HE FOOLED THE SKIPPER.
Writer Was Not the lgnoramus He
Protested to Be.


Sir J. G. Wright Hyne, the English
author of delightful stories of the sea-
is greatly given to mystiication. This
generally takes the form of pretend
ing colossal ignorance OF the sea
when he is afiOat-and 1t is seldom
he is not. On one voyage he made
friends with the "old man" and piled
him with ridiculous questions The
skipper was patient man, and an
affable, and he explained With gray
ity that the hatch had nothing to do
with chickens, nor was the donkey
engine worked by an ass. but he
came near to an apoplectic seizure
when the ''greenhorn' wanted to
know whether it was the wheel that
propelled the vessel. Then Mr.. Hyne
said he would like to learn something
about ropes, and the ski n under
took to teach him how to make
grommet. They set to work, but
presently the teacher was called
away, and the pupil, left to himself.
unconsciously began to weave with
all the dexterity of the skilled sea-
man. Suddenly he heard strangled
exclamation, and, looking up, he
found the skipper regarding him with
wrathful eyes. ooh, you dear blessed
beauty" cried the outraged skipper
these were not his exact words, but
they will serve~"and you told me
you didn't know a hawser from
holystOne." But the "old mans"
wrath was speedily appeased and
subsequently there was a sound of
revelry by night

Inc name Of the person sending the
other story was Henry Maybrick A
letter was dispatched to the school of
journalism inquiring if they were in
correspondence with such person, fur
nlshlng them with some Of the facts,
ana politely requesting them to throw
any light in their power on the mat
ter In due time the reply came.
they had, last spring, as a pupil in
journalism a man by that name living
at that time in New York City. He
was no longer on their books, or within
their knowledge. Yes, they knew Mrs.
Mayson; she had been regular pupil
OF theirs four years ago as Helen
Dale, and since her marriage they had
frequently had dealings with her. The
outline submitted was certainly hers;
they recalled the circumstance. and
account for it being in Maybrick's
possession in but one wagon ac-
count Of similarity Of names, it had,
doubtlessly, been mailed to him in
stead OF its rightful owner. They re-
GREETED the mistake exceedingly etc.
This, with the letter to Helen
(Which she promptly forwarded, to-
gether with the original outline),
formed proof enough to satisfy
even a scrupulous publisher and es-
tablish beyond doubt her right to the
prize.
What visions of happy Christmas
and Joyous New Year, and even of flu
ture fame and fortune by her pen,
fitted through the brain of Helen
Dale Mayson, as she read the publish
er's letter containing check for
100000 and a polite hope that she
would favor them with further con-
tributiOns.
She felt that she could almost for
give the culprit who had stolen her
plot, since he had not profited by it,
as she fastened to tell the good news
to her husband.

A Literary Theft

By Lucien Laurence.

Just see, my dear boy, what a
beautiful fat bird, all broiled! And
this toast is Drowned to perfection
Delmonico couldn't do better, and
expect you to eat it all, to prove your
appreciation of your wifes skill in
cooking Smiling brightly, the young
wife whisked light table to the bed
side, and placing the tray on it,
propped the patient with pillows in
a comfortable position to partake of
the tempting food Carving the bird
into dainty bits, she sat down beside
him while he tried to eat a little
Just TO please her
But the effort was a woeful failure,
and he turned away with a weary
sigh, born OF more than physical suf
fering. His wife kissed his pale fore
head and stroked away the brown
curling locks with touch of gentle
sympathy.
Cheer up, dear, and don't think
OF things that worry you. Make haste
to get well and it will all come right,
in good time, I'm sure"
you are more hopeful than l am
then. How can l help worrying, when
| know that it is only question Of
a short time, until we will probably
be turned into the streets. Lying
here fiat on my back, with starvation
staring us in the face! What's to be-
come OF us?"
Keep quiet, sweetheart, or you will
bring on the pain again. 1t is not
SO bad as that, and something tells
me that things will right themselves
if we do the best we can and be pa
tient"
Il know I'm brute, Nell, to be
cross with the dearest wife in the
world, but how can a fellow be pa
tient. If it were not for this accnrsed
eumatism-ah-" as a fresh twinge
seized him, he almost yelled with
pain.
Helen applied the remedies, always
at hand for sudden paroxysms, and
after getting him somewhat quoted,
she took up book and with one soft
cool hand resting on his feverish one,
read to him, diverting his mind from
perplexing thoughts, until, under the
spell of her musical voice, he fell
asleep
Helen Mayson possessed decided
talent for combining her thoughts,
original, vigorous and poetic, into
short stories, poems and special arti-
cles With some training and much
diligent practice, she had added, by
the sale of her productions, small
sums from time to time to their mea-
gre bank account.
Sometime during the preceding
summer she had placed short story
in competition for cash prize, offer
ed by the publishers of a popular
magazine The contest was to close
November Ist, and as she had heard
nothing from it, she concluded it was
a failure In fact, her husbands i'll
ness and her own distress and anxiety
had almost driven it from her mind,
Their savings were about exhausted
and but for a small sick benefit policy
they would be actually lacking daily

Word reaches ST. Paul from the
American desert to the effect that
Red Thunder, the most powerful chief
of the Pinas, had gone to the happy
hunting grounds.
Red Thunder boosted that he had
never entered a white mans settle
ment and had been in the dwelling OF
a pale face but once. He also boosted
that he always bested his white
brother, for whom, however, he had
the greatest friendship when he dealt
with him. Red Thunder was killed
by an engine.

II was now the second week in

CHRISTMAS shoppers. Delivery wagons

Holly and mistletoe, the seasons in

The lively picture and the chatter

the gay scene with a similar one

she came up to her gate. CHANGING

After his retirement from more than
half a century Of continuous work with
