JENS, THE KAYAKEB'
Of nil tlio kaynkcra of tho Wcsterii
const there wns nono buttor than Junti,
of Nnpnisok. And when ho caino 16
in gicat sottlcmcnt ol Snkkci lopou no
ns ovcrywliero welcomed, because
even tho children told how ho had
none through tho hard vVcst wind and
Pi. i!r. 1 1 .l.-l!r

Aptiluse, licet of all providers lu our
place.
llo was tall and Hlronir, and did not
walk bo stupid as many of tho kay.v
kers who thought much of thenisolvctt.
All day ho would html for seals and
oven lor tho nepokak whale. Never
had child or woman without a provid
er gono from his house unfed. Only
ho would sometimes send men away,
hecauso this, ho said, would teach them
to hunt.
Jens had always cofTeo and tobacco
and, it wns milto believed, silver nioti
oy put nsido. Many limes tho whalp
Inns anchorod by lNaparsok. nnu Jens
worked all hours to win coods and
coins. Thus ins iiiino spread ntnotit'
all tno people, and trom isnparsoK to
Kancamint no maiden would have to
fused to becomo his wife. But they all
know that ho loved Klso, whoso talher,
long dead, had become a Dane, and
who lived with her mother in tho old
houso tho father built. She was stran
ger than any woman wo had over seen,
and would not row in the umiak, or
fetch fuel, or eat like her inolhcr's
race is ut when Mann, m n spirit ot
jealousy it was said, made complaint
to tho l'ariasok that slio was idle and
proud, many came to tell of seaweed
she had gathered for them, and dry
berries and moss to keep them when
tho ico bad driven tho seals away from
tho kayaks. Even from Unmak, tho
island in tho West, that looked bo tall
and far from Elso's homo, catno a wo
man, wo havo scon two years before,
who cried very much to hear theso
words of her, becauso it was Else who
had brought food to her all tho cold
winter of 185G mid talked so uloasant-
ly that sho forgot tho hunger and
cold.
Wo were clad to havo Else lovo
Jens, and no one but jealoue girls
could Bpeak ill about her. Sho was
8 mall and bad yellow hair, although
18 years old, and such bluo eyes that
BOino said thoy come from looking at
tho moss tlowers which sho loved to
find in spring.
Jens, was always proud ot her, and
everybody said thoy were a fine couplo
as tuey walked together to tlio great
stono chnreh of Stikkcrtopen. They
had both learned to read of tho Mora
vians and could write to each other.
But this was seldom, because Jons
would eoruo two or threo times a month
to sco Else, and although ho could stop
out one day sue seemed so happy that
never dared the evil Kivigstoks to ap
pear before her. bho did not bchovo
in them at all, and only thought of tho
good spirits that seemed to love her
and mako her glad.
But one day sho was seen in tears,
coming from tho shore, aftor Jens had
gone in his kayack to Naparsok. Wo
did not know why it was then, but now
wo can toll it, hearing it so many
times. Sho had promised to bo mar-
lied when tho summer came, and from
that time was very quiet and busy in
tier nouso. I hero was ono timo alter
this when Jens had not been seen for
throo weeks, and thero was fear for his
sake. Then ho camo at last, having
no excuse and not seeming so bright
and pleasant as ho ought.
ilns iMso saw uctora us all, and
could not understand it. But when ho
was going away ho wished, at' tho
store, to light his tobacco and sought
tor a m tho nood ol his.iacket. When
ho did this Else waited and saw that n
paper fell from it and blow to tho'
ground. Jens saw it, also, and would
gladly havo put it back without show
ing; to Else. Yet ho could not, becauso
she ran to bring it back, very joyously,
8. ... 1 l Jt. Vt-- -
ua it, imuuruu uiuug tuu Buuru uku u
butterfly.
At last sue caught it and then stood
still as if great pain had como upon
her, and when sho saw Jena running to
her, und with hungry look plucking
away tho paper, she trembled like tho
littlo children when wo tell tales of tho
Angbiaks and of their ico kayaks steer
ing' through the Units and bergs with
the bouIb of drowning men.
biio had seen a woman s tace, very
beautiful, with largo evil eyes looking
softly for tho hearts ot men, and that
sho had her neck and shoulders bare,
as no woman in Greenland would daro
to bo. Tho namo was below, ami af
terwards she remembered tho English
letters and wroto them, hoping ono
day to know her life. Theso aro tho Ut
ters U-A-l'-I-Ii-Ii-l-N-K.
Very long black hair tho woman
had, and, strangest of all, sho was
brushing it and oiling it with oil from
a bottle marked with her name.
Nothing of this could wo now un
derstand, nor did Else, only that Jens
stood strangely before her, and tho ovil
eyes had drawn away his heart. 1 hen
sho hold her hand to him, and asked
for tho paper that sho miuht bum it
and sot him free. But Jens would not,
nnd walked sullen and cold to tho
beach.
This is why Else cried as sho camo
to her homo that day.
Many weeks after then, when wo
had not Been Jons in all tho time,
Ap'iluHe came from Naparsok and told
us that no had 'gone trom thero sinco
ho was at Sukkortopeiy and no ono
know whoro ho went. It was said that
old Karen . who walked with n long
staff, and was marked with figures, on
her arms and breast, had seen tho Ki-
vigtocks climbing in tho ice blocks and
aiming their pointing weapons towards
his house, and Karen held him for
dead, anil feared to look upon his old
path that huh rati to the shore.
But his kayak was gono and in his
houso tho Purissok found neither mon
ey nor food, nor anything but a small
pleco of sealskin many times wrapped
with tendons and markoJ with tho
nnmo of Else. This Apuluso gave into
her hands ami tt was gold, but wo did
not know it then, nor would l.lso use
it, but woro it in her bosom, loving
him still, and oven forgetting his cruel
actions ot neglect.
Seldom sho camo before our oyes,
but wo saw her on tho Sabbath, going
ulone to tho church, und every day sho
became t alter and more liko an angel,
so that all tho young moil wero wishing
, bug would torget her love lor Jens.
Somo months after ho had gono
away wo saw n ling upon tho staff nt
the station ot tho nation ot tno Auinin
istrntor, nnd the sound of four guns
told a ship wns como from Copenha
gen. Wo saw two men land from tho
ship i ono was a cleik and tho other
n Dane, como to tako tho nlaco of tho
Administrator, who wished to go to
his homo again, llo was tho fairest of
nil men we bad ever seen, and his
8inllo was liko lliQ smile of a woman.
His namo wns Hialmar,
In a month tho ship Balled and tho
now Administrator was in his place.
Wo found him kinder than others had
been, nnd tho knynkcrs told that nev
er beforo had thoy recived so much
coffee and tobacco nnd other articles
when thoy sold tho blubber and skins
of tho seal, lie had kind w6rds for
the littlo children, and at his houso
gavo thorn cakes and sugar plums. By
this wo thought he had children of his
own, but ho novcr had been married,
and so wo found by what had happen
ed. It wns in October that ho came, and
all things went well excopl that wo
heard nothing of Jens until December,
when tho ico beoamo so bad along tho
coast that wo feared tho seals would bo
driven away. It grow worse after this,
and m February many kayakers had
not killed a seal in half a month. At
least thero was not enough for tho
uoonlo. and thoso who caught seals
and wild fowl would not soli them, but
hid all they did not use, out of fear of
worst days
AlwavB had Anuluso carried fish and
meat (of tho seal) to Elso's houso being
paid there out of tho monoy which
they had from tho pension of her moth
er. So that, when Apuluso searched a
whole woek and killed no seals, thoy
could get notkinn in all tho place,
We woro griovod to hear of this, but
tho tear lor ourselves and the nam ia
bors of our own providers mado us
keep all wo had. Boarco enough at any
tunc to last ono day.
It was on Saturday, tlio middle of
February, that Else left her house and
wont to the houso of tho Administra
tor with money to buy food. This silo

