Ask Mr. No- lan to come here.” And when Nolan came, the captain said: “Mr. Nolan, we are all very grateful to you today ; you are one of us today; you will be named in the dispatches.” And then the old man took off his own sword of ceremony, and gave it to Nolan, and made him put it on. The man told me this who saw it. Nolan cried like a baby, and well he might. He had not worn a sword since that infernal day at Fort Adams. But al- ways afterward, on occasions of cere- mony, he wore that quaint old French sword of the commodore’s. The captain did mention him in the dispatches. It was always said he asked that he might be pardoned. He wrote a special letter to the secretary of war. But nothing ever came of it. As I sald, that was about the time when they began to ignore the whole transaction at Washington, and when Nolan's imprisonment began to carry itself on because there was nobody to stop it without any new orders from home, I have heard it said that he was with Porter when he took possession of the Nukahiwa islands. Not this Porter, you know, but old Porter, his father, Essex Porter, that is, the old Essex Porter, not this Essex. As an artil- lery officer, who had seen service in the West, Nolan knew more about for- tifications, embrasures, ravelines, stockades, and all that, than any of them did; and he worked with a right good will in fixing that battery all right. I have always thought it was a pity Porter did not leave him In command there with Gamble. That would have settled all the question about his punishment. We should have kept the islands, and at this mo- ment we should have one station in the Pacific ocean. Our French friends, too, when they wanted this little wa- tering place, would have found it was pre-occupied. But Madison and the Virginians, of course, flung all that away. All that was near fifty years ago. If Nolan was thirty then, he must have been near eighty when he died. He looked sixty when he was forty. But he never seemed to me to change a hair afterward. As I imagine his life, from what I have seen and heard of it, he must have been in every sea, and yet almost never on land. He must have known in a formal way, more officers in our service than any man living knows. He told me once, with a grave smile, that no man in the world lived so methodical a life as he. “¥ou know the boys say I am the Iron Mask, and you know how busy he was.” He said it did not do for anyone to try to read all the time, more than to do anything else all the time; but that he read just five hours a day. “Then,” he said, “I keep up my note- books, writing in them at such and such hours from what I have been reading; and I include in them my scrapbooks.” These were very curious indeed. He had six or eight, of differ- ent subjects. There was one of his- tory, one of natural science, one which he called “Odds and Ends.” But they were not merely books of extracts from newspapers. They had bits of plants and ribbons, shells tied on, and carved scraps of bone and wood, which he had taught the men to cut for him, and they were beautifully illustrated. He drew admirably. He had some of the funniest drawings there, and some of the most pathetic, that I have ever geen in my life. I wonder who will have Nolan's scrapbooks. Well, he said his reading and his notes were his profession, and that they took five hours and two hours respectively of each day. “Then,” said he, “every man should have a di- version as well as a profession. My natural history is my diversion.” That took two hours a day more. The men used to bring him birds and fish, but on a long cruise he had to satisfy him- self with centipedes and cockroaches and such small game. He was the only naturalist I ever met who knew any- thing about the habits of the house fly and the mosquito. All those people can tell you whether they are Lepi- doptera or Steptopotera; but as for telling how you can get rid of them, or how they get away from you when you strike them, why, Linnaeus knew as little of that as John Foy, the idiot, gid. These nine hours made Nolan's regular daily “occupation.” The rest @e Man Without © A Country & 6 Edward Everett Hale of the time he talked or walked.

