"Captain Morton Is a fine man, mother,

ever since we came aboard the whip!"
"That Is true, Mabelhut at my time of
life, I can easily pness the cause of the
Interest ha takes in your old bed-rid -!en
mother."
And Mrs. Barton looked slftnlflcantly
at her yonng daughter, who waa a beaa
tifnl, vraccful jirl of seventeen, with gen
tle dereelike eyes and brown hair.
Mabel, blushinp, assured her mother
that she was mistaken.
fcela very aorry for you," (he
adde!, 'and would do juat as much for
you if I vcero not here."
Tre old lmly'a eyebrows went up nnder
her nihtrap.
"I likn l.im mnch letter than I do Mr.
Tomtit," continneil Mabel, earnestly.
"Mr. Tomtit, ray dear. Is a man of for
tune, having fire hundred and fifty thou
sand dollar of his own, and to Inherit
twice aj much, from his father when he
die. The captain of thla ahip, on the
contrary, hn. no fortune does noteren
owu aahare ln thla Trwael. Granted ha la
a Rood man. Well, so i4 Tomtit. My
denr.lt will be the happiest moment of
my life to see yon take kindly to Toiu
tit." "There la nothing to take to," an
swered MaheL "I mean there is nothing
r.hcut him to claim attention or inter
est!' Nothing about Mr. Tomtit f I can aa
artre you he ia a man that women like. It
Is natural I should wUh to see you com
fnrtaMy settled. Tomtit admires yoe;
there can he no doubt about that. Try,
ou ynur part, to encourage Tomtit."
Mabel coutrlved to ch-suitre) the anb.
Ject. She h.vl never liked Mr. Tomtit.
Erer since this person hail made the ac
quaintance of Mrs. Barton ami daughter
a fetr mouths previously in Sidney, Aus
tralia, where the two had resided for
years, the metUerhad sounded Lis praises
In the enr ef her child. In fact. It almost
seemed to her that she heanl little else.
It was Tomtit here, and Tomtit there,
not II one bectiue heartily tired of the
name.
Still, she would not say earthing to
hnrt the feelings of her widowed mother,
who had been an invalid ever since her
husband died.
Mre. Barton and her daughter were
now passeugera aboard the homeward
lioiiiid ahip, Keddiff, of New York, Cap
tain Henry Morton, master.
This Mortou waa a xood-looklng. atal
wart youus fellow, as frank aa the open
day.
There was a marked contrast between
his pcrsoual appearanwe and that of Tom
tit. The latter was small, slender and ele
gant, always fashionably dressed, in a
shiny tall hat, etc., aud carrying a slen
der little cane, with which be lightly
tapped the deck when walking to and
fro.
As Mrs. Barton had said, he waa gener
ally l:cd l.y yonng women, many of
whni w.-.nld haTe been pleased to become
hfs n iTc.
Ms!cl, ho'.Tcvcr, was an exception.
"It ii i.o use," stic would nay to herself.
"I can ::rrr ::ko Tomtit. I nerer sue hU
r.niu'l, smooth face, with its two fl.tt
ry st w iluuut a feelin of abhorrence and
rtfnc.isace rising within ma."
r It hnd eo happened that Mr. Tomtit,
baring btisltiesa ln New York, was a felloe.-
passenger with Mabel aud her
mother.
lt' wss very attentire ts the young
Rlrl, l.:t thus far ehe had siren him but

