CHAPTER I. At!. AT SUA. "A sail on the larboard bow!" shouted the lookout, olibglng to the fore-topgallant stays of tho armed cruiser Sea Hawk "Can you make her out?" called up Captain Ralph Denham, a tall, wellbuilt, hacdsome young niau, In tlie undress natal uniform peculiar to Colonial officers in the sorvlco of England. This was In the year ltiDG, When tho ties between the motherland and the American Colonies were strong; outside foes forcing them to unite for mutual protection, and causing them to overlook the differences that wore yet to rend them asunder. In reply to the Captain's question, "Can you make her out?" the lookout took a longer and more careful view of the strange craft that had attracted his attention; then he called out: . "She lies low down. sir. Seems to hare rakish masts, and is heading toirards Montauk." As the reader knows, Montauk is the extreme southeastern peninsula of Long Island, where the cliffs rise boldly up from the e?a, and where, oven at this early date, fires were kept burning at nigh) for the guidance of ships sailing into the Sound, or seeking from At antic storms the protection of the Great Bay to the north. Captain Denham turned to the smooth-faced young man standing near, and in a voice in which authority and courtesy were blended said: "Lieutenant Dayton, take a glass, go aloft, and see if you oan moke out tho stranger." "Aye, aye, sir!" replied the handsome youth, and, taking a telescope from the stand at the ' head of the corapanfonway, ho sprang Into the mizzen-mast shrouds and went up easily and swiftly till he stood on the lopgallax.t-yard, with one arm thrown lightly around the stay. There was a soft, warm breoze blowing from the south. It scarcely ruffled the surface of the sea, but it filled the upper sails on the tapering mastn, causing the stately vessel to glide with a wonderfully graceful motion, as if propelled by some invisible power. "Well, Dfcyton," called up tie Captain, who was now standing impatiently by the man at the wheel; "what is she?' "A war ship, sir," replied the young officer. "Her flag?" "She flits none. Every stitch of canvas is spread, and she comes from the south." "And is making for Montauk?" "Yes, sir." "That is very strange," muttered the Captain. He took a turn on the quirtnr-deck, then picking up a telescope he looked in the direction of the stranger, now visible to the unaided eye as a whit.e speck on the far-off horizon, where the blu'3 sky and the bluo ocean n et. After an eager survey of some minutes the Captain called out to Lieutenant Dayton again: "Did you ever see tlie Adventure Galley?" "Yes, sir," was the response. "Where?" , "Last year, in New York." The Lieutenant looked again at the Ktranger and added, with some excitement: "An 1 that Is the Adventure Galley or her ghost." "Ail right, Mr. Tayton," said the Captain. "Come down." The young officer descended with a speed that to a landsman would have seemed downright recklessness. But there were no landsmen on the Sea Hawk. Her crew, one hundred and thirty in number, were all In the prims of life. Stalwart, bearded and bronzoil, yet as neat in their attire as If ready for inspection. The uniformity of their dre. s would have told the stranger that they were not mere sailors. But even the unpractlced eye could see this was not a merchant ship. Every pin was polished; every brass article shone like a mirror; every ropo was taut and in place. The decks were as clean and white as a good housewife's kitchen floor, and such parts ns were painted looked as If they had just been under the brush. About the masts, in well-oiled racks, were boarding pikes ranged ready to hand, and beneath them, with grappling hooks attached, were neatly coiled ropes. On either side there were ten port holes, through whichnow !;hat the ports were open twenty great guns looked out But these formidable weapons were dwarfed by a long brass swivel gun amidships, which roust have been the particular pet of the sailors, for its exposed surface shone like a mass of gold. Briefly, tho Sea Hawk was a cruiser, fitted out under the directions of Colonel Bicbard Living-tone then in command of the New York Coloninl militia and intended to destroy tho pirates, who at that tin.o were plundering the neighboring seas, and even making marauding expeditions into tha peaceful bays and harbors on the const. Two years ptior to the date of our Btory, Colon' 1 Livingstone had commissioned Captain William Kidd to protect the commer o of the Colonics from piracy, but as that gentlemen sailed an ay and was never sr en a:ain, the general belief was that Captain William Kidd had gone to the bottom in some storm, or, still more sad, may havo have fallen a victim to the pirates he wa? sent out to suppress. One thing was certain, the depredations on tho seas still continued, and, as a consequence, tho Sea Hawk was fitted out and pi arc t under the command of the gallant young sailor, Captain Ralph Denham, of Sag Harbor, Long Island. At that time New York was comparatively of much le?s commercial importance than at present, and the bays of eastern Long Island were more frequently visited by ships than the beautiful harbor into which the Hudson empties. The Sea Hawk wan now on her return from a cruise to the'tVcst Indies; and as the officers and most of the crew were from what are still called "The Hamptons," on Long Island, they hailed with delight the first glimpse of the bold blue headland of Montaik. that told them they were nt ar tho loved ones and the delightful land of their birth. Cnder Captain Dunham's directions, the Colon a! flag of New York was run up to the foremast head, and from the niizzen gaff the rcyal ensign ol England fluttered in the breeze. By this time the strange ship heading evidently for the same harborsame so close that her black, well-mod-deled hull could be distinctly seen above the water line. The open ports showed fifteen guns on a side, and by the aid of glasses her decks could be seen to swarm with armed men. "That ship is a stranger in these parte," said Captain Denham, addressing Mr. Hedges, the first officer. Mr. Hedges was a middle-aged, slowFpoken man, with a bright blve eye and a sturdy figure, such as we always associate with the model sailor. "She looks to be a stranger " said tho first officer, with tbo judicial deliberation that distinguished all hi tayings, 'ad if ass ww foe, 1 wuut ownf

