Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in a recent
article in the Youths Companion, re-
ferred to a story told him by an Off
Ger who had sailed on the Portsmouth
off the African coast, hunting for
slavers- The story goes that the
Portsmouth was once challenged to
race by a foreign man-of-war, and
sailed round the foreigner twice.
The admiral regards this as a good
sea yarn which he is content to leave
undisturbed. A correspondent who
was on board the Portsmouth at the
time writes to the Companion that in
the log which he kept of the cruise he
finds the facts which bear out the
story On November II, 1859, the
Archer, British sloop of war, and the
Portsmouth were lying at anchor off
Kensington, West Africa Both got
under way about the same time, all
sails set, and started on a trial of
speed. Whether the race had been
planned or was an informal brush"
is not recorded, but it is true that in
the race that followed the Portsmouth
sailed clean round the Archer. The
evident establishment of the incident
to make it worthy sea yarn is the

CHAPTER XVII.
The Conquest of the Heart OF Sally

The Conquest of the Heart OF Sally 3.
Forty years ago, daring surgeons
did not so often undertake to better
natures work, make joints where
none had been, remake organs that
had not fulfilled their functions
Alvin Carter, despite his cheerful
ness, had ever silently rebelled against
his crutch. And when the idea was
born to him that he might have his leg
broken and made straight, he never
halted till he found a surgeon willing
to add his skill to Alvin's money and
pluck.
Three years with scarcely a days
vacation had won for him promotion
and the confidence of officers as well
as of fellow employees Thus Alvin
had the great eye and sympathy of the
governor himself behind his brave
venture into unfamiliar realms of
surgery. When Alvin came through
with two straight legs, the tri1ing
shortness of one being corrected by
high heel, he gladly accepted the di-
version of a trip to the Front while
he was learning to walk on two feet
Fresh from those exciting scenes. he
presented himself at Sally BIS home.
Not for one moment had he faltered in
his determination to win Viola, If she
remained true, and he never doubted
her. Yet now, sitting in the most
beautiful room he had ever seen, per-
turbed by the obsequious buffers i'll
concealed disdain when he had to send
up his name instead of the requested
card-all in an instant Viola grew re-
mote, his aspiration to her preposter-
GUS The modest cottage he had
thought out-the plans were in his
pocket waiting her approval-seemed
but miserable hut beside this mag
nificent palace
Time for his heart to CONCEAL had
been ample when Sally B. swept into
the room, paused a chilling instant,
and came forward with her most i'm

had instantly noted and approved his
erect manliness, his resolute counte-
nance. Her heart warmed to him. He
belonged to her world, appreciated
her. Yet ambition held the rein. She
suspected his errand. and purposely
put him at disadvantage, plying him
with questions, intending to leave him
no opportunity for personal topics.
But for once she met her equal. She
took the one topic that could best fire
him; and in turn he caught her spirit
in the flame of his enthusiasm and
consumed her society veil in a single
sentence.

privino a Good BARGAIN.

The BARRIERS small son was IN the
habit of playing around his fathers
shop, and he was always keenly In
terested in the patrons Many q
stray penny found its way into the
little chubby hand, and sticks of gum
were dropped in quite as though by
accident Judge Williams drifted into
the shop the ctner afternoon for a
hair cut. The lad recognized the fact
that the Judge was a new patron, and
so was more than ordinarily inter
ested in him. He hung at the foot
of the chair and looked musingly at
the judges bald head Then he
walked slowly to the back of the
chair and surveyed the scanty fringe
of hair from that point of vantage.
He could contain himself no longer
and burst out incrednlously: Father,

Denial Of the probability of war
between Japan and the United States
would be gratuitous if there were not
so much persistent talk about the
dreadful possibility. 1t may be worth
while to collect three recent utter
ances on the subject by persons who
know. A French officer who has been
in Japan making a dispassionate study
of military matters, says. in effect,
that Japan is physically incapable of
war with the United States. The
American ambassador to Japan, Mr..
O'Brien, says that war talk is absurd.
Marquis Katsura, the new head of the
Japanese cabinet, supports his asser-
ton that Japan is bent on peace by
pointing out that the financial problem
of Japan is sufficient to engross her
for some time to come. War between
this country and Japan is possible; so
is war between any two nations But
it is a perverse jingoism which tries
to brighten folk with so nebulous a
possibility.
