BY MARY KYLK DALLAS. Marcells's birthday was approaching, and I desired to give her s present I grieved me to think that I could not af ford a costly one. I should bave been rejoiced to be able to offer Marcella dia monds, rubies or emeralds, but since tbis wss impossible, I did tbe best I could. A ring is slwsys an acceptable token of love or friendship, snd having spent an evening or so roaming the Bowery, I ventured into s shop in which the unre claimed pledges of a pawnbroker were displayed for sale, snd found amongst the jewelry a very nice amethyst ring of the right size, at the modest price of ten dollars. "Vorth double, so help me Simpson," said tbe young man behind the counter. Vorth double, or I'll eat my head." It was such a large bead that this was a very impressive offer ; and I knew that it really was s nice amethyst, and I hoped that it had never been stolen. Of course, Marcella would never know where I bought it, and poverty drives us to strange deeds. I bought the ring, took it home, polish ed it cp with an old uail brush and am monia, rubbed it with wash leather, and resolved to get a handsome box for it. I had barely time enough to do tbis and express the ring in season to reach my darling by the dawn of the anniver sary of the day on which she first ssw the light; for she had gone with her mother to visit an aunt In Boston, and tbe aunt was not favorable to my suit ; and even if I hsd had a holiday, which had not, I had no invitation to visit her. Tbe ring most be sent, and before six o'clock, snd I hurried in the direc tion of Broadway, toward the establish ment of a well known fashionable jeweler. I was acquainted with one of the clerks ; and the boxes there must be handsome if they would sell them. Young Doughty was at a counter and unemployed, and be exhibited some little boxes of satin lined Russian leather which were very handsome. "Give me your ring," he said, "and I'll fit it to one." I gave it to him and he went away. When he came back he had two boxes in his hand, and handed one of them to me, the other to an elegantly attired lady, who, after receiving it, pass ed to a carriage" which stood before tbe door. A footman in livery opened it, a coachman to match was upon the box. Mr. Glitter himself opened the door, Mr. Glow bowed in the background. "Xotice that lady, Parkin?" said my friend. "She's a very handsome woman," I re plied. 'Very well for a married lady of forty," said Doughty. "But I was taking what you might call a professional view of it. She is said to have finer diamons than any other woman in the country. They say there are a lot of duchesses and all that on the other rids that couldn't show their equals. Of course, she dont wear 'em on tbe street, bnt of an evening she blazes with them. Her husband is im mensely rich, but they say be hates to hand out ready cash, and now and then bnt there is Glitter coming this way, and he don't allow gossip that's a pretty amethyst of yours; she! like it. Ha! ha! bar And glad to escape, for I had not a moment to spare, I rushed out of the store and to tbe express office. I longed to look at my ring sgain, but Doughty bad pat it into such a workmanlike little parcel that I hated to undo it The clerk at the express cilice directed it, and I rejoiced to know it was on its way. Two days after I received a note from Mar cella. "Dcab Ciiaui.es: Your magnificent present took my breath away. Have yoo come into a fortune? I am utterly amazed. Tbe name on the box told me at once it was something very fine, but I never in my wildest dreams thought of anything so lovely," etc., etc Of coarse, I do not mean to give yon tbe whole of Marcella's love letter It was so kind of the dear girl, who had many handsome ornaments, to make such a fuss over tbis little amethyst ring. But it wss just like her. I carried tbe letter next my heart until I heard that she had returned home and I went to see her. When she entered the room, smiling and holding out ber bands to me, I for got everything but ber beauty, at first, but when we were seated on tbe sofa to gether she beld op her finger. Upon it she wore, firstly, the little pearl engage ment ring which I had given her, and above it shone the most magnificent dia mond I bad ever seen, as large as ber finger-nail and a perfect well of blazing light "Your diamond, Charles," said she. "My diamond," I repeated in a bewil dered way. "I suppose it is an heirloom or some thing of that sort," said Marcella ; I was never so overwhelmed. But do yon know, you bave won Annt Matilda by it Her own diamonds are very fine, but when she saw this she fairly screamed. She baa made op her mind that I may have yoo, and she is going to come down ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1891. and see yoo she came home with ns, yoa know." "Oh ! 