The other passengers In the smoker
naturally asked him to tell it, they all
having exhausted their supply of yarns
and anecdotes. So, after little press
ing, the sailor man proceeded.
1T was in the winter of rs that

New York for Valparaiso. II was just
after doubling the cape that the trou-
BILE began; and right here let me say
the cape was bad enough without dou-

board.
about noon 1t fell dead calm, which
made us all look alive for gale. 1t
came on soon enough, and our masts
went by the board, leaving us without
stick of timber. However, we had
plenty of cordwood, and managed to
keep fire going in the galley.
This was lucky, for without the fire
of course we couldn't have cooked the
eggs for breakfast. / forgot to say
that early in the gale the ship laid to.
But the ship was doomed and our
hearts began to sink; so did the ship.
We manned one boat with the women,
and just as the cock crew the crew got
into the other. We had no provisions
save few fire crackers, and after
drifting about for week-and weak
lot we were-our boat struck rock,
the first thing we had struck since our
grub gave out, and we took in supply
of water.
''Then we threw the painter over
board, and the carpenter and the rest
of us pulled the boat ashore. The other
boat capsized, but all hands were saved,
though one man lost both arms by get
ting them caught in a coil of rope. We
were n hard-looking set, not one of us
having seen soap or fresh water since
having left the ship, but we looked
better after having been washed ashore.
"We found that we had landed on an
island. There was n great swell on
shore the first day, and we afterward
saw little cove running inland, but
there were no other signs of life.
"We had nothing to live on but the
country, and fortunately there was
plenty of that, but it soon became mo-
notonous, and we longed for change

HOME OF THE GENII.
Great Hall In China In Which Hundred
of Idols Are Huddled.


of Idols Are Huddled.
Five hundred of the Gods of China
are collected in the hall of the house
of the Genii at Canton. If you were to
ask the most learned and devout
Chinese which is the greatest of these
divinities, or to name few of them
that are superior to the others in posi-.
ton and potency, he would probably
be deeply puzzled. There is, in fact,
utter confusion in the spirit world of
the Chinese. Such a mixing up of au-
thority and attributes among human
beings would result in chaotic and
hopeless condition of affairs. Even
when the great dieties that stand for
the three religions are brought into
juxtaposition, sometimes one occupies
the center, the post of honor, and
sometimes another. To-day it may be
Confucius, tomorrow Buddha, and the
next day Laotze.
So in this great house of the Genii at
Canton the images of the gods are hud-
died helter-skelter together, the ar
rangement frequently changing, ac-
cording to the within or caprice of the
why there should be any change atall.
Some of these images represent the
spirits of the great religious teachers,
or of the emperors, who are always
deified whether they were good or bad
in the flesh; others may represent
merely the hedgehog, the fox, the
weasel, the snake or the rat, all of
which are supposed to exercise an i'm
portant influence upon human affairs.
They are dubbed ''his excellency" on
the printed placards which distin-
guish one from another, and the most
learned scholars are not ashamed, on
the days set apart for the worship of
these lowly spirits, to be seen at their
genuflexions before the images.
Good and evil spirits in Siis house of
the Genii have equal plac, and equal
reverence. Why should not the wicked
spirits be humbly entreated. IL their
evil passions may thus be Modified and
they induced to visit the misfortunes
they command upon some less reverent
person? 1t is queer tumble Of the
three potent creeds that have firm
foothold in China. 1t is strange con-
fusion of such multiplicity Of gods as
is seen nowhere else in the world; and
the reason Of IL seems to be that the
great mass of Chinese are willing to
blend in their faith and practice all
the religions that have been stamped
in their own land with the zeal of an
tiquity. BY seeming at least to re-
spect all, they hope to win blessings in
this world and the next; and not even
the lofty teachings of Confucius and
Buddha release them from superstitious
fear of the hobgoblins and demons of
Taoism.--N. Y. Sun.

