Years Before Captain Dick had been one of Be town’s best-trusted sailing mas- Brs and most-respected representa- ‘jatives but on an unfortunate voyage Bad run his ship on the rocks and 'lost crew and cargo. In spite of his personal bravery and proof that the accident was unavoidable and through no fault of his, the Scotch ¡•verdict of “not proven” had been given. and he had failed to get anoth er ship.

That morning ICaptain Dick had met the pleasure [party and offered hfs boat and ser- [vices, but his habits were well known, 'and his blood-shot eyes bore proof. I only too plainly, of the last night's 'potations, which the many morning drams had failed to rectify. When ten minutes later the party engaged old Enoch, and one of the boys flip pantly remarked, “No Scotch verdict or liad whiskey for us.” Captain Dick turned away with an angry oath and muttered that ho would take his re venge later. After the boat was tied up and Enoch and his son wore leaving the wharf, preceded by his party. Cap tain Dick strode over, planted himself directly in front of the old man. and calling him a vile name, added: “Don’t you know I always want to kill snakes and sneaks, whenever I meet them.” Captain Enoch’s eyes flashed—for he himself had been a fa mous tighter in his day, and no man had ever doubted ins courage—but he answered quietly, "Tut, tut, Captain Dick, we're too old friends to quarrel about nothing, nnd anyway you know my fighting days are over.” “Yes. damn you. didn’t I say you were a sneaking old hypocrite, anil only fit to sail a lot of dudes and school girls?” “Well, I’m going to slap that griz zled old face of yours, and then per haps you'll get up spunk enough to strike back, so I can have an excuse to throw you overboard.” Cries of “shame, shame,” were heard from the loungers near, for everyone loved Cap tain Enoch—and were beginning to hate Captain Dick—and two of the bright college boys that composed the late sailing party hastened Isick to do what they could to prevent the threat from being put into execution. Suddenly a sort of purring sound was heard behind them, as “Scat’s” long body pushed them aside, and in his slow, hesitating, almost girl-like voice, he said: “Captain Dick, don’t THE APPARITION. you strike my father.” Captain Dick stared in stupid amazement. "Why, you young fool, clear out of my way. I've half a mind to double you up and drop you overboard, before I do the old man; get out of my way,” he thundered. The pupils of “Scat’s” eyes nar- rowed, as do those or his feline pro- totype when cornered by some big dog, but he stood still, seemingly un cornered and looking ns ungainly and awkward as If at a school examina tion. The captain started towards him. with his arm raised and his powerful fist clenched, and old Enoch hastily grabbed a club that lay on the softly: wharf. But “Scat" said “Never mind. Pap—just you watch me.” Stepping rapidly backward, as the captain continued to advance, he deftly calculated the distance, and as I quick as lightning threw a hand spring. Instead of landing on his feet, he shot out those immense hob nailed shoes witli fearful force, land ing them both full in the captain’s face, cutting it to the bone in a dozen places. Captain Dick dropped as if hit by a cannon ball, without even a groan. A week later, when he slowly dragged himself from Ills bed. . and got the first view of tils swollen eyes, his broken nose, and his generally cut up and distorted features, he mut tered, “What a whale of a squall must have struck us.” Then opened his cabin door, walked out, and the good people of the village saw him no more. They Worked the Fraternity. The Grand Kegent of the Royal Ar canum. of the District of Columbia, tells a story on himself, how after pa tiently urging, persuading and nagging, he managed to get a fellow acquaint ance to join his order. This new mem ber.—say Mr. Smith—after Joining was at first delinquent in paying his dues, and the great mogul of the fraternity had much trouble in getting him to pay up. After a time, much to his surprise, Mr. Smith sent his money in promptly on the day it was due; then he sent in his money -two months in advance. A short time after, Mrs. Smith came Into the Grand Regent’s place of business and said, “Won’t you please come around to see Mr. Smith, he is very ill.” Of course the kind-hearted Regent went. He found Smith very ill. indeed, so sick that the physician had told him his time on earth was limited, and Smith took occasion to thank the Re gent for getting him to Join the order so that he might not pass away leav ing his family unprovided for. Smith died. His widow then beseeched the Regent to try to get her some work to do so that she might support her family. The Grand Regent was again obliging, and by hard work and an un limited amount of red tape, got her through the civil service examination and she obtained a position in one of the Government Departments. Just be fore receiving her notice to go to work (about six months after her husband’s demise' she appeared again at the Grand Regent's office and said: “I want to thank you for what you have done for me. I have just re ceived my appointment, but I don’t think I will take the place; I have something better. I want to ask one more favor, won’t you please recom mend this party's admission to your order?” "Well, now, Mrs. Smith.” said the Regent, “that is something I can't do without knowing the applicant.” “Oh. he Is all right. I can assure you,” she replied, “he's my husband.” There Is one pawnshop in Paris op erated by the government, where the average number of watches pawned a day is one thousand, and where on an average one thousand wedding rings r.re pawned each week.
