Saturday afternoon and evening and
Sunday afternoon are the hours OF rest
with one hour recreation on Wednes-l

fortunate ones who have not enough
demerits to restrict them, generally
spend these afterS oons in the quaint

winter q series of hops form amuse-,

The holidays are few and short, only
Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year
and Washington;s Birthday being al

find a relative in Washington or BaltI-
more to visit so off for day or two
on Christmas and New Year, and the
ones who stay behind find solace IN a
rest from study and the great boxes OF

come from home. Washington Star.

tion of q series of calisthenic and
marching. While the other cadets
spend their few spare hours in dane
ing at the hops and walking and firt-
ing with the crowds of pretty girls that
come to Annapolis at this time, the
new plebe must spend his time either
on the old Santee or drilling under the
guidance of Swordmaster Corbesier
and his assistants-and fine drillmas-
ters they are, too. Then at nearly
every turn some new and unexpected
regulation confronts the inofensive
plebe and, whether he meant to do
wrong or not, the demerits go down
against him. But it is when he goes
up to the mess hall to meals that his
cup is full of woe, for there the upper
classmen are upon him, some with
strings of questions that bother and
perplex him, and others with remarks
upon his soldierly bearing generally
an awkward attempt to be military
or upon his uniform, which is likely at
that time to be a conglomeration of
uniform and civilians clothing.
THE CADETS FIRST CRUISE.
At last the June ball and graduation
over, the cadets left behind, except
the second Gunior) class, embark on
the Constellation, sailing frigate,
over hundred years old, for the
three months summer cruise, when
the plebes learn the first duties of a
sailor and the upper classmen prac-
tice the duties of officers Dressed in
blue jacket suit of white duck,
sleeping in hammock hung from the
beams above the deck, and working
from morning till night, the young
plebe's life is hard one now. 1t is
not the work only that is hard; it is
the hazing and running that now be-
comes the Dane of his existence, for it
seems to him that every upper class
man thinks it duty to make plebe's
life miserable. The injurious hazing
of former days, which often resulted
in bodily injury, is gone, but enoug b
remains to keep the plebes occupied.
He may be required to eat piece OF
candle, occasionally taste a cake of
soap, hut that is the limit, and the
common forms of hazing amount only
to saying over doggeral rhymes or
standing on his head. And what if the
plebe objects and refuses, you say ?
Well, generally, it is said that he does
not refuse, but when he does fight
may be arranged, and the matter set
tied in the wash room up forward on

The Bear and Boat.

Four men in a boat had an exciting
scrimmage with an enormous bear on
Lake Whitcom. They were on fish
ing trip, and were armed only with an
az and a pistol. They saw it SWIM
ming in the water and opened fire:
The bear made straight for the bow OF
the boat, with it's eyes like small balls
of fire and it's mouth open wide. 1t

wood of the gunwale several inches in

Ak that were directed at him, Bruin
gave the side Of the boat swipe with
his foot, nearly overturning it. But
lust then the pistol and the OK got in,
their work, and the bear gave up the
fight and the ghost. The carcass was
towed ashore and weighed nearly 300
pounds. Morning Oregonian.

apolis, Nd, throng through the gate
way, where a marine sentry stands
guard day and night. To those who
leave through that gate after an un-
successful bout with the entrance ex-
aminations, the glance back through
the gate seems like view of lost para
disc and the sentry seems bar be-
tween them and their fondest hopes.
To the others-those who pass the en-
trance examinations with flying colors,
the same sentry seems Ikea prison
guard, keeping them in from the world
they have left outside. The lesson of
discipline, daily, hourly discipline, is
hard to learn, and the course of daily
study and drill seems long to look for
ward to; but once through success
fully, the reward is reached and the
Government gives the successful cadet
commission that is certainly most
honorable, and reasonably sure for
life. Once passed, he takes the '.iron
bound" oath of allegiance from an old
Justice of the peace in Annapolis,
whose Office is in the building that
served as law Office when General
Washington came to Annapolis to re-
sign his commission, and has been do
ing the same duty ever since.
After this the young cadet, or
''plebe," in the parlance of the acad-
emy, gets cap 1.-THE only part of his

CHAPTER XIV.


