For more than a week the Penpuin had laid fit anchor in the little harbor at liastia. Slie was a small schouniT, a weathor-lieateii, luhlierly craft, with her yards splintered and one of her in:its hroKen, y-t she looked Ktronirly iieturesviue, Ktandin with bare poles aiint the flaming riiuset t.ky, as I allowed my little lniat to drift liefore the p-entle brve ze. AlMiard the eraft tliere were no sins of life visible, and I knew that A.'up; triiiK must Im ashore, filling himself with rum, as was his custom when ('apt. Darke was alist ut. My old friend, the captain, had leen lH'jitinif aiout the Mediterranean with his lublH-rly schooner for half a. score of years, and so he inifrht still have lieen iiLtifred. hut for the arrival of a letter at llastia telling him of a uewly-in-heritiwl fortune left him by an uncle who luid lieen livinr in Florence. lint njon receipt of the poods new he was ofT at once, leaviu'his disabled schooner in charfje of Mnprfrins, an old sailor who was more honest than sober. As my lioat drifted alongside the I'dip-niii I p'reeived a rove trailing over the ort side, and. making' my lit tle craft fast, I ilrew myself upon deck. I lookeil about Jne, but no one was visible. It was evident that. I was the only soul almard the Penguin. i threw myself on a camp-stool in the shadow of the sail and fell to repard inp the Taupe of ilark hills that rose hack of the romantic little city. Pres ently I was interrpted by the sound of oars, and a few moments later Mupr pins taw ny head apiearcd over the rail. He starteil when he saw me, and was aliout to leat a ha-sty retreat when my voice "stopped him. "Illess me. I thoue-ht von were n phost. I did, by the tiowers!" lie said, seeminp well pleaded that his fears had not been realized. "Well, now, what the deuce is there alvout me. Mnppins, to make you think me a ghost?" i asked. "Oh. it isn't that you look like a ghost. Mr. Kaymond." he returned. :i ologet ically. "Hut, you .see. w hen a cote is Iookinp to see a ghost, he's pret ty certain to take the first live thing his eyes fall on tor w hat he's looking for." "Then you were e.jectiiig to see something of the siiiernatui-:il kind?" "That's a fact, Mr. Raymond, though 'tain't often a cove is ltclicvcd when he tells such a story. There's a ghost on this old hulk, or else I'm losing niv eve sight."' "And von reallv lielieve in such non sense?" "I Iwlicve what I sees, that's all." "What lil ou see?" "Well, since you ask, I don't mind telling you. You see, since C'apt. Darke went aw ay and the crew wasilis cluirpiil, the Penguin has been under my care, and I have been sleepinp aboard tiie essel and sp-!.dinp most of my time here. I-ist night about two o'clock I woke, thinking 1 heard some thing; niovinp near me. I was idee ping in, my cot on the deck, and as I looks about me I sees a woman, all in w lute, moving- like a specter right by the hatchway. While I was watching, it seemed to sink into tlw deck ur.d iliiip ear. I'm not tlie man to run from a single night-prow lor, l.ut I f.it ,uit ! like at this, and can't set how a vt umai. could be on the Penguin. Thinking she might have fhsoendi-d the conii::i:ii.ii ladder, I piM'sdown with a laiitcrn. but firilj.r.othinp. Then I looks :;!1 over liie v. itJi the sanu- rctnlt. I i-Icpt ho moie th.-.t. night, and th-iip!t I lc;-jk after the shii dunng the day. 1 shan' sleep here again if I know myself, call it plicst or what you will." With this he picked up :t lantern and descended to his boat that lay along side. "Then I shall spend the night here and lay your ghost for you,"-l said. "You'll greatly oblige me if you will," he returned, "though I'll lie blowtd if 1 think you .succeed. (Jood cvcnii.p, Mr. Kaymond. I'll drop alongside cai ly in the morning- and see how" you have fared. There's the key to my cabin," he added, tossing the key upon the deck. "You'll find pipes and plenty of tobacco, and a sip of rum in a decanter, if you look close. Now again pood night to you." His oars dipped into the water, and he w as pone. Dusk was id ready settling over the water. 