"Very well, Samuel," she rcplWt, without any interest in the case, and a few minutes later the deacon was off.

This trail was no exception. Even when Deacon Has tings had followed It out of the mead ow and into the sugar bush and over on the lands of Deacon White and into a hollow log he was not sure that he lmd got lii 3 victim in a hole. He was wondering about tt when Deacon White arrived. He was also following a rabbit's trail and had been for an hour. It was a trail which started at his kitchen door and went seven times around his barn before it headed for the woods. The two rabbits had made for the same log, and thus the two deacons had come together. Then' was no trouble in arriving at an unr icable understanding. There were two deacons and two rabbits. One rabbit wcuhl be enough for either. Kaeh one carefully advanced and stopped up an end of the log. and then they took turns at wielding the ax. It had come Deacon Hastings' turn to chop, and ho was making the chips fly when the blade of the ax went through the solid wood and struck something that made a grating sound. ITe delivered three or four more blows, and the hollow of the log was opened to daylight, and the two rabbits jump ed out and tied like shadows. Neither deacon looked after them. Their four eyes bulged out at sight of an earthen jar lying on its side In the hollow. The ax had cracked it, and silver halves and dollars were pouring out. "Hy gum!" gasped Deacon White as lie struck his hands together. "By gum!" gasped Deacon Hastings as he stuck the ax in the log and reach ed for th" Jar. It had been full of silver coins. There was a hatful apiece and some left over. It was "found" money. They knew by the rust on the coins that they had reposed in the log for years and years, and it could be figured that tho owner would never turn up. The proper way would have been for each deacon to till up his hat and trou sers pocket and march home in tri umph. Hut, alas, human nature is not made that way. Before Deacon Has tings could get a second coin between his fingers Ilea con White cried out: "Stop, sir—stop where you itrel I will count my own money, if you please." "Your money!" exclaimed Deacon Hastings. "Why, we are going to share and share alike, ain't we, though 1 do hold I've got the best right to all of it? I trucked a rabbit right to this log." "So did I." "And I was chopping when the ax struck the jar." "This is my land. What is found on my land I keep, and that's always been the law." "I'll be durned if it has! Half of this money coines to me. Deacon White, I'm surprised to see you play ing the hog in this way." "I'll give you a dollar and no more. Y'ou tracked a rabbit here, but that's not worth over a dollar. Lots of folks would track 'era for uothlng." "I say I'll have half." "I say you shan't." The two deacons glared nt en.ch other across the log, while the rabbits got together a mile away and wondered What was tip. Thmi Deacon White said: "I've got a STORY OF d-CH.

A GHOST ABOARD [Copyright, 1902, by C. n. Lewis ] We had left CitpoTown .MM) miles be hind us 011 our voyage home In the English liark Kagle, \\ hen one night at midnight I came on watch, being the second mate, to find tho men of both watches standing about and discuss ing a matter in whispers. Demanding to know what was the trouble, I was told that strange, uncanny noises bad been heard in the forecastle several times during the night and that it was the general belief wo had a ghost aboard. 1 was off at 4 and 011 again at 8 next morning. The breeze had died out, and wo were on tin even keel and not making over two miles an hour. It had come St o'clock. The captain was overhauling some papers in the cabin, the men were at work 011 Jobs, and 1 was pacing the quarter and keeping an eye on a bit of sail just showing to windward when a shout of terror rang through the ship. A hand named Thomas Burns hud been Into the forepeak after something wanted 011 deck, and it was he who called out as he tumbled up and seemed for a moment to contemplate going overboard. The yell brought the captain 011 deck, and then lie was told of the strange noises of the night pre vious. Burns declared that a voice had called out to him while he was below, and others then declared they had heard 11 woman singing, but the "old man"was mad enough to kill some one. It was the captain's watch always held by the lirst mate—from midnight to 4 o'clock next morning. It had be come almost a dead calm when I left the deck. Every man of the first mate's watch was up before him, and 1 noticed that none of mine went be -1 low. What happened half an hour 1 lifter I had turned In gave the captain the greatest surprise of his life. Mr. Groat, the first mate, was pacing tho quarter when he was suddenly seized, gagged and bound, and a voice, which he recognized as the carpenter's, cau tioned lilui to be quiet or he'd go over board. All sailors are light sleepers, but the officers especially so, and why It was that neither the captain nor I woke up during the events occurring 011 deck has always been a matter of surprise. The men brought the bark to the wind, got tackles aloft and hove out the longboat, and we slept light along without hearing it sound. They tilled two breakers of water, took such provisions as the cook, who was In with them, could lay hands on, and by 1 o'clock they were away. The stew ard was the only one left behind with the officers. After the men left Mr. Grout made efforts to free himself, but without avail. He could not even roll along the deck, as he had been lashed to a ringbolt. At half past <1 o'clock the captain awoke and went 011 deck, and when the whole affair became plain to him lie nearly fell down In a fit. We were discussing the matter and the captain was cursing and raving when a strange figure emerged from the forecastle and came aft as far us the mainmast. It was the figure of a woman, but her face was so white aud pinched, her eyes so large and glassy and she reeled about in such a manner that I, who was nearest her, was ten seconds in making sure she was even a human being. The minute I caught sight of her parched lips 1 ran to the scuttle butt and got her a panlkln of water. It was only a drop to her, and she had swallowed fully two quarts before I choked her off. Then I sig naled the steward, who was now act ing as cook, and he brought a big hunk of meat and a couple ot" biscuits. SShe uto like a wolf, and it was a good half hour before we could get any explana tion. By and by we had her story. She was an Irish widow who had gone out to the Cape to marry again, but her lover had gone back on his word and left her penniless among strangers. In this emergency she had decided to stow herself away on a homeward bound ship and had selected the Eagle. The captain did not "bless" her, as I expected. lie sent her to the galley to act as cook, and I don't think he was as much put out as he pretended to be. Two days later we had half a gale uud a tumbling sea ull day and far into the night. We were under very short sail, but the bark swarmed along at a good rate of speed. The captain meant to keep our course and speak the first sail we met, ask for two or three men and touch at Sierra Leone. At sunrise of the third day I went aloft to sweep the sea, and the very first object to catch my eye was our longboat. She was to the eastward and windward of us aud bearing down ucross our course. She wasn't over three miles away, and with my glass I could identify every man. Upon reporting the boat to the cap tain he swore by the big horn spoon that he'd not take a man aboard, but when tho boat had come within hall he changed his mind, aud her crew was soon tumbled over the rail and glad to get aboard. They had gone off intend ing to make the coast, but had forgot ten to take a compass, and had been sailing almost at random. The "ghost" was there to welcome them 011 board, and when they got her story and real ized how Idiotic had been their actions no set of men were ever more disgust ed with themselves or more anxious to atone for their doings. Molly McDavls was safely landed in Liverpool, and <when we made up a purse for her that she might have time to turn around I believe the captain put In as much as all the rest of us, though he waved her ashore and called after her that he'd have the law on her If she wasn't out of Liverpool Inside of an hour.

James Whitfield, a newspaper sport- ; ing editor, who killed himself. Whitfield insured for fa, ooo, receiv ing a policy that contained a clause j specifying that 1500 only should he re covered in case of suicide. Although tiie statutes of Missouri declare that insurance companies may i not make suicide a defense in refusing ! to pay a policy, Judge Phillips held j that the pleading ot the contract in J question voluntarily entered into by the parties goes merely to the ques tion of the amount of the recovery, aud not to defeat a recovery.

Dkaic Si ii - I think that every man that has a team of horse-, or any stock, ought to have a bottle of Moyer s White Liniment in the stable or his house. I had a horse that stepped in a hole with his front foot, coming down lit*- mountain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fa>t that we could hardly get the collar off. and in two hours his neck was swollen to all tie- skin would hold. We used your White Liniment freely,and in a few day- lie wa ■ to work again. and does not show any signs of lameness. It worked like magic Respectfully Yours, •T. A. RARTHAST.
