I.
A dark-eyed girl wn stundlni: on the
Btnrboard side of a cutter rlRRcd smack.
Her pazc was llxed upon a umall blnck
object that danced on the choppy
waters a boat's length ahead. A young
seaman was stationed at the helm. Ho
was dividing his attention between the
girl and the black object.
"rieady?" raid he.
"Ay!"
She had bared her brown, rounded
arms to the elbows and adjusted her
red cap that held In check her unruly
hair, and she now bent over the bul
wark, her hand outBtretchrd In readi
ness to seize the Hoatlne thing' as the
cmack skurrled by.
"A black bottle," she cried, and the
next moment she had It in her grasp
and was holding it aloft, the water
dripping from her arm. "Look, Steevle!
I wonder If there's anything inside?"
"Stop a bit, Lottie; we'll soon see."
Stephen Armstrong llxed the tiller
and then sat down upon the deck at
Lottie's side. The splendor of the sun
set fell slantingly upon their eager
faces. The man looked at the bottle
and then at the girl.
"It's tightly corked," said he.
Then he held It up between his brlglit
eye and the golden light.
"It's a letter!" said Lottie, peering
over Armstrong's shoulder through the
glass. "Vhy don't you break it?"
He struck the bottle against the bul
wark and a slip of paper fell upon the
dock at their feet. At this moment an
edge of the tarpaulin that lay across
the bow was cautiously raised and a
red-bearded man fooked out at them
with drowsy eyes.
The girl picked up the crumpled slip
of paper, hurriedly unfolded It, and read
as follows:
"In another half-hour I shall be
drowned. Here I'm n-lyln", drove
ashore In a dense fog on the East Salt
win Sands, with a fresh breeze n-blow
lng from the southeast. She was drove
on to these sands at 4.30 a. m about
low water. The tide is rising now and
breaking over my craft, and I'm alone
aboard. The man what finds this docu
ment I solemnly make him my sole
heir. In the cupboard of the aft cabin
he'll find a pile of golden sovereigns.
For I'm an old miser God pardon me
and I've hoarded my thousands for
no earthly good. A Just punishment has
fallen upon me at last.
"Ben Tarbuck, Captain."
Armstrong stared at his sweetheart,
Lottie Sanderson, In blank amazement.
For a moment he was unable to utter
a word. At last he whispered:
"It's the phantom tug hush!" and ho
glanced toward the tarpaulin. "No
word to anyone and our fortune's
made."
He buttoned up the scrap of paper In
the breast pocket of his pilot coat, and
cast the broken bottle overboard. Then
he resumed his place at the helm, and
the smack went lumbering on Its tack
ing course toward the shore.
The man beneath the tarpaulin lay
emlngly sound asleep until the smack
neWed the entrance to Saltwln har
bor, when Armstrong shouted:
"Belay there, Redshaw! Harbor
lights!"
The night had nearly closed In.
II.
As soon as the smack had run Into
the small harbor and brought along
side the stone quay, Armstrong went
ashore with his girl, leaving Itedflhaw
aboard. They made their way through
.thijtown, and entering n. lane behind
ne uuuiieriiiK etuiu uuuca, jui'seuiiy
JJt of a cottage where a
'light sM;wed in the window as if to
welcome 'them.
"Lottie," said the seaman, "the War
ren farm's for sale. I was Just-a-thlnklng
what a snug home It'd be for
me and you."
"Ah, that was grandad's once," suld
the girl, "and now I come to think of It,
granny prophesied years ago that the
farm would be mine some day; and
she's a wonderful gift o' prophesying,
ain't she, Steevle?"
Lottie had slipped her hand carres
singly Into Steevle's arm, and now
talked of all the surprising things they
tvould accomplish If this dream of
ivealth were only realized.
Presently they reached the cottage
door, and Lottie, raising the latch, led
i the way Into a well-furnished kitchen,
n where a fire gave out a cheerful blaze.
I lAn old woman was crouching In an
nrmchalr beside the hearth. She turn
ed her blind eyes searchlngly toward
them. Lottie ran forwnrd, and bend
ing down greeted her tenderly.
