Ten Pins.

Ten Pins.
For a few days Potter has been going
about in deplorable state of physical
discomfort. To go up and downstairs
is literal crucifxion of the flesh. Com
ing down his right leg strikes each
stair with the pronounced thump OF
wooden leg. Going up it has to be
dragged like lifeless member. His
right arm is that of man who has been
stretched upon the rack. To roll over
in bed is to suffer all kinds of agony,
and to dress is self-infiicted pain such
as the martyrs endured in defense of
their faith. OF course, his temper is
sympathetically afflicted, and the only
possible way of getting along pleasant
ly with him is to leave him alone.

went to a ship owner who was an old
friend of my husbands, and told him
just how things stood. He thought
that under the circumstances couldn't
do better than dress up as a man and go
10 sea as captain. He found me ship,
and I've been skipper ever since. And
now no one is going to take my boy
away from me-
"'That they ain't,' said good-hearted
Mr.. Bradley, who then kissed the boy
and shook hands with us all. In five
minutes he and his men were on their
way to the big clipper, and our skipper,
with her arm around the boy, was lean
ing against the taffrail waving her hand
TO them.
"Now l understand the captains lik-
ing for Mr.. Wood, our mate. She was
in love with him, and of course she was
little jealous of me. The whole mys-
terry about Capt. Harris was accounted
for.
"One evening some weeks afterward,
when we were in the Indian ocean,
glanced through the after cabin door
and what do you think saw? There sat
our mate, Mr.. Wood, by the side of our
skipper. She had her beard of, and
noticed then that she had let her hair
grow. In Mr.. Woods lap sat the little
boy. She was looking tenderly at Mr.
Wood, and he was talking to the boy a

the second mate and myself, he told us
that the little boy, who was still in the
after cabin with Capt. Harris, had been
shipwrecked twice before. The little
fellow was the son of a sea captain, and
had been going to sea with his father
and mother ever since he was born.
About four years before. when the ship
on which this seagoing family were,
was nearing the English channel, a
heavy fog set in. The second mate was
in charge of the deck, and the captain,
with his wife and boy and the mate,
were at dinner. The captain'swife hap
pened to think of something in the gal
lev that she wanted, and she went for
ward for it. Just then big steamer
loomed up suddenly in the fog, and,
without any warning, struck the ship
aft and smashed in the cabin. The poor
captain was crushed to death, but the
mate and the little boy were only i'm
prisoned by the broken timbers. The
mate cried out number of times, but
received no answer. He could hear oc-
casional whistles from the steamer for
about half an hour. Finally he made
struggle and succeeded in tearing away
enough broken timber TO liberate him
self. He took the little boy with him.
and going ON the deck found that the
wreck was sinking. The vessel had
