George Bancroft Griffith. BROWN'S BABY. Erown was rehiring to Toronto from a business trip of several weeks. It hnd been successful, and Brown was In his best spirits and temper. A little over nn hour would finish his Journey, and when the conductor sung out at the last stopping-place, "Ten minutes for refreshment," Brown embraced the opportunity to Dompound with his appetite on the terms of a cup of coffee and a sand wich, for ho didn't care to spoil the good dinner which he knew Mrs. B. would have In waiting. Just before him, as he elbowed his way back to the car he had left, his at tention was drawn by a pretty woman uarrying a baby, who 6cemed much in :onvcnlenced by the jostling crowd. Now, Brown, be It remembered, was In' an amiable mood. He took an In terest in babies, withal, having one of His own, an infant paragon, for whose sake Brown felt impelled to patronize oabi generally. "Allow me to anaist you, madam," he said, extending his arms for the pretty woman's charge. "Thankee, pir," she replied, handing !t over at once, and tripping briskly Into the train. Brown followed as closely as he jould; but, encumbered as he was, sev Jia' passengers ?ot ahead of him. In- '.he flycomers for seats, and Brown's mention for the time was fully occu pied iu maintaining his right to his iwn. The confusion over, he looked about tor the pretty woman, but she was no ':tre : ip .en.. Brown felt m i vouH, i Jmxi then .': whistle bkv, and the .; tin i.efli, :uoVff. ""iybe M"- - t;one forward to nn jtber car. niM,-.-. no room here," said Trown to h.ir?eif, "expecting me to iollow." ' Catching at, the thought, he rushed through, from oar to car, scanning agerly every face he passed, till he .eached the smo'lng-ear, and from that he would have passed into the taggnge-car, but that he found locked, ind "No admittance" painted on the loor. But all in vain; the pretty wo man was not to be found. A backward search proved equally !rulcles9, and poor Brown, in helpless perplexity, returned t3 his seat, and tat down to ponder. Brown was accounted a shrewd man, I reputation on whic'.t he had prided aimself. He would have laughed to icorn the wiles of the most cunning iha.rper in a trade; knew when to bel low with the bulK and when to growl wlvh the beirs; when to go short In kioonshir.e Freb.-rmi, and when to be tong in Goe-atner Common. That i.e, die wary Peleg Brown, should have a jounterfelt bri'iy paeed upon him ihould have been taken in by a trick 10 stale waa too gulling to be thought jf calmly, The baby hr.d flop, hitherto, but now !t woke up. Something in Brown's !nce frlghifr.ed It, end it began to cry. This adJed to Browa's embarrass ment by attracting the notice of the passengers. He ender.vored to quiet ihe little wretch; dandled It furiously; iven tried to Kins; to It, In a low tone) ks much as he could remember of Dr. Watts's "Hufh, My Babe," to a tune tvnich res'inbici' "Yankee Doodle;" jut .his f i i ,ht r.cd the biby still mo-e nd its Bcrcr.p.i.i became conliufaui. ' In despair, Brown hailed the prize- Bandy boy, invesUd in a package, tore it open, and thru it lu'.If the contents Into the baby's moutli, at the risk of jhoklng it will' the rrold dollar which might hiive neen anong them. But fwby v.-n0 too young to like candy, and puttered it over Brown's doeskins, turning up its n:-.'.i.ucntal nose in deep iisgust, and roaring Under than ever. "Hello, Erown! what have you got here?" suid Sum Twiggs, coming for nrard and clapping a hand on his friend' shoulder. A gleam of hope flashed upon Brown. Sam was a well-to-do bachelor, with rmt relatives, and would, some day, want an heir to his handsome fortune. Maybe he could be Induced to adopt the little stranger. Brown put the case strongly, but Sam failed to see It, "At any rate, hold It for me a min ute," requested Brown, offering Sam the baby, "till I see if somebody hasn't such a thing as a bottle or a paregoric, or something to put an end to this confounded din." " "No more at present; yours respect fully," said Sam, turning on his heel and hurrying away abruptly. "What a pity It hadn't been born three thousand ya.r3 ago, and found by I'haraoh'a daughter in a bunch of bulrushes!" muttered Brown, looking down B.'owlirigly at his vociferous burden. "For my part," he growled,.'