' How Matches are Made.
A block of wood two feet long, and of
- thickness sufficient or the length of a
' match, 18 placed pon a little iron shelf
la one of these machines, not a great
deal more ponderous thaa a sewing mv
ohine. The shelf moves forward by little
Jumps, bringing the end of the block just
above a cutter composed of tiny circles
of steel, which takes off twelve splints at
each ascending stroke. . These splints
' then pass between the links of ft chain,
as it is called, composed of two pieces of
wood each the length of a common
clothespin, and of the same shape were it
open at both ends) placed together, their
convex sides towards each other. These
pieces are linked at either end in twos,
the pairs about au inch apart, forming
a continuous chain two hundred feet in
length. This chain passes through the
machine directly over the cuttor the
splints as they are separated from the
block, being reoeived between the two
sides of the clothespin links, .which are
grooved to suit them. The chain moves
just rapidly enough to take up the results
of each cutting as the knife performs its
work. Passing along a few feet, a little
hammer jumps up from the floor, and
strikes each link with force enough to
dislodge the imperfect splints, which are
but slightly held, and they drop upon
the floor. A few feet further on the chain
passes over a wheel, which revolves slow
ly in a tiny reservoir of melted brimRtone,
' the ends of the incipient matches getting
a bath as they pass. After this they
move forty or fifty feet further, until
quite dry, when, on their return course,
they are held down by a steol finger, and
made to just taste the liquid phosphorus,
which is taken up by a second wheel from
a reservoir similar to that whioh holds
the brimstone. They then finish their
journey of forty or fifty feet, by which
time they are quite dry. At the end of
the course the chain passes over a wheel
elevated above the cutting-machine, from
which it falls perpendicularly. As each
link reaches a tray made to receive them,
the matches, smoking and threatening to
ignite, are gently pushed from it by a
sliding piece of steel, which is thrust out
just often enough to dislodge each row
as it is brought along by the endless
chain. This, emptied of its contents, soon
the blocl, to receive another package of
its tiny freight within each ot its innu
merable links.
Eight of these machines (the writer has
reference to aparticularmanufactory) are
running constantly, making eight hun
dred gross of matches per day, a gross
numbering fourteen thousand, and chip-
Eing away in the course of a year six
undred thousand feet of pine lumber.
This lumber is thoroughly dried in a kiln
before being prepared for the machines.
Two hundred and fifty thousand feet of
basswood are annually made into ship
ping cases. Three hundred barrels of
brimstone and ninety thousand pounds
ot phosphorus are taken up yearly by

How to Cure Druiikeuues.
It is generally understood that young
persons when first employed as pastry
cooks are permitted to surfeit themselves
to their heart's content on pies and
sweetmeats, the result being that in a
very short time they become perfectly
(allousto the charms of the counter.
yie learn from a valuable littlo book re
cently published in London called " The
Home JN urse, that in the Austrian armv
a similar principle is adopted as a remedy
for drunkenness ; and medical reports
state that out of one hundred and thirty
nine cases one hundred and twenty-eight
cures of confirmed drunkards have been
effected. The plan is as follows :
The soldier taken in a state of intoxi
cation, or purposely inebriated, is con
fined to his room, where his diet is care
fully and amply supplied to him, accord
ing to his choice. For his drink he is
allowed brandy and water, in the pro-
portion of one-third brandy to two-thirds
water. All his food is prepared in a
weak solution ot brandy and water,
Coffee, with a small quantity of brandy,
is also allowed him. At first the treat
ment throws the patient into a constant
state ot intoxication, and he sleeps much,
At the end of three or four days he takes
dislike to his food and drink, and asks
for a change, which request, were it ac
ceded to, would entirely prevent the
completion ot the cure. On the contrary,
it must not be persevered in until the
patient can no longer swallow food or
drink, and even the smell revolts and
nauseates the stomach, when the cure
may be considered as effected. The short'
est time for the continuance of the treat
ment is seven days, the longest nine. In
order to prevent the congestion which
might ensue the patient must now be
given gentle emetics : that is, one grain
of emetic in a bottle of water ; a wine-
glassful to be taken every quarter of an
hour in the morning, fasting. That is
followed by forty grains of magnesia
daily, given in broth or gruel, placing
the patient at first on a low, light diet.
and then gradually increasing to his
original rations. If during the first part
of the treatment spitting of blood or
convulsions should result, it must not be
persevered in ; therefore this mode of
remedy cannot, on any pretence what
ever, be adopted but by a medical man.
In llussia, drunkenness is also treated
as a disease, and certain strong aromatic
preparations are used as a curative means.
As a temporary remedy to restore the un
fortunate victim to a state of sobriety,
give him from ten to twelve drops of
spirits of ammonia in a wine-glass of
water. This will be sumciont in a com
mon case ; but if the person is positively
drunk it may be necessary to give the
dose a second time, in which case it will
generally act as an emetic (an advant
age,) when a short sleep will ensue, and
the patient will awake restored. None
but a medical man may venture to apply
the ammona to the nostrils, as not only
injurious but fatal effects might ensue.

