and disappointments) we spied a ship,
which we knew to be of the Algerine
sort by the cross set of its lateen sails
making it to look like some great bird
with spread wings on the water-bear-
ing down upon the shore.
We watched the approach of this ship
with feverish joy and expectation, for
though we dared not breathe our hopes
one to another we both thought that
maybe Moll was there. And this was
not impossible. For, supposing Judith
was married happily, she would refuse
to leave her husband, and her mother,
having lived so long in that country,
might not care to leave it now and quit
her daughter, so might they refuse their
ransom and Mol be sent back to us.
And besides this reasoning we had that
clinging belief of the unfortunate that
some unforeseen accident might turn to
our advantage and overthrow our fears.
The Algerine came nearer and nearer
until at length we could make out GER
tain figures moving upon the deck; then
Dawson, laying a trembling hand on
my sleeve, asked if I did not think
twas a woman standing in the fore
part, but I couldn't truly answer yes,
which vexed him.
But, indeed, when the galley was
close enough to drop anchor, being at
some distance from the shore because of
the shoals, could not distinguish any
woman, and my heart sank, for l knew
well that if Mol We're there she, seeing
us, would have given us some signal of
waving handkerchief or the like. As
soon as the anchor was cast boat was
being lowered, and being manned drew
in toward us; then truly we perceived
bent figure sitting idle in the stern,
but even Dawson dared not venture to
think it might be MolL
The boat running on a shallow, a
couple of Moors stepped into the water,
and lifting the figure in their arms car
ried it ashore to where we stood. And
now we perceived twas q woman muf-
fled up in the Moorish fashion, a little,
wizened old creature, who, casting back
her head clothes, showed us q wrinkled
face, very pale and worn with care and
age Regarding us, she says in plain
English:
You are my countrymen. Is one of
you named Dawson?"
My name is Dawson" says Jack.
She takes his hand in hers, and hold
ing it in hers looks in his face with
great pity, and then at last, as if loath
to tell the news she sees he fears to
hear, she says:
81 am Anne Goodwin. -
What need of more to let Us know
that Moil had paid her ransom -

you sadly enough, with no Christian to
speak to out there. But tits not of our
selves we must think now. Some one
must be here to be father to my Moll
when she returns, and I'll trust Don
Sanchez no farther than can see him,
for all his wisdom. So, as you love the
dear girl, you will stay here, Kit, to be
her watch and ward, and as you love
me you will spare me any further dis
cussion on this head. For I am re-
solved.
would say nothing then to contrary
him, but my Judgment and feeling both
revolted against his decision. For,
thinks l, if one Christian is worth but
a groat to the Turk, two must be worth
eightpence; therefore we together stand
a better chance of buying Moll's free
dom than either singly. And, for my
own happiness, l would easier be a
slave in Barbary with Jack than free
elsewhere and friendless. Nowhere can
a man be free from toll and pain of
some sort or another, and there is no
such solace in the world for ones dis
comforts as the company of true man.
But Twas not regardless of Moll's
welfare when she returned neither. For
1 argued with myself that Mr.. Goodwin
had but to know of her condition to find
means of coming hither for her succor.
So the next time met Don Sanchez l
took him aside and told him of my con-
cern, asking him the speediest manner
of sending letter to England (that l
had iuclosed N mine to the don having
missed him through his leaving Toledo
before it arrived).
''There is no occasion to write, says
he. For the moment l learned your
history from Sidi l sent a letter appris
ing him of his wife's innocence in this
business and the noble reparation she
had made for the fault of others; also
/ took the liberty to inclose a sum of
money to meet his requirements, and
I'll answer for it he is now on his way
hither For no man living could be dull
to the charms of his wife or bear resent
ment to her for an act that was prompt
ed by love rather than avarice and with
no calculation on her part. "
This cheered me considerably and
did somewhat return my faith in Don
Sanchez, who certainly was the most
extraordinary gentlemanly rascal that
ever lived.
Day after day Dawson and I went
down to the sea, and ON the fifth day of
our watching (after many false hopes

conducted hither within the space of
three weeks. "
"Senor," answers she, 81 thank Sid
ben Ahmed very deeply, and you also, "
adds she, overcoming her compunctions,
"for this offer. But unhappily cannot
hope to have this sum of money in so
short a time"

turns he, with a scrape, that in max
ing this proposal l have considered of
this difficulty. My friend has agreed to
take my bond for the payment of this
-um when it shall be convenient to you
, discharge it.
Mrs. Goodwin accepted this arrange
nent with a profound bow, which con-
cealed the establishment it occasioned
her. But she drew long breath, and l
perceived she cast a curious glance at
all three of us, as if she were marveling
at the change that must have taken
place in civilized countries since her
absence, which should account for a
pack of thieves nowadays being so very
unlike what pack Of thieves was in
her young days.

