A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE
MILLHEIM PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1., 18S7.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.
'Oil, Hue, papa says we are really going
to F.llrope next lll, >lilli ! Won't we have
I'll ll ! We'll gn lo flic 'Z'SI,' flint llio.se Eng
lish books tell so 111 lla-ll 111 toll!, alitl we'll
ellnib to the very ti|-fo| of the pyramids,
and we'll go shopping in Perls—Just think
of it—and we'll see the Queen,jterliaps. Oh,
isn't it too nice for anything and she end
ed in a little scream of delight.
'1 think I shall like the ocean Is st ; and
the whales, you know," replied her sister
contentedly. Slio was the youngest of the
family, and wan more of a quiet little house
body than the rest. '1 shall sit aud watch
the water, aud oh, Alice, just think of the
sunsets, without the least luitc of a house or
a hill between !'
'I know,' said Alice carelessly, as she
waltzed with herself around the room.
'There'll 1; clouds though,l suppose. Now
dear, don't moralize on that, and say that
the clouds are what makes the sunset
bright ! All 1 care for is that we're going,
we're going, and we are to sail on the Sa
maria just six week's from to-morrow !*
'Why, how nice ! Then we'll all be—'
'Good !' ami Alice's hiugb
rang out merrily.
'I don't know alMiut the 'good' part,' said
Sue, puckering up lu-r mouth in Iter funny,
stdeuin way. 'And 1 hope there won't In*
any thieves on board. Now, Alice, let's
plan.'
Here followed such a breathlessly excit
ing discussion of hats and dresses and wool
en st nils for the voyage, as only two girls of
sixteen and fourteen can carry on, when
fairly started. 1 taring the succeeding days
the library was rauisacked for books of
travel, and directions for the journey. Ou
the Sunday before tin* day of sidling, the
minister addisl tin* last straw by preaching
from the text. 'They that go down to the sea
in ships.'
'We shan't have to go down,' whispered
mischievous Alice ; 'papa says you have to
walk right iij>-hill from the wharf to get ou
board.'
Sue's face twitched a lit tie, lint she looked
toward the pulpit harder than ever. You
couldn't make Sue laugh in church, and
when near the end of a long seruion, sotue
of the older members dosed their eye* pla
cidly, or knitted their brow s absent iiiind
edly, and throughout the congregation there
was that subdued rustling of fans ami |silk
dresses, so annoying to a speaker, the min
ist-cr was always sure to Hud ouo pair of ser
ious blue eyes Hxed upon liiin, and one lit
tle pair of ears listening to every syllable of
the 'thirdly' and 'fourthly' he had jienned
so carefully in his study. You wouldn't
have caught Sue falling out of window
while I'aul was preaching.
Well, Sutmlay came at last, aud a sou
derful day it was. The splashing, muddy
ride from their home to the little country
station on the Eastern railroad, the last look
at the ml chimneys ami the roumhxl tops
of the maples ami elms, all quivering with
the fresh grown* epriim ami t!*<> rush of
sap through their vein, the stout conductor,
nodding pleasantly to the whole family, as
he swayed along through the aisle aud
paused to punch their four tickets.
'Guess you're lwmnd off this time, Mr.
Raymond ? Thought I sho'd have to put
another car on to curry your baggage.'
It was a curious feeling, this mingling
with the ordinary life of the other passen
gers, buying the morning pa)ier from the
newsboy, |eop)o who would ride over the
same road iu a few hours, while they— where
would they lie, when night fell ?
'lt seems just like holding your opera
glass up to one eye, and looking straight a
liead with the other,' Sue confided to licr
mother, nestling closer, and laying licr cur
ly head ii|Min licr shoulder.
Out of the cars, and into a hack, with an
express team full of trunks lundicring lic
liiud. Then the ferry, which was quite a
voy'age in itself,w itli the great milky waves
rolling after them as they splashed across
tiic liarlsir. In live minutes more they
were on the wharf, in the midst of bales,
Itoxes, teams, men running to and fro, hors
es hacking distractly, deck-hands rattling
along their noisy trucks, and, pervading
everything and everyliody, a strong odor of
tar.
