Into this exclusive ■ ham her Captain
Owen Kettle had made his way that
day after tea and o\<r two modest half
pluts of hitter Iteer had done his share
In the talk and MHiitng from 8 till
10 Mo of the clock. He had exchanged
view- with other shipmasters on car
goes crews. Insurances, climates and
those other professional matters which
the profane world not in the shipping
Interest finds so dreary, and had heen
listened to with deference, lie was a
Diau who commanded attention, and.
though you might not like what he
•aid, you would n«>t drcini of refusing
to listen to it.
That special night, however. Captain
Kettle's pi isoiial views on maritime af
faire w.rc listened to with even more
deference than usual. A large, red
haired man swung Into the captains'
room some few minutes after Captain
Kettle had seated himself, and after or
d«-niit: hi- beverage and a cigar nodded
with a whimsical smile in Kettle's di
rection and ask»d him how he liked the
ce!ghborbt«id of Valparaiso as a resi
lience.
"I forget." Faid the little sailor, dryly
enough.
"All right, captain," said the red
haired man. "Don't you mind me. 1
iievtT remember too much myself
either. Only you did me a good turn
out there, although you probably don't
know it, aud I'd l»e proud if you'd have
a drink or a smoke vv th me now in re
membrance."
"You're very polite, captain."
"lKm't mention It. captain," said the
red haiivd man, and lie struck the bell.
"Same? Half a piut of bitter, please,
miss, ami one of your best fourpemiy
•mokes."
The general talk of the captains ;
room. which had halted for the mo
ment, went on again. One worthy
mariner had lecentlj failed to show a
clean bill of h< alth in Barcelona and
had been sent to do twenty days' pen
ance at the quarantine station, which
l» in I'ort M.thon. Minorca. Asa natu

■ttiuehow the opportunity was denied

Kettle's v i< V. son the question to which
the captains' room found itself listen
ing A salvage matter was brought up
t.j a stout gentleman in the Baltic tim
t-er trade wtio was anxious to air his
fentlu • nts, but the red haired man
tkilifully Intervened, aud "Kettle on
tulvage" was asked for and heard.
And s> on ail through the evening.
Ihe led hailed Mil did his work cleV
~iy and no one resented it.
Now. Kettle was a man who liked
elng i steiied to.and there is no doubt
fiat Lis vanity was tickled by all this
«tef«*euce from his professional equals.
There is no doulit also that the snug
•ecurity of Hallett's lulled his usual
tense of wariness, which may in part
account for what happened afterward.
And so. without further excuse for
tiim. It Is my [talnful duty to record
that an hour after he left the captains'
*uuui the little sailor was entrapped
ind kidnaped by what to a man of his
tnowledge was one of the most vulgar
M artifices.
He emptied his tumbler, stood up and
•aid he must lie going. The red haired
man looked at the round cabin clock
in the wall and mentioned that it was
ols time also and together they went
Mitslde Into the damp, dark main
«tre»-t of South Shields.
"Oolng buck to your ship, captain?"
th* hi:.' hU atii-'er.
"Why. no. captain," said Kettle "i
live h»*re, and I'm off home."
"1 hen I sup|iose I inust say good
night Hop." to meet yon though .
»uiii ooat an- you on now, captain:
tt dl, I'm putting io a hit of a spell |

iiaven'i i me .HTOSS any eniploymcnt
quite to II.Y taste lately. 'Tisii't every
shi(Hjwner 1 cure to serve under."
"No," said the red haired man. "They
are bruti - most of them. But look
le re, iptaiu. there'd be no offense in
m> getting you the refusal of a berth.
Would there?"
Kettle flushed. "Captain," he said,
' >ou'»a rerj good Yon sie. I'm mar
ried. with children, and I've never
eurn«it to put anything by. Be
twceii men, I don't mind telling you
1 l.i on my l«*am end-- It 1 can't Ket
hold of an adv ill' <• note this week, it
will lie an .King to 11 • pawnshop for
Mrs. Kettle's next Sunday's dinner."
The r«*d haind man sighed. "Well,
captain," he said, ".ion needn't thank
me It'* Ju-1 my ilnty to my . mployers
to put this thiiiu in your way. But
We'll not speak of it here ill the open.