Parisian eggnri.
Among the curious stories told of Par
isian beggars is one concerning a blind
man really blind who is always to be
found near a certain gateway on the
Boulevard Sebastapol. A passer-by who
was in the habit of giving him a couple
of sous, one day dropped a double louis
in the fellow's hat by mistake. On dis
covering bis mistake, some time after,
he returned to reclaim his gold. The
blind, man bad gone, but a cripple in
the gateway directed him to the Hue du
Petit Carreau, where, he said, " Mon
sieur Benjamin " lived.
The inquirer went to the address in
dicated. A nicely-dressed servant came
to open it.
" Monsieur Benjamin in r"
" Yes, sir."
Our friend is shown into un elegant
ante-room, through which one could see
into a dining-room, where there was a
table admirably appointed with fine
white linen, crystal, and silver.
The maid came to say that Monsieur
Benjamin would be glad to see his visi
tor, and at the same instant she opened
the door of an apartment furnished in
the Turkish fashion, in which the blind
man was eeen seated on a divan.
' You wihed to speak to me," he
said.
" Yes, indeed, sir," replied our friend,
rather embarrassed. " I am very sorry
to trouble you, but the fact is I believe
I rather think that in passing along
the Boulevard Sebastapol this morning
I gave you by mistake two louis for two
sous."
The blind man said, with the utmost
coolness : ' ,
"That is quite possible I haven't
looked at the cash yet ; and if there is a
mistake, nothing is easier than to recti
fy it."
lie rang the bell, which was answered
by the maid.
" Ask Monsieur Ernest," he said, " if
in the receipts of this morning he has
found a piece of forty francs."
The piece was there : the maid fetch
ed it, and at the bidding of her master,
E resented it on a tray of Chinese lac to
is visitor. The visitor pounced upon
his coin, and without more ado, proceed
ed to take his leave.
"Pardon, sir," said the blind man;
" you forget something. There are two
sous to return to me."
The gentleman excused himself, paid
the two sous, and departed somewhat
astonished.
Fashions in Furs.
Fashions in furs are not subject to
many changes, and this year there are
very few alterations. Prices, too, are
comparatively moderate, owing part
ly to the decline in gold, as compared
with last year, and partly to the large
stock of skins which were collected last
year, and which are only now coming
into the market. The reduction in price
is especially noticeable in seal skins and
sables. The light shades of Hudsen
Bay Babies are now sold at $75 the set,
and seal skin sacques that cost $100 last
season; now sell for $80. Another fea
ture in the market is the rivalry between
light sable and mink. The latter, has
long been a standard fur, but ladies now
scarcely know how to choose between
the two, and very often their preference
is given to the light colored sable. The
very finest dark sable sets, especially
those of the rich Russian fur known as
" cjwwn " sable, are valued at as high as
$"5i' whereas good but light Hudson
Bay sables range from $70 to $125 the
set. The black martin, or Alaska sable,
is a beautiful black fur, very long and
soft, approaching the texture of sable
more nearly, the furriers say, than any
other fur. Some Amoriean ladies intro
duced it last season into this city from
Paris, and it promises to become very
fashionable. A handsome set of
ermine may be bought for $j0, and is
generally finished off with Angora tas
sels. For those persons, however, who
have not hundreds of dollars to spend
upon furs and sables, there is nothing
prettier, cheaper, or more durable than
Astrachans. A nice set of Astrachan
may be bought for $18. It is expected
that fur trimmings will be largely used
this season, on velvet and cloth, and for
this use the black martin is in greater
demand than far more valuable furs.
The furs most in demand by men are
seal-skin and otter-skin, the former
ranking first in their esteem. A seal
skin vest . may be bought for
but the price of a good seal-skin coat is
$100. X. Y. Ecening Pout.
The sacrilegious but not therefore less
necessary custom of digging bodies from
graves tor purposes ot dissection has
lately found an instance at Albany. Two
students of the Medical College dug up
two dead paupers from the County-house
burying-ground, and, whild driving off
with them, were pounced upon by vigi
lant officers of the law, taken before the
Jroper authorities, and immediately al
owed to go free, on the ground that they
were doing no wrong, since the law di
rects that the bodies of paupers which
are unclaimed by relatives or friends may
be used by medical colleges.
A mountain of beautiful block mar
ble ninety feet high, and three-fourths of

