THE FALLEN.
And were ye of the Seekers, ye. fallen,
Ye merged in the mire?
SVfcen ye clutched ao, and stumb'id, and
stifled,
Were ye led by Desire
God's angel of longing, whose task is
To set souls alire?
loo feeble the flame of your burning;
Was passion so pale
Te could drown it in drafts for the body?
Could nothing avail
BV fire you to mightily conquer
Or mightily fail?
Kay, truly, God's angel of longing
Who sets souls alire
Must chafe when the snatched spark of
heaven
Falls so in the mire
Wo sputter in pitiful sinning
And weakly expire.

'TWIXT ICE AND SEA
Told by FREDERICK MARTIN and Set
Down by J. MAYNE BALTIMORE.
Frederick Martin Is a fisherman of
Ean Francisco, California, U. S. A.
He spent the winter of 1905 at the
fishing camp of the Union Fish Com
pany, at Eagle Harbor, Alaska.
One bright day In February, Mar
tin concluded he would go out fishing
In his dory alone, never considering
the freaks of a treacherous climate.
By a singular oversight, he took
no matches with him, thus omitting
any means of making a fire. He
thought about It later, but merely
eald to himself, "Oh, well, I shall be
gone only a few hours. I'll just go
around the land corner, and be back
In time for my dinner."
So away he pulled to look for cod
fish. It was several miles to the
"land corner" the high point that
Jutted sharply out Into the Bea, but
the water was quite smooth and the
fisherman made good progress.
Scarcely, however, had Martin
raunded the abrupt point, when a tre
mendous gale sprang up from, the
northwest, scourging the hungry seas
Into foaming fury and hurling the
dory this way and that like a mere
chip.
Not a ghost of a chance was left
Martin to return to camp in the teeth
of the gale; he was compelled to run
for such shelter or landing place as
the fierce winds and fearful seas per
mitted. Just ahead of him he sighted a
narrow bay or inlet. "I will run for
that and get ashore," Martin mut
tered, through his clenched teeth. No
sooner said than done; the thing was
simple enough. He knew he was not
five miles from camp, and he was sure
he could easily make his way back
overland.
Presently the Inexorable thrust of
the raging sea cast him helpless upon
the beach of the little bay. Judge of
Martin's consternation and horror,
however, when, on making a brief
exploration, ho discovered that he
was shut up in a veritable prison of
Ice, whose only gateway was the
hungry, devouring sea.
' Backed by sheer cliffs rising 800
feet high, coated with a narrow film
of ice, the narrow crescent of the
beach made a prison as hopeless as
the ancient Bastille, and further re
moved from human aid or sympathy.
Martin saw at a glance that he was
face to face with death a slow, ling
Bering, inch-by-inch death from cold.
Now, the strange thing is that this
man, reduced to the most desperate
traits, began gravely to record with
a stump of pencil, on fragments of
taper and strips of wood cut from
Ms dory, his sensations from hour to
hour.
Nothing was omitted in this terri
ble record of his sufferings his ex
pedients, his despair, and his re
course to devouring his aw fish-bait
for food, after two days' starvation.
Then follow notes of his desperate
fight to keep the blood moving by
(savagely beating his feet with the
handle of a gaff-hoqk, his final perse
verance, and hi3 wonderful escape,
after hope had deserted hlrn, by
climbing the ics-coated rocks.
Strange fancies often pursue a man
In dire extremity. His record of fear
ful sufferings and dangers during
those three terrible days seems to
have afforded Martin companionship
-almost consolation.
Again and again the prisoner ex
plored the beach and scanned the
towering cliffs for an avenue of es
cape, but entirely without success.
Then he prepared to pass the night
as best ha could.
' Pulling the battered dory farther
tip the beach he turned It over,
Wrapped himself in A piece of old sail,
and crawled under the .miserable
shelter. It was bitter cold, the gale
vms furious, and the sea tumultuous.
Martin dared not go to sleep, even
with sleep were possible. He spent
a night full of Indescribable suffering
and horrors, crouching on his hands
and knees, and cruelly beating him
self with the gaff-handle to prevent
llmself freezing to death. -The
horrors of that fearful night
were repeated next day. For two
flays Martin had no food and no fire,
with the temperature ranging below
aero. His voice died in his throat,
he lost the power of speech, his mind,
It seemed, was giving way under the
awful strain.
. The weary hours dragged along in
clow, horrible suspense. He must do
something to keep his mind from
madness, and accordingly he whittled
chips of wood off his dory and wrote
messages, more or less incoherent,
that might be found after he was
dead. Some of the sentences he
scribbled in pencil were: "To-day,
If the wind don't change; is my last
day."
