CHAPTER XVII.
Having got ossess:on of the priv&toor
thus neatly and expeditiously, and having
Tut matters in trnin for securing and tak
ing out his prize. Captain Smith stalked
aft and entered the cabin. Passing
through it, he opened the door of the after
cabin, cast off the lashings, pulled out the
gag, and set the irate Major Jones free
His wrath had gathered potency, his re
sent ment had increased, during his period
of detention and repression. He had
heard, if he had not seen, and he knew
pretty well what had taken place.
"I'm sorry," said Smith politely, "to
have treated a gentleman of your age and
position with such apparent discourtesy,
hut circumstances over which I had no
control compelled me to assume a harsh
ness foreign to my nature."
"Ixok here, young man, did you release
me to insult me?"
"You are right, sir," answered Smith,
"I beg your pardon.. I intend "
"To take me to a Northern prison, I
suppose."
"To let you go free. You are a non
combatant." "I won't be one long! You've taken
my blockade-runner, you've taken my pri
vateer. I hope you re satisfied. I
"Not quite, sir. There is one more
thing I must have.'
'That is?"
"'Your daughter."
"Take her."
"Thank you, sir. Will you kindly sit
down at that table and write a note
which I shall have someone take up to
the house, requesting her to dress and
:ome here?"
"No, I won't!"
"Pardon me, sir, but you are still a
prisoner, you know. You must do what
I eay. Will you write that note?"
There was no answer.
"I asked you a question, Major Jones,"
repeated Captain Smith with a ring as
of steel in his voice.
"It's not necessary to send for her," an
swered the Major, sullenly defiant, "she's
In there."
"In there?" exclaimed Smith, springing
at the door to get it open.
"The door is locked," said Miss Ellen,
demurely enough.
"I see." Captain Smith turned to Ma
jor Jones. "Where are the keys, sir?"
"I don't kuow. They were here."
"You took them with you when you
went out with the man," said Miss Ellen
from the inner cabin.
"Oh, yes, I remember," said the young
officer, fumbling in his pocket. Drawing
out the bunch, he tried half a dozen be
fore he succeeded in fitting one to the lock
and opened the door. Out stepped Miss
Ellen.
"Were you in there all the time?"
"Yes."
"Did you hear everything?"
"Every word."
"You heard this young ruffian threaten
to murder me and never made a sound !"
exclaimed the Major. "It's on a par with
your other conduct."
"I knew he wouldn't harm you, sir."
"But if he had?"
"I should have interfered."
"You've interfered enough In the last
two days, you faithless "
"Pardon me, Major Jones," said Cap
tain Smith, "but I will not allow you to
address Miss Jones in this manner. lie
member, you are still a prisoner."
"Am I a prisoner, too?" queried Miss
Ellen.
"You are as free as the air."
"What are you going to do?"
"We're getting steam up as fast as we
can and I'm going out to sea with the two
ships" the Major groaned. "Will you
go with me, Miss Ellen? your daughter
is my promised wife, Major or do you
prefer to stay with your father?"
"I tell you I will have none of her !"
interrupted the old man savagely. "She
has betrayed me. She has been false to
me. one has left me. If you want her,
take her. I could wish you no worse for
tune." "Mr '." said Smith, thoroughly indig
nant now, "if you give voice to another
insult I'll gag you again !"
"Remember, he is my father,' remon
strated the girl, laying her band on her
lover's arm.
"I don't admit it," snarled the old
man.
"Miss Ellen," said Smith quietly, "we
are going away. Y'ou can go as my pas
senger or you can go as in any capac
ity you please or you can stay."
"I will go, and as your promised wife,
or not at all."
"Rah !" snorted the old soldier.
"Just a moment, sir," said the Captain.
"Those words are sweet to me, and I
don't want the effect spoiled by any irrele
vant interruptions from you. But, Miss
Ellen, do you go with me because your
father turns you off or "
"I go with you because I love you,"
said the girl, standing very erpct and look
ing directly at him.
He took her hand with an old-fashioned
gpsture which well became him and
kissed it.
"Major Jones, when you are ready to
leave you are free. I regret more than
I can express the loss you have sustained.
My Hhare of the prize-money will be con
siderable. I shall be glad to make It over
to you."
"I wouldn't touch a penny of your
money!" shoutI the old man wratlifully
"Then I shall see that it goes where
I presume your property would eventually
have gone, to your daughter.
"Not a cent of money shall you get
from me!"
"That makes no difference to you, does
It?" asked the girl quickly.
