MAEBYING A CONVICT.
1 had served twenty years 011 board
nn lint Intlhiintiii, mid for tho last ten
ycfirn litul tdiiiinaiiilcd the Hello, one ol
tlio flnei-t vivsek ever Honied. I was nn
old sen captain nnd had dwelt mi Ioiilmiii
salt water that I had almost it liatred for
tho land.
On thoaitlt of Octolicr, 18:11, I receiv
ed oidor.s lo put my.self in reatllness to
fa for Cayenne. I was to transport
soventy-llvu soldiers and itionvlct. I
had oideis to treat tills individual well,
and tho letter 1 received from the Di
leetory Inclosed another with a hii(?e
red seal, which I was not to open until
nutween unu '26 tlic'recs west loiicl.
tilde; that Is, Just ueforowo weronbuut
lo cross the line.
Tho letter wnsu lontr packet, so well
closed on every side that it was impo.s-
bllilu to catch tiiosll(,'hlest (,'llmpso of
Its contents. 1 am not naturally rtiper-
MltloiH, hut thero was sometiiliif; in
tho look of thu letter that ldld nolalo
Bcther like, though I could give 110 reas
on why. However. 1 carried It into
tho cabin, and stuck it under tho glnr-s
of 11 little shabby old KnglL-h clock
which was fastened above my head.
I was busy fixing tho letter under thu
clock when who should como into thu
cabin but tho convict and hlswlfu!
This was tlie llrst time I had seen eith
er of them, and 1 may say Hint a more
prepossessing couple 1 never met.
Tho woman was scarcely more than fif
teen, nnd as li.iniUonio as it picture-;
while thu husband was an intelligent,
magnificently formed man, on whoo
features tiature.had never written vil
lain. His crime, to bo plain, was tlio mis
fortuuo of being n hundred years ahead
of bis age. llu and others had attempt
ed something which our government
called treason, nml which it punished
witli (lentil. It therefore, occasicned
mu considerable wonder that ho should
bo pluced under my charge but more
of tills afterwards.
Iluhad.as I said, hlswlfu hanging
on his arin. She was as merry as a bird;
(the looked liken turtledove cooing and
nestling between his great wings.
Before a month had passed over our
heads, I looked upon them us my own
children. Kvcry morning I used to
call Ilium into my cabin. Tho young
fellow would sit, writing at my tabic,
that is to say my chest, which was my
bed. Ho would iiftcn-help mu ut reck
oning, nnd soon learned to doit better
than I could. 1 was amazed nt his
ability. His young wifj would sit up
on 0110 of tlio round stools in my cabin
working nt her needle.
Onuday wu weroall thrco sitting in
this way when I said s
" Do you know'my young ones, as It
seems (o me, wt'liiako a pretty family
picture'.' JIluil I don't mean lo ask
ilucstion.s, hut maybe you have not
much money to spare, and you are,
Ixith of you us I think, too hand-ome
to dlo in tlio burning sun of ceyenne,
llku many a poor wretch before you.
It's u had country a bad country, take
my word for it. J, who have roughed
it through tempest, wind und sunshine,
till I've got t'no skin of it rhinoceros,
might gut along thero; but you I am
afraid of you. So, If you should liavu 11
chanco of foolish friendship for your
poor old captain, I'll tell you what
I'll do. I'll get rid of this old brig;
ehu's not much better .Unit an old tub
after nil j so I'll settle myselfdowu with
you, if yon like. You seo that I have
not a living soul now, to euro for, or
that cares for mo. I want relations, I
want 11 home, I want a family. I should
llku tu make my homo with you, my
young ones; What say yo'.'
They said nothing nt all, but sat
looking, first at oack other, then at me,
as If they doubted whether they un
derstood what I said.
At Ittol tlio Httlu blid threw her anus
around my neck and cried llkoit baby.
" Hut," said she, suddenly pausing,
"you havn't looked ut tho Jotter with
the big red senl,"
"IInngltI''l(ixt'lalmed,"lt had slip
ed my mind entirely.,
With a cold dreadful sensation 1 went
to my cheat to sou where wo were. I'
found that wo had several days remain
ing boforu wo should reach tho pioper
Jongltudulbr opening tlio letter,
Well thoro wo stood all thrco of in,
looking up nt thu letter us If It couhj
luivu spoken to ua. As It happened
tlio sun was shining full upon thu faco
of tho clock caso,' and' fell upon tho
great staring red eftil of tho letter. I
could nol help fancying lt,looked souio
tlilng llko 11 monster, nil ogro's f.ice
grinning from tho jinlddlo of tlio llru;
It looked horrid, I'Could not unu fan
cy," snld I to iiuulo them laugh, 'It's
great big eyes weiq starting out of Its
heart V
" Ah, my lovo," eulrt tlio wife, "It
looks llko Wood."
" Pooh, pooli 1" said her liusbnnrt, ta
king her urni under his, "It .looks llko
a letter of Invitation ton wedding.
Come, conic, leave the. letter nidne If It
troubles you so. Let's go to our room
nml prepare for bed."
And oil' tllcy went, They went upon
deck, and left that beast of n letter.
I rememer I kept looking nt It ns I
smoked my pipe j It seemed to tlx Its
great red eyo upon mine, fascinating
llko the eyo of 11 serpent. It wns red,
wide, raw, staring llku tlio maw of n
flcrcu wolf. I took my great coat nnd
hung it over both clock and letter,
and went upon tlio deck to tlnlsli my
pipe.
AVu were now In the vicinity of llio
CapuduVcrdo Islands; tlio Hello was
running hcfore.n fair wlmlhit Iho rate of
ten miles nn hour. It was a splendid
tropical night thu stars largo nnd
"hilling, thu moon rising above thu hor
izon, ns largo as a sun of silver, tho line
of ocean parting It, nnd long streams of
bare, shimmering light falling upon
tho wn ves, which ns they broke sparkled
like Jewels. I sat upon tlio deck, smo
king my pipe and looking nt them.
All was still except the footfall of tho
ofllccr of thu watch, and as lie paced the
deck, gazing, ns I did, upon the shad
ow of the vesel,teall!ig over the silent
waters.
I lovo silence nud order I hate noise
and coiifti Ion. Thu lights should all
have been extinguished boforu this
time; but when I looked upon thu
deck I thought I saw a Httlu red line
beneath my feet. At Just another time
this would hnvo made mu angry; but
knowing that tho light came from the
cabin of my tlepttrten, I determined tosee
what they were about.
I Iiart only to look down I could see
Into thu cabin from tlio skylight.
I ho young girl was upon lier knees,
and was saying her prayers. A lamp
swinging front tlie celling llglited her
room. She hart on a long whltu night
dre.-s, and her fair golden hair floated
over bershoiilders, nml almost touched
two llttio lurii feet, which were peep
ing from uinler her white dress, so
pretty. I turned away; hut, pshaw!
said 1, I tun nn old sailor! What mat
ters if.' so I started.
The husband was sitting upon u lit
tle trunk, his heart resting upon ids
hands', looking nt hor asshu prayed.
She raised her eyes to heaven, and then
Isawliereyes were lllled with tears.
She looked like a Jlngilakr.e. As she
aroe, ho said :
" All, my sweet Laurette, as we ap
proach America I cannot belli feeling
anxious I do not know why but 1
feci that tills voyage lias been the hap
piest part of our lives."
" So it seems to me," sbeanswerud.
"I only wish that It might In.-t forever."
Sutlrteiily clasping his hands In a
traiiepoit of love and ntlVction, he
said :
" And yet my littlu angel, I see you
cry In your prayers, and that I cannot
stand, for I know what cau-es It, and
then I fear you must repent what you
liavo done."
' Hepent V" sliesnlil, In u sail, rebu
king tone. "Hepent of having conic
with you'.' Do you think becausu I
have, been yours only a short timu Unit
I should not lovo you V Was not I your
wlfu? How can you ho sorry that 1
should be witli you, to live with you if
you live, and to die with you If you tiro
to die."
Tlio young man began lo sigh, strik
ing tho tloor Impatiently with hlafcct,
while lie kissed repeatedly tho llttio
hand and arm which she was holding
out.
"All, Laurettu! Lauretto! When J
think if our niarrlrge had only been
delayed five days only live days Unit
then I should have been arrested and
transported alone, I cannot forgive
myself."
At this thu little one stretched out
lier round, white arms, rla-pcd his
head, pressed bis forehead, bis hair, his
eyes, smiling like a cherub, and mur
iimrlngnll sorts of woman's fond tilings.
I was ipilte affected, and con-ldered It
one of tlio prettiest scenes Iliad ever
wllnes-cd.
" Aurtbisldeswenreso very rich too,"
said sh bursting out laughing, "Look
at my purse, one gold louUd'orl all
my worldly wealth."
He begun to laugh at liertoo.
