Winifred remained in Tallahassee some
days after her father and her aunt re.
turned to Thorne Hin, and when she
came home again Capt Fletcher had
taken his departure. She said, with
more yehemence than seemed necessary,
that she was very glad, although she
presently asked the colonel. with some
anxiety:

the colonel, coldly.
Winifred made no reply. A great bit
terness filled her heart and abided there.
She spoke no more of Nicholas. for she
no longer hoped to find him; and in
abandoning that hope she seemed to
have abandoned all interest in life.
The colonel was distressed beyond
measure. He still held to the theory
that because she was young she mus,

sacrifice for her sake, he said To her one
day:

SHIPPED FOR ONE TRIP.

One day in early spring of the year
1888, the revenue cutter Andrew John
son steamed into the harbor Of Frankfort,
a little town in the northern part of Michi-
gan, and made fast to the dock. The
vessel was to be painted, and for several
DAYS " all hands" were busily employed.
After supper, on the second day, the
quartermaster at the gangwaY espied a
small red squirrel playing on the wharf.
His curiosity being aroused he watched
the little fellow and noticed that he was
gradually nearing the g~ang-plank. Soon
he stopped at the other end, and sitting
on his launches, looked inquiringly at
the big sailor, who laughingly accosted
him with:
Would you like to come on board ?"
AS if he had understood the polite in
vitation, the would-be traveller almostim-
mediately scampered up the plank, jumped
over the bulwarks and ran down the
gangway, to the great amusement of the
quartermaster, as well as of n or two
others who witnessed the incident.
A search was made for the young stow
away, but he had effectually hidden him
self and was not seen again until the YES
sci was far out on the lake, on the second
day following Then he was observed
apparently searching for food.
Bread and corn-meal were scattered
about for him, and quickly disappeared
in a way to indicate a very good appetite.
Finding that he was not molested. he be-
came quite tame, and was a great pet with
all on board.
When we made the first port after leav-
ing Frankfort, it was supposed that he
would leave US, and necessarily he logged
as a "deserter," but such was not the
case. He evidently had no intention of
leaving, for although we stopped at many
places during the next three weeks and
he went on shore regularly, he never
failed to return on time, and was with US
when the vessel again ran into Frankfort
harbor.
Much interest was now manifested,
both by officers and men, to see what the
little passenger would do. He did not
keep us waiting. When the ship was
made fast to the dock and the boatswain
had "piped down." our young friend
came up, took a look at the wharf to as
sure himself that it was indeed his old
home, and quickly, without saying good
bye, ran down the gang-plank, and was
soon out of sight.
We never saw him again, but could he
have been followed, no doubt an interest
ing scene would have been witnessed
when he rejoined his family. What a
wonderful story he had to tell aud what
a hero he must be hereafter in the eyes
of squirrels who never took a free ride
on a government ship i YOuth'S Conn.,

"Then give it to your daughter" said
MI. Vhisk, if you think 1 am so low as
to love alone your yellow dross."
He then drew himself up to his full
height.
She few to his arms like a frightened
dove that has been hit on the head with
a rock. Folding her warm round arms
about his neck, she sobbed with Joy AID
gave her entire fortune to her daughter.
Mr.. Whisk then married the daughter
and went on about his business.
I sometimes think that, at the best, man
is a great coarse thing.
The widow wept for Whisk for a week
or two and bought a revolver with which
to kill him, but better judgment prevailed.
She suddenly came to her senses, and,
realizing what a weak revenge it was,
after all, merely to kill him, she packed
up her parrot and went to live at his
house.
Verify, she laughs best who laughs last.
I saw him, and, though he is wealthy,
he looks haggard and there are lines of
care around his mouth. They are doing
the best they can, and some day they
may extend clear around his mouth, if
they do well.

HE MASHED A HAT.

Along about the middle Of the coach
was a young lady, not a beautiful girl,
but just ordinary, although she had a very
jaunty hat and a sealskin sacque. A
young man got on at CASTLE, who stood
at the door and looked the passengers
over for a minute or two, and he then
walked deliberately down the aisle and
pumped himself down beside the girl.
AS he did so there was a crush and a
crash, and he sprang up to discover that
he had sat down upon a handbook and
mashed it fiat.

PRETTY, PATHETIC, PROFIT
ABLE.
A Touching, True Story of the Ten
Dollar Bill, the Baby and the
Good Deed.

Newark Journal: Franklin Murphy
brought sympathetic tears to the Eyes of
his hearers at the dinner of the Leather
Manufacturers Association by relating a
story OF benevolence. Arfriend of his, he
said, was walking down to business one
morning when he saw a young woman
with a baby IN her arms sitting on a church
steps and weeping. The man, whom Mr..
Murphy called Jones, was touched by her
apparent distress, and asked what was the
cause of it.
Il walked into town." she replied, "to
have my baby baptized, and now it will
cost So to have the service performed.
l haven't the money, and I don't know
what to do"
Well, that's a small matter said
Jones. II haven't So in change, but
here's a SO bill. Take it, and I will wait
here for the cha ge."
The woman returned in a short time
and handed Jones 81. He patted the
child's head and went down town rejoice
ing in his own goodness. He felt good
all day, and his countenance shone with
an unusual brightness. His associates all
noticed the change, and finally one of them
asked him the cause of it.
Il am happier than usual to-day" said
Jones, " and the reason of it is that I did
three good things on my way down town
this morning. He related the occurrence
and wound up by saying:
$50 l performed a deed of charity,
started a little child on it's way to paradise,
and-got seven good dollars for a counter

"But who kills off these guests ?" asked
the traveller.
"Oh, the other guests. As soon as the
niger comes up and knocks and bawls
out, Col. Shaw, who has No. 30, reaches
for his shotgun. Over in No. 20 Judge
Ravens ships out with his revolver.