lie scarcely ever spoke to her mother,
and when l. inquired after her health,
Mabel could percflre, in epite of all his
efTorts to seem otherwise, that he was not
lntcic-itel in her caso.
It was indeed a melancholy one. A week
arter sailing, Mrs. B.irton had been
struck with partial paralysis of both
limbs, s that she conld no longer walk.
- The youu captain of the ship had been
ronet.ani in hU efforts to do everything
for her comfort.
A son could not hare been more kind
than ho in his treatment of the old
lady.
Mabel liked him mock.
In her own heart she felt a startling
conviction that she lored him.
But her mother, as ahowa, wanted her
to hare Tomtit.
She liinl always been an obedient child.
Now her mother's aad condition carried
Kreat weight with her wishes regarding
Tomtit.
She lwgged and pleaded with her
itsiinhter, and at last won her consent to
try and encour.tge the young man.
The result was that in a few weeks
yeung Tomtit, dropping gracefully on
Ope kneo, prciposed.
I will try," was Mabel's answer to his
appeal, "with the uudcrstauding that, If
I change my mind, yon will not be
snjrT."
"Not In the least." be answered, irmll
ln, biying all this to the natural coyne.sa
of .t XTiaidru.
Then something waa said abont married
l'.fc, mother in law, etc.. In the conns of
which young Tomtit made a "clean
broitt of it," and acknowledged that he
did not ajippT cf a mother living with
the married couple.
"You would like my mother," said
Mabel.
"Well well yes; lmt really now yon
will glre into me lu this, dar Miss Bar
ton. Your mother has relations, I le
lieve, in N.w York. She can lire with
them. Young folks like to sew as little
h.s poHsthleot the 'old people,' yon know,"
he added, lanjjhing.
Mabel shuddered Inwardly. When she
told her mother, the latter made light of
It.
"It Is the way wlih the yonng," she
said, "I shall lire with my sister. Don't
fail to tell him that, my dear."
"But Captain Morton would not hare
acted eo."
"Hush! Yon must not speak of him
now. Captain Morton's kindness to rue
has all been on your account, not mine."
"You are much mistaken, mother."
A few hour later a terrific gale struck
the ship.
The wind bowled and shrieked, hurl
ing the craft almost on her beam ends,
while the foam aud the spray were
whirled in great white sheets to her top
sail yard.
There was to leeward an island, to
wards which she wut driren In spite of
t!i the efforts of the captain to keep her
sway from it.
There was no help for It the ressel
was doomed to strike!
When she was close to the rocks of the
island shore, Morton gave orders for the
masts to be cut down.
Tl is was done. The three masts
o;t led over with a crash, and wore cut
ilcr.
Axe In hand, hi sleevei rolled tip over
his brawny arms, his Lupe n.uscultr
chest henviu with his exertions, the
youuc optaiu peeiurd to do tho work of
three men.
His cool determined manner, his cle;ir,
cheery rotce inspired confidence.
The ship struck bottom in shallow
water before she reached the rocks.
The fch-.cl. was so i;ret thatmobtof
In: met vri re tliruTvu Xii.ni i i-e.
The snapping and splitting of timber
was heard as the wreck rolled and
tnumpod among the heavy seas, which
were now making a clean breach over
her, amidships.
"Down boats!' ordered Mortou. "Help
the passengers in first!"
He sprang into the cabin.
The room occupied by Mrs. Barton and
her daughter waa half flooded with
water.
Mabel, who sat with her arms abont
her mother, np to her knees in water,
tittered a cry f joy as Morton burst into
the apartment.
"Can I do anything for yon, Mlsa
Mabel?" faltered Mr. Tomtit, peering
down from thecabiu-ftsirs.
At that moment the crash of the bul
warks to starloard, an they were broken
In by a sea, was beard.
Tomtit, not waiting for an answer to
bis question, uttered a cry of terror, and,
running on deck, threw Liuiaelf into a
boat, now alongside.
"Come, come," he cried to the sailors
on deck; "jump In! jnmp in! and pull me
ashore. Thoship is breaking up. Quick,
quick, for God's sake!"
At that moment Morton appeared on
leek with M.slel in Lis arms.
With much difficulty he got her Into
the boat, which was now tossing wildly.
Tomtit waa too busy holding on with
both hands to the thwarts to afford auy
assistance.
Ordering a conplo of sailors Into the
lost to watch orer the ycuug girl and
sare her from being washed from her
place, Morton, saying ho would now go
and try to bring Mrs, Barton up, hurried
I'ack to the cabin.
n had scarcely entered it when, as the
ship made a violent plunge, a few of the
