DICK RODNEY'S REVENGE.

"Lord, let me have chance to be re-
vcnged at lastl"
That was what Dick Rodney said as he
turned from tho door of the sweetheart
he had been thinking of during all the
long voyage just ended, with the news
that she was married to another burning
in his heart like red hot iron.
She was light, foolish thing, not
worthy of true mans love.
But he had worshiped her, and she he :
Tilted him and married Ralph Holloway
1t was not tale to tell,ia sorrow to
seek sympathy for.
Dick went back to sea apnoodier man
than he had been, and now and then he
would say to some mate:
"There's fellow I'm boundto be even
with some day."
But he never said why.
He felt himself bitterly aud shameful
ly injured, and he felt sure that God
would cast his enemy into his hands in
the end
1t seemed to him that it was not neces-
sary for him to seek it, but only to bide
his time.
Five years passed, and still he said:
~ wait" And one morning he looked
up and saw Ralph Holloway standing op-
posite him, and said to himself:
"The time is coming"
II had been very hard for Captain
Palmer to find hands for that voyage.
The Betsy Belle had met with many dis
asters and was counted unlucky. And
the Captain was not liked.
The crew was rough one when it was
made up, but here was Ralph Holloway
coming to add himself to it. 1t was a
curious fact, and one of which Dick
Rodney was not aware, that Ralph had
never known anything of Effie's engage
ment to him. He had come home from
voyage, met pretty girl at party,
spent his money in giving her presents,
and offered himself.
He was handsomer man than Dick,
and being less prudent, seemed more
generous. Efie accepted him, and left
it to her mother to tell Dick the news on
his return, quite conscience free. Ralph
walked up to Dick, holding out his
hand.
"I've seen you BEFORE" he said.
"You've forgotten me, guess. Pm
Ralph Holloway, of your own town."
"Oh, know you well enough" said
Dick, without taking his hand.
Odd ways are not uncommon amongst
sailors. Ralph said'to himself that Dick
was crusty, and put his hand away in his
pocket.
81 shouldn't wonder if you didn't
know me, he said. ssI'm run down and
mighty low in pocket, or wouldn't have
shipped with Captain Palmer. I've had
pretty bad luck"
''Have youG" said Dick "And yet
they say Old Nick never deserts his
friends"
81 amt made friends with him as 1
knows of" said Ralph. "About the
time married, got bit of money from
grandfather, and bought house and
put my wife intoit, We had a couple
of babies, and things seemed going on
first rate. Then ) went on an unlucky
voyage, was shipwrecked, came horae
sick, and lay idle six months. I let my
insurance run out-cause why2 couldnt t
pay it-and that week my home was
burned down by tramp I'd driv off the
ulace. One Of the children was badly

An Ivory Knee Joint.

Professor Gluck, of London, recently
performed remarkable and successful
operation. He removed from one of his
male patients diseased knee joint and
inserted an artificial substitute made from
ivory. The patient has now left his bed.
He walks with perfect ease and says that
his ivory knee joint is convenient and
comfortable in every way.-Pitts6ura

WHEN DAY IS DONE.

When day Is done and down the steep
OF rose-hued sky the shadows creep,
To nestle where the valley fair
Smiled through noon's sheen Of sunbright
air,
And wrap the drowsy folds in sleep
Then does solemn essence sweep
Athwart the soul and vigil keep,
As faithful mourners keel in prayer,
When day is done.
In that strange hush, dear God, we weep
Our shattered hopes and blindly reap
The scattering grain, the wealth of tare,
That meets our hand. In weak despair
We seek thy throne, as wayworn sheep,
When day is done.

How far the idea of using electricity
as street-car moter has progressed can
be judged from the fact that in a trade

railways, one-third of the articles re-
late to electricity and its application to

WOULD NOT LOWER THE FLAG.
The stars and Stripes Cause Commotlon
In a Canadian Port.

KINGSTON, Ont, June l2-Quitc ripple
OF excitement was created at Ferry wharf
yesterday afternoon by an attempt on the
part Of Col. Cotton, the commandant OF
Battery 4, stationed at Kingston, to pre-
vent an excursion party boarding the
American steamer st. Lawrence until she
had lowered the stars and stripes. A few
days ago the management Of the steamer
received permission from the Canadian
government 10 call at Canadian ports down
the ST. Lawrence river TO collect excursion
lists. The boat was engaged Wednesday
by the Canadian Order OF Foresters for an
excursion TO the Thousand Islands. Among
those most prominent in the party was
Mayor Brennan, Of this city, who had en-
gagged Battery A band to escort the excur-
sionists. When about to board the boat
the mayor was informed by Col Cotton
that he must not board the steamer until
the American flag was hauled down This
order caused great commotion among the
Foresters and their friends. The owners
Of the steamer, however. after being con.
suited, refused to obey the order and SO
informed Col Cotton.
The American flag was flying at the end
Of the steamers bowsprit and the Union
Jack at the top Of the staff at the bow ol
the boat, ana tine stars and Stripes wert
also displayed at the stern.
Col Cotton was interviewed by a reporter
and said with reference to the mntter Of
allowing the men TO land in American
ports wearing British military uniforms
1T is against the regulations governing
British troops and objected found out
afterwards that il was not intended to land
the men, and when / learned that the
American flag was flying ia a conspicuous
place on the steamer ! objected 10 allowing
the members Of the hand 20 90 on board

10 see a body of British troops being con.
veyed through the Thousand Islands on a
steamer carrying the Stars and Stripes az

wrong in the men going with the excursion
