they helped the men they loved to
man the boat that bore them away to
seek some desert island. After SAIL
ing for many days in. the extreme
southern tropical sea the rock Of Pit
cairn arose before them.
Twenty years later a British mer-
chantman sighted by chance the lone
rock in the southern Pacific and sent
a boat shore. To the establishment
of the crew, dusky men and women ran
down to the heath to welcome them
in their own tongue and claimed to be
English" Only one old man among
them, Adams, of pure British blood
still survived. He was found, Bible in
hand, teaching in the little Sunday
school which he had built and where
he had educated the children Of the
colony and taught them the tenets Of
the Christian faith.
When the news reached England q
-.sh man-of-war was sent for the
last of the mutineers Of the Bounty.
Aboard was a kings pardon for
Adams, so that, after all, he died a
E....sh subject, surrounded by his
dusky children and grandchildren.
The colony was then removed from
the faraway southern isle to Tahiti,
but homesickness overcame its men,
bers and they returned to the verdant
rock.-New Idea Magazine.

A SOUTH SEA ROMANCE.
Tho Mutiny Long Ago on tho Bounty
British Man. War.

Who has not heard of the mutiny
Of the Bounty? The romance of 1t
still fingers from one end Of the Paci-
fic to the other. The descendants of
the mutineers of the British man-of-
war and their dusky wives are living
and bear English names made IA
NOUS or Infamous more than a CEN
tury ago.
The British man-of-war had gone
to Tahiti. The commander, Blythe,
was harsh and cruel to his men. The
women Of Tahiti loved the fair skin
ned sailors and sought to hide them
from Blythe, their oppressor but they
were captured, and the ship sailed
away, but only to return. When II
returned, in command was Fletcher
Christian, midshipman, and a score OF
mutineers. The brute Blythe and his
loyal companions had been set adrift
in an open boat. Marvellous to relate,
after traversing thousands Of miles
tralian coast. Here they found a ha-
ven Of refuge at a British outpost
For twenty years all trace Of Fletcher
Christian and his companions was
lost, although searching expedition
after expedition was sent to Tahiti by
the British government.

A SALE OF ANTIQUES.
The Trick shrewd Dealer Played on
an Astute Banker.

al tStuto 6ankoFs
A story told in the Memories of
an Old Collector" makes clear the
tricks in trade to which an unscru-
pulous dealer in antiquities will re-
sort in order to get q large sum for
his wares. The two parties were
Alessandro Castellani, the clever deal
er, and Baron Adolph Rothschild Of
Paris.
Castellani had managed to get hold
Of superb enameled ever, together
with the dish on which 1t stood. He
knew that Baron Adolph had a fancy
for objects Of this kind. but he also
knew that Rothschild was never car
ried away by his fancy as to pay more
than was reasonable for anything that
pleased him. Castellani devised a bit
Of strategy.
The baron on arriving In Rome
visited Castellani's shop and was
shown the best things the dealer had
except the enameled dish and ever.
When everything else had been in
spected Castellani drew from hidden
cupboard the dish, but not the ever.
The baron was so pleased with the
dish that he agreed to buy the lot of
which 1t was part, for one Of the
customs Of the shop was not to sell a
rare specimen apart from the group
Of which It formed the principal OBJ
ject. The baron paid heavily for the
whole, lamenting that there was no
ever to stand on the dish, and de-
parted for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent
who told him of an old lady who wish
ed to sell several beautiful majolica
pieces. He visited her house in the
country and was disappointed. AS
the majolica lady, seemingly chagrin-
ed, left the room to order refresh
ments the baron saw through the
open door of a bedroom a ever COW
cred by glass shade on which rest
ed wreath Of immortelles.
When the lady returned the baron
asked permission to examine the ew-
er. 1t was brought out, and the
baron saw that the enamel was of
the same work as that Of the dish he
had bought, but he wished to be GER
tain that the foot of the ever would
fit into the hollow Of the dish. He
inquired the price Of the ever and
was told by the lady that 1t was not
for sale. as 1t was the only souvenir
she possessed Of her husband.
The baron went back to his rooms,
had the dish unpacked and found that
the foot of the ever fitted 1t perfect
ly. The next day the baron sent the
agent to offer the old lady a princely
sum for the ever. He brought back
a refusal to sell. But at last the WI
dow's scruples were overcome.
Castellani, with his Italian cunning,
had planned the whole affair. The
agent who called ana the old lady
who was sentimental were his aids in
making the baron pay much larger
sum than he would have given had the
ever and dish been sold together. The
Italian shopman's scheme had taken
in one Of the most astute of business
men.