European havo uses up our monoy very
soon.
When she went to tho house of Hi
almar she was dressed liko a Danish
maiden, and with her hair falling ovdr
her shoulders liko tho brightest gold,
Bho was very pale, having been much
without food, but her eyes wero bluer
than ever wo saw the moss flower grow,
It was as it an angel had gono away
trom tho sky nnd lived among us,
When Hialmar saw her it was for
the first time, she hud been so little
abroad.
She told him the food sho wished,
aud then, thinking how littlo it would
be, and how tho pension would bo paid
away, tho tears camo into her oyes and
sho hid them with her hands.
Then she turned and went to her
home, but it was told nt all tho places
beforo tho day was gono that Hialmar
walked beside her and brought the
Hour and barley sho had bought.
On tho morrow when Else left tho
church, wo saw that nialmar mado
hasto to speak to her, and walked be-
gido her a little way till their paths di
vided. Many pcoplo thero wero who
shook their heads and feared little good
would come of this now matter. But
on tho whole islaud nono daro say they
were not tho finest man and woman
thoy had ever seen together.
Every Sabbath they walked from
the church as I havo said, Else going
very timid and demure at Hialmar's
side, so that no ono could say if it was
lor more than respect to ins high
oihco aud power, Still we could not
blame her if sho had forgotten Jens,
who had been cruel to ono sc good and
lair.
It was March when tho storms broko
the ico on nil tho coast aud washed into
tho bay the body of a kepokak. very
largo and but a littlo time killed by
somo whaling ship. Thero was enough

