The man neglected to procure transfers, and
when approached by the conductor positively

the conductor and gripman to eject him. The

mothers do not understand the little arts of
economy and the sons and daughters do not

"How many men have you on your ship?"

Then fifty of the sixty Algerines were where

''Tell them other ten men to come aboard

swarmed the pirates, and before long fifty of
'em was standing on the deck.
''What ship is thls?" asked an interpreter
of my grandfather. for all Barbary pirate
ships carried interpreters, meetin' people of
all nations, as they did.
.'This," replied grandfather. sis a ship

The interpreter translated this to the old
pirate captain, and then he said that the cap
tain wished to try one of the dream caskets,
to see If grandfather was tellin' the truth
about 'em.

captain and ten others stepped In.

The Algerines looked at the silver handles,

they believed every word grandfather had

their country they put folks in stone tombs.

little glass windows so they could breathe, he
shut the covers, the patent locks fastened, and
there they was.

grandfather; now. must catch the Others"
Then he and the interpreter went on deck

When he came on deck in the mornin he
found the mate lookin through the long glass
at q vessel to the windward. He took O
suuint likewise and see that it was an AL
gerine pirate vessel. There was the banks of
oars and the red flag with white spot on it
fioatin' at the masthead. Grandfather's first
impulse was to crowd on all sail and try to
escape, but then he remembered what the
mate had told him the night before, and he
thought to himself that he might as well be
in the hands of pirate from Algiers as a
pirate from Marblehead, so he sot down and
never uttered a word. Pretty soon Bagley
come on deck, and when he was told that
pirates was chasin' 'em he got frantic. He
begun givin' orders to the crew, but as he
didn't give none of 'em correct nobody
minded him. The pirate ship kept gettin' a
little bit nearer. and grandfather
done what 1 alters considered a very
queer thing. He decided to turn
Mohammedan. He thought to himself that 1t
was pretty likely that the pirates would catch
'em, even If they did try to get away. Then
they would be made slaves until their friends
ransomed them. As for him, he didn't have
no friends or near relatives to ransom him.
If he would turn Modammedan, the Algerines
would set him free and make great man Of
him, like they alters did with Christian slaves
who turned. Then he would see that the crew
was sent home without ransom-all except
Bagley; he would buy him and make him
work all-flred hard. If the ship got away,
then he would be in old Bagleys hands, and
would starve at Naples. If the ship got
caught, then he would be saved from ruin.
would get even with Bagley, and the crew
would be no worse off than they we're before.
He had no friends to leave in America The
only thing that troubled him was leavin' his
religion; but he said to himself that If such
pizen scoundrels as Bagley could be deacons
in the church, he didn't care much about
leavin' such a concern.
Well, Bagley seed that grandfather didn't
take no interest in the question whether the
Mary Ann could beat the pirate, so he said:
''Truscott, what's, the matter with you any
way?"
Grandfather up and told him what the
mate had heard him tellin bis wife, and said

How the St. Louis Congressman Enter
tanned Angels Unaware.
Congressman Charles F. Joy is expecting
his intimate friend, ex-Labor Commissioner
Peck, of New York, to visit him at the capital
in a few days. Joy Is a Republican; Peck is
Democrat. Joy succeeded John J. O'Neill
from the st. Louis district two years ago, and
unless something now Unforeseen happens he
will come back to Washington for as long as
he wants his present job. He is invincible in
his district. When he was candidate in 1892
nearly every newspaper man in the city did
all they could for him. Democrats who had
never been known to scratch a ticket before
abandoned O'Neill and voted for Joy. He is
the prince of good fellows.
About fifteen years ago. just about the time
Mr.. Joy began the practice of law in st. Louis.
two gentlemen walked into his office early in
in the morning.
MY name is Peck" said the speaker for
the two, land this is Mr.. Clark" Mr.. Joy
invited them to have seats. and they accepted
his invitation. They talked upon various
subjects until noon. Mr.. Joy then pulled out
his watch, and. taking the hint, Mr.. Peck and
Mr.. Clark excused themselves. Along in the
afternoon Mr.. Peek and Mr.. Clark reappeared
at Mr.. joys law office.
.'Have seats, gentlemen" said Mr.. Joy,
and Mr.. Peck and Mr.. Clark sat down. Would
they have a cigar? Why, of course. So the
three smoked and chatted along until the
stars began to twinkle in the evening. Mr..
Joy looked at his watch again, and as he did
so his visitors arose from their chairs, as il to
take their departure.
''We've spent very pleasant day with you,
Mr.. JOY" said Mr.. Peck. I'VE are on our
way to New York. he continued, land if you
ever come up that way we'll be glad to see
you"
Now. have enjoyed your company ex-
ceedingly much,' replied Mr.. Joy. "but will
you please tell me what the devil you came TO
see me about?'
I'm tell you,'' said Mr. Peck "Mr. Clark
and have just arrived from Florida and we
are dead broke-stranded, as the saying
goes-nothing to eat, a hole in the seat of
our pants, q thousand miles from home, and
no black thread. As we were walking along
the streets to-day, straining our eyes for
familiar face, we saw your name on the door.

to see him, said to Clark; and here we are.
We are hungry. Fix us up for square meal
and we will not forget you
Mr.. Jov took them to his hotel-the old
Planter's-and registered them as his guests.
They remained a week. when Mr.. Peck re-
ceived a remittance from his home. and they
left. The next thing Mr.. Joy heard of them,
Mr.. Peck had been elected labor commits
sioner of New York and Mr.. Clark was hold
ing responsible railroad position in Michi-
gan. They are now the warmest and best of
friends, and when Mr.. Peck arrives in WASH
ington he will be warmly welcomed by his
young and distinguished Republican friend
from the microbe district of Missouri.
