essentially a man of netion.
Cautiously In* found his way to the
steward's storeroom, tilled a case with
meat tins and biscuit and then, coming
on deck again. stowed it away in the

like a parcel of caN .is the ropes ren

whistle fioin the ottieei of the watch,
and half a dozen men from various
parts of the deeks came bounding
along to interfere.
< apt a ill Kettle let go both falls to
overhaul i-s they chose and picked up a
gletn heart belaying pin out of the pin
tail and stotsl on the defensive. Hut
the forward fall kinked and jammed,
and. though the little man fought like
a demon to keep «• ft' the watch till he
got it clear, they were lui many for
li!ui and drove liiui t > the deck by

struggling, and hustled him otT below,
whether he liked it or no.
i ue lifeboat dangled, half swamped,
from the forward davit tackle, and all
hauiN had to be piped before they
could get it on board again, and by
the time they had completed this job
there was another matter handy to oc
i upy their attention. A tireuiau came
up from below, white faced and trem
bling.
"I he yacht's half full of water!" he
said.
Now that their attention wns called
to it they noticed the si way she
rode the water.
"She must have started a plate or i
something." the tin-man went on ex- 1
citedly. "We g>t both bilge pumps

"Carpenter," sang out the red haired ,
man. "come below with me and see if

way to the companion. Between decks

about under the flooring. It seemed a
bad, an almost hopeless, case.
Instinctively the red haired man went !
to his own room to jtocket his valua- ;
bles, and bv a chance he was moved to
lift up the door of the tloor which cov- i
ered the bath beneath it. Ah, there :

erty.
But others, it seems, besides those
already mentioned in this narrative,
were taking a lively interest in the
smart yacht and her people. She was
at anchor in the bay of the Biff coast,
and the gentry who inhabited the
beach villages and the villages in the
hills behind the beach had always
looked upon anybody and anything
they could grab as their just and law
ful prev. The sultan of .Morocco, the
warships of France. Spain and else
where and the emissaries of other pow
ers had time after time endeavored to
school them in the science of civiliza
tion without effect, and so they still
remain today the only regularly prac
ticing pirates in the western world.
The yacht was sighted first from the
hills, was reported to the lieach vil
luges and was reconnoitcrcd under cov
er of night by a tiny tishing boat. The
report was pleasing, and word went
around Bearded brown men collected
at an appoint* % >;u>t, eacli with the
; arms to which he was best accustomed,
and when darkness fell four large
boats were run down to the feather
edge of the surf. There was no inde
cent hurry. They did their work with
method and carefulness, like men who
are used to it, and they arrived along
side the yacht at :& a. in.and conti
dently expected to take her by sur
prise.
But the crew of the yacht, thanks to
Captain Kettle's vagaries, were not in
the habit of sleeping oversoundly.
They never knew what piece of dan
gerous mischief their little captive
might turn his willing hand to next,
and,, as a consequence, when the an
chor watch sang out his tirst alarm
not many seconds elapsed before every
hand aboard was on deck. The yacht
was well supplied with revolvers and
cutlasses, and half a minute sufficed to
get these up from below and distrib
uted. so that when the Kiffians at
tempted to board the defenders were
