1 PAIiT III.
It was the firing that did tt They
should have said nothing: about It, but
when a., few thousand foreigners are
bursting with' joy over the fact that a
hli) under the British II aK had been
fired ut on the high sens, news travels
quickly: and when It came out that the
poarl-srcnllnifrrew hnd not been allow
ed Hppcss to their consul (there was no
consul within a few hundred miles ot
The llntry Enemy Armed
that lonely port) even the friendliest of
power has a right to ask questions.
The great heart of the British public
was beating furiously on account of the
performance of a notorious race horse,
and had not a throb to waste on distant
accidents; hut somewhere deep in the
hull of the ship of state there Is ma
chinery which more or less accurately
takes charge ot foreign affairs. That
machinery began to revolve, and who
. so pained and surprised as the power
that had captured the Haliotis? It ex
plained that colonial governors and far
away men-ofwar were difficult to con
trol, and promised that it would must
certainly make an exemnle both of the
governor and the vessel. As to the
crew reported to bo pressed Into mili
tary service In troplcdl climes it would
produce them as soon us possible, and
It would apologize If necessary. Now
no apologies were needed. When one
nation apologizes to another millions
of amateurs who have no earthly con
cern with the- difficulty hurl themselves
Into the strife and embarrass the train
ed specialist. It was requested that the
crew be found If they were still alive
they had been eight months beyond
knowledge and it was promised that
all would be forgotten.
The little governor of the little port
was pleased with himself. Seven-and-twenty
white men made a very com
pact force to throw away on a war that
'hod neither . beginning nor end a
JUngle-and-stockade fight that flicker
ed and smouldered through the wet hot
.years In the hills a hundred miles away,
and was the heritage of every wearied
official. He had, lie thought, deserved
Well of his country; and if only some
one would buy the unhappy Haliotis
moored in the harbor below his ve
randa his cup would be full. He looked
at the neatly silvered lamps that he
,had taken 'from her cabins, aiid thought
of much that might bo turned to ac
counts But his countrymen in that
moist climate had no spirit. They would
peer into the silent (mglne-room and
, shake their heads. Even the men-of-war.
would not tow her further ur the
mast, Where the governor believed that
she could be repaired. She was a bad
bitrglan; but her cabin carpets were
undeniably beautiful, and his wife ap
proved of her mirrors.
vThree hours later cables were burst
ing round him like shells, for, though
he knew It not, he was being offered as
ft sacrifice by the nether to the upper
millstone, and his superiors had no re
gard for his feelings. He was, said the
cables, an ass who had exceeded his
power, and failed to report on events,
lie would, therefore at this he oast
lilmsclf back In his hammock he
i would produce the crew of the Haliotis.
Ho would send for them, and If that
failed he would put his dignity on a
pony and fetch them himself. He had
'jio conceivable right to make pearl
poachers serve In any war. He would
bo held responsible.
Next morning the cables wished to
know whether he had found the crew
ot the Hnllotls. They were to be found
and freed and fed he Was to feed them
till Such lime as they could be sent to
the nearest English port in a man-of-vur.
If you abue a man long enough
111 grent words Dashed over the sea
beds things happen. The governor sent
.inland swiftly for his prisoners, who
were also soldiers, and never wan a
nilMtla regiment more anxious to reduce
its strength. No power short 'of death
could, make these mad men wear the
uniform of their service; they would
not Hunt except, with their fellows, and
It was for that reason tlv regiment had
not gone to war, but stayed In a stock
ade, reasoning with .the new troops.
The autumn campaign bad been a
'fiasco, but here' were tho Englishmen.
All the regiment marched back to
guard , them, and the hnlry enemy,
nrmcd with blowpipes, rejoiced In the
forest. Five of the qrew had died, but
there lined up on the governor's ver
anda two and twenty men marked
about the legs with the scars of leech
bites. Five of them wore fringes thnt
had or.ee been trousers, the others used
loin cloths of gray patterns; and they
etlstod. beautifully but simply, in the
governor's veranda, and when he came
nit they sang at him. If you have lost
seventy thousand pounds' worth of

clothes, and have lived In bondage for

come the happiest of created things
natural man.