"Miss Ellen, this makes me more anx
lou to w in you than ever," he responded
fervcntlv.
Just then old Hob Gantlin burst uncere
monious into the cabin.
"The boatswain's mate," exclaimed Mias
Elian, starting back.

"lie's after me this time," laughed the
Captain.
"Cap'n Smith," said the old sailor in
great alarm, "there's some boats comin'
up the inlet, sir. The oars seems to be
muffled, but we kin make 'em out, sir.
There's half a dozen on 'em, an' "
"Wait," said the Captain, leaping for
the door.
"My turn now,' sneered the Major tri
umphantly. "Not yet," answered Smith, disappear-'
ing.
As he reached the deck he became aware
of a small group of horsemen who gal
loped up the road and halted on the
wharf. They dismounted, and one of
their number came towards the Ellen.
They were the nearest foemen, and they
must be attended to first. The American
sailors on the privateer weer armed with
cutlasses, guns, and bayonets. In the
darkness they had not been able to get
any powder yet. There were still five
shots in Smith's revolver, however. He
ran to the gangway.
"Hack !" he cried. "Stay where you
are or I fire!"
"This was the party of men Major
Jones had dispatched after Smith. The
approaching man did not stop, and the
others, who had dismounted, started to
wards the ship. The revolver cracked and
the foremost man shrieked and fell, a bul
let through his shoulder.
"What's the meaning of this?" shouted
the second man.
"This ship is in possession of the Unit
ed States. If you do not wish to be shot
down, run for your lives."
The men turned and fled instantly,
taking with them their wounded com
rade. "The boats, sir," said Gantlin ; "they're
close aboard."
Smith ran to the other side. There he
discerned a black blur on the water. Ire
heard the unmistakable "cheep" of oars
in the rowlock a man-of-war stroke, he
thought. As he stared he made out a
second, then a third. His heart sank
within him. Was he to fail, after all?
At least, they should have a fight for it.
"Men." he said, "we'll make 'em fight
when they come alongside."
The statement was received with cheers
by the St. Lawrence's men, led by Gant
lin. The boats were closer now, conceal
ment was no longer possible. There was'
an answering cheer from the water. The
men on the thwarts bent to the oars..
"That's no rebel yell," cried Smith ex
citedly.
"That's a man-o'-war stroke an' a man-
o'-war cher," cried Gantlin.
"Boat ahoy '." shouted Smith, hollowing
his hand.
There was no answer from any of the
boats, now close aboard.
"We have captured this privateer !"
roared Smith. They could lose nothing
by telling the truth now. "We're from
the St. Lawrence. Keep off. Declare
yourselves or I'll fire! Who are you?"
"I believe I know that voice," came
fiom the nearest boat.
"Dillingham?" exclaimed Smith eagerly.
"Ay, is it Captain Smith?"
"It is."
"Well !" exclaimed Dillingham, swing
ing his boat alongside. "I always get
there too late," he said disgustedly as
he mounted to the deck. "Not hearing
from you, the Commodore got anxious and
ventured to send the Wamego through the
inlet and across the sound. Nobody saw
us. We had no chart and had to wait
until nightfall, and then, not daring to
take the ship in here. Captain Chase gave
me this boat expedition. We supposed
you were killed or captured."
"Not a bit of it." said Smith confi
dently, "we're just getting up steam to get
away. I'm awfully glad you came, though.
Bring your men on board and send one
boat's crew over to the Greyhound. I
want to bring her out as well."
"Do you know the river?"
"I marked it well when I came in and
I guess I can get along."
"P.eg pardon, sir," said a man com'ng
out of the darkness, "but Mr. Cleff says
that he'll have steam up in five minutes."
"Quick work, that," said Smith glee
fully ; "we 11 cast off at once. I irst, I
want you to come into the cabin a mo
ment, Dillingham."
"Luck is against you. Major," said
Smith, genially, "the boats are ours, not
yours. Allow me to present to you
Lieut. John B. Dillingham, of the United
States ship Wamego."
"Glad to meet you, sir," said Dilling
ham, who was very much mystified.
"It's more than I am," said the Major,
turning his back.
"And this," said the Captain, facing
Dillingham about, "is Miss Ellen Jones,
my affianced wife."
"Well, you are in luck," said Dilling
ham with a sailor's frankness; "and you
have reason to be congratulated as well,
madam."
"Are you through with me?" asked the
Major.
"Yes," answered Smith, "we're about to
cast off."
