THE FIGHTING MATE.
Decisive Action of u PIeasant-Fnced
Sailor at Critical Mo-
ment.

A ship at sea is an isolated world.
Not only does the little floating vii
lage depend on the stoutness of the
planks beneath it, but the safety and
comfort of those on board depend on
obedience to intelligent orders. The
man who rules must rule often, as
does a chieftain of a half-savage
tribe, by physical force. Mr.. Frank
r. Bullen, author of "The Men of the
Merchant Service" is no advocate of
violence on the part of officers, but,
as he explains, if there is no weight
of force behind an order, men will
always be found who will disobey.
One of Mr.. Bullen's earliest recollec-
tions of sailor life is of an incident
on board the East Lothian.
"The men had been demOralized by
a cowardly second mate who was
finally discharged at Bombay. His
successor was a splendid specimen of
a seaman, not too tall, finely proper
toned, and Of very pleasant face.
"The first morning he was on board
we were washing decks. Mr.. Eaton,
the new second mate, was having a
look round the ship, and stayed for
ward, where two men were passing
water out of the big washdeck tub.
AS Mr.. Eaton passed, one of them,
oarelessly singing a bucket toward

There was smother and somewhat

There was smother and somewhat
longer pause.
"You did not hear whether he had
any precious stones in his posses
sion?"
"Good gracious, no! From what
they told me I gathered that the man
hadn't a halfpenny in the world.
Why should he have been likely to
have had jewels? In point of fact
I'm sure he hadn't, for l was given
to understand he was about as woe
begone a customer as could be found
anywhere"
The blind man uttered a heavy sigh
and sank back to his former position
upon the ground.
An hour and a half later, just as
the shadows of evening were drawing
in, party of Sikhs put in an appear
ance, bringing with them a dhooly,
in which they placed the injured man,
1t was almost dark when they
reached the station, where Grant
hams superior officer was awaiting
their coming.
"What on earth's the meaning of
this?" he asked, as the cortege drew
up before the bungalow. "Who are
these men? And where did you find
them?"
Grantham made his report, and
then the wounded man was lifted
out and carried to a hut at the rear
of the main block of buildings. The
little man watched everything with
an eagle eye, as if he were afraid
some evil might be practiced upon his
companion. When the blind man had
been placed on a bed, and his foot at
tended to as well as the rough sur
gerry of the place would admit, Grant
ham did something he had not al
ready done, and that was to ask them
their names.
"My name is Kitwater," said the
blind man, "and the name of my
friend here is Codd-Septimus Codd.
He's one of the best and stanchest
little fellows in the world. l don't
know whether our names will con-
vey much to you, but such as they
are you are welcome to them. As
matter of fact, they are all we have
with which to requite your hospi-
tality."
Why it should have been so I can
not say, but it was evident from the
first that Capt. Handiman did not be-
lieve the account the refugees gave of
themselves. He was one of that pc
culiar description of persons who
have an idea that it adds to their dig
nifty not to believe anything that is
told them, and he certainly acted up
to it on every possible occasion.

Knew Too Much.

A young man employed in an oys-
ter shop has lost his situation, and
this because he gave prompt answer
to his employers eager question.
The employer had six lively little land
turtles, which attracted much atten-
ton as they wandered aimlessly
about the window. He painted a
large white letter on the back of
each of the shells, and put up a no.
tice to the effect that, whenever the
turtles got into such relative posi-
tions that the letters spelled "oys-
ter" he would present half dozen
natives to everyone who was looking
on. Then he became frightened lest
the mystic word should occur too
often, and covered reams of paper
figuring out the odds. He gave it up
at last, and was about to remove the
turtles when his most accomplished
OYSTER opener informed him that the
odds were 720 to 1 against the COM
bination. The turtles are still in the
window, but the oyster opener has
gone. Such knowledge of odds, the
employer thought. could have been
acquired only by years of betting ex-
perience. 1t is not wise to be too
wise.-London Chronicle.

CRUSHED BY BERNHARDT.
How the Famous French Woman
Discounted n Persistent
Artist.