'I told you so,' laughed Alice excitedly,as
they passed up the smooth gang-way plank
ami louml their way to the saloon. She
was in a high state of nervous delight,while
Sue, on the other hand, w as feeling sober at
the thought of leaving home. She had nev
er known how dear it was—even the old
tarry docks and* warehouses—until half an
hour later, the last hawser was thrown oil,
and the ship, with a tremor from stern to
stern, began that thud, thud, of the propell
er-wheel which was not to cease until they
should signal for a Haider, oft' Quoenstowu
Harbor. They all stood U|KII the upper
deck, waving tlieir hankerchiefs to those on
the wliarf, as long as they could sec tlieni.
By this time the steamer had reached the
middle of the stream, and, heading for the
O|KMI ocean, was soon past the Outer Light,
with her journey fairly before her. Then
Sue felt the surge of homesickness come o
vor her, until it seemed as if she must tiing
herself overboard, rather than lie borne olf
in tills great, remorseless ship. And that
little patch of blue water was to widen, wi
den, until it should stretch away, full three
thousand miles between lier aud home. A
latge drop trickled down lier clunk and fell
UJMIII her baud,which was helplessly clutch
ing the brass rail encircling the huricane
deck. As she turned away, her eyes blurr
ed so that the great ml funnel seemed as
wavy as the volumes of black smoke that
l>ouml steadily out of it.
Sue knew what was the wisest thing to
do in such a case, and she dhl it. She look
ed about to see whether she could help ootn
lort anybody else. Presently she found an
old lady, who was trying to adjust herself
with a heavy rug, in one of those long
steamer chairs that are so hard to get into
when they are straightened out. Sue hclj
od lier, and then tucked the rug almut licr
feet so nicely that, the old lady thanked lier,
and asked her if she felt badly at leaving
home. This opened Sue's heart at once,and
they were soon the ls-st of friends.
Before long, as she sat on a camp stool,
talking to her new acquaintance, and to licr
mother, who had also been comfortably
wrapped and tucked in by licr little daugh
ter, she began to have a queer feeling iu the
top of her head. Looking up, she noticed
with some interest that the upper bar of the
railing now and then dipped below the ho
rizon line ; that sometimes it went quite a
distance above it ; that she was leaning
slightly, first one way then the other, to
keep her balance, as the ship swung ou the
long, easy swell of the ocean ; that people
did not talk so much as at first ; that It. was
very unpleasant to have the deck-steward
urge her to "avo some lunch.' In short,
our jm.ir little sailor soon dlsippeaml dowu
l lie companion-way, and it seemed ages !•-
fore slip eltmlssl tliose stairs again. Such
misery as filled the next two days she had
never known. O, how she loiiyisl for five
minutes on shore.
'How near are we to laud ?' she had once
asked in utter despair ; and the choery ste
wardess replied : 'Only a mile and a 'alf,
inuiu ; its just under us !'
Among Rue's troubles were two life-pre
servers. which were •iisjs'iiihsl from the
ceiling of the stateroom, and tilh-d slightly
with every motion of the ship. They were
iu the shape of rings, to be fastened around
the Ixsly, and, in the midst of her sick fan
cies, she could not got tlm idea out of her
head that they were immense doughnuts,
painted white, which she must eat at once.
Father and mother recovered first, then
Alice, and last of all, Sue. Then how sweet
the air, how beautiful the long, foamy
sweep of the waves, the rosy clouds, the
passing ships that now and then fluttered,
like white moths ii|s)U the horizon. Kite
used to get up very early in the morning
and the bluff, kind-hearted officer would in
vite lier up with him on his high bridge,
wliere she could si>e the whole ship spread
out like a map, and could look off over tiie
gray water and gray sky, until the east
grew all aflame, and slow ly, grandly, the
full, bright sun arose.
'lsn't it. like the King of glory shall come
iu ?'' she had once said timidly to the red
bearded first-mate.