tobacco.
Wbilo we wero busy in flensing' tho
whalo aud after the storm was over1 a
kayaker called Jorgen camo from tho
fjord of Isortok, where ho lived very
lonely, and told us that tho summer ho
had seen a kayaker going straight to
tho open sea, being then a league from
tho coast. At this ho was afraid, and
shut his houso all that nichl lest it bo
an anghiak and como to do him harm.
But tlio day after a ship was seen go

that Jons bad gono with tho whaling

I will now tell you what was tho
truth about Jens. There bad been at
Naparsok a whaling ship wanting
meal, many beinu sick ot 6curvy. This
Jens brought them, having killed a
whito beor and n walrus, besides Heals
and ducks. Of thorn ho had tho paper
on wiitoii was tno woman's lace, and
asking many questions, was told that
tho ship AOiild go to tho place whero
sho lived, which was near to Vineland,
in tho United htates.
In a book Jens had read of how. in
other years, Lcif and his brother
Thorvald had gono from Greenland to
vineland, aud believed it to bo such a
country as his own, only warmer, but
whero 'wero pcoplo liko ourselves. Thus
after a time, looking always at tho
wicked eyes of tho beautiful face, ho
forgot all but theeo. It was as if Tor-
nnrsuk had flum? over him tho snail of
tho kiisuinek, which lends men into tho
caves ol tho Icq dwarfs and makes them
blind
Ho was very proud, being so cood n
provider, and held It certain that tho
beautiful woman would lovo him if ho
camo boforo her. So doos prido mako
moro folly than kusuiuok.
After Jens camo back from Sukker-
topon, having beiiu bo cruel with littlo
Elso, tho ship wont to look foi whales.
mil the wind was not fair and nt niuht
u wns situ in signt.ueing calmed iu tho
North. Then did Jens tnko all that
ho had of value, except tho gold for
i-i t, nun, no uurcti not tuKe, tearing
tho Kivigtoks, by whom ho had sworn longer under tho charm, but full of
to givo this much to her. Yot so hnrd lovo for ono. ho had wronged, As, ho
was his heart ho cared not who found camo to the shore, seing bo many go
It so ho camo to no harm by taking tho iug to tho church, he had followed, vet
gold himself.
All night ho sought tho ship in his
kayak and ovon tho noxt day through
tuu mist unit jay ooyona tno islands, it
was at nark, nureast ivaugamint
that ho camo to her, and was taken
gladly on board, being known for
groat hunter of seals and whales.
In July tho ship wont homo, carry
ing Jens away, ho thinking always of
finding tho beautiful womnn whoso
fnco ho kept over with his silver and
gold nnd looked at it as If it charmed
hi life.
When it wns February, nt tho sftino
time tho ico was woist at our place, tho
ship camo to a plnco in tho United
States which was called Boston, hav
ing naught many kepokak nnd spnrm
wlialos. When tho oil wns sold thero
enmo to Jens for bis sharo ns niitch ns
fifty pounds in English monoy, enough
to fast him in Greenland threo years,
lho ships master gavo to .lens per
mission to go on shoro ovcry night
whilo they wero in tho place. Then ft
wns Hint ho honed lo Hud tho iieatitltiil
woman and toll hor his story.
When ho camo on shore nnd went
into tho place ho began to seo that
thero wero 116 Greenland people, but n
'thousand ovcrywliero of foreign pcoplo
nnd mnny' of them black. So ho wont
nboiit tn long paths, full of men nnd
horses, and saw no faco liko tho ono ho
sought until ho camo to a groat store
home, with windows liko the ico on
tho brooks in tho month ot September,
mid lit with many lamps nnd bottles
lull of red and blue fires. All tho,
storebouso was bright with bottles, and
Jens stopped beforo it.
This is what ho told us hoio, though
wo may not think ho saw it rightly,
that in theso windows stood more than
100 bottles, nnd on each was tho faoe
of the beautiful woman, brighter and
cleaner than on the paper ho carried in
Ins bosom.
When ho saw this he stood still, oven
as tho hunters stand on lho inanupok

till the seal comes to sight, llo was

yet in nil the number ot people none

around him they pushed cacii other, and
pushed him till ho gre- very angry at
their rudeness, and whon somo man
with cold buttons over all his clothint:
laid his hands upon htm to drive him

and struck' lilni in' the face. Then ho
was seized by others and drawn lo a
dark room among more of tho same,
kind, and lay there till tho day after.
On that day came tho man with gold
buttons nnd other men and led him to
a place full of people, where ho found tho
master ol his ship, and wns set tree
when ho' paid- two gold pieces of United
htates' money.
Tho master of the ship saw the pa
per and laughed more than tho other
men, but was sorry for him that tho
spell wns upon his heart. This ho said
to Jens that in the whole world no
woman had ever been liko the face' he
had, but men had made such a faco on
paper becauso it was beautiful to look
upon. Ihen he led Jens into many
storehouses, and in each showed him
great numbers of bottles, all with tho