The governor told the orew they were
evil, and they asked for food. When he
saw how they ate, and when he remem
bered that none of the pearl patrol
boats were expected for two months, he
sighed. But the crew of the Hallotts
lay down In the veranda and said thnt
they were pensioners on the governor's
bounty. A gray-bearded man, fat and
bald-headed, his one garment a green
and yellow loin cloth, saw the Haliotis
In the horbor and bellowed with Joy.
The men crowded to the veranda rail,
kicking aside the long cane chairs.
They pointed, gesticulated and argued
freely without shame. The militia reg
iment sat down In the governor's gar
den. The governor retired to his ham
mock. It was as easy to be killed lying
as standing, and his women squeaked
from the shuttered houne.
"She gold?" se.ld the gray-bearded
man, pointing to the HulloUa. lie was
Mr. Wardrop.
".' .
With Blow Pipes Rejoiced. .
"No good," said the governor, shak
ing his head. "No one come buy."
"He's taken my lamps, though," said
the skipper. He wore half a pair of
trousers and his eye wandered along
the veranda. The governor quailed.
There were cuddy campstools and the
skipper's writing table In plain sight.
"They've cleaned her out, o' course,"
said Mr. Wardrop. "They would."
"We'll go aboard and take an Inven
tory. See!" He waved his hands over
the harbor. "We live there now.
Sorry?"
The governor smiled a smile of re
lief. "He's glad of that," said one of the
crew, rellectlvely. "I don't wonder."
They Hocked down to the harbor front,
the militia regiment clattering behind,
and embarked themselves in what they
found It happened to be the governor's
boat. Then thoy disappeared over the
bulwarks of the Hnllotls and the gover
nor prayed that they might tlnd occu
pation Inside.
Mr. Wardrop's first bound took him
Into tho engine room, and when the
others were patting the well-remembered
decks they heard him giving (lod
thanks tluit things were as he had loft
them. The wrecked engines stood over
his head untouched; no Inexpert hand
had meddled with his shores; the steel
wedges of the storeroom were rusted
home; and best of all, the hundred and
sixty tons of good Australian coal In
the bunkers had not diminished.
"I don't understund it," said Mr. War
drop. "Any Malay knows the use o'
copper. They ought to have cut away
the pipes. And with Chinese Junks
coming here, too. It's a special Inter
position o' Providence."
"You think so?'.' suld the sklpper.from
above. "There's only been one thief
here, and he's cleaned her all out our
side."
Here the skipper spoke less than the
truth, for under the plunking of his
cabin, only to be reached by a chisel,
luy a little money which never drew
any Interest his sheet anchor to wind
ward. It was all in clean sovereigns
that pass current the world over and
might have amounted to more than a
hundred pounds.
"He's left me alone. Let's thank
God." repeated Mr. Wardrop.
"He's taken everything else look!"
The Haliotis, except as to her engine
room, hnd been systematically and
scientifically gutted from one end to
the other, and there was strong evi
dence that an unclean guard had
camped In the skipper's cabin to regu
late the plunder. She lacked 'glass,
plate; crockery, cutlery, mattresses,
cuddy carpets and chairs, all boats and
her copper ventilators. These things
: I 1 . i
111 One Garment a Green and Yellow
, l oin Cloth.
had been removed, with her sails, and
as much of the wire rigging as would
not imperil the safety of the masts.
"He must have sold those," said the
skipper, "The other things are In his
house, I suppose."
Every fitting that could be pried or
screwed out was gone. Port, star
board and masthead lights; teak grat
ings; sliding sashes of the deck house;
the captain's chest of drawers, with
charts and chart table; photographs,
brackets and looking glasses; cabin
doors; rubber cuddy mats; hatch irons;
half the funnel stays; cork fenders;
carpenter's grindstone and tool chest;
holystones, swabs, squeegees, all cabin
and pantry lamps; galley fittings en
bloc, flags and Hag locker; clocks, chro
nometers: the forward compass and the
ship's bell and belfry were among the
missing.
