UNDER FALSE COLORS Under the Ice of Cape Grle Nea two, easels were here to within fifty yards of each other. Boats were coming and going between them, and on the quar ter deck of the larger Teasel seven dejected-looking English sailors were drawn up under a guard of marines. From the maintops of both flaunted the tricolor of France, with thla omin ous difference: that on the smaller res el It surmounted the union jack of En gland. The brigantlne Firefly was In the hands of the French. The lumbering old coaster, bound from London to Chi chester harbor, with a genral cargo, bad been blown off her course by con trary winds to the wrong aide of the channel; the forty-two gnn frigate Al ceate had pounced upon her, and now her skipper, Jacob Dempster, waa rue fully giving an account of himself on the frigate's quarter deck. "Ha! say you that?" exclaimed th French captain, who spoke English well. "Your ship Is of Bosham, In the harbor of Chichester? Know you th manor house at Bos bam, owned, but not inhabited, by one Squire Billiard?" "I do seeing as I live within 100 yards of It," replied the rugged old mar iner, sullenly. "Certain French officers are residing there? Prisoners of war on parole?" "They were, when I left for London, three veeks back." Captain Fournler of the Alceste turn ed and addressed himself with much gesticulation and excitement to a group of his officers, who stood a few paces in the rear. The captured skipper fell bock and spoke with hia compan ions in misfortune. "There's something la the wind, lads; the Mounsecr captain has been making kind Inquiries about the prisoners at the manor house," he growled. Captain Fournler, having finished his consultation, again came forward. "M. Dempster," he said, "my brother, the Lieutenant Camille Fournler, is one of the prisoners living at the manor house of Bosham. He cannot attempt to escape himself because of his parole., but that makes no reason why I should not release liini by force. I propose to put a hundred of my men In the Fire fly, which as a ship of Bosham will not be suspected till too late for prevention, and run in and effect my purpose." Jacob Demister laughed sourly. "I'd like to see you try it," he replied. "Don't jou know that Bosham lies six miles from the sea? You'd be stuck on a mud bank before you'd done a mile of the creek." "It is you who will pilot us, my friend iu return for your liberty," be aid. "My men will remain below for concealment, while you and your crew work the vessel, as though la due course returning home." "What me niter a pack of French men up Bosham creek to the doors of my native village! I'll see you In Davy Jones' locker first!" . A murmur of approval came from the prisoners behind him, but Fournler, a cynical, cruel-looking man, merely smiled. "I have so far omitted to state the alternative," he said. "If neither you nor any member of your crew will teer the brigantlne up the creek I will hang you all at the yard arm within Ave minutes." There was a moment' dead silence, and the old skipper turned and faced hia crew. "What say you, my lads?" he asked quietly. "I'm for hanging." A lip or two among the married men twitched as they thought of wives and little ones, but the answer waa unmis takable, "We're with you, Jacob." - Not quite, however, as It proved. One voice among the Firefly's company was silent, and all eyes turned on the tall, blue-eyed young fellow In the cen ter of the line in amazement. Waa Oreg Applegarth, of all men, going to turn traitor? The French captain, whose quick eye had already singled him out as a dis sentient, put the question point blank: "You, there, are not so foolish as these others you will steer the brigan tlne to Bosham?" Avoiding the withering glance shot at trim by old Jacob, the young man raised his head for a second and answered: "Yes, I'll pilot her up the creek If so lis a you'll spare my mates' lives as (well as mine." "Yea, certainly unless they attempt to thwart me," said Fournler, con temptuously. "Mind this, though," he thundered, changing to sudden fury. "It by the act of any one of you my plan falls I will not only hang you all, but I will burn every house In the vil lage. It Is a secluded spot, far from garrisons, I see by the map, and many things would happen before help could arrive." Having selected 100 X hia best me a. ander a proper complement of officers. Captain Fournler sent them aboard the Firefly, and followed with Greg, for he meant to lead the enterprise in per lon, leaving the Alceste In charge of his trst lieutenant. As