PRAYER MY MOTHER TAUGHT.
I do not question other minds, or what
Their creed—tf thoy believe In prayer or
not;
1 he prayer my mother taught, I've not for
got;
Ar<! I IXI pray 1 never may
Forget or fail, each night to say.
As when a child, on trut U!■ bed.
My mother taught me and I sail: •
"Now 1 lay file down to sleep.
I pray the. I.ord my soul to keep;
Should I die be fore I wake
1 pray the Lord my soul to take."
•Three score and ten of years have past me
ran,
Since 1 this blessed l pilgrimage begar.;-
My limbs are weary, my i~< et are sore.
And soon, I know, upon Eiyslan shore,
The pearl I'll win, an<l' need this prayer nb
more, • ■
My first, it's been my solace through my
past,
And brightly glows the hope 'twill be my
last;
That When I lay me down to my last slcpp,
I'll pray and trust, the Dord my soul to
keep.
Life's rugged road T have not trod in
For He who brought me o'er its roughened
plain
Has smoothed the way, and gently back
again
A little child to be, still holds my way
And moves me, as my mother taught, to
say:
"Now 1 lay me down- to sleep,
1 pray the Lorel my soul to keep;
And If I die before 1 wake,
I pray the Dord my soul to take."'
When on Its pillow rests my.hoery lieael,
\nd I my child-learned evening prayer
have said,
Al! d'oubts depart, no fear my soul alarm-"*;
Hut, freed from present ills and future
dread.
With child-like faith I yield to slumber's
arms,
Assured If Tno more shall wake '
The blessed I.ord my soul will take.
When morning dawns and slnmber's doce,
awolee
With joyful heart, I lift my sottl to praise;
And thanking Him,for all His mercies past,
invoke -
The love and care, through all my com
ing diays,
Of Him Whose watchfulness ha's kept
My soul from danger while T slept.

Master Ardiek, just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his ease to one Houthv. ick, a ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
"Industry" bound for Havana. Mr. Tym,
the supercargo, descries a sail. The
strange vcsatil gives chase, but is disabled

