CHAPTER XIII.
CArTAIN FOX AND HIS GUEST


happier man than Ralph Denham
was the morning he sailed away from
Sag Han Dor, on the Wanderer, never
paced quarter deck.
He was young h ndsome and able,
but in his Joy he gave no thought to
these, for vanity held no place in his
brave heart. Tut he was or Tered to
meet the authorities o; the provin e,
and he felt certain no sailor who ever
let New York harbor had been moro
successful than himself. He felt glow
OF PRIDE at the sense OF a duty we'll per-
formed. but it is doubtful ii this would
have elated him so much had the graft
hcation, of what was now the control
ling impulse of his life, been wanting.
Lea Hedges had pledged him her love.
What II her a tonished father stam-
mered cut objections without cleark'
deiin ng them; young man felt THAI
he could set them aside, and that the
c.ou Is OF mystery that cnveloped his
origin wo I'D be disspated or forgotten
in the glow Of Il glory that was yet to
be his.
All nature was in harmony with h,a
joyous frame of mind.
lie had lo:ed the ocean from q boy;
but never be ore did he feel that ~ Ut
sympathy that. existed between m1s
strongly throbbing heart and the gayly
fashin waters.
lie had cruise among the Antilles,
tina gem with ropc growth the breast
of The Carl tean, which fringed with
beaded emeralds the hem of the oia
oceans hlan'le: hat their remembered
leauties were 1ank and garsh, COM
pareI with the verdant islands which
jeweled the hand Long Island extended
in gr|etinc - the ma inland.
lie was pa ing The deck. watching the
fishing canoes of the Indians, and re-
calling hundred happy days spent
with them on these bays, when Captain
OK, who had been issuing commands
in way that showed he was very
thorough sailor, io ned him. and said:
Il intended going up through the
Sound, but rs 90 not know the channel,
hardly care TO risk it with this wind, and
so will go outside. 1t will not make ten
minutes difference in the time"
Il thin am familiar with every foot
of the way up the Sound, and, if you
permit me TO act as pilot, l shall be

And Il at you could do so better than
any man that ever tr- versed that route,

glory, t. play plot for the Wanderer.
that has Yet reputation to make in
these waters. No, with tee southeast
wind and he open sea before us, we
can make the Narrows before the sun
has set" said Capt Fox, as he passed
his arm through Ralph Denbam's, and
began walking lack and forth, just as
ii they were the dearest friends in the
world. On tn" part of one, at least,
there was feeling Of regard that might
in time grow into strGlg friendship
but on the part OF the other there wf(
an inca aci for erything that did
not pan er to hi own avarice or feed

The poet TennysOn had his little
mishap just as less gifted mortals
do. On Il ternoOn h. called on some
friends. lea ne / that they were not
at home, and decided to leave a note.
The houscma Il took him to the
drawing room, and gave him pen,
ink and paper
When signing his name to his po-
lite little missile, Tennyson, by a
jerk of the elbow. overturned tho

at seeing a large pool of ink spread.

white Persian carpet of matchless
beauty. Horrorstruck he rang the
bell. TIP ran the servant. "Do please
help me-" cried the poet
1t happened that the milkman had
just left Il can OF frOthing milk at
the door, and the intelligent house
maid remembered in the nick of tink.
that new milk, if thrown over wet
ink, would remove "a Naces Of tho
dcspoiling fluid. Accordingly she
overturned the Jug upon the large
black pool, and with house flannel
and cloths set about rubbing and
scrubbng at the stain.
Down went Tennyson on his hands
and knees, rubbing and scrubbing
with his little helpmeet, His agony
Of mind lest his old friend should
knock at the door and suddenly ap-
pear on the scene of disaster he often
described in later days, declaring
that it reached the infinite" But
with such goodwill did this strange
couple work together that every trace
of ink wds removed.
"Here is 5-shilling piece, my good
girl" cried the poet, "and God bless
you!"
With that he seized his hat and
made for the door. Some week.
later an invitation to dine with HE
friends reached Tennyson. He wort,
and the carpet was in no way alluded
to on either side.

How Many Stars in the Flag?

1t is remarked rs singular, and pos
'ibly an indication of lack of patriotism,
that the average American, always except.
.ng school children, cannot tell off-hand
how many stars there now are in his
country's flag. If any reader of this de-
.ires to try the question on ten of his
friends he will probably find that only
:hree or four can give the correct number
even after a minute of hard thought.
The ordinary reply will range from
forty to forty-two stars instead of the
correct forty-four. The admission with
in four years of North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana, Washington. Idaho
and Wyoming has brought the list up to
the aforementioned number. The shape
of the Union has been changed from q
square to "a rectangle, and the stars are
arranged in six straight lines, the upper
and lower ones containing eight stars and
the remaining four having seven stars. -

Some 80 unemployed men who
were making their way towards

and because Of their resemblance
to tramps were taken up for vag-
rancy and fined SO each. These
men we're in destitute circumstan-
ces and We're hunting employment.
Gov. Hogg at once sent Che follow
ing telegram, for which he is to be
congratulated and Is worthy Of the
highest praise for the step he has
taken in this matter:
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12..- II the
published report Is true that the
city authorities have fined as va
grants unemployed workingmen
passing through this State from
California, l shall certainly ex-
press my condemnation of such ac-
ton by pardoning them when fur
uished with proper data and their
names. Texas will not counten-
ance the degradation Of the human
race by such methods. Food, not
fines, will be the treatment of the
law-loving, law-abiding element of
this State when men commit no
greater crime than TO travel OF
tramp for lack of work. Report
the fact to me mt once.

and afterwards deserts his promi-

of him. We are aware that there
are some who stand in awe at the
position taken by the News and
among these are some who voted
for free-silver, from our precinct

The great Courier-Journal, the
stalwart democratic paper, that
has done so much in framing the
ideas of the democratic party gives
warning tie United States Senate
that they must reform their rules
or the people will reform the Sen
ate. That paper says:
'Long ago the Courier-Journal
urged the necessity Of making the
Senate more responsive to popular
sentiment by giving the people d.
recuy the power to elect United
States Senators.
Aud that idea las grown until
now it is migrated into the minds
OF the people, and it is only a little
longer when the Senators must de-
pend directly upon the votes Of
the people they represent That
august body 10 longer suoserFes
the end for which it was created,
but has By systematic practice so
far depressed from the course in
tended. and by continual rulings
assumed within itself powers not
originally delegated to it, that it
now almost thwarts the very ends
for which the senate was created.
Hence as that body no longer acts
in its original capacity, the man
ner Of choosing that body should
also be changed to meet the emer-
gency. The only available and
practicable change is to let the sen
ators come directly before the peo-
pie whom they Wish to represent

There is something wrong with
that unconditional repeal Of the
silver. The usual way bad or per-
nicions laws are repealed Is to en-
act some other Law first, and adding
to the new law the clause, chat all

hereby repealed" The idea of
these Observation-Disclosures claiming
to be friends Of silver aud at the
