The Methodist Sunday school
has been rehearsing very fine
cantata entitled, "Santa Claus
and His Friends. which will be
presented at the church to-
morrow evening in connection
with the Christmas tree exer-
cises. The cantata has for
plot a villainous attempt to
handicap Santa Claus and de-
prive him of his popularity, but
this is happily frustrated. The
story is told in some stirring
solos and choruses with the act
ors in full costumes.
Christmas Day services in the
Methodist Church. Subject for the

bers, topped by ornate carvings, and
having two companionways leading up,
one OF them crushed into splinters.
The forward shutters were tightly
closed, and the whole front appeared
a solid mass of glittering ice, so OBJ
scured by frozen particles OF snow as
to render any discovery of the door an
impossibility. We began hacking at
it with our knives, judging the opening
would naturally be at the center but
the sheathing Of ice proved so thick
and solid that we made little impress

CHAPTER xxlII.-Continued.

Yet, little by little, my mind began
grasp the details. Mist or reality,
there directly before us fioated what
appeared to be the outlines of ship
battered. wrecked, odd in form-yet a
ship, moving upright upon the surface
of the water. Good God! what mad
dream of the past was represented yon-
der! Those round, blunt bows, the broken
straight upward; the great carven,
shapeless figurehead beneath the
wide, elevated forecastle deck; the
seemingly tremendous thickness Of the
bulwarks; the strange slope of deck
and rail amidships; the immense rem
nant of foremast towering in splint-
ers; the broad, square stern, even
overlapping the height of the peaked
forecastle. That was grim thing to
meet with in those waters.
Stand by, men," / called, the trem-
bic still in my command "If the thing
yonder be wood and iron we'll board
her"
teyte and motionless, every eye still
ON that dim, phantom CLEAN. With
clenched teeth I pressed the tiller
hard down, and the bows OF the long
boat headed straight in. Suddenly De

held on, the fellows staring UP silently
at the bulging side, and touching the
thick sheathing of ice as though half
demented.
Make fast. Break the ice out of
that ring, Kelly, and pass a stout rope
through it. Now furl the sail, the
rest of you. Fend her off, Cole; that's
all right, keep your oar there. Mr..
De Nova, you will remain in charge
of the boat. I'll see what she looks
like aboard; Johnson, come along with
me-
| picked my way forward into the
bows and stood up, striving to obtain
some kind of grip on the forechains
which would enable me to haul myself
up. Everything | touched was ice, so
thick as to render objects shapeless.
"Give me a lift, Kelly; easy, now,
until l get a handhold. There, that
will do, my lad"
1t was a slippery, dangerous perch,
the vessel plunging somewhat, but the
upper ice was slightly powdered with
snow, yielding a little purchase, and
finally discovered a brace for my feet
which enabled me to reach down and
assist Johnson to scramble up beside
me. Fortunately the bulwarks were
not so high proportionately as wide,
and we succeeded in sliding over
them, coming down rather heavily on
the solid deck. Here the snow made
walking possible, although underneath
the ice was thick and smooth, com
pelling caution. All forward was ter
rible rattle of wreckage, a jumbled
mass of tangled spars, with the great
topmast and all its hamper right
where it had fallen, a portion of the
port bulwark smashed fiat. A hum
mock of ice rose like a great hill from
abaft the butt of the foremast, which
stuck up maybe 80 feet, clear over the
forecastle deck, leaving everything
shapeless and grotesque. Where the
slope was steepest, the wind had swept
away the snow leaving the ice beneath
clear and there, frozen completely
in, like painted picture, was the fully
revealed body of a man. / never saw
any sight more grewsome than that
ice-shrouded figure; the arms out
stretched, the short. black beard rem
dering more CHASTITY the white, dead
face. l gripped my hands onto John
sons shoulder, and he was shaking
like an aspen, his own face colorless
in the moonshine. / wheeled him
about savagely.
Don't lose your nerve, man. You've
seen dead men before. Come, there's
nothing to do here; we'll try how she
looks aft"
He followed me like a dog, casting
uneasy glances backward over his
shoulder. The deck was clearer OF
raffie beyond the foremast, great
gap in the port-bulwarks amidships
showing where the wreckage had
probably been swept overheard. The
mainmast had been ripped out, hav-
ing a great. ugly cash in the deck
plank. and in falling had so smashed
fat one corner of the cooks galley that
we could look in through the jagged
opening thus left. All the front por'
tion was snow and ice, but the further
extremity appeared dry enough, re-
vealing a brick oven, table screwed
to the wall, and an overturned scuttle