lieams shore the old lady's berth foil in,
barring hia further prwgrra.
He ran back to procure an m
At the same moment a lond crackling
souud warned him that the ship wonld
soon art amidships and go to pieces.
The tossing boat was also iu danger of
being store in.
Iu fact, the qnarter boat had already
bern smashed by lowering, o that the
long boat, now alongside, was the only
one remaining.
Mortwn's decision was qnlckly taken.
To wait until Mrs. Barton could bet ot
ernt from the Uebri cf t iml rs n!oiit her
berth, aud bronght up, wi.nle5 Ih to en
sure the destruction of erery pet-sou
aboard; for. by that time, the ship would
have gone to pivces.
The yo-tng captain therefore resolved
not to wait at least, not to ieep tho
others wsiting.
He ordered all the sailors Into tlie
boat.
. When they were there, he said: '
"Now, lads, pull for shore. There Is a
sand lech yonder, whero you may be
able to land in safety. "
. "Come on, captain!" cried tho mate.
"No, my duty is here. I will net learo
the craft while there Is a human being
aboard."
"My mother! My poor mother!" wailwt
Mattel, wriu.ing Ler hands. "I will i.ot
forj-ake her."
And she tried to pet to the ilec-c
The mate gently restrained her.
"Ir is for the best, Mim Barton," cr!ed
Morton. "I am going to May in order
that I can try to Bare your mother.
Good bye."
"Mr. Tomtit will stay and help you."
cried Mabel.
"Really," gasped Tomtit, "I I don't
think I would be of any use. For OoiPj
sake, let us start before we are all
drowned!"
With a blow of his axe Morton severed
ttte warp, and the boat ln a nioucut was
whirled away from the ship.
The captain rnehed into the cabin.
He worked with the strength of a
young Hon, with the water np to hU
hips.
Timber after timber gave way beneath
his rigorous blows, until at laat he forced
a pa-sHaaru to the Invalid' berth.
Jnxt then an ominous sound rencLed
him. t
It waa the grinding, snapping nol-.e of
the reesel as her tmbers were giving
away amidships,
Morton realized that be wonld not hare
time to drag Mrs. Barton on deck.
Ha carried her Into the cabin, however,
attached a life-preserver to her, e.nd then
seen red her and himself to a lare beam.
He had scarcely done so when, with a
thundering craeh, the ship parted, break
ing np.
Amid the debris of whirling timbers,
ropes, and spars, Morton struggled with
his charge strore to keep her bead aboro
water.
At last the wares washed both, half
senseless, upon the beach, whero they
were picked up by those who had safely
reached the shorn in the boat.
Mrs. Bartou and het daughter were
very grateful to Morton for his noblo con
duct. "To think of kls risking his Ufa, and
taking so much trouble for an old, nse
lesa. paralytio womam l.ks myself !' aaid
Mabel's mother to her child, with tears in
her eye.
"IInw different his conduct from Tom
tit's!" said MabeL "Tomtit thought only
of himself was. In fact, too frightened
to thiuk ef anyone else. He wanted the
men to pull aahore and leare yon n-i l the
rest of us in th lurch. After tliat,
mother, I hope "
"But, ray child, he is rich. Surely yon
will not refuse to marry bint?"
"I cannot marry so selfish a perwon,"
answered Mabel. "Think of it, mo -her
think of his conduct to-day."
"It was bad, but Weil, well, child,
do as yon like."
Haring obtained this permission, Mabel
hastened to Inform Tomtit that she bad
changed her mind, and would nerer be
bis wife.
A few days later the castaways were
picked up by a vessel bound to Boston.
Before It arrived there Mabel was the
promised wife of Captain Morton.
They were married a few months later.
The captatn, who had some money
saved, built a honse, and insisted on Mrs.
Barton always making her home with her
danghter.
The three are Tery happy together.
Morton is now a wealthy shipowner, and
Mrs. Barton has many reasons for feeling
tbaukfnl that her danghter married him
iustead of Tomtit. The latter proved to
be a worthless adventurer and gambler,
whose stories of ricbrs and the fortune
he was heir to was a mere fabrication.
The Time To Make Friends.
'I made my money by having no
frienils," was the startling remark of a
wealthy and comparatively young ciiiz-n
Of St. Paul.
"I came here not a great many years
ago alone. I had al way leen accustomed
to having many friends, aud so much did
I think cf them th:tt I cared not to tuake
new ones here.
"It was qt-.ite beneficial. I had nofrlends
to carouse-with and tho money I would
li.avu s;ent in t his way was saved. Tint's
the secret of my Ruccess. Now that 1 am