CHAPTER X"SCI.—CONTINUED.
"Pray take no theiught of it," I
said, hastily. "We are Christians and
Englishmen,and should be enough
to warrant what we may do in tlut.
affair. Hut now will you give me the
name of your uncle? Possibly the
captain may be acquainted with him?"
"His name is Jeremiah Hope," she
Answered, "and, since he is a man of
affairs and somewhat interested in
■hipping, it is not tinlike that Capt. Sel
linger may know him."
"Jeremiah Hope?" I cr!e<i, In sur
prise." "Why, 1 >»;tt l* tin English name. 1
Is it possible that jour mother was !
Englltbfi • .
"By blood, yc>3," she answered, smil
ing. "But Spanish, or, rather, Cubari,
otherwibe, for 'she was 'born ami ;
reared in Havana."
"Now. I call this a bit of news," l ,
said, with lively interest. "So you
are the satne as my countrywoman? I
This, to be sure, accounts for the color !
of your hair, which I have all along, j
thought rather extraordinary for u
Spaniard. But Jeremiah Hope? I.sup
pose I must be wrong-, yet —nay, J
think I have heard the name. Let us
sec wl'iat the captain has.to say. Ciipt.
Sellinger," I called to him., "have you
r.n acquaintance with one Jeremiah
Hope? lie lives in Havana."
"Why," was the answer, the captain
looking tip in a little surprise, "no ac
quaintance, but he is the person to
whom 1 am carrying the letter. 1 mean
Capt. Torrycorn's letter."
It was instantly clear to me. Of
course 1 had heard the" name, and it
was a wonder I had not recognized it
before. I hastened to explain why I
had asked the question, and added
what the senorlta had previ&usly told
me.
Naturally my companions were as
greatly surprised as I, and we
all agreed that we had seldom heard
of a more singular circumstance. .
"Then," St'Uinger, as we con
cluded, "it may come to it that we
shall carry Mr. Hope his niece as well
as his letter, for otherwise it would
be much the. s-affne as ( cutting he)F
adrift." - *
"To which I say ameji," said I. very
heartily. At other timgs. Iliad.been
wont to let; Mr. TViUi sjiealy firs}, but
now I elftl not \valt.
Both Mr. Tym and Mac Ivracli, as
might be exjiecteel, were prompt to
agree with us.
"This being our decision," said I,
greatly pleased,"! will make it known
to the senorita. She cannot fail to bp
relieved by it."
I returned to her «vith the news ac
cordingly. and had the great satisfac
tion of finding her as rejoiced and-:
heartened as I had anticipated. lij-;
deed, she was deeply moved and grate
ful, and in her touching manner of
saying so fairly brought the tears to
my eyes.
This matter, then, being so well set
tled. we addressed ourselves anew
the business of continuing the voyage.
We had decided, I should say here, to
run first for Buenaventura, which Set
linger thought was not much above a
hundred leagues distant. From there,
should need require, we could make a
further voyage in the boat, but we
hoped -to light upon some way of con
tinuing in a larger craft. Once in one
of the important southern ports, antj
we could not fail 1o find a ship sailing
to the Atlantic side of the continent.
The next day and the next passed
without incident, and we continued tp
work slowly but steadily south. The
third day something rather important
happened, for the wind, which had
hitherto so greatly favored us, quite
abruptly changed. It was now almost
dead from the southwest, and at once
reduced our speed at least three parts.
In fact, with our shoal keel and high
bow we cottld make no more than a
knot an hour. This was rather dis
couraging, but the captain said it was
to be anticipated, for we had now come
to the region where there were pre
vailing southwesterly and southerly
winds, and these, we should find, con
tinued to the equator. This was more
philosophical than comforting, but we
could do no otherwise than make the
best of it, and so the noon of the third
day drew on. I was at the helm, which
I had recently taken, and was shak
ing out a kink in the mainsheet, when,
happening to glance to windward, I
saw that which instantly suspended
my operation and brought me with a
leap to my feet. Low down on the
water line, but perfectly distinct, was
the white, unmistakable canvas of a
ship.
I did not wait for a second look, but
bawled out, as though I had been at
the masthead, "Sail ho!"
They all sprang up, like so many
puppets in a show.
"Where away?" cried the captain
and Mac Ivracli together.
Mr. Tym, who was on the ether side
of the boom, scrambled under, and we
all stood in a group.
"Yonder," I-said, pointing at the
speck. "Thank God, she is not from
the direction of Panama!"
"No, she cannot be a buecaneer; com
ing from that quarter," said the cap
tain., with a breath of relief,
"The next tiling is to determine her
course," said Mr 1 . Tym. "Would we had
-i glass!"
"We maun itiak' it uip in patience,"
observed Mac Ivraeh, "whilk is no a
•satisfactory substitate."
We agreed with him, and sat down to
wait for the unresolvable speck to
grow.
Very slowly, as it seemed to our im
patience, it swelled and whitened. At
last we got the square of the upper
sails, and could be sure she was bound
our way. She was coming down exact
ly before the wind.
"I suppose," said Mr. Tym, speaking
with that composure which scarce ever
fcrsook him, "that we are of one mind
what we should do. Our case, though
not a desperate one, is undesirable,
r.nd it would be better to try to mend
it. by board'ing this ship—that is, if she
will receive us."
We looked at one another, but there
| was no contrary opinion.
"Then," went on Mr. Tym, "say you
J yut down .your helm, Ardiek. and we
! lay our course to cut her ofT."
"Very well," said I, and I according
ly tacked and fetched the sloop asnear
! as she would come to the wind.
The ship was now so near that we
could begin to make out human fig
u.cs, and also get an idea of her size
j and rig. She was of 800 to 1,000 tons
burthen, well sparred, in neat trim
1 aloft, and seemed freshly puinted.