There were great scarred marks on
the deck planking, over which the cargo
derricks had been hauled. One must
have fallen by the way. for the bulwark
rails were smashed and bent and the
Iron sldtf plating bruised.
"It's the governor," said the skipper.
"He's been selling her on the Install
ment plan."
"Let's go up with spanners and shov
els and kill 'em all!" shouted the crew.
"Let's drown him and keep the wo
man!" "Then we'll be shot by that black-nd-tan
. regiment our regiment
What's the trouble ashore? They've
eampea our regiment on tne beach.
were cut on, ioat an. ; uo and
what they want" said Mr. Wardrop.
"You've the trousers." . " .
In his simple way the governor was
a strategist. He did not desire that the
crew of the Haliotis should come ashore
again, either singly or In detachments,
and he propsed to turn their steamer
Into a convict hulk. They would wait
he explained this from the quay to the
sklper In the barge and they would
continue to wait, till the man-of-war
came along, exactl" where they were.
If one of them set Ptot ashore, the en
tire regiment would open Are, and he
would not scruple to use the one
cannon of the town. Meantime food
would be sent dally In a boat under an
armed escort. The skipper, bare to
the waist, and rowing, could only grind
his teeth, and the governor, improved
the occasion, and revenged himself for
the bitter words In the cables by telling
what he thought of the morals and
manners of the crew. The barge re
turned to the Hnllotls In silence and the
skipper cllmbeil n board white on the
cheek bones and blue about the nostrils.
"I knew it," sold Mr. Wardrop, "and
they won't give r? good food either.
We shall have bai as morning, noon,
and night, an' a man can't work on
fruit. We know that."

RAILROAD NOTES.
The sale of the Little Rock and Mem
phis railroad was again postponed un
til Jan. 22.
John Todd, of Cleveland, was ap
pointed receiver of the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad. This
action is taken preparatory to the an
ticipated purchase of the road by the
reorganized Erie railroad.
Ex-Attorney General O'Connor, of
Wisconsin, one of the Incorporators of
the Duluth, West Superior and Chica
go railroad, says that th? road will be
an air line from Superior to Chicago
and that it Is an assured enterprise.
The route has been selected and a small
portion of the road built. It will con
nect with the Wisconsin Central at
Portage. Chicago and New York capi
tal is said to be back of the enterprise.
One of the Philadelphia directors of
the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Rail
way company, the reorganized Choctaw
Coal and Railway company, writes that
the line Is now being operated in its
entirety with gratifying results. The
connection between the Eastern and
Western divisions was only recently
completed, having been greatly de
layed by the weather. Tlv? road, as
completed, has about 225 miles of line,
and the limit of fixed charge bonds Is
$25,000 per mile.
Business along the Wisconsin Central
lines is in nn encouraging condition.
While the fall business has not given
the exceptional Increases over the cor
responding period of last year which
were noted In the midsummer, the gain
In gross receipts since June 1 Is about
15 tier cent, over the same time In the
year 1894. The revival of trade in that
section of the country Is progressing
slowly, although there Is not to be not
ed any abnormal Increase In the
amount of trade. Progress Is making
In the proposed plan of reorganization.
THE ELECTRIC LAMP.
Stories of Hotel .Men Who Manago to
Hove Lots of l-'un Out of It.
Prom the New York Tribune.
Several hotel men were standing In a
group in on uptown hotel, recently
chatting. The conversation turned
upon the eccentricities of guests. Tho
many odd ways In which different peo
ple handle electric lights came up, and
one hotel man said:
"Nearly every one now knows how
the Incandescent lamp Is operated, but
still we meet with some funny In
stances of Ignorance. Last week we
nearly had our hotel set on fire on
account of a piece ot stupidity on the
part of a guest. The building being
Hre-proof alone prevented a conflagra
tion. A woman came to the house who
was In the habit of sleeping with a dim
light in her room, and the electric
lamp bothered her. She either had to
let It burn brightly, or else turn it off
altogether. Finally she hit upon the
Idea of wrapping a towel around it.