We were in the South Atlantic on that business. From the time I joined, I believe I thought Nolan was a sort of lay chaplain—a chaplain with a blue coat. I never asked about him. Ev- erything in the ship was strange to me. I knew it was green to ask ques- tions, and I suppose I thought there was a “Plain-Buttons” on every ship. We had him to dine in our mess once a week, and the caution was given that on that day nothing was to be sald about home. But if they had told us not to say anything about the planet Mars or the book of Deuteronomy, I should not have asked why ; there were a great many things which seemed to me to have as little reason. I first came to understand anything about “the man without a country” one day when we overhauled a dirty little schooner which had slaves on board. An officer was sent to take charge of her, and after a few minutes he sent back his boat to ask that someone might be sent him who could speak Portuguese. We were all looking ovet the rail when the message came, and we all wished we could interpret, when the captain asked who spoke Por- tuguese. But none of the officers did; and just as the captain was sending forward to ask if any of the people could, Nolan stepped out and said he should be glad to interpret, if the cap- tain wished, as he understood the lan- guage. The captain thanked him, fit- ted out another boat with him, and in this boat it was my luck to go. When we got there, it was such a scene as you seldom see, and never want to. Nastiness beyond account, and chaos run loose in the midst of the nastiness. There were not a great many of the negroes; but by way of making what there were understand that they were free, Vaughan had had their handcuffs and anklecuffs knocked off, and, for convenience’ sake, was putting them upon the rascals of the schooner’s crew. The negroes were, most of them, out of the hold, and swarming all round the dirty deck, with a central throng surrounding Vaughan and addressing him in every dialect and patois of a dialect, from the Zulu click up to the Parisian of Beledeljereed. As we came on deck, Vaughan looked down from a hogshead, on which he had mounted in desperation, and said: “For God’s love, is there anybody who can make these wretches under- stand something? The men gave them rum, and that did not quiet them. I \ d % Hushed the Men Down. + knocked that big fellow down twice, and that did not soothe him. And then I talked Choctaw to all of them to- gether; and I'll be hanged if they un- derstood that as well as they under- stood the English.” Nolan said he could speak Por- tuguese, and one or two fine-looking Kroomen were dragged out, who, as it had been found already, had worked for the Portuguese on the coast at Fernando Po. “Tell them they are free,” said Vaughan; “and tell them that these rascals are to be hanged as soon as we can get rope enough.” Nolan explained it in such Portu- guese as the Kroomen could under- stand, and they in turn to such of the negroes as could understand them. Then there was such a yell of delight, clinching of fists, leaping and dancing, kissing of Nolan's feet, and a general rush made to the hogshead by way of spontaneous worship of Vaughan as the deus ex machina of the occasion. “Tell them,” said Vaughan, well pleased, “that I will take them all to Cape Palmas.” This did not answer so well. Cape Palmas was practically as far from the homes of most of them as New Or- Jeans or Rio Janeiro was; that is, they eternally separated from heme there. And their interpreters, as we could understand, instantly said, “Ah, non Palmas,” and began to pro- pose infinite other expedients in most voluble language. Vaughan was rath- er disappointed at this result of his liberality, and asked Nolan eagerly what they said. white hushed the men down, and said: “He says, ‘Not Palmas.’ He says, The drops stood on | forehead as he] and that these devils caught him in the bay just in sight of home, and that he has never seen anybody from home since then, And this one says," choked out Nolan, “that he has not heard a word from his home in six months, while he has been locked ug in an infernal barracoon.” Vaughan always sald he grew gray himself while Nolan struggled through this interpretation. I, who did not un derstand anything of the passion in volved in it, saw that the very ele ments were melting with fervent heat, and that something was to pay some: where. Even the negroes themselves stopped howling as they saw Nofan's agony, and Vaughan's almost equal agony of sympathy. As quick as he could get words, he said: “Tell them yes, yes; tell them they shall go to the Mountains of the Moon if they will. If I sail the schooner through the Great White Desert, they shall go home!” And after some fashion Nolan said so. And then they all fell to kissing him again and wanted to rub his nose with theirs. But he could not stand it long; and getting Vaughan to say he might gc back, he beckoned me down into our boat. As we lay back in the stern sheets and the men gave way, he sald to me: “Youngster, let that show you what it is to be without a family, with- out a home, and without a country. And if you are ever tempted to say a word or to do a thing that shall put a bar between you and your family, your home, and your country, pray God in his mercy to take you that in- stant home to his own heaven. Stick by your family, boy; forget you have a self, while you do everything for them. Think of your home, boy; write and send, and talk about it. Let it be nearer and nearer to your thought, the farther you have to travel from it; and rush to it, when you are free, a? that poor black slave is doing now. And for your country, boy,” and the words rattled in his throat, “and for that flag,” and he pointed to the ship, “never dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you, though the serv- ice carry you through a thousand hells. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or who abuses you, never look at another flag, never let a night pass but you pray God to bless that flag. Remember, boy, that behind all these men you have to do with, behind officers, and government, and people even, there is the country herself, your country, and that you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother, if those devils there had got hold of her today!” I was frightened to death by his calm, hard passion; but I blundered out that I would, by all that was holy, and that I had never thought of doing anything else. He hardly seemed to hear me; but he did, almost in a whisper, say: “Oh, if anybody had said so to me when I was of your age!” I think it was this half-confidence of | his, which I never abused, for I never told this story till now, which after- ward made us great friends. He was very kind to me. Often he sat up, or even got up, at night to walk the deck with me when it was my watch. He explained to me a great deal of my mathematics. He lent me books, and helped me about my reading. He nev- er alluded so directly to his story again; bnt from one and another offi- cer I have learned, in thirty years, what I am telling. When we parted from him in St. Thomas harbor, at the | end of our cruise, I was more Sorry than I can tell. I was very glad to meet him again in 1830; and later in life, when I thought I had some in- fluence in Washington, I moved heav- en and earth to have him discharged. But it was like getting a ghost out of prison. They pretended there was ng such man, and never was such a man. They will say so at the department now! Perhaps they do not know. It will not be the first thing in the serv- ice of which the department appears to know nothing! (TO BE CONTINUED.) FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES His Wife Tells How She Has Lived for Many Years Without Modern Conveniences. In the American Magazine a farm- | er’'s wife tells of some of her experi- | ences. She says: f “My husband does not, or will not, realize that the world has moved, and that what were luxuries a generation ago are necessities now. One of my children died of typhoid fever, the germs of which were, no doubt, brought by flies from the house down the road where they had the disease; for we haven't a screen door in the house, and only a few cheap adjustable screens. “We sleep on feather beds, because mattresses cost money, and the feather beds were in the house—a part of the furnishings that I married, when I took my husband for better or for worse. We have chairs with rounds missing, worn carpets, nicked dishes and cooking utensils that have long since outlived their usefulness. “The house is inconvenient, and for that reason alone housework is much harder than it ouglbt to be, and house work is hard enough in all conscience | on a farm. We have no water in the | house. For 25 years I have fetched and carried water.

THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT THE RED CROSS STARTS CAMPAIGN No Less Than $10,000,600 Will Meet War Needs. APPEAL TO THE NATION Entire Country To Be Canvassed. Member Of British Parliament Describes Suffering In France. Washington. — The greatest cam- paign the Red Cross ever has waged, designed to raise $100,000,000 to care for American soldiers who fight democracy’s battle on European fields and to lend a helping hand to thou- sands in the districts already devas- tated by the war, was launched here at a meeting of representatives of the larger cities of the country. Forty Cities Represented. More than 100 men and women were present from 40 cities and the meet- ing was enthusiastic to a degree that indicated a strong belief in the will ingness of Americans to contribute to the cause of mercy. Henry P. Davison, chairman of the Red Cross War Council, announcing the amount to be raised, said it was certain $100,000,000 would be required “even to approach compliance with the most pressing needs.” Must Handle Big Task. “If each individual American con- tributes his ‘bit’ there can be no fail ure,” he continued. “America will, we feel sure, again demonstrate her ability to handle a big task in a big way. That we may be able to per- form this great task we shall appeal to the generosity and for the hearty co-operation, of the whole American people.” Mr. Divison did not go into details of the plan for raising the money, but an intensive campaign will be under- taken under the leadership of some of the most prominent and active men and women in each community. Ef- forts will be made to secure the co- operation and assistance of recognized leaders who will devote their entire attention for a time to the work. War Conditions Described. Many of the speeches describing the suffering in France and Belgium under German rule brought tears to the eyes of the audience. Ian Malcom, member of Parliament and of the visiting War Commission, pictured the vast machin- ery that is behind the fighting lines to | care for the wounded, and the desola- tion that reigns in the once thriving and populous communities where Ger- many has brought ruin. He said he to raise the money needed. LONDON SEES MUCH U. S. KHAKI. 1,000 Persons Of American Army In Britain.
