THE hero Of the story is gallant
Captain who rules the water He and
several companions were standing on
the pavement conversing about futures,
freight ETC., when his nautical eye was
rivited on a shining object on the side
walk near his foot. 1t was. indeed, a
small bonanza in the shape Of silver
quarter. The Captain did not call out:
Hello, shipmates, have found d
quarter; have any Of you boys dropped
it?" Not much; but he quietly put his
foot on the coin. Then he called the
attention Of the crowd to distant
flight Of pelicans. and while they were
looking away he stopped down quietly
and, without being observed BY any
body, he gathered in that quarter
Then he whispered in joyous whisper
70 a confidential friend don't saw
anything to the rest Of the boys. I've
found quarter Let's take stroll
into a saloon" And they slid off side
ways, unobscrvcd. into banquet hall.
They wiped their mouths. and the
hardy mariner went into his clothes for
his quarter, and it was gone. but on the
floor glittered another quarter. Then
change came DER the table Of his
Thoughts. 1t flashed over him in a
second that there was hole in his
pocket; that the quarter on which he
had "set EN- up was really his own.
and that besides that quarter about
three dollars in change was missing.
Then he perceived how premature was
his JOY over the windfall. There are
some griefs too sacred to be tempered
with, and this Is one Of them. The o.
cnrrencc was intended 10 be kept
profound secret, but. like the three
dollars. II leaked out. and you hear Il
on the street. but he don't hear any
tidings Of the rest Of the wealth. and
there was no Insurance on it, Gd'Us-
ton hews.
