SYNOPSIS.
' Nathaniel Qulmby, a bachelor of 40, hav
ing unexpectedly come into a little money,
' fulfllls the desire of his life, and vialt the
vaaahore for the Hrt time. He kofk to
q'agicerl'i station, on the Xew Knsianil
t oast, and whllu there Ik Induced to buy a
barren neck ot land, Jutting out Into tho
' sea. A storm arising the next night, he
leaven the tavern, and spend the nlxht on
hU trip of land enjoying the war of the
cWinems. As dny breaks, ho observes a
wreck near the shore. He starts for the
vllluae to secure help, and on the way
nietts one llon-s Larkln, an ex-sallorniun,
whose ucquaintunce he had previously
made. . They return to the wreck, and dls-
' rover that It Is a water-lotii(d derelict, a
lumber schooner, l.arklii proposes that
Qulmby take possession of her, and se
cure sslvuse, and employ htm to conduct
the business on shares. Qulmby agrees.

The wreck. Imbedded In the furrow of
and Into which she hud plunged when
the storm drove her ashore, lay keeled
well over on the left Kill, or. as Moses
said: "She had a bad list to port." Hy
Ilia aid uf Ills valuable assistance, Na
thaniel nianiitred to c-llnib on board,
when he found the slant of the decks
very einburrussliiK to a man of his ro
tund habit, but by dint of much scram
lillutt ami putting he reached the hatch
way and looked down Into what seemed
to him a great tank, In which furni
ture and smaller objects were flnntlnir.
That was the cabin hatch: from It. into
the water, descended the c-onipanlon
stulr. and Moses squatted upon the
tipper st-p ho thut he could look Into
the dusky Interior.
"She must a ben fitted up kinder ele
pant fer a lumberman," was his first
comment. Then, after a few moments'
further inHoectlon. he added: "They
must a 'bandoned iter In a tearln' hurry;
looks like everything- most had been
left behind. Tell you what, cap'n;
.the fust an' for'mos' thing fer us to
do It to scuttle her an' pet some o' the
water nut : It's a heap eusler than
puinpln'."
After a trip to the village for his
Atool kit and some other things need
ful, the ex-seaman proceeded to carry
out his plan, so that presently a gnnilly
stream of water was rushing out of the
wounded aide of Molly It., of Hanfjor.
It was nearly nlRhlfull when this Job
was finally compelled, and by that time
the news of the wreck had spread In the
village, so that a crowd of leople came
streaming over the hill, full of fu
riosity, but they were confronted with
a sign which Moses had the forethoiiRht
to fix at the very entrance of the Neck.
It road:
"PRIVATE CROHN'S
Anybody found trespassln will be per
secuted by the law."
I'erhups If the originator of this very
explicit notice had not opportunely ap
peared to enforce It. the Xeok mlKht
hnve been overrun In spite of It, but
after a short and pointed Interview,
the disappointed visitors went away
grumbling.
"Look a here, cap'n. I'm goln' to
stny right here on the premises tonight
and set- that nobody don't steal a
inarch on us." was the announcement
with which Moses returned to Qulmby.
"Think It will be necessary?" hesi
tated the proprietor.
"I ain't takin' no chances. You never
found no longshoreman that thought
twas thlevln' to steal from a wreck, and
'twon't hurt nothin" to watch out. You
might find twenty men aboard In the
mornln'. all wlllin' to swear that they
found the Mollle B. an' clalmln' right
to salvage. O. I know 'em. Posses
sion Is nine p'ints o' law, and here I
stay."
Stay he did. The cabin was too damp,
even after the water had been emptied,
for anyone but an old sea dog to en
dure; but stretched In a hammock the
watcher held his post during the night
watches, the more comfortable as no
one came to disturb his repose till Na
thaniel appeared In the early morning,
and, after vast exertion, reached the
hatch and looked in.
Exploration revealed many things
which only extreme urgent haste would
Induce a sailor to leave behind. The
chronometer and Instruments were
gone, but charts and papers, for the
most part so soaked as to tie Illegible,

were left. From a fragment of pulpy
paper they managed to make out the
name of the firm who were the vessels