beauty, and susceptible of the finest

FARM ASP HOUSEHOLD.
Ths Cost of Fences. A writer in
the Illinois Agricultural Bewrt for 1870
says : Ths f encw of the United States
have cost mere than the houses, cities
included, more than the ships, boats,
and vessels of every description which
sail the ocean, lakes, and rivers, more
than our manufactories, of all shops
with their machinery, moro than any
other class of property aside from real
estate, except, it may be, the railroads
of the country." This may seem like
an exaggerated statement, but a littlo
estimate will show that it is not so ex
travagant as it would first appear.
The first cost of the fences of New
York State was nearly one hundred
and fifty million dollars. Robinson
gives it at $141,000,000. Assuming
this to be approximately correct, and
estimating the first cost of the fences of
other States on the same basis, we have,
as the whole country, the vast sum of
$1,206,000,000.
This requires to be renewed once in
ten years, giving $139,600,000 as the an
nual cost, to which should bo added,
however, at least half as much more for
repairs, making the aggregate of $194,
400,000 as the annual national expense
a sum, we believe, below the actual fig
ures, yet quite beyond comprehension.
ruicnoias iSiDnie estimated that the
" fence tax " of Pennsylvania was ten
million dollars a year. Gen. James T.
Worthington, of Ohio, says there are
18,000,000 acres of land in Ohio inclosed
with 45,000 miles of fences, at a prime
cost of $115,000,000, and at a yearly ex
pense for repairs, etc., of $7,685,000.
If roadside and boundary fences can
be dispensed with, half the cost of fenc
ing will be saved. The cost is now an
annual tax of $1.50 on every acre of
improved land in t'ae United States the
" fence tax " being twice or thrice as
great as the aggregate of the State and
local taxes combined.
Why cannot a large portion of this
outlay bo saved by. some profitable in
vestment V Every dollar rescued from
fences may be added to productive
wealth. Fences are dead capital ; they
pay no interest, and are a constant
drain upon the pocket. As Mr. Greeley
says : " We poison our land with fences,
they are a shelter for weeds, as well as
a vast and useless expense." The indi
rect waste which they inflict is almost
as great as their direct cost. A Virginia
zigzag fence occupies five acres for every
hundred inclosed, thus imposing a five
per cent, tax on the market value of the
soil a tax that would be felt to be op
pressive if it was for the payment of the
national debt instead of to shelter a
growth of weeds.
Shall wo fence our stock out or in ?
There is no doubt that our people now
expend four times as much money to
fence stock out as would be required to
fence it in. Our present custom, which
commands universal fencing, is the worst
blunder the practical American people
ever made. Enterprising and original
in many matters, there are here follow
ing slavishly, generation after genera
tion, the habit of the earliest English
colonies following it though very ex
pensive and inconvenient, because it is
" the good old way." Europe has learned
a more rational method. There are ten
times as many fences in Illinois as in
Germany, and Dutchess county, in Xew
York, has more than all France. In
France, Germany, and Holland, farmers
hold their lands in common, with only
narrow paths between.
The continental system of having few
or no fences is evidently the best ; and
even exclusive England is slowly adopt
ing it. America will inevitably follow,
for economy, taste, thorough tillage,
fair play, and good sense command it,
and the time will come when the ab
sence of farm fences will be a sign of
progressive culture.
The immense cost of sustaining fences,
the inconvenience of always having
them in the way of thorough tillage,
and of easy ingress and egress to the
premises; the impassable snow-drifts
accumulated by them ; the shelter they
afford to weeds and briers ; the protec
tion they afford to many of the worst
animal pests ot the tarm, and their un
sightly appearance generally through
out the country, as the receptacle of
stone heaps, piles ot brush and dead
trees, to say nothing of the countless
acres rendered worse than useless, by
their occupancy, would seem sufficient
reasons for disposing of fences wherever
not indispensable for purposes of pas
turing.
How to Load a Wagox. Some three
or four weeks ago the question was
asked through the columns of the Rural
New Yorker whether a wagon should be
loaded heavier on the hind than on the
front wheels. Your reply, though not
asserted to be conclusive, implied that
the load should be equally distributed.
I propose a scientific elucidation of the
subject, which will prove that the load
should be heavier on the hind wheels,
in the proportion of their diameter to
the diameter ot the front wheels.
A wheel is a lever, whose long arm,
theoretically, is the distance from the
grouud to the center of the axle; the
short arm is a pivot ; but, practically, it
is impossible to construct a lever of such
proportions. Hence, in calculating the
advantage of the lever, a wheel or a
lever, allowance must be made for the
size of the axle, and for friction depend
ent on size, other things being equal.
Without going into too elaborate a dis
cussion, it will be sufficient to say in
general terms that the power gained by
a wagon wheel is in proportion to its
semi-diameter, and hence that the load
on a wagon should be placed propor
tionally to the diameters of the front
and hind wheels.
Suppose the front wheels are four
feet, and the hind wheels five feet in di
ameter then five-ninths of the load
should rest on the hind wheels and four
ninths on the front wheels. T. 8. O. in

Wool Matteess. Thirty pounds of
wool makes a good, generous mattress.
It should be thoroughly washed and
carded before being put in the tick.
Buy a good quality of ticking, and in
ten or fifteen years you may find it de
sirable to rip it to pieces, wash the tick,
card the wool over again, and the whole
affair will be as good as new. You need
a mattress needle about eight inches
long. Nine yards of ticking (yard
wide) is a pattern for a mattress. But
it is well to measure the bedstead for
which you are making a tick, and have
it fit just right. Wool in mattresses
never wears out. X. Y. Tribune.

