I was loon gin along here, just as I might be today, only it was the beginnin of June*.when np oomes one of tho young toffs as was stayin at the big hotel. He know’d me, <h I know’d him, for we’d bin sailing an flshin together many times. He was a nioe vanng- feller, too, with at nup'Yj ways an a* handsome a iaee an manner of talkin as yon Over seed. ‘ “ ‘Stumps,’ says he—he. generally called me Stumps when there was busi ness aborft—‘Stumps, ’ he saja, ‘I wants to talk to you.’ “ ‘Yes, sir,’ I see, respectfullike, ’oos I oould see it wasn’t a story he wanted. “ ‘Stumps,’ he says agen—-makifl the seoond time he’d said it—-‘do you know what it is to be in love?’ “ ‘Well, sir,11 sea, easeful]ike, so as to hide my surprise, ‘I ’ve seen a good deal on i t ’ “ ‘Never mind what' you’vo seen, ‘ lie says, kinder riled. ‘I want to know whether you’ve got any sympathy for them as is in love. You an I h ate been friends, Stumps, ain’t we?’ “ ‘Corse we have, dr, ’ I sea, ‘an I ’d do anythink for you, if it was only for the Seabird’s sake, as you’ve said was the smartest craft abouts. ’ ’ “ ‘An yon like Miss Barclay, teo?’ he aska was oomplefely took back, tor,' bless yofi, there wasn’t a prettier nor sweeter nor nioewlady in Margit than Colonel Barclay’s darter, as hod taken a house for the season. Why, she used to oome down among us every day an bring us books an flowers an fruit on Sundays an talk an laugh just as if she was a com mon bein. An now I comes to rec’lect, I’d seen this young .feller—-Mr, Egerton was his name, and &' nice young feller, too—I’d seen him look a t ber and fojler hor, an I won’t say as wot he didn't speak to her sometimes, tbohgh that ain’t no business of mine nor youxd. “ Wbll, I tells him straight what I thinks of her, an he smilea all over his faoe an holds out his hand,.an I won’t deny as it struck me when he ho was just tho yotmg1 /euefc at gal like that wdukL^oLlHn itita “ ‘Como.fona salfr’Tls m y f ‘I'ean tell you Better then.1 “ So we gets the Seatdid, .m had been painted afrdsh, with A pair of triaog’lar yottiug flags on her' bows, an beats abont for awhile before h6 begins. “ ‘Stumps,’ he says,'‘it ain’t every man as I ’d trnst with my private con- earns, much less my love affairs, but I’ve took such a fanoy to you as Pcan’t let go on. I dessay,’ he says, ‘it’ll sur prise yon as Miss Barclay’s a-goin to inarry me some day, but as >he.old '—I forget what the precise word was—‘but as the colonel ain’t agreeable to the match we air agoin to take the tiller in our own hands and ran for the fust op portunity as offers. ^Now, Stumps,’ he says, ‘you’re a good sailor ans a brave man,, an the Seabird’s the smartest craf t on the ooast, an it seems* to me as we conld do this job better and more'ef- feotooallike by sea than we oould by land. Yon need have no fear of the oon- sekens, ’ he says, ‘ 'oea I ’ve got plenty of money, an Miss Barclay is old enuff to know her own mind, an It's only beoauae the oolonel’s stoh a selfish old grampus as. he won’t let .her many de- centlike.

Bat I conld see as the Sylph was a-gainin on us fast an sure, an I never felt ao mis’rable in my life, sir, as I did then, when I felt the Seabird, as I ’d sailed in and sworn by, was no match for the neat little craft as was a-oomin up, behind.