Come ahum oft to my steamboat."
"Bight," said Kettle. "Where have
you got her?"
"She's lying at a buoy In the river.
We i an get a Imat from the steps."
Nothing much more v\ as sai# 1 between
them then. Ihe big red haired man
seemed indisposed for further talk, and
* | Kettle was too proud to HSK questions.
Together they walked with their short
seaman's stride dovv n the wet now
! streets of the seaport, and Captain
L Kettle made Ids lira in ache by hoping
that this would not be another item to
add to his long list of disappointments,
lie itad not earned a day's wage for
112 six months, and he was in such straits
t for want of money that he was grow
' ing desperate.
I i They got down to the steps and took
u waterman's boat, turned up the piece
■ ' of plank which lay in the stern sheets
* and sat on the dry side and then pushed
off into the dark river. The red haired
man picked up the yoke lines and
' steered the boat among the dense ship
' ping, past tiers of coasting schooners
and timber droghers and out of work
1 clinker built tugs, past ungainly iron
steam tramps, fishing craft, dredgers
and the other resting traffic of the
Tyne, and finally rounded up under a
frieze of sterns and ran alongside the
gangway of a '-'mi ton steam yacht.
"Hello!" said Kettle. "Pleasure?"
"Well, hardly that," said the red
haired man. "Step aboard, captain,
and I'll pay off the waterman."
! "He'd better wait to take me ashore
1 ngain."
"No; let him go. We may have a
' long talk. I'll put you ashore in one
of my own boats when you go. Now,
captain, here we are. Come below to
1 my room."
"You've got steam up. 1 see," said
Kettle as they walked aft along the
1 white, wet decks.
i "My orders." said the red haired
'
man.
"Sail soon?"
"May start any minute. We never :
know My owner's a rare one for ,
changing mind."
i "Huh!" said Kettle. "Might be a
i woman."
"Devilish like a woman." said the i
j red haired man dryly. He opened a j
1 : door at the foot of the companion way i
j and turned an electric light switch. I
"This is my room, captain. Step right i
in. A drop of whisky would be a good
thing to keep out the cold while we
talk. Kxcuse me a minute while I go
get a couple of tumblers. 1 guess the
steward's turned in."
Kettle seated himself on a velvet j
covered sofa and looked round at tlie
elaborate fittings of the cabin. "Satin
wood panels," he commented, "nickel
| battens to put the charts on, glass
| backed bookcase and silk bunk cur
j tains; no expense spared anywhere.
! Lord! Who wouldn't sell a farm and
goto sea? But the old man said she
wasn't pleasure I wonder what the
game is? Contraband. I guess. Many
a yacht's great on that. Well, any
way, I've got to hear."
The red haired man came back with
two half filled tumblers and a water
jug. "Here's tlie said lie.
"Mix it according to your own weight."
"That's rather more than my usual
whack," said Kettle, eying the tumbler,
"but it's a cold, wet night, so here's—
By the way, captain, I'm afraid I've
forgotten your name."
"My name?" said the red haired man.
"Oh. yes; I'm Douglas Captain Doug
las."
"Captain Douglas." said Kettle
thoughtfully. "No; 1 can't say I recall
•t at present. Well. sir. anyway, here's
Tour va ry good health nii'l prosperity."
"Same," said the red haired man,
tnd he absorbed his whisky and water
with the dexterity of an artist. Out
.if iMilltenew Captain Kettle finished
his tuns! !er also There is an etiquette
ibont tl -e matters
Silcnci tilled the cabin for a minute
or so !>i 'ken only by the distant cl.it
ter or' :> shovel on a tire bar. aud Ket
tle locked at the cabin clock. It was
11:.'{0 and Mrs Kettle would be ex
pecting him home. "Hello!" he said.
'Firing up? Oh. 1 suppose you've got
to keep steam in the donkey boiler
while you're In the harbor to run your
dynamo. By the way, you were talk
in;; about some employment you could
putin my way, captain." he added
' suggestively.
"Employment," said Douglas uneas
ily. "< ill. was I? Employment yes,
to be ••»*. Well, you see, captain, it
was my owner I was speaking for, and
ve been thinking it over, and perhaps,
*n the whole, you'd better see her for
yourself."
