the Ohio shore. 1t was then O'Clock in
the afternoon. In less time than it takes
to tell ii the Philo Parsons was trans
formed from a lake steamer into hos
tile privateer. Burley on the main deck
and Beall on the upper made the seizure
in true piratical style. Burley attended
to silencing the master, who happened
to be the captains clerk. The captain
had gone ashore at Michigan port.
The clerk was standing idly in front OF
the Office, when three men suddenly
confronted him with drawn revolvers
and threatened to shoot if he offered re-
sistance. At the same time Burley, fol-
lowed by some Of his fellows, closed in
from another direction, completely hem
ming in the clerk, who was ordered to
get into the cabin quick at the peril Of
his life.
Beall was more adroit, for he had the
man at the wheel to settle with, and
one Of that class is not to be trifled
with, as rule. His occupation gives
him a cool nerve Beall first drew him
into conversation, which he could readi-
ly do, being man Of first class attain
ments. At the proper time, while the
eye OF the helmsman was turned over
the lake, Beall whipped out a revolver
and held 1t where he would look into
Its muzzle on turning 81 take posses

federate states F" was the startling an
nouncement which greeted the pilot.
There was no chance for parley. Beall
commanded the situation and coollySOr-
dered the helmsman TO put the steamer
about and head for Middle Bass island.
Just in front Of the pilot house, seat
ed on steamer chairs, was a party of la
dies and gentlemen, OhiOans, homeward
bound from Niagara. None of the party
detected anything out of the way until
suddenly a man was seen holding a pis-
tol at the pilots head. The man was
not Beall, but sentinel whom the
chief had placed over the pilot. Beall
himself was advancing down the deck
with a revolver in each hand. When
the men in front Of him started as if to
goto the pilots aid, Beall cried "Stand
back Stand back !"
The dramatic attitude of the raider
would have made the scene extremely
ludicrous but for the spirit of one Of the
men addressed, Cincinnatian named
Skinner. Beall assumed that he had to
deal with armed men. twas wartime,
and the scene was on the border. Not
few who dressed in civilian costume in
the north were Union soldiers on fur

calmly, "that we've captured this boat

THE DOLL THAT GREW.
Two children sat IN window low,
Where graceful vines ever loved TO creep

Two children sat IN a window low,
Where graceful vines ever loved to creep,
a cradle swinging. now fast now slow,
Rocking doll to sleep
His chubby face, and his ringlets brown.
Her laughing eyes, and her dimples fair
Asunbeam, lost in the vines, looked down.
Glinting her yellow hair
Isaid: "Good-by, happy ones, good-by;
Fer come back, little girl and boy,
Your laugh will fade to q common sigh,
Mo, king this childish JOY"
Their eyes looked grave for moments
thought,
But could not take in the meaning cold.
She shook her head, till his brown crown
caught
Showers Of curling gold
"When you come back, me will be so tall"
He said, and proud" "Yes, me will" said
She
THE doll will grow, and the cradle-all,
Lovely as they can be-"
And far away in the world Of tide,
In dreams and fancies, that picture fair
The gilys sweet faith and the boys glad PRIDE
Followed me everywhere
Ah, could it stay, could it always be-
But each JOY falls with broken wing;
Then night comes on, and It cannot see,
Moaning, 1t cannot sing.
With years Of winter upon my head,
With years Of summer upon my face,
2 came, by haunting desire led,
Back to the self-same place
The same sun struggled and wandered through,
,And glinted ringlets OF brown and gold:
The doll had grown, and the cradle, too,
LOyelier than Of old
The two sat still in the window low.
Their hearts so full Of love so deep
"a cradle swinging, so soft and slow,
Rocking their child to sleep.

senger steamer, the Island Queen, ar
rived while the Parsons was unloading,
and the raiders Immediately seized her,
bringing her people on board the Par.
sons. Among the fresh captives were 80
unarmed Union soldiers. After dark
the privateer steamed away, leaving all
the prisoners stranded on the island.
The Queen was scuttled and sank in
sight OF her late passengers and crew.
The adventures Of the raiders, al
though not attended with fighting, new
ertheless called for display Of nerve
on the part Of the leader. The worst
was to come. Beall steered the Parsons
direct for the gunboat Michigan and
got within cannon range. There de

signal that all was ready. None came,
and be ran the steamer 80 close TO the

Germany's Celebration.

Annivers ary celebrationsare fire.
quent in Germany, and in the last
year there have been several events
of the kind, giving the national life
much the air of a prolonged fete.
But few Of these anniversaries
could be more fifty made the occa-
sion of celebration than that of
the unifoation Of the German en-
plre twenty-five years ago.
The tremendous advances which
Germany has made in the last
quarter of a century date from the
hour when the states of the Ger
man confederation made formal
agreement to become an empire.
The brilliant diplomacy by which
Blsmark has brought them into
bonds of common interest as against
the other powers of Europe marks
one Of the most important political
works Of the century, just as the
act of unifcation marks one of the
most mOmentous and significant
INFLUENCES brought into the life of
Europe. The Germans would be
strangely forgetful if they did not
observe the anniversary. 1t is the
birthday Of the new Germany and
the starting point for the various
movements which have made the
empire so great factor IN modern
affairs.
Fifty enough, too, the kaiser
made use of the occasion to repeat
his familiar pacific expressions. On
the day devoted to showing the
power of Germany he speaks for
the continuance of peace, just as on
days when military evolutions are
in progress he deprecates efforts
to embroil Europe in war. But his
words at the present time of war
scares and animosities are fitting,
timely and possibly influential.
