the pilot who would take the vessel
into port.
We were in the middle of the Allan

quented the smoking cabin had become
well acquainted. There was a more
inveterate set of gamblers aboard than
usual. We not only bet on the daily
run Of the ship, the weather and all
that but would conjure up all sorts of
disputes on which to stake our money.
There was one man who always
smoked with us who could not be in
duced to gamble, clean shaved,
smooth looking young fellow in specta-
cles. Somebody said that he was a
Princeton divinity student, but that
WAS not substantiated. Seeing that he
was not Of the betting kind, we all let
him alone, except a fellow named
Ashurst, coarse, Ill favored man
whom none Of us liked and whose alb

man who declined to bet. 'I'll bet you
$40 to cent that we don't see another

4 cloud in the sky tomorrow at eight
bells noon"
Il never bet" said Mr.. Tillotson.

for the party"
well, then, for once, for the sake
OF the party, I'll go you. I'll bet you
$500 even that before we sight Fire

Every man present took his cigar out
OF his mouth and looked at the speak

Aed and forbidding man commanding
any OF the great liners, tyrant to his
men and irascible with his passengers.
Il can do that myself" said Ashurst,

Cloud OF smoke, showing by his express
sion both a desire to possess himself
of Tillotson's money and caution les
he should be outwitted. The lattel
prevailed.
"Oh. there's some guy in that. It'll
not legitimate subject for bet"
"See him crawfsh." remarked one
of the smokers. 81 knew he'd back out
If any one faced him."
"Why, Ashurst," said another, "he's
sure to be pitched overheard, and
| you'll take in the $500"
Thus badgered on the one hand and
encouraged on the other, Ashurst be-
gan to give way.
"Will you all see that there's no
catch in the matter" he asked the
party; that he really pulls the cap
tain's nose?'
eve willw shouted every man.
"Where and when will you do itr'
asked Ashurst
when and where l like"
"Who's to witness it?"
ANY or every man here, including
yourself. I'll notify you in time to be
present"
"And if the captain knocks you
DOWN."
'If he objects in any way whatever,
the money is yours"
Ashurst was an avaricious man, and
the chance Of winning the money was
drawing him far more than the chatting
OF the party was driving him. He sat,
putting vigorously, trying to think Of
some way by which Tillotson could
win, but as no way appeared to him
he finally determined to take the risk.
The money was put up in the hands
OF passenger, a man named Gerkin,
who had never been in the smoking
cabin and was supposed to be entirely
unprecedented. The terms of the bet
pledged to secrecy. Every man gave
his word to refrain from any collision
with the captain. In short, every care
was taken that the wager should be
fair for both parties. The stakes were
not to be turned over to either without
the unanimous vote Of every smoker
present when the bet was made, an
even number, Gerkin to cast the de, |
Gliding vote.
The day passed without any molesta-
ton of the captain. The weather was
stormy, and he rarely left the bridge.

job where all can see it." said a
smoker.
No need of that" replied Tillotson.

The next morning was serene, and !

Serkin to assemble in the smoking

him. He led the way to the barber
hop. There, reclining on a chair, his
ace covered with lather. sleeping for
he first time in forty-eight hours, was
he captain. Over him, in a BARRIERS
white Jacket, stood Tillotson, shaving
him. When the smokers appeared, Til
olson took the commanders nose be-
'ween his fingers and gave it a strong
pull. Its owner was too sleepy after
MS long watch even to waken, nor did

effect that the Dewey stamp mill
would not be shipped until another

The mine is bonanza and the
owners know it or they would not

IT am credibly informed that he Is
friendly to organized labor. AS an

when labor organizations are fair