f&

that she'd be about as ugly a custonior to tackle as ever camo Into those waterB." "Strange that she does not show her cob rs," said. Valentino Dayton, the secpn.1 officer-,. "If she's a friend she needn't be ashamed of them." "And she isn't ashamed ot thorn, my boy, any more than wo are. See; there goes the Union Jack to Iho peak. All, I feci easier to know sho is a friend," said Mr. Hedges. "If sho were a foe she would hoist a black flag," responded Capt, Denham, with a light laugh, "and sho Would prefer to Haunt it 111 the face Uf a fat nierehnntmuH rather than in th'o beak of tho Scti Hawk." The men not on duty eagerly watch: d tho stately stranger, and they saw in her what delights the sailor'shcart more than the most exquisite form con the eye of an artist. To mako amends for his tardiness tn showing his color.-), the Bt ranger, by way of salute, dipped his flag three timesj uiiil Urt Sea Hawk speedily responded to tho courtesy. It is customary for ships at sea to learn each other's names, the ports from which they sailed and their destinations, by means of flags usod as signal?, but as the he.idland of Montauk looned out ot the soa, and both ships were makinff for its eastern extremitv 'with the chances of their booiI anchoring side by side, this formality was dispensed with. The sun wan setting as both ships, now not a half a mile apart, headed down the bay. The wind was barely sufficient to force them through the mirror-like water at n four knot speed. the scenes on either Hand Were inexpressibly beautiful and animated, The islands, rising in dark emerald masses from tho lighter green of the Sound; the shorts, wooded down to the water's edge; and the forest-crowned hills mirrored in the placid expanse wore of indescribable loveliness. Over the forests tho blue lines of smoke marked the peaceful settlements. Hero and thero a white houso could be seen near the shore, with a rosy orchard In the background, for the seasou was spring, thj last week of May, when Nature in our zone is in her loveliest attire. Nor did the two stately ships, with their clouds of snowy sail, alone add animation to the bay. On the Bouth shore the long! red canoes of tho Montauks, then a powerful tribe of Indians, could be seen darting back and forth Under tho iir pulse Of long paddles, While to the nortn. In short pUnts, the Shinicook braves could be seen trolling for the bluoflsh that had just come into these waters. Nor were tho smaller crafts of the white settlors wanting. Like butterflies, graceful yachts skimmed oivr tho waters of the bay, and as thoy n eared tho ships the orews waved their hats end exchanged cheery salutations of welcome and thanks. At length Shelter Island was passed, and tho Sea Hawk and the stranger, which had no name visible on stern or bow, cast anchor a few hu dred yards apart. CHAPTER II. ok snottn. Away from Lonu I Bland the charming town of Sag Harbor is but little known to-day; yet at the time of which we write It aspired to rival New York, and it ha 1 tho advantage of an earlier settlement. Its echools and churches had a local celebrity, and its sailors were accounted tho mo3t skilful an J daring on all the coast. The residence of tho leading man though in a community where all were ambitious and of a descent equally good, each thought himself a leading man was just outside the villnge. Squire Ccndit's homo was certainly mo:e protcntious than any other building within m l os and miles. It was a cluster of low buildings all joined by covered passage ways. The first log hut buile on tho site with an outer block-house pierced for muskots was now used as a kitchen. The next building was a one-story frame, with a root and quaint gables, aui to this structure additions were inado to suit tho wants and tastes ot tho proprietors. Squire Condit was a rich man. He paid light taxes on hundreds of productive acres; ho