New York. There was the cabin clock,
a rusty and useless piece of flotsam.
Stranded In the far corner of the cabin,
Along with such other melancholy
relics as articles of clothing, boots that
had a beautiful verde antique incrus
tation where the luster of blackflsh
liead oil had been, a bottle of pickles
and another that had not contained
pickles; a sack out of which the dishes
had been flung, and many odds and
ends that once went to make up the
total of a marine's housekeeping out
fit. -
The lamp, which swung uninjured

from Its beam, was almost the only
thing In place In the cabin.
Qulmby picked up a flat package of
oilskin, thut looked as though it had
bfen prepared to be taken In the hasty
exodus, and then abandoned or .dropped
at the last moment. Fold after fold he
unwrapped, going to the light to ex
amine his find more carefully. Moses
did uot pay any attention to what
Nathaniel was doing, as lie was investi
gating the condition of certain cans and
bottles that had once' been the con
tents ot the captain's private store
chest.
Qulmby went out on deck and sat
above the hatch, bracing hid feet
against the coaming. He had got to
the very center of all that mummy-like
encasing of oilskin. The last cerement
had been removed from a woman's
picture. It was. thought Nathaniel, the
finest and most wonderful luce he had
ever seen. The eyes were cleur and
searching: the nose straight, the brow
broad and low, the mouth and chin
sweet and feminine, but determined;
aa though this were a wuinan who
knew her own mind and would have her
own will, but with such gentleness of
insistence that only a brute would wish
to thwart her.
At a hall from below the finder of
this paragon thrust the card Into his
inner pocket." Me meant to show It to
Moses sometime, but not gulte yet. He,
was not sure thut Moses would appre
ciate a fuce like that and possibly his
comments might rasp. After an hour
of work, during which time they talked
of many things but never of the por
trait, Nathaniel, finding himself once
more alone for a few moments, took ad
vantage of the npnortunlty to look ut
the face again, lie tried to guess her
age. Thirty or threabouts. on a ven
ture. Quick, put It away Moses 1ms
an unpleasant habit of interrupting
one at unseasonable moments.
Master and man for such were their
nominal relations to each other,
though actually they worked now as
companions and partners consulted,
planned and calculated till at last the
suilor. as having more experience in
such mutters, made a flying visit to
New York to see the agents und muke
what advantageous arrangements he
could for salvage. From Dunn & Dunn
he learned thut Henry Martllng. master
of the Molly H. of Uuiigor. had been her
sole owner; that unon the Insurance
lapsintf, owing to her being long over
due, the underwriters had asked such
un exorbitant and really prohibitory
premium to renew the policy that they
hud let It lapse. There was no doubt
that ('apt. Martllng hud been lost, as
the ship's boat was picked up by a
coaster several weeks after the Inst
tidings of the Molly had been received.
The firm was confident that Martllng
hail no family, aia they had known
hirn for twenty-five years. As for the
cargo, that was another matter. That
was consigned to Dunn & Dunn, and as
the chances of Its floating were good,
they hud succeeded In effecting a re
newal of the risk. Lately the under
writers had paid their claim.
As Mr. Dunn, the junior partner,
mnde his explanation, Moses turned
the matter over in his mind. Clearly
the cargo he must see the Insurance
people about. As for the hull, as there
were no heirs at present In sight; the
agents were the people to deal with.
Moses made an advantageous ar
rangement with the underwriters, who
were glad to get u chance for reim
bursement on any terms, and were in
clined to be liberal. Dunn & Dunn
sent an expert to inspect the wreck,
and he reported that the Molly was
strained throughout, butts Btarted
and timbers wrenched, and most of all
she was "hogged:" in other words,
her back was broken. She was not
worth more than the price of wood,
except for her copper fastenings and
bolts. Nathaniel, acting under Moses'
directions, made an offer, which was
accepted, and when all the bargaining
and transferring were finished, the
owner of Flack's Neck was the proud
and happy possessor of the useless and
empty hull of the Molly hi. of Hungor,
and a tidy sum In the savings bunk at
Mlddletown.
"Now," said Qulmby to his assistant,
when they were finally left alone and
there was no reminder of the excite
ment and rush of the past few weeks
