A Bit OF Romance ON shlpbOard.

A Bit Of ROmanee ON BhlpbOard.
Jack Walton was one of the best
hearted fellows that ever lived,
and from early boyhood the ship
had been his home, and the only
breszss that he could remember
were such as had waited him from
point to point upon the ocean.
Jack had worked hard all his life,
and yet he was poor. But poverty
never made him unhappy. He was
never obliged to ask for a berth,
and many a time have there been
a dozen shipmasters after him, all
anxious to secure his services, for
a better sailor never tied reef
knot, nor did q drawer man ever
stand the shock of shipwreck.
Noble, generous, free, brave and
happy was Jack Walton. And be
was a handsome man. too his
hair was black and glossy, and
hung in ringlets over his finely
formed head; his eye was large
and full, and his features, though
bronzed by long years Of expo
sure, were fit for any model where
frankness and nobleness of con-
tour were wanted. Added to this
Jack possessed form that was the
very type of what physical man
should be-strong and powerful,
yet graceful and 1.-THE.
At the time of which we write
Jack was second mate of the ship
Norwood, on voyage from New
York to Canton, and back again.
They arrived at Canton in good
season, and while there the cap
tain, whose name was Tallman,
consented to take a passenger for
New York, the widow ofan Amer
lean merchant who had lately died
in China.
In due time the ship was ready
for sailing, and the widow came on
board, with her child. Various
had been the conjectures among
the sailors with regard to the ap-
pearance of the passenger, but
they were all of them disappointed
when she came over the side. In
stead of a moody, wrinkled, SOM
bre and wasted female, they beheld
a blushing, fair-skinned beauty Of
not more than four or fve-and-
twenty. Her husband had been
dead nearly a year, and as the
pangs of her grief had been soft.
ened down she had become herself
once more. And then her child,
a little blue-eyed girl of some four
summers, helped to cheer her soul
and make the world still bright to
her. She wrote her name as Mrs
Mary johnson.
Blow me if she aint the beauti,
fullest craft under a bonnet at
ever sot eyes on, said an old fore.
topman, addressing Jack Walton
Mary johnson was on the poor
with her child at this time, and the
eyes of half the crew were furtive.
ly directed toward her.
She is a beauty, responded
Jack, with a glow of enthusiasm.
And she looks good, too. None

tell yer, Bill, she's got a soul-you
can see it in them great blue eyes
of hers.
Aye, you've hit it, returned Bill.

luSt Such Wl1e as tnaI 10 SIanu
watch an watch with ye through |
life. Ell, Jack?
But Jack did not answer. Per-
haps he was thinking of how many
years he had lived alone-how
much money he bad thrown away,
and perhaps he looked off ahead to
see what hopes he had in the fu-
ture.
One evening, after the ship had
been at sea about two weeks, Mrs.
johnson was upon the poop with
her child. There was a fresh
breeze, and as the ship had it upon
the beam she was making good
speed through the water. Jack
Walton was at the wheel, just
standing there to keep the helms
man company, for he had charge
of the deck, and from that point
be could best see how matters went
on. He was just upon the point
of speaking to the helmsman, when
he was startled by a piercing cry
from Mrs. johnson.
Oh my child my child! she
cried.
Jack sprang over to where the
widow stood, and caught her just
in time to prevent her from leap
ing overheard.
What is it? he asked.
Therel therel fairly shrieked the
frantic woman, pointing to where
her child was being tossed up and
down by the waves that followed
in the ships wake.
By the bright moonlight Jack
could see the floating dress, and
as all the watch were by this time
upon the poop. he had not to look
| fal fof assistance.
Here, Bin, be said speaking
quickly, you hold this poor mother
and on your life don't you let her
go. Get down the stern boat the
rest of you, and come after me as
soon as possible. Bracket, call
the other watch to lay the ship to.
On the next instant Jack Wal
ton had leaped into the sea, and
was striking out for the lost child.
The mother spoke not, nor did she
move, but with both hands clutched
tightly around the old foretop-
mans arm, she stood and gazed
upon the swimmer and her child.
The boat was soon lowered, and
with the assistance of the other
watch the ship was hove to.
Once the mother started, as
though she would have broken
from the grasp of her guard; it
was when a sea broke over the
child and hid it a moment from
sight; but the thick, flowing gar
ments which the little one wore
seemed to spread out, parachute
like, upon the water, and hold her
up.
Thank Hsavenl Jack has reach
ed her, uttered the foretopman.
She'll be safe now, for Jack Wal
ton II die before he gives her up.
All, lady, you don't find many
shore-going men with such big
hearts as Jacks got slowed away
in his bosom.
The mother looked into the old
sailors face, but she did not speak,
and on the next moment her gaze
was again directed toward the
spot upon the heaving waters
where the stout sailor was strug-
Cling with the child. At length
the boat reached them, and the
widow saw her child lifted into it.
She murmered one whisper Of
thanks, and then she sank upon
the old sailors bosom, totally un-
conscious of all that was transpir-
ing around her.
When Mrs. Johnson came to
herself, she was aroused by the
voice of her child. She started up
as though from some wild, terrible
dream, but when her mind fully
came to her, she found herself in
her own state-room,and Jack Wal
ton stood by her side, holding the
child in his arms.
We cannot write the words the
mother then spoke. They were
too wild, too vehement; and then