'she came home with yoo," I re peated like a parrot "Now, don't look like that," said Mar cella. Auntie is very worldly, I know, but ber good opinion is of value to na. She influences mamma greatly, and yoa must smile. I repeated : "Oh ! I must smile" "Don't" gasped Marcella. "Don't look like that" But bow could I look otherwise than "like that" with the awful truth that bad flashed upon my mind burning it? I understood what that diamond blazing on Marcella's finger meant . Doughty had given me the wrong box. I bad Mrs. '8 diamond ; she had my poor little ten-dollar amethyst Just how many thousands I bad stolen I did not know. I was not experienced in gems. But I was certainly in for grand larceny, at tbe lowest computation. Doughty was a good fellow enough, but he would not be likely to remember that he gave me the box. I should be suspected of having exchanged the two purposely My only hope was to make a full confes sion instantly. Marcella was a dear, sweet reasonable girl. A word would be enough. "Marcella," I began, "I think I must appear somewhat confused I have some thing on my mind. I must tell yoa very mortifying" "Oh, how do you do, Mr. Tarkin?" said one of those peculiar voices that have won for American women the rep utation of a want of mellowness and softness of speech, which is by no means universally deserved. "How do you do? It is nice to see you again. Why didn't you run up to see us ? We are loveiy in autumn crimson maples and all that Yoa must be quite an admirer of nature, your tests is so good in other things. Gems, for instance. The color of that diamond is marvelous. Yoa have artist's eyes melancholy eyes." I bave no doubt they were melancholy enough at that moment. "I know a gentleman, quite an artist amateur, but could be professional. He cannot wear many ornaments, but he carries a little bag of unset jewels in his pocket, and when he wants to refresh himself be pours them into his palm and looks at them gloats over them. Really, I could not trust him alone in the room with Marcella's ring, it might make him dishonest." So spoke Marcella's aunt Xor did she leave us until I was obliged to take my departure. I could not make confession before ber. I resolved to write to Mar cella, , After all, it would be better. And wrote a dozen letters that night and tore them cp. The unlucky thirteenth, penitential to the last degree, I posted. I remember that my excitement was so great that I went out to do so witheut rov hat and was followed home as a suspic ious character by the policeman on our our street I bounced about in bed for hours that night, and slept the next morning in consequence. Out of breath and pallid, I arrived at oar establishment after hours next day. "There's been a person here inquiring for you," said Brings, the individual who noted our sins of tardiness and the con- sequentydeductions." "A gent in gray clothes. Said his name was Doughty, and he came about a ling. He said you'd understand." Understand ! I did, alas ! but too well. The blow had fallen. However, I could do nothing until Marcella returned the ring or bade me come and get it. I would not implicate ber by mentioning ber name. 'Bn'ggs," said I, "I don't want to see that man yet, nor for a day or two." "Owe him something, and don't wat to settle till salary time?" said Brigvs. I let it pass with a nod. "Ah !" said Briggs. "Well, as you are on the second floor, I can telt him you are home ill and that I don't know where yoa live. But it's a lot of trouble to take for nothing. Is it worth a couple dollars to you?" I put two silier dollars into his hand, and in an instant they clinked together in his pocket. Doughty called that evening, and the next morning, and the day after, and all while no answer came from Marcella. What did it mean ? I knew when my letter was returned from the dead-letter ottice, "ot found" written all over, as if it were an example in a copy-book. I bad addressed it to "Marcella Darling, New York," Mar cella's father being named Gillworthy, it is not astonishing that it did not reach its destination, especially without a number. My full explanation bad, perhaps, in terested some clerk in the portoffice de partment, but had not reached Marcella. Moreover, in the same mail was a letter from my betrothed herself. I am nearly wild," it be fan. "My dear Charles, what has happened? I have been terrified by your absence. I sent Brother Bob to Lighter & owls with note from me, and some ont told him yoa were iu at nome ana ttey aion t know where yoa boarded. I do not either, but perhaps the postmsa does, so I put New York City upon it Bend to me at once. 1 am not supersttions, bat your diamond seems to be a little dim, and I shiver when I rememberlhe stories told of