"Her!" said Kettle. "Is there a wo
man at th*' head of the concern?"
"A ladv, call her. But look lure, cap
tain; you're getting sleepy. Why not
turn in here for the night and see her
yourself in the morning?"
Kettle yawned, and his head nodded.
"I am sleepy, and that'sa fact, though
I don't know why 1 should be. But it
wouldn't do for me to turn in here for
the night. Mrs. Kettle's expecting me
at home, and I've never broken word
to her since 1 was married. I should
take it as kind, captain, if you would
give me some notion about this piece
of employment now, so that I could see
whether it's worth"— lie yawned
again and struggled with his heavy
eyelids. "You must understand, please,
captain, that tiuie is scarce with me. 1
must get employment at once. I can't
stand by and see my missis and young
sters hungry."
Captain Douglas swore and hit the
table with his list. "It's beastly har<l."
he said, "and 1 hate myself for bring
ing you here."
"What's that noise overhead?" vain
Kettle. "What are your crew doing on
deck?" He tried to rise, but fell back
stupidly on the sofa. A harsh bell
clanged from somewhere beneath, and
the slop slop of water came to him
through the yacht's side. "She's
swinging round in the stream, and
some one's rung "standby" to the engine
room."
"Sounds like if." the red haired man
admitted.
Again Kettle tried to rise and, with
an immense effort, tottered t • his feet,
but he had been given a drug too pow
erful for even his Iron will to fight
against, and he swayed and then
, pitched helplessly s 'leways to the car
pet.
The last flickering gleams of con
■ scioiisncss were passing away from
him, but the truth of what had hap
peiii d had flashed upon him at last.
"Shanghaied!" he murmured. "By
James, yes. shanghaied! That's what
this means Well, I pity the man that
shanghaied im By James- yes!" He j
breathed stertorously a time or two |
more, as though trying to get out other
words, and then dropped off Into a
deathly stupor.
Then the door of the stateroom creak
ed slyly open, and the red haired man
I started violently. lie turned and saw
a tall, dark woman just crossing the i
threshold. "Donna Clotilde!" he said
nervously. "I thought you were 1
ashore. Then it was by your orders"-
"That the yacht was got under
weigh? Si. senor. I saw you come on
Itoard with the man we have been
hunting for these last tv\/i years, and
as soon as the pair of you got below I
sent word to the mate to call all bauds
and get out of the Tyne as soon as the i
pilot could manage It." She knelt be

side Kettle's prostrate body and passed
iter hund caressingly over his damp
forehead "You are sure yoti !mve n'-t |
overdone it?"*she asked.
"1 ain sure of nothing like that," ho
answered grimly. "But 1 gave him the
i dose you measured out yourself; so
what's done is your own affair. I only
i added enough whisky to drown the
tasle and the Door little beggar drank
1 It all down at one mouthful."
j "1 don't see you need pity him much.
; He will be all right he wakes."
"When he wakes, it will be at sea,
! nnd I have heard him speak of his wife
j uml kids. That's why I pity him, Don-
I na Clotilde. Incidentally I'm a bit sor
ry for myself." lie stooped over the
prostrate man and took a revolver from
the back of his trousers. "Look there!
I'ou see the fellow took a gun with him,
even to Hallett's. It's grown to he a
habit with him. He's a dead shot. too.
i and doesn't mind shooting."
"I didn't think you were a coward."
"You know quite well I'm not, senor
ita, "but this Captain Kettle will re
member that I was the fellow that de
coyed liim on board, and he'll be pretty
anxious to square up the account when
he wakes."
"You are well paid on purpose to
cover any risks," said the woman, with
some contempt.
"And I shall be earning my pay," said
the red haired man doggedly. "This
small person here's a holy terror. Well,
I must lie getting on deck to see the
pilot take her down the river. Here,
I'll put him on the bed before I go.
He'll sleep it off more comfortably
there."
"You shall not touch him," said Don
na Clotilde. "1 will do all that's need
ful. I have waited fortius moment for
three long years."
"Well, you must be pretty keen on
him if you can sit by him when he docs
not know you."
"I have loved him since the first mo
ment we met, and he knows it, and 1
do not mind who else knows it also. 1
am entirely without shame in the mat ;
ter. I glory in it. lam not one of your
cold blooded European women."
