"If you look at it in the right light, l
think you cannot fail to see that it is other

tried to njure you in the slightest manner"
Yes, you have" retorted Dave; you was
always doin' things that got old Jonas down
an the ole man was ALWAYS tellin' me
orter do things like you done 'em, an your
way always made me twiced the work | had

WELL I'm sorry if l added in any manner
to your labors, Dave; it was entirely uncon-
! felt it should be DONE" | explained, in as
kind tones as l could command.
But | smiled; l could not help it. This
made him furious and caused him to knit his
brows and set his teeth.
Il TANK if you were to tell the captain you
feel sorry for whatever you may have done
to displease him." / continued, che would
feel better disposed toward you, and maybe
allow you to take your day-watch below

WHaC! ye1leu lave, as ne cenched his
fist and glared at me with a vengeful express
sion in his eye. Say I'm sorry for hurtin'
you? Sorry! l wish I'd killed you l will
kill you if ever catch you on yard-arm
when no one is lookin"
"Oh, you will, eh?" exclaimed the mate,
who reached for the boys collar and jerked
him several feet backward. "You will? Co
ing to kill people, eh? just you get along
forward there, you sneaking, landlubbery
stowaway, and get at work scraping the an
chor on the fo'casle deck. Kill people, will
you, you whipper-snapper you!" and he help
ed Dawes movements with his double-soled
sea-boot.
This termination of my conversation with
Dave Harris was, discouraging to any future
endeavors toward reconciliation between
us, for the captain was told of Harris con-
duet, and ! was taken aft into the cabin,
where the skipper began to teach me the rl,
dimental principles OF navigation. / had no
fear of Dave whatever, and merely regarded
his threats as the impetuous outbursts of a
fiery temper. / could not believe he had a
morbidly-nursed desire to injure me; but
was mistaken.

stated my predicament in few words,
then broke down.
.'Niver mind, lad, said the warm m-heartedi
come along with Mother Mac. for the time,
and she'll see what she can do for you till
Monday morning"
Mother Mac was a power in her pecunar
way. Her recommendation of boy to
skipper went further towards securing him
ships perth than the word OF the richest
magnate in the port of Codville.
Therefore, it was no great surprise to me-
on her return Monday evening, when she in
formed me that she had induced the captain
of schooner to agree to take me to Boston
with LIN, where he would get me chance
TO ship as boy before the mast.
Much as | disliked the idea Of seafaring
life, | sincerely grateful to the old sou,
daily suggested the owmindedness of the
people of Codville, whom Dave Harris had
preiudiced against me. Besides, my natural
desire for revenge upon Dave could be graft
fed, for l was to take the place that had been
promised him by Jonas Gripp.
| One week later / was walking the deck of
the three-masted clipper Portlanv bound for
| Callao.
/ was one of two boys In the second mate
watch. The port watch was one boy short;
but when we were two DAYS out of port
Dave Harris crawled out of the lazaret, where
he had hidden until he made sure he could

lie was placed in the port watch to fill its
vacancy, and he Immediately tried to make
! things as uncomfortable as possible for me,
| by inventing discreditable yarns regarding my
doings while with Jonas Gripp..
| took no notice of him whatever, other
wise than to inwardly think that in his sto.
ries about myself he was unconsciously be-
traying his own misdemeanors. His shafts
were boomerangs that rebounded to his own
injury rather than mine; for the sailors in
his watch seemed instinctively to despise him
while, on the other hand, they, as well as
the seamen in my own watch, seemed to be
more than ordinarily well-disposed towards
| me-
This ranllled Dave, until one day he spent
mis- pent-up fury by striking me with a Delay
ing-pin when my back was turned

tain witnessed from the quarterback, he was
given all the petty menial work to do for both

Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-27

All this time, which extended over Pc
riod OF eight months, Dave had behaved nim-
sell fairly WELL although by small and un-
worthy acts he occasionanj showed his men,
ory had not tagged, and he was only awaiting
some favorable opportunity to do me an un-
KIND turn, We hugged the coast rather close
going north, and just after crossing Capri
corn about opposite Rio de Janeiro, several
seamen, including Dave, were taken sick
The captain prescribed for the sailors and
mixed some drugs from the medicine chest
which he intrusted to the steward and myself
to give to the sick men.
L naturally paid more attention to Dave
because he was apparently more violently i'll
than the rest. He appeared conscious of my
kindness to him, and begged my forgiveness
o. his persecution to me. He said he was
sorry, and l know he was sincere and meant
it.
He was the first to get well, and a marked
change was noticeable in his actions. The
captain and the mate still mistrusted him. l
did not; | believed his narrow escape from
death had frightened him and brought re-
form.
By the time we reached the gulf stream
all hands on board were well again, and
everything was working as smoothly pos
sible.
At length we were within few hundred
miles of port, off Cape Hatteras, only well
lookout and kept man in the foretop.
Hi, there, below! On deck, there, hill"
shouted the foretop lookout man of our
watch on the second night he was stationed
there.
"Aye, aye!" replied the mate, running for
ward until ne stood beneath the foremast.
"Helo, alofti"
Revolving light off the port-bow, sir, about
half point abaft the cathead."
Revolving light" repeated the mate, in a
tone of surprise. "Are you sure?"
aye, sir! 1t keeps showing up, then going
out again like, sir. Must be one O. them as
turns round"
The mate disappeared in the wheelhouse
aft for second, then brought out the ships
telescope, with which he scanned the spot in
dicated by the lookout.
Twice he carefully examined it. All hands
on board looked in the same direction. 1t
could be plainly seen from the deck without
the aid of a glass.
"Looks like the Hatteras light" growled an
old tar, uneasily, as he paced the deck and
emitted short, snappy, nervous puffs of smoke
from a stubby, black clay pipe. 81 used to
work ON Nickerson's line between Boston and
Savanny, and don't know no other around

uncle, my mothers brother He cared for me
after fashion from the time i was two
years old until he died.
After his death it was found out that he
had been in almost destitute circumstance
a fact which his proud old spirit had refused
to acknowledge while he lived, and in con-
sequence had never suspected.
When his effects were sold there still re-
mained several unpaid accounts, which
made up my mind / would settle for out of
gratitude for his sef-denial in caring for me
through my boyhood days.
The largest amount OF his Indebtedness was
owed to Mr.. Jonas Grpp rich wharfinger,
who accepted my offer to work for him for a
small sum per week and board. He was to
retain the money each week until | had
squared my uncle's debt. 1t was almost a

With another IA and cost 20
with anosher 10 and cost so.
with another Is and cost 90;
with another 20 and cost 100:

Here's an example. Professor Irvine. of
the Academys Mercersburg, Pa, painted the
floors of his dormitories every year; one year
with one paint. next year with the paint of

ness between them-till Devoe came to town.
The job took 80 gallons; takes 60 Devoe
The difference 30 gallons. $3.50 He didn't

In my opinion Sheriff Jas. A. Chow
ming has collected and paid over in the
last four years as large amount in fines
and costs as has his deputy, Jas. r.
Gresham, and would also say that Mr..
Chowning's office returns are straight
in this office.
VIM. Chiffon, Clerk,
Lancaster, Va, October 31st, 1907.
When too late to get exact amount
of collections of fines and costs paid
over to Clerk VIM. Chiffon, got from
him over phone the statement above.
Could have known that Mr.. Gresham
intended to get his collections before
the people, could easily have gotten
mine also, which will amount to as much
or more collected and paid over, as the
law requires, and for which hold the
clerks receipts.
Very Respectfully,

CARD FROM JAS. 7. BEANIE.

EDITOR CITIZEN:-I wish to beg space
in your paper to make known to my
fellow citizens my plans as candidate
for the Supervisorship of Heathsville
District, Northumberland county, Va.
AS l have been approached on the road
question, as to how stand, and it seems
a very important one with the people,
L beg to say if / am elected have
my plans in view as to the arrangement
First of all l intend to put the roads out
in reach of the people, giving all men
chance to work on the roads who wish
to do so. l expect to go around the
district and look after the roads; allot to
each man who wantsit piece of road to
work, paying him fair price per day
and require him to make ten hours for
a day. l have been informed that GER
tain parties are getting three dollars
per day; that they can do as they please,
employ hands or go and do the work
themselves. This is an outrage. /
furthermore understand there has been
much money spent on the roads in
this district, and yet the roads are not
improved. | ask the people to look into
this matter carefully, and if what have
said meets their approval, then / shall
expect the votes<of my friends; if you
think other than this, why can't re-
tract my views. If elected l expect to
do my duty as near as can and please
my fellow citizens, and l ask them
to give me a chance; and then, if
l should fail to do what have promised,
put me out and put some one else in.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES T. BEANIE.