I
A FATEFUL CATASTROPHE.
A wild storm was raping upon the Medi
terranean Sen, near tho eloeo of a drenry No
vember day, nnd sky and voters were black
with the gloom of the sudden and furious
tempest, before which a small sailing vessel
was scudding under bare poles. Her build
and rlpging proclaimed her Sardinian. She
was The Hull, Captain Varino master, on her
way from Cngllarl to Palermo.
one had on board two seamen, ana two jms-
senders.
iueso passengers were fcusitsiinieii, wuo
had procured passage on The Uull to Palermo,
whence they Intended to embark by steamer
to Marseilles, the following day.
Whllo tho Captain and his assistants were
attending to their duties, and expressing ap
prehensions as to tueirsnicty, tne two ,njrnsn
men stood apart, leaning against the low bul
warks, and surveying the wild scene, around
them.
These men were both youne, apparently of
the same age, about three and twenty, but
evidently they were not of the same station in
lllo.
One, the more striking of the- two, was
aristocratic In his bearing, tall, slender, and
handsome, with a frank, smiling mouth, a pair
of fearless blue eyes, set under a wide and
massive forehead, and tawny hair blowing
back from his face. Noble, generous, and
kind-hearted, he bad an adventurous disposi
tion and a dauntless courage.
He was Guy Trcssilian, the only son aud
heir of Sir Arthur Trcssilian, Baronet, of Tree
silian Court, England.
His companion presented a remarkable re
semblance to him, being also tall and slender
and fair,with tawny hair nnd mustache, but be
bad not the frank smile, the bright, tearless
look or the joyous spirit that characterized
young Trcssilian. Young as he was, he had
seen much of the dark side of life, and his ex
periences had been such as to develop in him
some of tho worst qualities of his nature.
He was Jasper Lowder, Guy Trcssiliau's
hired travelling companion nnd bosom-lriend.
Tho mcetinjr and connection of the two had
a touch of romance. Younjr Trcssilian had
spent four years In a German nnivereity,
whence he had been graduated with honor.
On leaving the university, in obedience to his
father's written command, he had undertaken
a tour of tho countries inclosing the Mediter
ranean Sea, in company with one of bis late
tutors. This gentleman being unexpectedly
promoted to a professorship, abandoned Trcs
silian at Baden, leaving him to find another
travelling companion.
On the' evening of the very day after this
desertion, as Guy Trcssilian was sauntering
through the streets of Baden, he had been as
saulted by n trio of his own countrymen, all
more or less intoxicated. It was apparent
that they took him for another, and intended
to wreak vengeance upon him. Without al
lowing him to speak, they forced him to defend
himself. Guy was getting the worst of the
conflict, when a stranger came running to bis
assistance, and in a few moments the two had
put the ruffians to flight.
This stranger who came so opportunely to
Guy's assistance was Jasper Lowder. His re
semblance to young Tressilian awakened in
the latter a romantic interest. He questioned
Lowder. learned that he was poor aud alone in
the world, and took him with him to his hotel.
Believing that the similarity ot leatnres null
cated a similarity of tastes and natures, ho cu
gaged Lowder us his travelling companion.
and the past year they had spent together
more like brothers man like employer and
employed.
" This storm is n regular Levanter," said
Lowder. clinging with both hands to the bul-
walks. " Do you think the craft will stand it,
Tressilian ?"
"Oh, yes," answered young Tressilian,
wiping tho salt spray from his face. " The
captain knows tho Sicilian coast perfectly. In
three hours wo shall be domiciled in the best
rooms of the hotel Trinacria, with the best
supper which .Messrs. Kagusa can lurnish
And to-morrow, at noon," he added, "we shall
embark for Marseilles In a Messagcries steam
er."
And from Marseilles you will proceed to
r.ngland and to iresslliau Court, said Low
der, with some bitterness. " And 7 what Is
to become of me? 1 have had a year of un
alloyed happiness, and now comes back the
drudgery, tho hopeless toil, tho anxieties of
the wretched old llle. 1 ou picked mo up at
Baden, n poor adventurer seeking to gain a
living by teaching i-ngiisn, and the same ues
tiny is open to me now."
I ressuiun turned his handsome-liiec upon
his companion in surprise and allecllonate re
proach.
"Jasper!" ho exclaimed, "you talk strange
ly. Do you suppose 1 have called you friend

