i i; THE ARTIST'S STORY.
TTTtTTTtTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTtTTTTTTTTI
Doubtless, tnost uptown New York
erV remember a distinguished looking
mail who used to ride In Central Park
every morning last spring and sum
mer on a magnificent cream-white
Arabian stallion. Be that as it may,
It is, certain his advent caused quite
a flutter of curiosity. I have known
him since we were boys together
boys in a little North of England town
He's in South Africa, now and will
hardly resent what I am going to tell
the. readers of the Pathfinder about
himi ' His name is Ford Charlmers
For. It is a name not unknown
among artists; 'If you have attended
the exhibitions you have probably seen
It at the bottom of more than one wat
er color.' '
I happened in at his cozy studio one
evening, last. August,' only a day or
twpbeorq hesajled., The walls of
we room were coverea wua ine tro
phies of his travels. , My attention was
fixed,, by-a sketch la water colors of
a young girl of the dark-haired Eastern
type, : On H I read the name ''Zulelka"
"You world-rovers gather a good
many barnacles In' your WanderingB,
I remarked;' 'T suppose, too, many- of
these relics of yours have a history,"'
I added, 'desirous of drawing him out.
"Vetf, that's so. ' .That sketch, for
Instance could tell a story, and this old
thing here, could corroborate it," he
answered, Handing me a venerame pis-
tol.wl.th a long barrel of large caliber.
"That ancient piece of ordnance not
only saved my own life, but was the
chief instrument in the rescue of one
of her majesty's vessels out in the Per
sian Gulf last December." . . ,
Ford is a man singularly reticent
about his own exploits, though he has
had enough of them. But the cigar I
handed him made hlmi communicative.
I. only , wish I might have taken his
story down in shorthand, for he ,told it
infinitely better than I can. However,
this is about what he said:
"I had taken passage on the British
India Company's steamer Kilwa at
Bassorah, for Bombay. I was just
reaching comparative civilization
again after more than six months of
privation and adventure in the interior
of Asiatic Turkey. With much difficul
ty I had made my way overland all the
way from Trebizond, on the Black sea.
Part of the distance I had followed the
route traversed by Xenophon and his
devoted 10,000 in their disastrous "Ka
tabasis." I had visited the squalid city
t Mosul once renowned for its mus
lins and like fabrics, and whence, in
fact, the name 'muslin' is derived
, gukiuaKt Bums uru-wiags iu me excavat
ed ruins of ancient Nineveh, near by.
It Is there, by the way that the royal
palaces of Sennacherib and Sardan
apalus, after twenty-six centuries of ob
livion, have been laid bare. After stop
ping en route at now decayed and in
glorious Bagdad, I bad completed my
. arduous journey at Hillah, a modern
town built near the site and from the
ancient brick of Babylon. Finally
having finished some further archaeo
logical observations inthe neighbor
hood, respecting some ancient irrlga
Ing works, I had caught passage on a
small dhow loaded with ' dates and
floated down the lazily-flowing, mystic
Euphrates. At first,' beyond the wil
low and plane-lined banks of the great
river, .stretched the once blossoming
levels of Yrak, the very cradle of his
tory; then, came lagoons which merged
ultimately , into a pestilential swamp.
Thus bad I reached Bassorah, the mod
ern Balsora of the Arabian , Nights
tales once, during the ascendency of
the Caliphs, the port and entrepot of
Bagdad, but now, like that city, dilapi
dated and dwindled into insignificance.
"The Kilwa had sailed from1 Bassor
ah at midnight It was late in the af
ternoon of the next day when, after
touching at Bush Ire, an - important
town about 200' miles down the Persian
coast, we headed for the small Arab
port -of Linga, where we were to leave
aome cargo. y
"As the sun sank toward the watery
horizon and dissolved in. the purplish
vapors ot the west, a Parsee merchant,
a so-called 'fire-worshipper,' first re
moving bis odd-looking, shining oil
cloth hat, paced the deck, repeating de
voutly his adoration of the orb that be
looked upon, not as an Intrinsic deity,
but as the highest manifestation of
God. A crowd of Musselmans kneeled
on their praying .carpets, with their
faces turned toward Mecca, and, with
swaying bodies and changing intona
tion of voice, invoked the Prophet,
careless of public gaze and laudably
courageous in the faith. One old man
in particular, a white-bearded patri
archial personage, prolonged his de
votions till late in the evening, first
reading half aloud from an ancient
copy of the Koran, illuminated with
characters in colors and gold, then
' praying, then anointing his loins with
oil then lighting hi 7 bubble-bubble,'
or water pipe, aromatic of sandal and
rose water, and puffing reflectively for
an interval! then Anally praying again.