but a few levels and ruts in the sand
where the lumber piles had lain above
the high water mark "Now, Moses,
we'll get her up on the knoll."
Moses looked at his employer with
wonder and a little alarm in his usual
ly stolid face". Was Qulmby going
crazy? He had said nothing when the
purchase of the hull was made, think
ing thut there was some ultimate pur
pose of breaking it up for the lumber;
the metal and timbers together might
prove a modestly advantaKeous invest
ment; but now that he talked of mov
ing ber up on the little ridge it did not
sound like the project of a sune man,
"What what you goln" to do with
her onto the ridge?" he at lust man
aged to stammer.
The other turned his tranquil eyes
uMn bltn with au expression of su
perior wisdom.
"I'm going to anchor her there for all
time. I'm going to cut a door and
windows in her and plant vines and
things around her and make the bulll
est house of her that there is this Bide
of York, and then I'm going to live in
her."
Moses sat very silent for a few min
utes while the mammoth Idea gradual
ly soaked Into his Intelligence. Then
he rose and took off his battered old
hat to Qulmby.
"Cap'n, I thought mebby you wasn't
as smart as) some because yon dlilti't
'pear to knoAv a whole lot 'bout iiscntj
an' underwriters an' dereltcks an'
such: but yeu may call me a squid If
1 ever see afiyone with sech a head as
you've got oyto you. Look here, cap'n,
I ain't no gl4uch with tools, and 1 c'n
run up partitions an' cut windows and
doors an' seen without hlrlu' no car
penter." "Yes." assented Qulmby: "I was cal
culating that 'you would." After a
pause he added: "I was considering
how we were going to move her up.
"Windlass and rollers, an' a big gang
er men,"- promoted Moses. "It'll cost,
but 'twon't cost nigh as much as house
raisin' would. You got to spend money,
but if you spend it Judicious I d'no
but what you'll get off pretty cheap.
You make a sort o' holiday of It open
a kag o' beer and sort o' free lunch, an'
taln't goln' to cost but mighty little,
come to think." i,
The day of the movlnW was appoint
ed, and the arrangements were com
pleted with many a whe suggestion
from the sailor. Then InNthe midst of
a scene of merriment, amid the strain
ing cables and creaking ; of capstan
bars and the crunching of i rollers, the
Molly B. of Bangor, began her last Voy
age. Nathaniel was on de K. the sole
passenger, feeling so elated that his
conscience reproved hlrn In an under
tone. Moses was everywhere; at the
winches, superintending the placing of
the rollers, leading off like s bull of
liashan In the "Yo heave! o-o-tf," with
out which nothing would havAmoved.
He drove the spigot in a fre-ih keg,
made a Hying visit to the pit wnWe the
host of the Taggert Jiouse presided
over the ciam bake, and was bartk en
couraging with hand and volet the
lads that hung to the guy ropesV that
kept the hull from lying too much, on
her bilge.
When, after hours of toll tNat
seemed like play to the lustv workers.
the Molly finally Tested on the knoty.
where ber broken bowsprit Just
cleared the gnarled tree and the last
timber chock wus placed to hold her
on even keel in the cradle thut they
built under her. the commander, who
hud paced her deck through all this ad
venturous and unprecedented voyage,
came down and made a little speech ut
thanks and welcome to his neighbors,
at which they cheered him till they had
exhausted what little breath their la
bor hud left them: At that juncture
Moses broached another keg and the
Innkeeper, steaming and red-faced
from his ministrations at the chowder
pit, announced that the savory feast
was ready.
Nathaniel was too happy to say
much; his excitement, though not ve
hemently expressed, was intense, so
that he had no appetite for the good
things that came streaming in layers
from the Innkeeper's podrida. He
beamed on everybody and shook hands
with Moses whenever they happened
to meet, and might have been observed
(had anyone had time to notice him)
turning frequently to gase with an air
of fond pride upon his new possession.
There were a number of women who
had found their way thither with
babies In arms, to observe the great do
ings at the Neck. But, after every
body else had arrived, and when the
festivities were nearly over, still an
other was to be seen coming over the
hill. She advanced serenely, without
haste, observing everything as she
came and seemed In no hurry to Join
the others who had congregated there,
but rather stayed in the background
till the company began to move home
ward. Then some ot the townspeople
noticed her in passing, and remarked