"Well," lie said, "you're paying me to
run this yacht, and 1 must be off to see
the pilot takes her out of the river
without losing us any paint." And he
went out of his room and left Donna
Clotilde La Touche alone with this
man by whom she was so fiercely at
tracted.
The yacht steamed out between Tyne
pierheads, and the pilot left her in the
boat which had been towing stern first
alongside Her destination was the
Mediterranean, but she did not port
her helm at once. Instead she ln-ld on
straight out into the North sea and
then turned off to make the Mediter
ranean, north about that is. through
the l'entland and round Scotland. She
kept clear of Ireland also, making a
course for herself through the deeper
wildernesses of the north Atlantic
avoiding the north and south traffic of
the bay and, in fact, sighting scarcely
a single vessel till the red haired man
at last starboarded his helm and put
her east for the straits.
The voyage was not one of monoto
ny. Captain Kettle lay for the first
twenty-four hours in a state of snoring
unconsciousness, and when he did come
to his wits again he found himself in a
cabin alone. He got up and stretched,
llis limbs were heavy and lan.uid, but
he was not conscious of having re
ceived any hurt. He clapped a hand to
the region of his loins and nodded his
grim head significantly. llis pistol
was missing. He looked in the glass
and saw that his face above the red
torpedo beard was drawn uml white
and that his eyes were framed in
black, dissipated looking rings. There
was an evil taste in his mouth, too,
which even a bottleful of water did not
allay. However, all of these were
minor details. They might be repaired
afterward. His first requirement was
revenge on the man who had lured
him aboard.
His natural instincts of tidiness made
liiui go through the ceremony of toilet,
and then he put on his cap and, spruce
and pale, went out through the luxuri
ous cabin and passageways of the
yacht ami found his way on deck.
The time was night, the cold air was
full of moonshine, and fortune favored
him insomuch that the red haired man
whom he sought was himself standing
a watch, lie walked up to him with
out any concealment and then, swift as
light, slung out his right list, sending
every ounce of his weight after it, and
caught the red haired man squarely on
the peak of the jaw.
The fellow went down as if he had
been poleaxed and Kettle promptly on
top of him. The three other hands of
the watch on deck were coming fast to
their big captain's assistance, and Ket
tle made the most of his time. He had
been brought up in a school where he
was taught to hit hard and hit first
and keep on hitting, and, moreover, he
win, anatomically skilled enough to
know where to hit with most effect.
He had no time then for punctilious
fighting. He intended to mark his man
in return for value received, and he
did it. Then the three lusty deck hands
of the watch came up and wrenched
him off and held him for their officer
in turn to take vengeance on.
Kettle stood in their grip, panting
and pale and exultant.
"You great, ugly, red polled beggar!"
he said. "I've made your face match
your head, but you needn't thank rue
for it. You'd dare to shanghai me.
would you? By James, I'll make your
Ship a perfect lie II till I'm off it!"
"You hit a man when he's not look
ing."
"Liar!" said Kettle. "You saw me
plain enough. If you were half a sailor,
you'd never have been hit."
"You're half my size. I couldn't light
you."
"Tell your hands to set me adrift and
/ try-"
> ! The V»ijtr man was tempted, but he
swallowed down his inclination. He
i ordered the men who were holding
<"ni>t;iiii Kettle to set him free and go
> away forward again, and then he
; thmst his own fisls resolutely in his
pockets. "Now," lie said when they
were alone, "I'll own up to having
earned what you've given me, and I
hope that 'II suit you, for, by Jove, if
it doesn't, I'll shoot you like a rat with
your own gun! You've handled me in
a way no other man has done before,
and so you can tickle your pride with
that and simmer down. If you want
to know, I was a man like yourself,
hard up, and I was paid to kidnap you,
tnd I'd have kidnaped the devil for
, money just then."
"1 know nothing about the devil,"
said Kettle acidly, "but you've got me,
ami you couldn't very well find a worse
bargain. If you are not a fool, you will
set me ashore at once."
"I shall act entirely by my owner's
orders."
"Then trot out your owner, and I'll
pass the time of day with hiiu next.
I'm not particular. I'll kill the whole
Dlooming ship's company if 1 don't get
aiy own way."