THE TRIAL or A WITCH.
The little body of the murdered bapr
was buried in O. hollow near Dorothea's
home, and within three days tho nnhap-
nv woman was taken to Salem by armed
guard, there to answer the double charge
of murder and witchcraft. For the crime
which she had committed was so terrible
that not one person in Sagnauck, savo
her husband and her adopted parents,
now entertained doubt of her guilt.
When the little party arrived in Salem
Dorothea was at once consigned to Jail,
and when once there, her condition be-
came so precarious that 1t was feared
she would never leave 1t even To answer
to the double charge against her.
MIR. Granville, unmindfnl OF the fact
that she might be summoned to higher
bar of Justice, devoted his time to care
full Advancement of his evidence against
her.
The witch fever was just then at its
height in New England, and the ncws
that notorious young witch was to DO
tried in Salem now spread through the
country and multitades locked 10 tho
city.
Besides Egbert and DR.. Lcnnox, there
was a third friend who visited tho jail
daily. It was an old man dressed as M
Indian and so thoroughly disguised that
no one would have suspected that he
was white. True he never gained ad-
mittance, but he was always observed
lettering around the prison door when
ever either Egbert or the Doctor were
visiting the prisoner.
The day set for the trial ut length ar
rived, and Dorothea, still far from well,
was led before the magistrate. A formal
charge of witchcraft and of murder we. q
read, and, by the advice of counsel, to
both she pleaded not guilty. These pre-
lininaries being over, the evidence OF
her league with the devil was begun.
The Rev. Henry Granville was the
first witness and minutcly hc traced tho
history of Dorcthea and her father, and
of the strange at1iction Of his daughter,
Achsah. Other members Of the settle
ment were sworn also and bore witness
to many strange actions Of the accused,
but the chief evidence against her was
divided into two heads-hcr persecution

had provided for her at her marriage

supposed to be clearly proven by the
testimony.
But when the defense began and DR..
Lennox was put upon the stand, even
Mr.. Granville was able to see that
the first part of his testimony would
fall to the ground. The Doctor stated
that he had made careful study OF
Achsah's trouble and that he was conf
dent that she was suffering from ncrv-
Gus disease, not often met with IN the
new world, but which was not uncom-
mon in the old. He pointed out that her
most violent attacks bad always occurred
during thunderstorm, and drew tho
deduction that her physical nature was
unusually sensitive to the electric cur
rents. To this he added his belief that
an inherited antipa:hy to Hillary had
been fostered and exaggerated until his
presence really did have an evil effect
upon the child, but that this effect was
due to anything which Hillary did, no
stoutly denied.

LIFE ON BOARD SHIP.
During these Summer cruises the
week days are spent cruising about in
Long Island Sound, the cadets work
ing the ship, those in the lower classes
doing the work of the blue jackets and
those in the first class acting as Off
GERS, under the guidance and super
vision of the regular officers. They
learn to tie knots, Chamber up the rig
ging, loose and furl sails, heave the
lead, and, in fact, to perform all the
many duties of sailor. The open sea
air and plenty of exercise make them
strong and healthy, and, in spite of
the fact that their hammocks are hung
as close as can be done on poorly
ventilated deck, and the food is often
not particularly enticing, they come
back from the cruise glowing with
health and bronzed by sun and sea.

THE HOUSE STRUCK by LIGHTNING.
In the last chapter mention was made
Of belatcd traveller who, approaching
the village through the woods, saw tho
Hillary cabin surrounded by unholy
light, and also saw in the light a wall of
demons dancing around it. They were
of fantastic shape, and yet here and there
were voluptuous limbs which would have
been temptation for ST. Anthony. Ap-
pearing here and there like an oft-recur-
ring thread in loom, appeared round
ed arm or q delicately curved leg, the
shadow of the outline of a woman's
breast and above in the darkness a
woman's face. These would pass in a
circle around the cabin, anG in their
place would appear the shrivcled forms
of hags, and the fiendish faces OF demons.
All wore themselves into Q supple dance
in which voluptuous forms and dcvilish
shapes were curiously interminglcd. 1t
was veritable dance OF the evil one
and his victims. The sight struck the
traveller with awe, and he stopped be-
meath an elm treo which grew by the
brook to watch it. For a full minute
the light lasted and then the stranger
continued his journey.
Just as he approached tho cabin he
heard roll Of thunder and saw Hash