soon as the transfer waa complete and a rendezvous appointed with the frigate the French flag was hauled Jown on the Firefly and she stood across for the English coast Greg Ap plegarth. was permitted to remain on fleck, hut Jacob Dempster and the rent f his crew were thrust into the hold, where they passed their time In cursing their comrade's treachery. That the traitor should be Greg Ap plegarth was the most astonishing fact nf ali especially to old Jacob, who was aware of certain tender passages be tween the smart young sailor and his wn wayward daughter Feggy. ' The prisoners of war were permitted by the Government to rent the manor house and live there as they pleased, provided they kept to the stipulation f their parole, which demanded that tbey ahonld make no attempt to escape ar go farther than two miles from their dwelling. - Camille Fournler, the brother of the captain of the Aloestn, had earlj con trived to town icmmacs Peggy Dempster, and the viva eos vi lag's beauty had been flattered tote) a! kwiag a wanner fitrtattoa than sh had perhaps intended. Peggr was leaning over her rather, garde irate one evening, saying gwe -night to the French officer, who was to mora engrossed to notice that Ores A plegarth was coming op the road. "Would that my captivity could ec dare forever." Camilla said. "How ahal'. I ever tear myself from yonr sweet presence. Mistress Peggy, when I re turn to France? "There Is a way eat of that difficulty; yon might ask me to come, too," re plied the thoughtless gtrL "1 will bear that In mind," said Ca mille, not suspecting. In bis vanity, that the words were meant for other ear? than his. Greg Applegarth bad referred to thla Incident only the day before the cap ture of the Firefly, and had expressed a bitter hatred of all Frenchmen in general and of Lieutenant OaralUe Foamier in particular. And now here he wan, to Jaeob'i amasment, assisting not only the na tion, but the individual, to defy hta own eenntry and to land an, armed fere on her shores. - Questioned by Captain Fonrnler mm to his reasons for not following their ex ample, he replied with n grin that he wss not so fond of hia country aa to want to die for ber when there was a plain way out. The Firefly was captured on n Satur day, and it waa not till dawn waa breaking on Sunday that Greg waa called on to act as pilot, when the brigantlne was rounding Belsen B11L As the Teasel was now In ths fair way for Portsmouth and British cruisers warmed like wasps about the entrance of their nest, the French seamen lay concealed below, except half a dosen dressed In garments taken from ths English sailors' stock. Captain Four nler, pistol In hand, stood close to Greg, alert for the first sign of treach ery. Before running for Hayllng Island to make the entrance of the creek h found It necessary to execute several maneuvers which took a good deal of time, explaining the necessity of them by the numerous shallows he had to avoid. When at length he put the helm up and stood boldly into ths creek on the half flood the wind swerved from be hind, but presently a sharp bend In the narrow passage made the sails useless and the boats were ordered out to tow. The brigantlne emerged from the nar row gut of the winding creek into the broader waters at the village Just ai the bells of Bosham church ceased ring ing for morning service. The French captain was burning with suppressed excitement. "Where Is the manor house where my brother lives?" he asked, as Greg gave the wheel a turn and brought the Fire fly round. "There, yonder back of the church," was the reply. "I've fetched you up right opposite to it as near aa I dare go. You'd lest anchor here." The French captain gave the necea sary orders, and at once set about mak ing his dispositions for landing his en tire force, except a sufficient guard fot the prisoners. Though the landing entailed Severn Journeys In the Firefly's boats. It was rapidly effected, and with Fournler si Its head the party started for the man or house under Greg's guidance. Only a hundred yards of marshy pas ture land lay between the creek and the moat, but the young sailor lad lev the Fienchuien a long slant up tb meadows and back again before finally approachiDg their goal. The captain looked at him once "or twice auspic iously. "You don't want your men stuck lo the mud," said Greg, and he pointed convincingly to a quagmire they were passing. After half an hour's wandering to and fro in the meadows he led the party up to the bridge over the moat, and they entered the grounds of