necessarily the best way The world
has moved very fast during the past so

are in vogue for doing almost every

old things. but have little patience
with the man who insists that his
grandfather's way is the best way.

A READER OF CHARACTER.
Stuart, the American Painter, Was a
Good Judge of Human
Nature.

ST don't want people to look at my
pictures and say how beautiful the
drapery. Is; the face is what 1 care
about, said Stuart, the great American
painter. He was once asked what ne
considered the most characteristic fea-
ture of the face; ne replied by pressing
the end of his pencil against the tip
of his nose, distOrting it oddly.
His faculty at reading physiognOmy
sometimes made curious hits. There
was a person in Newport, r. l., cele
brated for his powers of calculation,
put in other respects almost an idiot.
One day Stuart, being in the British
museum, came upon a bust whose like
ness was apparently unmistakable.
Calling the curator. he said: Il see
you have a head of Calculating Jem-
my"
Calculating Jemmy!'" repeated
the curator. in Amusement. THAT is
the head of Sir Isaac Newton"
On another occasion. while dining
with the duke of Northumberland his
host privily called his attention 10 a
gentleman, and asked the painter if
he knew him Stuart had never seen
him before.
Tell me what sort of a man he is"
"I may speak frankly?"
'By all means"
'WeIl, if the Almighty ever wrote a
legible hand, he is the greatest rascal
that ever disgraced society"
1t appeared that the man was an at
torney who had been detected in sun
dry dishonorable acts.
Stuart's daughter tells pretty story
of her fathers garnet. where many of
his unfinished pictures were stored:
''The garnet was my playground, and
4 beautiful sketch of Nine Bonaparte
was the idol that 1 worshiped. At last
l got possession of colors and an old
panel, and fell to work copying the
picture. Suddenly l heard a frightful
roaring sound; the kitchen chimney
was on fire. Presently my father Gp-
peared, TO see if the fire was likely 20
do any damage. He saw that I looked
very foolish at being caught at such
presumptuous employment, and pre-
tended not to see me. But presently
he could not resist looking over my
shoulder.
why, boy said he-so he used to
address me-'you must not mix your
colors with turpentine; you must have
some oil!'"
1t is pleasant to add that the little
girl who thus found her inspiration
eventually became a portrait-painteK Of

blank wall the bow of the schooner.
So suddenly were we upon it that the Jill
boom was well over US before sighted the
black hull, and with all my might checked
the boats way, grasping the bobstay IL
time to save the taut cable, and we came tc
a rest. The suck of the rushing waters
against the broad, fat end Of the scow
made me fearful that the noise would cal
the guards attention forward, and, whis-
pering into the ear Of Ames to hold all fas.
until | returned, gently rid me of my boots,
took my sword betwixt my teeth, swarmed
I'D the STAY to the bOwsprit, and stood again
on the deck of my own schooner.
At last twas done. The exultation I feb
would be but natural to any man who sees
the successful ending of d difficult under
taking Fog and darkness were as nothing
&c me here; my way aft would have been
clear had l been blind, but'hardly had
gotten abreast the foremost when l heard
the burly tones of one man addressing an
other, and the noise Of oars as they fell into
rowlocks came plainly to my strained ear
Stepping softly over the bulwark, l lowered
myself to the channel and listened.
AN yet get astray in the fog an come not
back by dawn, III have We in the guard
house-for bein' off post" said the voice from
the deck.
Nay" came the answer from a boat;
eye do me a good turn by giving me this
leave; fear me not III ne'er betray you or
fail to be back in time for you to get ashore.
IT'S a summers fog, an will melt by sun
risei Tell him l will fetch the rum"
Fetch it, then, but not IN yer skin, was
the return. IF they speak o me, say We
heard l was going on quest to Kingsbridge,
to be back on the morrow. Ye had better
Delay yer lip, for We are off post, an bold
ye in my hand"
GAY, ay! Never fear! Good night" was
the answer, and the boat moved of with
stead: strokes of the oar, while the hrst
speaker evidently entered the cabin, - l
heard the companion door open and close.
Then all was again silent.
Here was an unexpected situation made
more mysterious from the fact that there
was something familiar in the voice of the
man who had just gone below. l could not
place it, only noticing that both men spoke
with the SAVIOR of sea brine in their words,
and though one was totally strange to me,
the voice of the other hung in my ear as a
misty dream hangs in the mind after wax
ing, naught but its effect remaining.
Getting to the deck again, l moved slow
ly aft, stopping as l noticed a slight luminos-
ity at the side of the cabin, but on further
cautious approach found the cause. The
cabin was lighted. To prevent the light
from going beyond the vessel a sarpaulin
had been stretched over the cabin house
from rail to rail, thus leaving an open space
betwixt the rails and the headlights, where
by was served the double end of obtaining
air and guarding the outward show of light.
Here was deviltry for sure. Dropping on
to my stomach, l snaked myself beneath the
tarpaulin, brought my eye to the swung
back port, and nearly betrayed myself by
the start l made.

CHAPTER XVI.
THE CABIN OF THE PHANTOM.


With my mind lost to all else save the
calculation Of the speed and distance we
were making, and my body braced forward
awaiting the proper moment to swerve the
boats course, l was suddenly startled by a
quick exclamation from Ames, which was
at once followed by a rasping bump and
the heeling of the scow until the water
poured in over the gunwale. At the same
moment the starboard oar received a blow
that almost tore it from my hand, and what
seemed a huge black object arose along
side and quickly vanished in the mist and
darkness astern. The suddenness and
smartness of the shock were startling; but.
quick as were the appearance and disap-
pearance Of the obstruction we had fouled
l recognized it to be the spar buoy which
marked the outer edge of the reef extend
ing from the Hook into the river.
One might have cruised a week under the
conditions besetting US and failed to have
picked it up. 1t was like cropping through
the proverbial haystack and finding the
proverbial needle without having looked for
Il, and, though its greeting had well-nigh
been disastrous, 1t gave me the one point /
wished with absolute accuracy. I now
knew that we were nearly dead on the
Phantom, and not two cable lengths away;
indeed, had we missed the rude warning of
the spar, it was but fair to reckon we would
have fouled the schooner herself unless in
my miscalculations / had altered our course,
in which case we would have missed her al
together.
Quickly turning the boats head about, I
let 1t drift stern first, and even before 1 ex-
pected, heard the rush Of the tide against a
vessels stem, while almost instantly, mag
