Captain Trollope was looking darkly
at the island. His face expressed deep
disappointment and perplexity.

Trollope. And the eight men, the Dane
being at the wheel, gathered about their
leader TO listen. probably for the twen-
tieth time, TO proposals which they had
surely long ago got by heart.

on to the rim of the deep like a colored

and the water was cracking and glanc-

westerly wind when they hove the bark
to- the island bearing then about eight
miles distant, scarcely determinable
heap of shadow in the windy dusk.
They furled the mainsail and the main
topgallant sail and left her to lie under
her topsails, the foresail hauled up.
They showed no lights and kept an
eager lookout. 1t was just the sort Of
night when a ship would show sudden

clouds and a sort of fat dusk was upon
the sea.

Street Cleaning In Paris.

It was with especial interest that |
made my first examination Of the streets
of Paris, for | remem bered them as be-
ing i'll excellent condition in 1889 Tex
position year,.
After close and careful examination
/ should say that they are quite as well
swept as our streets, and that there is
nowhere to be found the defective pave
ment, Of which we have so much. In the
matter Of litter, however, / think that
New York is much better cared for, ex-
cept in the more frequented show streets,
and,to certain extent even there there
is more paper scattered, and in many
parts Of the town much less attention
seems TO be paid to it's collection and
removal. On the whole, think we lose
nothing in the comparison. New York
is as clean and at least as tidy as Paris.
The methods of work in the French cap
ital are in many respects different from
what was found in other cities and very
different from the methods here.
In 1859 the cleaning of the streets
was transferred from the prefecture de
police to the prefecture de la Seine, and
it was then placed in tho hands of the
engineering department. The cost at
that time could not be learned, but the
cost in 1872 was s.sos. 900 francs; in
1877 it was 1918, 600; in 1880 IL was
100000. 1t Is now about 5000, 600
francs. Formerly it was the duty OF all
property owners TO clean one-h half OF the
street il this did not exceed six meters
(20 feet). This work 10 now done by the
city and is paid for BY q special tax on
the property, which. for this purpose. IS
divided into three olasses--that occupied
Q) by buildings, (2) by walls or open
grounds, (4) by vacant lots. In no case
is the charge more than the actual cost
to the city. In some cases 1t is materially
less. Property holders must still remove
snow and ice from the sidewalks, 40
cording to specific regulations. -Hsr'

CHAPTER XIV.
OLDocK g PROPOSAL.

About three weeks after the Amor
can captain had visited the Welleslev
that lubberly colonial brig, with he,
SQUAD boats hunched at her motherlv
davits, was rolling most uncomfortable
upon large, pea green swell, whose
lofty folds as they swung in stately
procession seemed to be wrinkled by =
breeze Of their own making. The skv
was hung with soft dark masses Of
storm cloud, broken and departing. The
heavens between were faded green
and here and there upon the horizon
they were painted gray in slanting
patches by falling rain.

ing her round bows out of the heave.
while the brine roared white from her
headboards, then tumbling bodily over
again amid volleys of snaps and jerking
and straining noises.
This had been going on for some
hours. 1t was impossible to walk the
deck. The seajnen staggered and rushed
if they let go. Presently the command.
er, tightly gripping the hand rail, rose
with wary eye to his neck and limbs
through the little companion hatch and
stood in it while he looked about him.
Mr.. Hardy was hanging by the main
royal hackstay, almost abreast of the
red faced officer. The wheel leaped like
something living and vicious in the
strong grasp Of the helmsman, but even
as the commander rose the brasswork
ornamentation upon the pinnacle box
was smitten into several stars of glory
by watery beam of the sun. Com.
mander Boldock looked up to see what
made that light, as though surprised;
then, watching his chance, came out of
the hatch and drove over to the side Of
Mr.. Hardy, clutching at the stay with
fingers like fshhOOka

ing naked aloft. Denuded of the beauty
of her wings, her fore topmast showing
like a stump, she looked strangely as
she lay at the blight of her cable, rolling
monotonously on the swell of the sea.
Trollope watched the men furling the
mainsail and desperately feared them.
He knew that multitude Of counsels
would lead to failure. The mighty rob-
berry, the trouble, the anxieties, the
perils, the murder, would end in moth
ing. The gold would so to the bottom,
or it would be retaken, or it would be
left to lie worthless as tho soil it rested
on i'll the island yonder. Why didn't
the men come into his scheme? It would
be their only chance after giving the
briSantine all time in reason.
He eyed the fellows as they swung
on the footropes with murderer's
malice.
1t was 3 O'Clock in the afternoon be-

elimination with the members Of the

passed the appropriation 1t was on the
understanding that all the companies
would be taken to Philadelphia to par

bers of company's of this city are the sorest
lot OF men in The State.
They claim they have been doing duty
for years and that they were debarred be.
cause of their religion. They are all or
nearly all Catholics and feel 1t slight
that the company composed of Jr. o. U,

taken. This can have no leaning as tho
other companies down State were left at

Company B did not take the dink dink
worth cent, but simply paid their 50 so
for each member and went to Philadel-
phia. Ii the other companies were not fit
to march in line, then they have no right
to receive an appropriation from the State.
They are all members of the National
Guard, and II called out tomorrow to do
duty they could refuse because of the dis.
elimination.
The matter will be brought up in the

Strong Sentiment That rlr. Mulqueen's

The public continues to discuss the find.
ing of the grand jury in the case Of
Michael Mulqueen, who was charged with
the murder Of Bernard Il. Dorsey. The
action on the part of the grand jury seems
to have been the result Of controversy
over the cause of the young mans death.
In this controversy the physicians who at
tended Dorsey and those who held the
post-mortem examination figure principal
ly. 1t Is said that some act ON the part of
the persons other than Mulqu zen were re-
sponsible for the young mans death, but
this has aroused the ire Of the surgical

claim they had no hearing before the
grand jury and that therefore grave in
Justice has been done them.

Ben Wade on Davis,

When Ben Wade of Ohio was the
presiding officer Of tho senate, he used
occasionally to call some senator to take
the chair and relieve himself by walk
ing up and down in the lobby which
runs back Of the senate chamber. Once
while thus walking he was overtakon
by certain carpetbag senator from one
Of the southern states, who occupied the
identical chair that jefferson Davis had
used while member of the senate.
Walking along by the side of Wade, he
rubbed his back YEARLY and said:
"Wade, these senate chairs are the most
uncomfortable things | ever saw. My
back is positively blistered from sitting
i'll mine. Wade looked at him for q
moment, and, as he turned away, NUT
tered, "Davis left enough brains in the
seat Of that chair to blister the backs Of
