I recalled the limt miiik I hml lieuril ashore and the Kill who sunt; It. 1 thought of the let ters I hud t" write before wo made Hakodate, for ve were cruising In the Japan sen on this nlj;lit of .Tune, ISSfl. Theie w.'is no wxuiikc to trim sail to keep oneself nwnke. The breeze, though light, was steady, mid nt the foot of the main course, to whleh 1 had extended my walk, and now stood under for the delightful draught It east, was ni motionless as If the hnll-rope had been of metal. I suddenly felt that 1 was thirsty, and wandered down to the gunroom for a goblet or rum and llinejulee to give rel ish to my next pipe. "Hello, old man! Why have you turned out? Three bells have not struck' yet." The face that looked up to mine from the mess table was that of n beauty so refined, not masculine comeliness, but positively beauty, that no debut ante at a London drawing room, no ihattcr how lovely, could demur to an exchange. There was nothing ef feminate about the llgure. The shoul ders were square and muscular, and the neck showed unmistakable signs of strength. Arthur itescoby, though we called him .Miss Hescoby In the mess, was no girl boy, hut a young mini from the pleasant county of Kent, wlm was a good cricket nnd foot ball player, pulled a strong oar and gave ample promise of being a valuable ad dition to her majesty's navy. "I can't sleep, i'ailily (Paddy was my pet name). I don't know what It Is dial worries me so, but I feet wretched. ' - 'You're In love. (Jessie. That visit you made ti.

Itefore I concluded that remarkable Kile litM'obj-s blues had dbappeaiv.l, and when the nexi watch was mus tered he was all light again. He was a fin'orlte of mine, and, although he -poke to me freely on many things. 4,1 "" "as still an air nt icserve about him that made all prefect conlidemv Impossible.

"What Is It. Cog? Quick, reel If off. I'm sleepy." "A.v. ay. sir. It's about Jlr. 1U. . coby. Did be over talk to you about St. Klmo's light-.'" "Why. yes: he was curious to see It. Well, what of it'.'" "He's more than curious, sir. He's Mipeistltlous about it. He thinks it will have an effect upon his life." 'Nonsense, said . "Mr. Hescoby has been chatting you, (Jog." "No. sir," replied the hip tuurlii", earnestly, who loved the hnndsome young middy us if lie had been his son. I know you are his chum, sir, and that If I told you you'd talk him out of these Ideas. Hut please, sir. don't mention that 1 had unything to av about it." ''Certainly not. (log." and ns the mu rine saluted and walked forward I re membered that Arthur wns supersti tious, and had asked me many things alKju't ghosts and fairies and banshees and other uncanny things Indigenous to the Isle of Saints. Hut he had never mentioned St. Klmo's light, that pecu liar ball of electric light, which is occa sionally seen in the low latitude cling ing to the trucks and the ends of tli" yards. "I'll pump him about It today," I thought, nnd fell aMeep. That afternoon when I wns writing tip my Individual log, Hescoby came in to the gun room. I saw the same curl oust and worried expression on his face that I had observed the night before. "HcKsie, what the deuce Is the matte)' with you? Are you fretting because ou have not yet seen St. Klmo's light?" "Who has been telling you Hint yarn, j-umij. no answered iiuiPkly, with llusli of annoyance. "1 know. That bl donkey.

