THE SUN COMES PeePlN' 1HRo.

How 1 love the dear old hayn1ow
And the perfume of the hay,
And to listen to the sparrows
In the rafters hard at play;
AND to watch the dancing dust notes,
Sometimes yellow, sometimes blue,
Hurrying out the little knot hole
Where the sun comes peepin through:
And to hear the cattle munching
In the comfortable stall,
And to see the calves a romping,
Now and then to hear them bawl
Ihen to see the mother coming
With willow switch or shoe
AND watch her through the knot hole
Where the sun comes peepin' through!
Then to tread the horseless thrasher,
And turn the tanning MILL
And climb up to the pigeon nests
And sit there awful still:
Then spy the folks upon the porch,
And wish they only knew
knot hole
Where the sun comes peepin' through!
How 1 wish I could live over
Those scenes which come to me,
Through the long and winding alley
or my clouded memory;
And hear the voice of dear mother,
With tenderness so true
And watch her through the knot hole
Where the sun comes peepin through!

these required little or no attention,
Mr.. Chalmers had not made public
ms suspicious concerning Hestor's
wall street operations, neither had
any statement been made by Mr..
Morton or others. Sidney found
record of the various transactions in
a safety deposit vault. He then
called on Street & Rogers and pre-
scented his credentials. Their books
showed that Walter b. Hestor had
credit of $32,OOO,oOO. He had orig
inally purchased 100000 shares of
stock, and had issued instructions
which had been strictly carried out.
The money was due from various
banks, trust companies, commission
and brokerage houses. Street &
Rogers had decided not to force pay
ments, fearing to disturb the money
market. Mr.. Hammond indorsed this
course and instructed them to grad
ually convert the credits into inter-
est-bearing securities.
Thus it happened, one fine Septem-
Der afternoon, that the steam yacht
SHARK" sailed down the river from
New Orleans, destined for the wa
tiers of the South Pacific. On board
were Walter B. Hcstor, Sidney Ham
mond, L. Sylvester Vincent and Ber-
nard Seymour. Mr.. Vincent and Mr..
Seymour were present at Mr.. Ham
mond's invitation, and Hestor was
delighted with his new acquaintance.
Vincent had wonderful venture on
hand which demanded his presence
in southern waters, and Mr.. Seymour
proposed to gather the materials for
book, which, he asserted, "would
make them all sit up nights And
on the deck of the SHARK" with
Capt. Waters once more in command,
this narrative will leave them.
The later events in the lives of
these characters must be relocated
to some future chapters. 1t may
be said in closing that the doors of
the Carmody mansion were not
closed to Mr.. William Chalmers, man

BIRD THAT TENDS FLOCK.
Demonstrated Becomes
Useful Servant.

The natives of Venezuela and adj
joining countries on the north side Of
the river Amazon often avail them
selves Of the services Of the native
crane to care of their poultry, and also
use it in the place of collie or shep-
herd dog, to guard and herd their do
nestle animals. This remarkable
bird, which the Indians call yakamik,
Is found in wild state in the great
forests that lie between the northern
coasts Of South America and the ANA
zon river, particularly in Venezuela
and British Guiana. The birds never
leave the forests unless shot or cap
tured.
They travel about in flocks of from
100 to 200, in search of the berries,
fruits, an insects upon which they
subsist. Their usual gait is slow and
stately march, but they enliven them
selves from time to time by leaping up
in the air, executing eccentric and
fancy waltzes, and striking the most
absurd and preposterous attitudes. If
pursued, they endeavor to save them
selves by running, for their flight is so
weak, according to Schomburg, that
when they attempt to fly over body
of water of any considerable width
they are often compelled to drop upon
1t and save themselves by swimming.
When alarmed, they utter the pecu-
liar cry which has obtained for them
the name of trumpeters. The sound is
something like that produced by per-
son endeavoring to shout the syllables
tow, tow, tow, tow, tow, tow with
his mouth shut, or the doleful noise
made by children on New Years day
with their trumpets. The yakamiks
usually deposit their eggs in a hollow
in the ground, often at the foot of
tree.
A nest generally contains ten eggs
of pale green color. The young birds
follow their mothers as soon as they
are Matched, but do not lose their
pretty downy covering until several
weeks old. The yakamiks are very
readily tanned and prove valuable SER
wants to the Indians, who domesticate
them. and as they are courageous, and
will protect animals intrusted to their

dogs are obliged to yield to their au-
thority.
They may be trusted with the care
OF flock of sheep or domestic fowls,
and every morning will drive the
ducks and poultry to their feeding
places, and carefully collecting any
stragglers, bring them safely home at
night. A yakamik soon learns to know
and obey the voice of his master, fol-
lows him when permitted wherever he
goes, and appears delighted at receiv-
ing his caresses. 1t pines at his abb
sence, and welcomes his return, and is
extremely jealous of any rival. Should
any animal attack its master, the va
kamik in utmost fury attacks 1t with
wings and beak, driving it away.
1t presents itself regularly during
meals, from which it chases all do
nestle animals, and even the negroes
who wait on the table. if 1t is not we'll
acquainted with them. and only asks
for share Of the eatables after it has
driven away all who might aspire to a
favorable notice from the family.