The wind had freshened cqsaid- ’rable, but I beid the Seabird to it, an We was both a-dancin over the waves like petrela Ibough I fanded as I seed the Sylph take a deal of water. An still them two Sfit there a-oomfortln one another, as Loould see, though I never heard a Word of what they said. Onoe 1 looked at ’em, an I thought I seed h e r a-prayin, a n i t q u ite took th e sta r c h put of me for a-time to think as I ’d bin a-trustin all the time to the Seabird an never thought of the God above. X never .was no Christian, sir, an I peyi “ Well, I didn’t like to show J t, b u t a n e heed of them iky pilots ns:dome among us, but I think I did say some thin for her soke then, though I couldn’t pnt rny hands together proper like, sefein as, I ’d got hold of the tiller tight and fast. ^ “ Ih another ten minutes the Sylph was only a quarter of a mile astern an was comin with her canvaB stretched an splittiu the water as if it was noth- in. Just as Tom yelled out somethin as I couldn't hear I looked round, an there was the colonel a-standin in the hows with a rifle in his hands, a-takin aim for us. I just hollered in time, an as we heard a whistlin overhead we looked up an seed a little hole in the lug an the old fool was * s tands tber* takjn another aim. 1 tell sRr the 'bombardment of that ’em) Spanlsfa leet wnrn’t in it. Bang went the guu, air whittle oome the shot over our heads, but only onoe did he hit anythink be side the fust time, an then the bullet went rfght into . the mast an Btopped there. Master. Egerton and the missy, they sot there aq. never said a word, but I caught a sight of tho yonug feller’s face once when he got ,up an looked astern, aq I reckon he’d ha’ done some damage if he’d got p e a r that gun an the fool* an was handlln it; !‘When he’d fired about a dozen shots, he stopped an I ventured to look up, an lure enough the Sylph was within hail On oomin along a t she’d bin a-doin all llbe time, “ fSeabird, ahoy,’ yells the colonel, iu a voice as I could bear was ohoked with rage. ‘Stop, or I ’ll sink you!’ “ ‘Sylph, ahoy, * I shouted back, ' What’s the matter? You ain’t all mad, air you?’ “ ‘firing that boat to this instant,’ he yells, ‘or I ’ll riddle you, an let you to down without help!’ “ ‘Go on, then, 11 yells, ‘only you’ve got to do better or you’ll have noEhots “ With that I flops down agen in the stern, jnst as another shot comes fiyin through the lug. Then another goes away overhead, an the next buries itseif iu the tiller head an nearly knocks it out o’ my hand. Then young Egerton, I sees him kiss the gal aa he gets up on his feet “-‘Stop flrinl’ he yells. ‘ Your, darter M M « l s /Nittr an for her sake I beg •• ‘No, darlln,’ne answers. •«'s‘oniy a scratch. ’ . “ An them’s the only lovin words I ever heard ’em speak. “ Well, the colonel must bn’ thought he’d killed him, for the .firin ceased al together, an when I looks astern agen the ole man was a-sittin in the bows, a-waitin patiently for'the Sylph to ran alongside us. I oould see the lad at the tiller was one. of the boat boys from Margit, an he’d got all he could do to kee£ the Sylph’s head to it, an I some how thought as how the gent could be better employed lookin aftpr-the sail than sittin there like a dumuiy. The breese was a-freshenin all the time, an the sea was a-gettin lip, so 1 took in a bit of sail and eased the Seabird. I t was luclky I did, for just at that moment, when the Sylph was within three boat lengths, a gust of wind come down on\ us as made the Seabird heel an shoot away in it. I looked round, an, sure enough, them fools on the Sylph hadn’t taken In a bit of sail, an as the wind strnok her over she went like a ninepin, an the old man an the lad shot out into the foamin water. “ For a masnent I was undecided how to act, but young Egerton, he sprung to his feet in an instant “ ‘Lower the sail,’ he yells. ‘Down with.your helm, ’ “ An down comes the sail „an down goes the helm, an the Seabird turns on her heel in a manner as makes my hair stand on end to think on. But the way on her was stopped as the colonel was a-drownin, for I knowed he couldn’t swim more nor a few strokes, en I oould see the Iadihad got enough to do to hang on to an oar. m “ The old man never, uttered a cry nor looked for help, bnt the gal, .his only darter, she rose to her knees an cried, ‘Harry, save -him, for my sake!’ An Harry—bless him, he Was the finest young feller I ever seed—he sprang over the side au swam as if he’d' never bin shot a t all. Just a dozen long strokes an he was alongside an grabbed tbe colonel by the neok just as be was a-goin down. We were with ’em in a mmit, Tom an me an the gal, an we had ’em all aboard the Seabird, with the lad an all safe. “ ‘Where for, now, sir?11 asks. But the oolonel was a-faintin, an Master Harry, was too weak speak* an that poor, brave gal-was a-nnssin ’em both, so I just takes tbe management to my- self an makes,Bail again for Margit; an leaves the poor, Sylph a-lyin there bot tom up, theunly craft as oould ever sail alongside the Seabird- ’ * * • * * • “ Did I do right in headin for Margit? Yes, sir; ’t least so it/appears. When I went round to the colonel’shouse next momin, there.was the old gent an Mas ter Egerton a-propped np in armchairs, an the yonng lady, all dressed in white, a-sittin between ’em. “ ‘Stomps,’ ses the colonel, ‘what do mpvL mean by ranmin off with my . “ ‘Beggin your pardin, sir,’ ! ses, ‘but if I runs off with her, virhat oan you wonder a t a nice young gent like that for doin the same?’ “ An they all langbs, so that they a l most forgot to ask me to the weddin. _______ “ ‘Stumps, ’ ses the colonel, T l f pay tr 'frrf^ ^ -1 for the.damage I did to the Smbird, an I’m go!h fo buyyod a new boat' be sides!’ “ ‘An I shall do the same, ’ said Mas ter Egerton. “ An I was so knocked back that I forgot to thrash the lad as split on us.