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 3d, 1875, In this city,
Rector, eldest son of Colonel Charles s,
Mitchell, formerly of Missouri, and Mrs.
Julia SEWER MITCHELL daughter of ex-Gov-
ernor Henry Nj. Rector, of Arkansas.
Although only eight years of age, Rector
had developed such mental and moral traits
as TO indicate II brilliant manhood
The pride Of his father, the idol of his
mother, though petted and humored he dis
played such features of heart and mind as to
endesr him to the affections, and win for
him the admiration ofall who knew him.
Though filed with an exuberance of ami
NAL spirits, which found frequent express
sion in boylsh freaks and prauks, he never
allowed the baser motives to shape his
course, or hypocrisy and deceit to shield
him from the consequences of his acts.
10 his father and especially to his mother
he was full of gentleness, tenderness and
sympathy. Can II then be a matter of won
der II she feels that, In heaping the earth
over the body of such n son, a load is being
heaped upon her own heart never to be re-
moved except by him in the realms above?
1t was only few short days ago that he
came boun ing home from school, his face
beamlng with hope ana expectation. and
Joyously throwing himself into his mothers
Hrms told her that the summer holiday had
commenced, and how delightfully."- he would
spend 1t. Little then did the light-hearted
child or the big-hearted mother think that
In few short hours he would be granted the
eternal Holiday with Its everlasting delights.
Kindly hands gently laid him to sleep In
the bosom of his Mother Earth, and loving
friends mingled their tears with those of his
parents ~

Horse Thief Captured.

His name was w. Z. SHELTON, and he
didn't do anything but walk of with II
rope ON the night of the 9th ofJune, to
one end of which was attached a horse
belonging to Mr.. John Greenwald, of
this city, and Mr.. John Greenwald, of
thit city, and friend, didn't do any
thing but so after that rope. 1t was
pretty long ride, but they found it
away down in Bell county, and they
brought that rope back to Dallas with
them, likewise the horse, and likewise
w. 7. SHELTON. Mr.. Greenwald retain
ed the rope and horse, but turned Skel-
ton over to Deputy Sheriff George
Waller, who lodged him in Jail. Skel-
ton should congratulate himself that
Mr. Greenwald didn't leave that rope
hanging to some lone black jack, with
one end securely fastened to a limb
and q Mr.. w. p. SHELTON at the other
to hold 1t taut. Such cases have been
recorded.

letter from Master Edward Mack Bark

which, with all the ardor of a school
boys happiness, he speaks of the COM
ing examination and proudly and joy
fully looks forward to the hour when
he shall receive the rewards due dill.
gence, hard study and close application.
Mack says: 81 am studying night and
day to be distinguished in the exami-
nation, and | hope | will succeed but
If | should not, it will certainly not be
my fault, for put in every spare mo-
ment | can" No boy who takes such
an interest in his studies, and applies
himself as diligently as Mack has, can

successful and honorable examina-
ton. He will return home about the

A Rare Curiosity.

AT Antoines Hall may be seen a
cabinet containing number of rare
curiosities. First small statue In
bronze of the Goddess of Liberty of
the French Republic of 1893. 1t was
stolen from the Tuilleries during the
revolution of 1913 by soldier, who af-
terward linked his fortunes to those of
the gallant but unfortunate Maximil-
ian In Mexico. After the death of his
chief, he succeeded in reaching Texas,
where he has since been, passing his
time on the Frontier, engaging in all
the exciting and daring adventures in
cldent to life on the border. Then
there are two earthenware vases, of the
fifteenth century, which, If they
are TO be taken as criterion
of the workmanship of those
days, show that the labors of
OF their primeval ancestors have been
but slightly improved upon by their
progressive and enlighted descendants
Oh the nineteenth century. The next
thing OF interest is the war dress of the
noted Indian chief, Spotted Tail,
which, together with the pipe of peace,
arrows, photographs Of Spotted Tail
and other chiefs, go to make up a col.
lection OF most valuable curiosities.
The cabinet has been sent TO Mr.. An
tolne to be rallied of, who has placed
the low estimate Of fifty dollars upon
the whole collection, and placed the
chances at one dollar each. Those
who desire to secure rare curiosity
should not neglect the opportunity Of
taking n chance.
