And we saw-great God!-our captain
quaff
The water the Johnny brought!
We saw the light Of a mighty joy
Come over his dying face,
And we thought we saw, thro' the drlltlhS
smoke,
The North and the South embrace!
Tim Brown. who never was known to melt,
Looked down at his riddled coat,
Then, turning, walked half-shamed away
For his eyes were all afloat!
All. boys, we were weaker than babies
then,
And our thanks rose, deep and SLOW,
To the Mighty One who had turned our
shot
From the breast of our dearest foe!
And many a deed I've seen in war
That the books have spelrd out large,
But never a sweeter act I'll see
Till take my last discharge!
Yes, we asked his name when the fight was
done,
AS a miner d look for gold,
And over the Yankee fires that night
The story was told and told.
We blazed his deed in our Utmost hearts,
And not till their doors are burst
Shall vanish John Nichols, of Spartan
burg,
OF the South Carolina First!

ment Gazette.

Then Doris, with a rather grim smile,
sat before her kitchen fire with bit Of
memorandum book on her knee, and
pencil in her left hand,
Slowly and clumslly she jotted down
some items, and gazed ut them.

Then sine laughed till the tears came,
Everybody will say; How lucky
that Doris has money in the savings

while her arm is useless!"

say; and Doris smiled her little grim

years, except as pensiye memory
Eben Doolttle, sick, forlorn and in
debt, called out all the old affection, re-
enforced by maternal pity and ycarn-

And, day by day, the potatoes
dwindled and the flour grew less, while
the crippled hand became no better.
At last the final morsel Of food had dis
appeared, and Doris scraped the coal

The day after she had eaten her last
saucer of oatmeal, sailed instead of
sweetened, she did not feel so brisk and
so Independent of physical limitations.

confided TO the poker, as she cleaned
out few wood ashes. There hasn't
been coal fire in this stove for two
days. Doris looks pinched with hum
ger, and that fainting was a bad piece
OF business"
She took an old friends privilege Of
softly opening the "buttery' door and
gancing along the shelves.
"Not n crumb of anything that baby
fly could make a meal on. Doris is
either out OF her mind, and growing
misery, or else she has put her saw
iugs into some humbug concern that
don't pay any dividends except to the
men that run It,"
She lighted the fire, then stepped to
the bedroom door.

Sarah Jane thinks some of pulling mo-
lasses candy after supper, and maybe
the Simpson girls will be over. You

She smiled and gave Doris mother
ly pat on the shoulder.
what godsend!" thought Doris,
never dreaming that her old friend had
discovered the true state Of affairs.
It was heavenly change when, after
letting the shingle fire down and fas-
tening the doors and windows, Doris
with her "satchel bag" on her left arm
accompanied her good friend TO the
home overlooking with plenty.
The merriment after supper was at
its height when there was a knock at
the side door.
Eben Doolittle!
Mrs, Gillespie and the girls crowded
around him with n hearty welcome, but
Doris sat white and trembling. Why
had he come back so soon? Had his
last venture failed?
He gave her penetrating look as he
came up and took her hand, then snid'

wanted to see you--on business"
Her heart was whirling, and her pale
cheeks were growing hot. TO relieve
her confusion, Eben began to joke with
Sarah Jane and the Simpson girls about
the candy pulling.
After tafry, pop corn, games and rid
dies, she and Eben were alone for n
minute or two, while Mrs. Gillespie and
Sarah Jane received the long-drawn
taking of the Simpson girls at the
side door.
Eben came close to Doris.
81 have only minute to speak, and !
suppose I am ungallant to the Simpson
girls, but-Doris, do you think didn't
know who put that blessed money in
my hall that night? l saw you, Doris,

I was standing, lonely, and weak, and
dispirited, When picked up that en-
velope and saw its contents, I under

and the steps of their hostess and her
daughter were heard coming along the

present day, and was christened the
Myrtle. l.. B. Chapman, of San Fran
cisco, was her owner, and for num-
Der of years she was the crack flyer
on the bay there, and was the winner
of many hard fought races. She was
brought down here in 1888 by John
Patty and w. c.. Sproull, and Col. Fish
er and Bruce Cartwright were also part
owners of her
At this time she was a center-bOard
boat with a draft of about 3 feet Z
inches. When brought into competi-
ton with the Honolulu yachts she did
not make so good IL showing as she
had on the coast. Either the boats
here were faster than those of the
coast, or the changes which We're made
in her rig had made her slower. AT
any event she gathered no more racing
laurels, but gained an enviable repu-
tation as IL Staunch and seawOrthy
craft. At this time she sailed under
the name of Spray, by which name she
is best known here.
Later on the Spray was sold to Pat
Curtis and he changed her from CEN
terboard to a keel boat and made other
alterations. During the term Of his
ownership her experiences were varied
and in many cases most exciting. At
one time Capt. Cook went through a
heavy Kona in the channel, in her,
without mishap worth mention. She
was several times reported to be IN the
opium smuggling business and was
quite a prominent figure III revolution
airy times. Some time ago she was sold
to Clarence Macfarlane, who reftted
her upper works, bent on new sails
and rechristened her the Alice When

put her on the ways and give her hull

Her present dimensions are: Length
