The Astonishing Part.

Lord Townshend at the battle Of
Dettingen was standing quite near
a drummer boy whose brains we're
dashed out by a cannon ball. His
lordship gazed on the horrible spec
tacle for some moments in silence.
At last an old officer spoke up
and said: "Why is your lordship
surprised? Such things must hap
pen in war;"
"I know it," was the reply, "but
what astonishes me is that boy
with so much brains should be here

ow Jerrold to say yes" to him, and
nobody except the captain wanted to
get Widow Abigail to say yes" to
him. Naturally the two widows hated
each other. The captain boarded at
Widow Jerrolds house when his ship
was in port.
Hes going to get Widow Abigail"
I said to Widow Jerrold
Maybe" she answered, with her
shy smile. 1T will be a good thing
for him, perhaps"
Why" l asked obviously.
Captain Israel" said Widow Jer-
rold, needs a woman's refining influ-
ence in his life. Widow Abigail has
been teaching him to stop drinking
and swearing"
That was true enough. Captain Is
rael was becoming q changed man.
Everybody could see it in his manner.
When his mate let the rope slip and q
box of blankets went overheard down
among the lobster pots. the captain
turned q CLASSY eye on him.
"You-you-you please be 20 kind
- to be . bit more cautious, Mr..
Ford" he said.
Aye. sir" said the mate, trembling
in his shoes.
Captain Israel was on the reforming
tack. He drank nothing but milk and
barley water. and his speech was Is
mild a. q pet lambs. He came into
port with dirty ship and . mutinous
crew, and calling them all mister.
He was very much distressed that
evening when he came back from
Widow Abigail's.
She isn't satisfied yet" he told
Widow Jerrold. she says l got to
stop smoking, too. l smoked since
was kid. It's hard-it's hard"
"A good womans love is worth
fighting to win, Captain Israel" re-
marked Widow Jerrold.
He frightened up at that. Widow
Abigail had promised to let him ask
her to marry him the next time his
ship came in, provided he hadn't
smoked in the meantime. However, a
contretemps marked his arrival. His
men had mutinied fatty. and he had
knocked one of them down, reduced
the remainder to subsection and got
things in apple-pie order. The news
spread fast and far. Captain Israel
received the worst tongue-lashing
Widow Abigail had ever given him.
"She says I'm a backslider," re-
marked the captain to Widow Jerrold.
'She says I'll have to start in again
and make a new record"
But think of the Joy of winning
Widow Abigail" said Widow Jerrold.
Think of the happiness of sitting
down to dinner with her every eve
ming, of seeing her dear face opposite
your own. Think of spending a whole
life in Widow Abigails company, Cap
tain Israel. There aren't many wom-
en- like Widow Abigail"

keep a larger boy employed to pro-
vide the necessary material. Some
days he appears with as many as six
teen dogs and cans, and my rephews
have a delightful function. The eld-

CAPTAIN ISRAEL
BY GEORGE MUNSoN.

OF all the buckle captains along
the New England shore. Capt. Jonadab
Israel was the acknowledged master.
He could make a man see himself as
a white-livered cur instead Of hero
IN half-dozen of whitening words,
and he had string of language that
was the envy Of every sailorman
adoat. He had a fist like bowlder
and almost as hard. and a muscle as
big as an elephants leg behind it.
There had never been a tobacco made
that he couldn't smoke all day. and
all liquor tasted the same to him, ex-
cept water. which he said was poi
son.
He didn't have much trouble getting
crews, because, with all his failings,
he was fair man and the grub was
good. However, he was q terror at
times-before he met Widow Abigail
at Biddeford.
Widow Abigail had had her eye on
him for q long time, and the cap
tain knew 1t. The thought of some
day being allowed to marry Widow
Abigail was the star Of his life. No
matter II Widow Abigail was forty
seven and plump; no matter II she did
have q bit Of tongue, the captain
worshiped her
learned all about the affair from
little Mrs. Jerrold, who kept the sum-
mer boarding house where spend my
vacations. Widow Jerrold was thir-
ty-three, with mouse-colored hair and
peaches-and-cream complexion. She
had a shy, demure way that took with
the men. But nobody could get Wild.