th manor house from the rear. As tbey filed round to the front, a group of men who were sitting under a tree on tht lawn started on seeing the familiar uni form. A minute later Captain Fournlei had embraced his brother and explain ed the situation. The prisoners of war were in an ecsta sy of delight at the prospect of, as one ol them facetiously put it, being "brutally dragged from their parole," but on th captain proposing an immediate return to the boats, Camille waved hia hand gayly In deprecation. "Wait a brief time, my brother," h laughed. "The little god Cupid de mands It. and we are quite safo frou opposition here. There are not twenty able-bodied Britons In the place. Most of them are in church, and they are all unarmed." " "Ah, ah! you have been amusing yourself," said the captain. "Well, hasten and say your adieus to the fair one, for I am anxious to be gone." "It la not a matter of farewell, noth ing so dismal," replied the younger brother, complacently twirling his mus tache. "The fair one Is ready to accom pany me whenever I take my depar ture, but unfortunately she is in church, snd likely to remain there for another hour. I have heard that the priest of Bosham is a cleric of long wind." "Write the lady a note, asking her on tome excuse to leave the church," he said. "I have with me an English sail or wha shall deliver it." Camille scribbled a few lines on s leaf In his pocket book, folded It and handed it to his brother, who called Greg to him. "You know this lady by sight?" he asked, pointing to the superscription. The young sailor's face was as steady as a rock as he answered in the affirma tive. "Take It to her in the church, then, and return yourself immediately. If you do not return I will march my men to the church and fire upon the people," said Fournler. Greg disappeared In the shrubbery which adjoined the churchyard. Pushing open the door, he removed bis cap and tiptoed reverently up the aisle toward the chancel, where Peggy Dempster was seated with the choir. But without approaching the choir Greg ran quickly up the pulpit steps. Mr. Gillyflower turned upon him angri ly, but on hearing the words which were rapidly whispered In his ear the vicar looked first startled, then shrewd ly Intelligent. - His communication fin ished, Greg left the church as quickly as he had entered, with Camille Four nier's note still in bis pocket, and with out once looking at Peggy. On the manor bouse lawn, where the French seamen made a picturesque group under the trees, Greg's return was hailed with acclamation by the officers by the two Founders espe cially. "What did she do when yon gave ber the note?" asked Camille eagerly. "She Just did nothing," was the un concerned reply. "You see, my dear Camille, she ha: cbangd her mind," said the captain. "Com&Jet uabe off out of tbis" "What matter to long as X gain n orpose?" retorted ths lieutenant Tart ally. "No, take the others aad sal iway If yon please, As for me, noUricr rill move me unless I can take the fal. Captain Fenraler bit his lip, but gav a. At most it only meant waiting an il the doss of the service, which could tot now be long deferred, and la tht eclnslon of the manor house ground the presence of the landing party would., to the aasawaIV, resnarn nn letected. But when the minutes grew into at. iour and n half, yet no signal was given y the man posted in the shrubbery to vatch the church door, the captain be ;an to fame and. stamp with rage. He finally threatened to turn the pre pense of n forced abduction Into n real ty and carry Camille on board the Fire fly whether or no. ""If yon do that," said the lieutenant, 'my first act on reaching France will be to demand of you satisfaction." At last the elder Founder's patience was exhausted. "Fail In. men," he said to his crew. "We will put the cloture on this loqua cious priest, and take the girl from un der his nose. Perhaps that wlU satisfy yon. lngrate?" turning to Camille. "Excellently well." replied the lieu tenant, and with tbe Jaunty quickstep of France the column tramped Into the shady churchyard, where tbe sonorous tones of Mr. Gillyflower were plainly audible. "Peste upon the fellow," muttered the captain, telling off twenty men to ac company him and his brother Into the church. Greg, who had followed closely at his elbow, plucking him by the sleeve, said, quietly: "It will be a long time before you see France again, captain. See there!"' And, leading him to the churchyard wall, he pointed mockingly at the Fire fly. The brigantlne lay high and dry on the