"Ye-, dear, J liavespeut my la-t half
crown. I gave it to tlie fellow who
carried out trunk" uu board."
" Ah, poor," cried .-lie,"wliat matters
It'.' Nobody so merry as tho-e wlio
liavu nothing at all: besides, 1 have
my two diamond rings that my moth
er gave me ; they nro good for some
thing all thu world over; wo can sell
them when you like: and, besides 1 am
Hiiro that thu Captain meant kindly by
us, mid I suspect ho knows very well
what is In tlio letter."
"It's a recommendation to tlio Ciov
ernor of Cnyunue."
" l'ci'Iiapsso; who knows'."'
To liusurolt Is, continued thu charm
ing little wife. You nro so good I am
siiro thotiovernniunt lias luulshed you
only font. short tlmo 1 know they havo
no feelings against you."
It was high llliiu tlio light slioulrt bo
stricken out, anil now I rapport on the
deck and called 011 them to do so.
They Instantly obeyed, and I heated
them laughing and chattering llko two
Innocent school fellows,
Onu morning when I nwoko I was
surprised not to feel tho slightest mo-
Hon of thu vessel. Hurry lug 011 deck
1 found that wo wuru becalmed -7 and
degrees west.
1 waited until night when I ilescenrt
ed to my cabin and opened tho letter
witli artull, awful feeling. I liclrt my
breath whltu I broke tho big rod seal
mill mul ;
"Captulii Foiitalulileau; tho convict
Ailtoluo Jlluilsulear slnuils convicted
of high treason ngnjlist tlio Hepubllc
Tho Directory onler Unit ho bu bhot In

I read thu loiter backwards uitid for
wards, 1 went on thu deck, Thero
tliuy were, slio looking upon thooceiin
and hu gazing upon lier with an u.v
presslon of unutternlilu fondness.
Catching Ids' eye, 1 signed for him to
como Into tho cabin, and bidding her
good-by, lio enmo down, his faco nil
smiles.
I was bathed In ncold sweat ; I felt ns
Ifdenilly sick; I banded him tho letter,
mid he read it, together with tho death,
warrant, which was drawn up lu due
form, nnd attached. I gathered voice
as lio finished.
Ho colored slightly nnd bowed.
" I ask nothing, Captain," hu said, In
thu same genllu voice that always char
ncte.Izert Ids speech; "no man can bo
expected to swerve from lils duty. 1
only wish to speak 11 few words to
I.aurette, nnd to entreat you to take
euro of lier, if 'sho should survive. 1
hardly think sho will."
"All Hint Is fair, my good fellow," I
paid. "If you request It I will carry
her back to Franco to lier family." I
will nover lenvu lier until shu wishes to
be rid of me, but I do not think slie will
survive it."
Ho took my baud and pressed It.
"Most kind Captain, I see you stiirer
more In this business than 1 tlo, but
there Is no help for It. 1 trust you will
preserve what llttio property of mlnu
is left, for lier sake, nnd 1 trust you
will take care she gets what her poor
oltl mother mny leavo her. I put lier
life her honor In your hands. Sho is,"
(and how fondly low Ids volco became)
1 dellcatu little creature, lier chest is
often all'ected ; shu must keep It warm;
ami if she could keep tho two diamond
rings lier mother gave lier, I should bu
gltul ; but of course, If money Is neeilert,
they must go. My poor I.aurette, how
pretty she looks."
It was getting too much for me. I
began to knit my brows.
'One word Is as good as n thousand,"
I said, "Wu understand each other,
(lo It) lier."
1 squeezed his hand ; ho looked wist
fully at me, and I added : stay 11 mo
ment, let 1110 give you advice. Don't
say u word to her; bo easy ; that Is my
business, It shall hu managed, in thu
best manner.
'()hr"sald he "I illrt not unrtorstanrt
you, much better. Hcslilcs, this leave
taking! this leave taking!
"Yes," said 1, don't bcliavu like n
chlltl ; much better. No leavu taking,
if you can help it or you aro lost."
1 kept my seat. 1 saw them walking
inn In arm upon the deck for about
hal fund hour. I called tlio mate to me,
and when ho had read the letter, I
said :
" (iaiiey, this Is bad business bad
business. 1 put it in your bands. I
obey tlio order.-, but remain in thecabln
until it is over."
" How do you wish the tiling done'."'
he tiskert, Inn nonchalant manner.
" Take liim out in 11 boat out of sight
do it as quickly us possible; don't say
anything of tills till tlie time comes."
