FlSHED WITH DANIEL WEBSTER

How Capt. Pratt scraped Acquaintance
with tho Great Statesman.
Every visitor to Scituate or the
neighboring villages along the shore
and farther inland knows Capt. Pratt,
says the Boston Transcript. He Is
among the Oldest of the towns inhab-
itants, and from an inexhaustible fund
Of entertaining stories he relates with
inimitable drollery many amusing hap
penings Of a time before the south
shore became a famous resort. It is
counted an important part of the sum-
mer's programme nowadays to call on
this old man and hear him narrate
some of the varied experiences of his
ninety years life. He dearly loves
company, and when the wind Is in the
right direction he can be very enter
tanning. For more than forty years
he was master OF ships that visited all
the ports along the Atlantic coast.
After that he retired to somewhat
quieter life fishing round the zigzag
shores of his native Massachusetts. He
believes himself to be the only sur
vivor Of the company that built the
first Minot's Ledge lighthouse, and, al
though his memory lapses when recent
events are under discussion, he is UNI
disputed authority on matters relating
to that wonderful undertaking as well
as the disastrous storm that swept it
and it's occupants from the earth, when
he was also one Of the workmen.
Sitting beneath the apple trees that
shelter lis home, with his little grand
daughters at his feet, Capt. Pratt looks
up at the sound Of every passing
vehicle and mods and smiles at the
never-failing greeting of "the summer
folk" All Of his "reminiscences are
worth hearing, but there is one which
he tells with special glee. 1t relates to
certain day, long ago, when he was
fishing in his boat just off the shore
with several companions. They an
chored at noon and prepared to feast
upon a fish chowder the cook had
made, Just then a rowboat appeared,
carrying two men In rough attire.
They asked for bait, which was
promptly handed over the side, and as
they started away the hospitable cap
tain mentioned the chowdec, and in
vited the strangers to come aboard and
join the hungry company. They ac-
copied readily and ate with keen ap-
probation Of the savory dish. '"They
do say" remarked one Of the fisher
men. "that Danl Webster brags about
the chowders he makes over to Mash
field. I don't believe he could hold
candle to this one. Why, it's the best
chowder ever eat!" Daniel Webster
thinks so. tool" came in laundering
tones from the man who had borrowed
the bait. "Sure enough" says Capt.
Pratt, after series of chuckles, lit
was the great statesman sitting on q
pile of rope and holding an empty tin
plate in his hands We were all stirred
up, you better be- eve, but he enjoyed
the joke. He and I were great friends
after that, and many's the fine luck at
mackerel fishing we've had together"

evening newspaper and his whole

to Evelyn, from Evelyn to her aunt,
whilst Brown, who had sauntered on
to the edge of the terrace, started per-
ceptibly and grew white to the very
lips.
For a moment not a word was
uttered. Everybody gazed in fasci-
mated silence at the thin slip Of In

softly to and fro in her ladyship's
fingers, and then 1t was Falkland who

Howard readily. 1T Ia simply that

the first time. "And, as one of my

foolishly written my name. Evelyn

Still how are we to trace him."
The Major shrugged his shoulders.
