had gone a mile I heard their voices in
little gully, and crept UP close.
You told a queer story the other
night when you were drunk, Williams"
the mate was saying, about a girl
named Mary Blake, in Nantucket. Was
it true?"
why, yes, as far as this: made
her think l was a single man, and
made her love me, and then ran away
from her.
Didn't you know or didn't you hear
that she had a lOver-a man that would
have died for her if she asked him?"
1T seems to me, now | come to think
Of it, that I did hear something about
tar that had a fancy for her. But
what did 1 care for that? 1 wanted
my fun
Did you never hear what came Of
it, then?''
mo. I never bothered myself about
it much. I've wondered sometimes if
the tarry jacket came home and mar
ried her.
"In tell you the end" Kissed Tom.
when she got your cruel letter she
dropped and faded, and when the man
who loved her truly came home from
a cruise she was very near the grave.
Then, one day, when the burden of her
life grew too much for her to bear,
she told him of your deceit, and de-
scribed you, and then died, with her
head upon his BOSOM. Then he took
a vow that if you and he ever met he'd
kill you
I'm glad we never met" cried Tom
Pm the man that loved her and took
that vow, and now I mean to keep my
word. Down upon your knees and pray
for you have not five minutes to live"
Then l saw q spectacle such as hope
never to see again, as Tom slowly drew
q revolver and waited The harpOoner
fell on his knees, weeping and begging
for his life, but that stern face never
changed. The self-appointed judge and
eXecutioner did not know the name
of mercy. The wretch crawled upon
the ground and buried his face in the
snow at Toms feet, and 1 couldn't
stand it, and stepped out in view.
Don't come nearer, Jack Ratlin, y
cried ON, cor, as th1%e is a God above,
I'll give you shot. This man is doomed
and he shall die"
"Tom,' I said, "before you fire, think
moment. You say you loved Mary
BIake?"
You'll never know how much, Jack
words cannot tell"
'FThen listen TO me. They say the
good and pure, looking down from their
bright homes above, are witnesses of
the actions of those they loved on
earth. If your dead love beholds you
now, do you think it would make her
happy to see you stain your hands with
the blood of this base wretch? Can
you hope to join her up yonder?'
He stared at me a moment and then,
raising his hand to heaven, he cried:
Mary, I do what you would have
done. See! L forgive your murderer,
and leave his punishment to God. Go
back, Williams; from this moment you
are safe from my vengeance"
The man skunk away, shaking like
leaf, and deserted at the first port we
entered. And Tom Dalton, with a new
light on his face, the hope of meeting
her he loved in a better world than
tits, did his duty manfully until his
death, three years after in a battle
with a giant whale. He has entered
into his rest. Whether Gus Williams
lives or died, 1 do not know, but his
two victims are safe in port.-Spare

eArTlEsHlP FoR HAVANA.
The Maine Is Ordered on to the Gu
ban Capital.

Washington, Jan. 25.-For the first
time since the insurrection broke out
in Cuba three years ago, the United
States government is to be represented
in the harbor of Havana by war ship.
The decision TO send the United States
steamship Maine was finally reached
OF a special meeting at the white house
Monday morning between the presi-
dent. Secretary Long, Assistant Secre-
tary Day, Attorney-General McKenna
and Gen. Miles. and it is striking fact
that with the exception of the sec
rotary of the navy and the attorney
general not member of the cabinet
knew of the presidents intention to
take this radical action. 1t is not de-
MED. however. that some such move
has been long in contemplation, as is
evidenced in the following statement of
Assistant Secretary Day. made Monday
afternoon:
THE sending Of the Maine to Havana
means simply the resumption Of friendly
naval relations with Spain. II is customary
for naval vessels of friendly nations TO
pass in and out of the harbors of other
countries with which they are al peace.
ana BRUSH ana German war SnipS nave
recently visited Havana This is no new
move. The president has intended to do
1t for some time, but heretofore something
has happened to postpone IT, The orders
to the Maine mean nothing more than l
have said, and there is nothing alarming
or unfriendly in them. The Spanish min
lister here is fully informed of what is going
on. and so far as l know has not made the
slightest objection to it,"
Further, Assistant Secretary Day said
that Consul-General Lee had not sent
for war ship.
At the Spanish legation nothing was
known of the order for the Maine TO
proceed to Havana. Minister DE LONE
said that even in case it were true it
portended nothing serious. 1t was per-
fectly in accord with usage for war
ships of two friendly powers to enter
and leave each others ports; the war
ships of Spain had visited American
ports on complimentary missions three
| times in as many years, and if there had
rot been an American war ship in Ha-
vana, in the same length of time, it was
merely because the United States gov
! eminent had not seen fit to order one
there AS to the possible consequences
OF the Names appearing at Havana at
/ this time the minister expressed him
/ self as not at all uneasy.
