OBITUARY.

Edward P. Hahn of Lincolnville died
early Friday morning, Jan. 9th, after an
illness of only twenty-four hours. A sudden
cold brought on serious attack of brain
congestion, from which he did not rally.
His health had been failing for more than a
year, though he kept about his business as
usual and was bright and CHEEKY with all.
Edward P. Hahn was born in LincOlnvlle,
May %, 1885, and except for 12 years during
early manhood, when he lived in ROckland,
his life was spent in the town of his birth,
where his strict integrity and business
ability made him a man of marked promi-
nence. For forty years he was engaged in
business, keeping general merchandise
store The firm name for ten years was
Frohock & Hahn, and during the past 80
years, E. P. & A. F. Hahn, his brother
Augustine being associated with him during
the latter period. He was active and prom
inent in town and district politics, and had
been a staunch Republican since the forma-
ton of the party. In the Legislative session
of 1S71-'72 he was member of the House.
For several years he served his town as
35 years had been Justice of the Peace
and Quorum and did a large amount of legal
writing for the people of his vicinity. He
was past master of King David's Lodge
of Masons, was for two years District Deputy
for his district, and for many years was a
constant attendant at the meetings of the
Grand Lodge He was an active and inter-
ested member of the local chapter of the
Eastern Star and of the Grange. The
funeral services were held Sunday afternoon,
JAN 18th, at the home where large number
of friends gathered to pay their respects to
the deceased Rev c. A. Plummer, an old
friend of the deceased, officiated, assisted
by Rev. H. l. Holt, and the services were
attended by members of King David's Lodge,
and of the Camden Lodge of Masons, the
local chapter of the Order of the Eastern
Star, and the Grange. Mr.. Hahn is surviv-
ed by wife, one daughter, Mrs. Adde f.
Ogier, wife of Rev. W. W. Ogier of Bangor,
and brother, Augustine F. Hahn of
Linconvile The Camden Herald says in
its obituary of the deceased:
The life of Edward P. Hahn illustrates
what may be accomplished by one who lives
up to the best that is in him. He was the
successful business man who with his sue
cess won the respect and honor of his fellow
men, He was the helper and adviser of many
friends and neighbors. Surely his place in
his town and community will be hard to fill.
Quiet and unassuming, capable in judg-
ment, shrewd in business, answering in
integrity, devoted to his home and family,
he was of that class of men who give char
acter to our communities and strength to
our citizenship

Crystal finished his dinner. II was

strong tumblers of rum and water
then Joined Pope on deck. Half
score of the pirates had collected
about the stuff. TIE rest Of the crew
were at this time slowly coming for
ward though three bells had not been
struck. Pope stood with folded arms
gazing down at the mail bags, but it
was sure his thoughts were not with
them. Lifting his eyes, he saw Crys.
tai, and without the least menace of
manner, though without any hint Of
cordially, either, he put his hand
upon the rugged mans shoulder, and
drew him to the rail away from the
listeners.
"Ye don't want to go adrift, john"
"Not without my cousin"
See here says Pope, taking a
step so as to command Crystals face
my father, who was a clergyman of
the Church of England, used to say,
the priest tells the parson, ii you do
got believe in my church you must go
to hell. And my father would say the
parsons reply would be, il you do not
believe in my church you must go to
hell. For every man has a right to
his own opinion, Johnny. and IL you
don't like mine, say the word Pocket

litter of stuff, land I'll put We aboard

You'll put us aboard?" says Crys-
tai savagely.

cut your throat first. man, yea, even
as you slept, before parted with her.
She's my booty. She's my prize. She
loves me-"
He rounded on his heel and walked
away to the pile of plumber, and Crys-
tai at the rail watched him under the
shadow of his scar with his brain
fashioning a scheme whose one prim-
airy and essential feature was-and he
was not too drunk to conceive it
that he must stick to the brig.

Crystals mouth widened in a grin,
but there was little or no mirth in the
grimace.

'The Crystals are a respectable old
family and pirates are hanged" said
Crystal in a low note.

beautiful girl, land aren't you likely to
be hanged?"
NO" roared Crystal in a tone that
caused the evil-eyed helmsman to
start and stare See this! it's this
that will save the Crystals from dis

his breast.

