WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
So many things there might have been
Had our dear child not died;
We count them all and call them o'er,
We weigh the less against the more;
The joy she never knew or shared.
The bitter woes forever spared,
The danger turned aside—
Heaven's full security, and then,
I'erplexed, we sigh: Ail might have been.
We might have seen her sweet cheeks glow
With love's own hapjiv bloom,
Her eyes with maiden gladness full.
Finding the whole world beautiful;
We might have seen the Joyanee fall,
The (tear face sadden and grow pale.
The smiles fade into gloom,
love's sun grow dim and sink again—
Kither of these It might have been.
We might have seen her with the crown
Of wifehood on her head,
A queen of home's fair sovereignties.
With little children at her knees;
Or broken-hearted and alone,
Bereft and widowed of her own.
Mourning beside her dead;
This tiling or that, beyond our ken.
It might have been, it might have been.
There is no need of question now,
No doubts, or risks, or fears;
Safe folded in the Eternal eare.
Grown fairer each day and more fair,
With radiance in the clear young eyes.
Which, in cool depths of Paradise,
1.,00k without stain of tears,
Reading the I.ord's intent, and then
Smiling to think what might have been.
We, too, Will smile, O dearest child;
Our dull souls may not know
The deep things hidden from mortal sense,
Which And thy heavenly confidence;
On this one sure thought can we rest.
That God has chosen for thee the best.
Or else it were not so.
He called thee back to Heaven again,
Because lie knew what might have been.

SYNOPSIS.
Master Ardick, just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one Houthwick, a ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
Industry, bound for Havana. Mr. Tym,
the supercargo, descries a sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the
Industry's guns. In the fray ope of the
crew is killed and 1 louthwick is seen to fall.
The captain is found to be dead, but the In
dustry is little damaged. .Sellinger, Ilrst
mate, takes charge and puts into Sidnioutli
to secure a new mate. Several days later,
when well out to sea, an English merchant
man Is met, whose captain has a letter ad
dress, d to Jeremiah Hope, at Havana.
The ci\ w of the vessel tell strange tales
of the buccaneer .Morgan, who is sailing
under the king's commission to take Pana
ma. One night a little later, the English
vessel having proceeded on her course, a
bit of paper is slipped into Ardlck's hand
by on! of the sailors. This Is found to be a
warning of a mutiny plot headed by Pra

Tym. They resolve to secure the mate, but

crew break through the now barricaded
loor, but are lore ii to retire, having lost
.seven of their number. Finding them
selves now too short-handed to manage the
boat, ITadcy decides to scuttle and desert
the vessel, taking his men off in the only
avaailable boat. The captain, supercargo
and second mate soon discover their plight,

by a buccaneer Hying the English flag. The
three Englishmen and Mac Irvach plan to
escape to the buccaneer on a rude raft.
Sellinger, the last to attempt to leave the
Spaniard, is disabled. Just after the others
put off they see a figure dangling from the
yard arm. whom they suppose is Capt. Sell

friends find themselves in the hands of
their old mate. Prudey. He treats them
kindly and offers to do them no harm if
they will but remain quiet concerning th.-

Many of the buccaneers fall, and Ardick is
wounded. Through the smoke he sees
Pradcy approaching. The city at last falls.
Ardick, coming to, finds Tym has rescued
him from Pradey's murderous hand by kill