to each other that she was a stranger.
When they had all gone she walked
quietly to where Qulmby and Moses
were standing, engaged in mutual con
gratulation. "I beg your pardon. Is this Mr.
Qulmby?"
At the gentle, clear voice. Quimby
started and turned; then, us though
suddenly bereft of power of speech,
"I Beg Your ParJoit.IsThls Mr. Qulmby?"
he Btared at his visitor In bewildered
silence, till Moses answered for him:
"Yes, ma'am, this here's Cap'n
Qulmby."
At this Quimby partly regained his
senses, and stammered, or gasped:
"Yes'm yes, ma'am I am, my name
Is Quimby. Can I do anything for
you?"
"Yes, Mr. Quimby" as she spoke she
pointed to the Molly H. "You can
move my vessel back where you got It.
You have no right to It. Dunn & Dunn
had no more business to sell it to you
than they would have to sell you my
trunk."
Qulmby plucked up heart to ask a
question: "Who are you, madam? I
bought the Molly all regular, as I un
derstood there was no relatives, and
If there were, they would settle with
Dunn & Dunn."
"Never mind about Dunn & Dunn.
There is a relative. I am Captain
Martllng's daughter."
Moses stared at his employer, Na
thaniel at their visitor. Neither seemed
able to think of anything further to
say. Miss Martllng proceeded: "I
shall expect the hull replaced as you
found it within a week. 1 am doing
this for the principle ot the thing. If
at the end of that time you have not
compiled. I shall Institute legal pro
ceedings." During this speech, which would have
been severely threatening from another,
her face never lost Its look of serenity
and her voice was muslcul and low. At
its end she bowed to Qulmby, who re
turned her salutation as though In a
dream, and walked sedately away.
Moses was the first to break the si
lence after she had gone. "That's the
rummest thing I ever see In my life.
Say, cap'n, what are you going to do,
move her back?"
"No," said Qulmby, slowly. "As a
matter of principle, I'm dashed If I do.
She looks as she was set In her ways.
Well. I'm set in my ways. too. I'm al
mighty sorry to have a quarrel with
that lady; but the Molly B. stays right
where she is."
"P'raps after all. It was bluff. How
d'we know she's the cap'n's darter?
She may be and she mayn't. She didn't
show no papers for It." So the servi
tor exploded. But the master patted
his breast pocket thoughtfully, and
said: "There Isn't any mistake. She Is
the captain's daughter. I've got the
papers for It."
(To be concluded.)
INDUSTRIAL.
Philadelphia Press: The facts In
reference to the anthracite coal trade
settlement have not yet been given
fully to the public, but there now
seems to be no reastui why they should
not be printed. The meeting was not
entirely harmonious, though it was
practically so. The Coxe Bros.' Inter
est was not satisfied with the V, per
cent, allotment of tonnage which It
received and refused to accept It. the
representative leaving the meeting be
fore adjournment. The other compa
nies then tacitly agreed to allow this
minor interest to take 4 1-10 per cent,
and to arrange In some way for the
over-production. The Reading com
pany objected to any curtailment of
Its 2014 per cent, by reason of this sup
plementary arrangement, und it was
Insisted thut Reading's tonnage should
be S0'i per cent, of any tonnage which
the concession to the Coxe Hros will
muke necessary. There Is also reuson
to believe that a further concession
of a substantial nature was made to
the Reuding. which will not Interfere
with the chief details of the settlement.
Huxleton Standard: Work at the
Laurel Hill breaker has been suspend
ed, and It Is officially announced thut
the breaker will be torn down, and re.
placed with a largo and commodious
structure, containing all the latest Im
proved machinery, more than doubling
its present capacity. If the present
Intentions of the company are carried
out. when completed it will make lau
rel Mill one of the largest and most
complete breakers In the region. The
coal at present prepared at No. 3. South
Hugarlouf and Laurel Hill, will - run
through the new breaker. This, of
course, will mean the closing up of the
two first named breakers, and to get
the output shipped from the one break
er will make It necessurv to sink an
intermediate shaft, as well as open up
several subterranean passageways. In
order to conveniently connect the pres
ent openings. The company estimate
by dumping the output of the three
collieries Into one breaker, many tons
can be saved over the old system. Just
when work on this Intended Improve
ment will commence has not as yet
been definitely decided upon.
President Roberts of the Pennsylva

