suddenly felt the presence Of another
person in the cabin. The lantern
hanging from the rafters swayed to
and fro, shadow fitted about the
room, and Hudson looked up into the
eyes Of man bending over him. He
lay motionless. yet In a shadowy cor
ner he could make out the features Of
another man.
Hudson cast his eyes toward his
towing piece, his hand stealing out
toward IL, but with q sudden bound
the man was on him, clutching him
by the throat and thrusting him back
on his bunk, The second man jumped
out OF the corner and the two Of them
tied his hands and feet and left his
resistless body ON the floor of the
cabin. The sound Of scufYling told OF
another struggle overhead, and he
knew his few supporters we're battling
with the mutineers. Then all became
quiet and Hudson vainly strove to
loosen the ropes that bound him.
Morning came and Hudson was car
ried above. Stretched out on the deck
he saw the forms OF his son and sew

boat, which was lowered with a splash
TO the surface of the water, and taken
In tow by the Half Moon and tugged
out to the open sea, and cut adrift.

demoniacal laughter over the stern
of the Half Moon, saw the men, by
mutual help, loosen their letters. But

gradually sank from the horizon OF
the marooned sailors.
From that day to this nothing has
been heard from Hudson Of his men.
Perhaps the waves have dashed them
selves into foam three centuries over
their bones; perchance they reached
land and were adopted by the Indians.
Who can tell?
There Is an old tradition, perpetual
ed by Washington Irving In his rat
Ting tale Of Rip Van Wrinkle. that the
shade OF Hudson long bowled In
sportive fashion with the phantom
dwarfs that made their home In the
Catskills and the Palisades along the
Hudson. the river which Hudson dis
covered. and which immortalizes his
name.

The Half Moon rode at her anchor
In Hudson bay.
II had been a hard winter, with the
bitter winds sweeping down from the
north, freezing fast the sturdy boat
In the firm grip of the ice. The men
at first mumbled. and then grumbled
openly. But Henry Hudson had no
aid to give. no hope to promise. For
he was In the age-old quest Of q

At last spring came. the Ice melted,

ground that the paper contained no

with which the signature was made

Father Should Allow the Little One
Some Choice and Permit indI-

In Lippincott's, Jane Belfield pointed
out some things which 1t would be
well for every parent to ponder.
The father does not pause to con-
slider that respect on both sides for
the individuality of each is the requis-
tie condition Of friendship" said Mrs.
Belfield He has expected his child
to conform to his point of view, and
its individuality has been threatened
from the beginning. No sane person
chooses his oppressor for his friend.
Having attained adolescence. the child
escapes from the dominion of his pa
rents as from bonds. Why should the
colt remain in the pasture when the
bars are down?
But II the wise parent has begun
early and allowed the child a choice Of
rattles; II he has remained, vigilantly
In the background and permitted his
child to occGpy the center OF its own
stage; II he &c protected It's play not

period the youth will conduct himself
as a self-directed individual, and not
as a runaway slave.
AS matter of fact. the child

fatally burnt. The boy whose finger