hauled down from the castle and the men

CIIAI'TEU XXII.
OF TWO IMPORTANT INTERVIEWS.
The main cabin proved to be rather
a small place, as most of.the range
athwartwi.se was taken up by sleeping
berths, but all was well fitted and sub
stantial. There were only a few pas
sengers in sight, and those, by their
pallor, recovering from seasickness;
but a little way aft one cabin door was
ajar, and from within came a lively
of voices; wherefore 1 might
guess where Mr. Ilope and Dona Car
men were.
Capt. Telatrava led us to two small
cabins on the starboard side, and told
us that they were at the service of
Mr, Tym, ( apt. Sellinger and me, and
that he would give Mac Ivrach a com
fortable bert b 'twcen-decks. He could
do no better, he explained, in the
rather crowfted state of the ship.
We were only too glad to fare so
well, and told him so, and, indeed, the
cabins; looked wonderfully inviting
after the quarters we had quitted.
They were commodious and clean, and
each was provided with two comforta
ble bunks. Mac Ivrach was well con
tent with the berth promised him,and
in fact told us afterward that he had
no reason to complain of any treat
ment that he received while on the
ship. Capt. Telatrava and Mac Ivrach
being gone, we overhauled the cab
ins, and Mr. Tym and I took one —the
larger—and Capt. Sellinger the other.
Capt. Telatrava appeared to have
bestirred himself, and the passengers
must have been generous, for (lie
steward soon knocked and deposited
a great pile of clothing, from which
we very pleasedly proceeded to make
a selection. In my own case the ar
ray was a little incongruous, for the
coat was of black ferrandine, the
waistcoat of blue velvet, and the
breeches of a sort of yellow nankeen,
but nevertheless 1 was very well sat
isfied. The tit was not bad, and when
1 had added a good Holland neckcloth
and drawn on some brown hose and
a pair of rather loose shoes, I thought
1 was very far from being unpresenta
ble. Hefore adding the last touches
I shaved, and as Mr. Tym made a little
dull of seeing in the small mirror,
played barber to him also. This
done I concluded to see what, was go
ing on above, and slipped out on deck.
As I passed through the main cabin
T glanced toward the senorita's berth,
but the stir about there was over and
the door closed. As I came out of
the companion I found quite a com
pany of the passengers assembled, and
near them Mr. Hope and Dona Carmen.
Mr. Hope looked a little disturbed
and anxious, and I had no sooner ap
peared than he broke off what he was
saying and stood waiting for me.
I hastened my steps and came up,
olid as I did so the senorita turned
and gave tne a pleasant stnile of wel
come.
I took off my hat to her, fetching a
swift glance with the act, and was
instantly pleased and in a manner eon
fused at the change in her. I had not
sufficiently conceived what this res
toration to her own proper dress and
the shedding of her former unsuitable
and shabby clothes was to mean.
There was no more of the rather
undersized-looking figure, the great
flapping hat, with the old jacket,
smalls and stuffed jack-boots, but in
stead a nobly grown woman, elegant
in a silk gown, delicate laces, and a
cliarmingly-draped mantilla.
Yet all this was only for a moment.
T paid my respects—l know not wheth
er with a little show of confusion—
to Dona Carmen, and turned immedi
ately to Mr. Hope.
"Well, sir." he began, "we have con
cluded to 'bout ship, 112 presume you
have no further use for your sloop,
and if so it will be a convenience to
cast her olT."
"Do so," said I. "We are done with
her and she is not worth hoisting
aboard. Hut whither do you now pur
pose togo?"
"To Valparaiso, as we think," lit- an
swered. "At first we hart a mind to
try some port hereabouts, but with
the buccaneers so near it seemed too
dangerous."
"1 believe you are wise,"said I. "Mor
gan lias some ships, and there is no
knowing how far he will cruise."
"Then the sooner we get upon the
opposite course the better. I but de
layed to pet this further knowledge."
Tie turned to Capt. Telatrava and
bade him put the ship about.
While they were doing this I moved
over by Dona Carmen, and though I
was not sure Mr. Hope would approve,
ventured to engage her in a little
talk. I suppose I may as well admit,
at this point that I had come to find
very keen delight in the senorita's
company, and, though I had not
plumped the matter in so many words
even to myself, was most certainly
in love with her. That this was great
presumption on my part, and stood
fair to end in nothing but wretched
ness and disappointment, was eas3' to
perceive, but even BO 1 was none the
less eager 1o goon and enjoy the dan
.gerous delight while I could.
He showed no displeasure at our
tete-a-tete, and engaged me for awhile
in talk, though lie did not again leave
me alone with his niece. The rest
of the day passed uneventfully, and
at an early tnour my companions and
1 turned in. The following morning
everything was going well, and I bc
gan to relax at last from the strain
of the late adventures. It seemed as
though the voyage would be finished
in pence, and that I was done with my
strange succession of hazards and
misfortunes. That day nothing worth
s"tting down happened, and I may say,
j to be brief, that the week closed in
the same quiet fashion. One little in
cident I ought perhaps to except, and
that the readier because it was a re
lief from the harsh and serious na
ture of the late occurrences. The
; ship's cook, a lazy and slovenly I'or
! tuguese, was taken ill, and ( apt. Tela
| trava, who was dissatisfied with the
' fellow from the first, prevailed upon
Mac Ivrach to take his place. So well
did Donald acquit himself that Mi.
Hope, who was something of a good
liver, shortly made a generous offer
to take the Scotchman into his own
service, which was promptly and with
much gratitude accepted. We con
gratulated our old comrade heartily
on his good luck, which pleased us.
J might say, almost as much as it did
him, and was most excellently well de
served.
Of course, during the few days I have
mentioned, 1 saw considerable of the
senorita. It was her custom to come
pretty early on deck, and remain un
til the heat became troublesome, and
again she came out about the begin
ning of I lie dog watches, or even soon