"Father." said Ellen piteously, "before
I go won't you "
"Silence!' cried the unrelenting man
and stamped his foot in rage and stalked
out of the cabin.
"DiUingham," aid Smith, "see him over
the side, will you? I'll be out in a mo
ment."
"I understand," said Dillingham, smil
ing. "Oh," said Smith, approaching the
blushing Ellen when they were alone, "I
thought you were a traitor."
"No," said the girl, clicking back a sob.
"only a woman whose father has cast her
off. who has nothing but you."
"I shall try to be everything to you."
said the young man.
"You will have to be," said Mis Ellen,
smiling through her tears, and then she
was lost in hi arms.
The evening after thse exciting adven
ture the little flotilla, led by the pri
vateer, with the blockade-runner ! the
middle and the gunboat in the rear, flags
flying from every masthead, rounded to off
the lee of the St. Lawrence, which had
been cruising to and fro on the ocean off
Ocracoke Inlet. A boat was called away
on the Ellen and rowed to the frigate.
"Commodore," said the triumphant
Smith to the old soldier, who met him
at the gangway, "yonder is the Ellen, and
here" ho turned and took the hand of a
young lady who had preceded him up the
battens "is the lady."
"Did you bring them both to me, sir?"
laughed the Commodore.
"No, sir. Yon may have the privateer.
The lady 1 reserve for myself."

DAN SULLY NOW A CLERK.
Former Gotham Planner Hm Gone
to Work on Salary.
Daniel J. Sully, who, It seems only
yesterday, was the Llvermore of the
cotton market, has gone to work on a
salary, the New York World siys. No
longer the millionaire employer,, the
man who made hundreds of brokers
jump awl squirm as he squeezid or ex
panded cotton to his fancy, nas de
scended from his high eminence to the
post of factotum in the cotton oenceru
of Hayden. Stone & Co.
The whilom "King" Sully Is now a
cotton expert at a salary estimated at
$10,000 n year. Only four years ago
be often made that In a day. He would
spend it on a horse or a picture. But
fate has swept the floor of uis ricnes
and he must now toil a year for what
was before a paltry dripping of his
huge operations.
Mr. Sullv's new office Is at 25 Broad
street. It is a well equipped office as
oflices go, but woefully shabby and dull
oomnnred with the splendid, bustling
suite he occupied In the day of his
rent prosperity.
In those vears (1003-1004) Sully was
not regarded as a conservative. In
fact, he was heralded as the greatest
nlmiffor the cotton exchange had ever
known. He bought and sold by the
tens of thousands of bales. He dictated
nrlecs bv squeezes and Inflations, by
tilting his holdings this way and that
to suit the whim of his speculations.
Rut all that Is changed. lie has be
come an ultra conservative. As an ex
pert he must give no radical opinions.
And he says that he is through with
speculation forever.
"I will convince the people, ne says,
that I am a conservative. I have at
tached myself to one of the most con
servative houses in America.'
Mr. Sullv no longer lives in a man
sion on 5th avenue, but maintains a
modest villa in Pel ham Manor. He Is
no longer a member of any exchange.

ored to become a "soap king," lost him
the remainder of his fortune -?2,0,()00.
A Dramatic Climax.
James T. Brady, who was o.ie of
New York's greatest lawyers, was once
counsel for a young woman In a case
Involving an attempt to break a win.
Ills client sat by his side. She was
a verv beautiful young woman, whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the atten
tion of those upon whom her glance
fell. There was a pathetic expression
which affected every one. She sat
watching the jury during the course or
the trial, and at last there was some
complaint that she was attempting by
means of her glances to exe'te tne
sympathy of the jury.
Then Mr. Brady arose and in one
of th most touching and beautiful of
all the addresses he ever made in court
spoke of the blessings which every one
u-hn had an appreciation of beautiful
things and could see them enjoyed and
dwelt for some moments upon the hap
py lot of the jury who could see tlie
budding of the flowers it was then
springtime and the charms of nature.
Then, suddenly turning to his client,
he said. "That blessing is denied my
client, for, though she lias eyes which
seem to look upon you. gentlemen, there
is no vision in them, for her sight has
been taken from her."
. She had been, in fact, the victim of
total paralysis of the optic nerve,
which had not impaired the beauty of
her eyes, but had given to them that
singular pathetic expression which she
was thus falsely charged with employ
ing that she might secure the sympa
thies of the jury.
Mlaplaced Sympathy.