In early life young Liofc fell in love with the daughter of a well to do miller kfiowiTMs lore, whion was rooJprooat« by the girl, the miller was angry and is said to have replied: “ Out, you beggar! Dare you think of my daughter, who will inherit my riches? Have you a mill like this? Have you a single penny in your purse?’’ To this Lick replied “ that he had nothing as yet, bat one day he Would have a mill beside whioh this one wodld be a pigsty,” In 1854 the quiet, parsimonious James Lick surprised everybody by building a magnificent flour mill pear San Jose. The mill was finished; within in solid mahogany highly polished and was furnished with, toe best machinery possible. He made toe ferounds about tbe mill very attraoiive and began early to ast oat treea bothfor fruit m eat Lick aaased Bis elegan photographed without and sent the! pictures to the mil scorned him in his youth. Nineteen years after Mr. Liok built his mill, Jan. 16,1873, he surprised the . people of Sau Jose again by giving it to the Paine Memorial society of B 0 S 7 ton, half the proceeds of sale to be used for a memorial ball and half to sustain a lecture course. *n>m . c .

He tells no varuished story and the pa triotic narratives of casualties and life loss at seav aro those which are never written. Some years ago the captain of a British vessel descried in midocean a bark, dismasted and apparently aban- ' doned. He did as 99 per cent of British officers would have done under similar oircumstauces, lowered a boat and pro ceeded to investigate. Arrived at the bark, be found it difficult to approach on account of the tangle of broken spars and rigging Which drifted alongside. On the deck there Was-not the slight est sign of human occupancy. The boats bad gone, toe wheel was smashed, and the deokhouse carried away flush with the' deck.. In the forecastle, however, sick iu his bunk, was an English sailor, who told van almost incredible tale. Iu effect i t was- that a week previous all . bauds were summoned on deck to tako. in sail aud so prepare for an approach ing squall. The Sailor .was too sick for this Service, so kept h is' berth. And it was well he dig, fof o t all the company on.deck not a siuglo inan survived.

