a THRILLING SKETCH.

Early in the month Of August, 1911,
good sized brig started from Boston, bound
for New Orleans. On board there was an
old man named Adam Writ, seeking an only
son, who, he had learned, was somewhere
on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Adam
W. was wealthy, but for years he had been
alone to dwell among its glitter.
When the old man had taken second
wife to his home, his son Landon stepped
from his fathers roof, and swore that so
long as his stepmother lived, he would not
cross it's threshold again. The second wife
was now dead, and feeling sad in his lone
illness, the old man resolved to seek his
child.
The brig had good weather, and for sew
eral days nothing occurred to break the
monotony of the voyage but at length one
of the look-outs reported sail to the south
ward and eastward The wind was from
east, and the brig had it slightly abaft the
beam, as her course lay southwest
Captain Poole brought his glass from the
cabin, and after gazing on the ranges for
some ten minutes, made her out to be a
schooner standing directly towards them.
"Where do you think she's bound? ?"
asked Adam Writ, as he heard the captains
report.
"Couldn't say yet" replied the captain,
again leveling his glass at the stranger. 81
can tell you better after watching her a
spell"
Fifteen minutes passed, and at the end of
that time, Captain Poole lowered his glass.
and while slight tremor shook his frame
he said:
''That schooner is falling off,"
"And what of that? p" asked the old man.
who had failed to notice the captains man
ner.
"What of it? why, simply that the fellow
is bound for this brig"
"Wants to speak to us, suppose" said
Writ.
Very likely" returned the captain, as
he turned his eye aloft; and again turning
to the old man, he continued
"You need be under no needless alarm.
sir but in all probability that schooner is
a pirate"
GA pirate" reiterated Writ while his
face assumed livid hue. "Then what in
heavens name shall we do?''
''We shall have to make the best of it:
for of two things we may rest assured-we
can neither run away from him nor fight
him. Look, his deck is crowded with men,"
The briggs crew had by this time become
aware Of the schooner, and as may be sup
posed, they felt anything but comfortable

DAILY EVENING STAR.
THE SNOW FALL.

The snow had begun in the glooming,
And busily all the night,
Had been heaping field and highway
With a cover deep and white.
Every pine, and FIR, and hemlock,
Wore ermine too dear for an Earl;
And the poorest twig on the elm tree,
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds, new rooted with Carrara,
Came Chanticleer's muffied crow;
The stiff rails were softened to swans down
And still fiuttered down the snow.
l thought of a mound in sweet Auburn,
Where little hcadstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our little Mabel,
Saying, "Father, who makes it snow"
And l told Of the good All Father,
Who cares for us below
Again looked at tie snowfall,
And thought of the leadcn sky
That arched DER our first great sorrow,
When that mound was heaped SO high.
l remembered the gradual patience,
That fell from that cloud like snow;
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar of the deep stabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered,
''The snow that visiteth all;
Darling, the mercful Father
Alone can make it fall''
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to sister,
Folded close under the deep'ning snow.