and the captain tore off (lie senoitita's
canvas curtain and affixed it lo thet'fid
of an oar. 1 slso fetched out my iiii
tols and successively let them oil'. I
was determined that no lack of sea
sonable notice, if she were indifferent
about taking us, should stand as ah ex
cuse. ....... , ....
"She sees us! She is about to I/at'k
her topsail," cried Sellinger.
This joyful news proved true. It
neded only a single (lull at the sheet
and a thrust of the tiller; and'we
picked up our former headway ;ind
ra'cPrl' for her long-side.
"'She's West Inrtips built." Sellifiger
commented for the .last time: "Aye,
twig the black wopd in her lower spars
and the straight, lines of her poop!
Hut what is.her name'.' She seems to
have a kind of gilt flying fish for a
figurehead."
"It maun be an angel—-the figure
head." auswer.ed Mac Ivracli. "though
wi' some reefing o' the petticoat, or
whatever, and he'r name is the San
cliiea."
1 was hauling in sheet and the sloop
was swinging off the ship's bow before
much more could be said.
A short, black-bearded man m a
rough jacket an l long boots swung
himself up to the fore-shroud arid
hailed us. Truly enough, the words
were Spanish.
"Sloop ahoy!"
- '"Board the ship!" I bellowed "back.
"We are in distress!"
He took a short.look before-lw; an
swered again.
v"Y-(Hi mav board. Drop aft and stand
by ffir n line."
"There is«a Ayanian with us!" I
shouted, once more. "Will you, not
take her in at the chains? lie made
n gesture as though of surprise.
"Aye. Lay up, to the main chains:"
I gave the sloop the trifling way she
required and luffed again just off the
midships bulwark. This was now lined
With heads.
Some men came running that way,
the officer's voice I sharply directing
them. and at one' V.the fak-s of a line
shot out and fell across otir fore deck.
Mac Ivraeh was there to receive it, and
with a good turn we-were at last con
nected with the ship. Another line fol
lowed. and two sailors dropped into
the chains to handle it. I hurriedly
explained to Dona Carmen what, the
design was and secured her in the
loop of it. We had only to wait for
a favorable moment and the men safe
ly drew her up. Mr. Tym, Capt. Sel
linger ami Mac Ivraeh followed, and I
She wa? deeply moved
made a bundle of our effects and came
last. It was with a feeling of pro

