For more than a week tho Penguin liail laid nt anchor in the little harbor at llnstia. She was a mall schooner, a weal her-ln-ateii, lullerly craft, with Iter yards splintered ami wiie of her mu.-'tss hrohen, yet she hxiked stronirly )icturesiie, Jitandiiifr with bare pvlts :iCT:iint the llamii. ,-ui.set sky, as I allowed iny little lioat to drift lefore the fent le breeze. Alsianl the craft there were no sip;ns of life visible, and I knew that Vupf friiis must Ih ashorv, filling himself with rum, as was his custom when ('apt. Darke was aKst nt. My old friend, tho captain, had Ix-en lM-atinif iUtout the Mediterranean with his liiblH-rly schooner for half a. score of years, and so he mtrht still have leen 'iisrajred, but for the arrival of a letter at llastia tellinp; him of a newly-inherited fortune left him bj- an uncle who luid ln-en living in Floren-e. ISiit upon receipt tf the frixnls new he was off at once, le.ivinp;his disabled schooner in oharjre of Mujrfrins, an old sailor who was more honest than sob v. As my loat drifteil alongside the IViiuin I jK'reeived a rojn trailing oer the jort side, and. makinp: my lit tle craft fast, I drew myself tipn deck. I looked about me, but 110 one was visible. It whs evident that. I was the only soul aloard the Penguin. 1 threw myself on a camp-stool in the shadow of the sail and fell to refraril insr the ranp f dark hills that rose back of the romantic little city. Pres ently I was interrpted hy the sou nil of oars, and a few moments Jater Miijr trins tawny head apjeared over the rail. He started when he saw me, and was about, to lx-at a hasty retreat when my votce stopped him. "Illess me. I thoup-ht you were n rhost. I did, by the owers!" he saitl, seeinin.ar well pleaiH-d that his fears had not been realized. "Well, now, what the deuce is there alniut me. Mup'rins, to make you think me a srhst ?" I asked. "Oh. it isn't tliat you look like a "rhnst, Mr. Raymond," he returned. :i oloo-et ictilly. "Rut, you see, when a cove is looking to s a phost. he's pret ty certain to take the first live tiling his eyes fall on tor what he's looking for." "Then you wer; c-Xfiectiii"; to see soniethintr of the su eriia t n ral kintl?'' "Thai's a fact, Mr. Raymond, though 'lain't often a cove is lielieved when he tells such :i stry. There's a trhost 011 this old hulk, or else I'm losino" my eye sight."' "And you really lielieve in such non sense?" "I believe what I sees, that's all." "What did you see?" "Well. sini you ask, tcll'iii"; you. You see, I don't mind Cajit. Darke went away and the crew wasdis cliarfrcd, the Peiisruin has been under my car', and I have been sleeping aboaitl Lite vessel ami spei.dinp; most of my time here. Iist- nitrht about two o'clock I woke, thinking 1 heard some thing moving- near me. I was sleeping in. my cot on the deck, and as 1 looks alMtut me I sees a woman, all in white, moinfr like a specter right by the hatchway. While I was watching, it seemed to sink into the deck ai.d d:s;i; M'ar. I'm not t.lie man t4 run from a single niiht-prow ler, but I f. lt iu i : like at this, and can't stv how a woiuui. could be on the Penpiiin. Thiiiktiig she might ha h scendi-tl the ctmp:;i;it;ri laililer. I goes dow 11 w ith a lantern, but f";rloitot hing. Tlwn I looks over llic s!.:p v. itii the sanw result. I .--Icpt n, nunc th.tt- night, am! thf.ugh I !wk ;tflcr the ship durn.g the day, I shau" sleep here again if I l.r.ov. myself, call it gluts t or what you will." With this he picked up a lantern and descended to his boat that lay along side. "Then I shall spend the night here ami lay your ghost for you,"-1 said. "You'll greatly oblige me if you will." lie returned, "though I'll le blowid iT I think you succeed. Cood cvenii.g. Mr. Raymond. I'll drop alongside eai ly in the lr.orning ami see how you have fared. There's the key to my cabin," he added, tossing the key upon the deck. "You'll find pies and plenty of toltacco, and a sip of rum in a decanter, if you look close. Now again good night to you." His oars dipped inio the water, and he w as gone. Dusk was t. I ready settling over the water. 1 took a seat ort he deck and lit : cigar, anil l.cgaii running over in my mind some of the events that had be fallen me since my arrival in Corsica. For more than three months 1 had Iweiv staying in the romantic little island, finding restful charm in its pjiet. . seclusion tliat was a pV-axing con trast to the life I had been sieiiding for the past two years, iu I he gay capital of the restless and plea. tire-loving French. One is not likely to extieot to meet with adveutures of the thrilling kind in the eaceful precincts of Past ia, yet Komethinir borderiner mon this Ii d come to my lot les than a-month le fore. For the amateur artist the quaint lit tle city will funs4i many subjects for the jH-ncil ami brush, ami I had made good my opportunities since my ar rival. The most prized among my collec tion was the portrait of Veda, the little ("orsican fruit-seller. There was some thing fascinating in her cry pose, ami tlie dark lieauty of her face -had draw n me to her as if by some subtle w itchery. One evening, as I was strolling through the bt.reets. I heard a cry of mortal terror come from the court of a ruined building where several poor families had taken their ainxle, ami en tering hastily I perceived an ngeil woman, withered hag. with uplifted knife, in the act of striking a gitl who was crouched in the corner of the wall. I struck the knife aside, and the would-lte murdcrs tied, leaving me face to face wiia letia, tlie inicuue.l victim. She only paused a moment to press a kiss upon my hand; then ishe slipped through a gap in the w all and w as gone. That w as the last I hail seen of her. To my Inquiries regarding her where aUmts'l received no information, ex cepting a bit of her past history which told me that she had lielonged to a wealthy and influential family, and at IS A FKKKMAN 'WHOM TBI THBTH HAtU FKEK ADD 1U AM ILATH BKSIDZ ' EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, JANUARY that she had received a linisucd educa tion. Put reverses had eoine; her fa ther had fallen a victim to a dreadful vendetta, and she had finally leen left a cnniles9 orphan. 