Then she began to question whether
the towel would catch fire. Then she
adopted the happy expedient of wet
ting the towel. That was the worst
thing thnt she could do. Bhe soon
dropped asleep, and of course the towel
soon began to burn. A blazing piece
dropped on the curtains, and soon the
whole room was afire. She was badly
scared and, of course, the contents of
the room were ruined."
"That was odd," Bald another one of
the party, "but the strangest thing I
have heard of was the case of a farmer
who came Into St. Louis. He went to a
hotel where electric lamps were used.
He tiled for an hour to put It out, and
then sent for a call-boy. The guest ex
plained his dilemma, and the boy
promptly stepped up to the lamp and
turned the button. There was a mo
ment of silence, and then from the place
where the farmer stood there came a.
Hash and report, and a bullet burled
Itself In the wall, narrowly missing the
boy. Again and again the pistol was
heard until every chamber was empty.
Fortunately the boy escaped and the
police entered the room and placed the
farmer under arrest. The old fellow was
talking Incoherently, anu seemed mad
clear through. When he was Anally
quieted down he gave his reason for
shooting. He said that he had been
trying to put out a new-fangled sort of
a light and had not been able to do it.
Then he called a boy, who blew It out.
Just after the light went out he heard
a click, and knew that someone had
cocked a revolver. He at once thought
he was about to be murdered and
robbed, and did not wait, but began
shooting at once. When told of his
mistake he was much chagrined, and
apologized most humbly." (
ASKING TOO MUCH.
The Information the Guest Desired Was
Mot Included In the Terns.
From the Detroit Free-Press.
After getting washed I went down on
the veranda to have a little Interview
with the landlord of the mountain hotel,
to which I had been recommended.
"Any flsh around here?" was the
natural first question.
"Dunno." he replied, as he glanced to
ward the brook.
"Is the mountain In front accessible?"
"Mebbe she ar'."
"Do the people do much driving about
up here?" . .....
"Can't say."
"What is the altitude of your house
above the sea?"
"I never flggered."
"What did your thermometer register
last night?"
"Hain't got none." -
"Do you expect to have a full bouse
this season?" ,.
"Kinder expect."- . ..; i.
"How do your guests amuse them
selves?" ,
"Dunno." ' ' "' ' :':
I was determined to bring htm out of
his shell If It were possible, and after
an Interval I queried: v ' - -
"Do you get a dally mall up here?"
"I guess so," he gingerly replied.
"As the landlord of the' hotel you
ought to be posted on all these things,
hadn't you?"
He slowly fared around, took a long
look at me, and finally asked:
"Didn't you come, up here ' to re
cooperate?" "Yes. I did."
"Wall, I'm glvln' ye a straw bed,
meat and taters twice a day and as
good spring water aa ye'll find In the
Catskills. If ye want to recooperate go
ahead and recoop. if ye want to kick
and upset things , ye'd better paok up
and find a landlord who's wlllln' to
board you for la a, week and talk a
lung oft gratis " ,

HOW WOMANLIKE. '
Tboo Oisonss Their Friend, Dut Would'nt
Say an I'nklnd Thing About Her.
Prom the Chicago Post.
After they had kissed each other and
each had disposed of a bonbon to show
that they met on friendly terms the
blonde said :
"Bo Mamie Is man";d?"
"So I've heard," returned the bru
nette. "Nice girl," ventured the blonde.
"Oh, very," returned the brunette.
"I wouldn't say a word against her
for the world."
"Neither would I. How do you sup
pose she every grot him?"
"I'm sure I don't know. Do you?"
"No; I would give anything: to know."
"So would I. It certainly wasn't her
beauty."
"Oh, no."
"The Idea la absurd."
"I can't understand It at all. - They
say she was married first by a Justice
and afterward by a minister."
"I shouldn't wonder. Bhe naturally
wanted to make awfully sure of him."
"tf course. It Is the only way she
could keep htm. But I am glad she has
caught some one. Mamie Is a dear girl
and it would be cruel to eay anything
against her."
"Indeed It would. I wouldn't do It for
the world."
"Neither would I."