A traveler passing through a moun
tain district in northern Pennsylvania
last summer came across a Hd of 16
cultivating a patch of miserable pota
toes. He remarked upon their unprom
ising appearance, and expressed pity
for anyone that had to dig a living
out of such soil.
"I don't need no pity," said the boy,
resentfull V.
The traveler hastened to soothe his
wounded pride. But In the offended
tone of one who has been misjudged,
the boy added: "I ain't as poor as you
think. I'm only workin here. I don't
own this place." Everybody's Maga
zine. Whereujon there ensued a struggle
to Induce the applicant to relinquish
her idea that she must be addressed
bv In r Christian name. For some time
she was rigidly uncompromising.
Tudor the circumstances," said the
lady of the house, "there is nothing to
do Imt to follow the English custom
and call ym by your last name. By
the way, v. bat Is It?"
"Well, mum," answered the girl, du
biously, "it's 'Darling.'" Harper's
Weekly.
Ills Error.
"I am very sorry to hoar, Capt. Sal
ter, that your wife left you so uncere
moniously." "My mistake, sir. I took her for a
mate, and she proved to be a skipper."
Farm IaiY.
Laws governing the ownership of
real estate have been evolved from the
mutual rights of man to the soil and
his relations to his fellow man and the
public welfare Ownership of land is
one of the great upholding forces of
modern civilization. No man, however,
acquires a right to real estate that he
can maintain against the public wel
fare, which has the power to condemn
property needed for public use, or that
Is a menace to public life and health.
All men's rights in real estate are cir
cumscribed by the rights of adjoining
owners and the paramount interests of
the general government, which can take
possession of the property after ap
praisal and condemnation for the gen
eral welfare. If the government did
not retain the right to condemn and
take property belonging to private par
ties, then the individual holding would
be an empire in itself and block all
progress and public improvements.
All real estate Is defined and circum
scribed by boundary corners and lines
as established by government survey.
The States are divided into counties,
and the counties subdivided into town
ships, and the townships into sections
of 040 acres. Each section is divided
into quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions In the conveyance of the
property. The meridian lines were
used In description of real estate, and
In the government survey section and
quarter section corners are established
to mark the boundaries of public lands.
In purchasing land it is well In the
preliminary examination to ascertain
the corners and boundary lines of the
property and ascertain if the adjoining
owner Is satisfied with the division
fences. If one purchases eighty acres
and he apprehends that the land is
short measure it would be better to
have the property surveyed before the
transfer is made. The government cor
ners should be marked by a stone not
easily removed, and if the corner Is so
designated subsequent surveys may
make the property more or less than
the description, but cannot change the
monumental corners established by the
original government survey.
Farms are occupied Individually and
not in severalty, and the new pur
chaser should ascertain before closing
the purchase the division of the Hue
fences which inclose the property and
discover if such division Is satisfactory
to adjoining property holders, as ex
pensive litigation has often grown out
of a misunderstanding of land bound
aries and division fences. Every pur
chase of real estate should be hedged
about by the removal of every obstacle
that might cause a misunderstanding
between neighbors. Goodall's Farmer.
Unique Vegetable Digger.
Something new and novel in the way
of vegetable diggers has been devised
by a Kentucky farmer, the object of
the contrivance be
ing to catch up onions
and similar vegeta
bles and the neces
sarily accompanying
dirt and by slight
shaking separate the
dirt from the vege
table. It can readily
be carried in the
hands of the oper
ator, who can easily

shake the digger after he has taken up
a quantity of the soil and vegetable. In
construction the digger resembles a
miniature wheelbarrow, the receptacle
forming the body being made of sheet
metal containing Innumerable perfora
tions. At the front or small end of
the receptacle Is a swinging door, be
neath which is a small shovel. In op
eration t he d'gger Is used as a shovel
In lifting the vegetable and the, sur
rounding soil. The digger is then
shaken, separating the vegetable from
the soil, and allowing the latter to pass
out through the ierf orations.
Seedleaa Grape.
What's become of the "coreless" ap
ple? Twenty years ago it was an
nounced as a discovery or a develop
ment calculated to revolutionize the or
chard industry. Of late we hear less
about It.
A little later the "thornless" black
berry appeared on the horizon. It cer
tainly was thornless, but somehow it
failed to drive the ferociously-armed
brambles of the berry gardens Into the
desert. It is still produced, but the
older kinds are yet much more com
mon. Now the "seedless" grape bids for fa
vor. Such a fruit would surely "meet
a long-felt want," says Country Life
in America. If the quality and flavor
of the few thus far grown can be ier
petuated and It proves remuneratively
productive and capable of "standing
up" for shipment there is a big future
before it
Blind Staggera.
