Uncle Terry
...By...

"a purity slick craft, boys" he said
to the party as the Gypsy's anchor
ceased rafting out of the hawsehole-
"a purity slick craft, an must IA cost
a heap o. money"
Then as he pulled his own weather
beaten dory that had been towing
astern along to the gangway, Albert
stepped up to him and said In n low
voice:
"Will you excuse mo II little while,
Mr.. Terry2 I want to change my
clothes and in an hour or SO / will
come ashore and not only thank you
for all your kindness, but make you q
Whit"
When Uncle Terry had gone Albert
related bis experiences for the past
eighteen hours to the ~party-that Is,
all but one incident, or rather surprise.
Then nothing would do but they must
all go ashore and look the quaint little
village over

the lighthouse. boys" Albert said, as
they We're getting into their boat. mfr.
Terry's family are rather sensitive peo-
pie and may not like to have a lot Of
us trooping around their place. I am
going over there this afternoon to
make q sketch, and then I'll ask per-
mission and weIl all go there some
other day"
He had whispered to Frank to re-
main on the yacht, and when the rest
were gone he said to him: Frank, I
am going to conhde something to YOU.
The fact is, Frank, Two tumbled into
an adventure and fallen in love with n
girl on sight and without having ex
changed ten words with her! She Is
Mr.. Tcrry's daughter, and has eyes that
take your breath away and a form like
the Venus OF Milo. She paints pictures
that are n wonder, considering she
never has taken Il lesson, and has n
face more bewitching than any wom-
ans 1 ever saw. 1t is like n painters
dream"
"Well you have zone daft, old man."
replied the astonished Frank.
"But you haven't heard 1t all yet.
This unique old q who saved me
from sleeping all night in a thicket OF
briers and who has opened his heart
and home to me, has fallen into the
clutches of-Nicholas Fryer
"Great Scott" exclaimed Frank.
And how on earth did he ever find
Frye, or Frye find himf Was your old
man Of the island hunting around Bos-
ton for some one to rob him2"
THAT I do not know yet" replied
Albert, "All l know is that Mr.. Terry
has paid Frye about $500, and, as he
says, so far has nothing to show for 1t.
What the business was 1 expect to
learn later. Now, what / am coming
at Is this: Can't you manage to leave
me here for the rest of the day, or, bet
ter still, make 1t two days? I'll tell
the boys I've tumblcd into n bit OF
law business, which is what / think
Will come out of 1t, and you can run
down to Bar Harbor and back here to-
morrow night"
"Well. III do that gladly" replied
Frank, and then he added with a droll
smile, at Will give you a chancc TO
say n few sweet things to this girl with
the wondrous eyes, ell, BertT"

came to my rescue" Albert replied,
and the sun seemed to be setting In
the east. 1t was very kind OF your fa-
ther to take caro- OF me the way he has,
and I shall never forget It."
1T is not hard for two young people
Of opposite sex to get acquainted when
each desires to entertain the other md
they have at least one well defined
taste I'm common. Albert did not talk
much, but adroitly induced Telly to do
most of 1t. In the hour they passed
together he discovered that two i'm
pulses were nearest her heart-thc first
and strongest her devotion TO Uncle
Terry, and after that n desire to paint.
~ do not ever hope to do much" she
admitted rather pathetically. al never
have taken lessons and maybe never
shall. 1 would not think of asking ia
ther to let me go away, and all ] can
do is to work blindly. / often sit for
hours trying to put things I see on can
vas, only to fail utterly and begin all
over again. 1 should not mind 1t IL L
could see that I made any progress, but
for the most happy hours 1 have nre
when I'm painting"
You certainly have perseverance,"
responded Albert encouragingly, "and
the pictures YOU have shown me seem
very lifelikc. / wish 1 could do as
we'll. 1ou have done good work for
oiio sell taught as you arc, and you
have no reason to be discouraged"
Then Uncle Terry came III and an
nounccd dinner. 1t was rather n state
affair for the Terry household, and the
table bore their best dinner service,
with n vase of flowers in the center.
III hope We feel hungry" said Uncle
Terry us he passed n we'll filled plate
to Albert, "fcr VIC live plain, an it's
good appetite as makes good vittlcs. L
s'posc We are used to purity high livin'."
"Whatevcr tastes good is good" re-
piled Albert, and, turning to Aunt Lis
sy, he added. "This fried lobster beats
anything 1 have tasted for n long
time"

Capt. Hance was in command of the
regiment when he received his death
wound, all the field officers being
wounded, he being the senior captain.
In Gen. Longstreet's book, "From
Manassas to Appomattox," pages 3l5-
316, he gives the losses at Fredericks-
burg as follows:
Federal-Killed, 1924; wounded, $500.
Total casualties, 10, 1884.
Confederate-Killed, 595. wounded,
4,074. Total casualties, 1869.
Federal loss in prisoners, 1,769; max
ing total loss of IL, 1853.
Confederate loss in prisoners, 653.
making u total loss of 1922.
The same author, Gen. Longstreet,
gives the forces available for battle at
Fredericksburg a follows: Federal,
116,683; Confederate, z $1,000. Troops
put in battle: Federal, sc, 900; Confed-
crates actually engaged less than 20,
600.
Speaking Of the bravery and loss of
life on the Federal side, Gen. Long
street says:
"a series of Drawer, more desperate
charges than those hurled against the
troops in the sunken road was never
known, and the piles and cross-piles of
dead marked q field such as | never saw
before or since"

Gaping TRe.

Mr. J.. FL. Wilkes makes the
following pertinent remarks on
Gaping fuses in a recent issue of.
the South African Mines:
1t appears that infinite trouble
is taken in the manufacture of
fusr, the most expensive item in
manufacture being the water
proo6ng and. yetthe joint between.
the cap and the fuse as we make
it is VIGOROUSLY un-watertight. 1t
is a peculiar fact that there is not
a miners plicer OF the market in
this or any other country which
fasteps the cap and the fuse on
the right principle. The one OBJ
lect of the manufacturers Of min
er's pliers is TO mrke d toolwhich
will simple fastens the cap to tee
fuse, At the present time from
one end of the reef to the other.
the miner in a wet place make
the imperfect joint, watertight,
truck grease. In a dry place he
often comes across a hole full of
water just as he is charging up.
Either the water used in drilling
has trickIed back, or the boy has
not blown it out properly. Than
if he can not scrape some grease
off his machine, he squeeses the
gelatine of the primer around the
cap and fuse and trusts to luck.
So that all the care and expense
of making fuse waterproof is
thrown away, and the results after
all depends on luck; and people
wonder at the number Of China
men who find them with the
sharp end of their jumpers.
For one fuse capped with the
imperfect pliers at present in the
market, there are a dozen capped
with the miners teeth. This idea
OF buying expensive fuse and then
joining it on anyhow to the cap
is quite on a par with our custom
of buying expensive hauling ropes
with a factor of safety of three.
The other day about three weeks
ago. in a very wet drive at the
Omitted a miner was blown tc
pieces. The only plausible theory
which could be advanced to ex.
plain this regrettable incident was
that he had remained at the face
too long trying to light the wei
ends of his fuses. Now do you