It was much like a protracted meeting.
"Our cargo consisted mainly of
horses noble Arabian animals for
Kurrachee and Bombay; and they near
ly monopolized' the deck spate. There
were, as it proved, eleven Arab horse
dealers in charge of the drove, to a
man admirable fellows physically, with
the fierce, untamed look of a tiger
when pressed to bay by the elephants.
A few Koords, dead-black Nubians,
dusky Hindoos and dignified Afghans,
an Armenian emmigrant or two, and a
motley contingent of natives from the
Persian interior brought the number
of deck passengers up to about twenty
five. These passengers lived entirely
on deck. They boiled their rice them
selves, which, with a few dates or other
fruit and frequent potations of black
coffee, furnished the simple diet of
most of them.,.- They slep in the open
air along the1 scuppers or on Sonne con
venient hatch. What with the horses
end the bales of forage, the passengers
and their always multifarious effects,
there was hardly an available' inch of
deck-space . that was not occupied.,'. ,
r "Besides the eight officers of the ves
sel I was the only English-speaking
person on board. Among the deck pas
sengers I had noted a handsome Arab
girl. I longed to put her face on paper
but I well know the tern antipathy
the Moslems cherish against - having
their picture taken in any form. How
ever I ran the risk of resentment and
surreptiously made the sketch you are
looking at It was Zuleika, daughter
of Sheik Abdul, the chief of the horse
dealers.
"I had grown sleepy listening to the
third officer's yarns, and In preference
to tossing away the night in a super
heated stateroom I brought my mat
tress up on the windward side of die
promenade deck, where I found the BOft
eastern breeze delightfully cooling. It
was pleasant to be out where, when I
happened to be roused momentarily, I
could see the stars shining overhead
and hear the soothing splash of the
water against the vessel's side, the so
porific, even pulsations of the engines,
and at intervals the bell on the bridge
giving the hour of the watch, repeated
by the lookout in the bows with an ac
companying 'all's well.'
"At midnight the chief officer went
below, and the second officer, Mr. New-
hall, took his place on the bridge. We
expected to make Linga shortly after
daybreak, and as we had already come
out of our course, Captain Sargent be
grudged any unnecessary delay and
left orders to have everything put in
readiness for a quick discharge of the
Linga consignment To get at the car
go with a steam windlass it was neces
sary to remove the forward hatch. This
had been appropriated as a choice po
sition by the somewhat overbearing
Arab horse dealers, and it was covered
with their prostrate forms. One of the
watch Unceremoniously wakened the.
Bleepers, and with an iniBhi ('get out
of the way') ordered them off. Thex
resented being so rudely disturbed in
the middle of the night and refused to
move, glowering at the sailor with sul
len anger. Thereupon the second officer
called Captain Sargent, who promptly
came forward and proceeded to clear
the hatch by force. By this time the
Arabs were thoroughly enraged. The
sheik excitedly directed a few words
to his companions, and seizing a winch
lever advanced fiercely on the captain
before the latter could lay hold of any
thing to defend himself with. The
whole party rose en masse, and brand
ishing their murderous-looking crooked
knives frantically in the air drove the
two officers before them into the sa
loon and held them there in terror
of their lives. .. .
"I was awakened by the uproar, and
without knowing just what the matter
was rushed below in quest of my revol
ver. But I found the way to my state
room cut off by two sturdy guards.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the
second engineer had shown me an an
cient pistol taken from the French in
the Peninsular war. I slipped down
the engine-room hatchway unseen and
found it was loaded and primed. With
it I mounted guard, leaving the senior
engineer free to watch the engines.