When Nine. Sarah Bernhard was
in one of our western cities a few
years ago an artist eXasperated her
by persistent invitations to visit his
studio to see a portrait of herself,
relates the Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post. He had made it, he
said, from a painting which he had
seen and studied in Paris some time
before.
Finally, after repeated urging on
his part, she went to the studio.
Standing before the canvas she sim
ulated the keenest rapture as she
looked at the portrait, and she COM
plimented the man in eXtravagant
French.
,"It is beautiful, grand" she de-
clared. 'It is magnificent" Then
suddenly, to the utter discontinue of
the persistent artist, she added:
And of whom, pray tell me, sir,
is this a portrait?"
One of Nine. Bernhardt's best por-
traits was painted by NJ. de Gandara.
The actress had come to his studio
to make the preliminary arrange
ments. AS she was leaving she half
turned at the doorway to make her
adieus and unconsciously fell into
an admirable pose, of which the art
ist took immediate advantage.

Treat II as a loan il you like. You
can return it to me when you are in
better circumstances. l assure you
we don't want it. We can't spend
money out here"
Little did he imagine when he made
that offer, the immense wealth which
the other carried in the belt that en-
circled his waist. Needless to say,
Hayle said nothing to him upon the
subject. He merely pocketed the
check with an expression of his graf
itude, promising to repay it as soon
as he reached London. AS a matter
of fact he did so, and to this day, l
have no doubt, Gregory regards him
as a man of the most scrupulous and
unusual integrity.
Two days later the wanderer
reached Bhamo, that important mill
tary post on the sluggish Irrawaddy.
His appearance, thanks to Gregory's
and Dempsey's kind offices, was now
sufficiently conventional to attract
little or no attention, so he negoti-
ated the captains check, fitted him
self out with a few other things that
he required, and then set off for Man
dalay. From Mandalay he proceeded
as fast as steam could take him to
Rangoon, where. after the exercise
of some diplomacy, he secured pas
sage aboard tramp steamer bound
for England.
When the Shweydagon was lost in
the evening mist, and the steamer
had made her way slowly down the
sluggish stream with the rice-felds
on either side, Hayle went aft and
took his last look at the land to
which he was Saying good-by.
"a quarter of million if a half
penny" he said, "and as soon as they
are sold and the money is in my
hands, the leaf shall be turned, and
my life for the future shall be all
spectability."

the other, dropped it and cut the deck
badly with its edge. With glance at
the new officer, he burst out into
furious cursing at the other man for
not catching it. Mr.. Eaton turned
quietly to him and said:
eff you don't shut that foul head
up, I'll shut it for you'
"The man, a huge New York nom
descript, deceived by Mr.. Eaton's
pleasant look, strobe up to him,
swearing horribly and threatening to
kill him. For answer the second mate
leaped at him and seized him by the
throat and waistband, and the next
minute he was flying over the rail
into the sea.
"Mr. Eaton turned swiftly, and was
just in time to catch the other man
in mid-rush at him with a squarely
planted blow on the chin, which land
ed him a clucking heap in the Soup
pers.
by this time the other men had
seen the fray and rushed forward,
shouting: Kill him' Presently
Eaton was the center of a bowling
gang threatening his life. But he
armed himself with a norman, a
handy iron bar from the windlass,
and none of them dared face him
with that terrible weapon. The
skipper and the first mate came rush
ing forward, and ranged themselves
by the side of the second mate. In
two minutes the whole tone of the
ship was altered. 1t was never again
necessary to resort to violence"

UnexDected Erudition,

An absent-minded professor of lam
guages dropped into restaurant one
day for luncheon.
"What will you have, sir?" asked the
waiter.
"Fried eggs" replied the professor.
"Over?" said the waiter, meaning, of
course, to ask neither he wanted them
cooked on both sides or only one.
"Ova?" echoed the professor, sur
prised at his apparent familiarity with
Latin. "Certainly. That is what l or
dered. Ova gallinae."
This the waiter interpreted as mean
ing extra well DONE" and that is the
way they came to the table.
