know not how many public dinners; he
had been heralded In know not how
many Weekly Argures and 1t was ru-
mored that he had nn army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t WAS a
great day-hls arrival--to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out In his
skiif, to show him cane-braSe or n
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know 1t, he lived as "A Man
without Country"
What Burr meant to do know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t Is none
OF our business just now. Only, when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferson and the House of Virginia Of
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Clarences OF the
then House of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage.

was proved guilty enough, as say
yet you and would never have heard
of him, reader, but that when the
president of the court asked him at the

close, whether he wished to say any
thing to show that he had always been
faithful to the United States, he cried
out, In a fit Of frenzy:
Oh the United States! wish
may never hear of the United States
agalnl"
l suppose he did not know how the
words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat In it had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their necks, had been
risked for the very idea which he so
cavalierly cursed In his madness. He,
on his part, had grown up in the West
of those days, In the midst OF Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest
His education, such as 1t was, had
been perfected in commercial expedi-
tons to Vera Cruz, and think he told
me his father once hired an English
man TO be private tutor for winter
on the plantation. He had spent half
his youth with an older brother, hunt
ing horses in Texas; and, in word, to
him United States" was scarcely n
reality. Yet he had been fed by unit

had been in the army. He bad sworn

do not excuse Nolan; only explain
to the reader why he damned his coun-
try, and wished he might never hear
her name again.

again. From that moment, Septem-

ly radiance, and she stopped short. In
no other public part Of the vessel could
one-or two-have found greater
privacy.
Two, at least, seemed to have
thought of that. In that fan-shaped
space behind the deckbouse, close by
the singing meter of the log, Craven
stood with Mrs. Merrilees In his arms
Wholly unaware that they were not
alone, these two clung to each other,
lips sealing lips In the ecstasy Of long
and passionate embrace, moveless save
as they yielded to the motion of the
ship.
Lydia stood rooted in incredulous
embarrassment. In that pitiless wash
Of naked moonlight she could not fail
to recognize the woman. She was Mrs.
Merrilees beyond question, gowned pre-
cisely as she had been that first night
out, forever to be a figure of radiant
loveliness in the galleries of Lydia's
memory.
But that the other, her lover, could
be Thaddeus CraYen--imposslble A
passing likeness to his sturdy but
graceful figure-aeceiving eyes too
eager to recognize beloved parent: it
could be nothing more than that. I'm
possible that he, her father, could be
the lover of woman but little Older

Whales.

Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water In which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up in the air.
A land animal, If 1t becomes too large,
cannot hold its body Off TIE ground
or readily move about. and Is doomed
to certain destruction. But whale
has to face none Of these problems
and can grow without restraint.
Because whales live In supporting

FIRST iNsTALLMENT.

No document in actual Amer
lean history conveys a more
powerful lesson Of what citizen
ship In this republic means, none
delivers more searching appeal
to loyalty, than this fanciful re-
cital Of the Man Without a
Country. The unhappy creature
whose living death II has graved
upon the memory Of mankind
was but figure born Of a writ
er's imagination. Yet, the ae-
count Of his passionate outburst
and Of his dreadful espiation
stirs the duIIest soul, and will
awaken emotion In the minds
of readers Of generations yet un-
born. There can be no more ar
resting lesson for the disIoyai or
the needless, no more inspiring
appeal TO the spirit Of true Amer
icanism, than this memorable
work Of literary art and high
souled patriotism.]

TT WAS sEFFY WHO WAS SACKED

TT WAS sEFFY WHO WAS SACKED"
So they three went to church on a
certain Sunday. Sally sat on the
women's side" and Scffy and Sam on
the mems side" in full view Of the
d" audience which perceived and un-
dcrstood and was ready AT the proper
time to applaud, from the preacher to
the section-to raise or lower it's thumbs
upon the combatants.
When the benediction had been said
Scffy FASTENED out and found himself
"A place-closc to the door, according to
his fathers word-in one of the lines
of young men which stretched on either
side of the path from the church door
to the road beyond, at least a quarter
OF IA mile. But he did not see Sam.
Some one pushed in front of him.
And, instead of combating for his
position, he yielded it and found one
further down, still seeking the location
of his rival. He was crowded from this
one, too, and he let it go and sought
another one because he had not seen
Sam. And it was necessary to his
fathers scheme, he remembered, that
Sam and he should be about opposite.
OF course, all this was error. His place
was right by the church door. That
was where Sally had a right to expect

town tomorrow. That is my game.
And Pm playing for the pot"
You see that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for a moment, even if Sctfy had
forgotten him. He stepped noiselcssly
three PAGES toward Sally, crossed in
front of Scffy and took her arm. There
was a laugh almost ribald. Seffy could
not see clcarly-hc could. least of all,
think clearly-he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.
1t did not reach Sally at all, but
Sam, who turned and said with an
imitation of girlish politeness:
THANK you, Mr.. Baumgartner, Pm
suited"
And, Sally, her face flaming with ven
geance, took the trouble to urn back
and cry-not in to his ear, but into his
very heart:
"Thank you, Pm suited"
There are some people to whom no
punishment seems sufficient, while any
remains to be administered. One Of
the onlookers was of such a sort. He
cried out as poor Seffy skunk away.
"Give her back her dollarl"
And another:
cor ninety-nine cents, anyhow"
Seffy quailed and drew back from
the line-it was the instant that makes
or mars-and he had lost. He might
still have knocked Sam down and won
this would have been perfectly proper
but he followed the man who had
but a moment before crushed through
the line, and wild jeers followed him.