Heantime the third and fourth offi
cers and one of the engineers had been
discovered and added to the list of the
captured in the Baloon. The mutineers
having thus become masters of the
ship, a posse of them invaded the
furnace room and scared the stokers
away. Next tney Bet upon me, with
knives and sticks. But (bis time they
met with a repulse, for . I discharged
the pistol in self-defense and shot one
of my assailants in the leg. This seemed
to check the ardor and quell the im
petuosity of the ruffians, and they with
drew, dragging their wounded comrade
-fflrrir ii-nt ; rr r -v , '
iltfiera; land rnit('eiquiei'fMyt
interval. I' i I w-iJU't !-!'
"Meantime the third and fourth offl
ily kept up by the stokers and the man
at the wheel had Btuck to his post
through thick and thin, so that the ves
sel was still making some headway. At
length, however, the engines stopped,
the fires having run very low. Fortun-
ately, the season being favorablf , there
was little sea on, but as we drifted in'
to the trough, the Arabs began to real'
lze that they were powerless to keep
the machinery In motion or to navigate
their prize. The sheik poked his head
under the skylight and began to par
ley with the incarcerated Britons in
the saloon below. Through the ven
tilating funnel leading to the engine
room I could hear the soft voice of
Zulelka as she tried to pacify her
father.
"After protracted negotiations it was
arranged that some of the officers
should be liberated on condition that
that they take the ship into the Arab
port of Llnga and there abandon her.
Though Captain Sargent made some
show of protestation to this condition
he was secretly overjoyed to accept it
as he well knew that Her Majesty's
gunboat Redbreast was ahead of him
she having left Bushire for Linga
shortly before the arrival of the Kil-
wa. .
"Steam therefore was soon gotton up
and the course resumed. Not long af
ter daybreak, about five leagues off
Linga, we sighted the Redbreast, and
when we had nearly come up with her
Captain Sargent ran up the signal for
assistance. Commander Scott, R. N.
of the Redbreast, promptly manned
a pinnace and boarded the Kilwa with
a squad of marines, and the mutineers,
much to their, horror and disappoint'
ment, found themselves prisoners on
board an . English man-of-war; The
injured man was taken care of, his
would not having been fatal after all
and the rest of the party were deprived
of their coffee and tobacco the worst
punishment an Arab can conceive of.
"You will naturally ask how it was
that, a handful of these barbarians
managed not only to defy the whole
crew of a British merchant vessel, but
to drive the officers before them into
the saloon like sheep into a pen. But
the attack was made in the dead of
night without the slightest warning,
the officers were practically defenseless
and the Lascar crew were intimidated
into perfect submission at the first on
set. It la a favorite ruse with Chinese,
as well as Arab, pirates to take passage
on a vessel in the guise of casual deck
passengers, and then , when 1 once
aboard, to watch their opportunity to
murder the officers, loot the vessel, and
make good their escape. For this rea
son, it is usual for vessels trading
coastwise in these Eastern waters to
keep a stand of arms In the saloon
against emergency, but this time, as it
often happens in such cases, the pro
vision was lacking just when most
needed. A pistol, handed down as a
relic of the Peninsular war, is hardly
an adequate armament for a large ves
sel under such conditions.
"The Kilwa proceeded on her way
down the gulf, and we arrived at Kur
rachee in safety three days later. The
Redbreast reached there a little time
after us, and the culprits were handed
over to the civil authorities of Kur
rachee. It was represented at the hear
ing that the horse dealers were in real
ity a gang of freebooters. I was preS'
ent and being familiar with the Arabic
language, volunteered to state their
defense to the magistrate. They urged
that they had not premeditated the as
sault, that they had been provoked to
It, and that they did not appreciate at
the time the seriousness of their of
fense. Still their action was piratical,
according to the letter of the law, and
an example has occasionally to be made
of these restless, lawless gentry; else
the gulf would become once more a
runway for cut-throats and sea rob
bers, to the great hazard of trade and
travel. I appealed to the mercy of the
justice, and the sheik and three of the
ringleaders were let oft with a month's
imprisonment while the rest were not
detained.