As Armstrong took his seat at the
Ltable, where the girl made all haste to
flay supper, the young couple exchang-
ed ;
a glance and a nod.
'"Granny," the seaman began, "I've
brought you a bit o news strange
news what me and Lottie's Just picked
'up nt sea.
Granny Sanderson's face beenme ani
mated. She craned her neck toward
the speaker and said:
"Good news, I reckon! It's In the
Inp V your voice, Stephen, plain as
be. what ls't, my lad?"
Armstrong hastened to relate the In
cident of the black bottle, and then
he read the amazing document which
pad come to light.
The woman listened Intently, and
when ho had concluded sat silent for a
vhlle. At last she said.
"Who knows o' this?"

"Nobody," said Armstrong, " 'cept us
threo what are hero together."
"Nobody? Was you and Lottie alone
aboard?"
"Itedshaw was aboard, o' course. But
ho don't count," said Armstrong;
" 'sides, ha was nsleep, weren't he,
Lottie?"
Granny Sanderson shook her bend
shrewdly.
"There's them what sleeps with one
eye open," said she. "I knows 'em."
"What do you mean?" retorted Arm
strong. "My mate ar'n't ono o' that
sort! Whatever's put such a thought
Into your head?"
"Ah, my lad! 1'vo alius held as you
was too confiding. It's In your natur.
Now, lookee here! If you takes my ad
vice you'll not lose a minute putting
to sea. Why, bless me," said she, "it
wouldn't surprise me If Redshaw were
there aforo you. Mark mo!"
Stephen Armstrong had pushed away
his plate while Mrs. Sanderson still
spoke. He now rose hastily and Bald;
"I'm not nfeer'd. I've a mind to take
Redshaw alonger me tonight. Why not?
I'll need a hand, I'm thinking."
"Go alone," said Granny Sanderson.
"Leastways, don't you trust Redshaw
In this business, Steevle, If you hope to
steer back Into Saltwln harbor alive!"
Armstrong turned angrily away and
put his hand upon the latch. Lottie
sprang toward him.
"Let me come with you!" said she,
"No!" the woman interposed, rising
and taking a step gropingly toward
them. "I forbid It. You stay alonger
me." ,
Armstrong went out, enraged beyond
measure at the thought that his old
mate, with whom he had put to sea
almost dally, In fair weather and foul,
for ten years and more, should be sus
pected of treachery. He had always
put Implicit trust In Redshaw, though
he could not deny thnt the man had his
faults. He was given to drinking at
times more than was good for him, and
his mates were not always the men
Armstrong would have chosen. Still he
had never known Redshaw to act In a
way that he could call underhanded,
and he would not mistrust him now.
He had reached the edge of the sand
dune, where he could gain a clear view
of the moonlit sea. He cast a glance
toward the harbor.
"What!" the exclamation came like
a cry from his lips, and the next mo
ment ho was running In wild haste
toward the shore.
III.
Redshaw lingered aboard the smack
after Lottie Sanderson and Armstrong
had cone.
He sat on deck smoking his short
clay pipe and looking yearningly to
seaward. As soon as It was fairly dusk,
however, he began to bestir himself.
lighted a ship's lantern, and collected
together a few articles needful for a
short sea trip. These articles he car
ried on board a skiff almost alongside.
Then he loosened the ropes, adjusted
the oars noiselessly and glided out of
the harbor Into the open sea. He now
hoisted sail and turned his boat's head
in the direction of Saltwln Sands.
The wind has freshened andhe skiff
rose and fell and ran forward over the
dark waters with increasing speed. At
first the clouds overhead were dense
and lowering, but scarce had Redshaw
got clear of the harbor when the night
showed signs of brightening, and the
curious moon occasionally looked down
upon the little craft out of black,
ragged clouds.
The gleam lit up Rcdshaw's face, re
vealing a look of Intense greed. Once
or twice the man glanced over his
shoulder like one who half dreads pur
suit; but his more frequent look was
directed to beaward with an untiring
search.
