r. THE SCHAHTCW THIB VS E TUES DAT MOTIXT'NG, MATICIT 10, 1S90. Copyright, ItM, by Bacheller, Jobnton and Bohelln PART L Capt. Polaon sat In hl cnnifortalile parlor . xmlllng benignly UMin his daughter and Mister. His shi after an olisfiue of eighteen months was once more berthed In the small harbor of Sunset Buy and the captain was sitting In that state of Rnod-natured affability which invariably characterized his first uipenrunce after a lone absence. 'No news this end. I suppose," he In quired, after a lengthy recital of most extraordinarily uninteresting adven tures. ; "Not much," Haid his sister June, ' looking nervously ut her niece. "Young Met'-nlie has none into partnership Willi his father." "I don't want to hear about those sharks,", said the captain, waxing red, "tell me about honest men." "Joe Lewis has hail a month's Im prisonment for stealing fowls." said Miss l'olson. meekly. "Mrs. . Purton has had twins; dear little fellows they ii i e, fat ns butter. She bus named one of them l'olson after you the irreedy one." "Any deaths?" Inquired the captain, (tnupplshly, us he eyed the innocent lady suspiciously, "l'oor old Jasper Wheeler has gone." said bis sister; "he was very resigned. Ilr. borrowed enough money to get a Lis doctor from Loudon, und when he Iii-ui l that there was no hope for him be said he was just longing to go, and be was sorry he couldn't take ull his dear ones with him. Airy llewson is inuirieil to Jack Draper, and young .Metcalfe's banns go up for the third time next Sunday." "1 hope he gets a tartar," said the vindictive captain. "Who's the girl? 8ome silly little fool, 1 know. She ought to be warned." "1 .I..,.. I. ..II...... I.. I....,.l'.. ,.!.. In Mint.- I i wiiirtc ill ill I, "i n-i ma, in iiiiii - rluars." said bis daughter Chrlssle, shuklng her head sagely, "till." said the captain, staling, "you don't? Now you've put your hair up and taken to wearing long frocks, I suppose you're beginning to think in ii. 'Yen; .Auntie wants 'to tell you some thins." said the daughter, rising and crossing t he room. "No, I don't," said Miss l'olson hast ily. "You'd better do It." said Clnlssle, giving her u little push; "there's a dear. I'll go up and lock myself in my room." The face of the captain, whilst this conversation was passing, was a study In suppressed emotions. He was a linn udvocute for importing the manners of the quarterdeck Into private life, the only drawback being that he had to leave behldn him the language usual In that lucullty. To this omission he usually ascribed his failures. "Sit down, t'lirissle." he command ed; "sit down, Jane. Now, miss, what's till this about?" "I don't like to tell you," snld Chris sle, folding her bunds In her lap. "I know you'll be cross. You're so unrea sonable." . The captain stared frightfully. . "I'm going to be murrled," said Chrls sle, suddenly. "There! To Jack Met cafe there! So you'll have to lenrn to love, him. He's going to try and love you for my sake." To his sister's illsmo-y. the captain got up and, brandishing his lists, walked BRANDISHING JUS FISTS. violently to and fro. T!y these simple but unusual means decorum was pre served. "If you were only a boy," said the captain, when he had regained his seat, "I should know what to do with you." "If I wer a boy," said t'lirissle. who, 'having braced herself tip for the fray, meant to go through with it. "f shouldn't want to marry Jack. lon't be silly, father." "Jane," said the captain, In a voice which made the lndy uddressed start in Iit chair, "what do you mean by It?" "It isn't my fault." said Miss l'olson, feebly. "I told her how it would be. And it was so gradual. He admired my geraniums at first, and, of course, I was deceived. There are so many peo ple, who admire my geraniums, whether It is because the window has a south aspect " "Oh! said the captain, rudely; "that'll do, Jane. If he wasn't a lawyer, I'd go round and break his neck. Chrls sle is only nineteen, and she"ll come for a year's cruise with me. Perhaps the sea uir'll strengthen her head. We'll see who's master In this family." "I'm sure I don't want to lie master," said his daughter, taking a weapon of fine cambric out of her pocket, and get llng ready, for action. "I can't help lik ing people. Auntie likes him, too. lion't you auntie?" , "Yes." said Miss Poison, bravely. "'Very good." said the autocrat, promptly. "I'll take you both for a cruise" "Yon'i;e making me very unhappy," sold Chrlssie, burying her face in the handkerchief. ' "You'll be more unhappy before l!ve done with you." said the captain, grimly. "And while I think of it. I'll step around nnd stop those banns." Ills daughter caught him by the arm As be waps passing and laid her face on la. ww .WHITE, I Yuticura HANDS' i his sleeve. "You'll make me look so foolish." she wailed. i UlUlll IllUh.t fHll 1"! - come to sea with me," said her father. THin't cry all over my sleeve. I'm go ing to see a parron. liun upstairs and play with your dolls, and If you're a good . girl I'll bring you In some sweets." He put on Is hut. and. closing the front disir with u