Capt. Pope does" said Laura, who
had turned little pale, though she
spoke steadily. Il would rather be
protected by him than by you. You're
in a bad temper and look terrible.
Capt. Pope is all goodness and con-
sideration, and I'll go downstairs until
you make me feel easy in your COM

amazement of the square man, who
stood rooted, but swaying on his
strong legs watching her sink through
the hatch. .....-
The cabin man was preparing the
table for dinner. Laura sat down upon
locker and sank into thought.
On sudden Pope's door opened and
the captain stepped forth. He started
with a look of transport on beholding
her, and instantly approached and
seated himself at her side. He made
as if he would take her hand, checked
himself, but self,restraint fired his
cheek with blood, and she thought he
looked handsomer than she had ever
before seen him.

Historic Residence in India.

Lord Kitchener's house at Simla, In
dia, stands on the famous hill "Jak
ko," but high stone wall shuts out
the view until coming to an open gate
way a vista reveals. the house and
grounds, and flagstaff which marks
it as the residence of the Commander
in-Chief The gateway itself has a
military appearance, for at the base
of each iron pillar surmounted by
lamps, a cannon faces outward, and
two Gurkha soldiers pace up and down
shouldering rifles. This old place is
fraught with historical associations,
for it has been the summer residence
of the Commander-in-Ch in India for
years. The names Of Roberts, Lock.
hart and White are associated with it.
1t is said that when Lord Kitchener
first visited Snowdon, as it is called.
last winter on a short visit to Simla,
he pronounced it "a barn." and spoke
freely of the many changes which he
proposed to carry out.

The efficacy of hot water in shaving

Japanese BARRIERS shave nearly all Of
the exposed surface OF mans head.
They shave the ears. the outside and
the inside of the nose, the eyebrows
and portion of the scalp. The vic.
tim sits on very low stool, while the
barber perches himself on a higher
stool and takes the customers head
between his knees. Then he seizes a
very small razor, dips it into hot water
and begins the work.
1t is no light performance TO shave
Japanese gentleman. No lather is
used, but keen edge is kept constant

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Mails.

1t was now for Pope to open the
mail bags and examine their contents.
Crystal left the bulwarks, against
which he had been leaning, and drew
close.
There were several bags of malls.
and each was stuffed full. The con-
tents consisted of letters, newspapers,
little parcels, and the like. The let
tiers which contained nothing but writ
ing were flung overheard. One stout
envelope in the third bag that was
opened, secured by tape and green
sealing wax, was found to contain a
fiat packet of small diamonds. Some
bills of exchange were met with. Bank
notes of the value of six hundred
pounds. Sundry small packages con-
tanned articles of jewelry.

"This will save the Crystals from disgrace"

"Is not all that booty l have been
looking at upstairs enough for your"
said she.
Enough for me. But there are
others"
What will be your share?"
"Say two thousand pounds" he an
swered, smiling at these inquiries,
which were made charming to him
by the beautiful face he looked at.
Can you make the rest satisfy the
men, so as to end this voyage and
save your lives?"
Il cannot live upon the interest of
two thousand pounds" answered Pope
with a sigh, "and shall not make the
halter longer by extending my cruise
and charging my estate. But l am
touched" said he in his sweetest man.
ner, that you should feel anxious
about my safety"
This was significant, and so were
her bushes; but if Pope at this mo-
ment intended to make love, his pas
sion must be hindered by the intru-
sion of round of salt, boiled beef.
In fact the cabin dinner was ready.
Crystal was called, Grindal was shout
ed for and took charge, and the two
captains and the young lady seated
themselves.
1t was plain from Crystals face that
he continued in bad temper. Though
Pope could not but cast from time to
time an adoring glance at Laura, he
refrained from making direct love to
her under Jonathan's nose. When they
were seated Pope said:
miss Crystal is uneasy about you
and me, Johnny; she would have us
end the voyage before we're captured
and hanged. l have told her that we
are not yet rich enough
"She need not trouble herself with
fears of our being hanged" said Crys-
tai; depend upon it in my death
shall not disgrace those who bear my
name"
How long is this voyage going to
last?" exclaimed Laura.
Long enough to satisfy the purpose
Of it," replied Pope. Il am here to