He sat down beside me, and. putting his arm on my shoulder, said, in a shameful sort of way: "My dear Paddy, I'll tell you nil. 1 am a slllv duffer, you know, and one week's shooting at Kagleslunn Manor settled me. I met there n country woman, of yours. I will not describe Nora to you. Hut here Is- her picture " "Humph!" 1 thought; "badly hit. In deed," ns be took a locket which lie woro from a silk cord around his neck opened It and laid It before me. It was the face of an exceedingly beautiful girl a roguish, laughing face, with olustei-H of brown curly hair nnd deep lituo eyes. It was well painted. The nrilst mm evidently deeply interested In his subject. "That Is Nora." ho said, nnd llie gentle lowering of the voice as he pro. nouneed the name of the lovely one told the whole story. "I congratulate' you up on your good taste. Hess. Am I to tie the best man? "Doul chaff me, Paddy." bo said. "Nora Is as poor as I run. but nhe loves me. She will wait for me. I am sure she will. Now some one had been tell ing her nil about St. Klmo's light, nnd I promised her Hint when I saw It I would go nloft nnd exnmlne It closely nnd mako sdentlilc observations and nil thut sort of thing." "And tho last words that Nora spoko to mo (wo were on the shores of Kngie Phani lako nnd she had kissed mo and caiieu mo ner own sailor and told me th.it uhe knew she nivor eould love any the FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, one half as well as a sailor) were 'Arte, don't forget St. Klmo's light. And, Arte, when you see that light Nora will be near you in spirt. And when you see It you sny, 'Nora, Nora, Nora,' three times, and wherever I am my souid will be close to you ut that moment, Arte. "Oh, Paddy, she Is as beautiful as an iingel, and I am sick with longing to see her again," and the poor lovesick lad buried his face In his hands. "Hy Jove, you've got It bud, Bessie," I satu. "I thought I was fond of the girl that saved my lite tit Limerick, bit my affection is but ns a tallow dip alongside St. Klmo's light compared to yours." "Don't chaff me any more, will you Paddy?" and the hapless lover looked pleadingly at me. "I will not, Hessy. I don't wonder that Norn fell In love with you; you nre too good looking for a man. And I promise you that if on my watch on ' deck 1 see St. Klmo's light I'll send Hog Thompson to pub you out by the heels." After this conversation 1 noticed a change for the better in Hescoby. He has lost his moodiness and gave sucn hot shots to his tormetitois, who used to chaff him for their digestion, that 1 think he felt relieved that he had told me his story, and I listened to the en tile tale of hi.-, meeting with and en gagement to the Irish benuty. I hoped that she had not been I'lrtlng with my chum, but even as he told the story of their love I was villain enough to conclude in my own mind that Nora was locking out for a rich husband, and was getting her hnnil in by practicing on Hescoby. There was such a straw berry and "renin flavor about the busi ness, a Paul and Virginia atmosphere, that I felt mv countrywoman was sim ply amusing herself with the yuscoptl ble young sailor and nothing more. Two days afterward we brought up In Hakodate. There were a few mer-ehnntmt.-n In Hie harbor and nn Kngllsh yacht. At mess that evening one of our fellowM who had been ashore gave us all the go.slp of the place. "That yach; W the Spray." he said, "and belongs te a rich Scotch lord, who has a large party on board. The con sul told me ail about them. UN :runt am! married sister nre chaperoning the girls. One Ik awful pretty, an Irish gill. She Is engaged to his lordship, and they are to be married at the mu lsh embassy at Hong Koiik. I suv. we must ftive them a dame. .l;wt think how Jo'ly!

"What's the owner's name?" 1 uked. "Lord fillirour. Jolly voumr chan, too. Has a grand "hooting and si-en; place somewhere near Ciltisgow.'- "I want to see jnu for a nilinit", Paddy.'' I looked aiound ami Itescoby was at my elbow. He was "transelv pale, and his eyes woie n wild and most unnat ural expression. "Paddy," he said. n he stood at one of the starboard ports, "t'e-re N otn thlngnwiully wrong. I know this l.rrd Hllmuur. It was at his bouse I stavid It was there I met Norn. ml he wiv attentive to her. I remember, but the did not ?o"in to care nbout him. nd now she Is on thN vat hting ciulse with him. And h Is engaged to some on on beard. Oh. P.uidy. 1 know there is -omeihlng w rong." "Nonsense, belay all that stuff." I said, cheerily. "If Nora Is on boaid, which Is not probable, there are other Irish girls In the world, and it does not follow that the Scotchman Is engaged to her." He shook his head, and as he walked away 1 felt Just ns sorely as If I had heard the story that his Nora was the lord's Jlunce, and that she had used him to bring her