Hurley sat live minutes looking at
me without saying a word. Hu was ti
strange fellow. 1 didn't know what to
make of him. He then went out of tho
cabin without saying a word.
Night came at la.-t. 'Man a boat;
go a quarter ofa mile; be quick.'
To obey n slip of paper after all. Some
thing in thu very air must lmvu urged
mu 011. I saw thu young man kneel
down before his Laurette; kiss her feet 1
her gown ! 1 cried out liken madman :
'Part them ! part them this instant!
ran tnem cuiso tlm Kopuiillc curse
thu Directory tliu Directors! 1 quit

tell them if you will!'
Shu was dragged Into her berth and
thu boat rowed in thu darkness.

over Iho sea to tho vessel. It was all
over.
Fool, Mailman ; howl paced tliodeck
and cursed and cursed myself. All
night long I paced back and forth ami
all night long 1 heard the moaning of
tlio poor stricken bird.
Often 1 Jialted, and was tempted to
tiirow myself into the sea, und so end
this horrid torturo of brain and heart.
Days passed, I saw nothing of Lau
rette, I would not see her. She avoid
ed me, and I was glad of It. I could
not hear tlie sight of Unit woe-stricken
face.
Thu male (iarley, how I hated blni ;
HO was cool and unconcerned as though
ho bad 110 rcuicuihcrnni'c of shooting
Iho poor wretch.
At Cayenne I lesfgned my ship, do
ing to tlie city I madeall arrangements,
and took tho steamer for New Yoik. I
plated ample funds in tho hands of a
very trusty friend, and told him to
send Laurette to 1110 at thu end of six
months. I could not see her until her
grief had left Itsidge.
Weary, sick and careless of my life, 1
wandered oil' to York Stale, and finally
bought a little place wliero I hoped 1
should lay down nud die.
I sent for I.aurette. I "our bird, I
must seo her. 1 could wait no longer.
One summer night I sat in llio porch
of my house, smoking my pipe, and
gazed down tboroad. Soon tho rumble
of wheels was hoarrttindthostagohaltert.
Thu next moment a pair of soft arms
were round my neyk, nnd the head of

'Heavens! who Is that behind youV
There stood the lino form of Antoinu

'Thank (iod! UiaukOod!' was all I
could ejaculate.

A BIO SCARE.
Mauk Twain tells tho following sto
ry byjn fellow imsenger, who, bantered
about Ids timidity, snld lio liud never
been scared slnco ho had loaded an old
wueeii Amie s musKci lor 111s lamer
once, whereupon ho related the follow
iiiR 1
" You seo the old man was trying to
learn 1110 to shoot blackbirds and beasts
Hint tore up the young corn, und such
things, so that I could bu of some use
nbout tho farm, becnusu I wns not big
enough to do much. My gun wns a llt
tio single-barrel shot-gun, anil tho old
man carried an old Queen Anne's mus
ket that weighed 11 ton, ami made a re
port llko a thunder-clap, and kicked 1
llko a mule. Thu old man wanted mu j
to shoot the old musket sometimes, but
I wns afraid. Ono day, though, I got
her down, und so 1 took lier to the hired
man und asked him how to loud her,
bccatiso thu old man was out in tho
fields. Hiram said: ',' Do you see them
marks on tho stock nn X anil 11 V?
Well, Unit means 111 balls and fi slugs
that's her load."
" Hut how much powder'.'"
"Oli, lie says," "it don't matter; put
in four hnnilsfull."
So I loaded lier up that way, and it
was an awful cbnrgo-I had sense enough
to tee that nnd started out. I leveled
lier on n good many birds, but every
tlmo I went lo pull tho trigger I shut
my eyes and winked. I was ufrnirt of
her kick. Towards sundown I fetched
up ut thu house, and thero was tlio old
man resting on the porch.
" Ilcen out hunting, have ye?"
" Yes, sir," says 1.
" What dirt you kill?"
"Didn't kill anything, slr-rtlrtn't
shoot lier olf I was afraid she'd kick."
(I knew very well sho would.)
"(Jlmmiis that gun!" tho old man
says mail as sin. "Do you seo that sup
pling'."'
I saw it nnd began to drop back out
of danger. And tlie next minute I heard
nn earthquake, nnd tlm (Jueen Anno
whirling end over end In the air, and
tlio old man spl.nnlng around on ono
heel, with ono leg up, und both bauds
on liisjaw.and tlio bark flying from Unit