gems. "Why haven't yoa writts? Did auntie offend yoa? The wont of it is my trunks are packed for Europe, Aunty decided to take me the evening yoa were here. Oh ! how long it seems ! We shi.ll be gone three months, at least I can't change my mind now. A thought startles me perhaps your keait is changed ; perhaps yoa love me to longer. If so, yoa have but to tell me where to send your presents above yll, pur valu able ring. Your manner was lot your own when I saw yoa last. "Mawella." What had I done ? Fear of lsing my treasure overcame all other tho:ghts. I caught my hat and rushed to b?r dwell ing place. "Oh, my, Mr. rarkin. is it yoi? The family thought yoa must be dead," said the girl who opened the door for me ; "and Mim Marcella has gonevith her aunt to Europe, and master ant missis have gone to Chicago, and Matter Bob is at boarding school, and there iint no body home but cook and me, except Hanner, and she's got a bolihy, and we're real lonesome and scary 1.JL So wss I. I staggered down the steps with my hand to my forehead, and through the open window heard tbe waitress Inform cook that it was plain my heart was broken by Miss Marcella's cruelty. What should I do now ? I went as far as the corner, and ran into the arms of a man who was stalking along with bowed head and a general air of desperation. Involuntarily we clutched rach other. "Thank God, it is Parkin," said he. -Doughty ! ' said 1, but added no thanksgiving. "I've been looking for you for days about that ring," said he. "All right," said I, "but you remember yoa gave it to me ?" "I did," said Doughty, "but I want you to save me from dismissal by saying yoa picked it up yourself." "I did not," said I. "I have a chance for promotion and a capital salary ; I'll loe it if yoa won't say that" said Doughty. "Think of my wife ; it can't matter to yoa ; old Glitter has your ring safe ; you'll get it" "Hang the ring!" said I. "Think of my feelings! I wonder I'm not dead Yoa see, I gave it to ber, and she is in Europe, and " "Make a laugh of it" said Doughty, "Give her the other. Don't ruin me." "Doughty," said I, "I don't want to hurt yoa, though I suffer through your mistake. But well, 111 go to the heads of the firm at once and do my best for both of us, but I wont risk being ruined for any man." "Why, yoa are in no danger," said Doughty. 'Come, they are still in the office. Come on." He dragged me by the elbow ; he rap ped at the glass door. Within I could see the counters all covered in ghastly fashion by great cloths, a marble statue of an angel looking down upon the veil ed splendor, and a light burning in the partners' private room. Mr. Glitter came to the door. "It is I, sir," said Doughty, faintly. have found Mr. Parkin, sir. He will, I know, do me justice, sir." Mr. Glitter looked at him coldly. "In that case, all will be well," he said. Mr. Parkin, walk in. We have your amethyst ring safe, and a lovely stone it An old-fashioned stone, if I may say so, and not in the market to-day. We apologize to yoa ; we understand yoa in tended to send it away as a present ; we regret your mortification." "oa are very kind," said I. "I regret to say it will be some time before I can return tbe ring I carried away. It is now in England." "Let it stay there," said Mr. Glitter. And now, to explain how we came to have it in one of our boxes you'll be discreet Mrs. well, we'll mention no .inea a lady renowned for her jewels has a husband who is parsimonious. At times she needs ready money, then she brings one of her rings to us. We lend her money on it and give her a ring of no value whatever to keep in the box in case her husband inquires wants to see it etc In time she paya us ; we restore the diamond. The substitute was ex changed for your amethyst, and if it was Mr. Doughty's doing" "I carried it off myself," said I. "And what, pray, was the price of the substi tutethe" 'Plate and paste," said Mr. Glitter. "Half a dollar to tho trade. Theatrical people buy them to play queens in some times. i e have full seta. Mrs. came back with your amethyst a few days ago, and we gave her another Bbam ; but if she had been a person of another class your ring would have been lost We can't have careless clerks here." By this time all my aplomb had return ed to me. "Mr. Doughty was not careless," I said. The mistake was entirely mine." I saw Doughty brush away a tear, and as I took my leave I heard him say to Glitter: "Thank yoa, sir." But the diamond, the great, glowing, gorgeous diamond, is still in the family. Oh ! it is a family now. My wife knows the truth, but ber aunt never will ; and when Marcella wears it on state occasions the old lady ia wont to draw attention to its splendor ; and no one has ever yet doubted that it was genuine and a very fine stone, indeed.

