A Coward's Epitaph.
I
The ship struck the rocks at two
bells in the middle watch. Halt an
hour later she went down. Into that
half-hour were compressed a few
deeds of heroism, many of rank cow
ardice. Some lives were saved, more
were lost. Over the liner and the
great majority of her passengers the
ea closed in, hiding heroes and cow
ards alike.
The wreck of the Casparla did not
make pleasant reading in the news
papers. Men read the tale of that
disgraceful panic with loathing the
deeper because they looked within
their own souls and shuddered to
think that In similar circumstances
they might have shared it
A few of the officers had done theln
a . . iu. i i . I
vesi, uui lufl pasHeiiKcrH uttu Bittiu-
peded like frightened sheep, huddling
about the boats; and the crew, a
craping of the scum of all the ports
of Europe, had got among them, knife
In hand, and had fought for their
own safety, regardless of the women
and children.
Mr. Granville, the first officer, had
managed tc keep some order around
bis boat. Orim and resolute, he
swept the muzzle of his revolver
around a circle of angry faces, and
kept back the men while he assisted
the half-clad women to enter. Ar
thur Uflllsfoi d, who had been aroused
In his berth by the long grinding
crash of the vessel's side against th,e
rocks, had hurried from his cabin,
Bick with fear, not on his own ac
count, but for the sake of Lillian
Waters, the girl he loved best la the
world.
He met her at the foot of the
cabin companion, and without a word
of explanation, put his arm about
her, and carried her up the stairs on
to the deck. He saw the crowd about
Granville s boat, and pushing his way
violently through it, came out in the
open space within, to find himself
face to face within the muzzle of the
mate's pistol.
"Stand back!" said Granville,
harply. "One, two "
"Not for myself," he gasped, "for
her for this lady."
"Pass her in,'' answered the mate,
"and stand back. No men go In this
boat except those who have to man
her."
The ship gave a heavy list to port,
and the crowd, who had been kept In
check by the mate's pistol, were flung
violently forward in the seething
mass against the boat's side. The
mate's pistol rang out sharply, once,
twice, but without effect. Fear and
the chance of safety had converted
sane men into lunatics.
Desperately Arthur strove to lift
the girl iato the boat. He had al
most succeeded when a young man
leaped up on the gunwale, pushing
her aside in his frenzy, and clamber
ing In himself. The girl gave a cry,
and stretched out her hands for help,
clutching t'ae edge.
The young man turned, and Arthur
could see his face, livid with fear,
great beads of sweat moistening the
long lock of dark hair that hung
above his forehead. With an oath
the creature turned upon the girl,
beating her hands down; and as Bhe
still struggled he snatched up an oar
and struck her across the face.
Railsford uttered a curse, but,
hampered as be was, he could do no
more. He turned his attention to
Lillian. But the mate had marked
the action and had swung his weapon
round savagely. There was a flash,
a choking cry, and the lad who had
fought so desperately to save him
self flung up his arms, spun round
and fell, a stream of blood pouring
from his throat.
The end came with terrible swift
ness. The ship heeled over and
plunged. Railsford gripped the girl
and took a long breath. He was a
rf.rong swimmer; but the frightful
fiction of the sea tore her from his
(rasp as if he had been a child.
He was dragged under and lost
consciousness. When he awoke he
found himself in a boat ' among
friends. He looked about him for
the girl. She was not there. He
faltered a question. They only shook
their heads.
The boat wltn its few survivors
was picked up by a cargo steamer
bound for Liverpool; and in due
course Arthur found himself once
more on land. He cared little. He
was a changed man, moody and
silent.
There was before him a definite
purpose which seized upon him with
the strength of an obsession. He
had seen no more after the blow
which the lad had struck at Lillian's
face. Even his anger had given way
before the necessity of comforting the
girl, and he had devqted the whole
of Wb attention to her.
He had not seen the mate's shot,
he had forgotten, If he had seen, the
youth, spinning round with the blood
pouring from his throat, he did not
know that he was dead.
As the days passed the thought
that that boy must be alive grew Into
the wish. Surely he must be alive;
and, if so, he, Arthur Railsford, must
find him find him and deal out the
death which he deserved with every
circumstance of cruelty his mind
could Invent.