desirable spot, yet would afford pro-
lection from the frosty night wind,
and be much better than the open
boat. Besides, realized how those
others must feel down there, bobbing
up and down against those ice-caked
sides.
Johnson" l said, my eyes wander
ing toward the dimly revealed front of
the after-cabin, which appeared utter
ly shapeless under its mantle. We've
got quite a job ahead of us to break
through this wreckage. I'm for hav-
ing the rest Of the crew up to help
us. Climb over into the main-chains
and cut out some steps with your
knife. Well have them drop back
there and unload. Then the women
won't be obliged to see that dead man
for'ard."
He was some minutes at the task,
and / occupied the time in kicking
aside some of the litter in the galley
and making the dreary interior a bit
more decent, having the men pass up
some spare blankets, and spreading
them out on deck. Finally Kelly and
the negro scrambled up, and between
us we succeeded in lifting Lady OAR
lington and Celeste over the icy bull
warks. The latter clung sobbing to
De Nova, but my lady gazed about her
wondsringly, her eyes full of ques-
tions. Without speaking we slowed
them away under shelter.
she Is certainly a relic" l paused
long enough to say, zone of the old
timers in these seas. From the look
of her she must have been locked up
in the ice south there for a century"
do you expect to sail her north
ward?"
Il hardly know yet what to expect
that remains to be seen. She seems
to ride the water stanchly enough and
there is fully 30 feet of mast standing
yonder. Anyhow, this deck at pres.
ent is better than an open boat"
'But-but 1t is all so CHASTITY, so
ghost-like-Celeste Is fairly crazy from
the horror"
1T is merely the effect of the moon
light glimmering on the ice; every.
thing is fee wherever your eyes turn.
But you are safe enough here, and
with daylight the ghostliness OF 1t will
vanish"
where are you going now?"
ITO break into the cabin; then we
will have a decent place in which to
stay-perhaps chance for a fire. 1t
is not likely to prove long job, and
| will be back to you shortly. Don't
let the night shadows frighten you SO. "
She smiled back into my eyes brave
ly enough, although / realized the ef-
fort of will that it cost; and so l left
her endeavoring to cheer the girl, who
was sobbing wildly, with her face
buried in her hands.
The men joined me as l stepped
without, crunching the light snow un-
der their heavy boots, and staring un-
easily about them as though the whole
adventure was a dream. Lord and
no more could | shake off that same
impression as 1 surveyed the scene
aft. A boat, bottom up, the planks
smashed beyond repair, lay against
the starboard rail. The after-cabin,

mouth wide open; Kelly jerked his

great feet pounding the snow; while

QUINCY. III, Oct. e.-Believeing the

and fell like shot to the first floor,
struck the elevator, went through the
steel-grated roof and through the ele-
vator floor to the basement. Both
limbs were broken and she SUSTAINED
many other injuries and bruises which
miraculously now seem not to be fas
tai
DR.. T. B. Knox, the Home physician,
was hurriedly summoned, and after
an examination he directed that the
injured woman be taken to ST Marys
hospital This was done, and, as
sisted by DR.. Otis johnson, thorough
examination was made to ascertain
the full extent of the injuries Both
lower limbs were broken between the
ankles and knees-being comminuted
fractures-and the bones protruded
through the flesh. The right hand
was badly gashed, and there were
numerous and serious bruises as evil
dence of the awful compact with the
elevator At last reports from ST.
Mary's last night Sister Lucretia was
resting as well as may be expected
and Dr. Knox stated that he does not
believe the injuries will prove fatal.
In performing her duties about the
home Sister Lucretia had gone to the
attic on the fifth floor. She went up
on the elevator, and when she had at
tended to the work which called her
to the attic, stepped back, supposedly
into the car. The attic being dimly
lighted, the sister had failed to no.
tice that the elevator had gone down.
She stepped into the vacancy and took
the awful fall, distance Of at least
sixty-f1ve feet. Keeping her wits ad.
mirably, she attempted to catch her
self on the sides of the shaft. In this
she was unsuccessful, but IN so doing
alighted sQuarely on her feet. The
construction of the elevator made the
cage serve as spring, and this prob
baly broke some of the force of the
fall However, the momentum of the
body was so great that the cage roof
was broken through, as was the floor.
Sister Lucretia displayed heroic
fortitude while awaiting the arrival Of
the physician, and spent the time in
directing the other sisters gathered
around her as to the treatment of in.
mates Of the home who were under
her especial care. She retained her
self control throughout the hours of
racking pain and gave little vent to
her feelings OF misfortune.

His cart contained his family as well
