PEGGY sat on tlio ancient, nielan
clioly ruins of Bropliy's wharf
at play. She had found some
pretty shells 011 the shore, and
she was arranging them in fanciful
patterns on the green cover of a hook.
It was quite amusing, but she sudden
ly remembered, with a start, that she
was the wife of Senator Mallister.
This thought always gave her a thrill
such as one feels at intervals after a
great hazard. The senator was to In r
the most formidable of created things.
She loved him as the savage loves his
god during a thunderstorm. It was in
credible to her that she had dared to
marry him. Indeed she could say in
the sight of heaven that she was not
responsible. Her aunt had done it and
hail tied to Europe immediately after-
Ward, as if afraid of the consequences.
In truth, Peggy was a mere child, a
very modest chihl, mueli tormented by
embarrassment and self depreciation,
full of an old fashioned reverence foi
great personages, of whom the sena
tor, partly because of his lofty stature
and imposing countenance, seemed to
her the chief. The wedding was In
January, and July had come, but Peg- :
gy had not recovered from her fright
The senator had bought a cottage in
Castine, and they were spending the j
Bummer there.
Some one said "I'eggy!" close be
hind her, and it startled her so that the j
little shells jumped 011 the green book, j
She turned and beheld Arthur Waring
sitting in a canvas canoe which he j
had run up alongside the old pier.
"Arthur," she cried, "you frightened j
me half to death!"
"You have more than half killed j
me," he said, "so the balance is still j
In your favor. Feggy, why—why- j
why"—
He finished the sentence with a
groan that rocked the canoe.
"I didn't know you were in town,"
said I'eggy sweetly. "YOll must come
up to the house. Senator Mallister
will be very glad to see you. He is in
Bar Harbor just now conferring with
the secretary of state."
She paused to let these words sink
Into the young man's mind, but ho was
occupied with other matters.
"Peggy," he said, "we were very
good friends last summer. (If course
I don't blame you, but—but don't you
think you ought to have gi vim me
some warning? The invitation to your
wedding knocked the everlasting"—
He stopped there because the re
mainder of the sentence as 110 had im
pulsively framed it was direfully lack
ing in sentiment.
"I knew you'd be surprised," she said,
nodding at him like a bird on a bough.
He looked at her in rigid despair, his
mouth a little open; then his teeth
closed with a snap, and he said some
thing incomprehensible that sounded
like a tiger gnawing a bone. This
seemed to afford him considerable re
lief, for his manner changed immedi
ately.
"Come aboard, Peggy," said he. "I'll
paddle down along the shore."
"I'd like togo," said Peggy, "but"—
Waring rose and took her by the
hand, steadying the canoe meanwhile
DIDN'T KNOW YOU WEEK IN TOWN," SAID
I»EG<JY SWEETLY
ith great skill as she stepped aboard.
Vhen she was seated upon the deer
«ln, Waring pushed the canoe back
nrd until It passed the end of the old
jr. where the beginning of the ebb
is making delicate tracery upon the
.assy water.
The young man laid his paddle across
) knees and stare* 1 without
.eaklng a was busy with
.s own sensations, which were not
hat he had supposed they would be.
le picture of this occasion had pre
sided itself to him a thousand times,
(e had fancied it a scene in a deep
agedy of the heart. Put the realiza
on was not tragic. Indeed it was
ard work to keep it above the com
tonplace. Where were those fin#
eeches that he had Imagined? Where
•as Peggy's remorse, which had al
>ys figured conspicuously in his vl
ons?
Of course the girl had made a mis
<e. She must have married from 1110-
,es that are condemned in all the
„«ry books for social position, for the
hi' tty finery that goes with wealth,
l.'et there was no shadow of regret up
).'i her brow; tears had not eroded her
fwlr young cheeks.
Peggy experienced 110 more than the
gratification of a child. A canoe was
•icr delight. On this glorious day the
iglit craft floated in a wondrous silence
ietween two worlds, for the water was
o clear that its surface vanished, and
le dome of blue and white was as real
elow as above.
"We'd better fro down stream," said
'aring suddenly; "then we won't meet
nybody."
I'eggy looked scared. "1 ought not
<» have come," she said in a hushed
olec.
The situation suddenly became inter
stinjj to Waring. It took on the color
•t an escapaue. ne uad spoken almost
t random, but the fact that I'ejjgy
.•as frightened proved that the matter
111 st be of consequence.
1 1111 nk you can afford to give me
a few minutes, Peggy," lie said. "It is
very little in comparison with a whole
lifetime."
"If anybody should see 11s" Peggy
began.