'Yes, Miss,' he had answered iu his short,
hearty way, 'and he comes every day, :ui
soon as ever the gates are up.'
So the hours went by quietly, peacefully,
and the faithful engine never ceased to
throb, night or day. Sue watched whales
ami sunsets to her heart's content. Alice
s|Miut much of her time iu walking up aud
down the deck with the captain, and learn
ing to play shut He-board and ring-toss.
Father aud mother read and t''ked, aud
dozed iu the warm sunshine.
One of Sue's favorite occupations was to
go as far forward as possible, on the up|ier
dock, and watch the steerage passengers, of
whom there were two or throe hundred on
hoard. She pitied them liecause they look
ed so jioor aud miserable. Some of them
second to he returning to their old homes,
discouraged and hopeless. Some laughed
and talked noisily, hut most of them curled
up, wherever they could, on stanchions or
heaps of rojie, and lay there, many of them
wretchedly sick, through out the day. They
generally at*', drank and washed in full
sight. The worst tiling was that they were
treated as if they were cattle. They were or
dcrtd roughly hack and forth by the offi
cers, aud at a certain point a rope was
drawn across the deck, to prevent them
from intruding UJKIU the cabin-passengers.
They nearly all had a weary, hopeless,hunt
ed look, which went to Sue's heart. Still,
she could do nothing for tlieiu. The rules
OfYfie ship <mi vnrj- xtriet. : she had car
ried out some grajH-s, after diuner one day,
to a delicate-looking young girl, who had
crept up on deck for the tirst time that
morning, aud for this little kindness Sue
had Uvu sharply rebuked by the head stew
ard. 'She mustn't interfere with the steer
age,' he had said ; 'the Cunard company
would look out for tlieni.' So she could do
nothing lint watch them wistfully, and long
to help them.
They were six days out from Boston.
The ship had encountered head winds, and
would not reach Quoenstowu for several
days, the officers said. When Sue came on
d<vk tkat morning, slic thought she noticed
a commotion among the steerage passengers.
They gathered in groups, talking earnestly,
and glancing now and then tow aril the
hatchway that led to their quarters lielou-.
Tin- sailors socmod with one accord to avoid
them as far as ]>ossible. Tiie jovial first
mate was quite silent, and walked the deck
with a quick, nervous step, now casting a
glance at the huge mailt sail, which had been
set during the night, now pausing a mo
ment to regard the ragged crowd on the
deck IM-IOW. Never during the voyage had
there been so many of thein in sight at one
time. The ship fairly swarmed with them.
Already the cabin passengers were eagerly
inquiring w hat was the matter, hut could
laarn nothing. During the whole forenoon
the taciturnity and mysterious air of the of
ficers increased, until several men of influ
ence from the cabin, among them Mr. Ray
mond, waited upon the captain as a com
mittee, to ascertain once for all the cause
and nature of the disturbance that was ma
king itself felt throughout the ship.
They found him in liis little deck state
room, talking in low, earnest tones with the
ship's surgeon, and made known their er
rand. 'lf you don't give some explanation,
captain,' thev said, 'there will le a regular
panic on lioanl. The ladies are afraid there
is a tire in the hold, or that the ship has
sprung a leak. Let us know at once what
is the matter, and we will either keep si
lence altogether, or make such a report as
shall satisfy everybody that it is nothing
serious.'
'Gentlemen,' replied the captain calmly,
after a moment's silence, 'you are disturb
ing yourselves unreasonably. I have hard
ly thought it necessary to explain to pass
engers all the proceedings on board my
ship, hut 1 am willing to tell you the tritle
that has caused this alarm. An infant died
ill the steerage last night, of some childish
disorder, and was—buried. 1 believe an
other one is sick now. The doctor was just
informing me that he thought it best, as a
mere matter of precaution, to fumigate the
quarters. That is all.'
'And where is the sick child ?'
'I left it in the steerage,' answered the
doctor, 'until 1 could have the hospital
made ready. I shall remove it myself,soon,
before disinfecting the place.'
