When Baron Schoenstein became of age
he Inherited several mil lion florins and big
estates which he squandeTed in riotous Iiy-
ing and speculation. Everything gone, he
resigned his commission as Elrst Lieu
tenant in the Dragons, and when con-
fronted by poverty he did not resort
TO the pistol, but took q more phil
osophic visw of life and accepted
a position as supervisor of the street rail-
ways. Once in a wbile when brought into
contact in business way with those who in
former years were only too glad 10 toady to
him, the Barren became offensive to such
degree that at last his employers found
themselves obliged TO reduce him to the
rank of car-driVer.
This position he filed with military pune
tuality. and only once in while, when he
received a small remittance from some rela-
tive, did ne absent himself long enough to
spend it.
The Baron's widow and her brother, q cap
tain in the dragons, attended the funeral,
the expenses of which were betrayed by q
wel-knowu Vienna Countess. Herr Won

George Adams. well-dresSed young man,
who gave his address as the Nucleus Build

all for the sake of a new hat. He was sit
ting on the end of the Union street Wharf
about o'clock. surveying the shipping in
the stream, when sudden gust of wind
blew his hat into the water. lie had paid
S5 for the tile in the morning. and did not
like the idea of losing it so soon; and as
there was no boat at hand he threw off his
coat and vest and boldly plunged into the
bay after the hat.
He reached the hat safely enough, and
then struck out for the scow. Idler, mooged
closed by. His strength gave out, though,
aud lie was on the point of sinking when
one of the crew named Anson threw him a
rope. Adams managed TO catch it, and was
then drawn alongside and helped on board.
"How did you fall into the water?" asked
Anson, as the man whom he had rescued
stood wringing the water out Of his cloth
ing"
II did not fall in. Jumped in after my
hat" he replied.
"You jumped in after your hat?" queried
the sailor, as his eyes opened to their widest
extent in surprise, then, by shiny, if l

tone, would you mind doing me small
favor?" The partner turned from the car

the landscape, and said, Certainly not"

quart bottle half full of corn-eolored Juice.
The newspaper man made haste to say lie

piled the big Texan, with grim smile.

sional gritting Of the teeth the Texan rolled
up his pantaloons to the knee and
brought to view a fresh bullet-hole In his
leg. Now" SAID he, '.just let the whisky
drip on her, will you?" The bottle was
tilted, and while the Texan sat with set
face the scorching fluid trickled into
and around the wound. The ear was
full. Several male passengers shifted the
air and looked at each other inqhiringly.
But nobody save the Texan and the bottle
holder knew what the smell meant or
whence it proceeded. In few moments
the Texan said he Thought that would do"
drew long breath. rolled down his panta-
looms and put the bottle back in his pocket

It became their great subject of thought.
One sultry night George lay awake in
his berth and he heard the W Portu-
curse sailors talking in their native lam
guage. He could not speak that Ian
guage, but it was near enough to Spanish
to permit him to CLEAN the meaning, and
that was that they had broken open one
of the boxes belonging to George and had
found that it was full of gold and silver,
and they were planning how they could
manage to steal it and fill the space with
old iron or something else hat would con-
ceal thcir crime.
In the morning George asked the cap
tain to let him bring one of his boxes into
his room, as he had need of it, and he and
Maxwell went down in the hold and
brought it up themselves, pretending not
to notice that it had been opened, ana they
put it in their stateroom.
AS soon as the Portuguese discovered
that the box was gone they at once seemed
to feel that they had been wronged, and
they swore vengeance, but for Il few days
nothing was done, openly, at least, but
George noticed that, one by one, the en-
tire crew seemed to grow sulky, and to do
their duty in a defiant, unwilling manner;
still he did not feel it his duty to speak of
it to the captain. He afterTard often
wished he had.