1 took a seat oikthe deck and lit :. cigar, and licpan runninp over in my mind some of the events that had 1--faJlen me since my arrival in Corsica. For more than three months I had been, stayinp in the romantic little island, finding- a restful charm in its ijuiet seclusion tliat was a p'-ainp con trast to the life I luid been s.e!ilinp for the past two year, iu the pay capital of the restless and jileav ttre-lovinp French. One is not likely to expect to meet with adventures of the thrilling kind in the eaoeful precincts of Pastia, yet something horderinp upon this had come to my lot le than a. month lie fore. For the amateur artist the quaint lit tle city will fun.--4i uuuiy subjects for the jH-ncil ami brush, and I had made pood my opportunities since my ar rival. The most prized amonp my collec tion was the portrait of Veda, the little Corsica n fruit-seller. There was some thing fasoinatinp in her very pose, ami tlie dark In'auty of her face luid drawn me to her as if by some subtle witchery. One evening, as I was strolling throuph the streets. I heard a cry of mortal terror come from the court of a ruined Luildinp where several oor families had taken their nliode, and en terinp hastily I perceived an nrred woman, withereil hap. with uplifted knife, in the net of .striking a pirl wlx was crouched in the corner of the wall. I struck the knife aside, and the .,,.,,1.1 Iw. murder"? fed. leavlrtC me face to ftu-e ua eua, the .ii.cnue.1 ' sheouly paused a momvnt to press a kiss u.-on my hand; then he slipped through a pap in the wall and was one.

Hut reverses had come; her fa ther had fallen a victim to a dreadful vendetta, and she had finally Wen left a jicnniless orphan. I was deeply interested in her, but no one could give me the slightest clew as to w hither she habtled. Still I liad linpered about the places I used to see her. Was I in love with the little Corsican ln-auty? Her face would come liefore my men tal vision asleep or waking, brinpinp a sweet sensation I had never liefore experienced; and yet I tried to dismiss her front my mind. I sat smoking- for some, hours upon the deck of the Peiipnin. watching the yellow lights dancing in the romantic little city, and drinking in the fresh, sweet air of the night that stole up from the Mediterranean. It was about 11 o'clock when 1 stretched myself upon the cot which Muggins had placed upon the deck. 1 fell asleep soon after, ami dreamed of Muggins' ghost. It seemed that some strange pres ence came to me a woman, lieautiful beyond any dream; and just as 1 reached out to touch Is r .she vanished, leaving only a faint odor of some strange, sweet perfume. 1 awoke sud denly with that inexplicable sensation that sometimes tells us of the unseen presence of another. I sat up and looked alout me in vague liewilderment. The moon had risen out of the sea and was flooding the 'leek with its mellow radiance. As my mind grew e coiH'w,d I detected a subtle iierfuir.e on the night air, tire same that had come to me in my dream. Was it only the effect of my imagina tion? .No: there couid lo no mistake as to ih-; reality. Something white lay r.t m feet; I picked it up; it wasadel icat? pieive of lace embroidered linen, and exhaled the brealh of perfume that had liefore greeted my senses. While I stood lewildered at the amaz ing circumstance, I perceived a white form emergtf from the hatchway and move, forward, with a slow, gliding movement. I stood immovable, watching live fig ure as it came tow ard me. As it drew near, I ierceived that it was a girl, ami as the mooulieams fell on t.h pale face I recognize! it as lielonging to Volt Dorkts, tlie lit tile fruit seller. Her eyes were wide open, and staring vacantly aliead in a way iicculiar to the smium:bulist. She was a sleep walker! The thought came to me like a Hash. Yet, w hat could account for her presence alxiard the Penguin? Without attempting to answer the puzzling tpn-stion, I started toward the tigurc, but as I did so, the sound or somct h'HL' like, the dropping- of an oai in a boat came, from over the port. Then a moment later the dark figure of a woman the same I had seen makingt h nswmlt on thelittlcfi uit-sclhi slipped noisclcjssly over tlie rail. She pnused for a moment to glance alMiut the ship, then, with a cry of rage that might have m-oceeded from some wild ani mal