mot dead?" cried Maud, with almost
shrek of agony-in total oblivion of
her engagement.
mo, not dead" replied her fiance,
staring at her curiously, ''but very
much mashed up. They say his sight
is so injured that it is probable that he
will never"
But Maud had burst into wild, hys-
terical sobbing, and it was long before
she recovered even the appearance of
calm. u
All the while Mr.. Higgins sat staring
at her with the hard, IMPLYING express
sion of man who compassionates him
self too much to have any feeling for
others.
"Then it seems that this is the man
you really love?" he said at last, when
the sobbing ceased.
Maud did not answer. Her silence
and her bowed head were eloquent in
themselves.
''Well. and what are you going to
do?" he continued.
Maud did not reply. She did not
know. She did not seem to have suffi-
cient command of her faculties to be
able to evolve plan; she drew long
quivering breath, and wiped her eyes
miserably.
"Of course" he said, roughly, ''you
don't expect that after this our engage
ment is worth a straw"
"No, no, no!'' she cried, eagerly-he
had struck the right chord of her con-
seriousness at last "0f course nUt. I
have behaved very badly know. You
could never forgive me, l am sure-at
least not now-but was thinking that
it is so terrible that he should be alone
wounded, helpless, blind-dependen
on any chance nurse. If 1 could only
go to him"
''Then why in heavens name, girl"
cried Higgins, half wrathfully, half
tenderly, don't You go to him?'
And that was why, as poor Jack Hol-
ford lay moaning on his bad of anguish,
he heard suddenly voice which
sounded in his ears like that of an
angel of light, and as he listened to
her assurance that whatever happened
she was his now, If he would take her,
vitality seemed to revive In him; and
from that moment the case, as the doc
tor said, began to take favorable
turn, and his sight was saved after all.

1urid glow like the reflection of some
vast confiagration and blotted out
the brilliant coloring of the landscape
in dead neutral tint of gray. 1t
would not be dark, however, for
nearly an hour to come.
1T looks as if the Bishops wood
were all on fire." thought girl who
was seated on stile on the border of
Bloxover wood, wide expanse of
copse and woodland stretching across
the sloping hills to the east of the
valley, with almost as broad sweep
as that of the Bishops wood on the
sleeper slopes which walled in the
western horizon. She was slender,
graceful girl, with soft, confiding blue
eyes and n delicate flower-like com
plexion, and with piquant suggestive
ness of expression. She was attired in
a smart covert coat of melton cloth
over salmon and white striped cot
ton skirt-expressive at once of the
presence of autumn and regret for the
summer which was past. On her head
was little sailor hat with salmon
ribbons. Her well-gloved dainty little
hand was toying with light ground
ash walking stick.
She turned toward the man who was
leaning against the stile, quite close
to her, gazing into her face; and with
the very action the soft eyes became
hard, and the pretty mouth set in an
expression that was far from pleasing.
1.-THE fact is, jack she said, with a
laugh that was all bitter, Il am not
worthy of you. don't love you as you
love me. love you just enough to be
miserable without you, but not enough
to be miserable with you. It's all that
wretched money. You see you have

bridegroom came over her which not
even the appearance of a magnificent
diamond ring could remove. There
fore it was decidedly unfortunate that
the happy fiance should have made
overtures to seal the bargain with a
kiss, though there was certainly moth
ing unusual or outrageous In such q
desire under the circumstances.
That, however, Maud felt that she
could not endure. She was terribly
afraid of offending him; but she knew
that IL he kissed her she must scream
and struggle from pure physical re-
pulsion. Another day 1t would be diff
ferent, of course-her nerves would be
more under control; and what was a
kiss, after all? Was she not going to
marry the man?
She put him off-how, she could
never remember-and as she did SO she
marveled that he did not understand.
He grumbled good deal, but did not
persist. The truth was that he did not
understand-that she did not really
love him; that she was marrying him
for his money, and that, but for his
money, she would not have allowed
him to touch even the tips of her
fingers. But he wanted her and he
was prepared to humor her so that
he might obtain her. OF course, when
they were securely married, he would
stand no more airs. But for the pres
ent-well, he knew that girls were
like skittish horses-they would shy
all across the road at anything or moth
ing.
The party broke up the next day,
and, as the engaged couple were both
returning to London, it was inevitable
that they should return together. In
evitable, too, was it that he should kiss
her at parting, and to promise to call
the next day to be introduced to her
mother. She forced herself not to
shudder when he kissed her.
He was most punctual to his word on
the following day, and it must be al
lowed that he played the ardent lover
to perfection. He showed himself the
very pink of politeness and respect to
Mrs. Seymour, who was a little tow
haired woman, with big, doll-lilse blue
eyes and an affected manner.
Mr.. Higgins brought n box of bon
bons and case containing the cele-
brated riviere. twas his view that no
woman could resist the united seduc-
ton of sweets and diamonds. There,
no doubt. he showed some knowledge
of feminine character, but he would
have exercised a wise discretion if he
had not kissed his fiancee on his ar
rival Nor was he altogether wise in
his choice of topics of conversation.
''Do you remember that young Hol-
ford who was staying at Lady Sciva's?"
he observed after awhile.
YES" replied Maud Seymour, very
slowly and deliberately, marveling
why he had introduced name which
it would have been better to avoid.
''Well, it seems that he has had an
accident continued Higgins, quite un-
conscious of any danger.
IAN ACCIDENT" gasped Maud, becom-
ing suddenly as pale as sheet

