"Then go. Go faster"
Don't yer 1T me. will pull yer hup
afore the magistryt. I'll show yer

Captain Allistoun made long stride,
and Donkin, turning his back fairly,
ran off little, then stopped and over
his shoulder showed yellow teeth.
Further on, forerigging," urged the
master, pointing with his arm.
"Hare yer gon' to stand by hand see
me bulied," screamed Donkin at the
silent crowd that watched him.
Captain Allistoun walked at him
smartly. He started off again with a
leap, dashed at the forerigging. ram
med the pin into it's hole violently.
Hi will be heven with yer yet" he
screamed at the ship at large and van
shed beyond the foremast.
Captain Allistoun spun round and
walked back aft with composed face,
as though he had already forgotten the
scene. He looked at no one.
"That will do, Mr.. Baker. Send the
watch below" he said quietly. "And
you men try to walk straight for the
future" he added in a calm voice. He
looked pensively for a while at the
backs of the impressed and retreating
crowd. Breakfast, steward" he called
in a tone of relief through the cabin
door.
Ready, SIR" said the steward, ap-
pearing before them as if by magic and
with a stained napkin in his hand.
"Ah! All right Come along, Mr..
Baker-late-with all this nonsense"
nf nccixy q
quetude pervaded the ship. In the
afternoon men went about washing
clothes and hanging them out to dry
in the unprosperous breeze with the
meditative languor of disenchanted
philosophers. Very little was said. The
problem of life seemed too voluminous
for the narrow limits of human speech,
and by common consent it was aban-
doned to the great sea that had from
the beginning EMBODIED it in it's i'm
mense grip; the sea that knew all, and
would in time infallbly unveil to each
the wisdom hidden in all the errors.
And in the confused current of i'm
potent thoughts that set INCREASINGLY
this way and that through bodies of
men, Jimmy bobbed up upon the sur
face, compelling attention, like black
buoy chained to the bottom of muddy
stream. Falsehood triumphed. 1t tri-
umphed through doubt. through stu
pidity, through pity, through senti-
mentalism. We set ourselves to bolster
it up, from compassion, from reckless
ness, from a sense of fun. Jimmy's
steadfastness to his untruthful atti-
tude in the face of the inevitable truth
had the proportions of colossal enig-
ma-a manifestation. grand and in
comprehensive. that at times inspired
a wondering awe, and there, was also

our belts and went on scraping, polish
ing. painting the ship from morning to
night. And soon she looked as though
she had come out of a handbook; but
hunger lived on board Of her. Not dead
starvation, but steady living hunger
that stalked about the decks, slept in
the forecastle; the tormentor of wax
ing moments, the disturber Of dreams.
We were weary, hungry thirsty; We
commenced to believe Sullivan, but with
unshaken fidelity dissembled to Jimmy.
We spoke to him with jocose allusive-
ness, like cheerful accomplices in a
clever plot; but we looked to the west
ward over the rail with mournful eyes
for sign of hope, for a sign of fair
wind even if it's breath should bring
death to our reluctant Jimmy. In vain!
The universe conspired with James
Wait. Light airs from the northward
sprang up again; the sky remained
clear; and round our WEAKNESS the gilt
tering sea- touched by the breeze, basked
voluptuously in the sunshine, as though
it had forgotten our life and trouble.