"Give my best regards to C.
CchmaU."
"This is a terrible place. I can't
get out."
"I have to die in terrible suffering,
but when I am gone I shall be very
happy."
"Maybe, I would last a few days
longer, but I have no food."
Most of the entries in that remark
able diary ran like the above
broken, fragmentary, but terribly elo
quent of the man's plight.
Still, in spite of his sufferings,
Martin's Indomitable spirit could not
be crushed. He had in his dory some
small flsh-sculplns; these he vora
ciously devoured raw. Then, in des
peration, the man determined to try
to scale the beetling, ice-clad cliffs.
Escape seaward was hopeless. The
storm still raged with unabated fury,
gale succeeded gale, and tremendous
seas broke continually on the beach.
Just about this time Martin was
missed at Eagle Harbor. It was
known at the camp that he had) gone
fishing alone, and it was conjectured
that he had been suddenly overtaken
by the gale. His companions deemed
his fate sealed. To attempt to search
for him in such a storm was fool
hardy too hazardous even to think
about. And so the hapless man was
abandoned to his awful doom.
There was a narrow pinnacle of
rock jutting from the icy face of the
mountain.
"If I could only reach that point,
I might make my way upward," Mar
tin kept muttering.
But it was useless to think of
climbing in rubber boots. It that
cliff was to be conquered it must be
done with bare feet, or not at all.'
Even then it was hopeless to at
tempt to scale the smooth, Icy rock
without something more than his
bare hands and feet. In his dory
Martin had a strong rope of consid
erable length, and with this he made
a noose.
Again and again he cast the lasso
at the shap crag above. He was very
weak, and bordering on delirium; but
now the faint hope of escape seemed
to give him almost superhuman en
ergy. At last, when he was on the
verge of utter despair, the noose
caught on the pinnacle and held fast.
How Martin ever managed to drag
himself up to the little Jutting crag
he himself could never tell; but at
last, nearly lifeless, he reached it.
From that point of vantage he con
trived to zigzag his way upwards,
slowly and painfully, in constant peril
of crashing headlong to the beach.
Barefooted, frost-bitten, hatless,
torn, bleeding, and almost dead, Mar
tin finally reached the lofty crest.
Once on the summit of the mountain,
calling all his resolution to his aid,
he somehow or other dragged him
self to the canip, where he arrived
in a fearful physical and mental con
dition, having spent three days and
two nights in his Icy prison. It was
found necessary to amputate his
frozen toes, and it was days before he
recovered from his protracted ordeal.
The Wide World Magazine.
Triumph of Heredity.
The other college boys were hazing;
the new freshman, who was the son
of a clergyman.
"You will be required," they said,
as they stood him tin a table, "ta
preach a sermon."
"I'll do it, gentlemen," he an
swered, " "on condition that you do
not interrupt me until I have
finished."
"We promise." ' '
"Will you kindly furnish . me a
text?"
"You will preach a sermon," they
said, after consulting together a mo
ment, "on Cerberus."
"On Cerberus, gentlemen? Great
Sc "
"That's text enough, sir. Go
ahead. You are wasting time."
"All right. Cerberus it is. My
hearers, the subject of this discourse
naturally divides Itself into three
heads. As you have been kind
enough to promise not to interrupt
me I shall occupy your attention only
half nn hour on each. I remark,
firstly," etc.
They stood It patiently for fifteen
minutes.
Then they sneaked out, one by
one, and the hazing camo to an end.

An Aerial Propeller.
An aerial propeller working on a
novel system has been invented by
Major Hoernes, an aeronaut, says the
Cologne Gazette. In his new contriv
ance the inventor takes advantage of
the fact that the screw to be used in
air has a wholly different medium to
encounter to the ship's propeller
working in water, since air is capa
ble of compression. He has, there
fore, made use of a screw which ia
driven in a series of impulses, and
not at one continuous speed, as is
usually the case. He affects this by
means of a system of screws, which
not only revolve round their own
axis, but also rotate round a common
axis, planet fashion. The screw is
thus driven alternately fast and Blow.
The Engineer.
When Henry James Spoke English.
There could not be a more enter
taining treat than a dinner at the
James house (the elder Henry
James) when all the young people
were at home. They were full of
stories of the oddest kind, and dis
cussed questions of morals or taste
or literature with a vociferous vigor
so great as sometimes to lead the
young men to leave their seats and
gesticulate on the floor. I remember
in some of these heated discussions it
was not unusual for the sons to in
voke humorous curses on their par
ent, one of which was that "his
mashed potatoes might always have
lumps in them." From E. L. God4

SMART STYLES FOR SPRING.
