CHAPTER XIX.
HOW IT ENDED.

The experience of Ralph Courtenay
and his wife after the pardon was but
repetition of that which has occurred
thousands Of times, the world over.
The world does so love success-it
likes to array itself on the popular side,
and make haste to congratulate a rising
man. Ralph Courtensy, freed from his
bonds, perfectly justified, with the free
pardon of the crown in his pocket, was
very different person from Ralph COur-
tenay prosecuted, bounded to the very
shadow of the gaIIOws, deserted By all
but his counsel, good Mrs. GraysOn, and
his heroic wife.
The War Office speedily hastened to
acknowledge its wrong. Captain Ralph
Courtenay, said the general order, which
was read all over the world, wherever
eThe system Of forcible impressment Of
men to be seaman in the British navy IS a thing

when the navy was the right arm OF BRUSH

CHABTER XVI.
HOW THE CAPTAIN WAS SAVED.

HOW THE CAPTAIN WAS SAVED.
The tickle crowd, disappointed in the
CHASTITY spectacle they had come to see,
were now disposed to make a hero Of him
whose death they had wanted to witness.
They swarmed upon the platform to shake
hands with him; but the Sheriff, getting
him and the sailor into his coach. had it
driven rapidly to the inn.
The meeting, the reunion that follow
ed, are not to be described. Who could
venture with pen, pencil or tongue to
portray that scene?
In the evening of that brief December
day u quiet, thankful party, secluded from
the noise and confusion that still filed
the streets of Chelmsford over the events
of the day, dined together at the Star
and Crown inn. There were Captain
Courtenay and his wife, Mrs. GraysOn,
Mr. Lascelle, and bluff Absalom Bright.
Dinner over, they withdrew to a private
parlOr which the lawyer had secured for
the occasion.
Nov, Mr.. Bright, he said, when all
we're seated, please redeem your prom
Use, and tell us about this strange affair.
I suppose you are the only man in Eng
land who knows all about it; and I be-
lieve, from the little you have let drop to
me amid all this excitement and agitation,
that if you could have been produced as
witness at the trial our friend here would
have been acquitted promptly.
I'd have been to speak for him that day
what 1 knew. But the Hero was tumbling
about off ROchefOrt then, and 1t wasn't
till weeks after that 1 knew anything of
what was going on here.
You have saved my life, noble fellow
that YOU arel" COurtenay exclaimed.
And mine!" added Blanche. Il have
been as near death as Ralph.
Why, Lord love you, Captain, and
YOU, too, pretty madam, laughed the
boatswain; you almost make me feel
too bashful to begin the story at all. If
1 hadn't got here in time never a sound
nights rest would AbsalOm Bright have
known again, atiOat or ashore. Well, here
goes for the story.
First, I'll tell you how I happened to
be here, when the Hero IS still cruising
about the Bay of Biscay.
1t. was late in October that a supply
ship came down to our fleet. The purser
| brought a large mail, with many news
! papers. for the officers. Our Captain Is
/ q great hand to read the news, and he
| was half a day in his cabin, going
/ through q bundle Of the London and
| Liverpool gazettes.
Presently the word was passed that
! the bos'n was wanted in the Captain
/ cabin.
4 went down, and there was the old
man walking about in high state OF
| mind.
g Read that, Mr.. Bright he says,
handing me q paper, and marking the
| place with his finger.
Il read; and never do I expect to be SO
astOnished again while I live. After
ward I cut out the piece; wouldn't won
der If twas about me now"
The worthy bOatswain took out an an
Client pocket book, and from its contents
extracted a printed slip, which was passed
around and read. 1t was as follows:

A Texas Horse Trader.

There is cOlOred man IN Austin,
Texas, by the name of Sam JOhnsing.
He has some money which he has made
trading horses, at which business he is
an expert. One day Judge Peterby saw
Johnsing trading with an itinerant
horse dealer. Having some curiosity to
know how Sam came out in the trade,
he asked him;
Did you sell that fellow your
horse"
81 did, boss, for a fac.
"How much did you get"
"Twenty dollars"
"Only twenty dollars! Why, you
are a fool. That's valuable horse"
"Lemme tell you sOmethin', boss.
Dat boss is lame"
Judge Peterby happened to meet the
horse trader afterwards, and said to
him:
so you paid twenty dollars for that
horse ?"
eyes, I paid twenty dollars to the
darby. It's a pretty cheap horse"
"You have been sWindled. The horse
is lame.
81 know the horse Is lame, but it
don't amount to anything. He hmps
because he has not been properly shOd.
As soon as i take JAG SuOGS Oh u 41ltLL
he viii not limp a particle. L wOuldn. t
take a hundred dollars for that horse. p"
Half an hour afterwards Judge
Peterby met Sam.
Look here, Sam, you were swindled,
after all, in that horse trade. The lame
ness of the horse IS caused by his not
being properly shod.
"I know he amt properly shOd. /
had him shod that way on purpose, so
as ter make dat boss trader bIieve dat
he was lame from dat cause, but de
trOOf am dat he Is lame, sure enough,
and he gwinter stay lame. He nebber
viii be wuff muffin. Heah heah! How
I fooled dat boss trader.
The same evening Judge Peterby saw
the horse trader at the railroad station.
He was Just about to leave on the train
for Dallas,
"That horse is really lame. Sam has
got away with you, after all, said
Peterby.
THAT all depends on circumstances
7 think I can cure that horse; but If ]
don't I'm not out anything" replied
the horse dealer, grinning. Ask Sam
after he has tried to change that TWEEN
ty-dol1ar bill I gave him for the horse"
said the horse dealer, as ne climbed
into the car.-T'erGs Sifti93gs.

 James J. Slocum, who played with the New Ravens in 1886, has been on trial in New York for the murder of his wife. and was found guilty of murder in the first degree, Tuesday, the penalty of which is death by electricity.

The following comprise the team Carmody D., Wheels han c.. Phelan 1st b., M. Flood End b., Hahn 3rd b., Nc Neil ss., Lee lf., Devine cf., J. Flood If. All challenges to be addressed to T.

 The Cincinnati papers are placed in a peculiar position. When Duryea signed with Ward they said he was a drunkard only able to pitch ball once week, and then he couldn't do anything very good There was one exception to the defamers of the cyclone. Ren Mulford, jr, treat ed him kindly and said it was a loss to Cincinnati when he left. But Duryea is back now and will pitch for the Reds, if he has nerve enough to stick to his last contract. and we may expect something remarkable in the way of crawfishing by the men who gave 1t to him so un. merClfully some days ago.
