CAPTIVE SAVED BY sToRK.
Bird Carried Message from Moorish
Prison to Quiet Town In
Distant Norway.

The story is told OF how, many years
ago, some English captives In Moor
ish prison were rescued through the
means of famous old hymn tune. A
British man-of-war had anchored Of
port near Algiers which was notorious
for the pirate craft that II harbored. At
night, while all the crew except the
watch were asleep, voice was heard
somewhere on shore singing we'll
known air. Some of the ships officers
were quickly summoned. and rs they
listened and the singers voices-for
others had Joined in-became louder
and clearer. they recognized the notes
of the grand "Old Hundred"
Guessing rightly enough that some of
their fellow countrymen lay imprisoned
In the Moorish fortress, the captain gave
orders for the small boats to get out.
Then strong landing party Of we'll
armed seamen swiftly rowed in to shore.
and, taking the guard by surprise.
stormed the fortress. In very short
time the captives, three in number, were
safe on board the man-of-war.
Wonderful as this rescue may appear,
1t is perhaps surpassed by the story Of
how Conrad Jonassen was restored to
liberty. Conrad was Norwegian. and
as boy had made pet OF stork
which regularly visited his town. Year
after year the bird returned to where
1t was always fed, to build its nest upon
the house roof and rear It's brood of
young.
While he was hardly more than boy
Conrad went to sea, and had the mis-
fortune to be captured by Algerian pi.
rates. With many Of his shipmates he
was sold into slavery. For three years
he endured all the hardships and indig-
mites of his Imprisonment, buoyed up
by the hope that an opportunity to es-
cape would some day present ITSELF At
the end Of this period, when he and his
comrades were beginning to despair of
ever seeing their native land again. he
one day saw stork flying about over
head. The sight Of the bird recalled to
him his old home. and he whistled to 1t
as he had been wont to do with his for
mer pet. To his great Joy the stork
alighted on the ground near him and
came up as II expecting to be fed.
Conrad had no food with him at the
time. But the next morning he saved
a portion Of his breakfast with which to
feed the bird. For several days he re-
peated this, until the stork became quite
friendly. The thought now flashed into
his mind: Why not make q messenger
of the stork? 1t would be flying north
ward In little time and might prob
ably find its way to some Norwegian
town. He determined to make the ex-
pertinent, and having scrubbed few
lines on scrap OF tough paper. he tied
tho latter securely to the birds leg. In
due course. when the time OF migration
came round. the stork winged its way
from the African shore to the northern
regions.

CRUDE WIRELESS OUTFIT.
Eighteen Year-old Iowa Boy Displays
Ingenious Skill In Making In
struments Of His Own.

Willie Peeler, aged IS, has completed
q set of wireless telegraph instruments
from makeshift materials. says the Fort
Dodge (Ia) correspondent Of the New
York Herald.
In July young Peeler attended lee
ture on liquid air and wireless telegra-
ply. He was SO impressed that he re-
NAMED after the lecture for further in
vestigation. The lecturer was meeting
others, and did not have time to an
swer the questions put by the youth.
This, however. did not deter the lad from
making careful inspection Of the in
struments.
81 can make that, and I'm going to
have one," he remarked to compan-
ion. And he did. His patience Is shown
in the induction coil which he made. 1t

on q reel and required all OF his even
ings for a week. Each layer Of wire II
vanished and padded with layers OF
newspaper. It's power is sufhcient to pro-
duce waves that will carry mile.
Two copper plates were necessary to
complete his system. but his limited
means derived from clerking In
grocery store, did not permit Of his buy
ing them at 80 cents each. Nothing
daunted, he took two empty lard cani
and from the tops of these made the
necessary plates.

A HERO.
We saw the colonel on parade,
A most imposing sight he made.

We saw the colonel on parade,
A most imposing sight he made.
His swelling chest, his bearing proud,
His voice peremptory and loud
With awe inspired the gazing crowd.
You really should have heard him when
He shouted orders to his men.
Yes, when he roared those orders out
You should have seen them march about.
In prompt compliance with his shout.
oh, very dignified was he
AS martial as q man can be.
So'haughtily he held his head.
His gils became so very red,
So turkey cocky was his tread
We later saw him when he seemed
Far meeker than we could have dreamed.
His step was soft, his voice subdued,
His rudy cheek was chalky-hued.
With terror re seemed quite imbued.
In such a man as he twas queer
But he was overcome with fear.
He born to threaten and command!
A rank poltroon with trembling hand,
And knees that hardly let him stand.
We marked his look Of wild despair
We heard his wife's voice on the stair.

