SUNDAY MAGAZINE for MAY FL, 1905

There's enough blue paint on board,
sir" said the second, to put feet
into mourning. l don't know how it
came here; for Captain Brogger didn't
care to be extra lavish with stores.
1t was Dodman's way of saying that
the deceased skipper was as mean as
the owners.
Very well," said Greig, "you may do
it as soon as you like, Mr.. Plump. These
are customs which l hate to see die out.
And now l think I'll turn in.
At midnight Plump went below too,
and Dodman walked the weather side
of the deck in a happier frame of mind
than he had known since he came On
board the vessel in Liverpool. Being
right aft, he did not see a short dark man
come from the fo'c's'le and stagger along
the main deck But Eales and Curlett
saw him, and left the rest of the star
board watch, who were EARNING quietly
on the spare topmast dashed under the
rail.
les come to-" said Ea1es. Holy
sailor, this is a camel"
Bill Juggins, A. B., laid hold of
Delaying pin on the fife-rail of the main
mast and swayed to and fro like wet
swab in a cross sea.
where am II" said Bill Juggins
"This is a nightmare want to wake
He held tight and pondered. But his
brain reeled. Il have no beard,' said
the new seaman, I'm c1ean-shaved
My hairs that short | can't catch hold
of it. These amt my clothes. l can't
stand straight. But if this amt nv
ship I'm mad.
Dye hear the pore fellow?' said
Jack.
81 ears" said Cur1ett. eff e admit

was pafettick to ear i'm
'This is a bark" said poor Jugglns,
and SOS the Enchantress. But she's
at sea, and yesterday she was in Port
land, not ready to go for three days.
This is a dream, it's an awful, aw-
full dream! I'll wake up, l will, l
will"
He hung on the pin desperately, and
as he stood there Dodman walked for ard
to the break of the poop. He whistled
lightly.
"Dodman used to whistle" said the
man in a nightmare. Il used to tell
him l couldn't have it. l said it was a
street boys habit. I'll wake presently
oh, yes!"
who's that jabbering on the man
deck?" asked Dodman
Its me-" said the jabberer weakly,
as a cloud of 1audanum foated over his
brain, tits me, and | don't know who
l am"
But Goldman jumped as if he had been
shot. This was voice from the grave:
there seemed no mistaking Brogger's
wretched pipe. But before the second
mate could speak Jack Eales interviewed.
Its the new and wot come aboard at
Astoria, sir. is name is Bill Juggins"
The man from Astoria wavered doubt
fully and looked up at the poop.
Il know that voice." he murmured,
that's Dodman."
1.-THE poor chaps very drunk yet, sir,
said Eales.
Take him away r'ard;;" said Dod-
man with gasp.

What are you so sad about?" asked
Curlett. You're no better than a
soldier
"But-but ] know you ALL" said
Brogger. IF l wasn't me, how should II"
More knows Tom Fool than Tom
Fool knows" said Pizzey, and he used
such horrible threats that the skipper was
quailed and was quiet, and at last fell
asleep.
And in the meantime Dodman went
down below and woke up Plump, who
was in his first sleep.
Whats wrong?" said Plump, as soon
as he found that he was being walked
three hours before his time. You're as
white as putty, Dodman."
Dodman shook his head, and could
hardly speak. When he did speak,
Plump fell back on his pillow and gasped.
"Brogger amt dead!" said Dodman.
"Mr. Plump, Broggers on board"
You're mad!" cried Plump.
1 wish l was" said Dodman. This
is a Portland plant; this is coast game
They've shaved him and Drowned him
and drugged him, and he came aboard
at Astoria as a foremost hand!"
There was deep silence for at least
five minutes, and then Plump said, al
most with a wall: This is most dis
appointingl"
There was strange look in Dodman's
face 1t was so strange that Plump sat
up and looked at him.
Between you and me- sir, he's dead
said Dodman, with strange wink
And Pumps face lighted UP slowly.
Hes still dead" said Plump. And if
the owners don't like it they can lump it.
And what's more, l don't believe our
new skipper would stand aside now for
any man that ever breathed."
g. If he does, he's not the man 1 take
him for said the second mate a
shall get up that blue paint in the fore
noon watch, sir.
Get it up" said Plump And in ten
minutes fell fast asleep again but at
four bells in the morning watch he had
to communicate the news to the new
skipper, who was an early bird He
broke the news warily, for he dreaded
lest the "old man" should do something
in a hurry which he and others might
repent of afterward
1t would be a mighty strange thing,
SIT, IL captain BTOgSer WASH dead after
all, !" he remarked just trifle nervously
after Greig had walked the deck once or
twice.
He might rise up now, and he'd find
his ship missing said Greig with a
chuckle. AFTER all, that's only what l
did, Mr.. Plump. I was crazy, luny,
dotty and raving with fever before l
was taken out of the Winchelsea, and
when l came to she was days to sea-"
He marched up and down again. And
a dashed good man got my billet" he
said, land now l don't envy it him. 1t
was a bit of luck my getting this, Mr.
Plump, though in way I'm sorry that
you couldn't have it. l know that's
tough"
Plump sighed "A plus for a minus,
and l was minus. You wouldn't like to
step down for Captain Brogger now.
sir?"
Minus Brogger is plus me-" said
Greig. I'D not step down to 1oo'ard

OPPOSED TO ARBITRATION
Democrats Will Make Fight on
Treaties with Foreign
Countries.

If the democrats carry out their
threats to oppose the arbitration
treaties they will furnish a new reason
why the American people should re-
joice at democratic defeat in the recent
election, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. The Roosevelt administration
has been very active in framing arbi-
tration treaties in the past II months.
We have compacts of this sort with
England, France, Italy, the Neither
lands and other countries. Some OF
these are now before the senate. The
Others will be submitted to that body
for action soon. In this work the SEN
ate will be kept busy for many days Of
the present short session.