quite ready to do them battle.
Be this how it may, however, there
is no doubt as to which side got the
first advantage. The yacht's low fore
board made but a small obstacle to a
climber from the large boats along
side, and neither the deck hands nor the
stokehold crew were any of them
trained fighting men. In their prentice
hands the kicking revolvers threw high
and were only useful as knuckle dus
ters. and till they had thrown Ihetn
down and got their cutlasses into play
they did lia» - dly any execution to speak
about The IlilT men. on the other
hand, had been bred and born in the
atmosphere of skirmish and made
ground steadily
At an earl} - point of the scuffle Cap
tain Kettle came on deck with a cigar
In his mouth and hands in his pockets
and watched matters with a critical in
terest. iiut did not offer to interfere
one way or the other. It was quite a
new sensation to him to watch an ac
tive fight without being called upon to
assist or arbitrate.
And then came up from below Don
na Clotilde La Touche. dressed and
weaponed, and without a hit of hesita
tion she flung herself into the turmoil.
She saw Kettle standing on one side,
but neither besought nor commanded
him. She would have died sooner than
ask fur his help and then be met with
a refusal.
Into the melee she went, knife and
pistol, and there is no doubt that her
example and the fury of her rush ani
mated the yacht's crew and made them
stronger to drive the wall of their as
sailants back. To give Donna Clotilde
her due, she was as brave as the brav
est man, and, moreover, she was a cer
tain shot at moderate range. Hut after
her revolver was empty and the press
loosed around her it was not long be
fore an expert hand twisted the knife
from her grasp, and then the end came
quickly. An evil smelling man noted
her glorious beauty and marked her
out as his especial loot. He cl; pped a
couple of sinewy arms round her and
bore her away toward the bulv, arks
and his boat.
Some one had switched on the elec
tric deck lights, and the light was in a
glow of radiance. Everything was to
be clearly seen. Donna Clotilde was
being dragged, resisting, along the
decks, and Kettle looked on placidly,
smoking his cigar. She was heaved up
on the bulwarks, in another moment
she would be gone from his path for
ever.
Still her lips made no sound, though
her great black eyes were full of wild
entreaty. But the eyes were more
than Kettle could stand. He stooped
and picked up a weapon from among
the litter on deck and rushed forward
and gave a blow, and the ruffian dTop
ped limply, and Donna Clotilde stood
by the yacht's bulwark, breathless and
gasping.
"Now, you get away below." he or
dwred curtly. "I'll soon clear this rab
ble o\er the side."
He watched to see her obey him. and
she did it meekly. Then lie gave his
attention to the tight, lie broke a
packet of cartridges which lay on the
deck planks, picked up and loaded a
revolver and commenced to make him
self useful to the yacht's crew, and
from that moment the fortune of the
battle turned.
Captain Owen Kettle was (and is) a
beautiful tighter, and this v. as Just his
fight. Against his cool headed ferocity
the ltitliaus gave way like sand before
waves He did not miss a b!>>\\ ; he did
not wast • a shot. All his cl. .!'■» went
home with the deadliest effect. His
voice, too. was a splendid ally. The
yacht's crew had been doing their ut
most alr<-ad\ They had been lighting
for tin ir bare lives But \v iih Kettle's
poisonous tongue to lash them they did
far more They riged like beasts at