SNAKtS . Gt iUllLLAS.
The close of the civil war left some por
tions of the South in the hands of desper
ately wicked men. When law and order
were In n, measure restored, thene despera
does wero tho la&t to yield, and many of
them had to ho hunted down like wolves
and killed on htght. I bad a district as
signed to xi) along the St. Francis Iiiver,
Ark:tns.ts, aud the total FtreiigTh tif my
command was twenty-eight mcu. With
thefce I was expected to protect the fretd
men, gnard several plantations, scout
over all t!ie ro.ds, escort strangers, over
awe a multitude of bad men, and main
tain the dignity of the reunited United
States.
In my district, as I soon ascertained,
were half a dozou of the worst, despera
does In the West.
The meanest, if net the worst man ln
my district was a dipt. Dado. He was
in com maud of a doscn outlaws for a
couple of weeks and In that way got his
title. He had gathered five or six bad
men around him, and whilo posing as a
patriot v ho could never, never surrender,
he was robbing right and left and usiug
his fcU'.ol against ererylody who of
fended him.
I sentCapt. Dado word to come in and
surrender. He sent me word back to go
te . I notified Llm Iu writing that if
he did not crime in by a certain data I
should declare him an outlaw iu the dis
trict, and proceed to hunt him down and
kill him. He replied by word of mouth
that if I did not surrender to him on or
before the same dat ho would proceed
to exterminate my command.
I gave him ten days as a matter of form
having not tho slightest lie.po thnt he
would come in. On the morning of the
eleventh day I b id u call from a native
about 23 years old, who announced him
self as" Dan," and who said he h.-4d
called on a little business matter. I sup
posed it to bo about & permit or to make
complaint, but after a bit ho observed:
"Captain, them ten days ar' iip.au' I
reckon Bill Dade hain't shown kissel f."
"No, he hasn't como in."
"An ho won't unther." I
"I don't expect he will."
"Wall, ar' you gwiu. ter let l-.lru an'hls
gang keep up thar whoopiii' an' ahootiu'
an'killin'f"
"No. Bill Dade and his gang are now
ontlaws l y proclamation. I am going to
hr.nt them ilowa and wips them out."
"liigl.t off. Captain?"
"As seen as I can arrange for it."
"Yni kin arrange riht now. Captain.
That's what I'm yere far. How much a
Lead if I wio out the "Dade gaus?"j
"How many are they?"
"Jist five, au' every oue cf 'em has com
mitted juurdur an' wues a doxen times
over." .
"I can't oiTer a reward for their heads.
I have outlawed tiiom, and the military
authorities have tho right totiiuol ticiu
on sight. '
At th!:t moment word was brought me
that D.ide's gang had coj.ie. within two
milcscf headquarters and murdered two
of the command whi were stationed jit a.
free linia's rendezvous to preserve order.
Dade had Ki-sit me word br a liecro that
he rioise! t wipe t:s out :it the rate of
two a day Ttn Jl he readied tlie last man.
Half an hour lator tho man called Dan
departed ru Lis man Lunt.aud he !i :d my
tijreement in wrlt1n that neither the
law nur the military ehoiild trouble him
for Jd.ooting down nnyof the gang. As
was afterwards proved before u court of
Inquiry D.tde had killed twenty-three de
fenseless persons ineide of severs I months,
and none of hia men was far In-ycud Li
figures. " - ,
My man knew Jas where to lock for
the fiends, and as soon as ho could replen
ish his Hock c f cartridges and pack up a
luncheon he left town.
When ready to lenve town Dan stepped
Into his canoe and paddled up the river
about fivis miles. Then he cr.ternl a
bayou te the riht and carefully ma-lo hU
way to a bit of hlh ground about tiro
miles from the river.
All the low lands were then under over
flow for ten miles back, aud he knew of
but one spot where the outlaws could
rendezvous. This wbs a larger island,
atonthalf a mile away, on which wcru
a log house aud some fsrnt Improve
ments. At this time the place could lie
approached o::ly by water, r.nd Dade was
not bluTiug when he delled me.
It is doubtful If any cff.T of reward
could have induced a Fedrral soldier to
follow Dan. Tha overflow had d: ivcli the
reptiles ti take refuge i;i tha t.t:lirs aud
trees, and r his canoo moved in and out
the hiss of tho cotton-mouth and the
warning of the rattler came to his ears
almost continuously.
Half a dozen times. In t'.-.o oouro of
half an ho':r, hideous serrcnts let i;o of
the branches and fell into tho water with
a lo:;.I ;.!.i-h and swam for tho canoe,
perhaps hoping to bo carried to the high
groin;.!, at- l at such tin ns the man had to
