excellent tigure and was witty and

crowd numbered about fifteen men.
Twelve of tie -c were young men or
widowers, while the remainder were
married men whose wives were ill Eng
land or India. It was the money crowd
of the ship.
When the -hip had been out about

a matter of surpri to every one, «s

the vr los were not at home to me.
She ; d coiiiid d to me that she found
uie congenial, but there seemed to lie
some mistake bout that after 1 had
decided to lose no more money.

crowd was dissolved. One after an
other withdrew as he was cleaned out
of his spare cash, and Mi l'lemming
was certainly several thousand dollars
to the good.
Soon after (!•• poker g itnc- ceased
we wi : treated to several sensations
in succession. The lirst was the disap
pearance of several diamond rings and
a brai • let wh, had been left on the
piano by a playi r. Alter a little it was
found that the ewelr.\ had been taken
w hi I- ,ly - x J.I pie were in the cab-
In. I'i r i'f the- were married ladies,
the li ft Ii was M •- l'lemming and the
sixth a \ ling i .an The cabin was
turned up- de *1 - n in the search, but
the missing valt: tbl- could not be
found. Then eveiy one of the six per
sons demanded that ins or ln-r -tate
rooin and lugga; b • sear< - hed. but the
captain I"-la-d i . m .- up l»> suggest
ing that • u» of he servants w i- the
thief and that the plunder would in
time be recovered.
Three clays later a married woman
had a more sensational complaint to
make I luring her temporary absence
from her stateroom s,,tiie one entered
It and stole <:,ii(i in cash, a gold watch
and a costly pin. ller stateroom was
unly two doors below mine, and at the
time named 1 had caught n glimpse of
Pome one entering it. I just got sight
nt a -kirt, but I was sure in my own
mind that it was one I had seen Miss
l'lemming wear.
The bold robbi'rv was a shock to
♦•very one No one's belongings would
be safe until the thief was discovered
It was natural to tirst suspect the serv
ants, and the captain bad them before
him In sinve -ion ami tried his best to
tlx the guilt While this was going
on the mate and stewardess were
searching quarters and baggage, but
no trace of the plunder could be found.
Some thought the thief had thing the
stlltT overboard to - s. ape detection, but
the majority settled down to the b"
lief that one of the passenger- was tin*
guilty party.
Many who had jewelry and small
sums of money hasb-iwd to the pur- r,
und people began 1001. ng at each other
111 an unpleasant waj One half prob
ably suspected the other half, but that
wasn't discovering lite criminal I fell
sure I could give a good guess ns to
who It w as. but guessing and declaring
are two different things Miss l'lem
ming was loud in her indignation and
feverish in her anxiet\ The average
detective would have reasoned that
rather overdid it.
Four dii.v- later another stateroom
was entered and more jewelry taken,
and right in the midst of the sensa
tlon a lady missed a pair of diamond
earrings which »Le had put out to
••lemi iSo i/ri-it w m the indignation
and so intense tin* desire to catch tin
thief that all passengers and servants
were held together on deck while a
Bean h was made of • verything below
This search was most thorough and
exhaustive but not one of the missing
valuables was located It was, how
ever, the end of the thieving, as every
thing In the line «,f jewelry was locked
up in the purser's sab The remainder
of the voyage was anything but com
fortable. as every one felt that he
might be under suspicion, and then*
were very few farewells exchanged at
the parting.
I went up the country to Allahabad
and had been theiv six months when
an Englishman was arrested for trying
to defraud a bank of a large amount of
money. It was my province as a uews
paper man to write up the affair and
later onto come lit contact with the ,ac
eused. Ihe instant I saw him 1 asked
if his name was l'lemming and If his
sister hadn't come out to India on the
Iron I Mile He laughed heartiU at the
question, but did not answer it until he
found there was evidence enough to
send him to prison for a long term.

sentence had expired. A year before
his death he escaped, donned female at
tire again and was finally found serv

maid.

Aii < ikini-oini business man got mad
at the editor of a local paper about
- uiH'thim. which appeared in print and
notitied the editor that he would in fu
ture have his printing done at a job of
tioe where the\ didn't have i paper to
roast everybody. He thought, ol course,
the paper would have to quit business,
lint it kept going.
In about two months the man's
daughter was married, and they had a
big wedding, but not a line appeared
in the paper. Later on his wife gave a
reception to visitors, but not a line ap
peared In print
Later on the man's youngest child
died, but the editor apparently didn't
know it. The next fall a mass meeting
was held in town to see about public
Improvements, and this business man
made a big speech. The meeting was
written up In full, except this man's
Speech. This was skipped. Then the
business man called and asked the edi
tor what he had against him.
"Von got mad last year." was the re
ply, "and said you were going to have
your work done at the job printing of
fice, so I thought I'd just let your job
printer print the account of your daugh
ter's wedding, your wife's reception,
your child's obituary and your little
speech."—Enid (Kan i Events

Tom Hood, says the licnver Times
"You will think." lie wrote to her in
one of his letters, "that I am more
foolish than any boy lover, and 1 plead
guilty. I'or never wits a wooer so
young of heart and so steeped in love
as 1, but it is a love sanctified and
strengthened by long years of exp- ri
em* 1 . May Cod ever bless my darling
the sweetest, most helpful angel who
ever stooped to bless a man."
"I want thee much." Nathaniel Haw
thorne wrote to his wife many years
after his long patience had won for him
the flower "that was lent from heaven
to show the possibilities of the human
soul." "Thou art the only person In
the world that ever was necessary to
rue. And now I am onh myself when
thou art within my reach."
The wedded life of W irdsworth with
his cousin, "the phantom of delight,"
was a poem more exquisitely beautiful
than any his pen ever wrote "All that
she has bei n to me," the poet ollce said
in his latter days, "none but Cod and
myself can ever know."

iiur ancestors transacted a good deal
of business of one kind or another In
and about their churches. To begin
with, the churches of old England in
turbulent times were regarded as
places of safe custody for public and
private property. In the border land
o! Kiigland anil Scotland the idea was
carried out still more completely, and
churches, or at least their towers, be
came regular fortresses and not in
frequently were objects of offense and
defense. We may note in rural Eng
land that in the case of ancient church
es the towers are often not merely dis
proportionate in size to the rc-t of the
church, but are carefully and strongly
built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive
doors and often contain a massive
treasure cliest. Hither*, at the first
alarm, money and valuables were hur
ried. for beyond the security of thick
walls and bars ami bolts there was an
ngis of sanctity which in a supersti
tlmis age protected the building from
the most ruthless of foes. The fortress
like construction of many of the bor
der land churches is an interesting
study of antiquarians. London Stand

TLIE Dahlia I u Hngl'iuil.
The dahlia has become popular
among English gardeners. In the wild
plant the flowers are single, with a dull
ray and yellow disk. The varieties of
the cultivated forms are almost end
less.
The original w as discovered In Mexi
co b\ Vincent Cervantes aliout 1754
ami was tirst brought to the botanic
gardens of Madrid, and the same year
it was introduced into England by the
then Marchioness of l'.ute The plant
became extinct in Itritaiu. It was
again brought there in l*ol, and in
that year i- found the earliest men
tlon of the dahlia, named from Andrew
I Mill, a Swedish botanist and pupil of
I.inmcus.
In Mexico the tubers are cultivated
as food on ii e, oil lit of the quantity of
ititilin they contain, but in Europe,
though many times tried, they never
became popular.

Wlii'ii Amos Allu via's ;f• • had died
In' had pei suaded a younger brother to
"mow in and inn tin' farm they
were two miles out of town and l.»raee,
who w;h tli' ti fifteen. was sent east to
a .voting ladies' seminary, i Hiring her

mity between tin' Albrights and Win
tons grew dim a nil shadow y Win n,
ou the day following graduation, she
was iii\ ited to spend aw • «'k at a class
mate's home it was with no feeling of
apprehension that she heard ln-r friend
say, "Hrother George has asked Jack
Wlntoii to come down with him from
Harvard, und we shall be quite gay."
The Wintons that sin- knew had a
son, but his name was John. This
young man proved to be well built, self
possessed and i lear of skin, and John
Winton had been a long. lank, freckled
boy, very bashful, she remembered.
To be sure there was a certain drawl
in her new acquaintance- speech,
which reminded her of "that boy," but
perhaps all Wintoiis were slow spoken.
The four young people thoroughly
enjoyed the week they spent together,
and it was with delight that Jack Win
ton discovered on the eve of his de
parture that Mi-s Albright's destina
tion was the same a> his own. "I'm
glad that we travel together," he said.
"Yes," Grace assented hesitatingly.
Jack's face tlushed, and he turned to
his host with the explanation, "Miss
Albright has just recognized an old en
emy in your humble servant."
"Oh. nor' Craei; protested. "If our
fathers are foes we need not be." And
she lipid out her hand to him, with a
friendly little gesture
I Miring the three days' journey wi -t
--ward their friendship progressed rap
Idly. They were in the midst of one of
many animated conversations when
Mr. Amos Albright boarded the train
at X., a station some thirty miles from
Ilighmeail Craee -aw him coming
down the aisle.
"There is father," she said hurriedly
"Ile'll not recognize you, I'm sure! 1
believe I'll introduce you as Mr. Jack."
When Mr. Albright bent to kis- his
daughter's upturned face he looked
keenly at the young mail beside her.
"Mr. Jack, father." Grace murium>d
1 ami Mushed guiltily when the two
men shook ha nils gravely, and Jink
offered the newcomer his seat
"I'll move opposite," he .-aid in his
pleasant drawl, "if yon don't object."
Before they reached Highuiead lie
found himself drawn into tile conversa
tion* To his daughter's delight Mr. Al
bright seemed to enjoy talking with
her friend. "Sensible young man!" he
said to Grace when Jack went into the
smoking car just before the train pull
ed into iiighnicad. <>n the homeward
drive he spoke of him again "I've sel
dom met a young man,"he said, ";H
Intelligent as Mr. Jack Queer name,
isn't itV If my ey» -w. re shut while he
was talking I'd declare he was Win
ton."
"lie is, father," Grace confessed "He
is Mr. Jack Winton."
Amos Albright looki-d at hi- daugh
tor for a moment in dumb amazement.
"I'm sorry." lie said at last, "but that
set til S him."
Jack Winton refused to be thus sum
marily "settled." The mvt day he
came to i all and was received so coldly
by his unwilling host that lie knew at
once that his identity had been re
Vealed.
"Mr. Albright," he said in hi- delib
erate way, "I'm Winton. as you've ev:
dently discovered, but the W nitons are
not such a bad lot, after all. Aren't
you a bit prejudiced?"
"Not a whit more than your father
Is." Mr. Albright said stiffly.
"Yes, 1 know. Mother and Sue hadn't
a word to say when I spoke of calling
here, luit the pater raised a storm al
most forbade tne to come lb-ally, now.
what have you against me the Win
ton slowness?"
"Yes. I hate a laggard in anything
That's enough to condemn you, sir! My
daughter can receive you, if she wishes,
whenever you may call, but I must ask
you to excuse me now and always." A
chilling request, but Jack went away
happy in the thought that Grace still
considered him as a friend and had
asked him to come again.
In spite of the enmity between the
heads of the two houses Mrs. Winton
and her daughter were exchanging
cal's with Grace Albright before the
Hunni"- waned Amos \lbrhrht "-till
disapproved of Jack, though he could
discover nothing objectionable in Ids
conduct. The young man seemed to
be an able assistant to Ins father, who
was at the head of a well established
business "Blood will t. 11," he to
himself, "and the old Winton slowness
will crop out s<line day " When Jack
came one evening in October with the
not unexpected request for his daugh
ter's hand, he said Impressively "If
Grace hives you, and -In- imagines she
does, i w ill consider your proposal care
fully You may call tomorrow morn
ing at •! o'clock, and I will let you

"Six .'clock!" Jack exclaimed. A

Poetry II ml Science*
Poetry has perhaps no place in the
exact science-, partly because exact
ness is incompatible with poetic license,
partly because of the unalterable tend
ency of the poet to get things wrong.
A curious example of this was noticed
in a lecture at the Camera club by Mr.
Duncan on cuttlefishes. The modern
cuttlefish is a di scemlaiit of the fossil
belemuite, but the only descendant of
the coeval ammonite is the paper nau

"I'd have went to Ike's funeral my

rxplained thus to his understanding,
"only the lest of the folks wanted to
po, and I didn't like to close up the
place on account of the postotlice. I
was down to Ike's when the great
damp breath blew his lamp out. I set
up with him two or three nights along
at the hist."
"lie was a close friend of yours?"
I asked.
"Well," sighing explosively, "there
ain't much doubt he was considerable
close, and we was always friends, liiiu
and me I had a feeling of sympathy
for him during the last years of h;>
life 1 , too—sort of an admiration for
him, because he took his medicine like
a man 'Tnin't every male human that
does."
"Then In- had long been an invalid - .'"
"No; that ain't the idea. He wasn't
sick a great while. The story dates
back nigh onto twenty years, when
him and Ezra I'.riggs was rivals for the
hand of Martha Telford. 'Twas nip
and tuck between 'em, but Ezra finally
won the match. Ike was fool enough
to get mad about it, and when his pa
died, leaving among his' Other effect> a
mortgage on the old I'.riggs place where
Ezra was living, his parents both being
defunct, lie foreclosed the thing and
made a regular dickens of a bad mess
Ezra could liavi paid if he'd had an
other six months, bnt Ike wouldn't
wait. That was the beginning of a
mighty hard time for Ezra. Nothing
he touched after that seemed to pros

children conic at last to live in a house
not much better tliaji a shanty down by
the mill yonder, and the woman's love,

took sick and died. I've heard tell there
ain't much female love that's proof
against poverty .eiig drawn out, and
heaps of what parses for real honest
affection leaks away through the worn
out places in woman's cloth's.
"It's my opinion that Martha wasn't
a real comfortable person to live with
during the last two or three years of
Ezra's life. I've got a suspicion, more
or le s founded on !'act. that she was
sourer than the dregs of vinegar and
that her patience suit of shot off like a

er's disease of ». Miething or other that

didn't keep up after that, just poked
around and groaned till tie- trouble

much, but I've got a notion he was

"Hut I was worrying unduly. How
ever much l,e may have been figuring
on revenge, there wasn't no bloody vio
lence mixed into his figuring. He did
give the community sort of a shock,
though, such as 'twas Most of us
con Id u t understand then why he done
as he did, but it > ;,s clear as molasses
to ine now.
"The river yonder five years ago
last March got on a ripping tear owing
to a sudden thaw, and among other
things it done It swooped down across
Ike's barnyard and carried off n lot of
live stock and things, including Ike
himself, who was trying to rescue a
valuable ram he'd paid a big price for
at the state fair.
"He went along with the flood and

would have it Ezra heard hi in yelping
for help and dragged himself out of
the house, w here he was staying alone
with his disease while Martha washed
dishes up to the li"tel over at Rottom
village.
"Now, 'twould have been no more
than natural for a man in Ezra's po

like -i\tv Some of those people who
fly around the fastest do the least