in deadly comlxjt, she le;iM-d upon tlie uiwonsciouei girl, the blad" of a long knife glinting in tlie rays of th moon. Housed to action by the sight of thei murderous intruder, I leaped miokly forward, and. lieflore the knife descended to do its ik-adly work, I caught the liand that held it. Hut if I reckoned on an eray victory in sulMluing my adversary, I soon dis covered my mistake, for tlwe vvoinao. though aged to all npeai-anoes, peemed to possess the strength of the st-rt mgest man. and, finding herself foiled in her murderous attempt, sin- turned iimn Uie with the fierceness of a jwinther. C oming uiex-eetcd!y as the attack did. it caught mo off my gua.id, and before I realized my peril, tlie hand that held the knife w as wrenched from my grasp: then there was a swiff blow, a ki-cn pain in my shoulder as the blade, en tered: then a mist gathered In-fore my eyes, and I sank unconscious upon tlie deck. When my senses returned it was broad daylight, and I was lying on a cot in Muggins cabin, the ln'tui-t if id but tiotibled face of Veda lx-nding over me. It was alxuit a week lWore I was able to get ashore, and, though. I had a trained nurse from Hastia, Veda re fused to leave me entirely in the hands of another. Well, in t Ikeit week I hail learned to love the little Corsican lwauty with such an initeiisei dent'un that 1 could not loar the. thought, of s"iarat ion. Her lifoi had lieen. one of trials and misfortunes. The old hag who had twice sought the life of Yeihw was prevented from taking my life by the. timely ar rival of Muggins, who had come over to the. vessel in his boat just liefore day break to sice how I was faring. Find ing herself thwarted, she leapd into the bay, and was drowrneil before she tould lie. rescued by Muggins. She wais the last of the Hai aJodo fam ily, lietw-oon whom and the Dorlos a dreadful vendetta had existed, and it w as to escajie the vengeance of the oi l woman that Veda had stowed herself alMMird tlie Penguin, hoping to bo car ried to some foreign land, and thus es cajie the violence and death that con stantly threatened her. Veda and I were married, and n month later sailed for America, in the Penguin with my old friend Capt. Darke, who had returned and had the vessel repaired. Muggins was much elaited over the happy ending of my attempt to "lay" his gho--t, though lie always declared V had made a most, lucky failure, and instend of laying tlie ghst, I hrd my ?lf loen laved by it.

HOW TO CA..Vl WLLL An Expert KaplaJn. the Cutting I'p ol RnaiiU nl 1'owU. Many ladies have to carve for large families without any or very little ex perience, and a little advice from an ex ei t carver will not come amiss. I should lie borne in mind, first of all, that carving is ciuite an art. if done it. the right way. Many think if they cm joint or bird up in pieces that it is ::li that is required, but to caive neatly, artistically and economically, and place invitingly n the platter or ilish is quite another tiling. In the first place the carver should Ik seated high enough to carve comfort -ably and with celerity. The next thing, she should bo sure to have her platb r large enough to liold the ci.tiie j lnt or bird when it is carved, so that no oi tion of it falls on the table. No string or skewer should lie left in the ment or bird when brought to the table, unless it is a silver skewer, which is pcimi-;-sible. Much de-iends upon the wa in which the viand to le carved is placed on the platter. Large birds, such as turkeys, gi-esc. etc.. should have thir heads pla-od al nays to the left. Srialhir I -nls. a urtritlges, grouse, etc., which are usu ally placed across the platter, should have their heads on the fart her side. A saddle of mutton should be laced with the tail end to the left of the carver: a haunch of venison or mut ton. with the loin or backbone nearpst the carver; a leg of mutton or veal should lie placed with the thickest part up; a rib roast or sirloin roast should have the backbone at the right of the plat tor; the flesh side should lie up in a round of liecf. and irr a sirloin m efsteak the tenderloin should 1 next the car ver. A fillet of beef should have tin thick end at the right end of the plat