A sudden lurch of the little vessel, a wave
sweeping over me deck, interrupted the sen
tence. " You wrong my father," said Trcssilian, his
blue eyes kindling, when the vessel bad
righted. " He is the noblest man in the world
He will welcome my friends as his own. You
will lovo him, Jasper, as I do, when you know

"He doesn't seem very affectionate." re
marked Lowder. " You have been away from

Young Tressillan's cheeks flushed, as Low
der saw in tho lurid glow that momentarily
lighted up the tempestuous scene.
"You krow, or can guess, tho reason, Jas
per," he said, with somellilug of an effort,
" My father has a ward, the daughter of an

" Yes," assented Lowder. "Aud the ward

" No. I took It for granted that he is dead."

The wind for a moment drowned his voice.
As it Dresentlr lulled, he resumed recklesslv.
and with passioliate bitterness :
"For years my mother and I lived in those
I taffy, obscure lodgings until her bloom had
faded, and she bad grown tbin and wan and
nervous. My father visited us at stated sea
sons, once or twice a week, but be never
brought any of his family to call upon us. I
doubt if bis aristocratio relatives even suspect
ed the existence of the faded wife and son of
whom be was secretly ashamed. I have good
reason to believe that he had fino lodgings at
tne nest r.nu, wuere ue was supposea to oe a
bachelor, and that he went into fashionable
society, while my poor mother and I lived ob
scurely. Ho was a profligato and a roue, but
ne n a an air ot tasnion that awakened my
bnvlsh admiration, and aroused my mother s
affectionate pride in him. She was always
pleading to be introduced to his relatives, and
to have her son publicly acknowledged. But
my father always put her off, saying that he
was not yet ready. Worn ont and despairing,
my mother died when I was ten years old."
Airain the wind shrieked past, again the
littlo vessel lurched, the sea sweeping her
deck.
The captain screamed his orders to his men,
and for a few minutes disorder reigned.
"A nasty bit of weather!" said Lowder.
" And a bad sky!"
" Yes, but I've seen as bad," returned Tres
silian. " We shall make port all right, never
fear. We must be well on toward the Cape di
Gallo. And it's'only seven miles from the
Cape to Palermo."
" But the seven miles in this storm are worse
than seventy in good weather. These coasts
are dangerous, Trcssilian."
Lowder shuddered as he surveyed sea and