makes you so comfortable as BACH

"But, my darling" cried Jack, ''sure-
1y an income of eight hundred year
would not be penury, If we lived quiet
ly."
"There, there!' interrupted the girl,
passionately. IF we lived quietlyi
Don't know what that means? And

Before l went to sea-" said q naval
officer. II had q notion that q man
had his one dose of sea-sickness as no
has his one painful initiation into the
mysteries of tobacco, and that after
once getting on his sea legs, he had
those useful members in full posses
sion forever after. I've learned better
since then. In fact, went to sea with
horrible anticipations that were never
realized, and was seasick for the
first time In my life after had been
1t didn't last long, and i returned to
my pipe and tobacco half an hour after
my seizure, to the astonishment Of my
shipmates, for a seasick man usually
has no use for tobacco.
THAT was rather rough cruise in
small ship, and there were days
when only three out of thirteen in the
ward rooms sat down to meals. You
never know when you'll be seized with
seasickness, and l suppose n man
twenty-five years in the service may
have the thing for the first time. Men
have been forced to resign by reason
of continued seasickness, but men re-
main year after year in the service
and are seasick much of the time when
the ship is under way. Others are sea-
sick in every storm, and still others
when their own physical condition is
peculiar. There is this popularity
about seasickness, suspect that 1t IL
seldom so bad as to disable one from
doing what must be done. At any
rate, this is true on board man-of-
war. The seasick navigator watches
his compass; the seasick watch officer
stands his watch; the seasick captain
attends to business. The sickness may
be so bad that man eats nothing for
forty-eight hours, but he manages
somehow to keep about, and think l
have never seen n man actually give
up and go to bed when there was any
thing to be done.
"Old sail ors are sometimes seasicls,
though seldom; but they never fail to
respond to the boatswain's call on that
account. The sailor that is constantly
seasiclS realizes that he has missed his
calling, and does not ship for second
cruise. OF course apprentices, stewards,
clerks and the like are ut first sick ut
the slightest motion, but, as everybody
else, they stand chance of getting
hardened to the thing. and in ordinary
weather the number of seasick persons
on board man-of-war is small.
Certain ships are famous and trying
to weak stomachs. The Yorktown is
one of them, and some of the small
ships are worse. The big are usually
not SO bad. There are men that stand
the roll first rate, but can not stand
the pitch, while others stand either
alone, but can not stand the combine
ton of the tw9 1t is rather amusing
to watch the VARIOUS malicious devices
of the sea to catch her victims with
one sort of motion when they decline
to be disturbed by another, and it's
equally amusing to see new man try
ing to find remedy for seasickness.
It's my belief that there is no remedy"

Just over the brow OF the hill Il stood.
The old red farmhouse OF wood and brick;
The woodshed filled with winters wood;
The barn close down by the meadow creek;
The maple-orchard. too, somehow
Looked more inviting than II does now,
When the wind comes skurrying down
Ker-whiz
Over the brow OF the hill.
The creek want pretty. to speak aboat,
But the creek, hshpole, and one small boy
At the end OF the line Hopping trout
Was combination to give one Joy;
But joys were joys In those old days.
When boys were boys with boyish ways;
When the wind came skurrying down
Ker-whizi
Over the brow of the hill
But now, some way when the year grows late,
And the cornfeld is stubbled and brown;
When crealing comes to the garden gate.
And the heads Of the golden-rod bend down
1t don't seem just as II used to do,
When the heart was quick and life was new
And the wind came skurrying down
Ker-whizi
Over the brow of the hill
But one know, with a freckled face,
tattered hat and tousled hair:
A boy with an awkward sort of grace,
Who never dreams OF years or care;
Who never dreams OF the world that lies
Beyond the west where the daylight dies,
As the wind comes skurrying down
Ker-whizi
Over the brow of the hill
But the old gray hill and the house OF red,
Are just as grand TO this lad know.
AS they we're to me ere fancy fled,
Back In the dreamy years ago.
Butt want so particular then as now,
And didn't mind so much somehow,
When the wind came skurrying down