1 was deeply interested in her, but 110 one could give me the slightest clew as to whither she handled. Still I luid lingered about the places I used to tee her. Was I in love with the little Corsican leauty? Her face would come lefore my men tal vision asleep or waking, bringing a sweet sensation I had never liefore experienced; and yet I tried to dismiss her from my mind. I sat smoking for some hours upon the deck of the Penguin, 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 Mnggina had placed upon the deck. I fell asleep soon after, ami dreamed of Muggins ghost. It seemed that some strange pres ence came to me a woman, lteautiful beyond any dream; and just as 1 reached out to touch 1m r tdio tanished. 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 alut me in vague liewildermenU The moon liail risen out of the sea and was flooding the deck with its mellow radiance. As my mind grew nv:e compot-d T detected a subtle perfume on the night air, tire same that had -ome to me in my dream. Was it only the effect of my imagina tion? No; there could lo no mistake as to itei reality. Something white lay at my feet; I picked it up; it was a del icate piece of lace embroidered linen, ami exhaled the brealh of erfume that had ix-foic greeted my senses. While i stood liewildered aA the amaz ing circumstance. I perceived a while form emerge from the hatchway and move, forward, with a slow, gliding movement. I stood immovable, watching tlw fig ure as it came toward me. As it drew near, I perceived that it was a girl, and as the mooiileains fell 011 1.1m pale face I recognized it as ldonging to Yedi Dorlos, 1-lie littile fruit seller. Her eyes were w ide ojx-n, and staring vncantly altcad in a way eculiar to the somnambulist. She was a sleep walker! The thought came to me like a Hash. Yet, w hat .could account for her presence alto.ml the Penguin? Without attempting to answer the puzzling question, I started toward the tigurc. but as I did so, the sound or something likei the dropping of an oai in a btutt came from over the port. Then a moment later the dark figure of a woman tht' same I had seenmakingth" ast-xudt on thelit.tlefi uit-seller sdiplK'd noijcle-4-ly over the rail. She pnused for a moment to glance aliout the sJiii. then, with a cry of rage that, might have m-oceeded from some wild aui- g null in deadly comlxit., she leaped iqioii tlie unconscious girl, the blad-t of a long knife glinting in tlve rays of the moon. Roused to action by the sight of thei murderous intruder, I leajwd quickly forward, and, lieflore the knife descended to do its deadly work, I caught the tuind that hehl it. Put if I reckoned on an easy victory in sulxluing my adversary, I soon dis covered my mistake, for tlve woman, though aged to all appearances, seemed to possess the strength of the st itinpest man. and. finding herself foiled in her murderous attempt, slw turned upon Uie with the fierce nous of a uinther. (timing unexpectedly as the attack did. it caught me off my gua.ul. and lefore I realized my peril, the hand tliat held the knife was wrenched from my grasp; then tliere was a swift blow, a keen pain in my shoulder as tlie blade, en tered; then a mist gathered before my eyes, and I sank unconscious upon tlie deck. When my senses returned it was broad daylight, and I was lying on a tot in Muggins cabin, the lieantiful bnf t lonhlcd face of Veda licmling over me. It was aliout a week lefore I whs able to get ashore, and, though I hail a trained nurse from Pastia, Veda re fused to leave me entirely in tlie hands of another. Well, in tlkat week I had learned to love tlie little Corsican beauty with Kiicih an mtcnsei devotion tliat I could not lear the. thought of separation. Her lifei had Wen. one of trial and misfortunes. The old hag w liohad twice sought the life of Veda was prevented from taking my life by the. timely ar rival of Miisnrins, w ho had come over to the. vessel in his Iwiat just before day break to see lwwv I was faring. Find ing herself thwarted, she leaped into the bay, and wa.s drowned Wfore she could lc rescued by Muggins. She w as t he. hurt of the Paialodo fam ily, letwieen whom and the Dorlos n dreadful vendetta had existed, and it was to escape the vengeance of the old woman that Veda had stowed hei-self alxtard the Penguin, hoping to bo car ried to some foreign land, and thus es cape tlu violence and death that con stantly thresitened her. Veda ami I were? married, and 1 month later sailed for America in the Penguin with my old friend Cj1. Parke, who hail returned "and had the vessel re-paired. Muggins was much elated over the happy ending of my attempt to "lay" his gho--t. though he always declared 1 had made a most. lucky failure, and instead of laying tin glkp5.