The passengers withdrew, not more than
half satisfied, and Mr. Raymond went to
tell Ids wife what ho had heard. Ho found
lier iu her state-room, busily talking with
the stewardess, who had already told the
news under a strict pledge of secrecy, 'or it
will cost me my place, mem. And tlio poor
little creature, she that's sick now—it's
measles like, I think—is left there aloue in
that hole ofa place and only three years old
and half frightened to death, no doubt.'
'But lier mother is with her ?' asked Mrs.
Raymond.
'lndeed she's not, mem. She's just in
the charge of strangers, who are taking her
' over to the h'old folks iu Ireland, ye know.
' And not a soul will stay with the poor lit
' tie thing, they're so frightened with the
! sickness, ye know. The doctor, he tried to
Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance.
'ire tAVinr tlr*', lutttliey won't do it. lie
' nayh In*' 11 have to Im* iihtm* for the child
himself, after the minikini;'* over.'
•Henry" an hi Mrs. Raymond to her Ims
| hand, 'don't you think yoil hail lielter
| speak to Nile and AHee, ami ask tliem not
Jto go forward ? You needn't tell them
j what is the matter, you know. They've
; lieeti oil deck sinee tliis morning.'
'You are right, dear, and I'll *oe If any-
I thing t*an he done for the child. If uioiicy
can hire a nurse I'll find one.'
NY it limit fnrt her words he left the utatc
ruom and took lilh way to the deck. He
mm it i found Alice, deep in one of Nlr. Whit
ney's biMtks, behind tiie wiieel-iioitse.
'Allie, dear, 1 wouldn't go forward of the
smoke-stack to-day. They're cleaning the
steerage quarters, and (lie air is very un
ple.is int.'
'Very well, jrip.,' without looking froiu
her lnhik.
'Proiuiae me, dear.'
'Why of course 1 wou't, if you don't wish
mo hi, sir !' saiil Alice surprised at her fath
er's earnestness, and turning to see the rea
son. But ire was gone, and she dropped
back into her liook. Presently he returned
witii a trotthleil face.
'Alice, have you seen Kite, lately ?'
'No, papa, not since 1 catue on deck.
Why r
'I wish very much to speak to her. Please
try to find her.'
Alice turned down a leaf and rose reluc
tantly. At that moment the quartermaster,
who was in charge of the dick, touched ids
hat and said : 'J soe'd you little girl on the
lower deck, sir, about two hours ago, goin'
forrard.'
The troubled look ou Mr. Raymond's face
deepened. He turuod away at once. Meet
ing tire young doctor as he did so, he s|ioke
a few words to him iu a low tone, upon
which the two went immediately down the
companion-way, and walked with quick
steps toward the Ikiw of the ship. They of
ten had to pause, and pick tbeir way a
round the groups of steerage passengers
who lay about the deck iu every conceiva
ble position. Some of them stared at the
well-dressed gentleman with the troubled
face, and some of the liegau a question to
the doctor ; hut the two kept ou without a
word. Past the kitchen, with its steamy,
vegetable odors, jcist the engine room, and
its tiever-rcstirig,]iolished steel bars vibrat
ing up and down, hack and forth. At each
of these places the doctor :utkod a single
questiop of the men iu charge and then
went on. Not a nook nor corner, not a rag
god, woeful-faced group of women and chil
dren escaped the anxious, searching glance
of the father's eye. The walk was repeated on
the other side of the ship,but without result.
As they passed one door a sickening, sul
phury odor crept out, auil a few curls of
smoke.
They're preparing for the fumigation,'
explained the doctor, keenly watching his
companion's face. 'I thought we'd best do
it, to satisfy the authorities.'
Then they went straight to the head of
the stairs that led to the dark, ill-veutilat
ed steerage. There the doctor paused and
. liecLml Sir. I.'n> iiihiml uilitiii* luuxl.
*1 wouldn't go down there,' he said, light
ly, with his rising Kuglish accent ; 'it's
rather a disagreeable place, you know.'