The Louisiana Experiment Station
has been studying blind staggers in
horses, its cause and cure. But noth
ing definite could be found. It is their
opinion that the cause of the disease
Is In some way associated with the con
ditions of the feeding materials, such
as grass, or cured products of corn,
brought about by the stacks of mold
or fungua.
Feed for Cw,
Tte cow likes a variety of food, and
it pays to give It to her. For the stim
ulation of the appetite and aid In dl
gcstlon, some of her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter. Some linseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals
It Is not only a rich feed, but an ex
cellent regulator of the digestive or
gans. Clover and alfalfa hay are both
rich in milk-forming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, as cows greatly relish the
grain, and it helps In forming butter
fat and in producing animal fat . Give
the cows about all they will eat up
clean of each feed, but shift changes
often, not onlj the kinds, but the
amounts of each kind, at different
times. This change gives a stimulat
ing variety to feeds, and the cows
thrive and produce on it.
Simple Kgg-Teater.
The average person evidently Imag
ines that it is impossible for the dealer
to distinguish bad eggs and good eggs.
This supposition is
natural, inasmuch as
so many eggs of
questionable purity
reach the dinner ta
ble. If the dealer
desired he could
readily discard eggs
of doubtful age, as
there are numerous
devices for testing
them. One of the
EGG TESTES.
most recent is shown in the accompany
ing illustration, patented by a Minne
sota farmer. It consists of a wooden
frame, or casing, across the top of
which is a leather support for the eggs,
the latter resting in flexible apertures.
In the bottom of the casing is an in
clined mirror. Mounted on the upper
part of the frame Is a light-reflecting
hood in which is placed a lamp or oth
er suitable lllumiuant. In operation
eggs are placed over the aperture and
the light falling on the eggs will cast
a shadow upon the mirror if they ore
unsound. The soundness of the eggs Is
indicated by the clearness of the light
that falls through them upon the mir

The Froaen-Meat Trade.
Frozen Chinese pork is to be Import
ed Into England, which recalls to the
mind of a writer in the Loudon Chron
icle the fact that the frozen meat trade
Is nearly a century old. On Jan. 30,
1S1G, three Eskimos arrived at Har
wich, England, by the packet from
Gothenburg, bringing five sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackcock and oth
er game, frozen and packed in air-tight
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $250 duty on the con
signment and $30 for carriage from
Harwich to London ; but, as the game
was in excellent condition, it found n
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out of the
speculation that they remained In Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits in royal fashion; but, despite
the success of the experiment, It does
not appear to have been repeated.
To Fatten Fonli.
A good method for fattening fowls
Is given by a reader: Shue the fowls
up in a dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup
ply them well with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheat
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
the food, and bear in mind the Impor
tance of "stuffing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening, as
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than a large number, and If it
is practical to pen them off, six to a
pen is the right number. Give no green
stuff to these fowls, but rations of
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread,
cracked corn and whole wheat may be
given. Fowls crowded and stuffed in
this way should be in fine condition 111
three weeks.
How to Load a Wagon.
It is generally believed that the load
pulls easier if put well forward on the
wagon. But this is not so on the ordl
nary wagon, where the hind wheels are
larger than the front ones. Should the
wheels be equal in size, the load should
be equally distributed. If the trucks
are so low down that the horses have an
upward pull on the load, then it would
lie all right to put the load well for
ward. The load should be proportioned
to the surface contact of the wheels.
A large wheel sinks less than a small
one; therefore, the load should be
heaviest on the hind wheels. Distrib
ute the weight so that no one wheel
or no one side is carrying the greater
share, lest it make the draft excessive
for the tonnage carried.
Plant Treea.
Tlan now your home forest In this
twentieth century there Is no large
farm so valuable in its products but
that it can afford an artificial grove.
We must not now Judge by past ex
perience, but by the light of the pres
ent. But the forest you are about to plant
may be more or less valuable. Make it
more so by wise selections. The day of
the box-elder and cottonwood is over.
It might pay to plant them rather than
nothing, but you may do better. Plant
the ash. the catalpa, the larch. Plant
nut trees and the oaks.
Timber Is better than the precious

vest, It Is one of the surest of crops.
Land owners must awake to their op
portunity, for there Is money In trees.