Tressilian, who had become deeply interested
in bis companion's story. "What did bo do
after your mother's death ?"
"I remained at the old lodgings with our
singlo old servant a month or more, my father
visiting me several times, and expressing anx
iety as to what be should do with me. A week
aftei my mother's death, he told mo that his
brother was dead. A month later, his father
was killed by being thrown trom bis horse
Mv father came into riches and honors h
these deaths. At last, deciding to rid himself
ot me, he took mo down to iingnton, to my
old grandmother, ller Bons were ocaa; sno
had given up keeping lodgers, and was grown
miserlv. He promised her five hundred pounds
a year to keep me, and to keep also tlio secret
ot my paternity, solemnly promising 10 ac
knowledge me some day as his son and heir.
Tho old woman agreed to carry.out his wishes.
Rhe wntiM hnrn ilnnA anvthlnff for monev. I
never saw my father again. 1 went to school,
grew up, and at the ago of twentv-onc came
into my grandmother's money, tfio fruits of
years ot saving, sue dying at tnat time. My
lather bad deliberately abandoned me. 1 did
not know where to seek him, if I had wished
to. I took mv money and came abroad. . 1
had been two vears on the Continent, and had
spent mv little fortune when I met you. The
rest vou Know.
"An odd, romantic story ! JJiit why iiidyour
father abandon vou?"
" That he micbt bo freed of encumbrance to
make a grand marriage. From what my
grandmother said at different times, I con
clude that mv father was in love with a titled
lady before my mother's death. No doubt he
married this lady. 11 be lives, tms lady's son
mar be his acknowledged heir. My father
has utterly disowned tne son oi nis nrst nasty
ill-starred marriage. I have a fancy that 1
shall meet him some day," and Jasper's brow
darkened to deeper blackness. " However, l
stand no chance of ever receiving justiceat his
hands."
"What is voui- fathers name, Jasper?"
asked Iressilian.
Lowdet 's face darkened. Ho bit his lips sav-
acelv.
"What I have told you about myself I
learned from my own observation, or from
chance words ot my parents and grandmother,
Mv mother s maiden name was Jeanette Low
der. At our London lodgings, iny father bore
tho name of Lowder. 1 don't know his real
name, but I should know his face anywhere.
although I have not seen him in thirteen
years. My mother was actually married
Tressilian, but I never heard my father')
name. The clergyman who married mv mother
was dead ; tho witnesses also. W'hen my
grandmother was dying she tried to tell mo
the story. Mie had put it on too long. All
that I could understand of her mumblings was
the name ot llevereux. 1 shall never lorgct
that name 'Devereix !' Probably that was
my lathers name mv own nglitlul name,
But as I should never lind him if I sought him
and as he would repulse me if 1 did fiud him
I stand no rbance of inheriting his property,
He may be dead. He may have other sons whe
have succeeded him. It is all a mystery, but
the prominent truth is that I am an outcast,
poor, disowned, and iriendiess.
Ho leaned over the bulwark, the spray dash