ishment. Sidney agreed to obtain
bail for him, and for the other officers
of the shark" On Monday bail
was fixed at $4,000 for Capt. Waters,
and at $1,000 each for the arrested
officers. Mr. Hammond furnished
the necessary securities and was ac-
cepted as bondsman. For time Capt.
Waters refused to accept bail. He
preferred to stand punishment. Sid
ney argued with him for long
time. He explained that it might be
months before trial would be held.
Capt. Waters finally consented to ac-
cept bail. He went to a hotel near
the Jail, and reported regularly three
times u day at police headquarters
No argument could convince him that
this was not the right thing to do.
Col. John Mcintyre was the sole
passenger on the Helen Carmody"
when she steamed past the forts and
out into the Gulf of Mexico. In his
big leather pocietbooll was a check
bearing the signature of Andrus
Carmody. The amount was entirely
satisfactory to Col Mcintyre.
The homecoming of the marooned
miliiOnaireS was an event never to
be forgotten by those who partici-
pated in or witnessed it. 1t began
at New Orleans. A special train from
New York, containing hundreds of
relatives and friends dashed into
the Crescent city early the following
morning. Those who have followed
the events portrayed in these pages
can imagine the JOY of the greeting
between the lost ones and those they
loved. Great crowds surrounded the
hotel, and would not be satisfied un-
til the principals appeared on the
the balcony. The mayor made a
speech and introduced each man in
turn. Sidney Hammond received an
ovation as he stepped forward; one
sleeve of his coat hung vacant at
his side. Nor was the greeting to
Bernard Seymour less cordial. There
were repeated calls for Miss Car
mody, aud when that young lady
appeared on the arm Of her father.

THE ENID
Wrote Book While waiting for Wife.

Madame de Genlis, in work on
Time" tells us that the famous
Chancellor D'Aguesseau, observing
that his wife always delayed 10 or ~
minutes before she came down to din
ner, and, reluctant to lose so much
time daily, began the composition of
a work which he prosecuted only
while thus kept waiting. At the end
of Is years, book in three quarto
volumes was completed, which ran
through three editions, and was held
in high repute. Madame de Genlis
profited by this example. Having to
wait at the dinner hour in the Palais
Royal for Madame de Chartres, who
was always Is or 20 minutes late. she
utilized the time by copying a selec-
ton of poems from eminent authors.
1t is told of a German critic that he
could repeat the entire "lliad" of
Homer with scarcely an error. How
many years, think you, did he spend
in depositing the immortal epic in his
brain? Years he had not to spare,
or months, or weeks, or even entire
days, for he was physician in the
full tide of practice; but he contrived
to store in his memory the "a books
of the old bard of "Scio's rocky isle"
in the brief, disconnected snatches of
time while hurrying from one patient
to another. DR.. Mason Good, cele-
brated English physician, performed
a similar feat, having contrived to
translate the whole of Lucretius dur
ing his long walks in London to visit
his natients.-William Mathews, in

Ell or later to find himself in difficult

AnICABLY SETTLED
to Union Oil and Gas Co.
Management Have Best off

The affairs of the Union Oil and
Gas company were amicably adjusted
yesterday In a manner entirely salts
factory to the opposing stockholders.
There were tive meetings of The stock
holders at the capitol building. one =!
the forenoon and the other in the at
ternoon.
There were really four instead of two
factions, but three of them managed
to mel sc their differences and they
were lett in opposition to the manage
ment of the company, consisting Of
Pres. Adkins and Secretary Waller and
their friends on the board of direc>
tors.
In the making W of the new direc-
tory the opposition secured all but one
of the Ave directors. They are j. w.
Roby. w. Taft, w. Russell and w.
Lockard. The other director is J. y
Adkins. Nj. Adkins is succeeded as
president by Mr.. Russell and Mr.. Taft
was elected vice-president.
The new directors will unite
in procuring the dismissal of the
writ of mandamus issued by
Judge Kent two weeks ago. direct
ing the officers OF the company to hold
a meeting of the stockholders. This
writ was asked for b. the opposition.
1t was also agreed that the directors
should unite in asking for a discharge
Of the receiverahip which was created
by an Ohio court. The receivership had
already been discharged by Judge
Kent on the motion OF the opposition,
but the order was only formal one
since il could not be enforced out of
the jurisdiction Of the court of this
district.
After this had been accomplished a
secretary will he elected to succeed

There may be other questions of policy
in dispute, but they will have to be
settled in Ohio where the property Of
the company lies.

this litigation 1t was stated that the
dissolution Of the company was pro-
cured on the ground that the company
had failed to keep a resident agent;
that Secretary Stoddard had been the
agent but that when the new corpora
ton law went into effect he resigned.
There was a. belief that his power 20
act as agent had been taken away
from him by the new law. That is not

that the company had quit paying him