bung, went olT to the new rector to knock two years off the uge which Ills daughter kept for pur poses of matrimony. The rector grieved at such duplicity In one so young, met him more than half way, and he came out from him smiling placidly until his attention was attracted by a young man on the other side of the road who was regarding him with manifest awk wurdness. "Good evening. Captain Poison," he said, crossing; the road. "Oh." said the captain, stopping. "I wanted to speak to you. I suppose you wanted to marry iny daughter while I was out of the way to save trouble. Just the manly thing I should have expected of you. . I've stopped the banns, and I'm going to tuke her for a voyage with me. You'll have to look elsewhere, my lud." "The Ill-feeling Is nil on your side, captain." said Metculfe. reddening. "Ill-feeling?" snorted the captain; "you put me in the witness box and inude me a laughing stock in the place with your silly attempts at Jokes, lose me five hundred pounds and then try ami marry my daughter while I'm at sea. Ill-feeling be hanged." "That was business," said the other. "It was," said the captain, "and this Is business, too. Mind. I'll look after It, 1 promise you. 1 think I know who'll look silly this time. I'd sooner hw my girl In Heaven than married to a rascal of a lawyer." "You'd want good eyesight." retort ed Metcalfe, who wus becoming rutlted. "I don't want to bandy words with you." said the captain with dignity, ufter a long pause devoted to thinking of something worth bandying. "You think you're a clever fellow, but I know a cleverer. You're quite welcome to marry my daughter if you can." He turned on his heel and. refusing to ! listen to any further remarks, went on j his way rejoicing. Arrived home, he lit his piiie and, throwing himself Into : an armchair, related bis exploits. ' Chrlsse hud recourse to her handker- j chief n sal n. more for effect than use, but Miss Poison, who was a tender soul, took hers out and wept unre strainedly. At first the captain took It j well enough. It was a tribute to his: power, but when they took to sobbing j one against the other his temper rose, and he sternly commanded silence. j "I shall be like this every day at j sea." sobbed Chrlssle, vindictively, I only worse, making us all ridiculous." "Stop that noise directly," vociferat ed the captain. "We r o can't," sobbed Miss Poi son. "And we d don't want to." said Chrlssie. "It's all we can do,. and we're going to do it. You'd bi tter g go out und stop something else. You c can't stop us." The captain took the advice and went, and in the billiard room of the "George" heard some news which set him think ing, and which brought him back some what earlier than he had at Hist In tended. A small group at his gate broke up Into Its elements at his ap proach, and the cnntaln following his sister nnd daughter Into the room sat down and eyed them severely. "So you're going to run off to London to get married, are you, miss?" be said ferociously. "Well, we'll see. You don't go nut of my sight until we sail, nnd If I catch that pettifogging lawyer round at my gute again, I'll bleak ev ery bone In his body. Mind that." For the next three days the captain kept his daughter under observation and never allowed her to stir abroad ex cept in (his company. The evening of the third day, to his own great surprise, he snent at Oorcas. The company was not congenial, several of the ladies putting their work away and glaring frigidly at the intruder, und though they could see clearly that he was suffering greatly made no attempt to put him at his euse. He was very thoughtful nil the way home, and the next day took a partner Into the concern In the shape of Ills boatswain. "You understand. Tucker." be con cluded, as the haoless seaman stood In a cringing attitude before Chrlssle, "that you never let my daughter nut, of your sight. When she goes out you go wiin ner. ' "Yesslr," said Tucker, "and suppose she tells me to go home, what nm I to do then?" "You're a fool." said the captain, sharply. "It doesn't matter what sin says or docs: unless yon are in the same room you are never to be more' than ' three VHi'ilu feimi ! ' "Make it four, cap'n." said the boat swain, in a broken voice. "Three." snld the captain, "and mind, she's artful. , All girls are., and she'll try and give you the slip. I've had In formation given me us to what's going on. Whatever happens you are not to leave her." "I wish you'd get somebody else, sir." said Tucker, very respectfully. "There's a lot of chaps aboard lliat'd like the Job." "You're the only niiiii I can trust." said the captain, shortly. "When give you orders I know they'll be obeyed. Its your watch now." He went out hiiintiiiiig. Chrlssie took up n book and sal down, utterly Ignor ing the w'oe-begone figure which stood the regulation three yards from her, twisting its cap In lis hands. "I hope. Miss." said lue boatswain, after standing patiently for t hre, -quarters of an hour, "as 'ow you won't think I sought artwr thh 'ere little job." "No," said Ioly. without looking up. . .' ;"I'm just .obeying orders." continued the boatswain. "I always git let In for these 'ere little jobs, somehow. -The mon keys I've 'ad to look orter aboard ship would frighten you. There never was a monkey on the Monarch but what I was In charge of. That's what a man gets by being trustworthy." "Just so," said Chrlssie. putting down her book. "Well. I'm going Into the kitchen now. Come along, nursie." "'Kre, I say, miss," remonstrated Tucker, flushing. "I don't know how Susan will like your going to her kitchen." said Chris Hie, thoughtfully; "however, that's your business." The unfortunate seaman followed his fair chnrse Into the kitchen: and lean ing against the door-post doubled up like a limn rag before the terrible glance of its mistress. "Ho." said Susan, who took the state of affairs as an Insult to the sex in gen eral, "and what might you be want ing?" "Cap'n's orders," murmured Tucker feebly., - ' 4 - ( "I'm. captain here," said Susan, con fronting him with .her bare arms akimbo. "And credit It' does ' you," said the boatswain, looking admiringly round. Is It your wish, Mlsi Chrlssie, that l I this Image comes and ntnlk Into nu kitchen, as If the plac- belongs to him?", demanded the Irate .-"'loan. "I didn't meun to come In in that way." said the astonished Tucker. "I can't help being big." "I don't want him here," sn'd her mis tress. "What do you think 1 want him f .r?" "You hear that." salt! Susan, pointing to the door, "now go. 1 don't want peo ple to say that you come into this kitchen alter me." "I'm here by the cap'n's orders." snld Tin ker, faintly. "I don't want to be here. Far from It. As for people say ing that 1 came 'ere after you, them as knows me would laugh ut the idea." "If I had my way." said Susan in a hnrd. rasping voice, "I'd lox your eass for you. That's what I'd do to you. and you can go and tell the cap'n I said so. Spy!" This was the first verse of the first watch and there were many verses. To add to his discomfort, he was confined to the house, as his charge manifested .a-ao" "I'M CAPTAIN HKIiK."

In spite of everything, how ever, he stuck to his guns; und the In ilignunt Chrlssle, who wus in almost hourly communication with Metcalfe through the medium of her faithful handmulden, w as rapidly becoming des perate. To be continued. IMH STRIAI.. The Ntw York Wall Street Journal says thai, us far as can be learned, there are apt to be no more meetings of the sules agents of the anthracite coul companies. This will Involve ac tion by some higher power, and the be lief Indicates a direct supervision of the industry by the presidents or the com mittee appointed when the agreement was reached. It is estimated that 6.0UU.0O0 tons of coal are burned annually in New Eng land. . About fifty heirs of Hurkhard Moser have begun an ejectment suit against the Lehigh Coul and Navlgtlon com pany to reclaim about 800 acres of coal lands. The lands are located In Tama qua borough nnd In Kuhn township, Pa. The veins are being worked by the Coal und Navigation company, and art worth a large sum of money. Hazleton Standard: Surveyors of the Lehigh Valley company have for the past few weeks been busily en gaged making measurements for the mammoth breaker, engine and boiler houses at which the coul from the Lau rel Hill, Fast Sugarloaf and No. 3 col lieries will be prepared. The new breaker will be erected In the Bwanip about midway between the present Laurel Hill breaker and No. 3. It will be built of Iron, or as near fireproof us possible. Instead of sinking a slope, the method In vogue here since the In ception of mining, u shaft will be sunk, thus making hoisting more rapid and obviating the danger now encountered by broken cables, etc. The new break er will be fitted up with all the modern api i'aiiees for l l epaiing coul. and w ill in ull probability be illuminated by electricity. It will take at least a year to complete the work. NIW WAY TO Ti:.ST ttOAI., From 'the Philadelphia Stock holder. Profesyor Ktiliu Thomson, of the Gen eral Electric company, has discovered a new use for the X-rays, having employd I hem to lest the amount of ash In coul. lie was led to experiments In this illrec tlon by liiiillng that the lays pus easily throiiKh hyiiiii-ciirlion, while eurtlily sub stances are more or less opaque.! I'rofes sjr Thomson found that coul, even an thracite, when of good (pialll. v. and with Utile itsli, is easily penetratml by tin iay. Slaty layers in coal tire mole absorbent to tlie ruys, and if two pieces wf coul of equal thickness are tested, the one halving I lie more ash will be the morr opaque, and will Hive a darker image. Professor Thomson has suggested uiiiither way of testing the contents of a bin of coul, and that is hy Inking a few samples here uu.1 there, ii'din lng tlieiii to granules by crush ing and silting to obtain equal-slxc grains. These hiv then enclosed in cardboard boxes of entinl depth. After this the boxes containing equal depths or various vu.npies for comparison ure sulijieteil lo I Ik- rays, ami the samples showing the great eM transparency ure more free from ,, or earthy matters.