"Don't worry," lie said sullenly. "I'll
take her over to the other shore."
lie began to paddle steadily with
strokes that lifted the canoe and sent
a thrill tlirough its delicate structure.
IVggj did not know what to do. Her
mind swung like a pendulum, and at
one moment this little excursion seem
ed a harmless pleasure and again it
was a fatal indiscretion. I'pon the
whole, the second view gained ground
until at last she was the prey of terror.
If she had not been with Mr. Waring
so frequently the previous summer, it
would not be so bad, but to take ad
vantage of her husband's first absence
togo out upon the water alone with
precisely the wrong man was obviously
an unpardonable sin.
if •
"WE'KE ADEIFT. THAT'S THE TRUTH
ABOUT US."
1 lie canoe was going like a flying
iisli. and by the time Peggy reached
the extremity of her terror Nautilus Is
land point, at the mouth of the harbor,
was close at hand upon the port side.
"We must go back," said I'eggy.
"Not for worlds," he replied. "Why
sli uld you l»e afraid? No one will ever
know. We can have an hour or two
upon the water, and then I call set you
ashore so quietly"—
"I must have been crazy!" she ex
claimed. "I am risking my whole life
for absolutely nothing."
The canoe jumped about ten feet un
der the influence of the stroke which
Waring gave. After the relief which
this exertion afforded he was able to
speak.
"So 1 am absolutely nothing to you?"
he demanded.
"Goodness!" she exclaimed. "I should
hope so. Why, Arthur, I'm married!
You don't seem to understand the sit
uation."
it is hard to say why this accusation,
very childishly made, produced such
an effect upon Waring, but somehow it
struck him as the refinement of cru
elty. it seemed to liiui in that instant
as if he had done nothing for six
months except to darkly meditate upon
this very matter. Not understand it!
'l'lit* luff that IN: | hit Uitr [mtiaic
had in it the essence of a very hard
word. Perhaps the paddle objected on
conscientious grounds to being used ns
something to swear with. At any rate,
It snapped short off.
Waring nearly went overboard with
the shock.
"Never mind, Peggy," said he,
straightening up and steadying the
rocking canoe. "I have a spare"—
He stopped suddenly, his eyes star
ing downward into the canoe.
"Eternal heavens!" he cried. "Mill
bus forgotten it!"
"Mill" was the Individual from whom
the canoe was hired, the most careful
and accurate man who ever fitted out
] a craft <«f any sort for the uses of the
amateur boatmen. That he should
have forgotten the spare paddle was
nothing short of u miracle.
Waring sat up on his seat and shrug
ged his shoulders. Then ho caressed
his downy mustache with his left hand
while lie held the useless staff of the
paddle in his right. And the ebb tide,
which runs very strong at that point,
was busy with the canoe.
"Is it very serious?" queried Peggy,
who felt, but did not fully grasp, the
situation.
"I'eggy," said he, "we're adrift.
That's the truth about 11s. The tide Is
running out, and what wind there is
is offshore. We're going down the bay
at the rate of about three knots."
"Can't we get some one to help us?"
she asked,
lie looked at her steadily.
"There isn't any one handy," said he,
"and even if there were do you think
we'd better eall attention to ourselves?
I'eggy, you can't think how sorry, how
deadly, terribly sorry, I am to have got
you into this scrape."
Then indeed the girl saw what had
happened. They were adrift, and they
dared not call for help.
"It's a choice between a scandal and
a watery grave," ho said, laughing
nervously. "I can stand up here and
yell until somebody In the town or on
the water may possibly hear me, but
if one hears everybody will hear —even-
tually."
In Peggy's youthful mind a sentence
was ringing like the sound of surf on a
shore "P.e sure thy sin shall find thee
: out " She did not know where the sen
-1 timent came from, but It seemed to fit
! the situation precisely.
She looked around over the water.
J No craft was visible but the little
! steamer coming across from Long la
! land. She seemed to be rushing straight
j for them, and heaven only knew how
many acquaintances might be aboard
j of her.
"Put your parasol over your left
shoulder," said Waring. "Then they
l can't see your face. Confound them!
They're going to shave us close, and I
haven't ain paddle. There's John Wil
liams In the pilothouse. I know him
from here, and he knows me. He
j wouldn't dare run so close to a canoe
unless he knew who was handling her.
I If I should wave this broken paddle—
llut I dare not. He'd stop the steamer.
Blast hiui!"
The steamer seemed to be swinging
even closer. Waring became seriously
alarmed lest the swell should upset the
canoe, for lie had no means of heading
; ' her up to it.
