"but few days ago it was Ralph
instead Of Mr.. Tompkins
And it's Ralph Row., >" she said as
sho gave ne her hand to hold, but
looked away in that coy, Shy way which
we expect to find in u girl, and which
We consider such charE.
"I'll speak TO tho father tomorrow, 4"
l said as soon as dared trust my voice
TO say anything, and as she did not pail
her hand away [ knew that it was all
right between NJ, and folt that joyful
that l wanted TO stand Up aud shout.
As to how people make Lore on land
have no know ledge, but I'm telling
you in my plain. sHilOrlike way how
we mado loyo on shipboard in that bit Of
bay, with mayhap half hundred desper-
ate villains hidden in the bushes not a
stones throw away. There was no VOW
ing that was ready 10 die for her, and
she didn't declare that was the brayest
and noblest man on earth. / know [
loved her with all my heart, and had
she not loved mo sine would not have
placed her future in my keeping. We
just quietly accepted each other for bet
ter or for orse, and if | can t weave
much of romance into it You'll have
to accept 1t without.
We heard nothing whatever of the
mutineers during my watch or up to
midnight. We had been relieved about
half an hour, and the ship was as quiet
as "a graveyard, when the tide began to
come IN. This swung the head of the
bark to the sea and her stern within
about 10 yards Of tho bushes If the
mutineers had plan for that ni~ht, it
would soon unfold itself. The IDEA was
that they would creep down Though
the bushes TO the edge of the water and
quietly swim Off to us, hoping to find
our vigilance relaxed. A dozen strokes
would bring a swimmer alongside.
There were four persons in tho second
watch, as there had been in the first,
and while they kept eyes and cars open
they suddenly discovered three monster
sharks moving lazily around the vessel.
They were of the species known as the
hammer head, and there is no fiercer nor
more disgusting inhabitant of tho sea
unless 1T be the octopus. By and by
the sharks remained stationary, as if on
guard. 1 said the four people were
watching and listening, and yet but for
have happened. Some 10 or 90 of the
mutineers took to the water to board tho
bark over her bows, and whatever noise
they might have made was drowned in
the grating of her chain cable in the
iron hawse hole as she swung to the
tide. But none of them reached her.
The first one had not yet laid hands on
her chains when one of the sharks
seized him, and three seconds later the
other two had selected victims. There
were three fearful shrieks, chorus OF
shouts and great splashing, and all
was over before any one from the cabin
could get on deck. The surviving mu-
tineers stood on the beach and cursed
and hurled showers of stones aboard,
but IA shot or two fired above their heads
dispersed them. Three Of them had met
an awful fate, but no one had any pity
to waste on them. On the contrary, we
earnestly hoped that one of them might
turn out to have been Ben johnson, tho
leader and the most desperate man os
all.

\ BOYS ESSAY on GIRLS.

Girls is CRATE on making believe
She will make belieye'a doll is u
live baby. She will make believe
she is orful sweet on another girl
or fe'ler'if they come to see her.
and when they are gone she will
say. "llorrld.old thing!'
If you do what girl tells you
she says your horrid. l dra,her be
horrld than be soft. If you do
what girl tells you you will do all
SORTS of foolish thugs.
Girls can be good ia school every
day If they feel like IT. | shud
think they would git tired, and
have to do sumthing wonse in

Girls say fellers act orfuH, but
when girl gets a-going it, she acts
offer than any teller burst. They
don't care for nuthing.
T girl wants feler to carry
her books home, she amt satisfied
unless she gifts the same Teller the
other girls want, whether she likes
HIM or not.
Girls is great on having secrets
| mean, telling secrets. They make.
n secret OUT of nothing at all. and
tell it around to all tho girls, orful
quiet, just as if it was sumthing
dredful. believe girls like to
make bieevc they are doing sum

Girls always giis their joggcrfy
lessons better than fellcr; but if
they are going anywhere. they don't
know their way bit and they are
sure to get lost.
If girl don't feel like dong q

If she won't she won't, and she
will git out of. it somehow. That

SHOWED UNDER
Neither School Nor Fire Bonds Were
Approved of by the Citizens

The election to determine whether
bonds should be issued by the city in the
amount of $15O,O00 for the improvement
of the fire department and of $339, 900
for the use of the public schools, was
quiet one and the vote was exceedingly
light. Both bond propositions met with
a decided frost, as will be seen below
In favor of school bonds there were SAL
votes and 1871 against. For fire bonds
there were 1907 votes and 741 against, so
that in neither case two-thirds of the en-
tire vote cast favored the issuance, and
for the present the fire and school de-
partments will have to do the best they
can.

GOES FREE
Frank Phillips, Accused of Murder,
Relieved of the Charge

The case of the people against Frank
Phillips had to be dismissed yesterday
in the superior court on motion of Dis
trict Attorney McComas, who reluctant
ly made the statement that this course
was unavoidable on account of want of
evidence. Phillips was accused of the
murder of an old soldier in a lewd resort
at Santa Monica several months ago.
Mr.. McComas thought from what he had
learned that case of manslaughter
might have lain against the defendant,
provided that a certain woman who
knew all Of the facts could be found, but
this particular female was no more to
be met with than the needle in the pro-
verbal bale of hay. Under such circum-
stances Judge Smith dismissed the in
formation against Phillips.