mg over his lace violuntly.
Tregjilian's heart warmed to hiui.
" My poor friend 1" ho aaid. " Must I say
again you are not friendless while I live? My
father 'has influence enough to obtain for you a
government appointment. This tangle may
straighten ttspll out some dar. lint it itdon t
you are resoluto enough to make your ow
happiness."
lie grasped Lowder's hand, and looked with
warm bright eyes, lull ol sympathy, into Low
der's lowering face.
There had been a temporary lull in the
storm. Hut as tho two stood there, the tern
pest revived and swept over tne wild set i
maddened rage.
There was no time for talking now. Tb
wind rose so high that words would scarcely
havo been distinguished. The storm that bad
gono before had been but play to this awful
outburst. The vessel drove on, creaking and
groaning, a mcro cockle shell on the billows,
"Mother of Mercies!" wailed the captain
" It's all up with us, signores. I can't mako
out the Cape in this darkness. We shall go on
the rocks. 1st. Antbonr save us !
The seamen echoed his cries.
The two young Englishmen, comprehending
their peril,claspod hands in silence.
For tho next few minutes it seemed that a
Pandemonium reigned.
Then a noise like the report of a cannon sud
denly boomed through the storm and tbo dark
ness. The little vessel shivered, staggered,
and careened upon her side,
She had struck upon a rock.
A moment later crew and passengers were
struggling iu tho waters.
A lew moments of buU'etings and tossings, of
vain struggles aud agonized, involuntary
prayer, and then Jasper Lowder felt his senses
slip from him, and became unconscious.
When he came to himself, be was lying upon
a rocky beach of the Sicilian shore, sore,
bruised, nnd weak as a child.
He opened his eyes. The wind had spent its
fury, and now moaned olonj tho coast with a
desolate, despairing wail. The waves beat
against the rocks.
Lowder struggled to his elbow.
"Wrecked!" ho muttered. "Oh, this is
terrible! I have lost my best friend to
night!" He moaned and wrung bis hands.
" Ho is dead, who would have done so much
for me, and 1 so worthless am saved 1 All my
hopes of an easy and luxurious life must be re
signed now 1"
At that moment be beheld a dark object at a
little distance in the water. The waves burled
this object against the projecting bead of a
sunken ri ck. At the same iustant Lowder re
cognized it as the body ot a man.
He crept toward it, and the waters dashed
tbo body on the shore at his feet. He put his
hands on the face. How cold and wet it was I
It felt like the face of a dead man ! Lowder'a
lingers came in contact with the soft, silken
moustache, and be knew that the body was
that of Guy Tressilian!
Of the five who bad stood on the sloop's deck
a hall-hour earlier, these two alone were left.
The captain and hia crew bad luund their
deaths among the cruel, yawning waters. -
Lowder thrust bis band under the waistcoat
ol His Iriend, out he eoald not 'perceive the
beating of bis heart. Despair took possession
Ul IIIUl.
"Deadl" he said, shrilly. "Dead I And
be would bave done so much for me if he bad
lived! And his father and the young girl be