mud at her anchorage, and would not float again for ten hours at least. For n moment the brave lad's life trembled In the balance. Then, with n bitter oath, tbe captain put up his pistol he had drawn. "If you do the folk no harm you'll bt made comfortable, I expect," said Greg, with a grin, for he had foreseen that, with retreat cut off, Fournler would dare no excesses. "You see, I remem ber how the tide would serve to-day and I timed so as to run you iu at church time. I knew Peggy would be there with the choir, and that that spark would never move without try ing to take her along. I allowed that by when the people came out the vessel would be hard and fast, but it was you who gave me the cbauce to tip the par son and hint to let 'em have an extra dose snd send word to the volunteer? from Chichester. Till you gave me that note I was getting anxious lest the brigantlne find enough water after all Parson must be about winded by now, but there are the drums of the volun teers. There's 400 of them, so you won't be disgraced by receiving 'em civilly." So, after all, that was the kind of traitor Greg wan. Ills chief reward lay In the removal of all the French prison ers new as well as old to safer quar ters, as he had hoped from tbe Unit. And Peggy said: "It would have been nicer of you to have given rue that note, silly. You were sever that foolish as to think I would have gone with him." Tid-Blts. EICYCLE POSSIBILITIES the Mechanical Limitations of the Wheal About Beached. Here we reach the domain of specu lation.

He advised that the ideal safety should not be geared too high, but only to fifty -four or fifty-seven inch es, "except In the case of strong rider.' Tbe gearing of the man's wheel of 189(1 Is from sixty-three Inches upward, a gearing of seventy Inches'ibelng about the average, and eighty ntrt at all un common; while the woman's wheel of to-day, when geared at sixty.

Not large, as small boys go, but It was a long time since he lind been a baby. "Years and years," he would have said to himself In fact it was so long ago that be couldu't remember anything about It. He had no recollection of being car ried about in loug clothes, and It would never have o-curred to him that thre was a time when lie could not trot around upon his sturdy little legs. A baby came luto the family. At first the queer little thing could not get around alone at all. Then It began to sit on the floor ajid creep around in a peculiar fashion of its own. That was evidently the way babies solved the questlnu of locomotion, the small boy thought, though he did not put It Into so many words. It was something as the puppies and kittens ran around, only not quite as satisfactory. But one day there came a surprise for the small boy. The baby had pulled itself up and stood by a chair. The, small boy gazed in amazement. Then be found bia voice: "Oh, mamma,- mamma," be called, "the baby's standing on its hiud legs." Om.'c Be I.azr. A geiitleiuau who employed n large number of men in his business, aud who bad influence to secure positions elsewhere, received a letter from a boy asking him to find him an easy berth. To this letter the gentleman sent the following reply: "You cannot be an editor; do not try the law; do not think of the ministry; let aloue all ships, shops, and merchau dise; abhor fiolitics; don't practice med icine; be not a farmer nor a mechanic; neither be a soldier nor a sailor. Don't work; don't study; dont think. None of these are easy. O, my son, you have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place In it, and that is the grave." The truth of the matter was that the boy was lazy. He was like a man W3 know of who is out of work. He has a family of little- children, who need shoes, clothes, and healthy food. Who provides these articles? The father? No, Indeed. He loafs around while: the mother goes out to sew, or do house work for the neighbors; In fact, she Is willing to do anything by which she can earn an honest penny. Tbe father says he is waiting for a certain man "to find him a nice easy' Job." The trouble Is, be Is naturally laxy, and beer-drinking has made him more so. A Boy wMa a Kiak. All the neighbors say that Ran Hughltt has a kink In his bead. They all like him, too, only no one ever feels certain what odd prank be will play next. Ran, or Ransome, according to the family Bible, lives with his fsther on a market garden near Evanston. Most of the year he has to work pretty hard, but this does not Interfere with his bav lng a good deal of fun in a quiet way No