owne i four whaling ships, and was interested in halt the vessels sailing on the Sound. He was a justice of tho peaoe, a deacon in the church, and altogether a prosperous and most Important personage. Squire Condil's family consisted of a wife then aged forty-five, and fifteen years his junior, and a daughter, Ellen, aged nineteen, a beautiful, well-educated girl, who was the toast of every galiapt in tho colony to whom wealth in a bride would not be an insufferable objection. Perhaps Cap'.aln lialph Denham might be considered a member of Squire Condit's familv, for though not related by blood he was a son by adoption. There had been a great deal of mystery about this sanio lialph Denham: we say "there had been for now that lialph was a man of twenty-six and well known and beloved, the tact that he appeared as a child in charge of a foreignlooking stranger who abandoned him was forgotten, or if alluded to by some old dame it was only to show that genealogy was not always essential to success. Tho old squire loved the boy as though he had been his own son, and he educated him to the best of his by no means limited ability though there were gossips who hinted that Ralph's guardian got money for his support from people beyond the sea. Botween Squire Condit's residenee and the village was the line old home of Doctor Hedges, the brother of tho llrst officer of the Sea Hawk, and the uncle of Valentine Dayton, the second officer of the same ship. It was often mentioned as something remarkable that Doctor Hedges and Squire Condit, two of the richest men on the island, and certainly among its foremost citizens, should eachhaveonly one daughter and no son. Lea Hedges was a great beauty, and some of the old maiden Indies who professed to bo very often shockod at (ho girl's dashing ways, thought it was the greatest of pities that Lea H.edges was not a boy. She could handle a boat or manage a horse as well as any man on the island. She was thorouehly fearless In her coming and her going. Aid though she often set the idle tongues of the gossips to wagging at what they considered her mad freaks, sho was beloved for her nobility of heart as much as she was admired for the rare beauty of her person. It might be added that Lea Hedges than1"! to the teaching of her father, who was thought to bo a prodigy of learning, was thought to be a young lady of phenomenal ncquiremer.ts, but at that time edm ntion was not considered essential to tho gentler sex, there being o vory general impression that "schooling" t ntled to give women airs untitling tho subordinate place Heaven intended them to occupy. Tho moment tho Sea Hawk was sighted, the men in and about Sag Harbor forsook their work; the women sped out of their houses, and the children stopped their games and ran down to the whlto shoro. VVhile the anchors were being droppod, the old sexton rang the boll on the white steeple, and over every building of Importance a flag was raised to show the joy of the villagers. A flag of purest silk was run up from a staff in front of Squire Condit's mansion, tho old gentleman performing the work with his own hands. "It'c tho Hag lialph gave mo before he sailed," said the hquirf, addressing his wife and r!nughtei', "and I nra the lour Vo.v w 11 iocu(jiil,o It," lira as ruiKvmvsDi

Ho made (ho presentation of some petitions on tho subject the oecasloa for launching out Into a discussion of tho whole question, and cjivesse1 bis confident assurance that tho repeal oi the Sherman act was not among the possibilities of the presout session. At 3 p. ni. the business of tho Senate was suspended in order that ll'tln; tributes might be made to the memory of tho late Senator Harbour, of Virginia. Eulogies of the dead Senator were pronouueed by Messrs. Daniels, Manderfion, Faulkner, (ialllnger, Piatt. Hill, tllsccck, and Hunton, Mr, Barbour's successor In the Senate.