on the shady side of the poop-decx

house. Mr. Hojie was with her the
chief part of the time, and on other
occasions was never long absent ; but
though this (to be frank) was not just
to my fancy, 1 could not find fault,
for the merchant treated me within
variable kindness.
One evening, soon after two bells
had been struck, 1 came on deck and
saw Dona Carmen standing by herself
near the after weather gang-port. My
heart gave a bound, for it was not
often that I found her alone at this
hour, and with a glance about, to make
sure that I was indeed so fortunate,
1 walked over to her.
"A beautiful evening," I began, tak
ing eare to speak in my usual tone.
She turned quickly, putting back a
falling end of her mantilla, and smiled.
"So it is you, senor? Indeed, it is
beautiful. I was just considering
whether I would not fetch a chair to
this open port and enjoy the view for
a little."
"You could not pass the time bet
ter, and with your leave 1 will keepyou
company," I answered boldly, yet with
affected lightness.
With which, only staying for her
consenting nod, I fetched two bamboo
chairs, and seated her in one while 1
took the other.
"This is the recompense of these
hot days - the wonderful nights," she
said, with a comfortable sett ling of her
head against the back of her chair.
"What a sky, Senor Ardick, and what a
sea!"
I followed her glance up at the
heavens and out through the open
port.
"Morions!" I answered.
"It seems as though 1 could be con
tent to have it goon forever," she said,
with a sigh. "It is all so peaceful and
rest ful."
"I can see how you feel so," I said,
sighing a little in turn. "Vet pretty
shortly you would tire of it and desire
to be buck in the stir and bustle of
the world."
"Ah," she said, with a sad shake of
the head, "you forget how little 112 have
togo back to, senor. Rather I begin in
a new world. Ido not desire it.and in
all earnestness prefer this peace and
content."
"Which 1 am glad to hear you say,"
said I, my pulse taking the foolish
freak to beat faster, "ft is my own
thought, to own the truth. Like you,
T am satisfied to be here, and would be
glad never to return to the world.
My heart {rave a bound.
There it must be the old strife and
disappointment and the parting of
friends!"
"And yet," she said, with a regret
ful lowering of the voice, "it is thus
that it will happes. The voyage must
end and our pleasant dream fade to
naught."
"Dona Carmen," said I —the words
seemed to come from my lips with a
leap, as it were, and almost or their
own accord—"our dream must end like
other dreams unless we make Unreal
ity. I mean" —for one instant I halted
and hung frightened over the abyss of
my own presumption —"I mean we
may make llie chief est, thing in the
dream come true, for we can refuse
to be separated—God help me! I think
1 am mad! llow dare 1 say this to you?
And yet it is true. I love you—lore you
with my whole heart and soul. And
now it is out, and 112 think I shall pres
ently be the miserablest man in the
world!"
The last atom of my courage left ine,
and I turned ray face from her and
stared through the open port.
It seemed an age before she an
swered. With a mechanical sort of
hearing I followed the low wash of
the water along the sides of the ship,
the straining of the timbers and bulk
heads, and the clicking of the gear in
the blocks.
At last her chair moved, and to my
amaze I felt the weight of her hand on
my arm. I swelled in a great breath
—coward it may be I was —and all
a-tremble turned to her. She was fix
ing grave and shining eyes on me.
"Carlos," she begun —oh, the sweet
ness of the Spanish tongue!—"is this
indeed how it is with you? Holy
Mother forgive me if I am indiscreet,
but it is thus with me also. 1 shall be
the most wretched creature in the
world if I have to part from you!"
1 have cast about for words where
with to explain what I felt on hearing
this, but to no purpose. I am per
suaded there are no such, either in this
or in any other language. Hut, in short.
I could have cried out witliraptureand
what I could not be restrained from
doing was to seize t he hand that lay on
my arm and between affection and
pure adoration bow over it and hold it
to my lips. She drew it away at last,
perhaps fearing that some chance
passer might see us, but, flashed the
