1t was the second dog watch; the
hour was about $50; the ships yards
were braced well forward, and she
was ripping along to the pressure of
a three-knot breathing of air, coming
hot as steam from out of the glowing
pavilions of the west.
1t was sickeningly close, with the
menace of an electric storm in. a deli
cate winking of violet dumb lightning
away down in the southeast. A fiddle
was going upon the forecast tie head. A
sailor was chanting ditty to the tune.
Most of the ships company were lis
tening, lounging about the cathead
and against the rail, pipes in mouth.
The captain was walking aft, alone,
measuring space of the deck from
abreast of the wheel and something
forward of the mizzen rigging. His
gait was that of a man in funeral
procession stiff solemn, self-con-
scious He had not been on deck

WHAT PUZZLES THE BABY,

don't see why my folks should think
] oughtnt to play with a bottle of ink!
For it is so black, and it rs so wet,
And so nice on my face and my fingers to getl
And it gurgles and trickles so merrily down
On mammals new carpet and on my white
gown
o there's nothing so pretty to play with, Z
think,
AS nice little, black little bottle of ink
] don't see why they think care
For a doll with no eyes nor a wisp of hair!
This old rag doll any blows will stand,
From a kick of my foot to a slap of my hand;
But tell you what just adore
TO bang Miss Ada upon the floor,
To punch her eyes out, to pull her curls,
TO swing her around till her poor head whirls!
Bah! they must be bright to think care
For an old rag doll with no eyes nor hairl
] don't see how they think know
How dog should bark and a cock should
crow
How to NEW like cat, how to moo like a COW,
How to dance jig, how to make a bow;
How papa sneezes, how grandpa walks,
How Bobby whistles, how Aunt Sue talks.
o, am so tired with the changes they call,
That don't think know anything at all.
j don't see why baby should be
So petted and coddled and bothered, like me.
II want to laugh they make me cry;
If want to play must "go by-by;"
And they think I'm horrid if don't do
Exactly as everyone wants me to.
They kiss me and toss me and roll me about
Till don't see why | am not worn out!
And if my life always must be so forlorn,
/ don't see why ever was born!

every nook and Granny of her from
the forepeak to the lazaret, diligently
seeking likewise for any signs of
purpose. The villain, whoever he was,
must certainly be one of the ships
company.
For my part, suspected the steward,
and so did Shirley, the carpenter;
Matthews did not know what to think.
The captain stalked apart, gloomy
and silent.
That evening in the first dog-watch
was in my cabin smoking pipe,
for protecting our lives by stationing
watch day ard night aft, and won
dering if Capt. Jortin would see his
way to some arrangement of this sort,
when the steward knocked on my
cabin door and walked in. The fellow
addressed me civilly and with an air of
reluctance and astonishment.
He said Capt. Jortin had just given
him instructions to lock me up in my
cabin. where was to consider myself
under arrest, on suspicion of attempts
ting to scuttle the ship. My meals
would be served regularly. I'm sor-
ry, SIR" added the fellow, ''to have to
do this duty"
So saying, he closed and locked the
door, and l heard him withdraw the
key. 1 think it was about $50 when
the steward unlocked the door and en-
tered with tray of food, some co>d
water and few gills of rum in a pan
nikin. He seemed very shy in his man
ner, and was for making haste. l babe

to Valparaiso with valuable general
cargo. The captain was a man named
Jonas Jortin. |, who went in her as
chief mate, am named William
Fletcher.
We carried no second officer Often
it happened in those days that even
big ships sailed with what is termed
an ''only mate" who was supposed to
comprise in himself all that was to be
expected in the shape of duty and
knowledge from a first and second
officer.
As l, however, had no certificate as
''only mate" l signed as chief, and
the bontswain, man named Benjami
Matthews, took the working part of
the second mate under me; that is, he
relieved me when my watch was up,
walked the decks and trimmed sail at
his discretion. But he took no part in
the navigation of the ship; indeed, l
doubt if he knew what a seXtant was,
and | am not sure that he could read
or write.
Capt. Jortin was a tall, longfaced
man, with SO remarkable a fall of chin
that his mouth seemed to be placed
almost exactly in the middle of his
face. His skin was yellow; he had
followed the sea for many years, but
the flesh of his cheeks reflected moth
ing of the glow and bronze of sun and
weather. His eyes were of a dead
black, like an East Indians, without
animation in their glance and slow in
their motions.
All went well with us till we had
gone clear of the northeast trade wind
and struck the "humbugging" paral-
lels, as they are called, where you get

HOW TO EAT.
Some Good Advice In Matter of Great
Importance.


Importance.
The vast majority of people are abso-
lutely wrong on the sub ect of feeding;
they think that rich and luxurious peo-
pie, feeding on the richest and most
luxurious foods, are the most fortunate
and healthy people. l assure you it is
lust the reverse. | am the director of
an insurance company, and am obliged
often to form an estimate of the com
mercial value of life; if, then, two per-
sons of the same age and constitutional
build come for calculation as to the
monetary value of their future lives,
and if one be rich and luxurious, and
the other be competent and frugal,
frugal even to abstemiousness, / would
value the life of the frugal person as 20
per cent. at least better than that of
the rich and luxurious person.
Dives dies in plenty, Lazarus in pow
erty. Do not die like Lazarus if you
can help it, and do not die like Dives if
you have the opportunity, but find the
happy condition, easy enough to find
if you determine to learn how on least
food you can do the most and best
work Never eat until you are sati-
ated never cat in the day one heavy
meal but divide your food into three
light meals, equally distributed as to
time and quantity; eat slowly, take
small moutAfuls; masticate, o. chew,