For weeks he sought Industriously
the survivors of the disaster and
questioned then. Those he saw could
afford him bo Information, and ht
I

turned from them In bitter disap
pointment. At last he got wind of a sailor who
had been on a boat of which he had
previously heard nothing. He trav
eled to Hull to see him, learned
there that he had started to tramp
to Newcastle, where he had relatives,
and set out on foot in search of him.
He walked doggedly, inquiring of
such folk as he met whether the
man had passed that way. Evening
fell apace, and found him on a long
stretch of lonely road, conscious for
the first time in all that day of the
dUtance he had traveled, and the
weariness which was weighing him
down.
He was footsore, and he limped a
good deal, aware of a bliBter on his
left heel. To go on for any distance
was impossible. He must find shel
ter an inn, If possible; it not, the
first dwelling place he could find.
Half a mile further along the road
the lights of a small cottage shone
out from a plantation. They glowed
cheerfully, inviting him to rest He
paused Irresolutely at the gate, then
threw it open, and went up the path.
Raising the knocker of the door he
rapped rlowly three times, and await
ed an answer from the inmates.
There was an appreciable pause,
and then Bteps became audible in the
passage. The door opened, and an
elderly man appeared, holding a lamp
high above his head, and looking out
curiously.
Railsford noticed that the some
what severe cast of his host's coun
tenance was deeply graven with lines
of suffering, and that his hair and
pointed beard were grey. He no
ticed something further also; for a
second man had looked out with a
strange air of eagerness, which had
In It something of fear. The expres
sion lasted but a moment, and then
vanished, giving place to one of cour
teous interrogation. ' i
"I beg your pardon, sir," said
Railsford, "but I have walked far
and am lame, and J. can see no sign
of an inn. I saw your lights and
wondered whether you would give
me shelter."
The man looked at him gravely.
"God forbid that we should turn
any one from our doors," he said,
"but I fear we shall be a somewhat
cheerless company for you. You
come to a house of mourning."
"The better it I do not intrude
upon you," replied Railsford, .grimly.
"I, too, have cause for grief."
"Come in, sir, come in," said the
man. He stood aside to permit hia
visitor to enter, and ushered him into
a room which opened from the right
of the passage.
Railsford looked about him. The
place was simply but comfortably
furnished. The large table in the
centre was covered with crimson
cloth, and a lamp standing upon it
shed its soft radiance about the walls.
Two large horBehair chairs flanked
the fire. One of them had been
pushed back, as though his host had
risen from it.
Close beside the lamp sat a gentle,
refined looking woman with scanty
silver hair. She was knitting indus
triously, and the ceaseless clicking of
her needles paused but. for a moment
at his entrance, and then went on
again. In that moment she had
glanced at him with the same air
of half fearful expectancy which he
had observed in her husband. Then
she glanced at an open Bible which
lay before her on the table, sighed,
and continued her work.
"My dear," said her husband,
"here is a stranger who has walked
far and who asks our hospitality."
He turned to Railsford. "Let me
introduce you to my wife, Mrs. Fos
ter. I am Captain Foster, at your
service."
"My name is Railsford," replied
Arthur; "I duBt apologize for my in
trusionbut I really cannot go fur
ther to-nlEht."
The woman put down her Work
and rose.
"We are glad to be of service to
you," she said gently. "If you will
excuse me, I will see that you have
some food."
His host Indicated a chair; the
woman left the room, and returned
in a few moments with cold meat,
bread, and a jug of beer. She set
these before him on the table. Rails
ford was too hungry to make fur
ther apologies. He set to work upon
the victuals, and soon began to feel
more satisfied. All the timo he was
busy with the meal the elderly couple
watched him in silence, the woman
knitting nervously, the man, leaning
back in his armchair apparently lost
in thought. The silence began to
oppress Railsford, and he spoke.
"I do not wish to be intrusive," he
said, "but I imagined as I came in
that you bad been expecting some
one."
Husband and wife exchanged a
quick glance. Then the man averted
bis eyes and the woman dropped hers
to her knitting.
"I am sorry if I have said anything
calculated to hurt you," said Rails
ford, puzzled. "The fact Is," he con
tinued apologetically, "I fear I am
not as tactful as I used to be. I have
recently passed through a great dan
ger and a great sorrow and it has
rendered me careless."
"A great danger and a great sor
row!" said the man, looking up slowly.
"Tee," replied Railsford. "I wat
shipwrecked. I was on the CaBparla.
No doubt yon have seen an account
of the disaster in the papers."
