"AND ONE
UNKNOWN"
By JOHN ALEXANDER.

THEY had hauled him scuffiing out
of a coal bunk one morning,
where he had managed to stow him
self away, and where he had lain
curled up until the steamer was well
clear of land.
Back somewhere at one of the
South American ports-Rio, most
likely-he had sneaked on board at
dusk, and crept ratlike to the secur-
ity of the coal bunk. And now,
dragged into the light of day-or,
rather, such light as penetrated
down there into the grimy darkness
he stood and grinned like detect
ed schoolboy at the little knot of
firemen who had ferreted him out of
his retreat.
Old Peters, the boatswain, who had
gone below to investigate, pushed his
cap far back on his head, and combed
his grizzled beard with meditative
stroke of the hand as he regarded
the stowaway. What should they do
with MIN? The immortal Mr.. Dick,
If he had been present, would have
decided promptly and emphatically:
Wash him!" For he certainly need
ed it. The layer of tan which had
spread over his scraggy face was
capped by an additional film of coal

eyes, as he looked around him with
an affected easy, devil-may-care ex-
preston, were the only distinguish
IL -. l., e.
GIVE 'arf a mind to turn the 'ose
on 'im," said the boatswain, as he re-
garded the object of interest that
stood mute before him, But event
ually he decided to take his quarry
along to the captain just as he had
on deck-no, not dragged, exactly,
for there was some indefnable touch
of distinction about the man, despite
his grotesque appearance, that made
itself felt to his rough captors-and
they led him quietly, almost respect
fully, into the captains presence.
The interview turned principally
upon The unknown's ability to work
his passage, now that there was no
means of getting rid of him until
they touched at one of the West In
dian ports. On that point, the stow
away, speaking for the first time and
with eagerness, gave an ample assur-
ance. He knew all about machinery,
he said; and if they wanted an extra
hand in the engine room, why, he
was ready to turn to with oil can or
shovel that instant. His name?

mo, that is my own concern-no-
body else's. I am Welshman," he
said, quietly. "My people are well
known in Cardiff. Perhaps l could
tell tale if liked. Perhaps could
MT. 1t doesn't matter to anybody"
And he looked at the captain with
eyes that meant he had said all he
intended to say on these points.
1t so happened that they were
short handed enough in the engine
room that run, and the captain
turned him over to the burly, growl-
ing Scotch engineer, who did not
seem to regard him with any great
favor. "Taffy," as he was called, dis
appeared below, and succeeded with
in an hour in completely reversing
the engineers opinion. The latter,
who stood by to watch him, could see
with half an eye that the man was
quite at home among the throbbing,
pulsing engines, and turned away
with the growing comment: He'll
do"
They had few passengers aboard
that trip; and in the dusk of the
evening, when Taffy stole up for a
mouthful of fresh air, he noticed a
dainty little childish figure go skipping
along The deck. He stood there, with
his grimy head poked out into the
softly changing twilight, watching
her. Every time she turned and
skipped past him, his notable eyes
slowed round and followed her. And
as he gazed wistfully after the mer-
ry, innocent little creature, the ZAP
pie" in his bare throat moved as if
with gulp.
Aye, perhaps he could have told a
tale if he had chosen.
Every evening after that he slipped
away from the engine room at the
same hour, and looked anxiously out
along the deck. The child was near
ly always there. Sometimes she
smiled up at the greasy, watching
face as she went past; and Taffy car
ried that smile below with him,
wrapped up in some odd corner of
his heart.
The steamer had run into st.
Pierre, and was lying snugged up
close to the shelving beach. They
were to sail again next day, and it
was busy night on board. Cargo
had to be unloaded and fresh freight
shipped from the barges alongside.
Taffy, being an "odd man." had
been put on the donkey engine, which
ne worked steadily throughout Jne
evening. Many time, while waiting
for the word to ''heave," his eye
turned restlessly to the distant sum
init of Mont Pelee, towering high up
there in the darkling heavens. The
huge mountain was growing and
rumbling ominously, and there was a
strange, lifeless hull in the air, like
that which betokens an approaching
thunderclapp.
1t was far into the night before he
was released from his post and free
to turn in for few hours. Heavy
eyed and weary, he tumbled into his
bunk, and was soon fast asleep.
What was it that woke him? A

her, too. l saw that people watched, and
saw they pitied me; yet l was strangely
Indifferent. What l felt in secret none