had gone they threw after them i t

ink' a moment's respite, they picked up
their revolvers again, loaded them and
kept up a spattering, ill aimed lire till
the bouts were out of reach. Then
when they turn..! t«> look to their own
killed and hurt th»\v found a new crisis
nwaiting tliein.
Captain Kettle was on ttie top of tlit:
deckhouse, which served as a navlgat
ing bridge, ostentatiously closing tqj
tlie breach of his revolver after reload
ing it. lie wished for a hearing, and
In another moment she would he ijonc.
after what they had seen of his deadly
marksmanship they gave it to him
without demur. His needs were sim
ple. He wanted steam as soon as the
engineers could give it to him, and he
intended to take the yacht into Gibral
tar right away. Had anybody an ob
jection to raise?
The red haired man made himself
spokesman. "We should have togo to
Gib anyway," said he. "Some of us
want a doctor badly, and three of us
want a parson to read the funeral
service. Whether you can get ashore
once we do run into Gib, captain, is
j our own concern."
"You can leave that to me safely,"
said Captain Kettle. "It will be some
thing big that stops me from having
mv own way now."
The men dispersed about their du
ties, and the decks were hosed down
and the deck lights switched off. After
awhile Donna Clotikle came gliding up
out of the darkness and stepped up the
ladder to the top of the deckhouse.
Kettle regarded her uneasily.
To his surprise, she knelt down, took
his hand and smothered it with burn
ing kisses. Then she went back to the
head of the ladder. "My dear," she
said, "I will never see you again. I
made you hate me, and yet you saved
my life. I wish 1 thought I could ever
forget you."
"Miss La Touelie," said Kettle, "you
will find a man in your own station
one of ttiese days to make you a prop
er husband, and then you will look
back at this cruise and think how
lucky it was you so soon sickened and
kicked me away from you."
She shook her head and smiled
through her tears. "You are generous,"
she said. "Goodby. goodby, my dar
ling! Goodby!"
Then she went down the ladder, and
Captain Kettle never saw her again.
A quartermaster came up and took
the wheel. The windlass engine had
been clacking, and the red haired man,
who had constituted himself tempora
ry mate, called out from forward, "All
gone."
"Quartermaster," said Kettle.
"Yes, sir," said the quartermaster.
"Xor'-nor-west and by west."
"Xor'-no'west, no'west it is, sir," said
the quartermaster briskly.
INFAMY'S SUCCESS.
Bit •( Huconnefr History Connected
With u Havana Theater.
The Tacon theater in Havana, one of
the largest and most famous in the
western hemisphere, was built by an
old reprobute, Marti, who was a no
torious pirate in his day and obtained
Immunity lor himself by betraying his
comrades into the hands of the Span
ish authorities. One dark and rainy
night Marti slipped by the sentry
guarding the palace in Havana and
entered the apartments of the captain
general, who was writing at a table.
When the governor general raised his
eyes and saw the cloaked llgure before
him, he reached for the bell.
"Stop, your excellency!" cried the
stranger. "I um here on a desperate
enterprise. I have come to deliver into
your hands every pirate on the Cuban
coast upon one condition- a pardon for
myself."
"You shall have It,"was the answer.
"But who are you?"
"I am Marti, and 1 rely upon the
promise you have given me."
Preparatory to this Interview Marti
had appointed a rendezvous for the
different bands, to which he conducted
the Spanish force, and every pirate
was captured and righteously garroted.
As for Marti, he was not only par
doned, but was given a monopoly of
the sale of fish In Havana, which made
him a rich and thus eminently respected
citizen, who ended his days In the odor
of sanctity.—Army and Navy Journal.
The World's (ireutest Choir.
Russia boasts of the world's greatest
choir. It is in the cathedral of Alex
ander Nevskl in St. Petersburg and is
attached to a convent erected in honor
of the patron saint of Russia. Its mem
bers are all monks chosen from the
best voices in all the Russian monas
teries. When a fine singer appears
among the novitiates, he is sent to the
monastery of Alexander Nevski, where
he Is trained as carefully as an ojiera
singer and remains there, doing noth
ing except assisting at the music at
mass in the morning and vespers in the
afternoon until lie becomes aged, when
lie retires on a pension. Some of the
voices are of marvelous strength and
sweetness, and it l> said that some
members of the choir can shatter a
thin glass into fragments by singing
into it, • i powerful are the vibrations
of their t<»u<• <. '1 lie monks are all vege-
<*i cat meat. The
rules of the church forbid them to
shave, and their hair is worn like u

didn't they wait for yon, Joe?"
"She didn't," said the stalwart man.
"She wrote me kind letters at first and
tried to diet i me when 1 complained of
not finding any tiling to do, but after six
months they changed, and alter awhile
then- were no more. I kept on hunting
employment and trying to keep out of
had company until a notice that she
was going to bring suit for divorce on
grounds of desertion and failure to sup
port was served on me. After that I