your fingers as little as possible; do not

him tell the captain l was an innocent
man, and begged for an interview.
He promised to deliver my message.
And l will ask YOU" said l, ito re-
member should they sound the well
and find the ship taking in water,
that am locked up here and help
less"
He said, SAY, ay, SIR" and left the
cabin, turning and withdrawing the
key as before.
On the evening of the third day of
my Imprisonment l was startled out of
a nap by disturbance in the cuddy
outside. / heard tramp of feet and
the growing sound of seamens
voices. l thought mutiny had hap
pened, and listened with my heart
beating hard in my ears. Presently mr.,
door was struck upon and the handle
violently tried. Then the voice of
Matthews bawled for the steward to
bring the key. In few minutes the
door was flung open.
Matthews stood in the doorway; at
least two-thirds of the ships company
were massed round about him.
Come out, sir" said the boatswain;
we've discovered who's been trying
to sink the ship"
"Who?"
LAS live to tell yer, it's the captain
himself!'' cried Matthews, bringing
his right fist into the palm of his left
hand with mighty report
IIa1f l-af fh;p ha
steward had observed the captain
come out of his berth and enter the
steerage There was some thing
strange in his walk and aspect. The
| flash of the sunset was upon the sky
light; the steward saw very plainly.
The captain concealed something
that resembled large parcel under
the breast of his coat. The steward
resolved to follow him, saw him go
! into the cabin where the auger holes
had been bored, and by the very faint
| light in that in terror observed him pro-
| duce an auger from under his coat and
apply the tool to the plugged orifices.
| The extraordinary part was that the
motions of the captain were those of
an automatum.
To end this singular experience:
The crew insisted upon my taking
command, and practically forced me
to navigate the vessel to Buenos
Ayres They would not suffer me to
free the captain, who they feared
would serve them some diabolical
trick if gave him his liberty. AS for
| him, he solemnly declared over and
over again to me that he knew not
what he had done, and that he had q
trick of walking in his sleep.
On the arrival of the ship went to
the British consul with my report, and
he thought proper to take charge of
| Capt. Jortin with a view of sending
him to England in British man-of-
war that was then lying at Buenos
Ayres. The consul shook his head
when talked of sleep-walking. He
said:
"He must have brought the auger
aboard with him; it formed no part of
the carpenters tool chest. Next, the
ship was scuttled in daylight. l can
not, somehow. reconcile somnambulism
with sunshine"
1t was to remain a mystery, how
ever, to the end. l was detained at
Buenos Ayres by number of our men
running away, and before the ship
sailed the news came aboard that
Capt. Jortin had been found dead in
his bed. The doctors found that he
had died from apoplexy.
Possibly madness was the true solu-
ton, though it does not quite explain,
to my satisfaction, why it was that he
went to sea with an auger in his cabin.

Indiana Lovers Married After Thirty.
Two Years of Waiting.

Indiana Lovers Married After Thirty
Two Years of Waiting.
From the Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean.
A marriage which was celebrated recently
near Logansport, Ind. develops story of
romance which is unusually Interesting.
In 1864 William Franklin. lad Of nine
teen, fell in love with Mary Knight, a neigh
Dor girl year his junior At the time the
fathers Of both the young people were away
in the army, and their mothers exacted a
promise that they would not marry until
their fathers should return. Time went on
and the war closed. Neither Of the fatle RS
ever returned. They were left ON the battle
fields Of the south with many thousands Of
their brave comrades. In the meantime the
mother of Miss knight died, and the girl was
now alone In the world. Their marriage was
again proposed. but Frankum's mother OBJ
jected, and rather than incur the i'll will of
Mrs. Franklin and possibly be disinherited,
the young people effected compromise.
They agreed to postpone the ceremony dur
ing the life of Mrs. Franklin, but the girl
was to make her home with the Frankums.
Year after year went on, and the old lady S
lease on life did not seem to draw any hear
er to a close. Frequently during chat time
the young people, now growing old them
selves, sought the consent of the old lady
to their marriage but she remained inexora-
BILE. The young couple had grown to leok
upon it as religious duty to fulfill their
promise to the old lady, and she chung with
childish tenacity to her first objection TO
their marriage.
For thirty-two years after the first promise
had been exacted and after the couple had
become engaged did the old lady remain
with them. and for thrty-two Yeas was the
wedding postponed. Mrs. Franklin died
few weeks ago, and on Sunday morning
William Franklin and Mary Knight, both
now past middle life. were united in mar
riage. Their only reward for their long
waiting Is their own consciousness of hay-
able farm left them by Mrs Franklin.

ROMEO AND JULIET AGAIN.
A MOntaEu-Capulet Love Tragedy II
Real Life In Austria


Vienna Letter to London Daily News.
An extraordinary love tragedy, recalling
the story of Romeo and Juliet, is reported
from Altfoldt, Irma. Some time ago the
daughter of highly respected family made
the acquaintance Of an emp!oye Of the local
administration, whose uncle is one of the
princes Of the Hungarian Church. The two
fell de ply in love, and often met by stealth,
as the young mars parents could not for
get lawsuit they had had with the girls
family, and which was decided against
them. The girls father Who was once a
millionaire. but whom speculation had re-
duced. tried to persuade his daughter &c
marry a rich landowner who was anxious
to make her his wife. The young man sue
ceeded, however, in getting a dispensation
through his clerical uncle, and a secret
marriage was performed.
A week ago the girls parents again made
a violent scene to induce her to marry the
land owner She took their words SO
much to heart that she took a large dose
of opium, and next morning was found un.
conscious in her bed. The young husband
hearing the news. ran to the house. and In
the general confusion entered her room.
Seeing her pale and motionless. and believ-
irg her to be dead, he blew his brains GU:
with a revolver he had brought with him
The report woke the young woman. whom
the opium had held In q trace. When she
saw her lover lifeless on the ground near
her she took the revolver from his dead
hand and shot herself