Elizabeth's death was FASTENED by
remorse that she had ordered the ex-
ecution Of Essex, and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after the loss
of Calais, declaring that the name Of
that city would be found after death

Edward Ills son, the Black Prince,
caused the aged monarch to die Of
grief. SO. after the loss Of his son in

THE SOLDIERS FATHER.
A Story of General Wheeler During tho
War With Spain.

War With Spain.
A story told of General Joseph
Wheeler by one who is described in
the New York Times as having seen
the incident, illustrates again the old
saying that the great men are the
simplest and kindliest.
"It was at Montauk during the war
with Spain," he began. with sever
al other officers I was in General
wheeler's tent, and we were busy with
details Of supplying the hospitals.
Outside there was a group Of ci-
villains. They were waiting to get
passes to see friends in the hospital.
Most Of them carried baskets filled
with dainties which had to be inspect
ed so that the soldiers would not be
killed with kindness.
Among the civilians there was one
who was burdened by nothing heavier
than his stolid sadness. They had all
crowded close in their eagerness to
get the passes, when one Of the off,
GERS Of the medical corps ordered the
sergeant to shove them back and with
unnecessary gruffness told them to go
about their business, as General
Wheeler was too busy to see them for
some hours.
1.-THE big mamie looked to be a
German, and he was one-was in
slant in obedience, but the others
were moving back slowly when
Wheeler threw open the flap Of his
tent and asked what the trouble was.
Here are lot Of people, the Of
ficer replied, who want hospital
passes. None Of US has had anything
to eat since breakfast, and 80 I told
them to go away
"'As I have had no luncheon In
three days. Wheeler replied, I think
you might miss lunch just once and
then he turned to the group.
"The big German drew himself into
as soldierly a position as his age and
robustness would permit. He saluted
as they do in Europe, palm forward.
General Wn66leT dQVdICSu, dhS"OiCo
the salute and asked what he could
do for him.
"T know by telegraph mine boy Is
dead said the German. My frau Is
too much mid sorrow to come, and,
respectfully, general, want his body
to bury in the Lutheran cemetery.
You will give that permit?'
General Wheeler extended both
hands to his visitor and said: My
heart is with you, sir, and 1 am at
your service. There are horrors and
glories in war You have been a SOL
dier?'
Eyes I was hit three times at Sc
dam
"Then you are proud that your
boy died for his fiag?'
"'Yes, and God bless you, gener-
al
"Then General Wheeler said, 1
want you to see that this gentleman is
given the body Of his son and that 1t
is escorted to the train with a guard
Of honor"

SUPPLY OF ARMY HORSES.
Not Equal to Demand In England
French and German Stables.

The adequate supply Of horses for
the army, it would scarcely be denied,
is as essential to its efficiency as men
and guns. Yet in this vital particular
the government, as in so many other
questions relative to the defense Of the
country, has utterly failed to realize
its responsibilities, declares the Pail
Mall Gazette.
Sir Gilbert Parker is raising the
point in one Of its important aspects
now before the house Of commons. He
has given notice to call the attention
Of the secretary Of state for war to the
fact that German agents are exten-
sively buying 3-year-old horses suita-
BILE for army purposes in England, Ire
land and Wales.
There is no use Disgusting the
fact" said an expert on English horse
breeding, that the country is rapidly
being denuded of its best horses. and
the position is becoming acute.
1T is a regulation Of the war Office
that horses shall not be bought under
4 years old. This is the foreigners
chance Not only the Germans but
practically every Continental country
has agents bent on securing the very
pick Of the available 3-year-old. They
purchase especially young mares, which
Of course d. not return to this coun-
try. Thev are, therefore, reducing
both in quantity and number the sup
ply Of 4-year- olds obtainable by the
home authorities.
1.-The German and French govern
ments realize the value Of plentiful
supply. They have their own govern
ment breeding establishments and en-
courage horse breeding by subsidy I
believe France pays something like
300 900 francs a year in this respect.
Then they take care that only good
stations are employed.
1.-The principal causes Of the alarm
ing scarcity-for am convinced II war
broke out tomorrow we have not q suf-
ficient supply for the army-are the
unprecedented buying Of young horses
by foreign agents, the fact that far
mers are more and more giving up the
breeding Of horses, the increase in
mechanical traction, and the heavy de-
mand for horses during the late South
African War;"