laggard to the propos ing point. Hescoby lost no time in confirming his suspicions. I met him on the bund, ashore, a few hours afterwards, and he told me that he had seen one of the yachtsmen, and got the whole story from him. The false Nora was soon to become Lady Olfmour, and she had thrown her midshipman lover completely over board. "I met her. Paddy," the poor fellow said, "and she smiled at me and shook hands, but It w;as as If i was a pleas ant acquaintance and nothing more. Lord (illmour was quite friendly, and spoke of the shooting and Invited me on board. I hnd only one chance to speak to her. and I whispered: 'Nora, have you forgotten'." nnd she laughed and said with an air of n woman of the world: 'You silly boy; I want you to forget all that nonsense.' Hut ft is nil over now. I win never see her again. Never, never." "Posh." said I. slapping him on the back, "you'll gel over all this, win that girl that saved my life in I.lnier.! ick, and who swore 1 was the only man she ever loved, was married a week afterwards to a wealthy tanner, nnd had the Impudence to send me one of her wedding cards." Hut all this well-meant consolation had no effect upon my friend, and I was glad when we got underway, and pointed for the Straits of Smwir, ti.. coby went about his duty in u' dull. mecnunicai sort or way, and even the fellows who used to persecute him most had respect for his dess)ndencv, nl- iiiougn mey Knew not the cause. He never mentioned the name of his false sweetheart again, and I avoided all reference to the subject. I was in 'he second hour of a del', clous sleep c ;.-w nights afterward! when soiuebod.v grasped mo violently by the arm and shook inc. "House up, sir; rouse up!" ctled Gog Thompson, hurriedly. "I think there is something wrong with Mr. Hescoby. Ho Is aloft on the mlzzen royal, and i sent one of tho boys after him and the boy cunip back and said that he was talking "to himself nnd mutteilng something about St. Klmn's light, and I am afraid sir. that ho is out of his mind." While I was hurriedly pulling on my trousers tho marine told me that that singular phenomenon had been been ilrsl on the main truck, and that an other ball of llro had rested for a mo met on tho end of tho nilzzeii roenl yardurm. Tho minute Mr. Hescoby saw this he rushed aluft and laid out mi tl o yurd. filled with apprehension I came on deck and started quickly up the weather rigging. There wns a ..e-ivy swell on and tho ship was rolling con siderably. I stopped at tho mlzzea ton muHt and sung out softly: "Hello, Iloscoby! I,ay down lioro Jtr a moment. I've got something to tell you." Ho did not roply, but kept talking to himself, so I beenn the nucent of l.v.e Sea B B I topgallant tinging. As the ship roll"d hcavllj to leewiiKl I saw his figure outlined against the dusk sky. nnd ' heard him say In a peculiarly dull but distinct monotone: "I novo found the light at last, Noia I have kept mv p-irt of the promise. Is your splrb near me new?" Again the big ship rolled to leeward nnd the end of the royal yard was lift ed up to tic clear patch of skv Hut there was no one there. Poor Hesci.by had either sprung or fallen overboard. 1 shouted to the qimrtormastor lo put the wheel bard down, ar.d ns the ship came shak'lni. In the wind I jumped t ' the topgallant baekHay nnd slid rapid ly to the deck. Th boat was at once lowered away and then another, but though we searched for mere than an hour and burned lights over a vast nre'i of water, we found no. trace of the hapless midshipman.

I never told the ftorv of this unfor tunate attachment, and I never nw the woman whose marriage I rend of In a Hong Kong paper who had made my poor friend the sport of a summer Vacation, and ruined a vot'tie- and promising life for her own gratification and for Hit winning of wealth and title. RAILS TItAVEL WITH TRAINS. Well Known Phenomenon Under Investigation by Engineers. I'rom the Alti.iiiy J'lei-s. The railroad men of Albanv are dis cussing at present the subject of creeping tails. They regard It as a curious fail about modem railroading, but so far there Is little knowledge ob tnlnablo about It. The matter is one which concerns practical road build ers quit,- as much as those Interested ionly in the theory of tin thing. It was up mi- iiiseiiKMoii at nit reeeui con vention of I he New Kngland Headmas ters' association and it is to lie brought up befori tlie Itoadmasters' Associa tion of Ann ilea ai Its meeting In Dcn vei I'd" mouth. i;ii(!::ec. Iiwin hud some comment to make upon the subject. "1 noticed a writer in the rceir issue of the Hallway Age who discussed the mal lei ai ronu length. It appears that It has not yei been determined whether llie movement of the rails Is with or against the direction of the heaviest travel, but there is no doubt that there Is a movement, sometimes