Jack now took off his blue flannel
jumper and overall trousers, fixed them
artistically together and stuffed them
out with the coarse grass growing every
where around u.s. Then he held the
dummy beyond the edge Of a bowlder
in such way as to look as if the bulge
OF his own body were protruding, says
Lippincott's Magazine.
The old, old ruse succeeded admir-.
ably, for instantly there came from the
cover, about thirty yards away, a hurt
ling shower of arrows; and as soon as
Tom and had fired our decoy shots a
squad Of hidcously painted Apaches
sprang up, and with uplifted toma-
hawks and terrific yells, rushed toward
us. But not for far.
"Now, boys!" shouted Jack, and at
the crack of our rifles the three fore
most braves went headlong down.
For a few seconds the others stood
bewildered, and then, as one after an
other dropped under the storm of re-
volver bullets, fired SO rapidly as to
seem like the work of a dozen enemies,
the surviving warriors darted off to
their ponies and scurried away.

A WEIRD SEA TALE.
The Deep Mystery OF an Abandoned Ship
and Its Missing Grew.


One of the strangcst stories about an
abandoned ship comes from the Indian
ocean. In 1922 the British corvette
Lizard was cruising off Ccylon. A ship
came in sight with all sail set, and
making good speed through the water
The officers took a long look, and one
said: 'There is something wrong
about that vessel Her crojach is loose
and Tapping, and there is no man at
the wheel. We had better run down
to her.
This was done, says the New York
World, and when near it was seen that
the ship had no crew, as there was no
answer to the hail. When boarded
there were no marks of trouble until
on raising a sail that was spread over
the main hatch. the BODY of a man was
found. He had been ironed to the
lock-bars of the hatch cover, and had
apparently been dead a week.
On going into the cabin the body of
an elderly man was found. He had
been stabbed to death. On examining
the log-booll 1t was on record that the
ship was Spanish, from the Philippines,
and named Ell Frey Antonio; but,
strangely the last entry was six weeks
past, and spoke of abandoning the ship
at a point a thousand miles away,
bound for Malaga, Spain. She was left
on the road to China. A pitcher of
water on the table was intact. Could
the vessel have come this long journey
without meeting a storm, and how had
the dead men got here? They had not
been dead six weeks, and both were
Lascars.
The Frey Antonio was taken into
Madras, the Spanish government noti-
fed, and their answer only made the
mystery deeper. The ship had sailed
from Celebes more than year before,
with six Roman Catholic priests as
passengers, bound for Spain, and had
no Lascars among her crew And this
was all And from that far away
time until now the story of Ell Frey
Antonio is one of the secrets of the
deep.

But, though the street below was

SEA LAWY ERS.
They Are Dreaded More by the Com.
nandcr Than storms.

"The chief of all things on earth a
sea captain breads is the sea LAWYER"
said an old, grayhaircd commander to
Baltimore News reporter 1.-The ty-
phoon of the China seas and the hurri-
cane of the West Indies are bad, but
they are not in it for raising a rumpus
with the sea lawyer.
'The fellow | refer to as the sea
lawyer is the one or more sailors
almost sure to creep into every fore
castle at one time or another, who. be-
ing little better educated than his
mates, becomes their leader and pro-
ceeds to make himself solid with them,
and deadly enemy of the captain and
them that never existed and filling
their heads with nonsense and imag-
mary wrongs. He'll tell them they
must have plum duff every day, ac-
cording to law, and they'll believe him,
and raise cain if they don't get it.
He'll persuade them they are worked
too hard, and every man Jack OF them
will desert the ship at her first port of
call. He'll make them believe they
own the vessel before he gets half
through with them, and will instigate
half dozen or more damage suits
against the ships owners among them
as soon as they set foot ashore.
'The sea lawyer is generally
sneaky fellow. who makes a steady
practice OF deceiving honest sailors and
getting them into trouble and then
leaving them to get out as best they
can. He is hated and dreaded by every
captain afloat, and there's only one way
OF arguing with him-that's with be-
laying pin. I've known more than one
bloody mutiny to be stirred up by

IN COMMAND OF THE ARMADA.
Several Of the Things Which Philip III.
Forgot.

Several of the Things Which Philip II.
Forgot.
In the Armada the crusading enthu-
siasm had reached it's point and focus,
says Froude in Longmans Magazine.
England was the stake to which the
virgin, the daughter of Sion, was bound
in captivity. Perseus had come at last
in the person of the duke of Medina
Sidonia, and with him all that was best
and brightest in the countrymen Of
Cervantes, to break her bonds and re-
place her on her throne. They had
sailed into the channel in pious hope,
with the blessed banner waving over
their heads. ....-.
To be the executor of the DEGREES of
Providence is q lofty am mbition, but men
in state of high emotion overlook the
precautions which are not to be dis
pensed with, even on the sublimest of
errands. Don QuiNote, when he set out
to redress the wrongs Of humanity. for

H., in sending the Armada to England,
and confident in supernatural protec
ton, imagined an unresisted, triumphal
procession.
He forgot that contractors might be
rascals. that water four months in the
casks in a hot climate turned putrid
and that putrid water would poison his
ships companies, though his crews
were companies of angels. He forgot
that the servants of the evil one might
fight for their mistress after all and
that he must send adequate supplies of
powder, and worst forgctfulness Of all,
that great naval expedition required

Perscus, in the shape of the duke Of

astrous battles, found himself at the

he ought never to have been, nine
tenths Of his provisions thrown over

JAPANESE MUSIC.
Recognized as One OF the Professions of
the Blind.