An hour two hours went by, when
a faint ray of light fell athwart the
water a short distance ahead.
At the same Instant Redshaw sprang
to his feet and peered eagerly over the
bow. Presently the boat's keel grated
upon a sandbank, bringing the skiff to
a gradual stop. The man found him
self in two feet of water, and with his
seaman's knowledge of the bearings
there was no reason to doubt that his
boat had ran upon the sandbank for
which he had designedly steered.
It was low tide, and the moment he
had made the skiff secure, he began to
wade through the surf toward the light
which now glimmered hard by. He
soon grew convinced that it came from
a ship's cabin. Suddenly he stopped.
"Walt a bit!"
He pulled a bowle knife from his
poeket.opened the dagger-shaped blade,
und clinched the handle between his
teeth. Then he stepped forward with
a look of purpose. The light soon
proved to be one that came from n
cabin window on the plrt side of an
old tugboat. Redshaw caught at a bit
of rope, and hauled himself hand over
hand up the boat's side until he could
peer Into the cabin.
A strungc sight met his glance. The
light of a swing lamp fell upon a small,
wrinkled man In a pilot cap.
He Mood In water up to his knees,
and ho laughed with a shivering sort
of laugh, and plunged his hands Into
the water and fished up handfuls of
sovereigns that glittered the more
through being wet. The old skipper
gloated over each handful, as he Hung
the coins with a clinking sound upon
a shelf In a cupboard, on a level with
his head.
Redshaw clung to the rope, taring
like one spell-bound at the weird figure.
Then he climbed noiselessly on deck,
and crept round to the cabin door.
Ho found It open. With fetealthy tread
he descended the ladder, the bowle
knife now behind his back, tightly
clutched in his right hand, a villainous
look in his eyes.
Hut of a sudden at the very moment
that Redshaw crouched down with In
tent to make his spring the grim old
mariner fixed his glittering eye fear
lessly upon him.
The man paused, once moro complete
ly nghast, deprived of all volition.
Ah! You've come, havo you come
to claim it my gold?" cried the skip
per as ho shivered and laughed again.
"No, no I bayn't dead yet, mnte. The
tide's been and turned, Just In the
nick o" time. It were a-washlng clean
over tho deck at nightfall, when I
sent that 'ere bottle adrljft, and I
thought as how I was a drowned man.
But it'H been running out ever since,
tho tide has, mate running out, till
It's give mo tho chance to touch my
gold touch it once morel"
Ho broke Into a wilder fit of shiver
ing laughter now, and .bending down,
plunged both hands into tho water. At
tho same lnstnnt Redshaw regained hla
will power and leaped forward. But
as ho lifted his knlfo with tho thought
to strike, a masterful grin woa put
upon his wriBt, and ho was thrown back
upon the ladder, crush'ed and stunned
by the fall.
When Redshaw recovered conscious
ness ho found himself lying in tho bow
of tho little skiff, Htlll at anchor upon
Saltwln Sands. A gray, foggy dawn
was breaking over a calm sea. He
raised himself upon his elbow nnd
looked around, A dismantled craft was
drifting brfore his eyes upon the flood
tide. Her stern was turned directly
toward him, and upon It ho read, paint
ed In large, white letters:
"PHANTOM TUG."
as It vanished Into 'the mist.
It was Armstrong who had saved
Ben Tarbuck from his mate's treacher
ous blow. Tho Phantom was subse
quently towed Into Saltwln Harbor.
But Tarbuck never fully recovered
from that night upon the sands; and
before Lottie had become Stephen Arm
strong's wife the skipper died, leaving
the bulk of his wealth to his preserver.
Redshaw never showed his faco In
side Saltwln harbor again; though,
had he acted honestly, he might pos
sibly have shared his mato's good luck;
but In his over-reaching after Tar
buck's gold, he had lost all.
PAST WAR SCARES.