Suddenly his face changed. 'Hark !' he
said. And Mr. Itayuioud listened.
Faintly, sweetly came a girlish voice up
out of the darkness. Someone wassingiug.
Ah, if the roar of the wind and the dull
breaking of waters against the bows would
hut stop for one littie moment! llark—
they could hear the words now:
"Jesus, lover of my soul"
The doctor glanced again at Mr. Raymond's
face. It was blanched white as the foam on
the wave-tops tlint could be seen over the
bulwaiks as the ship rolled.
'Doctor,' he said, 'let me pass. That is
my little girl singing.'
•Oh, never mind,' said the doctor, still
holding his arm across the companionway ;
'l'll go down and get her up.'
'Doctor, why won't you let me—you
said—'
The surgeon glanced over his shoulder
and saw that they were alone. Then he
looked the other full in the eye, and said
slowly:
'Because it—is—small-pox.'
Then for God's sake let me go by! Stand
aside, I say, or I'll knock you down and
pass over you!' For the tall, wiry young
doctor had placed himself liefore him, and
was directly blocking the way.
-You will do no such thing, sir. You
are not strong enough to master me, and
if you try, I will have you put in irons.
1 will go down aud bring your daughter up.
She shall occupy my stateroom for the rest
of the voyage. If her mother chooses to
share it with her, and keep away from you
until we laud, she may do so. You cannot
see her, and afterward go back among the
passengers.'
"While the billows near uic roll."
Again the childish tones, with a little
tired tremble in tliem, rose above the sound
of the waters. Mr. Raymond covered his
face with his hands a moment, then turned
away.
'Her mother will come," he said.
The doctor quickly descended the stairs.
The steerage was divided by rough parti
tions into small compartments, arouud the
sides in the o|>cii space in the cntre,where
were the dining-tables made of pine boards,
once clean and fresh, but now stained to
a dingy brown. In each compartment
were six berths, three on a side, ouo over
the otli e r. These berths were tilled with
various untidy heaps of hod-clothing, as
their occupants had liurridly left them in
the nioruiiig, and the air of the whole place
was foul and stilling. Iu the farthest cor
ner, on the edge of oe of the wide berths,
sat Sue, herpp e tty brown steamer-hood
thrown back oh her shoulders, holding the
sick child iu her lap, bendiug over it, and
rocking it to and fro as she sung.
'I am glad you've come, doctor' she said
simply. 'I was getting tired. Have you
found anybody to take care of this little
girl ? Because if you haven't, I am going
to stay with her to-night.'
'Do you know what is the matter with
her ?'
'Yes, sir ; one of the steerage passengers
told me. There, there, baby*—and the little
woman begau again to sing to the child, who
was turning restlessly in her arms.
I will not say what made the doctor's
eyes shine so, just then. I never saw a
doctor cry,although I suppose they do some
times, like other people. At any rate he
turned his head away sharply for a half
! minute ; then he told Sue he would see if
the 'hospital' was all ready, and would be
back presently. In three minutes, he
thought.

Those minutes seemed very long to Sue.
Her firms ached, aad her throat wn* tired
with singing and talking. And the sick
child living dressed in clothes by no means
clean or dainty at th liegilining of the voy
gn, and still less now, was not so pleasant
(4i hold as Ibo babies Hue had loved to tend
it. hi tine.
•But he funk tbcni ill ids arms,' she
thought Wearily;'and Palestine babies were
no nicer thau steerage babies, I guess.'
Then i'MWt thoughts of what might happen
next. Would she, too, lie sick of that terri
ble disease ? Would it lie for a long time ?
Would she—die ?
'There was no more sea,' she went on to
herself, as the ship lurched heavily before
the freshening breeze. That's good to think
of. Only there wout lie any sunsets. Ob,
if He would only come walking on the
water, and make those great waves stop,
uid—and—put out His hand, and—cure —'
Sue felt a great lump In her throat. She
beard the doctor's step on the stairs. Her
bead reeled w ith the long confinement and
(he foul air breathed. She laid t|*e baby
gently on the bed,aud—the next face she saw
was her mother's.
