Story of a Black Car.

A court martial was being held on
board the Hibernia at Malta for the
trial of a gunner who had been drink
ing not wisely but too well. The evil
dence had been taken, the finding de-
cided on and the court cleared to con-
slider the sentence. The court was re
opened and the prisoner ushered In.
Hardly had he crossed the threshold
when, to the establishment of the mer1-
bers of the court, he threw himself
face downward, uttered wild shrek
and pleaded piteously for mercy. Ey-
cry one looked at the president, and
the reason for the prisoners strange
behavior at once dawned on their per-
picked minds. The presidents hair on
top was conspicuous by its absence,
and In private life he invariably wore
a black skulcap. Now, the Hibernin
was one of the draftiest ships In the
navy, and the deliberations had been
somewhat long, so in the prisoners alb
sence the president had covered his
head with its usual protector but on
the mans re-entry quite forgot to
hide 1t by putting on his cooked hat
The unfortunate gunner, whose nerves
were somewhat unstrung as result
Of his recent debauch, jumped at the
conclusion that the wearing OF the
black cap by the president signified
that he was to be hanged for his Of
Tense, instead of which his punishment
turned out OF be few days In the
cells.-London p. T. o.