STOLE THE COW
And Spurious Receipt Did Not Help
the Caterans

tA0 V6tckd1AS
The examination of two youths named
Charley Trinkel and Andrew Frankinl
on the charge of having stolen a cow
from o. c. Leonard, a farmer of Flor
ence, on Nov. "a, was had before Town
ship Justice Young yesterday. The
testimony showed that the animals car
cass was sold to Weaver Bros. butchers
of Sixth and Wall streets, and the hide
to the Los Angeles soap works.
1t was claimed by the defense that
the accused had bought the COW for
$3.50 on the Florence road from a man
who gave them receipt for the money,
but this document, signed c. w. Collins,
Santa Ana, was deemed by the court to
be spurious and the work of Charles
Trinkel. Specimens of this young mans
writing introduced in evidence bear out
this theory Of the prosecution. Both de-
PENDANTS were held in $1,000 bail each on
the charge Of grand larceny.

Tired of Waiting

A horse hitched to a delivery wagon

which had been hitched at the corner

evening at $3.50 and started a little circus
on his own account. After executing a
lively "pas de seul' on the street. he
made a bee-line for a $175 plate glass

disastrous, resulting in the complete de-
struction of the inoffensive window and

An Assignee Objects

G. w. Craner, assignee of A. ]. Easton,
insolvent, yesterday sued ]. D. Griffiths
to have set aside a chattel mortgage
given by the insolvent debtor to the de-
fendant. Easton kept a restaurant at
III South Main street last month and
went into voluntary insolvency. Before
filing his petition, with a view of giving
preference to Griffiths. so alleges the
complaint, Easton mortgaged to him a
lot of glass and crockery ware, and gave
his note to the defendant for s125. The
assignee claims that this transaction
was merely for the purpose of prevent
ing the property from being distributed
pro rata among the other creditors.

CONSTABLE ACCUSED
A. ]. Meyers, Of Santa Monica, May
Lose His Job

Two accusations were filed in Depart
ment one yesterday afternoon by the
people of the state of California ex rel
L. w. Stevens against A. ]. Meyers,
constable in and for Santa Monica
township. The first one alleges that on
December 26, 1885, Stevens filed a COM
plant before Justice T. H. Wells at
Santa Monica, charging one Miguel
Marquis with petty larceny. Plaintiff
claims that Meyers corruptly and wilful-
ly refused to serve the warrant, al
though he could easily have done so.
The second accusation is to the same
purport, the date of the alleged refusal
to act in this case being set as February
4 Of this year. In each case plaintiff asks
that defendant be deprived of his office
and that as informant he have judgment
against him for the sum of $500.

ADOPT AMERICAN SYSTEM.
Baggage Checked Through to Almost
Any Point in Europe.

New York, April 3.-The American
system of checking the baggage of
travellers has been adopted for the ben
eft of American tourists by several
European railroad companies. Here
after all baggage passing through this
city from any point in the United States
may be checked through to almost any
point in Europe.
The traveller who was formerly an
noyed by being compelled to pick his
trunks out of a pile of baggage and
then fee a porter to rescue them for
him may now forget that he has trunks
and find them at his hotel. This revo-
luton has been brought about by a
young man of this city, who, having
considerable experience with a for
warding firm, conceived the idea of
checking baggage through European
countries. He Travelled much during
the winter and has been rewarded by
being recognized by the management
of the principal European railways
The London & Northwestern was the
first railway to act on the suggestion,
and others soon followed.

TENDS TO SOCIALISM.
Perry Belmont Discusses the Recent
Traffic Pool Opinion.

New York, April 3.-The recent decis-
ion of a majority of the United States
supreme court that the law of 1890 COW
cred common carriers, if upheld by
congress, will have far reaching effect
as in that decision it was also main
tanned that the government had the
power to nullify every contract in re-
straint of trade, whether that restraint
be lawful or unlawful
Perry Belmont believes that in this
decision, if Endorsed by the law MAX
ing power of the land the political effect
will be a marked trend toward state
socialism and its twin brother, radical
POpulism. Mr.. Belmont, however. is
hopeful that congress may alter the de-
cisiOn by enacting d law that will dis
tinguish between lawful and ''unlaw-
fur restraints of trade. He said last
night:
Opinions in regard TO the tendency
for good or evil of restraining IegisIa-
ton will probably differ according to
the view taken of the relative dangers
to be feared from unrestrained individ-
ual and industrial liberty on the one
hand, and until restrained state coer-
cion on the other hand.
IF l am to choose between individ-
ualism advocated by Herbert Spencer,
and socialism, greatly prefer the for
mer.
Freedom must be the rule. Govern
ment control must be kept at the mini
mum. Industrial control is next to in
dividual freedom, political freedom, re-
HgiOus freedOm-the one thing we must
have
IF it shall now be seen that organized
private capital is not, by its boards of
directors acting in corporations, capa-
bic of reasonably and safely conducting
interstate railway transportation, aided
by such help in administration as the
energetic interstate commerce commits
sion can give, then socialism will be
heard in an attempt to show that only
organized, political government can do
the work. as it now does in so many
European countries, and as the Popu-
lists insist must be done in the United
States, by government ownership of
