CHAPTER ".
Odd Companions.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fisherman's
cabin. The man, though dashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the cleepers which hold
vine in its upward climb.
Young as it was, only a few weeks
old, the infant possessed more vitality
than did its aged protector. 1t
stretched forth its little hands and legs
with surprising strength and cried pitt
fully, though in voice that showed
that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for a moment
and stared blankly into the faces of
those directly in the line of his WIS.,
ion, and then closed them. He was
Unconscious of all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck.
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash of the beach. But
for the slow pulsation of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
those around him.
The women were running about as
busy as only women can be when they
are doing some great act of charity,
and their devotion was increased by
the fact that some dead mothers chi d
had fallen into their hands, and each
felt double responsibility on this &C.
count.
Some were bringing dry clothing
from the wardrobe of their own chill
dren, others we're warming cows milk
in a small basin on the stove, while a
more thoughtful mother was sharing
the breast Of her own babe with the
little waif. And those good women
smiled with tears in their eyes as the
little stranger tugged greedily at its

up bundles with Irvine, take another
turn, as in Fig. 3.
Lay the parts together as in Fig. 4.
Then curl the part A over B, bringing
the end up through the loop as in Fig.
.. Now carry B around and under A,
passing it down through the loop as in
Fig. g. This knot will not slip. A man
can sit in and be hoisted to any
height in safety. This is the kind of a
knot to make if you want to lead an
OK or a horse by halter. as it will not
slip and choke the animal. This is
really the most important knot that is
made. 1t is handy in making fast a
boats painter and in tying fish lines
and sinkers

RUSSIA AT PANAMA.
How Near that Nation Came to Build
ing the Isthmian Waterway.

How Near that Nation Came to Build
ing the Isthmian Waterway.
The work at Panama which the
United States government has just I'M
dertaken narrowly escaped being fin
ished under the auspices of the Gar
of Russia, as a sort of complement to
the Trans-Siberian Railway. Mons.
Philippe Bunau-Varilla, in a history of
the canal project which he contributes
to La Nouvelle Revue, narrates the cir
cumstances, which are certainly not
generally known.
In 1894, not long after Russia be-
gan the Trans-Siberian, he says, 1t oc-
Cured 10 me that the Panama canal
was in some way a complement to that
undertaking, as the Suez had been to
the American transcontinental rail
ways 1t seemed to me that then was
a proper time for Russia to manifest
her friendship for France in a tangi-
BILE way by helping to re-establish the
work at the isthmus. So l applied to
Monsieur De Witte with that in view.
"What is the opinion OF the French
government in the matter" he asked.
Then, In way to suggest that he
conveyed the wishes of Gar Alexan-
der. he added:
"If it conforms TO yours. without

said the old man.
Then they all put to and gave
their energy to securing the iron chest.
The old man abandoned his lookout
and joined the boys in the work. The
timbers were interlocked about it and
at the same time deeply imbedded in
the sand.
"Get the capstan lever, boys; get
the capstan. We must have her now
or it will be too late!" exclaimed the
excited old Seadog.
Some clowbars had been unearthed
from the ships tool room and with the
addition of the capstan lever they set
to work with renewed vigoi.
'Pry down to the left. boys, pry
down to the left" shouted the father.
Already the exhaust of the govern
ment launch could be heard as it slowed
up to weigh anchor at a safe distance
from the sandbar.
1t would only require the lowering
of boat and a few strokes of the oars
to land the officers upon the fishermen.
Fortune had always favored old Sea-
dog and it favored him again. With a
heavy lurch they brought the chest
from under the timbers that held it
down.
Fortune doubly favored him. When
the iron receptacle had been turned
round it was found that the keys still
remained in the lock. The captain
had possibly attempted to open it at
the last moment and had been driven
out by the waves.
Crush outside, boys; rush outside
l will do the rest!' commanded the
stern old parent. The boys were
barely in time. They were confronted
by the officers Immediately upon climb
ing to the deck.
Sin the name of the government,
men, we proclaim you our prisoners.
calmly spoke one of the officers.
The boys looked bewildered but
spoke not in the absence of their faith
er, to whom they had always looked
for advice and guidance.
But the old man was busily engaged.
With surprising quickness he had
opened the chest and tore from it the
register roll. Then he closed the
chest, locked it and cast the keys into
the water at the lower end of the hole.
Then he climbed out through port
hole at the rear, hurriedly secreted
the roll in the sand at a safe distance
from the vessel, climbed back through
and joined his boys who were prison
ers on deck. But before he had hidden
the parchment upon which the ships
register was made he had turned
through it quickly. His eyes had
rested upon two names. This brought
from him the ejaculation:
"Old Seadog rejoices at last; old
Seadog rejoices at last; old Seadog has
cause to rejoice! In the language of
the convict who swan to the Diamond
Isles. the woi Id belongs to old Seadog
now!'"

The Dreaded Artist.

The thought of possible cartoons
cannot well be absent from the minds
of men whom all the world knows.
L. A. Tollemache, the author of
Talks with Mr.. Gladstone" tells
not in the book-a story which pre-
sents the statesman In an attitude not
familiar in ordinary representa- tons of
the great man.
One stormy day during one of Mr..
Gladstone's visits to Biarritz he
walked from his hotel to call on Mr..
Tollemache, who was amazed to see
that Mr.. Gladstone came without an
umbrella.
Mr.. Gladstone laughingly explained
that If the high wind had happened
to turn his umbrella inside out, a pic
ture of him in that forlorn plight
would have found its way into half
the comic papers of Europe.

Cisimir Perier," he said, "who will
call you in a few days to tell you that
the French government is favorable to
joint action with Russia, and that CON
sequently there is a basis on which
to re-establish the Panama work. To
day it is the friend who speaks. In
a few days you will be officially in
formed"
Unfortunately for Monsieur Bunau-
Varilla's plans, however, the ministry
fell before Monsieur Casimir- Perier
had called him to receive his reply
By singular fatality, within a year
Car Alexander was dead, President
Carnot was dead, Burdeau was dead
and Casimir-Perier was out of politics.

HOW TO TIE KNOTS.

First, make a plain overland knot
as in Fig. 1. Take the end B, place it
over and under the part A. and draw
the ends tightly; then it will appear as
in Fig. 2. If you place the ends in the
other direction they will make what
sailors call granny knot" term of
ridicule used of one who ties the knot
thus through mistake. The square
knot can be easily undone. If you

all Democrats, and congratulate
the people of Lafayette upon their
noble lot of parish nominees. He
then devoted his remarks to the
claims of the Republicans who
took credit for internal improve
ments and the Panama canal,
showing that without Democratic
support they could have done
nothing. Most of his speech was
concerning the pension system