of considerable amount. Well authenti cated Instances aie given of creeping In both dlteetioni and tome of them are quite remarkable. "Heferenee Is made to a rail on a pile trestle at Oalveston which trav elled nine feel per mouth. One on the St. I.ouls bridge is mentioned. The bridge has a rle of 5 feet In Its length of l..iii(i teet. ami the railroad tr.ieks require constant attention. In the lat ter pari of imc! the creeping on the east and west approaches averaped tiu feet per month on each side nnd on the. bridge structure It varied from eleven Inches to twelve feet, three In ches per month for the six mouths. The creeping of the extreme south rail was only two Inches more In .Inly than In December, while on the north rail the dlffeieiiee lctween the two months was twelve feet, -two Inches In favor of Julv. The direction of the movement wns with the track, but this does not account t'ur the fact that In the case of one track the outer rail and In the other the Inner rail does the most ere. uing." As to the geiieiiii direction of the tall movement, a-ide from specllle In stances, Assistant Chatham of tin. chief eni-ineei's otllce said: Heavy loads ! "ing constantly in one direction 1 e a tendency to dilve the rails In the opposite direction. The railway commissioners, of New South Wales, after making an Investigation, reported three cases. In one cne it was stated that the rails on a double tinek road travelled both together In the direc tion of the trullle; in another on a double road llie outer rail of the down line moved in the direction of the traf fic, while the rail near the way between the double tracks remained stationary; and in still another case, also on a double road, the rail nearest tho mid dle way moved more than the outer mil. but in the direction of the t rat He. "The committee of the New Kngland Itoaitmasters' association reported that it was a well known fact that rails move or creep In the direction trains run on the traek; on double track and on single track rails move in the direction of the heaviest tratfle. in fact, nbout the only safe deouetlon is to be drawn In the present state of knowledge is that rails do move." The reasons for the creeping of rails have not been determined nny more de flnlteb Hum the direction of the ardent movements. Inquiries among the en gineers and section men resulted In the gathering of many suppositions. in brief they come to these: That rails have In many plncer n de cided tendency to creep or travel along the track, owing to the wave motion, the unbalanced tralllc In one direction, the netlon of braked wheels, the con traction nnd expansion duo to the changes In the temperature. This creeping is more especially trouble some, tis n rule, on steep grades, on bridges, and on swamp roadbeds, but may develop at any place. Of the i canons given the uiidulatory movement of the rails given them by passing trains seems to be the princi pal one. In a perfectly rigid track there would bo no creeping, During the uiidulatory movement referred to the tracks are free to assume a new po.sillon In the direction of the greatest force, or In that of the least resistance, Tho momentum of the train inny cany the track along with it, result ing In n movement of the track In the direction of the heaviest tralllc. or It may be that tho freedom of tho rail during the uiidulatory movement permits' the operation of n stronger force than that set in operation by the train, and this stronger force, which might bo grnvlty or elasticity, might cause the track to move In an opposite direction. No satisfactory method hps yet been devised to pi event the creeping of trncks, other tlinn the use of heavier rails and tho general Improvement of tho tracks. Many years ago It wns customary to cut out a piece about an Inch sqtiaro from tho flange of tho rnlls, about one pair of rails in every six Indus so treated. The spikes which fastened tho mils to the sleepers, wero driven In these gaps, so that tho nails could not move without tnklng tho sleepers nnd ballast with them. A long list of broken rnlls, which were set down to the cut rails, soon bxl to tho abandonment of this practice. Later a srnil-tirctilnr hole wns cut with a milling tool, nnd every rail was anchored tluotigh a hole cut In the flange nt the Joint sleepers only, but this method, which wns stlguuttlred by Sir IlenJitmlu Hake as a "barbarous practice carried out only In Ireland," Is a treatment of svmptoms rather than of causes, open to the same objec tions. Models of limniltiis designed to overcome the dllllcultv are tn be seen In Knglnecr Irwin's olllce. but they do not strike at the source of nunoyaiice. Any Invention which conies to bo generally adopted bv rnUro-nls makes a fortune fot Its lonlrlvr. and thl.s fa"t applies to the creeping rail prob lem.

