1t over and you agree with them
that they should have taken the north
ern or summer route for their wedding
tour, and you all want a storm; women
are such brave little things at sea.
Once upon time took the northern
or summer route and went out to md
a storm. Here is what / found the sec
ond day out at the close of a sultry
twilight:
The captains trumpet smote the air!
Swift men, like spiders up thread,
Swept suddenly. Then masts were bare
As when tall poplars' leaves are shed,
And ropes were clamped and stays were
clewed.
Twas as when wrestlers iron-thewed.
Gird tight their loins, take full breath,
And set firm face as fronting death.
Three small brown birds, or gray, SO
small
+ So ghostly still and swift they passed,
They scarce seemed birds at all.

Then quick. keen saber-cuts, like ice;
Then sudden hail, like battle-shot.
Then two last men crept down like mice,
And man. poor pygmy man, was not.
The great ship shivered as with cold,
An instant staggered back, then bold
/ AS Theodosia, to her waist
! In waters, stood erect and faced
Black thunder as she kept her way
And laughed red lightning from her
face
AS on some summers day.
The black sea-horses rode in row.
Their swift names tossing to the
night,
But made the blackness blacker grow
From flashing. phosphorescent light
And how like hurdle seeds they leapt
The low moon burst, the black trool
swept
Right through her hollow, on and on
wave-wet scimiter was drawn.
. Flashed twice, flashed thrice triumph

But still the steeds dashed on. dashe'

AN IMPosToR's ESCAPE.
The Alleged French Duke Narrowly
Misses LNnching.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. March S-A telegram
from New Point, Ind. gives an account OF
a narrow escape OF a bogus French duke
from lynching About a month ago a we'll
dressed man appeared. representing him
self to be an exiled French duke and heir
to a large estate. He gave his name as
Desmarais In a short time he had in
gratiated himself with the daughter OF
Henry Wolfe. a wealthy merchant He
made his home at Wolfe's residence during
his sojourn This week the neighborhood
was startled by hearing of the proposed
wedding of the duke and the daughter OF
Henry Wolfe. The license was procured.
the minister was in the house. the wedding
dinner was spread, and all was ready when
the young womans uncle arrived and
stopped the ceremony. He disclosed nu-
meIous facts which opened the fathers
eyes to his daughters danger. After a
council was held it was decided to tele-
graph to Bristol Conn. where the duke
said his uncle lived. for reference. To
this the duke objected, and Wolfe made a
scene.
After the news had been circulated mob
soon formed and started for Wolfe's resi-
dence with the intention of lynching the
impostoE On arrival they were met at
the door by the young woman. who pleaded
in such a pitiful manner for the duke that
it was decided to let him remain over
night. At night the house was barricaded
and each door and window guarded by a
man with a gun. Later he was escorted to
a train.
