I Ierer more Dy gong Inan Dy refusing.
While the boat was being made ready
l slipped down to my stateroom after
matches, knife, some fishhooks and
other things and upon returning to the
deck found that the captain had pro-
vided the lad with about ten pounds of
hard bread, the same Of pork and an
old kettle. He, refused him matches,
however, and twas atlucky thing that
l had brought three or four dozen
along. The lad made no fuss about go
ing, although he knew that he was to
be set ashore on a lonely island. Il
know he was in deadly fear Of the cap
tain and mate and to escape them in
any manner was a relief On the way
to shore advised him as best could,
and the men at the oars were not back
ward in expressing their sympathy;
and when we left Joey on the beach
be was feeling quite stout hearted. a.
What happened to that lad after We
sailed away reads like romance, he
had been marooned on one of the most
easternmost OF tt1e-grapn. and perhaps
the island had never been explored by
white men. It was three. miles long,
by two broad, with ridge running its
length. Indeed, there were two ridges,
and between them was a creek run
ming to the north Acts mouth. this
creek w1dened into a little hafboR.
The boy had been on the island for q
week before he climbed the ridges and
found them FUN Of living springs
which fed the creek. He followed the
creek down to its mouth and there
made the strongest OF finds. Three
years previously while on a voyage
from Bombay to Liverpool, the bark
Sunshine had been dismagted at sea
and deserted by her crew for q wreck.
She was laden with wool hides, dye
woods and Minerals and her cargo
was appraised at nearly q million dol
lars Her crew had been picked up at
sea, the vessel listed as lost and the In
srfance paid, and yet ais Joey reached
the little harbor there was the hull OF
the Sunshine with her nose on the
beach. Wind, wave and current had
dTifted her all Of 100. miles and finally
whirled her into that spot. e Her hull
was sound and her matches on, and her
cargo had not been damaged 20 the
amount of hundred dollars. e
Three weeks later the boy's signal
smoke on the beach brought q vessel
to- his rescue, and he said not a. word
Of his dnd TIL he reached Bombay and
round men IN whom he could trust |
Then an expedition was fitted out, tne'l
hun and cargo were got to Bombay fl
safety, and the courts allowed the Oby1
salvage enough to make him rfch TO
the end Of his days. In mar oning q
poor stowaway lad Whose only crime
was wanting to return to his native
hand Captain joyce had as good as
thrown 100000 at him and raised him
up q thousand friends. 3}f1 '4ies5

age came down TO the craft and en-
deavored to ship as cabin boy, assist

He was an English lad who had run
away from home and wanted to get
back. He was frank spoken, had an
honest. innocent face, and i. was glad
to heip him 60 an interview with the
captain. Il did him no good, however.
Captain Joyce was selfish, hard heart
ed man, and he not only refused the
lad the place he could easily have made
fog him. but cursed him Boundly for
having dared to CONC aboard. I felt
sorry for the boy and slipped him q
crown and when he went over the

Philadelphia, April 2.-Pelting sparrows

trolley tracks for cars to flatten out, cram
ming their stomachs with candy and taking
trolley and steam car rides, gang Of tiny
burglars of Camden managed to get rid OF

Three of the boys. William Favor. John
Petit and Frank Toy. aged respectively ..

robbing the provision store OF Edward
Schuster and stealing the money. Before
Justice Stackhouse the youthful cnlprits
tearfully confessed their guilt and narrated
the details of the robbery.

was planned during Monday afternoon, and
as soon as the store had been closed, at 3
o'clock, they started to carry it into execu-
ton. On the way they met Joseph Nc
Toy, aged IA years. to whom they confided
their project, and with whom they subse-
Quently shared a portion of the stolen
money.
Aware that the day and night shifts OF
police would be changing at that hour.
and that the vicinity of the store would
be full OF bluecoats. with all the shrewdness
Of veteran cracksmen the boys placed pick
cts on guard, one being stationed on the

roof of the store building, while the other
two effected an entrance through window
and then descenued to the storeroom, on
the first floor. Here they discovered a draw

they took only $l2o, thinking that amount
sufficient.
Joining their confederates on the outside.
the boys proceeded to divide the booty, after
which the quartet started out to hunt some
of their young associates, among whom
they distributed a portion OF tneir li-EoIten
wealth.

Ella Mishow, Mabel Shaffer and Rose and
Emma ellison, ranging in age from II to 20

way lay over the Maynard street bridge, a
remote and rather unfrequented route. along
which there are no lights. When half way
across the bridge they were accosted by two
men. who attempted to embrace and kiss
Miss Mishow and one of the ellison sisters.
In the scuffe that ensued the girls UNI
brellas were broken and their hats knocked
awry.
The men renewed their attempt to steal
osculatory sweets, when on OF the girls
shouted: Use your hatpins"
In another instant the quartet Of young
women were after the masners, each armed
with a long steel pin: The men ran, but
they were not fast enough, and the girls
jabbed them until they begged for mercy.
After a stormy tongue-lashing, they were