lay down Lis j addle and beat thim off
with a pole cut for the purpose. There
was danger with every rod of tho journey,
and the M-mi-rlarkr.ess at:d the tttier still
ness wonld Lave tajtoa tho courage from
an average man.
Dsn tlid not laud upon the island, but
mads the circuit of it ;a his eauoe, and
one circuit satisfied him that :i -ntiuel
was established here, as he suspected
might fc? the case. If om had iietn
pasted there he had Iwen forced to ali.tu
don bis post by the thousands of reptiles
which had been driv?n ia f.)r shelter.
Any craft seeking the otber Island must
pass here, and any craft mating for the
river from tue other island must use this
channel.
Satisfied that be had left no danger be
hind him. and that this way of retreat
was open if ho was forced to fall buck,
Dau cautiously proceeded on his way.
It was not yet mid afternoon. 1 1 was a
hot summer's day, and there waaatKv
lnte silence in the great swamp. The
ontlaws, returned from their raid, wonld
expect pursuit, and therefore lie watch
ful. Dan was known to all of them, and
the instant he was ilisraverrd he would
be shot down. He kuew every foot of the
inland, and as he beared it he Lad his
plans all laid.
Making a wide sweep by fo-clnc: his.
canoe where it teemed hardly possible for
a serpent to go, he landed on the north
aide of the island, half a mile from the
lint. A.s soon as he had LMuen ti.o -raft
Le made Lis way toward the clearing,
moving with all the caution of an Indian
on the warpath, and fully uuderstaudiug .
the peril he was in.
In telling mehisst-ory, he saM be saw
more snakes that dny than he supposed
the whole country held. He touched
them time and again, and a score of times
became within au ace of being bitten,
and enly his thirst for revenge Lrnced
him up to ousb along.
When Dan reached the edge of the
clearing at a point where he was close n r
ju tho cabiu, he was surprised to find
jverytliin- quiet. There wnsa smoulder
ing tin at the door, and plenty of eyideuce
that the men were near by. If they had
set n. w.it!i it was down tit t?e l.mdmg.
After waging for half a:: l...nr Dart
mat. e tw o ii,rp:riant discoveries f.t juce.
One ff the men c:ime to tho dorr
y.twiiitLf.-.v up Lis hands, aud l.iokcd
abvu-. Llii iu. a tic-: y uiuaiier. There
saa ju. ot wuialtrj uuimi aha door,
end r.fter taking a long driuk the man
staggered over to the fire, threw on a few
faggots, aud then lurched into the house.
The other di.-covery wao that tho black
wuteriu tho bayou was rising. He got
ths hiut from the action cf coons, rabbits
and the snakes. They were pressing
toward the higher ground ou which the
Lou Hood, aud noue of them bcenied to
mind his presence.
Dan did not Lope to accomplish his er
rand without a fight. What he was flg
uring for was an advantage which would
put them on something like even terms.
He had a Winchester rifle, ami ir Le could
reach the cabin liefore the crowd were
aronsed he would take his chances.
Taking advantage of such shelter as
was afforded, and being ready at any
moment ta open the flih;,the man finally
reached tl.e cabin. It was a stout struc
ture, with a heavy door opening out
ward. On the plank floor within, sprawled
out in reckless fashion, were five sleep
ing men fnpt. bade and Lis outlaws.
They wero not only blecriers, but each
man was blind drunk. Tho" place siuelied
like a br.rroom, and it was plain that the
whole crowd had turned to for is regular
old spree. Guns, revolvers and ki.ives
were lyiug about on tho floor, aad some
of I La mcu mid partly undressed tlitsui
ktlres. Dsn could have ,ropo nmonj: them and
stabbed each one to the heart without
risk, but he wis not coward enough for
this. I hud assured Lira that every out
law caught shottl !w handed by the neck
nntil dead. He was ttiirikiny that he
would bind tho follows tight and fast, re
move their w suponn, ami then bar thorn
in until I.e could ret nrn for help and cap
tnre the lot for tho gallcws tree.
This plan world have leen cirriej out
but for one unlooked-for circumstance.
The snukis were taking p.ovwk.iou of
the csblu. A dozen rushed iu through
the open door iu cjuick succession, and
cthT cliuibi d up to tha open window, aud
either fell t th. floor or squirmed along
the l s. Ilrr.t was afety from the rising
wateis. Their fear of man was tempor
arily 1-r uumUrd by the other dauger, and
eotlou-mouth, rattler aud moccasin
passed the man at the door without
thought cf using their deadly fangs.
"I believe," said Dati, iu vdatir.,; his
story to mc, "that full f.fty of the jjizeu
tt pii'.vt. ;-K3sod in thar' within five min

