They had not been more than six hours
in tow before no less than a half dozen
steamers came out of the southern hori-
zon and passed into the north. Bennett, on
the bridge watched them with giowering
and hungry eyes. and as they passed ours
ed the folly that led him to accept assist
ance in such haste. Here. from this host
of vessels, he could have chosen a most
respectable tow with $500 as limit, and
Matthew Walker was the maZ to know it.

paying such an eXtraVagant sum as &Su

Jameson for sympathy, and confided to
him his thoughts. The engineer became
quite hearty. Friends in distress make
sorrow the less he said. He even grin
ningly asked Bennett for the promise of a
chiefs job in the Miltiades when he
should take her over, and tried to bargain
for ELS a month wages Indeed, he seem
ed to take heart, induced perhaps by the
motto, and worked so spiritedly at his
engines that the shaft was fitted and had
taken half dozen turns to his complete
satisfaction the day after the Miltiades
took the Tudor in hand. Bennett received
this piece of news very gloomily; he saw
in ii another nail in his half sealed coffin.
Again he cursed the steamer that had
picked him out of the frying pan and hove
him at his own request into the fire. He re-
monstrated with Jameson.
Look here. he said heatedly, why
didn't you tell me the job could have been
patched so quickly? Surely you must have
known?"
Jameson smiled gently, while the greasy
wrinkles on his face shone in sympathy
and dirt.
Didn't" he replied; land it's no mat
ter-is it? The owner can't blame you for
doing the best in his interest. You have
my word | couldn't promise"
Fun well he knew that the Tudor's own
er was not the man TO take abstract con-
ciusions, however good, into account in
Bennets defence, while the gross res0ltS
OF the voyage came dangerously near
comparative loss instead of affluent profit.
He was not a being of that sort. He would
rate the employees worth not according to
his moral or intellectual ability, but sole
ly in consonance with his capacity for in
creasing, and on occasions multiplying
the Tudor > eXchequer. The denouement
of the affaire de Tudor came unpleasantly
before Bennett g mind and he produced
the effect in words.
We'll, it's all up" said the latter mood

It's an almighty pickle" muttered Ben
net for the Miltiades' skipper had struck
home. The Tudor's cargo of sixty thou
sand cases of oranges was worth $1,000
to the owner. But this was the point: If
Bennett refused tow and landed bad
cargo through delay caused by his brok
en- shaft, he would get the blame and a
permanent holiday; on the other hand,
accepting assistance and arriving home
with clean cargo, he might be able to
dispense with the holiday and keep his
job. Still, the coup was very, very
doubtful. The sword of Damocles could
not be held by finer hair
Bennet signaled TO Jameson who stood
bersath the bridge coolly grinning, and
when he reached the top of the ladder
the skipper ardently exhorted him to
promise steam in twelve hours, or even
twenty. But the engineer would not make
any promises He did not see why he
should kill himself with work to save an
other mans neck, and said aloud some
thing about more jobs than church stee-
pies. AT this Bennett spouted up an in
disestibe adjective and treated the en-
gineer to many vivid and lightning-like
prayers concerning rotten engines and
unlucky tramp steamboat shippers
Jameson did not resent the language
On the contrary. it gave him a twinge of
satisfaction and he dropped a remark
about being in the same box" which
lnsinuation brought wildly to Bennets
mind visions of tramping Mosley Street
and Quayside in Geordie Lana, and Wa
ter street in Liverpool, looking fIr a ship,
armed with thick-soled boots and much
strong language, and a few small pence
borrowed from a hard-up landlady to buy
biscuits and beer. 1t was In the middle
OF these bad dreams that the Miltiades'
skipper impatiently hailed the bridge of
the Tudor.
My old steamboat amt going to wait
mere all night for your coffee mill, capin."
he roared, giving at the same time his
engines a touch ahead and sheering his
decision?"
Three hundred and ffty," answered
Bennet, nervously
Thank'ee very much" came the mock
ing reply. Then the oranges will be per-
fectly rotten before they gets ONE if
you wait for my services. Goodnight" D"
and he put his hand to the telegraph.
-Four hundred" shouted Bennet, des
perateiy Come, that's fair and square
price"

sarcastically. It's simply monstrous;
and you'd better eat your oranges rath-
er than chuck EN- away"
Before he had finished speaking his pro-
pelier was churning the blue water astern

Bennet pointed to fiery glow on the
bow, where a mass of clouds banked
heavily below the falling sun; and the
purple tinge of the promising storm came
over the fat seas and sighed TO him a
melody of satisfaction and a hundred or
so OF weather cash into the pocket OF
Matthew Walker. of Newcastle.
He rang up his engines with a swift
hand and grinned at the telegraph face.
The reply had but "tringed tringed from

CFrom the Boston Transcript }


The Board of Ordnance and Fortihca-
ton of the United States Army is said to
be considering the subject of motors for
gun carriages on which the artillery
would be propelled over field by cleo
tricity instead of by horses. In course OF
time the pomp and circumstances will be-
entirely eliminated from the profession of
arms, and battles will be fought and de-
cided without more appeal to the senses
than obtains in the most common opera
ton of peaceful industry of the common
est piece of machinery. In the evoIu-
tions of the red artillery upon the field
of battle there is a splendid intoxicatiOn
which perhaps is as effective as an ex-
hilerant to action upon one side as il is
cause Of demOrali liZatien upon the other,
but without the horses and the war
drunken drivers swiriing their black
whips in the air field artillery would be
tame and spiritiess. Ii would be d death
blow TO the sensuous glory of war to sub
stitute machinery for horses or il would
certainly have that tendency. But there
Is one thing TO take into consideration,
and the one thing most important of all:
the more mechanical and unromantic war
becomes the sooner Will it cease to be.