His remark was received in dead
Bilence. Looking up, be founl thai
the couple were stating at him. Their
faces, in the lamplight, were gray
and pallid. Something in their ex
pression knocked at his heart, and
in the stillness he could hear the
ticking ot the clock.
"My son was on that boat," said
the man after a pause.
Railsford could make no answer;
he was looking at the woman. Tears
bad gathered in her eyes, and one
trickled down her left cheek.
"He is dead," the man continued
in the same level tone. "We have
read the lists of the Burvlvirs, but his
name was not among them. And yet,
we hope; we know that he is dead,
yet we cannot help hoping. When
your knock came but no matter.
You could not know it, but you gave
that he used to do."
The poor woman broke out Into
lamentations and burled her face In
her hands.
"My boy!" she sobbed. "My beau
tiful brave boy! He is dead. He is
lying out in the cold sea to-night,
and I shall never see him any more
never any more!"
The man stood up fiercely.
"And to think," be cried, "that so
many lives were lost that could have
been saved. I read the accounts in
the papers, and It made my blood
boil. To think that I should have
lived to be ashamed ot my profession.
Yes, sir, I have followed the sea, but
never have I known such a thing.
Cowards! Cowards all! The brave
are dead." He turned upon Rails
ford with quick suspicion. "You have
eaten my bread," he cried. "Swear
that you did what lay in your power.
This house is a seaman's house, and
that food was earned upon the sea.
If you have played the coward I think
it would have choked you."
Railsford stood up and looked his
host in the eyes.
"I was picked out of the Bea," he
said, simply. "I did what I could.
Would to God that others had done
the Bame."
His host returned his gaze, and
read truth in it. He held out his
hand.
"I knew It," he said. "I could not
think that I was harboring one ol
those cowards. God would not have
permitted it. You are welcome."
"Yes, you are welcome," cried the
woman, "for the sake of my brave
boy who is dead. He, too, did his
duty. He has come to me since in
dreams, and he has told me so. I
have seen him almost every night
and always the same. There was a
boat near him and he would not en
ter it. He would not enter it be
cause of the women and children.
My boy! My brave boy! He thought
always ot others. Oh, why did he
not think of me? Why did he not
save himself it only for my sake?"
"Hush!" said the man sternly, "if
he had done as you have said and
have come here starving I would
have spat upon htm and turned him
from the door."
"What matter?" retorted the moth
er with a fiercenesB strangely at var
iance with her usual gentleness.
"What matter when I could have
gone with him?"
Her husband went over to her and
patted her hand with a little move
ment of affection that was very
touching.
"The boy has died as he should
have done," he said. "Let us take
our comfort in that."
"He was such a handsome lad,"
she said, sobbing. "Did you know
him, sir? His name was Foster
Cyril Foster.- Perhaps you met him
on the ship."
"No," said Railsford slowly. "I
do not know the name."
"Perhaps you knew him by sight?"
she persisted. "There is a photo
graph there on the mantelpiece. Will
you look at it?"
Railsford turned in the direction
indicated and took the photograph
in his hands. He bent over it iu or
der to permit the lamplight to illumi
nate its surface.
For a moment his heart stood still.
He knew' the face. He recognized
the sharp features and the long dark
hair that hung across the forehead,
- His fingers tightened on the frame
and he kept his face obstinately low
ered, lest the black hatred which
boiled within his heart should show
Itself on his face.
It was all coming back to htm; the
scene around the boat, the agonized
girl, the cruel blow which had de
prived her of her chance of life and
yes, the sound of the pistol shot and
the thought, nay the certainty that
the scoundrel was dead.
With that conviction a part ot his
life seemed torn away. Vengeance
was gone from him, and existence
seemed utterly empty.
After all, what did it matter? Lil
lian was dead, and the lad who had
struck her was dead also.
Let the dead bury their dead. His
business was with the living, whose
salt he had eaten, who were clinging
to such shreds of comfort as they
could find.
Could he take it from them? He
looked up with a set face to find
their eyes upon him. Then he lied.
"Yes," he said slowly, "I knew
him. I saw him at the last. He died
as a brave man should." Manches

A Class Too Numerous.

pect an editor to slave In defense ot

HOUSEHOLD
MATTERS
Sewing on a Button.
In sewing on a button put a pin
across the top and allow the thread
to pass over it each time, after which
remove the pin, pull the button to
ward you and wind thread under it a
few times, then end the thread.
To Remove Tea Stain.