doubt be would like to rig np a sail boat or play baseball, but not havin the opportunity to enjoy either of tbest sports, he makes friends with tb squashes and cucumbers In his fatb rs garden. Take a walk with him some after noon, and be will show you some verj odd thinn. One of these ta his bottfcK cucumber. This suggests a pickle bote tie, gayly labeled and sealed with red wax. But Ban's cucumber Is an en tirely different affair. It is a fuU-sixe, living cucumber, and It haa grown in tide f a bottle until it hi almost bot tle shape, aad It could not possibly be removed without breaking the glass. When the cucumber was small Baa thrust It Into the narrow seek of a bottle, aad there, safe from Insects, it has grown until it haa attained nn aaual else. Next fall Haa proposes to two or aaa's kixks. xhlblt big bottle-shaped cucumber at the fair. He thinks It will he the odd est vegetable displayed. Another bottle experiment which he has tried haa not turned out so well. He Inclosed a young apple in an old Ink bottle, tying the bottle to tue limb above. The apple grew larger and larger in spite of its close quarters, anil Ban was certain that he waa going to have a bottle-apple to go with his bottle cucumber. But the apple refused to be thus restricted, and one dax when Kan wasn't looking It burst tbe ink bottle In two and began to grow out through the crack. An ink bottle may be pret ty strong and an apple rather soft, but tbe glass' could not withstand the steady pressure of the growing fruit. But Ran has still other kinks. One day not long ago Ran's father brought a big watermelon to the house and Mrs. Hughltt cut it ia two. It looked as red and Juicy and luclens aa any melon, and big slices of It were passed around. Uttla Nance Hughltt wss the first to bite Into the rich fruit, "he smacked her lips and blinked her eyes. "This melon Is vanilla flavored," she said, suddenly, Mra, Hughltt, who had just eaten a bit of the watermelon, tasted the vanil la plainly. "Ban." said Mr, Hughltt severely, foi he knew in a moment who was to blame, "what's tbe meaning of this?" Ran hung hta bead and explained. He had tapped the melon a few days before and poured a little of his moth er's flavoring extract Into it, and he ad mitted that there were lemon-flarered melons es well as vanilla melons. Ran's father said. "Next time, my son," In luch s voice that Ran wiQ never flavor any more melons, although be says h tikes them better that way. A Lawyer's Testimony. Trvm Of Btrald, Fotidam. JV. T.

Tbey Bave Their Grievances the Basse aa la Thla Land of the Free. It Is probable that London servant girls of fair Intelligence will not long consent to spend their days in cellar chambers and their nights In such in human attics as we have described; nor yet remain without an opportunity for business-like improvement, owing to the incapacity of mistresses to teieu them. Women of the middle class who need domestic help hsd better, there fore, become wise In time; and, first, they should reduce the style of tneir establlshments and raise their charac ter. The present state of things Is evil and absurd; it tends to make tbe pub lic In their sections mutually contempt uous Instead of universally respectful, snd It thus becomes a means and causs of social degradation. Tbe out cry of our Londoners about bad trade is ofter a result of feebleness and want of clear discernment. There Is, in fact, excess of trade in unproduc tive vanities, diverting capital from reproductive work, and people In the main are living much above a prudent scale of outlay. A few save their money and Invest it; but the majority seek merely to appear perhap a quar ter richer than they actually are, ami thus they make themselves at once ridiculous and Impoverished. Were they to rid themselves of half their foolish furniture and duly scrub their floors they might live decently without dependence upon Ill-conditioned servant girls, and might also multi ply deposits at the bank. Whnt wt have now declared is no new thing, no first discovery. Some forty yesrs ago a London preacher found it need ful to exhort his congregation to a gen eral abatement of their annual ex penditure and style of living. The advice, like much advice of value, firmly given, without vanity, was taken in good part, and the result was good. Why cannot other ministers In London do the same? Economy to habitude of life, in family and per sonal expenditure, is the foundation ol a multitude of virtues, and especially of individual self-respect and of finan cial liherality.