New York City. Every variation
of the Eton jacket is to be worn dur
ing the spring and many attractive
novelties are being shown. Here is
one that gives the new broad shoul
der line, and that Includes a little
vest that is chic and fascinating in
the extreme. In the illustration it is
made of old blue Panama cloth with
trimming of black braid and vest of
Persian silk, but every seasonable
material is appropriate and the vest
can be of any contrasting one that
may be liked. A novelty introduced
In the late winter was the use of cre
tonne for these accessories and some
of the effects so obtained are really
admirable while there are a host of
silks that can be utilized, or trim
ming only can bo made to give the
effect.
The' Eton Is made with a founda
tion portion which consists of fronts
and back, the over portion, which
also consists of fronts and backs, and
the sleeves. The foundation is faced
from the front edges to form the vest
and at the under-arms with the ma
terial and the over portion Is quite
separate and arranged over it, the
collar being joined to the neck edges
of both. Tho sleeves also' are ar
ranged over linings and are finished
with roll-over cuffs.
Tho quantity of material required
for the medium Bize la three arid
seven-eighth yards twenty-one, three
and three-eighth yards twenty-seven
or one and seven-eighth yards forty
four inches wide with five-eighth
yard any width for the vest and five
yards of wide, ten yards of soutache
braid for trimming, two and one
eighth yard3 twenty-one or one and
one-half yards thlrty-slx inches wide
for lining.
Fluttering Veils Continue.
The mania for fluttering veils,
which has a run every year, revived
this season with surprising strength,
and there is no expectation of a fall
ing off in this becoming fashion.
Wistaria For Plumes.
Exquisite wistaria arranged in
plume fashion trims some of the new
French hats most effectively. Many
sprays are used to carry out the idea
of ostrich plumes.
Butterflies in Embroidery.
Butterflies, somewlth folded wings
and others apparently in full flight,
are poised among loops and swirls
iof ribbon, on front and sleeves of a
dainty embioldered blouse.
Whito and Yellow.
White trimmed with pale yellow
is to be worn a great deal this sea
son, and particularly in the shirt
waists 'and summer dresses. There
are gowns of soft white ntntprlnl
silk mull, cashmere, voile, taffeta and
crepe de chine that am mnrlo nnni.
tlvely ravishing by the addition of
some yellow lace or the application
or lace ecru, gold or coffee. The com
bination is one of the prettiest to be
seen for many a season.
Over Mouse or Juniper.
Fresh variations of the over waist
are constantly appearing, and the
fashion is altogether such a graceful
and charming one that its favor
seems likely to be indefinitely pro'
longed. Here is one of the very sim
plest yet most effective that includes
the mandarin or kimono sleeves, and
that can be made either with a V
Bhaped or a square opening. As illus
trated it is made of pongee with silk
braid and heavy applique, and is
worn over a lace gulmpe, but one of
the many advantages of the waist of
this sort is that it allows the use of
any gulmpe that may be found In the
wardrobe or of any preferred style,
while the waist itself is adapted to
almost every seasonable material.
For Immediate wear the pongees,
light weight silk, veilings and the
like are exceeding popular, while a
little later washable fabrics so made
will be equally smart.
The blouse Is made in one piece,
there being under-arm seams only,
and is drawn on over the head, the
fulness- being regulated at the waist
line by means of tapes. The V-shaped
opening is apt to be very generally
becoming, but the square one also
has certain advantages and both are
equally smart.
Tho qunntlty of material required
for the medium size is two and three
eighth yards twenty-one, one and
three-quarter yards twenty-seven or
one and one-quarter yards forty-four
inches wide, with five yards of braid
and one and three-quarter yards of
applique.
Poplinette' In New.
Popllnctte is one of the now wnsh
materials. It launders perfectly, and
many will use it for theirmornlng and
street frocks in preference to linen
because it does not wrinkle and muss
as cnsily.
Gloves Must MnUli.
Just as your gloves will either
match your costumes or the eoler in
the trimming, so will your hat. ' It
must be one or the other.

Faith.
Faith is one's immovable confidence
in that which may not be so, after ail.
Man has faith in himself. He thinks
he is considerable, and his wif being
a wise woman, does not disillusion
him, but lets hjm go on thinking he
is all he believes himself to.be. In the
hope that her faith In him may ccme
true.
Faith is stronger than hope, more
friendly than charity, and is some
thing that neither knowledge, experi
ence nor the incapacity ot our jails
can ever utterly degtroy.
Faith is helpful alike to all, for it is
a stronghold for him who would be
honest, and a refuge for the crook.
Such is faith. W. F. Rice in Life.