But he was very hospitable, and! was immediately provided With a ohair. . ; The juvenile yachtsman by whom I had been introduced wanted the captain to talk, as he'had not only a fund of i n teresting stories and an inimitable way of telling them, but he had a knowledge and command of the English language that wore remarkable. Finally, after a pauses oaused by the exertion of threading his needle, the captain waved his pipe in the direction of a square of paper fastened to the wall and said, “ Perhaps you’d be interested to read that, miss?” I took it down and read toe directions for a model of a fishing sohoqher, very particular directions being given that everything on deck should be perfect to the smallest detail.. TheoneOrtiole toat stands-out in my rntmnory is “gurry butts. ” Wiere Were a thousand otoer artioles mentioned, but .that alone re mains to rise Up and haunt. “Gurry butts!” , . But whenT arriyed fit toe signature I exclaimed, “ Why, i t ’s Budyard Kip ling?’ which was a very absurd remark forme to make, but I was excited. ‘ “Of course it is,” answered toe cap^ tain, as if I should have known it all along, “Of oourse it is. Those are the directions for a ship I was to have made for him so he oould have it by him and he could refer to. it when he was Writ ing his story, ’Captains Courageous.’ X had the rheumatism so bad I couldn’t. finish it,” he added. “ How did you come to know him? What did he look like? What did he say? How did he talk?” I asked. My questions didn’t feeze tbe ooptain in the slightest I found oat afteiWaid that he was married, “ Why, I was hece in toe shop, tend ing to some youog gentlemen about his siae,** he said, -wavlngMs pipo in'- too dlreetion of toe juvenile yachtonan, “When three gentleman oame down the walk a-laughing. Well, they oame and knocked at the door—they didn’t oum rightin; ml mi ynu ; thaylmonlred. and When I says, ‘Come in, gentlemen,’ cos of them—he wasn’t Mir.

I .never saw three jollier gen tlemen, all the time letting off jokes on each other and, now and. then one on JlL they came for, whibh. was about my making toe boat, ‘ just Bke ohe I’d bean ou myself ’ they said.' 'r\ “I said I would if I oould,. and 1 tried good and hard; ‘ but I had the rheumatism so bad I oouldn’t finish it.” “What d6 you —what do all the peo ple of Gloucester—-think o f ‘Osptains Courageous?’ ” I asked. X —c- “ Why, miss, ” said the captain, lean ing back-in his chair and waving his pipe eloquently, “ the very first chapter pf that story was taken And just dissect ed right here in Gloucester, and I will asy this much—that it’s fairly snrpris- ing how much ho doea know aboot the ‘Banka’ and the-life up there.”—Oor. itia Not that tie was imbned with a warlike spirit or muoh in love with oamp life, I doubt Whether he spent one single night of his life at a bivouao fire or took part in one single battle. But under Nicholas I that was o f a .quite secondary impor tance. The true military man of those times was the .oflioerWho was enamored iff the military uniform and utterly despised all other sorts of attire^ whose soldiers were triuned to perform aimost inhuman tricks with their legs and rifles (to break the wood of the rifle into pieces while “presenting arms” Was. one of those famous prinks), and who could show on a parade a row of soldiers as perfectly aligned and as mo tionless as a row of toy soldiers. “ V e ry good,” to e G r a n d D u k e M ik hael said once of a. regiment after hav ing kept it for one hour motionless, “ presenting arms,” “ only, they breathe!” To respond to the then current con ception of a mili tary man was certainly my father’s ideal.

Mr. Emerson thus de scribes one of his rides in the interior! of the island: A cool sea hreeze blew from the coast and stirred up the fragrance of the trop ical foliage covering the hills on either side of the road. Bright humming birds darted about, and from the woods came the incessant cooing of the mountain dove, the palutua, relieved occasionally by the song of warbling vireos. My heart sang with them as I rode, -and 1 felt altogether too well to worry about the. fate hanging over my friend at Ponce, nor did I bother to think of ply dwu uncertain destiny. All round ihe hirtella bushes were flowering crimson, and the stately sabino-tree, Mlh its im mense white flowers aud silvery leaves^ perfumed toe soft air. It seemed to me as if I had found the loveliest jspot on earth. A U S P I C I O U S C L O S E . i)ele(itM S«p*nt*d Amid Joyoas I* .
