must certainly go to the bottom on the

THE brig Mary Ann Jones had been

.when Captain Jones died. His wife.

o,vavs sailed with him, and she could

that the widow would settle down
ashore and ask him to go as captain,
In this he was sadly disappointed.

So Jed took himself off, and in due

duras and put to sea. Luck attended
her again-that is, Jed called it sea-
manship during his watches and luck
during the widows, and he'd have CIV
en- a months wages had the craft lost
one of her masts while he was asleep
in his watch below. Nothing happened,
however, and she reached port and be-
gan the discharge of her cargo. When
she was ready to begin taking on, the
widow came out of the cabin one morn
ing to find the mate Longing on the
quarter deck and the crew loafing
about forward.
Jed, what's the meaning Of thisY'

bite the dust as soon as he could find them.
Garfield was never harmed.
He was with Thompson and King Fisher
ten minutes before both met their death.
He met them on the street while they were
on their way to the variety show and they
insisted that. he accompany them. But
Garfield excused himself by saying he had
work to do, and left them with the promise
to meet them at midnight.
In order that a political clique might
get him removed from Texas, Garfield in
1892 had the offer of the place of sergeant
at arms of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, He resigned his place in San
Antonio to go to Washington, confident
that he would be elected. But the best he
got OUT of the campaign was the superin-
tendency of the public document room.
He never returned to Texas after that.
He had desultory connections with New
York newspapers in 1895 and then went to
Chicago. From the moment he got there
he became successful. He has published
Down By the Rio Grande,' novel which
ran into the thousands; "A Mocking Bird 8
Wing which last year was translated into
the French and German. What he thought
would be known as the great American
hist orical romance he hoped to finish be-
fore Thanksgiving. He had been at work
on 1t two years.
He leaves a widow and one son. A month
ago he bought a farm at Mount Sterling,
Wis, where he expect ed to make his home
after he had finished his American novel.

was the Joy of the town. Children whistled
what the dickey birds said, and adults

Every one spoke Of Francis Wilson's legs