She was in a funny littie stateroom which
hail liesige the furnishings of |hr o*n room
a cosy shelf of books, a comfortable easy
chair, aud several small but brilliant print*
on the wall. The red sunset light just struck
through the window and rested warmly on
the pretty white coverlet.
Sue felt too weak and tired to talk, that
is, by words. But dear me, deaf and dumb
Ihi .ph- are not the ouly ones who w^t ' l
their fingers. Sue gave a little squeeae to
her mother's hand, and I suppose it would
take something like half a page for me to
write out what she said by it. And her moth
er answered ger another half page In tfce same
way. Only she did more She said,
'The baby is better, Sue. She is comforta
bly put to bed In the Utile ship's hospital,
and papa has found a good natured Scotch
girl to tage care of her. The doctor says my
little daughter's nursing, this forenoon,
saved her life.'
I would like to tell you about the last four
days of that voyage. How the caMn-pnn
sengers passed a vote of thank* to 'Miss Sne
Raymond, for her heroism and devotion,'
and sent them by the doctor. How the steer
age passeugers.who did not know how to ex
press themselves in such fine language,were
not content with one message but waylaid the
doctor every time he allowed hi* face among
thcin, aud sent their humble thank* and
blessings to the little voluntary prisoner :
how, last of all, a foremost-hand among th*
sailors rolled clumsily up to Mr. Raymond
one morning, and placed in hi* hand a neat
oil-painting of the 'Samaria,'upon which he
had spent all his spare time,and not a few
shillings and pence, during the last few
months, with the hope of selling it by shares
to the rich folks, on some voyage when there
was a crowd aboard.
•Please give it to the young Miss, sir,' be
saitl, 'and tell her as how, if there's any
thing that'll make the boys decent when
they're ou shore,it be thinking of her.'
Best of all the baby did improve rapidly,
and the doctor finally announced th*"M the
disease although at first threatening had tail •
en oneof its many milder fihrms and the dan
ger was over.
•Yes, Bue Iad It' but very lightly, and her
mother not at all. It only kept them in quiet
rooms on the outskirts of Liverpool, for a
weex or ten days more than they had in
tended. They then weut on and had their
good time.
Decline of Counterfeiting.
An industry which was formerly of
great importance, but whieh has
dwindled into insignificance, is the
manufacture of counterfeit money. It
bad many able exponen t, but like
more exalted occupations, it has suf
fered frotn.the want of a proper system
of apprenticeship* The great masters
of a generation ago have disappeared,
either through death or other enforced
retirement, and no one has been
trained to take their places. The chief
cause of this, in the opinion of a
national bank officer who was discuss
ing the question recently, is the in
creased vigilance and activity of the
government.
'The task of the government, how
ever, has been very much easier,' said
he, 'by reason of the tact that since
the war there have been no state
banks to issue currency. Under the
old system there were so many styles
of bills it was almost impossible to
keep track of tbem all, so as to distin.
guisb the counterfeit from the genuine.
The difficulty was all the greater be
cause the bank bills were ot so low a
grade of workmanship that it was
very easy to counterfeit them. Con
sequently counterfeiting was a regular
business. During the war, when the
government bad its hands full of other
matters, the business flourished. For
some time after the war, also,counter
feiting was very common.'
'What else has hart the business V
'Well the processes of manufactur
ing both specie and bills are constant
ly becoming more delicate and costly.
To turn out an absoluely perfect bill
or coin now requires very expensive
and bulky machinery. No counter
feiter has the money to buy such ma
chinery and no place to put it up in
if he had it. Consequently his goods
are inferior and easily detected. In
former times a skillful workman conld
turn out 'queer' money. Processes of
manufacture were simple. Then it
was impossible to crash the business
even with liberal use of death penalty
Now a counterfeit note or coin is sel
dom seen in a bank. Qenteel crooks
have turned from counterfeiting to the
'sawdust' game. It is safer and more
profitable.—[New York Commercial