Historic Instances Wherein UucU
Sam Doemed It Kxpedlent to I'ut
on Ills righting Hoots.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The United States as nn organized
government has been In existence 109
years only, but during that time It has
fought two forelcn wars, one war on
Its own soil and been subjected to a
number of war scares. With the wars
everybody Is familiar. Tho war scares,
however, are not so well known. They
began soon after tho government was
organized and have continued to occur
slnco with more or less frequency. The
first war scare was the result of the
French Revolution. The French gov
ernment formed on the fall of the
monarchy wished the sympathy and
support of the United States govern
mpnt and sent to this country as Its
minister tho well-known Genet. His
design was to form an offensive and
defensive alliance between France nnd
the United States nnd embroil this
country Into a war with all the ene
mies of the French republic. The en
thusiastic reception given Genet by the
people of this country, who were eager
to express their sympathy with a na
tion struggling for liberty, turned his
head nnd he Imagined that he could
oerr!de the government and take what
ever liberties he chose. He had prl
ateers fitted out In the ports of the
United "States and the British mer
chant vessels captured by these priva
teers were confiscated by French con
suls in this country, notwithstanding
the neutrality proclamation Issued by
this government. It was only the
firmness and decision of Washington,
whose demand for the recall of Genet
was promptly complied with that saved
the country from a war with England
at that time.
o
This is the best known war scare
this country has experienced, probably
because It was the first and one of
the most acute. There were two other
French war scares. The second one
arose from the delay France showed
In making compensation for the Ameri
can vessels seized in French ports dur
ing the time of the first Napoleon. The
controversy over these seizures dragged
along until near the close of the sec
ond presidential term of General Jack
son when he preemptorlly demanded
reparation. The two countries were
dangerously near to war on this occa
sion and diplomatic relations between
them were stopped for a time. But
England mediated nnd the war cloud
blew over. The interference of France
In Mexico during tho War for the Union
was a cause of great Irritation to this
country, but beyond protest nothing
was done until rebellion In the South
ern Btates ended. Then an emphatic
demand for the withdrawal of the
French was made and had It not been
complied with war would have result
ed. Louts Napoleon saw the need of
prompt action and quickly withdrew
the French army from Mexico and an
other war scaie was dls&lpated.
o
British war scares have been fre
quent, but with' the exception of the
War of 1S12 they have all ended with
out hostilities. One of the first of thes'e
was caused by the refusal of England
to surrender the Western forts as
ngreed when the Revolutionary War
ended. But this dlfllculty was settled
by the Jay treaty. England and (he
United States were very near to war In
1S07 when the British warship Leopard
fired upon nnd boarded the United
Stntes frigate Chesapeake. This
trouble was qulted by England disa
vowing the act and making reparation.
The settlement of the Oregon bound
ary line loomed up on the horizon for
n time as a probable cause of war but
the question was settled amicably In
1S4G. Great Britain's course during tho
war for the Union was the occasion for
much unfriendly feeling in this coun
try. The fitting out of tha Alabama,
and other privateers In English pjrts
gave rlbe to what weio known as the
Alabama claims which might hive
caused a conflict had not England paid
damages to the amount of firi.sno.000.
The Venezuela w.ir scare growing rtut
of Great Britain's claim to territory In
Rcuth America Is too recent to need
explanation.
Spanish war scares were numerous as
long as Spain held possession of any
port of the North Amerlenn continent.
Her hold on the mouth of the Mississip
pi river was a constant irritation to
the American ocopla until Loulslanua
an as sold to this country, and later her
possession of Florida and the disputes
us to its boundaries were a perennial
saurce of wars. For causing some
of these scares tho people of the coun
try nre not wholly free, for the South
wus not over-scrupulous alraut observ
ing Spanish rights. Since Spain's hold
on the continent was released Cuba has
been a fertile source of war fevers, in
lf51 the famous Ostend manifesto nd
vlslng th'o Pierce admlnlstartlon to buy
Cuba from Spain might easily havo led
to war. Tho Cuban rebellions have also
brought the United States and Spain
near to war. Some dHlcate questions
had to "be settled during tho Cuban Ip
Burrectlon beginning In 1SC8 and much
patience exercised tn prevent wnr. The
notorious Vlrglnlus affair in 1873 al
most precipitated a conillct.
