The skipper was a man who had a good opinion ot himself and h it no tions. H e bad pulled through ship wreck, mutiny, and other perils ot the deep, but he came a cropper once. For one of hie voyages he had shipped a boatsw ain’s m ate who bore something of a reputation. One day the skipper ordered him aloft to examine a sail on the royal yard. “ 'T aln’t safe, cap’n l" protested the boatsw ain’s m ate; ‘‘the foot-ropes has got to be fixed first.” "Do as I tell you!" tuundr ed the captain. "The foot-ropes are all right. I know they are.” The man went up. Five m inutes later he came tumbl ing down through the rigging from the top of the mast, a distance of over 100 fe e t With a bant; he handed on the belly ot the mainsail and bounded Into one of the canvas-covered boats. The sailors, thinking him dead, crowded about him In a circle. To th e ir am azem ent he sat up. His eyes wandered vacantly about until they rested on the leathery face of the skipper, when they lighted up with Intelligence. "Cap’n,” he said, slowly; "you w a s m istaken about them foot-ropes."

The American Society of London helps upon an average a thousand stranded Americans In a aeason. So far this year, however, only 700 have befen assisted, the New York Sun'a correspondent says. The officials of the society attrib u te th e falling off to the stories about high prices th a t pre ceded th e coronation. The society, which haa been In existence for 13 years, has paid the passage home of over 10,000 persons and haa supported numbers In London until the arrival of funds. Only five per cent, of the money ex pended haa been returned. Thla, how ever, la not considered proof of a lack of gratitude on the p art of the recipients, as a retu rn ts not expected ot moat of the beneficiaries. Of those who have been expected to repay 20 per cent, have kept th eir word. A considerable p art of the efforts of the society Is devoted to the assistance of American Bailors. The home gov ernm ent through the consulates as sists American sailors on American ships, but American ships are few and th e num ber of stranded American sailors la considerable. The society Is doing a work th a t many think belongs to the government. Despite the supposed non-existence of a color prejudice In England, the society has the utm ost difficulty In se curing the retu rn of American negroes to the United States. A whlto man can be assisted and can get a working passage to any p art of th e country, but only three ports, Newport, Cardiff and Swaflsea, are available for the signing on of negroes. It Is noticed this year th a t a num ber of husbands have deserted tbetr wives In England, leaving them stran d ed. This contem ptible method of get ting a divorce on th e ground of de sertion has been nipped In the bud In a number of Instances this year. Twenty-five per cent, of the appli cants for assistance are not Ameri cans, but Englishm en who think the society an easy m eans of getting free passage to America. The usual story 1» th a t the appli cants a re naturalized citizens, but they are never able to present tb elr naturalization papers. In previous years school teachers have made up a considerable percentage of the appli cants, but with the development of personally conducted tours with all charges Included, th ere Is now scarce ly a case a year. Only one-third of the sum expended Is contributed by mem bers of the American society. The burden falls, with a few exceptions, upon th e Americans who reside In London. F. C. Vanduzer, the honorary secre tary, says th a t be could save Ameri can visitors many dollars If they Ig nored casual appeals and referred per sons seeking aid to th e society for In vestigation. For instance, th is week a prom inent American woman for warded to the society a .le tte r appeal ing for help. An Investigation proved th a t th e applicant for assistance was not an American b u t an Englishm an who had been living for th ree year* upon money obtained from easy going Americans who had been "falling" for his tale of hard luck.
