A strange smile came over the face

the cask into the water and assisted

it.
Don't think I'm a fool, Mr.. Vane,"
said Will. IF lived a thousand years

The Gray Eagle went on her course,
parting the waves of the Indian ocean.
She was a packet steamer in the en-
ploy of great English company and
carried many passengers. Among these.
standing on the promenade deck for
ward and looking across the broad
beautiful girl, in the flush of her youth
and beauty.
In the wheelhouse stood a young
man, second mate of the ship, looking
at Mabel Vane. He was young, with
a bold, manly face, curling brown hair
and beard and speaking gray eyes-a
man in grace of person, manly beauty
and pure heart-a man worthy of the
name. He was only a sailor and had
risen to his present rank from cabin
boy, but yet he dared to love the
daughter of the East Indian million
aire, Arthur Vane.
He loved her and had no hope-loved
her as we worship a star which is far
beyond our reach. Nothing was further
from his thoughts than to insult her
by telling her that he loved her. But
to be near her, to see her often, per-
haps to do some service which would
win a smile from her-that was re-
ward enough for Will Clay.
She never dreamed of his alteration,
and he had heard her say among her
friends that she liked him better than
any other officer on board the Gray
Eagle. She said it in the careless way
of girlhood, and yet he treasured it in
his heart. Standing there watching
the course of the ship and ready to
give word of warning to the wheels
man if it were needed, he never took
his eyes from her long.
"Mr. Clay" said the man at the
wheel as he gave it half turn and
f6sted there, don't you smell smoker"
ut comes from the galley"
'Perhaps SO, but what are they burn
ing rosin in the galley for?'
iosin!' cried Will, raising his head
quickly and snufing the air. He caught
the peculiar smell himself and leaped
down from the wheelhouse. Keep
steady" he whispered to the man at
the wheel. '"There may be danger, but
if there is, for Gods sake, keep it
quiet"
The man nodded quietly and took a
irmer hold on the wheel. Will Clay
crossed the deck without apparent
haste and vet with a fearful fear tug

ging at his heart. He caught sight OF
the captain coming out of the gentle
mems cabin and hurried up to him.
'There is something wrong" he
whispered. Don't you smell burning
rosin, captain?"
! The old sea captain suppressed cry
Of horror. With SO passengers on
board in the midst Of the Indian ocean,
tar from land, fire was one of the
most horrible things which could come
upon ship.
"Go forward and investigate" he
said in low tone. eff you find that it
is fire, you know what to do. How
are the boats?"
"All right, sir. You may trust to
them"
They had good cause for fear. The
entire forehold was filed with rosin, in
boxes and casks, and if a fire started
there it might as well be in a nest of
fat pine. Will ran down to the lower
deck, where he was met by a crowd Of
excited fremen and coal passers, who
were rushing madly on deck. Quick as
thought he seized the foremost and
hurled him back.
"Go back, you fools~ he cried.
where are you running to?'
'Firer' whispered the man hoarseIy.
"F'ire in the foreholdp'
Suppose there is. Is it your duty to
rush On deck and alarm the passengers
or get buckets and try to put out the
fire? Back. there, all of you, for will
brain the man who dares to finch a
hair now! Stand back, say!'
The men cowed before his superior
will and saw that they might yet do
something to save the steamer.
A guard was placed at the hatch, so
that no one could come down, and the
scuttle which led into the forehold was
opened. No sooner was this done than
a dense volume of black smoke rolled
out, and the scuttle was closed again,
for Will saw that nothing could be
done in that way The men ran for
ward with axes, but had scarcely gone
a dozen steps when they felt the deck
tremble under their feet and saw small
jets of fame shooting up through the
planks. A moment more and there was
a sort of explosion, and the red fame
leaped up suddenly and caught the
plaDks above.
There was no hope of concealing the
danger from the passengers now. for
the steamer was full of smoke, and
wild cries from the deck announced
that the danger was known. They
must face the most terrible situation
known to the sea, the one of all others
the most feared-fire! Women shrek
ed and tainted, strong men trembled
and could not move hand or foot, and
others ran wildly about the decks rem
dering no assistance. Mabel Vane, ut
terly bewildered by the sudden horror,
felt a strong hand clutch her arm and /
saw Will Clay, blackened by smoke
and singed by fame.
eco aftv' he said hOarsely. Stand |
on the port quarter and wait for me, |
and will save you or die trying Obey
me, girl; am your master now"
She looked at him in mute wonder |
and obeyed him in silence. He sprang
away and began to fight the fire as he
could, aided by the officers and crew
and some few of the passengers who
kept their heads. Among these was
Arthur Yane, handsome old gentle
man with an engaging face.
"You are a man, William Clay" he
said as the two hurled the contents of
a great water cask down the open

FORTUNE TELLING BY Adopts
There IL q Movement AfO0t to Abolish
the Growing Evil In
Paris.

In accordance with a recommf nha.
ton made in recent report of the pre-
lecture of police in Paris, extraor-
binary measures will shortly be taken
to suppress 1.-THE social evil Of fortune
telling" says the New York Times. Ac-
cording to the report there are over
1000 persons in Paris who male an ex-
ceIlent living by telling fortunes by
cards. They dress in the most fash
ionable style and have apartments
fitted up like those of prosperous dent
lists or physicians.
There are no theatrical surroundings
or mysterious appliances. tits said that
the advance of science has caused the
fortune teller to discard the weird and
magical features that were formerly
identified with his profession, while
his success has seemed to augment for
the same reason The fees rum from
a franc or two to several hundred.
The grave danger to society in these
fortune-tellers, the report points out,
is not owing to the fact that "they de-
ceive persons, who, indeed, would de-
sire to be deceived brr that soon or
late they become blackmailers. which
is "their actual. although hidden, char
acter from the first"

something Of a Twister.

The Ashley cyclone. of which men,
tion was made last week, was not very
extensive, it's path being narrow and
short, but it did considerable damage.
1t is thought that fortunately it did
not descend low enough to do much
damage as is indicated by the fact that
it stripped the to off the growing
corn on the farm of John Gray, as
clean as though cut with a knife-its
path being but a few feet wide through
the field. The machinery shed of Mr..
Gray was carried away and the lumber
composing it completely splintered
His wheat stacks were torn in pieces
and the bundles scattered everywhere.
The Ashley church was moved about
eight inches on its stone foundation,
and strangely enoughthe building was
not injured-the plaster not cracked,
other stacks than those of Mr.. Gray
we're blown down, but the principal
damage was just at Mr.. Gray's place.
