. The Fortnightly Club met with
Mrs. S, B. Nelson Saturday after

read passages here and there fairly
illuminating them.

tice farm, west of town, was turn.
piked last Summer, it was hoped
that the problem of making road
passable in the rainy season had
been solved, but the road is now as
bad, or worse, than ever, it being
impossible for load to be hauled
over it. The only remedy for this
piece of road seems to be macad-
amizing, or rocking. The citizens
of Pullman, through the CONNER
cial club, should cooperate with
the county and the farmers who
use the road, and before another
winter it should be put in good
q shape. Certainly Pullman loses a
large amount Of trade through the
condition of this mile of road.
Rock could be gotten out where
but a short haul would be required,
and a lasting road-bed could be
cheaply constructed.

PAST GLORY.
Have Upon the Visiting
Traveller.
[To BE Continued

In 1876 Don Diego Garcia de Palacio,
an officer of the king of Spain, jour
neying from Guatemala to San Pedro,
passed through the ruins of Copan, and
in letter to Philip ia letter that
is still preserved in the British museum
describes what he saw there. His
description is such as might be writ
ten to-day by any intelligent traveller;
the buildings were in complete ruin and
the Indians who lived in the vicinity
were unable to give him any enlight-
eminent concerning them. Yet this was
only 46 years after the expedition of
Chaves.
There is but one reasonable conclu-
siOn-the city was abandoned and in
ruins long before the arrival of the
Spaniards; all tradition concerning it
was lost, and its name forgotten. It's
glory was never beheld by Europeans.
Could we conceive of that privilege as
having been theirs, what would have
been their establishment, when, issuing
from the rocky passes and dangerous
defiles of the cordilleras, they first be-
held the vision of this enchanted valley
with its guardian city? Standing in
such a situation and gazing on that
scene in its present aspect, clothed in
the melancholy charm of the wilder
ness, was filed with admiration at
the consciousness of what must have
been, from the beauty of the situation
and the barbaric grandeur of its archi-
lecture, the effect of that proud city in
its prime.
The moral effect of all these ruins on
the traveller who sojourns among them
is not easily described. They have an
atmosphere that is not shared by any
other ruins in the world. The silence
of the tomb pervades them. The sol
emn and sympathetic shade of the for
est wraps them like the sacred dead as
in a shroud of living verdure, where
clnging moss and ferns, as though in
pity, seem to hide what time has worn
away. - Bulletin of American Geo
graphical Society.

CHAPTER XIV.
A RESPITE.

1t was a tragic episode, but had seen so
much tragedy crowded into my life for the
past few days that this quick and probably
painless passing Of human soul made in my
state but little impression. / looked for the
doctor, but saw the doors Of the forecastle
fast closed, and afterward found that the
force of the water had slammed them on
him, knocking him from the ladder TO the
deck below. A pity it was that there and
then it had not been he instead Of my
plucky enemy who had first planted foot to
come aft. Better for my subsequent happi-
ness would it have been if, instead of the
sailor, that red-faced drunkard had choked
in the element he so despised.
The heaving into the wind and the drown
ing of the seaman were the only events
which reused my blood to a heat which make
the details stand out in memory. l might
tell Of the sufferings of Ames and Gertrude
King, and of their utter Indifference and
total abandonment to what appeared GER
tain destruction, but it would be useless.
The greatest agony Of either sprang from
seasickness and its attendingmiseries. There
was not one of US who thought of food,
which was probably fortunate, as our stock
brought on board was bTine-soal1ed and ru-
tougher sailors lost heart and stomach in
the deadening nausea that gradually seized
US and kept its hold. The doctor, impris-
oned forward by the seas, and too cowardly
to show his head after his one attempt to
come aft, might have been in another world
for all we heard OF saw of him. The last
drop of stimulant had gone, and with it had
gone the last of even fictitious spirits. An
unsuitable apathy clutched our company,
and, save that one lurch Of the vessel was
of greater violence than another, nothing
marked the events of hours Fear had
passed; anxiety was dead; day and night
were meaningless terms. Wewere only wait
ing the final stroke, wrench, an open seam,
and then the blessed end.
Mechanically l placed rain-soaked cloths
on the wounded ribs Of my friend and on
the gashed head OF his sister, and offered to
them rain water squeezed from a square
cloth of canvas. 1t was not because my in
terest in either ran high; friendship for one
and love for the other had fallen with my
nerve force into a latent state, and bare
ly responded to their needs-to my own |
responded not at all. Mechanically went
to the deck, only to meet the same lead
overhead and the same towering majesty
of water, neither Of which impressed me
flor l was far past being impressed more
than have since been by a fiat calm. The
pitiless rain in my face and eyes would
rouse in me a dull sense of discomfort. lust

cabin, and the deathlike forms Of the two
on the floor, and feel that we were all sink
ing into the languor Of starvation and gro
longed strain.
By the end of the third day the Phan-
tom was practically a floating wreck, though
for all J. could see not a line had parted, ro-
a spar, other than the topmast, been dis
placed. But there was no longer a buoyant
lift to her bows, and the seas ran danger
ously near the level of the deek-a fact that
plainly spoke of water in the hold, it hav-
ing drained from above or leaked between
her strained planks. There had been no at
tempt at pumping, for no man could have
stood at the brakes in the deluge that came
aboard, and now we were settling, helped
mightily by the nature of our cargo. But
the knowledge Of it gave me no trouble, nor
was there a comment made on the fact,
though to three of us at least the condi-
tioEs were clearly apparent

