woman,s Courage Failed Her

Two married women of the northern
section of the city are regular attend
ants at the theater certain nights
each week Their husbands, owing to
the nature of their occupations, are
unable to accompany them, so they go
alone. One of the ladies resides three
squares from the cars and the other
nearly two squares, both on the same
street. The lady who lives farthest
from the cars was asked by her hus-
band if she was not afraid to walk
the distance alone.
"Afraid?" she answered. do you
see that?'' producing wicked-looking.
long hatpin. IF any man should ad-
dress me / would stab him."
One dark night recently the two
wives alighted from the car at their
usual place and started homeward.
cheerfully chatting about the play
They had gone half square when a
man suddenly appeared from an alley.
His hat was slouched over his eyes.
At a glance the ladies concluded he
was a suspicious character. They
slowed up to let him get past, but he
slowed up also. Then they walked
faster; he did the same. AS they near
ed the home of one of the ladies the
man was very close to them. The one
who had boosted of what she would
do when an opportunity occurred for
the use of the hatpin broke in a dead
run for the middle of the street, down
which she hurried like wild gazelle.
After she had gone fifty or sixty feet
a familiar voice rang out: SAY, Nan.
where's your hatpin? 1t was her hus-
band. She still declares that it was
the meanest thing he ever did.

CHATTER Kill

The stranger smiled again. but was
silent. Sutherland sought his boat. and
in a few minutes regained the deck of
the Sparrow Hawk. Informing YarnaI
of the suspicious character of the bark,
he desired him to have a strict watch
kept on her movements; and, further
more, to heave short. and have everything
ready for getting under way at mo-
ment's warning.
There was 4 knock for admission at
the cabin door little later. Sutherland
started to his feet. and Mr.. Yarnall en-
tered. and Informed him that the bark
was heaving up her anchor.
I'm glad of it: he shall be ours the
sooner. Is everything ready for getting

contrary 10 Sutherland's wishes or ex-
pectations. she hauled down her jib and
again let go her anchor. Shortly after
ward. men were seen at work upon her
yards. and in little time her courses
and topsails were unbent. and every APP
parent preparation made for protracted
stay in port.

Sutherland was soon swept to the shore.

at 8 o'c.oek. and proceeded at once to
the quarters Of the Governor. Though

This depression is sixty miles above

Latin and Italian.

In the fifteenth century Leonardo
Bruni, surnamed L'Aretino, from his
birthplace, Arezzo, maintained that
the Italian language was cceval with
the Latin, and that both were used at
the same time in Ancient Rome-Ital-
ian by the common people and Latin
by the learned and polished in thii1
Writings and assemblies. CARDINAL
Bembo. who died in the middle Of the
sixteenth century, maintained the
same theory, which was also defended
during the last century by francesca
Sayerio Quadrio. Generally speaking
philologists of to-day believe that the
Italian language is a branch of the
provincial Latin of the Empire, min
gled with barbaric words, bat the Mar
quis SciDio Maffei rejects this theory,
and believes that modern Italian was
gradually formed by the corruption of
the classic Italian without any adj

CHAPTER XIV

0I1A4 ~
When the time allotted the Sea King
for escape had expired, the Sparrow
Hawks anchor was hove up, and she
stood out to the harbor of Havana under
a press of canvas. As it was Sutherland s
avowed intention to search for her in
every port of the West Indies, he shaped
his course for the Windward Islands,
and touched at them all in succession
but his expedient was ineffective, and the
last one of all the group sank again in
the blue waters of the Caribbean without
his having obtained any tidings of the
vessel in question. Dispirited at such i'll
success, he put his helm up, and again
returned to leeward For three days the
weather continued favorable, the breeze
blew fresh and fair, and the sky was
without cloud; but the morning of the
fourth dawned ioweringly upon the ocean.
With the firstindications of dawn a dead
calm fell. and the air became. oppressive
| ly hot and difficult of respiration, cloud
after cloud, too, piled upon one another,
and the entire mass grew blacker and
! blacker, until night seemed to triumph
over the coming day, and again resume
her ebon throne in the concaye realm
above.
Sutherland came on deck with coun-
tenance unusually anxious. MIR. Top

fear we've a hurricane brewing about us
the barometer has fallen rapidly with
in the last half hour, and it still con-
tinues to descend" As soon as he finish
ed this remark he commenced issuing the
necessary orders for reducing sail: the
tOpsails were close reefed, the mansail
was snugly furled and the foresail close
reefed; the flying jibboom was also rig
ged in, the jib hauled down and the fore
storm-staysail set with both sheets trim
med fat aft. While these dispositions
were going on aloft the carpenters on
deck were battening down the matches
and rigging the pump gear; men were set
ting up the boats gripes, the quarter gun
ners housing and securing the battery
and all hands, in a word, employed in
getting the ship ready to buffet for mas
terry with those awful blasts that still at
| times sweep over the Eden-lke islands of
the Caribbees, hurting their smiling
towns and villas into terrific ruin, and
carrying desolation abroad upon their
waters The sky continued to darken,
and the lightning now gave out the only
brightness that guided the work of the
mariners, and as its vivid rays darted
along the deck of the ship the counte-
nances of all on board glowed with a
CHASTITY hue, and they seemed to have
rolled up to the zenith, and there it com.
menced crashing in awful and rapid ex.
plosions. Still it was calm; not breath
of wind stirred abroad, and the anxious
mariner elevated his palm in vain to as
certain the direction of the expected
wind.