"A week later, in Bombay, I was
sauntering through the bazar when I
felt a gentle pull at my sleeve. Turn
ing round, I saw Zulelka standing be
fore me. She was holding by the bridle
the most beautiful Arabian horse I
ever saw-none other, in fact than my
Yussef that you have seen so often. Zu
lelka placed the rein in my hand and
I received it -mechanically. 'He is
yours,' she said. 'Sheik Abdul never
forgets his friend.' Before I could re
cover from my surprise she had van
ished, lost in the great current of hu
manity that floods the native quarter."

American 8hies In France.
Among the features of 1904 hat
been the general appearance of shoes
closely resembling in form and style
those made in the United States. - -
The clumsy, ungainly and heavy
French shapes are gradually'disappear
lng. In their stead are coming grace
fully cut and finely finished shoes of
a decided American appearance. The
fact is, however, that it is rather our
shoe-making machines than the shoes
themselves that have come to France.
In any event, the American-appearing
shoes which are now quite generally
seen in this city and elsewhere in
the provinces are made principally in
Paris with machinery imported from
the United States.
This does not alter the fact that
some bona-fide American shoes are On
sale here, but they are much dearer
than the French-made articles, and it
is not likely that they will make head
way against the strong combination
which is represented by cheap French
labor and prolific American machin

The Benefits to Be Derived from Cold Baths-
and Vigorous Rubbing
By Eugene Wood '
0 , '(
cold bath we might as well get at the straight of the thing,
is not really a matter of cleanliness as much as a matter of
getting the skin livened up and the capillaries and veins
next to the surface full of blood. ' Ice-cold water or scalding
hot water will do that, but tepid water No, no. : ' " 1
The skin Is almoBt exactly the same kind of an excreting

If you want to know. Any rubbing Is bound to push the blood along toward
the heart and help the circulation, because there are valves ih the veins which
prevent the blood from going in any other direction than toward the heart

The Housewife's
By Afternoon Nap y
Sam A. Hamilton itiiittiAritfi
EARLY every housewife takes a rest, and a nap if possible,
In the afternoon;, but few accomplish it. The mere lying
down is not resting; In fact It is easier to rest sitting than
lying down, If one does not understand how to rest properly,
and the woman whd does not relax when she lies, down can
not rest no matter how lone she lies. To relax properly, lie
! y at full length on the back with the head level with the body.
' -II ' the arms extended slightly from the body,- and the feet sep
arated some six inches. The clothing should be loose, if .lye.
Ing on a couch, but it is best to undress and get into bed. Start with long
breaths of the kind known as "abdominal breathing," followed by upper chest
breathing. Keep this up for a few minutes only, and then beginning with the
head relax all the muscles the whole lenrth of the body: that Is. release1 the
tension on them, so that if feet or hands were lifted" they wQuld'jall t,o the bed
as air they were logs of wood. It is not very difficult to relax the muscles of
tho arms and legs but it iakes patient practice to relax the muscles of the back,
thorax and breast, but by persistent, effort It can be accomplished.. When all
the muscles are relaxed the person feels as If she were floating In the air,
there Is no sense of weight. Now an effort should be made to relax the mind.
This cannot be done, as some have recommended by "thinking of nothing"-
an impossibility but it can be done by directing the mind to the latest pleas
ant thing that has occurred, conning It over repeatedly, and It will not require
very many repetitions to send one into a deep, baby-like sleep the kind that
rests, and from which one awakes refreshed, and with every nerve tuned in
unison to the work ahead. Try it Good Housekeeping.

Advice to Our Girls
' By Elizabeth M. Gilmer
HE first reason why women fail as wives Is because marriage
T, , has never yet been esteemed one of the learned professions
' which only a highly qualified individual is fitted to practice.
! I On the contrary, it is held to be a kind of jack-leg trade that
J 1 any girl can pick up at a minute's notice, and carry on suc-
MMMMa cessrully wltnout toe sllgntest previous knowledge or traln
9 Ing. No girl would be-cofceaited enough to think that she
MIIMMH could practice medicine or law or dentistry without devoting
years to its study. She wouldn t even dream of hiring out as
a stenographer without first learning how to make pot-hooks, but she blithely
and cock-surely tackles the most difficult and complicated job existing that of
being a wife on the fallacious assumption that a knowledge of how to man
age a man and make him happy and comfortable comes to a woman by inspir
ation, and not through preparation.