Jons could not understand, nor can wo

Wo nro sure somo spell wns upon tno

When it was becomo summer at
Sukkcrtopen wo saw that tho Adminis
trator walked sometimes with Elso to
ward the place whoro tho children nnd
sho herself looked for berries nnd little
Mowers. Thero was ono day, bright,
.warm nnd mild, when with my chil
dren, I .stopped by tho Bido of a brook
that wo might gather berries for tho
men. While wo sat by tho bushes
near tho patch I saw coining from tho
town Hialmar leading Elso by her
hand. Then thoy passed by tho place,
over tho brook, but stood still on tho
other side. I saw that tho girl's face
was troubled, and that Hialmar spoke
many times to, her, now holding hei
hand in both his own.
Never had sho boen so fair before,
Her hair glistened liko cold in tho sun.
nnd soon her face was lighted With
such a look as I havo nover seen again.
She woro at her throat the bluo flow
ers of tho moss plant, that seemed liko
her dear self, as sho looked to tho
ground, scarcely lifting her eyes.
Alter some minutes sho tinned her
faco towards Hialmar and looked for a
moment in his eyes, and gavo him her"
hand which was free. Both of them
ho took in his, but put them gently
nsido and drew herclo?o in his arms,
nnd covering her faco with kisses, till
Elso drew away, looking on nil sides, as
if afraid. Then thoy turned to tho way
thoy camo and passed mo again. Very
much did 1 think of this tor two days,
not believing any harm could como to
hor, but fearing for her sake. But on
tho second day camo Hialmar to her
house, and asked her in marriago from
hor mother. Then wo first heard of
tho cause that led her to forget Jons,
and knew ho was without blame. This
was tho best betrothal mado by any of
tho women in many years, and to mar
ry Hialmar was to bo n lady and live
without care.,

In tlio month of Ancust nil tho pco
plo went on a Sabbath morning to tho
church ot aiikkertopcu to sco the wed
ding of Hialmar and Elso. Very hap
py mid benuiilul sho looked that day,
so mat wo wero proud ot her and ro
juiced in her good fortune.
When they had been married and
had turned nwny from tho priest wo
hoard ouo who groaned behind us as if
in great pntn. wo looked to tho door
and saw tlio faoo of Jens, full of fear
and despair. In a kayak ho had come

Tho regulator is tho highest paid work
man in' the factory. It takes him a
littlo over a day to tone a piano if ho
is working by time. If lie is piece
working bo gels it done within tho
day.. Boforo coining to him, however, '
tho instrument passes through many
hands, for each man bus his own line,
and never departs from it. There aro
key makers, 'hammer-makers, hnmmer
Icathererg, stringers, case makers and
finishers, soiind-bonrd-mnkers, and so
on. The keys arc mado ns a rule out

Floor nltor iloor was visited, until
fiunlly the packing ropm was reached,
and after that, tho wareroom, whero
rows of shining instruments stood,
each carefully covered to protect it
from tho dust. "There, sir, said tlio
guide, "that is whero a piano finds its
way six 'months or so after its manufac
ture is begun."
"What is tho average price of a pia

"Well, that's a difficult question lo
answer. You can buv a uiano at retail
for 100, or rather what for want of a
belter name is called a piano. You
na niso : think vnursolf luckv if vou wt

fer wns declined, but mentioned with
.approbation subsequently to a man who
has been connected witli tho, piano
trade. His' scorn was immense.
'Why como to me," snjd hi', "and I
will get yon tho samb piano for 3o0
on easy terms. There is moio non
Bcnso talked in that business than in
any other I have ever heard of. The
cash price of a piano to any ono who is
in any way connected with the busi
ness is invariably fifty per cent, lower
than tho catalogue price. Now I'll
just givo you a few figures to show
that tho manufacture is not such a very
costly affair after all. Mind you, too,
1 am speaking of first-class instruments.
Wages vary from $12 to $30 a week,
or in caso of a good regulator to $35.
Lumber is.dear, butthoieis not very
much used alter all in a piano. Whito
wood costs from $35 lo $G0 a 1,000
feet, and spruce for back from $22.50
to $30 a 1,000 fett. Tho hot spruco
taken from the sunny Bide of tho tree
for sounding boards is $45 n 1,000
feet. A set of keys cost about $17
ready for uso. The eastings necessary
como to about $12. Tho stiiugs Bay
about thirty covered strings aro $3.50.
Cases, when made by tho iico, us is

There is immense competition, cheap
