AFTER WARDS.

1t won't be perfect bliss. You are
expecting too much, Amy. Robert loves
you devotedly, but you are losing all in
dividuality"
Il am very happy, Esther. suppose
Robert is not perfect, but he is manly
and fond of me-.
But is he more anxious for your hap
piness than for his own2 Does he say
as Wilhelm Meister said to Aurelia, No
woman shall receive an acknowledgment
of love from my lips to whom cannot
consecrate my life 4 Robert is am
bilious He Graves appreciation and you
give it. He feels the stimulus of your
presence and your love"
81 don't think Robert is selfish. You
know life is very absorbing to an active
man.
s'But love is not self-abnegation, Amy.
It is mutual helpfulness. Lean as you
will, only command reverence while you
win love-"
Amys house was beautiful. Perhaps
she idealized her husband, but she was
satisfied He had brought purity to his
home, that priceless gift of one immor-
tai being to another. A new life had
come into the family circle-a baby girl,
with her fathers face cast by Gods hand
in the daintier mold Of womanhood. He
was proud of, and the mother grateful
for, the other self But there came days
of anxiety and nights of weariness
'sRobert, won't you get up and care
for the baby? 1 am SO tired"
81 must have sleep, Amy, and not be
bothered at night She'll get over cry
ing;" and he soon slept heavily.
The mother, wounded at heart, crept
out of bed and carried the baby half the
night in her arms, her tears falling on its
chubby face. Robert did not mean to
be unkind, she reasoned to herself, but
then, was not the baby his child as well
IS hers7
Lines made themselves on Amy's young
face, and, day by day, so much as a
hairs breadth, it might be, husband
and wife grew apart. He read much,
she little. She was devoted to
her child, he to business and his own
plans. Did he love her all the time2 He
thought so, only he lacked consideration.
She looked carefully after his every COM
fort, but with something lacking from
the old joy in doing. When other chill
dren came, not always welcome to the
overworked mothers Robert seemed more
and more boarder in his home.
Canon Farrar says: "One loving soul
has soothing power Like the shining of
the sunlight, or the voice of doves at
evening, and this to Amy was wanting.
Sunlight and evening were becoming
alike to her. Robert walked sometimes
with her and the children, but be usual

THE PIRATES CAPTURE.


"Avast heavingn
Captain Foamcrest turned quickly on
his heel after giving this order in the
sharp, decisive tone habitual to seafar-
ing men, and continued to pace the quar-
ter-deck of the Avenger with regular
tread. With hands behind him and eyes
steadily fixed on the oaken planks which
upheld him he did not look like man
on whose mind was pressing the weight
of a great responsibility responsibility
that ere the sun sank to rest beneath the
waters might necessitate the shedding
of human blood For five minutes he
paced the deck in silence, and then,
turning with show Of impatience and
speaking in tone that betrayed irrita-
ton, if not anger, he again said: "Avast
heaving"
The man to whom the command was
addressed, a fine, brawny fellow, with a
clear eye and honest face-in fact, the
very model of frst-class sailor, drew in
his head from over the bulwarks and re-
piled, ~ cannot"
"How long have you been in the
American navy, my mani" asked the
captain, in not unkind tones"
"Ten years, sir, }" was the reply.

"Aye, aye, sir, replied theman, hitch

The captain walked slowly aft and ad-
dressed the man at the wheel Old
Tom, grizzled sea dog, who had sailed
the Wabash under Secretary Thompson,
and seen service off the rock-bound coast
of Lemont, when hostile constabulary
endeavored to attach a canal-boat.
''How does she head2n asked the cap
tain, looking into the pinnacle.

giving the wheel turn and glancing
aloft to see that the topsails were draw

Night has come.

NlgnI mas cOne.
The Avenger is cleaving The water in
gallant style, the white foam curling from
her bow as she comes in stays and stands
away on the starboard tack. The quar-
ter-deck is deserted save by Lieutenant
Alltaut, whose watch it is. The captain
has gone below, and the steady, strident
snore that is waited upward tells that he
is asleep. Suddenly one of the lookouts
comes aft and touches his cap to the
lieutenant.
s'There's sail on the port bow, sir,
he says.
Lieutenant Alltaut takes his glass and
looks in the direction indicated.
SIT is the pirate" he says, speaking
calmly, as do all naval oficers-in books.
'Send man below to put clothes-pin
on the captains nose. And while you
are there bring up my cutlass and piece
of ME"
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1884-01-03
The man disappeared.

In the meantime preparations had Deen
made for the approaching conflict. The
men were stationed behind the bulwarks,
and their faces wore determined look.
Nearer and nearer drew the Avenger to
her prey, until at last she lay alongside
the dreaded oyster pirate Of Chesapeake
Bay Not sign Of life was visible on
the craft From the mizzenmast weeks
washing tapped dismally in the night
wind. Lieutenant Alltaut reached over
the Avengers side and grasped shirt,
thereby being enabled to hold his vessel
steady. The men witnessed this maneu-
yer in silent admiration Brilliant sea-
manship always commands respect.
"Ship ahoyr' called the lieutenant.
A noise was heard aboard the craft, and
an instant later Black Mike, the pirate,
appeared on deck. He comprehended
the situation in an instant, and drawing
a huge knife from his boot sprang for
ward to cut the tail from the shirt t.
which Lieutenant Alltaut was holding
thereby allowing the Avenger to drift
into the darkness The officer was on
the alert, however, and felled the pirate
to the deck with piece of the govern
ment pie which he had not had time to
eat. The man rose quickly, but thoroughly
humbled.
"Well,n said he, sulleniy, ''you have
caught me at last"
''Do you surrender9" asked the lieuten-
ant
sNo,n answered the pirate, with a
horrible oath; Il will sell my life dearly. !"
''Refect on what you are doing" and
Lieutenant Alltaut's voice trembled as
he spoke 'eYou are at our mercy. At
a signal from me 100 copies of Secre-
retary Chambers report win be hurled
on your deck
"Ahr' said the pirate; ''are you, then,
devoid of all humanity9n

quarter will be given if the battle is