When the average girt marries she does not even know how to make a
man physically comfortable, and yet, unromantlc as this may seem, the very
foundation of domestic happiness has to be laid In bodily ease. Nobody can
be sentimental on an empty Btomach, and bad cooking will kill the tenderest
ffection In time. Love is choked to death on tough steak as well as slain by
unfaithfulness, and many a young husband's illusions about his bride have
been drowned In watery soup. The first inkling that young Benedict gets that
his Angelina is not all his fondest fancy painted her, and that he has missed
his affinity, is when he has to sit down to ill-cooked and ill-served meals: and
you may be very sure that if there were no bnd dinners there would be pre
cious few men wandering away from home. To be a good wife Is not
an easy task. It Is one of tho most strenuous undertakings on earth. It re
quires labor and Skill and care and tact and unselfishness, but it is the kind
of service a woman agrees to give when she gets married. If she doesn't like 1
the in-lce, she can stay single. . . - . .
Great Britain Results Compared With
the Record In America.
"The most-talked-of fact in connec
tion with the railroad accident ree
ords of the last few years," writes the
Railroad Gazette, "is that the rail
roads of Great Britain and Ireland
were worked for fifteen months pend
ing with March, 1902), without caus
ing the death of ' a passenger in
collision or derailment. This Is a re
markable record. Indicating sound
structures, correct methods, efficient
men and good discipline. Comparing
it with the record in America, we
cannot avoid self-reproach. But it
must be borne in mind that this one
item is not the -'whole thing.' The
Vandalla Line (Indianapolis to- St
Louis, 242 miles), has killed .only one
passenger In a train accident in 60
years; and that accident did hot be
long to the class that causes our pres
ent reproach collisions; it was a de
railment, duo to a broken rail. This
fact was stated recently by an offi
cer of the Vandalla before the St,
Louis Railway club. At the same time
the Vandalla has had collisions, like
other single-track roads. The English
lines had some train accidents in their
fifteen months' record referred to, and
have killed passengers since then.
"We shall not In this place take the
reader's time to elaborate the reason
ing from these facts; many of the con'
elusions are obvious. The question of
safety in railroad travel is not to be
settled by a newspaper article or two,
This Vandalla record, and that of the
Albany and Susquehanna, referred to
recently, bring out another phase of
the subject; the difference in the dan
ger on single-track roads with light or
moderate traffic as compared with
doublt-track ' lines with heavy or
crowded traffic. In the statement con
cerning the Albany and. Susquehanna
attention was called to the fact that
a comparison of passengers killed in
proportion , to . the number carried
would show that that road's record to
be much' better than the English rec
ord. By taking a sufficiently long term
of years a short road In the thinly
settled parts of New York state can
be compared with a single year on
the thousands of miles of roads in the
densest parts of England. A state
ment of similar import has been pub
lished In Chicago concerning the ac
cident record on the Southern Pacific
for a recent period. Finding that the
average deaths and injuries per train
mile equal only one-half the average
per. train mile. in the whole, United
states, and assuming that this differ
ence is due to, the good discipline of
the Southern Pacific, the conclusion
Is offered that If the rest of the roads
of the country would adopt Southern
Pacific discipline the casualties every
where would be reduced one-half!
"Here, again, we leave the reader to
draw his own conclusions. Just how
much a passenger gains in safety on
a line where there Is only one train
a day, as compared with a four-track
line that is constantly crowded, no
one can calculate; but that the differ
ence Is enough to completely vitiate
such comparisons as this which comes
from Chicago is too patent to heed
stating. It is not to be supposed that
the management of tho Southern Pa
cific fathers these comparisons; but
some railroad men do seem to imag
ine that comfort can be got out of that
kind of arithmetic, hence this notice
of the matter. All these various so
phistries make no difference with the
central facts: That large numbers of
deaths are caused on American rail
roads by collisions, and that the colli
sions, occurring by the hundreds ev
ery year, are due to causes which In
very large measure can be quickly
done away with, and at moderate
cost"