the Blind.
Berlioz once wrote sort of criticism
Of Chinese music, intimating that it
was beneath notice. Chinese music is
anterior to Japanse music, says the
Boston Transcript. The people Of
Japan took their music from China,
and have improved upon it. A good
many intelligent westerners argue that
there is no music at all among the
Mongol races. But that is a mis- take,
certainly as regards the Japanese.
Modern Japanese music is composed al
most exclusively for the thirteen
stringed koto. For the kokyn, Or
fiddle, there appears to be no indie
pendent music; but for the samisen-
irreverently called by some the banjo
Of Japan, an instrument with which it
has no af1inities-there exists a small
repertory of songs. For the salxuhachi
"a Tipped bamboo pipe-there-is also a
quantity of independent music, which
seems to have come down to the pres
ent time from quite different sources
than those from which the koto music
has been derived. The music for the
biwa has not altered for over six hun
dred years Koto music is written. 1t
has been many times stated that there
is no notation; but the music is SO
complicated that it would pass the wit
of man to do without some form of
musical writing. The books are never
used except for reference. By the
majority of professional musicians, in
deed, they could not be used. for they
are blind, music being one Of the
recognized professions Of the blind.
And, second, the written music is the
exclusive possession of the profession
ais of the highest rank. Except by
very special dispensation no pupil is
ever allowed to learn in any other way
than by listening, watching and com
mitting to memory.

A GIANT FREELY.
Used by the Natives of the West indies as
an UluminatOr,


The great firehy-elater noctilucus-
is an inla bitant of the savanna1s of
most Of the warmer parts of America
and the West India islands. It is said
to attain length of eleven and half
inches In the gloom of night, says
ALI the Year Round, these flies are ex-
tremely luminous, and the effect is
brilliant. The light chiefly proceeds
from four parts. namely, from two
glandular spots behind the eyes, and
one under each wing. They have the
power to cut off the light at will, in
which case the glandular spots become
perfectly opaque. The light Of this
wonderful insect by itself is such that
if the creature be held in the palm of
the hand, print or manuscript is as
easily read as by a candle. The abo-
riginal natives cage these creatures and
make use of them, it is alleged, as Ian
terms. Ladies adorn themselves with
this electric-like luminary.
1t IS related OF lion Uomlngo Conde,
of Colombia, that he would appear on
the evening promenade with a large
FREELY o,.namenting the buckle of his
broad hat, while band Of smaller
luminous insects surrounded it. The
same Spaniard lighted his palace with
frehies IN silver cages. The display
must have been enchanting, for at one
time the light is ruddy, then there is a
change to golden yellow. It is stated
that when the Spaniards were about to
land one of their expeditions against
Mexico, a panic was caused by these
luminaries. The host of fitting lights
on land was supposed to be an indi-
cation of the enemy arousing their
camp to resist the attack.
When the English were attacking
the West India islands the firefies were
taken to be Spanish army advancing
with burning matches against them,
and the upshot was hasty retreat to

TOO SPLENDID TO LAST.
How Japan's Lending Actor Had His
Head Turned by Success.


Head Turned by Success.
For several years the japanese have
been pointing with pride to their great
Thespian, one Kawakami Otojiro. This
distinguished actor was the favorite of
the Soshi. He made innovations in dra-
matte art. He was nothing if not real
istic. When the war came last year he
realized that his harvest time had ar
rived. He wrote and put upon the
stage war drama of the most CORY and
terrifying character. He introduced
European effects, with battles, ship
wrecks, rescues, etc. The heroics were
never better presented. He coined
money.
Then, says the New York Herald, to
give himself greater leeway, he rushed
off to the seat of war and returned
gorged with carnage and fresh rcalisms
His popularity increased tenfold, for
here was an actor who had seen battle
fields and slnelled the gaseous product
OF gunpowder. His new play brought
him fresh laurels, as he perched for
awhile upon the perilous crest of fame.
Imagine the surprise of everybody
when it was learned the other day that
the great IIawai1ami had been laid by
the heels by a bailiff in Osaka and all
his effects, movables, belongings and
available assets sold under the ham
mer to satisfy remorseless creditors. It
then became known that this child of
genius, like others of his guild, had
been totally unable to withstand pros
pe1'ity. He had been living a life
SO fast and furious that he practic-
ally threw into realms oscuro the vol
canic expression of Japan. He carried
in his train not less than half a hun
dred of the most graceful. gorgeous and
genuaectious Of the gicsha girls of the
empire. HIS dinners were the delight
OF the epicures. In a word, he cut a
tremendous swath And now the con-

YANKEES FULL OF CURIOSITY.
Visitors to War Ships Show the Great


Whenever a ship of the United States
is anchored in an American harbor,
says the Washington Star, the officers
are sure that they will have to serve
the purpose Of the curiosity seekers.
"The great American public, said one of
Uncle Sans noble seamen the other
day, sis fully aware that it owns its
share of battle ship or a gunboat,
and it intends to have the worth Of its
money when an opportunity offers" 1t
is claimed by the officers that they do
not object to allowing persons who de-
sire to see a man-of-war to wander over
the ship and see what it is like, but
they do object to the curiosity of some
persons who insist in coming into the
wardroom and going through their cab
ms and all their private effects, as if
they owned those articles as well as the
ship. San Diego, CAL, is said to be the
place most abhorred by officers on ac-
count of curiosity seekers. One of
them said that man could not lie down
in his cabin and get the sleep necessary
to stand watch without being reused
out with the cxclamation: "Why, here's
one of 'em. and he's asleep. Come and
look, girls" At other times the crowd
would gather around the skylight over
the wardroom and watch the officers at
meals, making such comments as they
chose on the appearance of the men and
what they were eating, as if they had
been part of a menagerie that had just
been fed. Save us from riding at anchor
ut San Diego" say the officers who have
been there