"Man, don't be a fool. Y'ou can't hit
i woman."
"A woman?"
"Yes| I told you before h mi, ■ i
tilde. You know her well en . h."
"Donna C'lotilde who'r"
"La Touche."
The stiffening seemed suddenly togo
out of the little man. lie stepped wear
ily across the deck and leaned his el
fiows on the yacht's polished topgallant
rail. "By James," he murmured to the
purple arch of the night—'"By James,
that that woman! What a ruddy
mess!" And then he broke off into
dreary musing. He had known this
Donna Clotildc La Touche before; had
entered her employ in Valparaiso; had
helped her revolutionary schemes by
capturing a warship for her. In return
she had conceived a mad infatuation
for him. But all the wlule he regarded
her merely as hN employiv In the end
he had been practically set adrift at sea
in an open boat as a pcnanee for not
divorcing his own wife and marrying
her, and now she was come to add to
his other troubles by beginning to per
secute him again. It was hard, bitterly
hard.
By some subtle transference of
thought the woman in her berth below
became conscious of his regard, grew
restless, woke, got more restless,
if 1 f-m. t
iUll.y : ■

dressed, came on deck and saw this
man with whom she was so fiercely
enamored staring gloomily over the bul
warks. With her lithe, silent walk she
stepped across the dewy decks under
the moonlight and without his hearing
her leaned on the rail at his side and
tlung an arm across his shoulders.
Captain Kettle woke from his musing
with a start, stepped coldly aside and
saluted formally, lie had an eye for a
good looking woman, and this one was
deliciousl.\ handsome, lie was always
chivalrous toward the other sex, what
ever be their character, but tho
fact of his own kidnaping at the mo
ment of Mrs. Kettle's pressing need
made him almost as hard as though a
man stood before him as his enemy.
"Miss La Tojche," he said, "do you
wish me to remember you with
hatred Y'
"I do not wish you to have need to
remember me at all. As you know,l
wish you to stay with me always."
"That, as I told you before, miss, Is
Impossible for more reasons than one.
You have done me infinite mischief al
ready. 1 might have found employ
ment by this time had I stayed in
South Shields, and meanwhile mv wife
and children are hungry. Be content
with that and set me ashore."
"I repeat the offer I made you In
South America. Come with me, get a
divorce, and your wife shall have an
income such as she never dreamed of
and such as you never could have got
her in all your life otherwise. You
know 1 am not boasting. As you must
know, I am one of the richest women
In the world."
"Thank you, but I do not accept the
terms. Money is not everything."
"And meanwhile, remember, I keep
you on board here, whether you like it
or not, and until you give way to what
I want your wife may starve So if
she and your children are in painful
straits you must recollect that it is en
tirely your fault."
"Quite so," said Kettle. "She will be
content to starve when she knows the
reason."
Donna Ciotilde's eyes began to glit
ter.
"There are not many men who would
refuse if 1 offered them myself."
"Then, mis/. I must remain curious."
She stampen her foot. "I have hun
gered for you all this time, and I will
not give you up for mere words. You
will coiue to love me in time as I love
you. I tell you you will, you must, you
shall! I have got you now, and 1 will
not let you go again."

CATCHING A THIEF. *
An Old Method I tlliifd by u <* t- r man
lit China.
Thlity dollars was stolen ut the Of
ficers' clufc in Tientsin, China, and th«
members ®f the club resolved, if possi
Lie, 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 cliil>. He the* said to
them;
"Some money has been stolen here,
and lam looking for the thief 1 shall
find him In an hour, not before, since
I need that much time In order to get
Instructions from a celebrated magi
elan in Germany."
An hour later all the servants to
again summoned, but this time i
dark room, lu the middle of h
Btood the table on which the iui>uey
stolen had been laid.
"Each of you, now," said the otlicer,
"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 hands 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 the officer for discovering the cul
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was In Germany
In communion with the celebrated ma
giclan he was carefully smearing the
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 hand 9
on the table, according to bis instruc
tions, but the culprit, though super
stitious, did not do so
As a result, while the uplifted handa
of all the others were coal black, his
were of a natural color, and thus his
i guilt was clearly proved.- Detroit Fres
Press.