fooling him thus to the top Of his bent.
The latent egoisni Of tenderness to suf-
fering appeared In the developing anx-
iety not to see him die. His obstinate
non-recuynition or the only cer titud-
whose approach we could watch from
day to day was as disquieting as the
failure of some law Of nature. He
was so utterly wrong about himself
that one could not but suspect that he
had access to some source of superhu-
man knowledge. He Influenced the
moral tone Of our world as though he
had 1t in his power to distribute hon.
ors, treasures, or pain; and he could
give us nothing but his contempt.
It was at that time that Belfast's de-
votion (and also his pugnacity) secur-
ed universal respect. He spent every
moment of his spare time in Jimmys
cabin. He tended him, talked to him;
was as gentle as a woman, as tenderly
gay as an old philanthropist, as senti-
mentally careful Of his charge as a
model slave-owner. But outside he was
irritable, explosive as gunpowder, SON.
bre. suspicious, and never more brutal
than when most sorrowful. With him
it was a tear and a blow; a tear for
Jimmy. blow for anyone who did not
seem to take a scrupulously orthodox
view Of Jimmy's case. We talked about
nothing else. At any time of the day
and often through the night. some man
could be seen sitting on Jimmy's box.
In the evening, between six and eight,
the cabin was crowded, and there was
an interested group at the door. Every
one stared at the negro.
He basked in the warmth of our In
terest. His eyes cleaned ironically.
and in a weak voice he reproached US
with our cowardice. He would say,
If you fellows had stuck out for me
would be now on deck" We hung our
heads. Yes, but IL you think am go
ing to let them put me in irons just to
show you sport Well, no. It ruins my
health, this lying-up, 1t does. You don't
care" We were as abashed as If 1t had
been true. His superb impudence car
ried all before it. We would not have
dared to revolt. We didn't want to,
really. We wanted to keep him alive
till home-to the end Of the voyage.
Sullivan as usual held aloof, appear
ing to scorn the insignificant events of
an ended life. We all knew the old
mans ideas about Jimmy, and nobody
dared to combat them. They were un-
settling, they caused pain; and, what
was worse, they might have been true
for all we knew. Only once did he
condescend to explain them fully, but
the impression was lasting. He said
that Jimmy was the cause of head
winds. Mortally sick men linger till the
first sight of land, and then die; and
Jimmy knew that the land would draw
his life from him. 1t is so in every ship.
Didn't we know it?
We felt uneasy. The common saying.
more days, more dollars" did not give
the usual comfort because the stores
were running short. Much had been
spoiled off the Cape. We were on half
allowance of biscuit. Peas, sugar and
tea had been finished long ago. Salt
meat was giving out. We had plenty
of coffee but very little water to make
1t with. We took up another hole in

"FIaIloo," "Hurrah," "Prithee," and
"Marry."

Among exclamations in common use
"Halloo" and "Hurrah" have curious
origins attributed to them. 1t is said
that the people of Carnwood forest,
Leicestershire, when they desire to hail
a person at a distance called out, not
"halloo" but 'halloup!" This, he i'm
agines. is survival of the times when
one cried to another: IA loup! loup!"
or as we would now say: wolf! Wolff"
"Hurrah!" again, according to one au-
thority is the Slavonic "huraj'-"to
Paradise" which signifies that all SOL
diers who fall fighting valiantly go
straight to heaven. "Prithee' is OBJ
viously corruption Of Il pray thee"
while marry" was originally method
of swearing by the Virgin Mary.

Neat Compliment to a Judge.

This is the way an eminent Boston
lawyer. the late Henry w. Paine. man
aged to tell a judge to his face that he
was wrong and at the same time ad-
minister a direct compliment. Paine
was arguing a law case one day before
Chief Justice Gray, when the latter in
terrupted the course of argument with
the impatient remark: 'Mr. Paine. you
know that is not law" The nature
and manner of the interruption were of
kind to throw even the most self
possessed advocate off his balance. Mr..
Paine, however. without any outward
manifestations of annoyance or embar-
rassment, replied. with simple dignity,
TT was law until your honor spoke"
and proceeded with his argument.

Brignoli's "Just One Minute. "

Brignoli never was known to be ready
to go on the stage to sing his part. He
had to wait one minute or several min

great trouble to managers. Just

beg, and when that was UP he would
plead for another and another, till pa

leaving the Mississippi river, never
%journeyed between Minneapolis or st.
Paul to Milwaukee or Chicago over
the lines of the Wisconsin Central,
for the accommodations over this

are close, thus doing away with vexa-

The Turner School Controversy.

Superintendent Irwin has been cal.
led upon to determine the legality of
the action of a meetings of the voters
Ut Turner school district in tn is
county. At a special meeting, the di-
rectors were authorized to borrow
money for the purpose of building an
addition to the schoolhouse. The no.
tice that'thecalled meeting read: "For
the purpose of discussing the advis-
ability of building an addition to the
schoolhouse, and all business pertain
ing thereto"
The matter was referred to the at
torney-general for determination, and
he holds that a special school meeting
may perform any acts as a corporate
body specified in a notice calling the
meeting.
In this Instance, however, indebted
ness was i%ncurred,an act that must be
considered cOtemporaneous with the
liquidation thereof. Payment cannot
be made for the purpose of building a
schoolhouSe except by special tax can
not be imposed except by vote. The
Turner school meeting might have de-.
termined upon providing for the pay
ment Of Indebtedness incurred by
building, but to raise the revenue
therefor they will have to go through
the formalltY prescribed by statute,o
submitting the matter to a vote Of the
district.