And so the summer passed, and Septem-
Der approached. She would leave us in
November What had the summer brought
to me? A nameless palma Joy and sorrow
blended.
Tonight, however, had promised to take
tea at the cottage. During the evening she
played, and we sang a few duets. What q
rich, clear voice she had; how well our
voices blended (my own being fine con-
tralto) as we sang:
Gently, gently signs the breeze,
Like whisper through the trees.
Like the song of seraphs bright,
Breathing to the world goodnight, good
night!'
"Now, for coy chat" she said, rising
from the piano. She told me of the two
lovely boys laid away! in the churchyard,
of her beloved husband, loved SO dearly,
mourned so deeply, laid to rest by their
side five years ago, of the disease which
might at any moment call her to join them
in the spirit land, of the happy summer
just passed, which my friendship had glad
dened. | felt at this moment l would have
been willing to make any sacrifice to have
kept her with US. Philip came in during

She followed US to the door. Turning i'm
pulsively | threw my arms around her, and
kissed her. l had never done so before.
What prompted me to do so now? She re-
turned my embrace, exclaiming warmly:
"God bless you, darling"
Turning abruptly to Philip, she said:
Take good care of Nellie; she is treas
ure. Goodnight"
l was surprised next morning by an early
visit from Philip. He told me that Mrs. Lee
was dead; he had been sent for toward
morning, to find her dying.
We stood together, and gazed on the be-
loved dead-loyelier even in death than in
life. A perfect white full-blown rose nes-
tied in her bosom. had no need to ask
whose hand had placed it there. My own
floral gift l placed within her perfect hand.
On her dressing-table lay note directed
to me; when opened it contained draft
for $1,000, with her best love- They laid
her to rest by the side of her loved ones,

THE NEW TENANT.
BY COUSIN UNE.

There was quite stir in our quiet village
when it became known that the house cover
the way" had been rented. We prlded our
selves on having quite an aristocratlc little
neighborhood, and as there were only one
or two rented houses, we always felt anxious
about new arrival.
The new tenants were to arrive on Mon
day, and when we young folks gathered at
our usual choir practice, the matter was
fully discussed. Philip Ring, the rising M.
D., gave as his opinion that they would
be two old maids, with number OF birds
and cats. Gertie Black, with merry twin
ke in her rogush eyes, said:
Don't you wish, Nell, it may be rich
widow, with two or three handsome SONS?
What an addition they would be to oar
circlep'
L. What need | care if it were so-hadn'
l Philip? Perhaps | looked this, for they all
laughed, although / mad not spoken word

On Monday the furniture arrived, and
toward evening carriage containing two
ladies. The house was speedily put IN order,
and in weeks time the excitement had
somewhat subsidized, although no one had
as yet seen the new tenant. On Saturday
our minister called at the cottage, and on
Sunday a strange lady sat in the minis
ter's pew-a lady from the crown OF her
head to the tips of her dainty boots" You
needed only to glance at her to see this.
How beautiful she wasl |, woman, wac
ready to acknowledge it at first sight. Her
name was Mrs Lee, the ministers daugh-
ter informed just the name which suited
this lovely widow About 40, should judge,
as / studied her sitting in church thus Sab
bath morning Such glorious dark blue
eyes, delicate white skin, with just the
faintest pink on either cheek, reminding one
of the heart OF shell; mouth and chin
faultless; rather small and slender; the
turn OF her head was perfection itself.
l had just arrived at this conclusion as the
benediction was pronounced, and aWoke as
from delicious dream. What was this love
ly young widow to me, that l shSuld make
study of her!
Mamma and l called, and learned during
our visit that Mrs. Lee had sought our
quiet village for change OF air. We We're
introduced to her aunt, an elderly lady,
who took charge OF the little household,
leaving her niece to perfect quiet and rest,

and how often did | find myself running
over during the summer that followed.
A few days after my first call, was sur
prised to see Philip open the little gate
that led to the cottage, and, after ringing
the door bell, be instantly admitted. Later
in the day he told me Mrs. Lee was very ill,
not dangerously so, but with one OF her
old attacks.
