CHAPTER Y.

Philip knew that now his only
chance was to remain with the vessel,
and attempt to save himself upon some
fragment of the wreck. That the ship
would long hold together he felt was
impossible; already she had parted her
upper decks, and each shock of the
waves divided her more and more.
At last, as he clung to the mast, he
heard a noise abaft. and he then rec
objected that Mynheer Won Stroom was
still in his cabin. Philip crawled aft,
and found that the poop ladder had
been thrown against the cabbin door,
so as to prevent its being opened. He
removed 1t, and entered the cabin,
where he found Mynheer Won Stroom
clinging to windward with the grasp
of .death-but 1t was not death, but the
paralysis of fear. He spoke to him,
but could obtain no reply; he attempt
ed to move him, but 1t was impossi-
BILE to make him let go the part OF
the bulkhead that he grasped. A loud
noise and the rush OF a mass Of wa
ter told Philip that the vessel had
parted amidships, and he unwillingly
: abandoned the poor supercargo to his
fate and went out of the cabin door.
At the after hatchway he observed
something struggling-it was Johannes
the bear. who was swimming but still
fastened by cord which prevented his
escape. Philip took out his knife and
released the poor animal, and hardly
had he done this act Of kindness when
q heavy sea turned over the after part
of the vessel, which separated In many
places. and Philip found himself
struggling In the waves. Ue seized

THE sULTAN's MANNERS.
His Quiet Dignity, Pleasing Smile ana
Unusually Sympathetic Voice.


AS to the sultan's working habits, I
have known him to be at work at five
in the morning and keep whole stan
of secretaries going at that hour who
had slept overnight on couches In the
rooms in the palace they habitually
work In, says Harper's Magazine.
Munir Pasha, the imperial grand mas
ter of ceremonies, and one of the most
kindly, distinguished men 1t Is possi-
BILE to meet, once said to me: "There
is one characteristic Of his majesty
which conveys a constant lesson to us
all; 1t Is his extraordinary self-control
his impassive calm. 1t Is almost
sublime. No contrariety, no trial,
seems able to ruffie his perfect self
possession. II Is truly marvellous"
the sultan Is universally admitted to
produce on those who are privileged
to come into contact with him Is
doubtless in part due to that charm of
manner, that quiet dignity, so free
from angular self-assertion, which Is

bred Turks. But in his case 1t is sup
plemented by a pleasing smile and an
unusually sympathetic voice, the notes
of which always seem to convey a
pleasant impression, even to the
stranger who is unable to understand
what his majesty has said until 1t is
translated by the interpreter. The
sultan usually gives audiences on FRI
day after the ceremony OF the Selam-
lik, when he wears Turkish gen
erals uniform, with the star OF the

Postmaster Hall Preparing to Turn It

ced, Postmaster William T. Hall Will turn

Office to his successor, Buel j. Derby, next
Saturday. Mr.. Hall Is now busy closing
up his accounts, preparatory to the trans

During the four years that Mr.. Hall has
held tho position OF postmaster he has
done much to better the postal service in
this city and immediate vicinity. and n
brief review of what he has accomplished
in this direction will not be out of place
at this time. He has rearranFcd the in
terror of the office and rehtted it with new
furniture; has secured additional carriers
for this city and additional mail service on

him TO do In the matter Of a new federal

that the people Of Burlington ought not to

COUNTY COURT.

The sessions of County Court Thursday
were short, although probably quite long
enough for the prisoners who came under
the hand OF the law.
William Langlois, who wos found guilty
by a jury ON the previous day, was
brought into court Thursday morning for
sentence Judge Taft sentenced the pris-
oner to pay to the State of Vermont the
sum of 800 and be confined in the House
of Correction at Rutland for the rerOd
Of one year. The offence was that OF sell
ing liquor to Walter Baker and was eX-
tensively reported at the time OF it's ap-
pearance in City Court. In City Court the
case of having on land, resulting from a
search, was one OF the first tried by jury
and Langlois was acquitted. In this case
no jury trial was had IN City Court but
an appeal was taken. The offence was
number four.
In the afternoon Peter Preevy, Lang
lois partner in the drug store, which rad
only been in operation for a week when
the search took place, was brought in and
charged with selling. Ills bail VS. fixed
at 500. Several offences are also alleged
IN PreeVy's case.
Fred f.. BiXby, who was held Tor Couu-
ty Court after a healing on the charge
of 4 criminal assault upon Mrs. Carney