imposition seemed to me the better
grounded, for it was easy to understand
how, yearning for him night and day,
she should at length abandon every scru-
pie and throw herself at his feet, reck-
less of what might follow.
Twas not inconsistent with her i'm
pulsive character, and that more rea-
sonable view of life she had gained by
experience and the long reflections on
her voyage hither. And that which sup
ported my belief still more was that a
feet of four sail Gas learned) had set
forth for England the morning after our
arrival. So now, finding, ON inquiry,
that carrier was to set out for Toledo
that afternoon, I wrote a letter to Don
Sanchez, telling him the circumstances
OF our loss and begging him to let us

know, as speedily as possible, if he had
heard aught of Moll. And in this letter
] inclosed a second addressed to Mr..
Goodwin, having the same purport,
which prayed Don Sanchez to send on
with all expedition, if Moll were not
with him.
And now, having dispatched these
letters, we had nothing to do but to
await a reply, which, at the earliest,
we could not expect to get before the
end of the week, Toledo being a good
so English leagues distant.
We waited in Alicante four days
more, making seven in all from the day
we lost Moll, and then, the suspense
and torment of inactivity becoming in
supportable, we set out again for Elche,
the conviction growing strong upon us,
with reflection, that we had little to
hope from Dor, SANCHEZ.
Well, then, we went about our search
in Elche with all the slyness possible,
prying here and there like a couple of
thieves a-robbing henroost and put
ting cross questions to every simple fell
low we met-the best we could with
our small knowledge of their tongue
but all to no purpose, and SO another
day was wasted. We lay under the
palms that night, and in the morning
began our perquisition afresh, now
hunting up and down the narrow lanes
and alleys of the town, as we had
secured those of Alicante, in vain, un-
til, persuaded of the uselessness of our
quest, we agreed to return to Alicante,
in the hope of finding there letter from
Don Sanchez But mot to leave a single
stone unturned) we settled we would
call once again on Sidi ben Ahmed and
ask if he had any tidings to give us,
but openly feeling we We're no match
for him at subterfuge. So to his house
we went, where we were received very
graciously by the old merchant, who,
chiding us gently for being in the
neighborhood whole day without Civ
ing him call, prayed us to enter his
unworthy parlor, adding that we should
find there friend who would be very
pleased to see us.
AT this my heart bounded to such an
extent that I could utter never a word
(nor could Dawson either), for I expect
ed nothing less than to find this friend
was our dear Mol, and SO, silent and
shaking with feverish anticipation, we
followed him down the tiled passage
and round the inner garden of his house
by the arcade till we reached door
way, and there, lifting aside the heavy
hangings, he babe us enter. We pushed
by him in rude haste, and then stopped
of a sudden, in blank amazement, for,
in place of Moll, whom we fully thought
to find, we discovered only Don San
chez, sitting on some pillows and smok-
ing Moorish chibouk.

suade him from it, so that at first I sus-
pected him of being loath to part with
this petty sum, but herein did him in
justice, for, finding Dawson was by no
means to be turned from his purpose, he
handed him his purse, advising him the
first thing he did ON arriving at Algiers
to present himself to the dey and pur-
chase frman, giving him protection
during his stay in Barbary (Which he
said might be done for a few silver due

Sid he comes to Mrs Goodwin, and says
he:

 The country has got old enough and carriage travel in the countr~ places has increased to such an extent @5 to make the necessity of better roads a,'- parent. Ky a coincidence the dispo- sition to save free labor from the com petition of convict labor has also risen. Many states have laws against convict contracts without means of keeping the felons employed In Illinois, al though the present system he"e seems working in 8 promising way, it is still subject to the protests of the labor unlons.

CHEAP GREENHOUSE.
Just the Thing for Raising a Small Quan-
 tity of Plants.

A correspondent asks: T want to build a small greenhouse or hothouse for the purpose of raising tomato plants, say from 10000 to 15,OOO. Can you give information how to build one to be heated by hue?"
 In order to grow from 10000 to 15,OoO tomato plants for spring planting it will require, where they are inches apart, a house 1Ox15O feet. If grown in 3-inch pots, allowing room for the plants to spread, the house will have to be 19x300 feet, CT two houses 19X15O feet. The former house would have two beds feet inches wide, running the entire length, allowing 3 feet for the walk. The 19-foot houses can be di- Eided as follows: The two outside beds each feet inches wide, and the cen ter beds, each feet wide. This leaves

IN LONDON STREETS.
Public Vehicles and the Way They Are
 Handled.