sweetest smile back as a ransom for it.
What I said next I cannot tell, for
all was in a whirl with ac, and I war
rant I was scarce intelligible. There
were murmurs to and fro. and at last
—I am not clear how —I recovered
some measure of my senses.
"Well, dearest," I said, with a sigh,
"I suppose there are practical matters
standing now to b<> iiettled. My what
plan am I to make you mine, now that
I have won you? What will avail to re
move the obstacles, including the chief
one, which must be the opposition of
your uncle? Xot that he shall prevail
against my love," 1 added, sternly.
"Nay, not 40 uncles nor the world! So
much is settled, please God!"
She seemed to be a little frightened
at my earnestness, and yet I could see
that my desperateness of resolve
pleased her.
"Why, Carlos rnio," she answered,
with a charming frown of thought, "I
am not clear as to the way. I fear that
my uncle would never consent, and
though I love you—si, Carlos, with all
my heart —1 would not, save in a thing
of extremity, disobey him."
"Hut you would not let him part us?"
I cried, trembling with fear and jeal
ous dread.
"Xot if with right and honor it can be
compassed otherwise," she answered,
gently. "Xny, dear heart, mitigate
your fears. At least I will never con
sent to wed anyone but you, and I am
sure that my uncle is no such man as to
compel me. That will give us time, and
with time who can say what may not
be done?"
"Angetl" I cried, rapturously, and
I was senrce able to keep back from
snatching lier into my arms. Per
haps t he passing by of one of the sail
ors at the moment was the only thing
that prevented me.
"Hut Carlos, there is yet another
way," she went on. "Say you should
boldly seek my uncle and ask him? You
could do no more than fail."
"Hut I should do that," I said, de
spondently. "Ah, well, nevertheless
I will try it; I will urge him. I will
plead my cause. I will ask but for time
to prove my worthiness and a mete
place in the world. Content you. So
he comes on deck I will have my an
swer this night."
She heard me gravely and as one
troubled with doubts, but yet of my
mind. Indeed, this was but the put
ting into words of her own thought.
"Content, then," she replied at. last.
"Ah," she added, turning her head and
starting, "here he comes! Our Hlessed
Mother and every saint prosper you!"
She was up and moving across the
deck before I had my surprise well
mastered. Truly enough, Mr. Hope was
coming toward us, having just stopped
out of the companion.
I confess that the boldness I
had shown but a moment before won
derfully diminished now that the mo
ment of action was at hand, Carmen
gone and Mr. Hope present was quite
another thing from the reverse.
Still, I had, of course, no thought of
hesitating, and I summoned my reso
lution afresh and made toward him.
"A fine night," he observed, not
quite heartily, as I thought. I guessed
that he was not overpleased at finding
'Dona Carmen and nie together. Il
was the first time it had fallen out
in just this way—that is, that we liad
been by ourselves of an evening.
"It could not well be finer," I an
swered. By this time my courage had
a bit revived.
He came up to me, and with an air
grave and sober I went on:
"With your permission I have some
thing to say to you. Have you leisure
to irive me a few minutes of your
time?"
That was a business sort of propo
sition that at once changed his bear
ing. He answered with urbanity that
he was quite at my service, and led the
way to the part of the deck 1 had just
quitted. Making a sign for me to take
one of the chairs, he dropped into the
other and planted his feet comforta
bly against tlie gang-port chain.
"Proceed, if you please," he said,
turning his head a bit so as to regard
me.
Again a kind of cold fit. took me.
This alert merchant way of his put
me out, and then I had a growing sense
of what there was at stake. I hung
in the wind an instant, but in that
time managed to confirm my resolu
tion once more.
"The business, sir," I began with a
sort of desperate bluntness. "concerns
your niece. I presume some depreca
tion of my boldness may be in order,
but yet 1 choose rather to come at
once to the heart of the matter. In
a word, I love her, and she has avowed
she loves me. It lacks but your con
sent to wed her."