thousand pounds will satisfy me. If
Capt. Crystal is dissatisfied let him
take his share and I'll shift him into

docs she? does she?" exclaimed
Pope. Then growing sensible that his
power Of self-restraint was abandon
ing him, he .sprang to his feet and,
making Miss Laura one of his court
Hest bows, went up the companion
steps, carrying himself with a grace
which the girl thought no man had
ever surpassed.
"All the same" says Crystal gloom
lily and sullenly, eff shift, as he calls
1t, you shift with me-"
"You are not grateful, you are not
even gracious" she answered.
He said, with an oath, "You are in
love with him."
On which she rose and went to her
cabin.

Crystal stood Up. He had finished
breakfast, and at sea. when man
ends his meal, he departs without a
moments loss of time to relieve the
man who has relieved him, supposing
1t to be his watch on deck.
"A pity you didn't sail in any other
ship than the Thetis, Laura" said he,
and with a glance at Pope, that
seemed malevolent owing to the shad-
ow with which his scar dyed it, he
trudged up the short steps.
Crystal is not a good tempered
man." said Pope, softly.
He is in concern about me-" an
swered Laura.

Pope, leaning back, and gazing at her
thoughtfully. HE was SO poor when

Her cheeks were burning, but GER
tainly not with displeasure. And now
he exhibited great tact, for though he
was alone with her he made no at
tempt to press himself, though will
not say that this might not have been
owing in small degree to the acct
dent of his casting his eyes up to
the skylight, through which he be-
held a number Of surly, irritable i'm
patient, pirate faces staring down at
him and the girl.
When everything had been conveyed
on deck, Pope lighted a cigar and fol-
lowed the men. He found all hands
assembled.
The plumber had been heaped be-
tween the skylight and the wheel, and

. considerable crowd

the pirates made considerable crowd
on either hand of it.
Pope, smoking cigar, walked up
to the pile of stuff, thus stationing
himself between the mobs OF men. He
said:
my lads, all that we have taken so
far is here. There IS gold in those
cases. No call to count the coins. We
know to shilling by the ships papers
what the amount is"
Sitting down on one of the cases,
he pulled out notebook and pen
Gil, and his men watched him in 81
lence while he made certain calcula-
tions. ~
81 will not give you his figures; to
tell the truth do not recollect them.

the money for himself and brig, CIV
ing Crystal fourth of the remainder,
and the rest to the men in equal por-
lions, without regard to ratings. The
old man who told me this story was
not very clear on this head.
When Pope had called out the fig
ures aloud, standing up to do so, and
looking about him with face of iron,
he cried out, You are satisfied, l
hope?"
who's a-going to make the valua-
tion?" exclaimed a pirate, impatiently
"The capt'n-who else could?" says
: Bobbin, in the crowd, adding instant
ly, always begging of Mr.. Crystals
pardon" .-..
Lets shove ahead, then" says
Pope.
1t was noon before the worth of the
things had been summed up. The
mail bags had not been opened. Pope
broke off to take sights with Crystal,
and the men went below to dinner,
two remaining to sentinel the booty.
A melodious voice sounded in the
companionway, May l come on
deck?"
"An instant" roared Pope. He
caught the bell and shouted. Strike
the bell eight"
Eight BELLS" echoed Crystal, and
while pirate hammered eight silvery
green bell that hung close abaft the
foremost, Capt. Pope went along to
Laura Crystal.
st is good to breathe this air after
the atmosphere of the cabin" she ex-
claimed, land it is dull downstairs"
Before Pope could answer, Crystal
trudged up.
Pope paused a moment to look
around the sea, and in that pause
Laura's eyes rested upon his fine face,
and Crystal noticed the look. The
square man put down his quadrant,
and he and Laura fell a-pacing the
deck, Pope descending.
The cousins walked the deck for
little while in silence. Crystal then
suddenly said, screwing his eyes into
the extremity of their sockets so as
to observe the girl without turning
his head:
What dye think of Pope?"
Hes a very gentlemanly sailor"
she answered, with slight smile.