 As a rule the carelessness of the driver varies somewhat in proportion to the invulnera bility of the vehicle he drives. The driver of the hanson cab, says the London Spectator, though he often outrivals Jehu in the speed and fury of his driving, is always on the alert, and rarely fails to pull up his horse in midcareer and avoid the col lision which threatens him. To travel swiftly, to cut in and out of slower carriages, is the life of the hanson. We engage it for that purpose, and it's driver seldom disappoints us. But the hanson is an extremely vulnerable ve- hicle; even in collision with the four wheeler it will surely fare the worse. Hence it comes about that the driver of a hanson keeps a sharp lookout for obstacles and prefers pulling his horse on his launches to running over the in nocent foot passenger.
 It is curious that, with all their speed, both hansoms and butchers carts-by far the swiftest of the wheeled denizens of our streets, have fewer accidents laid to their account than their slower fellows. The om- nibus driver is also of careful nature He, too, conducts a carriage that can not go into action with impunity. The omnibus can afford to bully the han som or theubrougham, but it dare not jostle the van of its own size. And as regards foot passengers, the driver has a natural tenderness toward an unpro- tected race who supply him with fares.

CONViCI-MADE ROADS.
Valuable Suggestion Contained in Gov.

Valuable Suggestion Contained in Gov.
 Niorton's Message.
 Gov. Morton's inaugural message con tains among other good suggestions one that is of particularly great iinpor- tance. He merely touches on the sub feet, but the hint might be taken as well by legislatures of other states as by the assembly of New York:
 The subject of good roads is also commended to the attention of the legiSl lure. It is sug- gested that convict labor may ind employment ill this direction, particularly as co2sutu- tional amendment which takes effect two years hence forbids the state from o,nployln@ con- Victs at the state and county prisons Jails and raformatorieS in any industrial art or useful occupation in competition with the worrl or products of the people,
 The attention of other people than the bicyclist and CoXey lately has been directed toward the subject of good roads. This is practically a roadless country. The best of our country wag- on roads would not compare with the worst roads in the remote north of Eng land or in Germany and France. Of course the older countries gained q mo- hle heritage from the building Romans in this respect, whereas on this side of the water the railways came so quickly after the open ing of the country that road-build- ing seemed an idle pursuit.

Woman He Ever Saw.
 The following is an extract from letter, written by a French lady in Sen egal and published in Paris newspa- per, referring to visit to King Behan- zin of Dahomey on board the Segond: ''The king, followed by five wives and four children, of whom one is a hand some boy, then came forward in a silk mantle striped with black and blue and elegantly draped. His head was bare, and he had on his feet sandals held on by crossed bands embroidered in wools of many colors. He smoked large ebony pipe, the bowl and shank of which were circled with silver. His French is limited to bon jour and ami and am the first white woman he ever saw, and the sight of me aston ished hin. He at first gazed at me, then roared with laughter, and, when he had laughed till he was tired, looked around and asked where my husband was. The interpreter having pointed him out, he took him by the shoulder and gave him friendly shake, which was as much as to say: What lucky fellow you are. One of the five wives cooks. She has lost all her teeth. The others stand around the deposed king. The youngest always has in her hand a wooden bowl filled with sawdust. It is hls splttoon. She IS the tavorite. The children are very nice. Behanzin is elderly, about fifty-fve, and has a white head of hair He hardly knows how to walk, because, on account ot his rank, he has always been carried.

 There exist at present several jour nals" that make their appearance but once a year, says writer in Scien- tifc American. Literally, of course, they are not 1ournals-dailies-but an- nuals. They are published within the confines of the north polar circle. The Esquimau Bulletin, for example, is edited near Cape Prince of Wales, on Behring strait.
 Here, in village inhabited by Esqui- maux, the English missionaries have steamer lands at this place, and that but once year, the news that it brings is consigned to a sheet of paper printed with the hektograph. Its size is eight by twelve inches. The paper is very thick, and but one surface is used.
 This Esquimau Bulletin. in a sub head, claims to be the ''only yearly paper" This, however, is an error, for there is an annual sheet published at Godthaab, in Greenland, where small printing office was established in 1862, whence about two hundred and eighty sheets and many Photographic prints have been issued. The journal in ques- tion is entitled Atnagagdlintit, naling- inarmik tusaruminasassumik; that is: Something for reading, accounts Of all sorts of entertaining subjects"
 The language is that of Greenland, a dialect of the Esquimau. There is still another periodical published in Green land, under the name of Kaladlit.