GAPES IN CHICKENS.
To Ellei'l ii Permanent Cure t lie I*«-em
l»en Mux: lie Cleared of All
A iigle-Worm*.
As a preventive of gapes it is neces
sary to rid the premises of the common
red or angle-worm, as their bodies are
usually infected with the gape germ,
says u correspondent in Fancy Fowls.
Soon after the infected worm is swal
lowed by a chick the gape worm devel
opes into a small red colored worm
which crawls up in the throat and de
scends into the lower bronchial tubes,
thereby closing the air passage so as tc
cause the patient to gape for lack of a
sufficiency of air, and causing death
within a short time if the chick is not
relieved.
The best way to get rid of the angle
worm is to scatter a quantity of strong
lime all over the poultry runs or yards
early every spring, and you will never
have any more gapes in your Hock.
I have done this for the past five years
and have never had any chicks infected
with this malady since 1 began the
use of liine.
Lime is also a good disinfectant and
destroys other disease germs and ver
min. The lime is also beneficial to lay
ing hens, as they get a portion of it in
picking tip their foods as it aids in shell
formation.
When you notice one of your chicks
infected with gapes, if you will make
a pill of gum camphor about the size of
a small pea and force the patient to
swallow it, immediate relief will re
sult, as the gape worm cannot stand the
fumes of camphor.
Simple Treatment for ltun]>.
If your fowls are affected with roup
I can recommend the follov ing treat
ment as an infallible remedy: Goto
your druggist and purchase five or ten
cents worth of peroxide of hydrogen.
If the affected bird's nostrils arc
stopped up, clean them on I, and with
a small syringe inject some of the
hydrogen into them; also swab the
throat with a feather saturated with
the hydrogen. Then take a small cloth
wet in the hydrogen and bathe the
head. Kepeat this treatment two or
three times daily until 1 he fowl is cured,
which it will be in two or three days,
except in casesof longstanding. 1 have
cured chickens that had the roup so
badly that their tongues were swollen
so that they were forced to hold their
beaks open. —Agricultural Kpitomist.
What SultMoil liijsr DOOM,
Moisture may be retained in the soil
by subsoiling, plowing, harrowing,
cultivating, mulching, rolling and by
the addition of humus or decayed veg
etable matter. Subsoiling increases the
depth of clayey and compact soils and
allows more water lo enter them in
stead of running oil 1 on the surface.
Subsoiling is thus an important means
of preventing washing, and it also en
ables the roots to penetrate deeper,
thus increasing the feeding area. I!oth
spring and fall subsoiling are of ad\ Ou
tage on a still', heavy land.
The Flavor of
A vast difference exists in the flavor
of eggs. liens fed on clear, sound grain
and kept on a clean grass run, give
much liner product than fowls thai
have access to stable and manure heaps
and all kinds of filthy food, liens feed
ing on fish and onions flavor their eggs
accordingly, just as cows eating onion -

the color of the eggs. Wheat and corn
give eggs the best color. —Itural WoilO.