Tnylor Only Knew Three Words, But 'Xhey Acquitted His Client. From the New Y rk .Sun. When f'olormlo was organized as a tirrltory there was little Kngllsh used outside of Denver and the mining camps. The rest of the thinly scattered ct.untry was as Spanish as any part of our latest America. Not Castlllans, of cour&e, mote likely a general mix ture of Aztec ami Apache and a lot of oil. et strains nt blood, but certainly Sp.inlsh In name and speech. The gov ernment realized that It had a dllllctilt task before It In bringing these" greas ers" to understand the very beginning of the obligations nnd the duties of their American citizenship. One of the most trusted agents in this campaign ol education wns Judge Hallet, who was put In .charge of the iudlclal system of tho new ter ritory. From that time to this he has b;en at the head of the federal judi ciary In the great and prosperous state of Colorado. Despite his fierceness of lepuke and countless oddities of tem per no Judge has ever been so respected as he nlong the (treat Divide. When he first Went on circuit the bar left Denver with him and travelled In a body both for cm lability and safe ty. Then there was no railroad, Hip only means of reaching any place from any oilier being along n slightly mark ed trail barely passable for horses. Hy slow stages the bench ami the bar reached Trinidad under the cold shad ows of the Sangrc de t'llsto range. These Spanish names were an Inces sant annoyance to Judge Hallet. who declaimed each one In turn and an nounced his purpose of memorallzlng the secretary of the Interior to have them all made American. Of a piece with this was his attitude toward the prevailing Spanish speech of the coun try: he objected to It. Among the lltst rules of his court was that which provided thai nil transactions should 'jo in Kngh-,h, and that if litigants ob jected to tl-e -ork of the sworn In te.'ireter it wns their own lookout; It might encourage them to burn to talk "American" as they oughl. In Trinidad. Colonel Taylor of the Liar wns retained for the defence In n case where no defence was possible. The place was fu'l of witnotws wh had seen the deed done, win t ever it may have been, for that is unimport ant. The prosecuting attorney put on witness after ittr.cs.s to prove the facts. He made a perfect ease and he de manded that full punishment be In flicted. It was a difllettlt situation for Colonel Taylor. His client was guilty beyond a doubt; cross-examination of the wltrcsws could only make that fact moiv. distinct, and for that reason lie did nothing so foolish. The case was altogether Spanish. Criminal, wit nesses, audience, there were not six words of Knnllsh in the whole outfit. The Interpreter had been called on for every word which had none back and forth throughout the trial. Colonel Ta.v lor arose to make his plea. He sur veyed the cluster of dark faces which filled tho tlied In which the cottit wa sitting. "Caballetos," he began, "enballeros del jui ado" . There was a loud whacking of the gavel by Judge Hallett as soon as lie caught the sound of the language which he despised so heartily. "Mr. Taylor, Mr. Taylor." he shouted, "as a member of the bar of this court you musi be aware that all Its trans actions must be conducted In the Kng llMh l.tusjuago, the language of this country. If I thought that you were using Spanish maliciously 1 should punish you soundly for such contempt of this court. You will address this court of the 1'nlted States in 1'nlted States nnd in no other speech, language or dialect." "I bow to your Honor's ruling," con tinued Col. Tavior. and nsumed his il"ii. but In Kinrllsli nnd with the as sistant e of the Interpreter He told the grenstr jury how Hi sight of their proud 'u-tlhu'i lineaments hat' caused him lo firget a rule of the court and to addiess them in the sonorous speech of Spain, from which tlnlr proud fore fathers cnnie. H-. obejed the Judge, but he fell the restraint of hrfving to make his pleading through the assist nnce of the Inteipreter. It was a sim ple matter which he could set light in a few ftntenccs of thrp- owt language, but ho feared that In Knglls-h he could not do so well, yet he hoped tint thev would not see a fellow citizen punished solely for the reason that his advocate was not allowed to nddress a Spanish Jury in their own tongue. Harping on this theme he avoided any discussion of tho evidence which bore so heavily on his client, and in his petoration ho paid a glowing tribute to the language of Don (julxote and Queen Isabe'I'i This done, he lied from tho spot and was not seen until court had arisen for the Jny. When they next met the prosecuting attorney wanted to know why ho hud not been on hand to receive congratu lations on the acquittal of his client. "They set him free without a stain on his liuuacler and without leaving their mits, and it was ull duo to your Spanish. Why didn't you wait? You're the hem of the whole population." TRY GWN-0!
