QUAD, is | | g Copyright, 1901, by C. B. Lewis. & * ir We were loading the Liverpool brig Nemo for Loudon at Bombay und 1 had been shipped as second mate of her when one day a boy about 10 years of age came down to the craft and en deavored to ship as cabin boy, assist ant to the cook or as an apprentice. He was jmi English lad who had run away from home and wanted to get back. He was frank spoken, bad an honest, innocent face, and I was glad to help him to an interview with the captain, it did him no good, however. Captain Joyce was a selfish, hard heart ed man, and he not only refused the lad tiie place he could easily have made for him, but cursed lilm roundly for having dared to come aboard. I felt sorry for the boy and slipped him a crown, and when lie went over the side I advised him to try other vessels und not get discouraged. I did not know that the boy returned and worked on the sympathies of some of our crew and was stowed away by them In the forehold, but that was what happened. Had I or any other otlicer of the ship got an In kling of his presence the stowaway would have boen hauled out of his hid ing place very quickly, but he was smuggled aboard so adroitly that only two or three sailors knew of his pres ;Jl A" f' brMm #r SI aw#iiir Til Eli JL WAS TUB HULL OF TIIE SUNSHINE, encc until we were three days at sea. Then by their advice be showed him self and offered to do anything lie was set at to pay his way. Some shipmas ters would have put him to work and said no more about it, as he could have beeu made very useful, but Captaiii Joyce was pleased to look unon it as a heinous offense not to be overlooked. After abusing the lad for ten minutes by word of mouth lie picked up a rope's end and flogged him till some of the men cried out against it. That stopped the Hogging for the time be ing, but the lad was set at the dirtiest of work, given only food enough to keep soul and body together and was cursed at and struck whenever- the captain could reach him. The first mate joined his superior in this, while I stood as neutral as I could. Had 1 openly symputldzed with the lad 1 should have had a row with the cap tain, but I could and did show him de cent treatment and encourage the men to do likewise. We had run as far south as the Laek udivh islands and owing to a strong gule had been set in much nearer than our course lay when one day, as the brig was becalmed under the lee of one of the smaller islands, I was ordered to take a crew ami row the boy ashore and leave him. I was at first for refus ing point blank, as it was a monstrous thing to do, but I saw that the captain was in liquor and would have the af fair carried out at any cost. Any re fusal to obey orders would result in my being disrated and clapped in Irons. 1 realized also that 1 could help the wan derer more by going than by refusing. While the boat was being made ready 1 slipped down to my stateroom after matches, a knife, some fishhooks and other things ami upon returning to the deek found that the captain had pro vided tiie lad with about ten pounds of hard bread, the same of pork and uu old kettle. He refused lilm matches, however, and It was a lucky thing that i 1 had brought three or four dozen along. The lad made no fuss about go ing, although he knew that he was to be set nshore on a lonely Islnnd. I know he was In deadly fear of "the cap tain and mate and to escape them In I any manner was a relief. On the way j to shore I advised lilm as best I could, | and the men at the oars were not hack j ward In expressing their sympathy, and when we left Joey on the beach he was feeling quite stout hearted. What happened to that lad after we sailed away reads like a romance. He j bad been marooned on one of the most ! easternmost of the group, and perhaps the Island had never been explored by j white men. It was three miles long ! by two broad, with n ridge running its length. Indeed, there were two ridges, anil between them was a creek run ning to the north. At its mouth this crook widened into a little harbor. The boy had boon on the island for a ! week before he climbed the ridges and found them full of living springs which fed the creek. He followed the creek down to its mouth and there I made the strangest of finds. Three | years previously, while on a voyage from Bombay to Liverpool, the bark | Sunshine lffid boon dismasted at soa i and deserted by her crew for a wreck. [ She was laden with wool, hides, dye woods and minerals, and her cargo ] was appraised at nearly a million dol lars. Her crew had been picked up at sea, the vessel listed us lost and the In surance paid, and yet as Joey reached j the little harbor there was the hull of , the Sunshine with her nose on the | bench. Wind, wave and current had drifted her all of 700 miles and finally whirled her into that spot. Her huil I was sound and her hatches on, and her j cargo had not been damaged to the | amount of a hundred dollars. I Three weeks later the boy's signal | smoke on the beach brought a vessel to Ills rescue, ami he said not a word of his find till he reached Bombay and found men In whom he could trust. Then an expedition was fitted out, the hull and cargo were got to Bombay in : safety, and the courts allowed the boy i salvage enough to make him rich to j the end of his days. In marooning a i poor stowaway lad whose only crime was wanting to return to his native J land Captain Joyce had as good as thrown SIIOO,OOO at him and raised him up a thousand friends. Why Albinos 110 Not See Well. According to Dr. A. D. Williams, the white, flaxen hair of albinos shows that there Is a deficiency of coloring materials In their bodies. Further proof of this fact Is found in the ab sence of the necessary amount of pig ment in their eyes. Such persons have pink eyes because there is not pig ment enough In the Iris and upon Its posterior surface to prevent the red re flex of the fundus from shining through the iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed by strong light because there Is not sufficient coloring to prevent the ingress of a flood of it, the bright glare entering not only through the pupil, but through the substance of the iris as well. The choroid being likewise deficient in pigment, the excessive amount of light dazzles and greatly confuses the vision. Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments in the choroid prevents the light after It has acted on the retina from being absorbed, that being the main function of the choroidal pigment. Albinism is an unfortunate condition, as there is no way to supply the defi cient pigment to the iris and choroid. A Lively Camp. In 1851 Mokelumne Ilill was one of the worst camps In California. "Who was shot last week?" was the first question asked by tlie miners when they came in from the river or sur rounding diggings on Saturday nights or Sundays to gamble or get supplies. It was very seldom that the answer was, "No one." Men would race up and down the thoroughfares in single file, as boys play the game of "follow-my leader," each imitating the actions of the fore most. Selecting some particular letter In a sign they would fire in turn, re gardless of everything but the accu racy of the aim. Then they would quar rel over it as though they were boys playing a game of marbles, while every shot was likely to kill or wound some unfortunate person.—Exchange. Wny to Take People. One of the greatest lessons in life is to learn to take people at their best, not their worst; to look for the divine, not the human, in them; the beautiful, not the ugly; the bright, not the dark; the straight,- not the crooked side. A habit of looking for the best in ; everybody and of saying kindly in stead of unkindly things about them strengthens the character, elevates the ideals and tends to produce happiness. i It also helps to create friends. We like to be with those who see the di- I vine side of us, who see our possibili ties, who do not dwell upon the dark side of our life, hut upon the bright side. This is the office of a true friend, to help us discover our noblest selves. —Success. It Looked Inviting;. I was visiting a magistrate In Kerry county when a stalwart fellow was brought in a prisoner, charged with I nearly killing an old baldheaded man, whose head was a bloody mass. "What was it this fellow did lo you?" asked the magistrate. "Nothing." "Then what made you do it?" "Well, I'll tell yer honor Hod's truth. Ye see, 1 came late into the fair, luck was ag'in me, for all Ihe fighting was over, so as 1 wys strutting about looking for some boy to cross a stick wid I saw this poor man's bald head poked out of a slit or the t*nt that he might cool it, and it | looked so inviting that for the soul of j me 1 couldn't help hitting the blow."— | 6.

Wit li | respect to the notes you write me t about, I wish you to do by them as you would by your own, as I do not want at present either principle or Interest. 1 think it would be most for my Inter | est to do by them as you propose. The j method you mention, of adding to the j outhouse so as to give me a dairy room, | I like very much and would leave It to t your judgment. I think It would be best to have It large enough to take of a closet that cold victuals, etc., may not jbe mixt in with dairy affairs. I should be ghul to have it eompleated if possl j hie before I return in tlie spring, hut the winter has set in with great vio ] lenee here, and the rivers are already J frozen up, so that I fear we shall not I have a chance of getting any cheese ! here. !

From your ever affec tionate ABIOAIL ADAMS. THE BRITISH TOURIST. He Wn< PleiiNiiiiUy Snrprlaed by the Train Boy's Aileiillons. The British tourist sat in the car and gazed idly across.the bleak prairies. | He felt a slight touch and, looking ! around, found that a uniformed youth j had deposited several ruddy oranges | on tlie seat. j "He didn't wait for tlie money," re -1 marked tlie tourist, gazing from tlie j fruit to the rapidly retreating train boy. "He never docs," said tlie fellow pas senger, with a knowing smile. "Oil, I see! It is one of the advan tage of your great railroad system. Free fruit for its patrons." The British tourist was just peeling tlie second orange when a dainty pack age of chocolate confectionery was de posited on his knee. "By Jove," he exclaimed enthusias tically, "this Is delightful! When I re turn home, 1 shall write a paper on the excellence of American travel." In less than ten minutes he was the recipient of another package. It was a | little box containing a black cigar and two matches. "No wonder you Americans like to travel," he said, lilting the bitter end of tlie cigar. Then lie found that a comic publication had found its way to Ills scat. "This is great!" he grinned. "1 am going to tip the hoy. Wait a moment." Tlie train boy halted, and the tourist held out a dime. "What Is that for?" asked the hoy. "For yourself." "You owe me n half, mister." "Owe? 1 thought you wore giving | these things away?" | "Not today. Tlie half, please." J "But why don't you take the money | when you leave the stuff?" | "Because we'd never sell It." The tourist reluctantly handed over the coin. "Going to write about tlie excellence of American travel?" asked the fellow passenger. "Not I," responded the British tour- ' Ist. "I am going home and tell the na tion about the train robberies over here!"— Exchange.