Mr. Hatch reported back the auti-optlon bill, with Senate amendments, and it was referred to the ccmmlttee of tho whole The House then, in committee of the whole, proceeded to the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bills. Tho periods ot the Senate Monday were of a character at onco Interesting and important The jcnlor representative fron' New York.

AfterWard the quarantine bill was taken up and passed without a division, also a bill for the payment out of the treasury of local taxes on lands held by Indhins in severalty.

In favoi of tno repeal of the Sherman act Senate bill to authorize a brldio i ver the Monongahela Itlver from Pittsburgh to Home stead was passed. This was suspension day in tbo House, and Mr. Kllirore. of Texas, soon began filibustering motions.

Senator Chandler managed togive a political twist to the debate in the Senate on tbo automatic-coupler bill. He Drought up a resolution in tlio National Democratic platform which denounces the Republican party and the Republican Senate for not having provided legislation for the protection of railroad employes, and he insisted that tin position of so many Pemocriitlc Senator against the bill as m-onsisteut with theli party fealty. He twitted them with the fact that only seven of them had voted te take up the bill for the roreal cf tho Shorman act, knowing tho declaration of the National DemocraticConventlou on the subject of silver, and knowing the entreaties of tbo Piosldont-olect to have the Sherman act repealed before March Mr. Wolcott, while arguing a'-'ainst tho uutnmatlccoupler bill, said that no other Scnatoi than Mr. Chandler could have found a political advantage in ft. After a great deal ot talk back and forth no action was taken on tbe bill. On Wednesday the Senate resumed consideration of the railway car-coupler bill.

The friend teinarked that it niuvt tell upon him seriously at his age, "Oh, no," he replied; "I don't feel it now, but I expect I shall do so in after life!" I cannot vouch for the truth of the following anecdotes, but they may Serve tS "point a moral and adorn a tule." In the old coaching days, when a' coach stopped on one occasion to change horses, one (if the passengers strolled along a green lane and was surprised to see an old man nitting under tlio hedge crying. In atif,wer to a question as to the cause of his grief, he replied that his father had. been beating him. Tlio bassengerj wl)0 thought the father of an old man 1: ke that must be it furiosity worth seeing, asked liini to take him to his father. The old man led him to a cottage, where a very old man was standing at the gate, looking ve-y angry. "Is this jcur son ?" he asked. toYes;" repl ied the old man, gruffly. "He tells me ydu have been beating him, " said tfc e riossonger. "Yes, and be deserves beating, the young rasca', for he bos beeu throwing stones at his grandfather!" I have heard of another old man and his wife, botli of whom ha;l reached tlie venerable age of 100. They had throe daughters, tie youngest of whom died uhm..rried, at the age of 72. The old Wotauh Wfts quite, inconsolable on account of thtiir irreparable loss, The youngest daughter had evidently been her pet, for after their return froin the: funeral she said to her husband, amid ner sobs and tears: "I always tellt thee, John, that wo should never rear tliat child."

Along the border of large lakes and navigable livers, and particularly next to State boundaries! fractional Congressional townships are common. For purposes; of township government, fractional townships are in many cases united with adjoining townships, or two full townships may be joined under one town organisation.

Justice to All. It is now apparent to the Directors of tht World's Columbian Exposition that millions of people will be denied the pleasure of rxccriing the possessors of World's. Fair Souvenir Coins Tlie Official Souvenir of the Great Exposition The extraordinary and growing demand for these G)ins, and the desire on the part of tlie Directors that equal opportunities may be afforded for their purchase, have made it necessary to enlarge the channels of distributioiu To relieve themselves of some responsibility, the Directors have invited THE MERCHANTS Throughout tlie Nalion to unite with the Banks in placing Columbian HalfDollars on sale. This is done that the masses of the people, and these living at remote points, may be afforded the best possible opfxtrtunity to obtain tbe Coins. THE FORTUNATE POSSESSORS of SOUVENIR COINS will be those who are earliest in seizing upon these new advantages. $10,000 Was Paid For The First Coin They are all alike, the issue is limited, and time must enhance their value. The price is One Dollar each. HOW TO GET THE COINS: Cto to your nearest merchant or banker, as they are likely to have them.