When there is a bad tea stain on
the tablecloth, wet the place thor
oughly with glycerin, let it soak for
a few minutes, then wash out with
warm water. Be sure to wash it out
thoroughly. Apply boiling water
afterward; when the cloth is washed
there will be no sign ot the stain.
Kitchen Screens Attractive.
The kitchen may be made into an
attractive room for the maid to spend
ber evenings In, by the' use ot screens.
These are put in front of the range
and the sink, shutting them off from
view most completely.
When the sink is in a small alcove
a simple and pretty way of disguising
it lieB in putting a curtain rod across
from wall to wall of the alcove, hang
ing from this rod, which is quite high,
a dainty white curtain, with heavier
side curtains of a pretty, dark color.
This is a better way to shut it oft
than any other, as it gives the effect
of a window and alters the whole
look of the room.
Use of Coarse Scrim.
Coarse scrim may be used in many
wayB, its possibilities being practical
ly without limit. This Berlin takes
dye beautifully and curtains made of
it and embroidered in old-fashioned
cross stitch leave little to be desired
in the way of beauty. The work is
done right on the material, as the
weave is like canvas, the threads are
easily counted and there is no tax on
the eyes. There is no end to the de
signs suited to cross stitch embroid
ery, and almost any flower, slightly
conventionalized, may be used. A
beautiful set of curtains seen recent
ly were of scrim dyed a deep coffee
color, with dragons worked in dull
blue scattered about here and there.
rrrfitmrd rillows.
Since those extra little pillows have
become so frequently met with as a
part of bed furnishings, pine and lav
ender pillows have both become more
popular.
Both of them, when made for a
bed, are incased in Btrong muslin
covers, over which the pretty little
white slip is drawn.
For couches, ot course, darker and
more serviceable materials aro used,
often for pine pillows a deep yellow,
embroidered, in a simple outline
stitch, in brown or deep bronze
greens. For lavender a light lav
ender, embroidered in a darker shade,
or one of the pretty white cretonnes,
covered with blossoms and stripes ot
lavender, makes an attractive cover
ing, says Woman's Life.
If you are going away and can
squeeze just one more thing into your
trunk, tuck one of the regular baby
pillows in. The pillows where you
are staying may be stuffy and hard,
and that little pillow is just the thing
for a hammock or for the nap that
you take in the old orchard, stretched
out upon rug or steamer blanket, or
it may add much to the peace of your
nightly slumbers.
Ginger Snaps One-half cup but
ter, one-half cup sugar, one-half cup
molasses, one dessertspoon ginger.
Boil all together ten minutes. One
teaspoon soda in three dessertspoons
hot water and quickly stir in as much
flour as possible. Roll very thin.
Mock Mince Pie One egg, one
half cup sugar, one-half cup sour
milk, one-halt teaspoon soda, one
half cup chopped raisins, one-halt
cup currants, one-half teaspoon salt,
one-half teaspoon each cloves and
cinnamon; ba'.:e with two crusts. This
tastes almost exactly like real m.nce.
Steamed Golden Pudding Re
quired: Four ounces of flour, two
ounces of sugar, four ounces of finely
shredded suet, two eggs, half a lem
on, two ounces of breadcrumbs, two
tablespoonfuls of golden syrup. Mix
the dry ingredients together, then
beat up the eggs and stir in the syrup,
also the grated rind and juice of half
a lemon. Pour into r buttered mold,
tie down with paper, and steam one
hour and a half. Serve with a little
hot golden syrup poured round.
East Indian Soup Put into a ket
tle a tablespoonful of butter, two
tablespoonfuls of finely chopped on
ions, two tablespoonfuls of grated
carrots, the same of grated turnips;
stir carefully for about two minutes,
add a quart of water or stock, a dash
of red pepper, a little black pepper,
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley,
a sliced apple and simmer gently for
fifteen minutes. Add a teaspoonful
ot curry and four or five tablespoon
fuls of boiled rice, which should be
boiled while you are mtklpg tht

The roundest and rosiest of Ohio
mayors has a warm admirer in Con
gressman Champ Clark, of Missouri.
"If Tom Johnson never does anything
else," said Champ Clark in the Housa
of Representatives, "he deserves1 a
monument as high as the Washington
monument for what he has done to
ward establishing three-Cent street
car fares in Cleveland."
Theodore P. Shonts, late chairman
of the Panama Canal Commissions
would have the legislatures let the
railroads alone.