finally swung over the bulwark and
dropped upon the deck.
There were us many as threescore
people standing about. Other than
the sailors there were six or eight men
and as many women that were very
well dressed, and nearly all that were
talking seemed to be employing good
Castilian. Not many were' of the
swarthy type of Spaniard.
As I jumped off the rail The captain
shouted to his first oflicer to fill away,
and then turning to me asked in a
brusque but not harsh tone what it
was thiit had happened to us, and
what we were doing in these parts.
"Those questions and others I will
gladly answer," 1 said, touching my
hat, "but first I beg that you will care
for this lady, who is not alone fat igued
but stands otherwise in need of your
hospitality."
He looked at me, as though not ex
pecting such ;i precise and perhaps
well-chosen answer, but after a mo
ment answered civilly:
"Very wall, senor, that is not unrea
sonable. 1 will see what may be done."
He turned to the ring of eager and
curious women and said, with a rough
sort of salute:
"You have heard the senor, ladies.
Are there those among you who will
take the senorita and care for her?"
"Si, si," cried a dozen generous voices
together.
With which they pressed forward
and with southern warm-heartedness
filing their arms about Dona Carmen,
and almost carried her away.
"And now, senor, we will overhaul
you a bit," resumed the captain. "But
first, as to your boat. Is she worth
preserving? If she is no better than
she looks, I care not to tow her very
far."
"First bear with me till I have asked
a question," I answered. "Whither are
you bound?"
"For Panama," he replied, a trifle
impatiently.
"Alas, senor." I said, sadly, "you will
scarce go there; Panama is in the
hands of the buccaneers!"
"Diablo! what say you?" he pried,
starting. "In the hands of the buc
caneers —of the Englb.h piratos? Xay,
it cannot be! Madre de Dios!"
Those standing about caught the
words and a great stir followed. Sev
eral pressed forward, and without
j further regarding the captain began
| to ask eager questions, and some fti
i riously swore. In the midst of the
hubbub a stout, sturdy, gray-haired
j man. with a fresh complexion and very
| well dressed, jmshed his way to the
I front.
"Are you Knglis-h ?" he said in a blunt,
authoritative fashion. To my surprise
he spoke in that language.
"I aim" 1 hastily jt-nswered. "Thank
God that you seem to be, uiso!"
"And lliis -thing that you were teib
ing'."' he went on, ignf.Tlr.g my ex
clamation. "Is it true that Panama
is in the hands of the buccaneers?"
"It is, sir." I said, most restrninedly.
"The city is taken and sacked."
He' drew a long breath.
"Von are little like to know the mat
ter I would ask,"he resumed, "but I
will put tfie questioa. Hid y<iti hear
any mention of one Dona.Caftueu Gon
zales? She lived in Tnboga."
My amaze ut this question may be
imagined.
As soon as I could put my tongue
to the words I cried:' >
"Heard? Why, sir. she is fit this
very-moment in your cabin! Indeed,
and I do believe vou must be Mr. Jere
miah Hope!"'
"In tli.e cabin?" lie only exclaimed,
as in wonderment. "And is your com
panion who went below she? Nay, but
this almost passes belief! What, that
poor tattered creature, and in man's
attire! My God, what must she,not
have suffered!"
"Vet she is well, sir," I said, eagerly,
"and.lias come out of that hell without
scathe. Hut you must, indeed, lie her
uncle."
"I am Jeremiah Hope," he said,
with another long breath, though now
with ft changed air. "I will go down
at once." he went.on. "But stay, I am
exceeding grateful to you and your
companions. I will say more of this
anon.. I am-the owner of this ship, and
am glad'that it is in my power to do
something for your present comfort.
Capt. Telutrava." be' weiit on in Span
ish, und speaking again authoritative
ly. "1 desire that 'you' have these
senores below and do all that may be
done for their welfare. Shortly I will
return and we will confer about the.
course of the.ship."
lie gave us a kindly nod and made,
for the companion, and in much won
derment and not a little jumbled in
my thoughts I turned and prepared to
follow the Spanish captain.

UNFORTUNATE CRETANS.
Some of (lie Hardship* of un Ab
ject Itoi'o lit Ilie Kurly
Aicca.
Even in ancient time 3 to be born a
Crete meant a life of misery and hard
ship. They were then as abject a face
as they are now. Epimenides, as quoted
by St. Paul, said: "The Cretans-are al
ways liars and evil beasts." In the
Levant to this day to say that a man
is a Crete is by no means a compliment-.
The island is inhabited by people who
speak the Greek language and hold the
Greek faith. They have inherited the
beauty and, to a certain extent, the
heroism of their immortal ancestors.
They are acute, genial and comely in
their manners; the humblest bare
footed peasant girl holding her distaff
under her arm and spinning by the
roadside, exactly as described by Ho
mer, had a profile as perfect, a form as
graceful and an address as courteous as
though she were some princess in dis
guise.
One of the most interesting episodes
of the Greek revolution in 1825 is of a
certain cavalry officer who surprised a
detachment of Turks, routed them and
captured their 20,000 sheep. Upon this
a Turkish general marched over to
them with 5,000 men and recaptured the
sheep. The general posteel liis men be
hind low earthworks. One reeloubt of
their opponents was held by a young
captain, with 100 picked men, who tied
their legs together and swore to hold
the spot or die. They all fell at their
posts but one, who fled, and long after
ward a row of skeletons could be seen
bleaching their bones, which were
bound loosely together with shreds of
girdles.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Power of Sympathy.
An eminent clergyman sat in liisi
study busily preparing his sermon
when his little boy came into the room,
holding up a pinched finger, and with
an expression of suffering, said:
"Look, pa, how I hurt it." The father,
interrupted in the middle of a sen
tence, glanced hastily at him, and with
the slightest tone of impatience, said:
"I can't help it, sonny." The little fel
low's eyes grew bigger, and as he
turned togo out, li'e said in a low voice:
"Yes, you could; yau might have said
'Oil!' " —Detroit Free Press.
When flie Czar Spenks.
This story illustrates the suscepti
bility and quick wit of Donizetti, the
Italian composer. During his long
stay at St. Petersburg he played by
command before Czar Nicholas, who
entered into conversation with a by