ter, nnd a calf's head should lie placed with the face to the right. A roast pig's head should be placed to the 1. ft. nnd the thickest sidtf of a roast ham should lie on the farthest side of the platter. Now for the curving, nnd let the point lie a leg of mutton or lamb. Put the fork in the too. turn it toward you. and slice through to the lione. A saddle of mutton is always carved with the gra;n of the meat in long, thin slices, from each side of the back. It must be turned over to reach the tenderloin anil kidney fat. The leg and saddle of venison ar? carved in th e same wav. When the le?j and lo-n are served toge'her, the loin should lie carved first. Cut off the flank first of nil. nnd cut up in piei-es; then separate the ribs; and last eomo the legs. Tn carving a fowl it is always a good plan for the carver to first studv the "uncooked" fowl very carefully, in or der to get the hang of its limbs and points. When the carver finds a joint find cuts the gristle, the leg or winrr N free. Tt is not so easy to find the side or collar lmne, but that comes with prac tice. To carve roast chickens the leg i first removed, then the wing, from one side and then the leg and wing from the other side, separat in"- the joints. Then the breast is carved each side; next the wishbone comes off. Now setinrate the collar lione and shoulder blade, nnd the breast lione from th back, then the hack from the lodv: then follow the side Imnes, and the bird is completely dissected. The reader will bear in mind the fore going applies correctly to all classes of fowls and birds found in the markets. N. Y. Advertiser. TO PREVE.HT BILIOUSNESS. Americana Should Kat More (ireea Vege table, and Sala,!a Authorities on diet believe that it would be well for most of us who arc in health lo eat more green vegetables with our tueat and starchy foods titan we do at present, says the New. York Post. Indeed, some pa so far as to be lieve that the absence from our menus of plenty of green vegetables and salads accounts for the biliousness of the American iecple. The liost known of such plants are lettuce, beet-tops, dan delion, kale and spinach, but Mr. Col ville, botanist of the United States de partment of agriculture, funis that there are many other palatable anil healthful plants that, though rarcly used, might add a pleasant variety lo our list of available vegetables. One of these, "winter cress," or Harbarea proe cox, which is -cultivated from this city southward and is sold in large quanti ties in the Washington markets, J.-5 planted in late summer or early fall and needs very little cultivation. An other plant that liclongs to the spinach aiid beet family, though it is a -om-mon wei-d in fields and gardens in near ly every jKirt of the United States, i--"lamb's quarters," or Chenojiodiuni al bum. It is in many places commonly known either as pigweed or goose foot, but it. is not the true pigweed. The plant has a pale-bluish preen color, and is used when six or eight inches high is tender, juicy and pleasant to the taste. The teasing weed, the common garden "jiuslcy," or "purslane," when lioiled is also recommended as a most palatable green vegetable and can easily be had. In India, where it originated, the plant, has lieen used for hundreds of years. Jn Kurope it is used both asa ot herb and for salads. Not "Letting Anyth-na; Get Awnyt ' "As this appears to lie your first of fense," said the police magistrate, kind ly, "I am disjiosed to lie lenient and make the ponnltj- in your east -tnorely the. pay ment of the costs "Thank you, your honor," exclaimed the grateful citizen, producing a fat Iocketlook nnd extracting a roll of bills. "How much are the costs? I never was drunk before in my life, and I never will lie again. Your honor may lie sure you w ill never see me a second time in this courtroom. I " "Prisoner," interposed his honor, se verely, -with his eye on the roll of bills, "I was aliout to say when you inter rupted me that I am disposed to lie lenient in your case and to release you upon the payment of the costs, but I have a duty to perform to the public, and I feel that I am not at lil c i ty to carry out my personal inclinations in the discharge of a public duty.