Some time ago the household of a gentleman well known in commercial circles of Gravenhurst, Ont, was very much upset by the low of a valuable dia mond ring belonging to a guest, a lady from New York. Suspicion at once fell on a servant, who was employed as a housemaid, but upon her continued and earnest denial of the theft she was retain ed, as the gentleman, from a sense of justice, did not wish to discharge her on mere suspicion. A few davs after the ring disappeared it was found under the lady's window, with the solitaire stone, however, missing, having been pried out of the setting. It was supposed that the thief had removed the diamond to keep it from being identified. The mystery was solved, however, recently in a most unexpected manner, for in cleaning chick ens for dinner the cook discovered a small round object in its craw, which, on being cleaned, was found to be the mis sing diamond. Tbe supposition now is that the ring fell from the lady's band while she was in bed, and the clothes being shaken next morning it fell from them into the yard, where it was found by the ben, which pecked tbe stone from the setting and swallowed it The man who has learned to love peo ple be doesn't like is on the right road to heaven. erald. Ho Took Too Much. One day a smart young fellow with shiny shoes, a new hat and checker-bard trousers boarded a street car in a western city, and stepped to the front platform. He palled out a twist of paper and light ed it, and began puffing a concentrated essence of vile odors into the faces of these who were obliged to ride upon the platform if they rode at alL One, a plain old farmer, couldn't stand it, and stepped off to wait for the next car. When be reached the station tbe young fellow was there before him, and it happened that they met at the restaurant counter "Got any sandwiches?" called the young man to the waiter. - Here, gim me one," and he tossed out a nickel, and then proceeded to pick up and pull apart every one of tbe half-dozen sandwiches on the plate before he found one to suit him. The farmer, who bad been waiting for bis turn, drew back in disgust Finally he found something which the fingers of another had not fouled, and presently followed the loud young man to the car. He found every seat occupied, including the half of one on which was piled the young man's grip-sack and overcoat " la this seat taken V he ventured te inquire. " Seat's engaged," was the curt answer, with a look meant to squelch the old farmer, who went into the smoking car. That afternoon the same young man walked into the office of the Governor of tbe tate, armed with recommendations and endorsements, an applicant for a po sition under tbe State government He was confronted by the same plain old far mer, who recognized bis traveling com panion of the morning without the least trouble. Glancing over his papers, the Govern or said: " Hm , yes ; yoa want me to appoint yoa to so-and-so. If I should, I guess I might write my own resignation at the same time." ."Wh , so?" stammered the young fellow. " Because I saw yoa pay for a street car ride this morning, and yoa took up the car, driving other people off with your vile cigarette. Yoa bought a sandwich, and spoiled the plateful by fingering all of them. You paid for one seat in the train, and took mine, too ; and if I should give yoa this place, how do I know that yoa would not take tho whole adminis tration ? The Lieutenant Lost His Beer. " How is it, lieutenant," asked a young man of a gray-mustached officer, " that with your many years of sea life, involv ing, no doubt, some strange adventures, one never hears yon relate your experi ences of the sea?" " Well," was the answer, " I will relate to yoa a little instance of misplaced con fidence. Some years ago I was attached to a ship on the China station. One night it was my turn to take the mid watch. I settled myself on the starboard bridge- rail. " In a few moments I noticed a commo tion in the water close to the ship ; thre appeared not more than a half-cable length from where I was standings most gigaatic serpent I had . often read of such things, but bad never believed in them, but I could not doubt the evidence of my own eyes.

" It disappeared in a few f moments. The next morning at breakfast I related my experience to my brother officers and soon after turned into my bunk. Just be fore lunch I felt like drinking a glass of beer, and, ringing for the boy, ordered him to bring me a bottle. Tbe rascal didn't appear in a reasonable time, and I rang for him again. " What's the matter with the beer, Jim?" I asked. " ' Nuthin' de matter wid de beer, Mr. Bobstay.' " Then why don't yoa bring it T " Can't do it Mr. Bobstay. De doctor done stopped your beer.

A Story of Col. Ingersoll. A gentleman from Peoria, 111., at one time the home of Bob Ingersoll, relates the following : ' Yoa kuow Bob Ingersoll used to live in oar town. Bob atone time had taken into his office a young fellow, and, taking a liking to him, had done all he could to advance tbe interests of his protege. The young maa'a name was Puterbaugh, He developed rare abilities, and finally, with Bob's help, secured the nomination, and was subsequently elected to the bench. It came to pass that Ingersoll bad a case before Judge Puterbaugh. One of Bob's clerks, for a trifling offense, had been fined ten dollars for contempt of court during the trial of the case and Bob arose to protest He intimated that tbe court had taken a petty Yiew of the of fense. This made Judge Puterbaugh hot and he gave Mr. Ingersoll a sharp repre mand. Nothing daunted, Bob scored the court unmercifully, and when he finished Judge Puterbaugh declared the attorney in contempt, and assereed a fine of ten dollars. Daring all of the argument Bob kept within the rules of the court so far as ad dressing the judge as "Your Honor," etc Upon being fined, however, Bob went through his pockets, and not find ing the requisite eagle paralyzed every body by stepping up to the bench, and, holding out bis hand, said : " Lend me ten, old man." The judge was dumbfounded for a mo ment Then his features relaxed, and turning to the clerk, he said : " Remit the fine, Mr. Clerk. The peo ple of tbis county can better adord to lose ten dollars than I can. Then the laugh was on Bob.