"a little.-when the gate opened and up
the long path, straight to where she
swung In the big hammock under the
trees. walked the very one Of whom she
was thinking, Tom Patterson. And In
that moment she admitted to herself that
she Garcia great deal.
She rose and smiling welcome, came
to meet him. why, Tom, how you've
grown. You hardly look the same to
me-"
But I am the same to you. Maricn,
II you would only believe It,"
Toms glance said more than his
words. Marion blushed and seated her
self In the hammock, while Tom flung
himself with careless grace on the grass
at her feet
why should believe 1t, Tom?
You've been saying pleasant nothings
to me ever since l was a little girl.
Why should believe you now any more
than in those other days?" And Marion
began to swing lightly to and fro, look
ing at Tom with half-mocking smile,
but thinking at the same time what
fine fellow he was and how glad she felt
that he had come back. Fit was but for
visit.
But Tom was speaking, and when she
recovered her thought she discovered
with thrill, that he was answering her
hooking question with serious delibera-
ton. "The reason, Marion, why you
should believe me now, Is that this time
I mean 1t. No, that's hardly what
mean I've always meant 1t, but never
dared say anything very serious now
that l have shown that l can earn
enough to make a home, have come to
ask the only girl in the world IL she will
share 1t with me.
why, Marion, I've loved you ever
since that day-of course you don't re-
member-a day when you were little
girl and year or two older. We were
playing King William and was IT.
There was far away look in his ey es.
so Marion had chance to steal a glance
at him before he turned again toward
her.
ut was your first game, and someone
suggested you as good one to choose.
didn't need to be told that, however,
for had you all picked out; had
chosen you the minute I got IL the
game. OF course they didn't know, SO
when l caught you and had that first
kiss"-he paused significantly-"they
thought it great joke.
81 felt dreadfully sorry when you felt
so bad, and cried; and wouldn't play
any more that day. But | said to my
self then, and have said 1t many times
since, that some time was going to
have another; though Of course I
wouldn't want 1t IL 1t should affect you
as that first one did" He looked for
some sign from her, but Marion did not
stir. All this time she had sat with
face turned away, her eyes shining and
her cheeks rosy.
At last Tom began to grow fearful Of
the prolonged silence and broke 1t with:
Nov I have dared. / have come. Don't
send me away, for have always wanted
YOU"
"Send you away? wouldn't dare"
Marion turned toward him face all
smiles. but eyes dimmed with tears. ~
wouldn't dare because. well-because
I've always loved you, too, Tom, at least
since that day we played King William
and you gave me my first kiss"
And then Tom had HIS second, and
another, and an. But that's beyond
our pale; we were to stop at the second.

SUGAR MARKET STRONG

shipments from Cuba Lice. advance

transactions at 2 9.32c. cost and freight
which lack confirmation at this writing
although the report is believed. Spot
quotations remained nominally un.

made at 2hc. cost and freight for near.
by Cuba centrifugals. thus establishing
the quotation on the spot at 3.60c. duty

Java centrifugals for June.July ship
ment (August.September arrivaD arc
offered at 9s. Sd. C. and T., equal to
3.75c. duty paid for SO test.
European markets have gained 2hd
for the week but the two markets here
and there are so nearly together now
on cane-sugars that two cargoes oil
Javas at port OF call have been placed
TO come to the United States rather
than to England, showing that there Is
no particular advantage any more in
directing Java sugars to Europe.
The Cuban crop has not yet reached
its highest point and hence planters
continue relatively free sellers. Buy
ers, on the other hand, are in position
To curtail their purchases for time al
least, If deemed advisable, particularly
as the demand for refined has slack
ened very considerably during the
week.
One important element Of strength
in the general situation is the increase
in the European consumption as shown
by figures which we have recently pub
lished and which may amount to 500,
900 tons this year. Nothing new is re
ported regarding European beet SOW
ings which will not be completed be
fore the end Of April.
