for l was ready to bar his flight,
wherefore his shoulders became round
ed and his head hung down and his
knees trembled. Samuel Semple was
caught in trap. Some young fellows
would have made fight of 1t, but not
Samuel. All he thought about was
submission and nonresistance, which
might provoke pity.
"Three times, jackanapes, hast thou
presumed to send stuff to my ward.
Here they are" He took from me the
last sheet of doggerel verse and drew
from his pocket two more. Here they
are-one, two, three-all addressed to
the matchless Molly. Why, thou i'm
pudent villain, what devil prompted
thee to call her matchless Molly?
Matchless to such as you. Take that,
sirrah, and that!' They were laid on
with a will. The poet groaned, but
made no reply, again looking vainly to
right and left for some way of escape.
The basting which followed was real
ly worthy of the days when Captain
Crowle with his own hand quelled a
mutiny and drove the whole crew un-
der matches.
1t was poor, shrinking, trembling

pains that presently arose and SUNK

him had he taken punishment like n
man. Why, would maroon any of my
crew who would cry and grovel and
SWIVEL when tied up for his three dozen.
1t made one sick and ashamed to see
him and to hear him, with his Mercy,
captain! Oh, enough, good captain!
oh, captain, confess! deserve 1t all.
Never again, captain. Oh, forgiveness,
forgiveness" and so on. say 1t made
me sick and ashamed. When all was
over, followed him to the garden
gate. "Oh, Jack" he groaned, you
stood by and saw 1t all! l am n dead
man. He shall be hanged for it. You
are the witness. l am nothing but n

nate, murdered man. l am done 10

You cry like whipped cur. Murder
ed? Not you. Cudgeled you are, and
well you deserved it. Go home and
get brown paper and vinegar and tell
all the town how you have been cudg-
eled for writing verses to matchless
maid. They will laugh, Sam Semple.
They will laugh"
The captain went back to the parlor
somewhat flushed with the exercise.
Justice" he said, has been done
without the cart and the cat. My pipe,
Jennifer, and the home brewed. Mol
ly, my dear, your very good health"
A day or two afterward we heard
that Sam Semple had gone to London
to make his fortune. He was carried
thither by the wagon that once week
makes the journey to London, return
Ing the following week. But when
Sam Semple came back it was in a
chaise, with much splendor, as In due
course you shall hear. You shall also
hear of the singular gratitude with
which he repaid the captain for that
wholesome correction.

Old Hing 0sorEe Coin Found In Knos-

Walter Cheatham, an employee Of the
city stables, has had the good fortune
to find a very old coin Of the realm OF
Great Britain In a trash pile, says the
knoxville Journal and Tribune. the
coin is of the same size as an Ameri-
can dollar and weighs Just the same.
Walter did not realize that the coin
might nave IA big price offered for 1t.
and while showing 1t TO STAPLE Bos.
William keilar, asked that Official
what he would give for the coin. Mr..
Kellar does not know the value of old
coins, and offered ten cents. Mr..
Cheatham declined and Mr.. kellar
profrered twenty-five cents and the
bargain was struck. Mr.. Kellar de-
cided he would keep the coin as a rare
novel keepsake, but now he would
probably refuse an offer Of $500 for 1t.
pending a thorough investigation OF Its
value to npmismatic collectors. On
yesterday Mr.. Cheatham returned to
Mr.. Kellar and tried to buy back the
coin for a quarter Of a dollar. Mr..
Kellsr refused. but jQkinsly said he
would take IS for It. Cheatham was
about to take him at his word. when
Mr.. Kellar said he intended to keep the
coin. Its owner was thon inform'd
that according TO a coin collectors

| quoted as being worth $500. The coin
Is much worn and the date IL efaced.
