CHASED BIZ 4 REVENUE CUTTER
Anchoria,s Chief Mate Couian,t See the Hudson
or Hear HER whistle.


OF Hear HER whistle.
The revenue cutter Hudson had to do much
scurrying' to let the Customs officers board tho
big feet of steamships, mostly freighters, that
arrived yesterday before they got away from
the neighborhood Of Quarantine. The pilot of
the Hudson was surprised to see the Anchor
line steamship Anchoria, which the boarding
officer hadhot cleared. move out of Quarantine
and head for her pier away up the North River.
The Hudson was a long distance down the bay
from the liner, but the cutters officers thought
that she was visible from the bridge Of the An
choria. The Hudson started after the An
choria, blowing a whistle TO warn her to stop.
Chief Oficer Black had charge of the ship, Capt.
Wilson being below getting his breakfast. The
chief officer says he did not see the cutter, and
expected her to meet him on the way up the bay.
He kept right on. The cutter hove in sight
when the Anchoria had almost reached her
pier. The Customs officers on the Hudson did
not like the job Of chasing, q big ship ten miles or
more, and so expressed themselves. Capt.
Wilson said he did not moan II. and that closed
the incident. The penalty for wilfully avoiding
o revenue cutter In port Is $500, which win not
be paid this time.

We were about stranded, and there
was no use in trying to blink the fact.
The doctor had sent us to Bermuda, and
the last thing he had said to me was
that if my mother couldn't get well
there she could not anywhere. This is
what made it seem so hard, after stay
of three months, when found our mon
ey nearly gone and mother yet weak,
though convalescent. Another six
months we felt, would bring the ines
Unable blessing of renewed health. But
how were we to stay when there seemed
to be nothing to stay ON?
While ccgitating this problem one
sunny day in January strolled into a
secluded vale lying between the high
road from st. Georges to Hamilton and
the southern shore of little islet. Like
30 many of those charming dells in this
cluster of isles and islets, it was filled
with q semitropical vegetation, with or
ange and lemon trees, pomegranates,
bananas and figs. The hill crests around
were covered with o5orous cedars, their
skirts fringed with lantanas in snowy
bloom. and the pocket of earth between
the ridges was as rich and fertile as the
hill slopes were sterile.
!. Vending my way through this bit of
tropical paradise, l came upon a straw
matched shanty, or rather group OF
primitive dwellings of this character,
at the head of little slope running
down to a creGsentic beach OF snowy
sand lying between outcropping coral
lodges. An old man sat in the doorway
of the principal shanty smoking long
stemmed pipe, such pipe as Tennyson
loved to smoke, known i'll the old coup'
try as o "churchwarden. None but a
philosopher or poet-at any rate, q
man of leisure and calm temperament
smokes this sort of pipe, and 1 knew
that he must consequently be one or
the other, and hence safe to assume well
worth the knowing.
And my conjecture proved true, for
ON accepting his hospitable invitation
to enter his humble dwelling I found it
filled with all sorts of natural history
objects, such as shells, stuffed birds and
dried plants. In short, my aged ac-
quaintance was naturalist, and, as
afterward learned, skilled one, well
known all over the islands.
He was nearly so years of age, his
long, snow white hair fell to his shout
ders, and in every feature was an air Of
cheerful benevolence that won my heart
and engaged my attention, so that in
less than half an hour we were convers-

There are three or four things that pay
here in Burmuda. These are potatoes,
onions, arrowroot and Easter lilies.
The first three are too difficult for you
to manage. but the last, it seems to me,
would be easy to cultivate and pleasant
to raise Now, one corner Of that plot is
already planted with Easter bulbs, anG
if you will take the care of them off my

will divide the profits with you into the

Womanlike. jumped at this generous
offer, and, TO make long story short
tended those lilies so ossiduously that
even the fret scason's profits were very
satisfactory. The second seasons were
much more so. aud the third and fourth
found us with surplus Of cash to our
credit and half the little vale planted
with bulls.
Our good old fricrd died the fourth
year Of our stay, hut left us life inter
est in his estate for q small considera-
ton, and we continued in the occupa-
ton which we had found so pleasant,
and which prcmis to be SO profitable.
My mother regained her health and
from choice worked with me in the gar
den, whileI myself had become SO at
tached to the place and 50 cortonted at
my labors that / doubt if anything in
the world could draw me away.

by men The mid6lemen doubtless rob-
bed me at times, the lilies did not al
ways arrive in New York in good con.
dition, and sometimes the bulbs would
be injured by protracted sea voyage.
Again, land cannot be purchased here
by alien Americans, as the Bermudas
constitute military colony, and only
those loyal and subject TO the British
queen can own real estate, but long
leases are easy to obtain, and thus all
danger of forfeiture is obviated.

ton in the reflection that all this love-

ing like old friends. He had lived here
60 years, he told me-ever since he had
run away from an English ship-and
had never left his home for a single
night. His little farm had cost him al
most nothing, his wants were few, and
from the soil he had obtained an easy
though frugal living.
It did not take me long to detect be-
meath his rude exterior one of natures
noblemen, and, warmed by the kindly
CLEAN of his eyes, soon had told him
Of my present trouble. He looked me
over very thoughtfully and finally said
between the whiffs of his pipe: Lady,
the Lord must have sent you to me, be-
cause, Of all the people living in the Ber-
mudas, 1 alone perhaps can help you.
1 haven't much, only my little farm
here and these rude huts, but if you
will accept one of the latter as a tenn
porary dwelling it is yours for as long
as you may wish to stay. AS for food,
if you can put up with my fare of milk
and sweet potatoes, with now and then
bit of meat and all the fish you want,
to be caught in the bay, you are well
come. No, don't thank me" he said as
I tried to express my gratitude. 81 have
been thinking of making some one this
same offer for the privilege of pleasant
company, for I am getting old and have
lived too long alone. Indeed you will
do me favor by accepting my offer"
The very next day we had removed
our belongings to one of the huts, which
promised to serve us as well as if it
were palatial mansion in that favored
land where one may pass the entire day
out of doors. AS the physician had Or
dered my mother to spend all the time
possible in the open air, it mattered lit
tie what kind of rooftree sheltered us
at night. And, SO far as was concerned,
it was Joy to wander in the shade of
those fragrant trees and along the beach,
where shells Of every hue were abundant
and where the crystal waters covered
the gardens of sea plants Seeing that
liked to work about the flower garden
and knowing that he might speak to me
frankly, my aged friend suggested that
make an attempt to wrest livelihood
from the soil.
81 am too DID," he said, Ito embark
in any new adventures; but, If you
want to try it, why there's the garden,
with as rich soil as anywhere, and
here are all the tools and seeds you need.
You seem like strong and sensible
young lady. Nobody need know what
you are doing, as my place is so secluded,
and all the time your mother will be
getting her health while you are gain
ing strength and perhaps making money.