| don't mind telling you, hoy s, that I
cried for the child. Many a night I've
dreamed 1 felt his little arms about my
neck, and when 1 awoke and missed
him I've cried like a child. 1 heard
three months ago that my wife had
married the man that had courted her
first. 1 didn't much Name her, but I
bated to let him rule my little one. It
nearly drove me crazy.
"I've been in hard luek ever since I
lost my Job in thiiMittlc town In Ohio.
I've tried hard to yet on my feet. You
know how it is. Rut here 1 am. Along
about a week before Christmas 1
couldn't stand it any longer. 1 felt that
1 must see that kid. I couldn't have
raised s."> to save my life. Rut 1 haven't
been beating around this country for
nothing, and I got over to Ohio on a
side door I'lillman without much trou
ble.
"There wasn't any datiger of being
recognized in the town where I had
spent the happiest year and a half of
my life. When 1 was there, 1 was well
dressed and aeted as though the earth
and the fullness thereof were mine.
Now 1 go at a different gait, and I
didn't take the trouble to pull my old
hat over my face. The poor clothes
would discourage any interest. So they
did. 1 parsed some old neighbors on
the street, hut they didn't give me a
glance. You may imagine that 1 hadn't
a light heart that < hristmas eve. It
wasn't the sort of a return 1 had
thought about all day and dreamed
about at night, but I braced up, for I
had made up my mind that I would see
the baby. They couldn't deny me that.
"I made straight for the house of the
man my wife had married. It was a
cottage set hack from the street a lit
tle, among evergreen trees. It was a
better home than 1 ever could have
provided for them. My heart softened
a little toward my wife as I opened the
gate. One eould not blame her, after
all. She was a good woman, but a
light one, one of those who never get
beneath the surface of things. She
may have believed that I wasn't doing
my level bc-t to get something together
for the bahv and her. though <Jod
knows I did Mj hunger was not for
her, but t he baby.
"A light shone from one of the side
windows. I made my way around to
the tree that cast its shadow on the
window A terrible thought came to
me as I put out my hand to lean
against the tree. It had never seemed
to tne that the baby could be dead.
What if it were? l felt as though some
one had struck me a fearful blow. It
was so sudden and so strong that I
staggered and gripped the tree harder.
Then 1 got courage to look at the win
dow.
"A boy stood with his back to me.
lie was watching the woman, once my
wife, who was clearing the table. She
spoke to him, and as she leaned over
him I caught sight of her face, changed
very little since 1 met her first, three
years ago. Women like that get few
lines on their faces. They can't suffer
much. The Imy still stood with Ills
curly, yellow poll toward the window.
I remember thinking in a stunned kind
of way that all the sunshine of my life
was imprisoned in that little head. I
prayed for the first time in my life, and
God answered my prayer. The little
fellow turned around and pressed his
rosy face to the window. It was my
boy, bigger and stronger and older
than when I kissed him goodby two
years ago It was the same sweet baby
face, and he was smiling.
"lie must have discerned some shape
in the darkness, for he puckered his
little lips Into a suppressed 'Oh!' Ills
mother came to the window and drew
down the shade. It was tho second
time she had shut out all the light from
my life. That was all, boys. I felt for
a minute that I would cut my throut
and let them find my body on the door
step for a Christmas pi t sent. Then It
cauie to me that I ought to come back
to this place. A man has promised me
work as soon as the winter is over. I
thought I would wait for it, for, fel

Aniirnl Trades I niouat.
Seven thousand years ago there were
trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon,
and so strict were their rules that in
some cases the penalty of death was
Inflicted for Infringing them. Each
man's work was strictly defined, and
even the number of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated In the
charter of his guild or union. Later
exactly the same state of affairs ex
isted in Pompeii, and inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap
pointments of ofiiclals to trades unions.
The most powerful of these appears
to have been that of the Fishermen's
guild.

utlve heads
Many a business mini breaks ttown
trying to sup|ili rn<-nt the work of in
competent heads of depiu tmeiits situ
lily because hi- does not know how to
choose the right men. A mini of . ..in
matidlnK ability tlo.-s not worrv him
self over details. He innkt-s out his
programme and then selects men who
ran carry It out to the letter Indeed
It is a sign of weakness for the head
of a concern to l«>ther alM»ut little de
tails. It shows that he la.-ks the tu
night, the l.usliit'ss sagacity, the abili
ty, to select and to manage men who
can do things efficiently
Many heads of large concerns spend
little time In their offices. They travel
or remain at home, l.ut the business
goeH 011 llk>- clockwork simply because
they know how to select uit-n who can
efficiently tlo the work assigned to
them.
It Is a great art to duplicate oneself
lu another and multiply oneself many
times by selecting thorn* who are vast
ly superior to ourselves, but who did
not happen to have had our opportuni
ty to do the thing themselves.—Sue

A Poverty Queen.
Partly owing to the fact that she was
wedded to an avaricious kini{ and part
ly because she was generous with the
little money allowed her Elizabeth of
York, queen of Henry VII., spent but a
email amount for dress She was very
often in debt, and the sums she spent
were ridiculously small, 20 shillings ($5)
being the greatest amount expended at
any one time. Her gowns were mend
ed and turned, ami new waists were
made for them, as Is shown by the rec
ord of bills paid to her tailor. These
bills prove that she wore her clothes
for a long time, for her gowns were
obliged to lie newly hemmed, and also
that, though a princess of the great
house of riantagenet, she w t re shoos
costing but 24 cents, which were d«->-o
--rated with tin buckles:
