CHAPTER XVIII.
PURSUED.

All that morning we sailed almost as
tiithely as ever pleasure seekers sailed a
summer sea. True it was that measure of
anxiety still hampercd my spirits, but as
compared with what we had undergone,
We were at heart as light as the tilmy mares
tails floating athwart the blue above. And
even now, while tragedy might be lurking
near, there was an element of the ridiculous
in our appearances, too marked not to be
noticed by each of u.s. The girl, with a
I.atura! care of herself, was the most pre-
sentable of the three and looked to be but
proper youth; but swas Ames who gave
color to the ships present company. lie
had retained his wig-to make his hat mt,
he said-and what with his fresh face, white
hair, and clothes still mud-stancd from his
fall into the ditch the night before, he was
a sight to behold. As for myself, | appeared
to be in the last stage of diapidatlon. A
four days growth of dark beard, my cloth
ing burned, raln-soaked and ragged, my
linen a shock to the eye, my queue ribbon
less, and my hair streaming about my shoul-
ders, | made a picture fit to repel the girl.
Two days before, her likes or dsli<es would
not have caused me a seconds thought, but
now somehow my very size seemed to me OBJ
trusive, and, coupled with my outward
state, Shamed me into an avoidance OF her
close observance.
But no change could make in her manner
when necessity brought us together. Her
smile was as bright-ay, brighter-than the
dazzling sea about US, her voice as free from
nervous tremulousness, and her manner as
self-contained as though she was treading a
ballroom floor instead of the grmy, slowly
| heaving deck Of a fugitive schooner. Once
| she had laid her hand on mine as | stood at
/ the wheel, and seemed to be about to speak
! to me, giving quick upward glance OF her
tark eye, though lowering her gaze as quick
ly; but as her brother hove aft just then.

Fine People In 17S3.

My lady was as reckless as my lord,
and ratified the dicebo and shuflied the
cards from dusk till morning, going
dan chair. when workmen were going
home from lathe and loom to break
fast Family diamonds and jewels and
plate were stalied when the guineas
were exhausted, and when these pos
sessions had gone farms and estates
were sacrificed. The amusements, too,
of wealthy people were of coarse and
cruel description. Rat-worrying, cock
fighting and badger batting were ia
vorite diversions. Prize fighting was
regarded rs essential to keep up the
courage of Englishmen. Even the
clergy joined in these low and bruta!
pastimes and neglected their spiritual
duties, or cut short Sunday afternoon
service sooner than miss being p-es-
ent at a main of cocks or seeing two
men entering the ring for the express
purpose of pommeling one another,
breaking ribs, damaging noses, knock
ing out teeth, and cracking jaws. The
devotional life of the church was dis
tinguished by all the apathy that pre-
vailed during the Georgian period; the
sacred edtices were dormitories for
the living as well as of the dead; but
the work of Whitefield and the two
brothers Wesley had helped to breathe
new life into the dry bones of the es-
tablishment.-Cha Journal.

been an inveterate smoker, often using
Is cigars day. Excessive use of to-
bacco caused a cancer of the tongue,
and the organ had to be removed.
This operation was most difficult and
was, according to the New York Her
aid, performed in Bellevue hospital.
1t was necessary to saw through the
lower jaw at the center and remove
two lower front teeth, together with
a portion of the jawbone on either
side of these teeth. When this was
done the surgeons removed two-thirds
of the anterior part of the tongue,
leaving only the base of the organ.
The severed ends of the jaw were
reunited with wire.
Henderson then left the hospital,
the surgeons giving him little hope of
ever being able to eat solid food.
Mr.. Henderson finally went to the
New York college of dentistry, where
Dr. Frederick Bradley took charge
of his case. He sawed through the jaw
again and adjusted its sides evenly,
bringing them in as close impact as
possible. A metal cap was placed over
all of the lower teeth and held in po-
stion by a clamp on either side of the
mouth fastened under the chin. After
the patient had worn this for five
weeks it was removed, and it was
found that the several parts of the
jaw had reunited.
Henderson was still unable to eat
solid food, because he had no tongue
to pass it back into the oesophagus.
To overcome this difficulty the sur
geon constructed an artificial tongue.
rim of gold was made to fit the
inner surface of the lower teeth. This
was beveled off toward the lower edge
and attached to a wire clasp which
fitted over one of the back teeth on
either side. bar of German silver
was fastened across the mouth from
one of the back teeth to another op-
poste. This was inclosed in a tube of
the same metal of sufficient size to
permit it to rotate easily on the bar.
A tongue of red vulcanized rubber
was made to fit about the tube. The
rear of the rubber tongue was bev-
eled off toward the bottom and placed
under the base of the real tongue, so
that the least movement of the mus
cles pressed down on the rubber,
throwing the tongue up.
Henderson is now able to talk AS
distinctly and freely as he ever did,
and eats with ease and freedom.

Once onto blue water we held council

Jersey coast and by myself try to work un-

consigned the schooner's cargo. But neither
brother nor sister would hear of such a
move. Washington having withdrawn to
the north, there could be no telling the
state of southern Jersey, especially as it had
been overrun with bands of marauders
known as "Sandhillers," and, there being
no safe objective for the fugitives, to land
would be but beginning anew a search for
refuge. Without money (though | would

FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Pretty Notions That Are Noticeable
In Ladies' Costumes for
the Season.

The Eton jacket, in its new form, is
without revers, and is double breasted,
with small buttons and cord loops, so
that it may be worn open or closed at
will. 1t is iaunty and effective, says
the New Yc:k Tribune.

have uolero front. The back will
keep its familiar form of yoke or plaits,

are cut to flare bit below the elbow,
and the undersleeves are gathered at

a phase of fashion in garnitures is
the tendency toward guipure. En-
broidered, crocheted and fringed eff
fects are likely to be more prevalent
than for many years. and this indicates
that the majority of cloth fabrics will
be forced to retire in favor of the pic
| turesque.
/ 1t is an undisputed fact that the stage
is responsible for many of fashion $
whims. The present lingerie sleeve is
! the direct outcome of the production of
"Cyrano" in Paris, and in the promised
fall designs it also occupies a con-
spicuous place, especially for home
wear French women have adopted
the mode of having bodices made
sleeveless, with number of pairs of
sleeves of different sorts, which can be
either tackled or hooked in the arm
holes at moments notice.
For travelling or fall excursions,
homespun or yelling will be much
favored, also figured mohair of rather
heavy weave. For future wear until
the cold weather fairly sets in, the
favored colors are ecru, French gray,
red, light shades of blue and white.
Not for many seasons has white been
so fashionable. both for old and young,
the only difference being in the fabric,
which is seldom relieved by any touch
of co.or, except in the headgear.

ones should be quartered and cored and
cooked separately Allow two quarts
of vinegar. four pounds of light brown

HOW HE FELT ABOUT 1T.
The Fond Father Could Not Help hut
Sympatbixe in n Case Like
This,

"Of course" remarked the proud fa-
ther of six children, according to the
Washington Star, there is nothing in
sincerely happy as to have around him
a whole houseful of registering chill
dren, every one of them tickled plumb
to death when he comes home at
night, and every one of them wanting
to climb all over him at once and the
same time. Still, it is possible that
there may be an embarrassment of
riches, as the French say, of even this
sort, and when baby is of the squall-
ing kind he sometimes thinks he
would almost commit crime for the
sake of five or six minutes of peace
and quiet. A friend of mine, who
lives in a fiat, is the father of a regu-
lar four-time squaller, and there was
an incident at his home the other
evening that has caused his wife to
look upon him with suspicion. Albert
