noon. not in her dream, but in reality.
Now where was John? The reader
knows more than Esther did as yet.
John and his three companions stayed
on the island for many long days and
nights, watching for some passing ves-
sci, hunting. fishing, and cheering each
other with words of hope.
The four survivors had need of pa
tience, for more than one vessel bore
down, but they did not see their frantic
signaling, or, If they did needed 1t not.
At last the neckerchief which Esther
had thrown around John Maddock's
neck was foated to the breeze at the
top of a lofty palm tree. vessel
bound for Australia caught sight of it
shortly afterward, and took the four
mariners of the Scraps from their soli-
tary state.
Then followed the voyage onward to
Calcutta and Johns immediate return
on board the first packet leaving for
England.
With this brief interlude, we can re-
sumo our place by Esther's side upon
the quay at Plymouth. She dreaded
being followed, but none had put in an
appearance from Bideford as yet The
western sea was all afiame with the
glory of the setting sun when a ship
sailed in the cove. 1t was strangely
familiar to her Nay. it was the vessel

Certainly John Maddox and Esther
Wooding fully sustained their native
countrys reputation. Sweethearts they
had ever been since the days when they
went, hand in hand, to the white stone
schoolhouse on the hill above Bide-
ford. And now John was first mate of
an Indian ship, and he and Esther had
met to bid farewell ere he sailed away
on his long, perilous voyage.
1t was on the Easter eve of 1882.
Springs sweet breath filled all that
southern cline; and as the lovers nes-
tied in one last, passionate embrace,
Esther felt as she had never felt before
"a strange reluctance to let her af-
fianced one go.
II know you will come back again,
John, but do you know 1 have an OPP

Easter Morning.

With what joyous anticipation the
ringing of the bells on Easter morning
floods the mind! 1t is summons to
celebrate the passage of the gloomy
period of winter and cold, during which
the earth has slept and all nature mas
stagnatcd, buried under mantle of
snow and ice. The warmth of the sun
has released the brooks and filled the
air with a golden mist and the brood
ing spirit of new creation hoVers over
the land. The period is symbolical of
the resurrection of all bright and glor-
ious things, and the season appropri-
nte for the celebration of the greatest
event in the history of Christendom,
| the resurrection of Christ.
On this day all thoughts of young and
old are turned toward the future. 1t
| is a day consecrated to hope, ana II is
a Christian duty to exert all our
| strength to throw off the depressing
influences of the past and take courage
and resolution in the blessed promises
of the future. In the beautiful land
which we have inherited doubt and dis
coura cement have no place. Every in
fiuence waited by the great agencies
of civilization. the press, the pulpit, ana
the far-reaching lines of transportation
which traverse the country from end to
end Is eXerted for the amelioration and
advancement of the people. The depres-
sion which the past year has witnessed
will soon be forgotten in revival ol
industry and restored confidence. Pro-
phets of evil will find their occupation
less and less in accord with prevailing
conditions

His ship. the Serapis, conveyed Brit

Plymouth the quaint old streets were
filled with crowd gathered to see the
redcoats pass to the beach.
The vessel sailed away amid women's 3

until the highest peak faded against
an .opalescent sky and she disappeared
below the dip of the sea.

muttered John, clutching his spar the
tighter.

leaps upon its prey. r'he Scraps parted
as if severed by knife. she dived
down and the next wave rolled over her
with kissing surge of triumph. A
great seachest floated out; he grasped
it in the nick of time and spun out with
it from the deadly embrasure which
was the grave of the vessel.
How long John Maddox floated that
horrible night he could not remember.
The tide had set toward the shore again,
and he neared a small inlet where the
current ran like millrace. Dead bod
les were strewed along the beach, and
huge, lazy cormorants fioated in the
morning twilight above his head, look
| ing like specter vampires.
He had almost reached the shore when
voice hailed him:
rs it you, sir, Mr.. Maddock?'
"Yes, replied John, feebly, for he was
worn out. who are you?"
| Three of us sailors all, sir We man
aged to scramble on some rigging. Look
out for the sharks. They're having a

with a groan.
They dragged him from the chest,
fainting, with exposure and fatigue,
There stood or rather knelt, the four
solitary survivors of the wreck of the
Scraps.

covered somewhat; "let us thank God

NO QUORUM WAS PRESENT.
Annual Meeting of the Washington
Jockey Club Posi- poued

The meeting OF the stockholders of
the Washington Jockey Club, which was
called last night at Charlie Havenner's
office in the Fendail building, did not
pan out as expected, owing to the fact
OF a quorum not being present. There
We're only five members of the club present
and fifteen are necessary before any busf-
ness can be transacted. 1t was therefore
decided to postpone the meeting until four
weeks from last night.
The meeting was the regular annual
meeting of the stockholders; and while the
question of race meet at the Bennings
track next spring may be brought up,
it is not likely that any action Will he
taken in regard to it until special meet
ing for that purpose is called.
New Officers of the club will also be
elected at the annual meeting. AS S. S.
Howland now controls the majority of
the stock, any plans that he may propose
will probably be carried out.