"Peggy," he cried, "shall I yell to
! him?"
"Never," she whispered, cowering be
hind her parasol. "I would rather
drown "
Tliei s somebody up forward who's
lookiic' at us through a lieldglass,"
said Waring
"is there?" said Peggy, and without
s thinking she put aside her parasol to
e see.
The steamer was then not more than
• a cable's length away. Peggy saw the
man with the lieldglass quite plainly.
' He had lowered it, and his face wan
clear in the light, and lie was the sena
-1 tor 011 his way back from Bar Harbor
1 Peggy uttered a faint, gasping cry
and fell against the cushioned board,
r
"THIS 13 ALL MY FAULT," SAID WAKING.
while the pnrasol dropped over the
rail. Waring made an attempt to
seize It and nearly upset the canoe.
"We are lost!" he said, with the calm
ness of despair. "They'll know I'm dis
abled because I can't paddle after the
parasol."
"The senator!" moaned Peggy.
The sound of a bell came over the
water—a single stroke.
"They're slowing down," said War
ing. "That is the end of us."
Again the bell sounded—one stroke
and then two. As neatly as possible
old John Williams brought the little
steamer alongside the canoe. Waring
stood up and took hold of tho vessel's
rail just as the stern face of Senator
Mallister appeared over it.
"This Is all my fault," Waring began
before any one else could say a word. ,
"It isn't safe togo out without a
spare paddle," said the senator. "Were
you much frightened, poor little Peg
gy?"
Peggy uttered a faint sound that
might have been "Yes," and then she
burst into tears. Waring assisted her
to rise, and she scaled the steamer's
rail quite easily.
The senator soothed her tenderly, as
If she had been a frightened child.
"This will teach you a lesson," he
said. "When you go out with Mr.
Waring again, you'll see that he has a
spare paddle."
Peggy looked up at him with eyes
that were round with wonder.
"I'm not going again," she sobbed,
and then suddenly she clasped tho sen
ator's hand in both of hers and kissed It.
KILLED THE SPIDER.
Deadly Influrncr of a Small Mnnnet
on the liuiect.
An experiment mado bv a scientist
to test tho influence wniCn a magnet
.will have on a spider is of Interest.
The magnet employed was a small
steel one of the t' shupo, the legs of
which were about two and a half
Inches long by one-half Inch wide and
one-sixth of an Inch thick, the distance
between tho poles being about one
quarter of an inch.
Having noticed a small spider active
ly running along his armchair, he
brushed It off upon the carpet, where
It began to run, but was somewhat im
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
He now slid the magnet along the car
pet, following after the Bpider, till the
ends of the poles were within a quar
ter of an inch of it. The animal, with
out being touched, almost lustantly
stopped, and on withdrawing the mag
net the spider continued on his jour
ney.
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch In front of
the spider, and, withdrawing It slow
ly, the latter followed It In every direc
tion which the magnet took, both in
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be
came so strongly magnetized aa to bo
Immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic Influence seeming to lose Its
further power. On withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider l»egan to
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net, covering them both completely,
apd at the expiration of severul min
utes the spider, after a struggle to es
cape from the strong influence which
tjuo magnet exercised over it, was
dead.—Exchange.
The Word Flattery.
At first sight there would appear to
be little connection between flattery
and the wagging of a dog's tall, yet
in nearly all the northern language the
same word signifies both, and flattery
is certainly derived from the word sig
nifying to wag the tall. In the old
Norman fiagra signifies to flatter and
also to wag tho tail. In Danish logro
Is to wag the tall, and loger for een Is
to fawn on one. In Dutch vleydcn Is
to flatter and vleydsteerten is to wag
the tail. In the old German wedelu
Is to wag the tail, and in English
wheedle Is to galu one's end in flat
tery.

' Hooks of travel usually contain a

besides not n little that is uninterest
ing, and the old travelers who wrote
| about their voyages to New York fur
nished few exceptions to the rule.
Tantalizing, therefore, is tlie diary of
i an observer who visited these shores
J in 1070; who had a reportorlai instinct

ty pages describing New York city at
the time of his visit. Exactly that
which wotdd now be most valuable is
lost; but, from what remains, we can
learn a good deal about the Now York
of those days.
