Mrs. Collins has struck new vein in
literature, opening to the novel reading
world vision of the real life of the Aca-

scarcely known region of the bayous and

Besides her novels she contributes each

PIRACY ON THE HIGH SEAS.
Stirring Tale OF the Sea That Reads Lils
a Romance.

a Romance.
A stirring tale of the sea that reads like
q romance of Stephenson or Pyle comes in
a dispatch from Richard L. Sprague, act
ing United States consul at Gibraltar Civ
ing details Of the looting by pirates in the
Mediterranean of the Dutch brigantine
Anna.
On March 10 the Anna set sail from
Bari, a port in the Adriatic, and on Sun
day, April 20, became becalmed about sew
en- miles from shore, near Alhucemas bay,
in the Riff country. She was manned by
a captain, mate three seamen and a
cook.
About o'clock that afternoon a boat
approached from ashore manned by seven
or eight Moors. They were savage look
ing fellows stripped naked to the waist,
with heads entirely shaved clean of hair,
except long tuft on top. Breechloading
rifles and long knives were their arms.
When within mailing distance, the Moors
called in Spanish to the brigantine to low
er sail, and on being refused commenced
firing on the vessel. AS the boat came
alongside the crew armed themselves with
hatchcts and crowbars, and one of the Riff
fans who attempted to board was struck
down by the mate with blow from a
crowbar. A volley was returned, and the
mate fell
Selling his revolver, the only flrearm on
board, Captain Velvis began to use it on
the pirates, but had fred one shot only
when he was wounded in the hand. Mean
while the wounded mate had proceeded aft,
where he was fired on and feR. Four bull
lets had entered his body. Then the cap
tain was permanently disabled by shot
wound in the stomach.
About this time several other boats put
out from shore, and resistance was out of
the question. Leaping on board, the pi-
rates began their work of plumber. The
ships boat was lowered, and bedding
cooking utensils, compasses, side lights,
spare sails, a portion Of the cargo, all the
provisions except salt meat and many 9TH
er things, even the cabin door, were loaded
into this and the boats of the pirates and
taken to land. Several trips were made,
the boats coming and going the whole aft.
ernoon. To complete the work the pirates
took even the shoes from the feet of the
crew and the clothes from their backs.
When night came, the buccaneers left
the ship, and light breeze springing up
the sailors endeavored to steer for the
Spanish coast, although without compass
or light. They sailed all that night, and
the next day, using an old cotton shirt in
daylight and burning oakum after dark as
signals of Distress but although several
vessels passed within sight no attention
was paid to the distressed brigantine.
AT 1 o'clock the next morning Captain
Velyis died. and after many hardships the
Anna was sighted about p. m. on April
80 by the tug Hercules and lowed into

accepted an invitation the other day to
dine with friend at q club that he assur-

We went to Twenty-ninth street and en-

different in appearance from 1000 other

the servants buttons were marked by a

hardly turned 80 years. He was engaged.
The lady was wealthy, well connected and
moved in the same social circles that he

ter was beyond reproach. Perhaps he was
a little cold in his wooing. l don't know.
He did not know what defeat meant Per-
haps he unconsciously took it for granted
that any woman must find him all sutfi-

even unbccoming, to ply the ordinary low

fetching with the fair sex. AT all events,
the young lady one day gave him to plain

returned his presents-I don't suppose he
had ever written her q love letter, so she
couldn't return any burning literature
and told him to apply elsewhere for a wife.
Considerably stunned, he could only ex-

house at first simply with the idea of liv-

with the fair sex, and after comparing
notes they decided to live together, to pur-

as possible to women, but never on any
provocation to marry. Before long they

IDEA FOR RICH MEN.
Suppose They Buy Abandoned Farms and
Make Game Preserves of Them.

Suppose They Buy Abandoned Farms and
Make Game Preserves of Them.
f. G. Fowler of Moodus, East Haddam
is public bencfactor in way of his own
He bought up q lot Of abandoned farms
and swamp and wood land in the north
part of East Haddam and Cthe larger part)
the south section of Colchester and devoted
it to the purpose Of game preserve. Its
boundaries are a highway on every side
This spring he has had the whole piece,
consisting of 5000 acres, including Pine
swamp in Colchester, all surrounded by a
four strand wire fence. In the domain
Mr.. Fowler means to encourage the devel.
opment of all kinds of game that can be
found in that regiOn-winged, filmed OF
four footed. He has one patch of II acres
sown wholly to buckwheat, and that grain
will not be cut, but will be left to those
that best enjoy, appreciate and need it
the "bobwhites, " or quail of the south,
ern New England section. They perish in
great numbers in hard winters, quite as
much from want of food us from cold, be.
cause in deep snow, with icy crust, the
rutfed grouse and quail alike are put to
desperate straits to get anything to eat.
Mr.. Fowler will see that the quails on that
reservation have habitable winter retreats
brush heaps, etc, and food scattered
about to save them.
The reservation will consist largely OF
swamp land, but that is all right for tho
purpose in view-it will harbor various
kinds of game. Early last month Mr.. Fow-
Ter, while out duck hunting in Pine
swamp, bagged not only seven black ducks,
but shot an otter, a rare animal now in
Connecticut, and first class and very for.
midable fighter when driven to bay.
In the domain there will be q natural
breeding ground for various game, to say
nothing of its certainty of being Gas it is)
a favorite stopping place for migratory
birds-snipe, plover etc. 1t is not Mr..
Fowler's intention to rigidly exclude the
public from all shooting privileges in this
reservation, but he will very properly post
it against tho wholesale destruction
wrought by pot hunters and snarers. From
this breeding ground the game will, if
properly protected, naturally spread all
over that part of Connecticut. Skunks and
foxes, Mr.. Fowler thinks-especially the
first named malodOrous beast-are the
worst enemies the quail and partridge have

The Sweetest Music.

I've heard some pow'ful music that folks
thought mighty sweet,
I've seen a singih woman with flowers piled at
her feet
From the crowd that listened closely to her
voice so awful fine,
But the sweetest music of all to me is the
swish Of fshin line!
You kin set thare in the shadders of the softly
noddin trees
An ketch the mocker's MUSIC as It floats by on
the breeze,
But, my all these are foolish when through the
bright sunshine
You snatch yore pole like fury-hear the
swishin O the linel
Maybe it was a tarrapin, a-foolin with your
hook
An maybe you'll cuss a spell when he sinks
back in the brook,
But then the charmin music that you made
will pay you fine,
Fer THERE'S nothin makes me happy like the
swishin O. my line!