GAINED HIS POINT.
A "ChrOnic Kicker" Who by Queer
Reasoning Got What He
Was After.

Some years ago an Irishman named
Pat Noonan had a vegetable stand in
one of the city markets. Pat was u
chronic kicker for what he considered
Ibis rights" and at the same time
about as shrewd and witty a specimen
of the Emerald islander as could be
found in a weeks travel, outside of the
''ould DART" and no matter how awk-
ward a predicament he found himself in
his mental quickness generally showed
him way out.
One day he was complaining to ths
superintendent of the market that the
rent of his stall was altogether too high,
and after giving various reasons why ii
should be materially reduced, he wound
up by sOlemnly declaring that he was
losing at least a thousand dollars a year.
''We1, Pat, if that's the case" said
the superintendent, dryly, I'D advise
you to sell out and quit the business at
once. You certainly can't afford to
keep on if you are running behind a
thousand dollars a year"
'Shure, an I know it." said Pat,
philosophically; ''the business is ruin
in me intoirely, but moight ez well
sthick to it now that I'm at it. I've got
to do somethin' to make Hvin', an
if 1 quit sellin' cabbages an praties an
start at some other thrade moight be
afther losin' more yet, 1 dunno"
The superintendent concluded to
lower Mr.. Noonan's rent and allow him
to remain in the vegetable business

GOrdOn's Courage

Sir W. II. Russell, the veteran wal
correspondent, tells this characteristic
story of Gordon: During the Crimean
war there was a sortie and the Russians
actually reached the English trench.
Gordon stood on the parapet, in great
danger of his life, with nothing save his
stick in his hand, encouraging the
soldiers to drive out the Russians
Gordon" they cried; "come down.
You'll be killed." But he took no notice,
and a soldier who was near said: Its
all right; e don't mind being killed

But, though the Phantom's antics were
reduced in violence and we existed in com
paratve comfort, the schooner was far from
being secure, since the whole seas that rose
and cOmbed over the bows threatened again
and again to swamp the craft, for, ere her
scuppers could relieve her of the terrible
weight of water from one wave, another
would follow and tear aft, at times driving
her bow fairly under. There was nothing
to do but knock away great sections Of the
buwarks to give free drainage to the food,
and, this done, we could but stand and wait
for what fate had in store.
1t was when we were thus driven to in
action that one life was lost. 1 was stand
ing by the wheel, drenched, exhausted, and
fast falling into my former state of dull
apathy. The galley doors had been fastened
TO keep out the water, and the forecastle
hatch was closed, though not secured. Larry
and the New Bedford mar were close to
me, crouched in the lee cabin house To 90
forward was to court death, and, though
the quarter was NO place for a seaman off
duty, all attempts at discipline and sea ETH
quette had given way before the common
danger, and both men kept aft to be clear Of
the rush of the sea.
In a half-dreamy way / was coming the
horizon dead ahead when l saw the fore
castle door open and the man who had de-
fed me step to the deck at an interval when
for a moment the deluge had subsidized He
was suffering agony from his wrenched arm,
for his face was working, and he held the
wounded limb in his right hand. The pain
of it had probably driven him to despera-
ton, or reduced his spirit into getting aft
and seeking possible relief to his torment
Behind him appeared the head and part
of the body of the now sobered surgeon, at
whose advice he had doubtless taken the
reckless step of leaving the forecastle. The
man in advance seemed dazed, for he hest
tated and almost fell as the head of the
schooner rose to a billow, but with an eff
fort he turned toward me and staggered
a step forward. At that instant I saw a
huge sea lifting ahead, its ridge tottering to
a fall, its fine crest rent by the wind, blow
ing to leeward like smoke, and as I marked
it l threw up one hand and shouted to the
man to get back. Whether he understood
or not ! shall never know, for ere he had
gotten abreast the foremost the vicious roll
er boarded the schooner with a roar and at
once the fellow disappeared. / saw him a
second later borne swiftly along the deck
toward the bulkhead passage, and before
one could shout Man overheard" he was
swept into the sea as a bucket of water
would have swept away a chip. Again I
marked him drifting sternward on the crest
of a wave, with one hand in the air, as in
appeal, his set, white face looking like paper
as he gave last terror-stricken glance at me
and shout unheard save by his Maker.