A clean shaven, erect, elderly man with a clerical air, stepped into the count ing room of a man whe had advertised for an accountant and confidential clerk. The advertisement was worded : Wanted Young man ; must have good references. That was all it said, but the merchant expected him to have all the cardinal virtues thrown in. "I have A No. 1 reference for the po sition," said the applicant producing his papers. "How does it happen that yoa are out of a situation?" asked the merchant, as he ran his eye over the papers. "Ill health ; was in the hospital for a year; am as well cow aa I ever was, and better fitted ta do good work." "H'm may be so; but we want young men boys hustlers, in fact who can get there every time. We've no use for old men. Plain speaking, but business is business." "Then experience and a lifetime of in tegrity go for nothing?" "Unless you are at the head of a busi ness. Good boys we want boys every time." "All right Good day, sir. It's hard lines, but, as you say, business .is busi ness." In about six months the elderly man again made his appearance at the count ing room. He was laconic in speech and less deferential than be had been before. "I see your cashier has skipped out Taken a pile, hasn't he? I'm Detective Blank, of the merchant police, and I think I can get track of hiin for you." The merchant did not recognize his former applicant "Come into my private ollice," he said, and led the way. "He was a bang-up, sleek sort of a fel low, wasn't he, with a heap of style?" "Just so." "Smoked cigarretts and called the city 'town' r "Exactly." "Was a hustler, and got there every timer "I should say so." "Used black silk pockethandkerchlefs scented with white rose?" "Then yoa know him ?" "Oh, yes bunches of them ! But they seldom get away with anything but themselves. I'll pick him up without any trouble one of these days. Good day, sir." "Good I wonder where Fve seen that man before T said the merchant to him self. But he gave it up and sat down to write another advertisement for a hust ler. Ddr'jti Frt Pre. After the Battle.

He shouted to him several tirr.es, and by and by was ans rer d in such faint tones that he knew his servant was inside of the log on which he was staading. "Come out of there!" commanded the officer. "Cant do it !" he shouted in reply. "But you must The fight is all over." "But I can't dar's fo white men in dis log behind me." And when the officer investigated he found that c-:h was the fact They crawfished out, one after the other, each having an excuse to urge, and finally the darkey appeared. The ofBoer was about to open on him, but Ciesar protested : "Doan' say one word. Dis ar de fust time I ebber got ahead of a white man, an' its gwin to be tbe wrry litst!

The whaling vessel, t-Ur ui" the Fact a veracious corre'ptjudent of tlio veracious St. Louitt (Hut lhin, t U writes from New London, Conn., unjust arrived th .'re after a cruire of two yeitntaad a-half ia the South Atlantic waiers. St,e had on board a :ium who is a veriLi'ile Jonah, baring existed in a whale's belly thirty six hoars. The man's statement is vouched for by the captain and crew of the vessel, and to-day he is an object of great curiosity among the sailors. The man's name is James Bart!ey, and he hails from New Bedford, where he was born thirty -eight years ao. He has made two voyages from this point on the Star of the Last, and notwithstanding his exciting exper ience during his last trip he says that he will ship for another voyage as soon aa an opportuity to do so offers itself. The Strang story told by hi;n is, iu sub stance, as follows : Last February the Sur of tht L'.-t at in the vicinity of the Falkland islands, searching for w bales, which were very scarce. Oue morning the iook-oat sight ed a w hale) about three miles away on the starboard quarter. Two boats were, man ned and put ihae to the prey. In a short time one of the boats was near enough to enable tbe harpowr.er to send a spear into the whale which prov ed to be an exceeding'- large one. With the shaft in his side the animal souimcd and then sped awvay, dragjiur the boat after him with terrible speed. He sa:u straight away about five u.i'.es, w ina ho turned and came back almost directiy tjwrd the spot where he had been har pooned. The second boat waited Pr hi:n, and when but a short distance away from it be arose to the surface. As svn as his back showed above tna surface of tlio water the harpoouer in the second boS dros'e another spear i.ito him. The pain apparently crazed the whale, fjr it. threshed about fearfully, aad i: was fear ed that the boats would be swauiiieand the crews drowned. Finally the halo 6wam away, dragging the two boats after him. He went about three miles and sounded, or sank, and hli whereabouts could not be exactly told. The lines at tached to the harpoons were slack, aad the harpooners began to slowly draw them in and coil them in the tubs. As soon as they were tauhtcned the w hale arose to the surfave and beat aixmt with his tail in the maddest fashion. The boats attempted to g-t beyond the reach of the animal, which was apt rent ly in its death agonies, aud one of L:eiii succeeded, but the other was less fortu nate. The whale s-trutk it with his iiv.