Jaspar Dankers Is the writer whose
impressions of New York have thus
j been lost to the world, and in what
i has been preserved of his writings the
! chief thing that forces its attention up
! on the reader is the magnitude of the
peach crop in these parts during the
year of his visit. lie was a religious
enthusiast, the leader of the Labadists,
a sect that flourished briefly on three
continents toward the close of tho sev
enteenth century, and his voyage com
panion was a minister of the same
sect
Rut there is little of this in his diary
, against a great deal of what they ate
, and drank, and on occasions when
they went to the little church in the
fort where tho custom house is now
tho fact is mentioned with some apolo
gies, one service bring attended "In or
der to avoid scandal and for other rea
sons" and others because "my com
, panion is endeavoring to learn the lan
guage."
But on the very day of their arrival
in New York, Sept. 23, 1070,-wo begin
to hear of the eatables and drinkables,
especially the peaches.
"Ho first took us to the house of one
of his friends, who welcomed him and
us and offered us some of the fruit of
the country, very tine peaches and full
grown apples, which filled our hearts
with thankfulness to God. This fruit
was exceedingly fair and good and
pleasant to the taste, much better than
that In Holland or elsewhere, though
1 believe our long fasting and craving
for food made it so agreeable. After
taking a >;lass of madeira we proceed
ed. As we walked along wo saw in
different gardens trees full of apples
of various kinds and so laden with
peaches and other fruit that one might
doubt whether there were more leaves
or fruit on them. I have never seen In
Europe in the best seasons such an
overflowing abundance. When we fin
ished our tour and had given our
guides several letters to deliver, we
returned to his father in law's. He re
galed us in the evening with milk,
which refreshed us much. We had so
many peaches set before us that we
were timid about eating them, though
we experienced no ill effects from
them."
And the next day, Sunday, the rec
ord opens with this:
"I was surprised on waking to flnd
my comrade had already dressed him
self and breakfasted upon peaches."
end of the week they crossed tho ferry
(for less than half a cent apiece) to
Long Island, where the people made
them "very welcome, sharing with us
bountifully whatever they had,
whether it was milk, cider, fruit or to
bacco, and especially, llrst and most of
all, miserable rum, which had been
brought from Barbados and which is
railed by the Dutch 'kill-devil.' These
people are very fond of it, and most of
them extravagantly so, although it is
very dear and has a bad taste."
But on I/)rig Island, as elsewhere,
the peaches were as good as the rum
was bad.
"It is impossible to tell how many
peach trees we passed, all laden with
fruit to breaking down and many of
them actually broken down. We came
to a place surrounded with such trees
from which so many had fallen off
that the ground could not be discerned
and you could not put your foot down
.without trampling them, and notwith
standing such largo quantities had
fallen off tho trees still were as full
lis they could bear. The hogs and
other animals mostly feed on them."
The peaches in llarlem were as plen
tiful and still more delicious. When
they went up to tho north end of Man
hattan island, we flnd this notice:
"Before we left (Harlem) we did not
omit supplying ourselves with peaches,
which grew in an orchard along tho
road. The whole ground was covered
with them and with apples, lying upon
tho new grain with which the orchard
was planted. The peaches were the
most delicious we had yet eaten."
But they need not have taken tlio
precaution mentioned, for even after
crossing Spuyten Duyvll they found
more peaches than over.
"We came to u road which was en
tirely covered with peaches. We asked
tho boy why they left them lie there
! and did not let tho hogs eat them.
Ho answered: 'Wo do not know what
to do with them, there are so many.
Tho hogs are satiated with them and
| will not eat any moro.' From this we
, may Judgo of tho quantity of them."—

CATCHING A THIEF.
An Old Method I tllwiil by u (icrraan
OtfK-er lu China.
Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of
ficers' club in Tientsin, China, and the
members »112 the club resolved, if possi
ble, to catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He the* said to
them:
"Some money has been stolen here,
and 1 am looking for the thief. I shall
find him In an hour, not before, since
I need that much time In order to get
instructions from a celebrated magi
clan In Germany."
An hour later all the servants \ re
again summoned, but this time i ' • a
dflrk room, In tho middle of \ h
stood the tablo on which the money
stolen had been laid.
"Each of you, now," said the officer,
"must go up to that table and press on
It first your right and then your left
hand, and when that is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room."
The servants did so, and as the last
one stepped Into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for a few moments at the many
uplifted bands he pointed to one man
and said, "You are the thief." The
Chinaman to whom he pointed nearly
fell to the ground with fright and ad
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by tho officer for discovering the cul
prit. Wliile the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was In Germany
In communion with the celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing tho
surface of the table in the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
ened by means of soot. The Innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on th ■ table, according to his instruc
tions, but the culprit, though super
stitious, did not do so.
As a result, while the uplifted hands
of all the o. hers were coal black, his j
| were of a natural color, and thus his