"I CAT-rf ulTy pulled thudoor toand braced

I!o haci to wade In water Inee-dtep be
fore ho ;ot ba k to his canoe, and It was
after dnyliLt nsxt mori.ing when he
came to my headquarters to make his re
port and auk for a detail of men to go

- I concluded to go along with tho detail.
a.iu ai..ut noon we reached the place.
Tl:-? water h.vl cimo up within fifty feet
of tho cabin diwr, thus overflowing most
of the, clearing, aud cur progress from
th river was almost a continual battlo
with snakes. We hsd to kill a score if

Ths do&r aud blisd were n. Dan had
left t'rfem, and it was pl.tin that none i;f
the men had come out. Ho adv.tiK-eJ
alcue to the door, threw ic cln-n, and,
after a hasty glance inside, tail's back to
ns with his f.-ca as palo r.s death.
"Dcau, 1 stiptioee?" I queried.
"All In a Leap, sir, and thar's mo' than
a thou.-and au-iUes inside:"
Nono of tho rest of us cared to advance
and encounter the sight, and aa it was
ir.ipoesiblu to rcmovo anything from the
caoiu w returned to the iost. lu a
couple, of days thti water fell away again,
and theu Ihn went over and t-ocured

and burii'sl the cabiu down over tins
bodies of ti.o dead. I gave him permis
sion t. k-i-ji ail he found, and liuulo a f uil

The story went out that I shut the
Dade gang in after ii-arriiing i hem in a
f.ir lipht. and ttu wtory was sup; 1
mentci by half a dozen others, all fains-,
end the effect was wonderful. Within
ten days every outlaw Lad conm hi and
surrendered, aud begged for his life.
Two weeks later there waru't a "hider

The earliest notice of steel pens that I
Lave mot wiiL is Ly Worrlswr: h.
In lStr5 he anil his family were oer;upy
ing the house at Coleortou diiriugth?ul
. nce i.f Sr Guorge and lidy 1 Vaui.Hint,
and in t he mor.tii of December the. poet
wrote to the lattor what he er!!s "tho
longest letter I ever wrote in my life,"
and with reason, as it fills eighteen page.
Jlo begins:
"My Dear ItrlyTVanmont: There's pen
marship for yon! I shall not be el lo to
keep It up to the end in this t-tyle, not
withstanding I have the advantage of
writing with one of your steel jiens, with
which Miss Hutchinson has just furnish od

The next mention that I have noted is
by Dr. Kitchiner, in 11, w hen speiaking
of a f rieud aliovo CO, lie tays:
"This striviu of tho eye, Jind occasion for
spectacles of a hi,;li magnifying jnwcr, is
particularly found iu memiiiig pens, so

Tv this there is appended .1 i."t:-:
