TALES OF TJIE SEA.
WEIRD YARNS OF THE SUPERNAT
URAL SPUN BY THE CAPTAIN.
The Mkull In tho Chain Looker The t'n
lu:ky llnrk In tho Unmoral Trade That
Waa Maid tn He Haunted The Story of an
Kille From ftaleador.
Wo were eating dinner nno night on
tho old cargo ship and talking of tho
happening at sea and nu shoro that nro
called supernatural when tho enptain
said:
"Ono sons somo things at son not su
pernatural which are Otto makoa nerv
ous man son ghosts. There was that oase
in ono of Green's Uuors to the colonies,
whoro a man was sont down to clean
out thn chain looker. The looker had
sooiued foul all tho passago homo, and
so they hoisted out thn chain and sent
this fellow down with his brnsh and
snap and bucket, with a lamp, to clean
it out I'll wager ho saw ghosts for a
year after that, for when ho'd got dawn
on his knee to bruin scrubbing ho
found himsolf bending over tho skull of
a duiid man.
"It was most likoly a man that had
stowod away out in tho colony and had
boon caught undor the cabin wheu they
were running it down quickly, and so
had the lifo crushed out of him.
"However, I did know of a case that
seemed supernntnrnl right enough. It
was iu tho Domerara trado, and I was
acqualutod with the first officer of tho
bark whero it all happoned.
"In tho first place, whilo sho was out
there loaded mid ready to sail, tho cap
taiu had trouble with ono ot tho seamen,
Who drew out his knifu and stabbed him
to doath then and there. Tho niato after
ward took her home, but on tho way a
passenger took to ailing in somo mysteri
ous fiiHhiou and up and died very sud
denly. "Of course sho was a haunted ship
when she arrived home, and so tho
owners had her nmo changed, and sho
was refitted and painted up outiroly
different from what sho had been. Then
sho snilod away with a now captain, but
on tho way out bo took to drink, and by
tho timo sho reached Demurara ho was
off his head and killed himsolf with a
revolver.
"Now sho was hanutnd, sure enough,
if you could beliovo tho muto. Mind
you, after sho was rollttod the mate said
tiovor a word to tho now captain about
what had happenod in hor boforo, and
even whon a new captain cumotmt from
homo to tako ohnrgo of her, believing
that the last captain was uuturally a
drunkard, instead of onn who had taken
to it after oomlugon this ship, this first
officer never said award, because he did
not boliove in ghosts or ovon in a futuro
state.
"However, the first night the new
enptaiuwas on board tho trouble boguu.
The captain at about 0 o'clock went to
his room and retired. An hour later ho
was calling the mnto and tolling that
he had gone to sleep and then had been
awakened by a light in the room. On
opening his eyes ho saw a short; thick
set man, with side whiskers. In the
armohuirat the desk, loaning over, with
his elbows on the desk, holding his
head between his hands and aaying:
'Oh, my poor head I Oh, my poor bead I'
"That was enough for the mate. He
left the V ousel that night with all hands.
This new captain knew nothing of the
style or manner of the one who had
killed himself, and yet the picture-
ghost or what yon may eall it in the
chair was the image in appoaranoe and
dress of theanicide and had oomplained
in precisely the words and voice of the
dead man."
This brought out the story of an exile
from Salvador whom the narrator met
In Guatemala. Having got into trouble
with the authorities, Benor Don Sebas
tian Mojarieta aaved his life by fleeing
to Amapala, Honduras, as many another
exile has done, and there taking a
teamer north to San Jose, Guatemala.
A friend of his who was Involved in
like manner was to have reached Amap
ala by a different route in time for the
aame steamer, and to prevent any possi
ble delays Mojarieta engaged staterooms
and secured passes from the Amapala
authorities for his friend and himself as
soon as he arrived. But the steamer day
came without his friend, and Mojarieta
was obliged to sail alone.
"At the usual honr, on the first night
out," the story toller went on, "Mo
jarieta retired and went to sleep, but
had no sooner dozed off than he awoke,
hearing his friend's voice, as he says,
in the next stateroom, whioh he had
supposed to be empty. Leaving his berth,
he went out into the passageway and
opened the door to tho adjoining room,
and there, he says, he saw lying -in the
berth the body of bis friend fully dressed,
but with three bullet holes in tho breaBt
of his ooat and one in the right cheek.
"At that Mojarieta fainted and was
found on the deck by the steward and
put to bed again. Thereafter it was a
most mlseraliln passage, for the vessel
touched at both of tho Salvador ports
and was nliatit a week reaching Han
J i mo. Mojarieta was snro his friend had
been sjiot and expected a foroo to come
off from onoh of tho Salvador ports to
domain! him. Moreover, ho was haunt
ed continually by that picturo of his
flcad friend.
"Onoo lu Gnatnmala ho obtalnod em
ployment quickly and then began to ro
cover something of his former spirits.
Ho ascribed his vision to his over
wrought imagination and wits begin
ning to hope that his friend would yot
apM'ar when a letter was received from
a rolativo iu Salvador. It not only told
that the friend had been shot by thn
government soldiers, but described tho
wounds of thn body after it was dead.
Mojarieta declares that tho description
accurately portrayed tho vision hn had
of his friend, and hn believes that his
friend's spirit, being unalilo to rest or
wholly throw off its desiro to tako pas
sage on tho stoumer, had come on board
and whs occupying that berth." Now

AFRAIDf NOT HE.
He Merely Wanted His Wire to Hold the
Light For Him.
At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, when
all tho peoplo living on Col lego avenue
woro fast asleep, thero was commotion
in one of tho beautiful residences along
that thoroughfare It was tho homo of
a merchant, and tho commotion broko
lnoso in the slootiiig apartment of him
solf and wlfa She started it
She awakonod suddenly and thought
he heard some one trying to break in
down stairs. She shook her husband, and
after some timo had elapsed succeeded
iu making him realise the situation.
They both listened. Thero was some
noiso, snro enough, and a cold shiver
crept dowu his spinal column and ovon
to his toes.
He determined not to get scared,
though his tooth wore chattering, so he
announced that he would go down and
investigate.
"Aren't yon afraid, dear?" nervously
asked his wife.
Ho took out his revolver, struck a
ronton, lighted a lamp and then lookod
at her in disgust
"Afraid I Well, hardly. I never saw
the man yot I was afraid of. Now, don't
mako any noise, but come on."
' Tho littlo woman started iu astonish
ment "Do yon want me to go too?"
"Do I want you to go? Why, of
oourso I do. You must go ahoad and
carry tho light so I can soe to shoot Do
you think I could hit a burglar in tho
dark? Hurry up, or ho 11 be gouo. "
And that man made tho littlo woman
go ahead with tho light, while ho held
tho rovolver over her shoulder at full
cock. They traversed tho houso from
garret to collar, finally found a stray
dog scratching at tho back door and
came bank to bod Ho sat up for an
hour telling her what ho would have
dono had thero boon a burglar there.

A HARD TASKMISTRESS.
The Late) Itoalna Vokea Took Her Art
Ilather Too Herloimlj.
The late Mrs. Clay, better known as
Rosina Vokes, was a hard taskmihtress.
Ulio took her art both seriously and
rigidly and demanded the samo from
othors. A young American girl during
a one time connection with the Vokos
company suffered extremoly from a felon
on her finger. Every movumont of tho
arm gave her pain, and she was at
length obliged to evado her required
participation in "A Game of Cards, "
whore the playors clap hands, tho one
against the other. "Yon shirked your
part lasf night. Miss Blank," Mrs. Clay
took occasion to observe the following
morning.
"I did," acknowledged Miss Blank,
"for my finger is in snob a condition,
dm yon see, that present nse of it is im
possible. "
"Yon will not shirk your part to
night, however, " remarked Mrs. Clay,
with an ominous gleam in her eye. The
young American knew only too well
that further remonstrance would prob
ably result in her dismissal, so nothing
more was said. That night, aooording
to orders, she, with infinite pain, clap
ped hands briskly. At the first touch
the blood gushed from her suffering
finger; but, although her partner waa
Mrs. Clay, neither reference nor apology
waa made by that exacting star either
then or afterward. "Still it was splen
did training, " said the young actress in
later years. But to impartial, unprofes
sional outsiders such "training" smack
'of tyranny. New York Advertiser.

Statistics have upset anothor old
proverb. We must no longer believe
that "a groen Christmas makes a fat

80 years in England prove that a cold

" THE LANGUAGE OF FINGERS.
Their Silent Talk In Important In Hoard of
Trada Traneavtlnne.
Thousands of 'visitors who yearly go
to tho board of trado and watch tho
traders on tho exnhatigo floor from tho
pnblio gallery express surprise at tho
rapid manner In which luminous is trans
acted. As a rule, tho wheat pit attracts
them, and they do not understand how
commodities change hands with such
lightning rapidity, and how hmidmdsof
thousands and millions of IiiihIioIh are
bought and sold in an incredibly short
space ot timo is to tho novice n pro
found mystery. They do not know that
thn brokers do a great deal of their work
by finger signs, seldom understood by
the ontsidor.
It requires only tho fraction of a seo
ond to buy and sell G0,000 buHhels of
wheat.
"I'll sell CO.'Sep. at nn eighth,"
(Ties ono of thn brokers, and ho him
hardly flniHhed rfpciiking beforn another
on tho opposite sido yolls "Hold. " The
trade is put down on tho trading card,
and tho transaction, which involves over
3(),000, has boon completed.
Tho number of bushels offorod for salo
is indicated by holding up one finger for
each 6,000 bushels. So in selling SO, 000
bushels tho broker simply holds up both
hands and waves thorn from him, whioh
explains itself as wanting to di.spoMo of
tWi lot In addition to this, brokers
hove a completo finger oodo by which
tho condition of tho market is coiniiin
uicatod. The signs generally nsed aro
as follows:
Tho first flngoT held np stands for
ono-oighth of 1 cent, as the traders all
know the main price. If, for Instance,
the first salo of wheat after the market
opened was made at 00 conts and the
noxt at OOJtf oeuts, the trader simply
holds np one finger for thn advanen of
ono-uighth of 1 cent The upward posi
tion of the finger is to show thn npward
course of tho market Should the market
be bearish and tho price decline to 50
cents, the signal for this would bo a
closed hand, with the thumb pointing
downward. This shows the price seven
eighths of a cent and the status of the
markot downward. Chicago Tribune.
AN ABSENTMINDED MAN.
He Went Finning and Forgot That It Was
Ilia Wedding liar.
The Rev. George Hurv.st, minister of
Thames Ditton, a great scholar and
skillful fisherman, was ono of thn most
absentminded men of his time. Ho was
engaged, to a daughter of tho bishop of
London, but on the day of his wedding,
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly of
feuded at his neglect, broke off the
match. With Arthur Onslow, tho
speaker of the houso of commons, Mr.
Harvest was on terms of great intimacy.
Being one day in a punt together on tho
Thames, ho began to read a beautiful
dassage from somo Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river, whence he was with
difficulty fished ont
When Lord Sandwich was canvassing
for the vice chancellorship of Camhridgo,
Harvest, who had been his schoolfellow
at Eton, went down to give him his
vote. In a large company the two were
joking together on their schoolboy tricks.
Tho parson suddenly exclaimed,
"Whonce do you derive your nickname
of Jimmie Twttcber?" "Why," an- .
swered his lordship, "from somo foolish
follow." "No, no," interrupted Liar-
vest, "it isn't some but everybody that,
calls you so."
When this gontleman'smind waa not
absent, it was, however, very useful to.
him. Having lost himself at Calais, and
not being able to speak a word of
French, he managed to oonvey to the.
inhabitants that he was staying at the
Silver Lion by putting a shilling in his.
mouth and setting himself in the atti

Indiana Tracking.
It was a most strange and interesting
experience to see the Indian read all the
signs ot the different animals in the
grass or among the woods with the
tame ease as we read an open book. The
least disarrangement in the grass or
ticks, however small, was enough.
Glancing casually at it in passing, he
would say: "Bear a week old. " "Yes
terday." "Deer this morning." "Very
old. " "Caribou last month, " and so
on. It was wonderful to behold this
instinct in a man.
I had for a long time been following
this trail of the moose, which I thought
was a fresh trail, when I got tick of it
and began to cross examine Mr. Big
Partridge as to how far off our quarry
was likely to be. Big Partridge them
showed that he waa sick of the imagi
nary moose hunt himself and owned up
"Old trail; all moose nipoh" that is,
dead. He had only been leading me
about in this way to amuse me, know
ing it useless the whole time. He ex