-ti and upset it. The men were throw n into the watei, and before the crew of the other boat could pick thetu up one man was drowned and James Bartley had dis appeared. When the whale, became . I quiet from exhaustion the waters wero searched for Hartley, but he could not be found, and under the impression that ho had been struck by the whale's tail ai;d sank to the bottom, the survivors rowed back to the ship. The whale was dead and in a few hours the great body was lying by tho ship's side and the men were l-usy w it't axes and spades cutting through t.'i flesh to secure the fat They worked all day and part of the ni'lit. They re's-.ai-ed operations the next forenoon, and were soon down to the deck. The work men were startled while latoring tocHif it and to fasten the chain about it to ili.-f-cover something doubled up in it that gave spasmodic signs of life. The vast pouch was hoisted to th j dck and cut open, and inside a.tsi. -rid the missing sailor doubled up and un conscious. He was laid out o:i the d-els and treated to a bath of sea wal-jr, which soon revived him, but his mind was not clear aud he was placed in the cat-tain's quarters, where he remained two week's a raving lunatic. Ho was carefully treat ed by the captain and officers of the ship, and he finally began to get possession of hisseiises. At the end of the third week he had entirely recovered from the shock and resumed his d ities. During bis brief f journ in the whale's beliy Bartley 's skin, w iaereit was expos ed to the action of the gastric jui.-es un derwent a striking change. His face and hands were bleached to a deathly white ness and the skin was wrinkled, giving the man the appear.'.nce of having been parSoi'.ed. Bartley affirms that he wouM probably have lived inside his house of Ch until he starved, for he lost his senses through fright and not through lack of a;r. lie says that he remembers the sensation cf of being lifted into the air by the nose of the whale and of falling into the water, then there was a fearful rushing sound, which he believed to be the beat ing of the water by the whale's tail ; thea he was encompassed by a fearful dark ness, and he felt himself slipping along a smooth passage of some sort, that seemed to move and carry him forward. This sensation lasted butau instant, then he felt that be had more room. He felt about him, and his bands came in con tact with a yielding, slimy sub-4ar.ee that seemed to shrink from his touch. It finally dawned npon hi;n that he had been swallowed by the whale, ari l he was overcome with horror at the sit uation. He could breath easily, but t!e heat was terrible. It was not of a scorch ing, stilling nature, but it seemed to open the pores of bis skin and t) draw out his vitality. H be?aau very weak aa 1 grev sick at his stomach, lie knew that tiiere was no hope of escape from Lis st:ar.g prison. Death stared him ia the face, and he tried to look at it bravely, but ti.s awful quiet the fearful darkness, the horrible knowledge of his environment and the terrible heat finally overvalue him, and he must have fUintrd, for he next remembered being in the captain's cabin. Bartley is not a man cf a timid nature but he says that it was many w eeks be fore he could pass a Bulit without liav rjij his sleep disturbed with harr viag reams of angry whales and the borrjrs ofh:s fearful prison. The ekin on the face aa i han.ls f Bartley has never recovered its natural appearance. It is yellow and wrinkled, and locks like old parchment Tbe health of the man does not See 11 to hate been affected by hin terrible experience: he is in splendid spir.tsan l apparently fully enjoys all tho blowings of life that comes his way. The whaling captains who sail from this port say that they never knew a parallel cs--e to this before. They say that it frequently occurs that men are swallowed by whiles who becwit.e in furiated by the paia of the harpous. an i attack the boats, but they have never known a man to go through tho ordeal that Bartley did and come out alive.