company as a track hand more than 40
years ago. Now It is reported that he
will decline a re-election to the presi
dency at the annual meeting of the
stockholders, which will be held in
Philadelphia the seennd Monday In
March. Mr. Roberts has occupied his
present position for many years, but
It is said that he thinks that a decli

INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PER
MANENTLY CURED BY
STUART'S DYSPEP
SIA TABLETS.
New Discevery, Bat Not a Patent Mtdiciae.
Dr. Redwell relates an Interesting ac
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
experiment 1 finally bought a fifty
cent package ot Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost Immediately relief was
given and atter he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 und 12 pounds In
weight or solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet I consider them a most valuable
addition to any physician's line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or In any condition of the stom
ach with perfect safety, being harm
less and containing nothing but vege
table and fruit essences, pure pepsin
and Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges
tion, biliousness, constipation and all
derangements of the stomach however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuait Co.. of Marshall. Mich.,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per packuge.

Hazleton Sentinel: Chief Engineer
Charles Huber. of the Lehigh and
Wllkes-Barre Coal company, will com
mence a general survey of the Inside
and outside workings of the company
throughout the South Side. To ac
complish such an object a week will
have to be spent In both the Yorktown
and Beaver Brook mines, which com
municate with the workings of the Le
high and Wllkes-Barre north and east.
In connection with these two weeks us
many more will be utilized in the Au
deniied and Green Mountain slopes ob
taining an accurateoutline of the prop
erty. The surveying will be all done
at night between the hours of 6 p. m.
and 3 a. in. This Is an annual practice
ot the company and its practicability
for the company and miners cannot be
over-estimated.
The month Just ended was the most
terrible in the way of accidents, with
one exception, that the Seventh An
thracite mining district has experi
enced In the last decade. During
January there were ninety-two acci
dents In the section named. Sixteen of
the victims were killed outright, six
teen were seriously hurt, several so
badly that they can scarcely recover,
and sixty others received Injuries more
or less painful. Four met an Instunt
death by being struck by a billy that
fell from the top of the Luke Fidler
shaft, eleven of the victims were
crushed by falling rock and one died
from poisoning, the result of having
his toe cut by a piece uf coal.
The Carson colliery at Honey Brook
has been suspended since last Satur
day, owing to the plant receiving a
general mechanical overhauling, and
some new and modern devices being
arranged for the cleaning of coal. The
"most valuable and Important adjunct
in the way or machinery that the plant
Is receiving Is an improved slate pick
er, which is calculated to do the same
amount or work as a dozen boys and
men. When this Improvement Is com
plete another or corresponding impor
tance will be added, which will make
the washery one of the most produc
tive in the Hazleton region.
The Boston Delaware and Hudson
mine, near Plymouth, which has been
Idle for two months on account of a
squeeze, has resumed operations. No.
3. which was also Idle for the same
cuuse, will resume work in the five
foot vein as soon as the new Inside'
barn can be put"ln readiness for the
mules. The old barn was totally de
stroyed by the cave.'
The coal shipments over the Reading
railroad last week were 'Ml.uM tons,
un Increase of 46.021 tons over the same
week lost year. For the fiscal year to
date the shipments are 2,463,482 tons,
an Increase of 411.17 tons, as com
pared with the same period lust year.
It Is likely that Mineral Spring col
liery, of the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany, at Parsons, will resume work
In a short time. The clearing up pro
cess Is now going on. It Is said thut
a new breaker is to be erected at a
more convenient ptuce.
The Lehigh Valley Coal company has
commenced the erection ot general
supply houses at all of the collieries.
The buildings will be completed by
spring.

An txtraordlnar? Adventure on a South

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
"When we were coming un the
coast." said a recently returned Voy
ager from South America, "we had for
several days a dead calm, the sea lying
like a sheet of glasss under a broiling
sun. On one of these days as I was
pacing the deck I discovered what
looked to be a man standing on the
water. As we were quite out of sight
of land, the apparent spectacle seemed
to be inexplicable, but picking up a spy
glass and scanning the figure careful

pression was correct, and as the cap
tain and his officers were of the same
opinion it was immediately determined
upon to direct the ship's course toward
the mysterious figure.

certain distance wo could make out
thut the man wus standing on the seat
of a small boat', which was ueurlv
mien with water, and that all about
him in the wutcr wus an enormous
school of sharks.
"Orders were given to lower a boat
and when near enough to cast a light
rope over the bow or the beleaguered
craft and gently tow it with its upright
occupant back to the ship. This was
successfully accomplished, and It was
a sight never to be forgotten, when the
little convoy.-arrived the man still
standing Immovable as a statue, with
fixed gase like one who had been
struck dead while watching a terrible
horror!
"When he was pulled up to the ship
he sank to the deck in what seemed a
dead faint and it was hours before ho
was able to give any account of himself.
He was a Portuguese, I think, and said
that he had gone out In his boat to fish,
and having been without due rest for
several nights, bad fallen asleep, and
when he awoke It was to find himself
far from land, one one gone, his boat
halt filled with water, and all about
him sharks! He hud alwavs heard that
sharks would jump out out of the water
at a man in motion, but never at one
who remained perfectly still. But find
ing his position In the water cramped
and unbearable, he hud made a desper
ate move and planted himself upright
on the deck of the boat, hoping meun
while to think out a way or escape.
But the longer he remained standing
the more desperute grew his chances,
and for nearly three days, in the boil
ing sun. In hunger, sleeplessness, and in
momentary expectation of a horrible
death, he had stood until every muscle
In his body had grown tense and rigid
and he felt unable to signal for help,
should any help pass near. He had
considerably recovered by the time our
ship touched at her first port, where he
was put ashore, along with his boat,
which had been hauled on board solely
because of Its association with that
poor fellow's extraordinary adventure."

months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling had)