! can't Imagine whatvor put It Into the little Imp's head to be bora at all." But babies can't cry always. Tnere 1s a limit to even their lachrymal en durance, and Brown't baby It was his, at least, by possessory title sue cumbed at last, and fell Into a quiet slenp. Brown became more composed bj degrees, and more capable of looking, the situation In the face. As he looked upon the little creature now smiling sweetly In Its slumber, his heart began to relent. It bore a fltrlklng likeness to his paragon at home; and If Polly's consent could only be obtained to adopt the little waif (is a twin brother or sister, as the case might be, of their own baby, wouldn't that bo the easiest way of escape from the rldlculo which was Brown's great est dread? Sam Twiggs, the only one present who knew hi in, might bo per suaded to silence. Big with this project, Brown reached his home, and I'olly was running for ward to fling her arms about his neck, when, stopping short, "What In the name of goodness have you there?" she exclaimed. Brown stammered out an Incoherent explanation, winding up with a state ment of the plan ho had been cogitat ing. Polly Brown was a woman of notj more than average Jealousy; but from her husband's composed manner and singular proposal, the shadow of the green-eyed monster grimly rose before her fancy, and her wrath wuxed fierce and hot, "How dare you Insult me to my face?" she screamed, In a voice that made Brown tremble. "If U you'd only look at It, Polly," Brown pleaded, "and see how much It looks like our own darling, you'd feel kinder towards It; It was that that first softened me." This only added fuel to the flames. To Polly It was only fresh proof of her worst suspicions. "Take it away! Take It away!" she cried, falling back on the sofa In high hysterics. "It would blast my sight to look at It!" "But where shall I take It to?" quer ied Brown, helplessly. "To the foundling hospital the poor house anywhere away from here." "Polly, I assure you " But Polly drummed violently with her heels on the carpet, and would not listen. Brown dared say no more, and lug ging with htm his luckless charge, beat a hasty retreat. "Oh, mum!" cried the nurse, rushing In with a frightened look; "whatever shall I do? Baby's lost!" That morning, he it explained, Mrs. Brown had sent her baby with its aunt and a new nurse she had engaged the weok before to the aunt's home in the country, With Instructions to tho nurse to bring the child back in the evening. Polly went out of her hysterics in less time than it took to fall Into them. "The baby lost!" she exclaimed, starting up, her face ashy pale. "Oh! mum," the nurise continued; "you see, I was getting on the train to come home when a nice-looking gen tleman offered to carry baby for me, and I let him. I went first and be fol lowed. After I got in I reniemberert that I had left baby's hood la tbe waiting-room. I couldn't turn bark for the crowd, nud so went on through the car and out at the other end. I found the h ood, but just then the traiii start ed, carrying away the gentleman, baby and all, ami I've Just got here by the ue::t train. Oh! whatever shall I do?" A new light broke on Polly. "Quick! call a hack!" said she to the nurse. In an Instant one was at the door; and faBt as the horses cor; go, Polly was driven to the foundling hospital. Brown, who had begun to feel a warm interest In the deserted baby, was In the act of giving it a parting kiss before depositing it in the basket, when ho felt a hand upon his arm. "Give me that baby!" cried Mrs. B., fairly snatching it from his h.tnds. "Don't don't, Polly, for Heaven's sake don't hurt the little creature!" begged Brown, not knowing to what sxtrcme Polly's jealous rage might car ry her. "Hurt it, you dunce!" cried Polly, devouring It with kisses;" why, it's our own baby!" It was a long time before Brown got over a certain feeling of cheapness, quite new In his experience, and still longer before his friends ceased to re member and repeat the story of Brown's Baby. Scandinavian tailors. It is no uncommon thing to find Scandinavians commanding British merchantman. Swedes and Norwe gians are natural sailors, and Scandi navian skippers possess this advant age over many of their British breth ren they are absolutely trustworthy on the store of temperance. As la well known, drink has sent more shlpa to the bottom of tho sea than any Dther cause, and this is the reason why English shipowners have taken to em ploying Scandinavian captains. Scan dinavian A. B.'s are much in request on the same account. "Personally," said ths mate with wiiom we were con versing on this subject, "I prefer pn English crew, and the reason why I al ways now carry Scandinavians is that when Englishmen get af.hore In a for eign port they invariably stay there until the ship Is reaJy to sail. This means that the ship is delayed and ex tra exponse incurred. Several Eng lish companies now Issue orders to their captains that no British sailors are to be employed if Scandinavians can possibly be got hold of." Pall Mall Gazette.

Cartload alter cartload ot these bodies were dumped into the sea. The sight was a sickening one, and what added to the horror, was the fact that in these wagons were piled the dead and dying. The feeble cries ot the wounded for release could be heard coming from the carts, but the appeals were utterly unheeded. Whether killed or wounded, all were thrown into the sea. Mr. Kalisian says that the Euro peans have not been molested up to date. They are leaving Constantino ple, fearing that they may be attacked.
