we sighted tie woman, Who hdd been
concealed in depression. and break
ing cover she ran like a deer and was
soon out OF sight
We had spent half an hour looking
for her when the lone man left aboard
the ship fired a musket and rang the
bell and caused US to hasten down to
the beach The castaway had thanked
us and reached the shore and put Off
in one Of our boats. She was already
half mile away, using an oar IS a
paddle. and as soon as she saw as in
pursuit she redoubled her exertions.
A boat was manned and sent off in
pursuit, and we easily overhauled the
fugitive. but as we came up she sprang
overheard aud swan away. and by div
ing and lodging she eyaded us for half
an hour
Nobody could make out just what
sort Of woman she was until one Of
the men finally caught her by the hair
and pulled her into the boat She
fought him with savage feroeity, bit
ing one of his fingers to the hone. and
we had to tie her hand and foot to
keep her She appeared TO be about
forty years of age, and although her
face was roughened and Drowned by
exposure, we felt sure that she was
English or American.
We took her aboard the ship, and
the captain talked to her IN a gentle
way and tried to satisfy her that we
were friends When she grew quiet he
cast off her bonds.
AS we did not intend to make port
for three months, the idea was TO
transfer the woman to some other
craft. We spoke half dozen IN sue
cession, but not one Of them would re-
ceiye her. From one, however, where
the captain had bis wife aboard, an
outfit was procured. and no sooner was
it handed over to the castaway tnan a
great change took place III her. She
quoted down, dressed herself from
head to foot and spent whole day in
brushing and combing her hair
One morning she electrified the
steward By saying she would eat
breakfast ia the cabin, these being the
first words she had spoken since her
capture. When she emerged from her
stateroom nobody could have reeog-
nized her. She was now fairly good
looking woman. mild eyed and shy,
and her voice was low and gentle. AS
she entered the cabin she looked about
her in wondering way and queried Of
the captain
Sir, viii you please tell me how |
came aboard Of this ship and what has
become Of my own wardrobeT
When II was explained to her that
she had been taken frem Lighthouse
island, where she had been living as a
castaway for months or years, her as
constituent was beyond utterance
Two weeks after she came aboard OF
us she was transferred to a steamer
bound for Liverpool, and we sent her
on her way with a purse Of over 500
and a handshake from everybody. |
heard of her six months after she had
reached England, but memory had not

Uncle sam.
The government of the United States
makes many thousands of dollars ev-
cry year through the carelessness or
misfortune of persons with whom IT
has business to transact, says a Wash
ington dispatch TO the New York Tele-
gram. Merchants sometimes make
money IN the same way, but the
amount is inconsiderable. If mer-
chant gives check In satisfaction Of
an obligation and the check is lost the
loss can be proved and the amount re-
covered by the man to whom the check
was given. Sometimes It happens that
a man gives a check which is afterward
destroyed, and possibly the man to
whom the check was issued never
claims the money But this happens
so seldom that the profit from this
source is one to which no business man
would give serious consideration In
figuring the possibilities OF a season.
But Uncle Sam. on the contrary, can
figure out pretty well before the be
ginning Of the fiscal year that SO many
thousand dollars viii be put TO his
credit on the profit and loss account
before the year is over This Will
come from bonds. United States notes,
treasury notes of 1890 and silver GER
tificates destroyed and never presented
for redemption, from unclaimed inter
est on interest bearing securities. abra-
sions of gold and silver coin. money
orders whiSh are lost and never du-
plicated, as well as the humble postage
stamp which is not put to the use for
which 1t was intended
The amount which the government
makes In destroyed stamps each year
is not determinabie, but 1t undoubted-
ly amounts to many hundred dollars
The stamp collectors furnish large
revenue to the government, for they
put away stamps at their face value.
and the postofflce department is never
required to perform the service which
is represented In the purchase price.
These profits are never cast up be
cause debts of the government are sell

The value OF missing United States
interest bearing securities Of the earli-
er issues prior to and during the civil
war on June 30 amounted to more than
$1,000000. Those obligations. on which
interest ceased years ago, date back to
1847, and the outstanding amounts are
classified as follows:

By this table IT is seen mat the
amount Of outstanding securities on
which interest has ceased stands at
ST, 196, S60o6. In the last fiscal year
the only securities listed above which
were presented for redemption were
bonds OF the funded loan Of 1891, one
and two year notes OF 1868 and COM
pound interest notes. Some others may
be presented in the future TO be re-.
deemed by the government, but it Is
safe to say that In all probability the
larger portion viii never turn up.
One OF the great sources OF unearned
income to the government is the de
struction of thousands of notes issued
from the treasury which pass from
hand 10 hand and reach all classes and
after floating around for years are lost,
worn out or destroyed. The amount
Of these unredeemed notes would be
difficult to estimate. From the first
issue, in 1861, to the present day the
amount would reach millions OF dol.

known as fractional currency and more
yulgarly as "shinplasters," which was