It seemed to him that snm demon st his

A. 'Mow'D.'. came to nun mougut so
stmfie and sinister that he ffhi vpr"d involun
tarily. Again he felt Of Tressllina's heart. It
gave no throb ngainst his hand. He passed
bis band over Trcssilian s head and discovered
gaping wound in thn skull. Tho hair was
clotted with blood.
Putting his hand into his breast pocket.
Lowder drew out his littlo water-proof match
safe. lie opened it with trembling fingers and
struck a light. The red flicker danced on
young Tressillan's face.
. How gnantiy nnd lerriiuu it looked I t oo
eyes were Hosed, the smile was gone. The
seal of death seemed set on the noble features.
Lowder examined tbo wound. It had been
made by contact with the sharp rock, and even
Lowder perceived lis terrinie character.
"It lie is not ucao, ue soon will ue," no
muttered. " His brain has received an awful
injury, lie will never know who he is again.
He won't live till morning, nnd bo Is peruaps
dead already. He must be dead!"
Again It seemed to mm as tnoiign some de
mon echoed bis words. , .
Tho match dropped from his fingers Into
tho water. For a little while he crouched on
tho wet stones In silence, battling it may be
with the better and nobler Instincts of his na
ture. At last, with sudden and abrupt stealthl-
ness, his hands stole into the breast pocket of
Tressilian and drew out his privato note-boek,
a packet ol letters, a lew trinkets, lie secured
thoso among his own wet garments. Their
possession seemed to give him courage, nnd
his faco hardened, and he knelt beside the
body of his Iriend and rifled the garments ol
ail that they contained, bestowing bis plunder
on his own person.
Then bo took bis own purse, his note-book.
a few receipts and trifles from bis own pock
ets, aud put them in the pockets of Trcssilian.
" It Is done I" lie wnispercd to lilmseit, look
ing with wild delimit eyes through tbo dark
ness. "No ono is harmed. Ho is dead. If
he had lived, he would have provided for me
As be is dving or dead, 1 must provide for my
self. This likeness between us will make my
fortune. His triends will bo spared a terrible
grid, and I I shall live nt last ! Fortune
gives me a chance to gain nanio nnd wealth at,
one luckv stroke!"
As it to give bimscll no enance lor repent
ance, ho arose to his leet ami turned ins
searching glances in an inland direction. A
light, ns from a cottage window, glimmering
faintly through the thick haze, caught his gaze.
liaising Ins voice, be ealted louoiy :
"Helnl Ho. there! help!"
Tho wind had abated, and his cries rang out
through the night with startling distinctness.
The liL'ht he had seen moved and disappeared.
A minute later, answering cries leached Low
der's ears, and he heard hasty steps, and saw
tho approaching light ol a lantern, uorne nioit
bv n man s upraised arm.
"This wnvl" snouted Lowuer. -vco are
wrecked ou the rocks! For lite love of
Heaven, hasten!"
The bearer ol the lantern, attended ny a
male companion, came running to him, and
was soon at his Bide. The lautern bearer was
rough Sicilian llsherman, a grade above his
class. His companion was also Sicilian, but
evidently of somewhat higher degree. Both
were all excitement, astonishment, and sym
pathy. In as lew words as possible Lowder told the
story of the shipwreck, and called attention
to the condition of his noble young employer.
" I think be is dead !" he said, in a choking
voice. " Carry him up to your cabin. Let
cverythlns be done that ean "be done to save

The two fcieinans lilted the helpless lonii ol