FLAW IN THE TRIAL.
Why the Carter Sentence Has Not
Yet Been Enforced.
A' Slory of WMcli l!n* T\«»*
lt» Ktpjcl in A siicr it'll ri Army
Rpciird*—Tin- raiitain "Cut
l»y Old C'oitirndfi
It is a'most two yG-ars ago that ("apt.
Ob; Win M. Carter "as tried* by court
martjal and found guilty of having
embezzled large sums of money while
he, 'as an officer in the United States
corps .of engineers, was in charge of
harbor and river improvement? along
the gU' ■ coast. The cobrt-martlal sen
tenced him to be dismissed from the
army, to be imprisoned for a term of
three years and to pay a line of SIO,OOO.
The decision of the court-martial was
unanimous, and It was sent to the
president for his signature, but for
some reason the order of the court-mar
tial was never carried out. President
McKinley has had the case reviewed
by the.attorney general, and others of
high standing as lawyers, and in each
Instance the finding of the court-mar
tial has been sustained. But ( apt. Car
ter maintained his standing in the
army and has drawn full pay as. if he
had not been disgraced by. reason of
the court-martial.
Since the -appointment of Elihu /loot
ns secretary of war the ease has again
been reviewed, and although the sec
retary of war cannot find a warrant,
in the testimony to show that Carter
is irot gvlilty, yet he is said to have
found a flaw'which will, enable the
president to set aside a part of the
■sentence of the court-martial. This
means that Capt. Carter may go free.
He may be dismissed from the army
and may be fined SIO,OOO if the presi
dent so decides.
That Capt. Carter has had powerful
influences working for him to have the
matter delayed is said to be the case.
He originally, came from Ohio, and it
*aid he owes his career in the army
to the members of the Sherman family,

(Charged with Having Embezzled I.arge
Sums of Money.)
who helped him to get his appoint
ment.
While at Savannah, Capt. Carter was
in charge of large government con
tracts and had the expending of large
appropriations for river ami harbor im
provements in hands. lie organ
ized companies of which he was the sole
owner, or principal stockholder, to bid
on the proposals of the engineers' of
fice for the work and competition was
useless on the part of other contract
ing firms, as Carter's company always
got the contract. With him in this
deal, as the evidence taken before the
court-martial shows, were several per
sons of prominence, some of whom are
at present sojourning across the sea.
During his life in Savannah and
other southern coast towns, where be
was conducting the work, Capt. Carter
cut a wide social swath. He lived like
a prince, had the finest equipages,
gave the best dinners and lived in one
of the best appointed houses in the
town. It was shown that he owned a
private steam yacht, which had been
paid for by government money. In
fact the review of the evidence given
some time ago reads like a romance.
Besides the court-martial, it was
said that civil proceedings were to be.
brought against the contractors asso
ciated with Carter in his schemes to
recover the millions stolen from the
government. S'hould President Me-
Kinley modify the sentence of Capt.
Carter to a simple dismissal and a fine,
it would, in a. manner, discredit the
civil proceedings.
Carter has of late cut but a sorry fig

"cut dead" by them and gets but scant
recognition from all civilians who know
him. Of late he lias been living at a

Strict 01ie«11**nec Pny*.
Discipline in tlie German army is very
strict. Not long ago the empress, re
turning from a walk with a lady in wait
ing', was stopped at the park gate by a
sentry, who refused to let herenter. In
vain the lady represented she was the
empress; the soldier said he did not
know her, and could not let lier pass
till he could get someone to identfy her.
This was eventally done by another
soldier, and only then did the sentry
allow his sovereign's consort to enter
her own gates. Tiie man has since had
a special message from the emperor.
Uglily approving his steady adherence
to orders.