HOW An Expert TO CA.tVi: WtLL Explains tho Cutting l p ol Roatiui sod low l. Many ladies have to carve for large families without luiy or very little -x-iierienec, and a lit t U- advice from an ex eit carver will not come amiss. It should lie liorne In mind, first of a!!, that carving is quite au art, if done ii. the right way. Many 1 hint, if I luy cu; joint or bird up in pieces that it is ::l! that is required, but to caive neatly, artistically and economically, and plac invitingly on the platter or dish isqu'.tc another tiling. In the first place the carver should lie seated high enough to carve comfort -ably and with celerity. The next thing, sin' should be sure to hae her platter large enough to lwld the ei. tire j 'nl or bird when it is carved, so that no mji lion of it falls on the table. No string or skewer should lie left in the meat or bird when brought to the table, unless it is a silver skewer, which is permis sible. Much ilceniLs iqion the wa in which the viand to lie carved is placed on the platter. Large birds, such as turkeys. gesc. etc., should have thir heads pla-cd al ways lo the left. Smalhir I :rd- a artridges, grouse, etc., which are usu ally placed across the platter, should have their heads on the farther side. A saddle of mutton should be placed with the tail end to the left of the carver; a haunch of venison or mtit ton. with the loin or backbone nearest the carver; a leg of mutton ir veal should lie placed with the thickest part up; a rib roast or sirloin roast should have the Iwekbone at the right of the plat ter; the flesh side should be up in a round of lieef. and i rr a sirloin bt efsteak the tenderloin should lie next the car ter. A fillet of beef should have the thick end at the right end of the plat ter, and a calf's head should be placed with the face to the. right. A roast pig's head should b, placed to the 1'ff. and the thickest sidt? of a roast ham should lie on the farthest side of the platter. Now for the carving, and let the point be a leg of mutton or lamb. Put the fork in the ton, turn it toward you. ami slice through to the lmne. A saddle of mutton is always carved with the p-ra:ii of the meat in long, thin slices, from each side of I he back. It must be turned over to reach the tenderloin and kidney fat. The leg and saddle of venison ar carved in the same way. Whrn the Irg and loin are served toge'her, the loin should lie carved first. Cut off tin flank first of all. and cut up in pieces; then separate the ribs; and last como the legs. In carving a fowl it is always a good plan for the carver to first studv the "uncooked" fowl very ca.refiillv. in or der to get the hang of its limbs and jvoints. When the carver finds a joint fml cuts the gristle, the leg or w inrris free. It is not so easy to find the side or collar lione, but that comes with prac tice. To carve mast chickens the leg is first removed, then the wing, from one side and then the leg and wing from the other side, separating the joints. Then the breast is carved each side; next the wishbone comes off. Now seoarate the collar lione and shoulder blade, and the breast lione from the back, then the back from the lodv: then follow the side bones, and the bird is completely dissected. The reader will bear in mind the foregoing- applies correetlv to all classes nf fowls and birds found in the markets. N. Y. Advertiser. TO PREVENT BILIOUSNESS. Auit-rirmua Should Kal More t ; re-en VfRe- tables and Salads. Authorities on diet believe that it wouhl lie well for most of us who are in health to eat more grwn vegetables with our meat and starchy foods tlian we do at present, says the New. York Post. Indeed, some go so far as to be lieve that the absence from our menus of plenty of green vegetables and salads accounts, for the L-iliousnf-ss of the American ieeple. The liest known of such plants are lettuce, beet-tops, dan delion, kale ami spinach, but Mr. Col ville, botanist of the L'uited States de partment of agriculture, funis that there are many other palatable anil healthful plants that, though rarely used, might add a pleasant variety lo our list of available vegetables. One of these, "w inter cress," or Parbarea proe cox, which is cultivated from this city southward and is sold in large quia 11 ti ties in the Washington markets, is planted in late summer or early fall and neet.ls very little cultivation. An other plant that ln longs to the spinach and beet family, though it is a common-weed in fields and gardens in near ly every jwirt of the Pnited States, is "lamb's quarters, or Chenopodium al bum. It is in many places commonly known either as pigweed or goosefoot, but it is not the true pigweed. The plant has a pale-bluish green color, and is used when six or eight inches high is tender, juicy and pleasant to the taste.
