I - MUD? rilAPTKB XI. SOME ItEKKHENPES TO THE IM8T WHICH IT IS NKCESSAHY To trxDEHSTAN'tl. Colonel Graham was a very weak man, and at best a very anry one, though it would not do for him to show it. Ho played sink ana he cursed to himself tho doctor who had turnod hia mean pretense into a frightful reality. He was in no amiable mood when Othello camo in on tip-toe, and, in response to his master's demand to know "who was making that nois out there," made answer: "It's my granny, sah. " "May tho devil fly away with tho black hag! Why he hasn't done so before is a mystery. What, does she want?" The Colonel pushed himself higher up on the pillows and glared at the blaok man, as If ready to slay him if he did not at once give a satisfactory answer to the nuestton. "She wants fob. to seo yeh," said Othello, Mb tremulous voice indicating the fear he felt of his master. "Yes. en I'ze got to see ye. Xo use a tryin' to keep me out Ef yer sick, I've got yarbs to cure ye; so In I conies en 'ow d' es yeh do, me lod?" The door was opened and closed with a sudden bang, and Dinah stood In tho middle of tho floor, bowing in a way that to any other man than that sitting bolt upright on the great "four-poster" bed would have been extremely ludicrous. "I am sick, woman, and want to be alone," said Colonel Graham, but even Othello noticed that he did not speak with tho peremptory voice that usually distinauished him. "So ye does. " The old woman turnod to her grandson, and enforcing her command by extending her lean, black arm in the direction of the door, she continued: "Git out, 'Thollo; me en yer mas'r wants to be 'lone. Don't ye go foh to stan' dar grinnin' wid yer mouf open, but go out. Tell 'im to go out to once. " Dinah turned to the bed, and tho colonel, falling back on his pillows w.th a sigh of mingled wrath and pain, said: "Leave me alone for a little while, Othello." Amazed at his grandmothor's audacity, Othello went but, but he did not go out of hearing. His curiosity was aroused, and he made up " his m'nd to learn, if possible, the secret of the old woman's power. So far it had been his firm belief that there was not in all the world a being who would dare to oppose the wishes of his fierce master, Dinah had not been in town for some days, and though she had heard of the departure of the Wanderer, she as yet did not know that Capt. Denham had left on that ship. "I have offered you gold to leave rao alone and to keep your c-irsed tongue quiet," said the colonel. "Now, what do you want?" Before replying to this the old woman drew back the bed cunain, si that she might get a belter vlow of h.- f , and then, coming so near that V- coi.':: look into his cold, glittering irmy r c , said In a voice that was not a lU. e. . but which sounded far a wn sepulchral: Hi., I want to keep on leadin' ol :. life, en I can't go foh to do it Vi. y or roun'." "Leave me alone, and I'll soor away." Tho eolonqjl threw a piii --v under his shoulder, so that he co .Id ret on his elbow, and returned the w. lean's look without flinching. Suddenly, as if he had decide i on different tac tics from those he would pursue if he continued acting in accordance with bis feelings, he said: "Sit down, Dinah, and let us have a chat; let us be frieiids, as wo wero in the old times. You must excuse me, but I have been sick in mind and tody for some time." "I'd -rather stan' up." replied Dinah, and sho placed both hands on the top of her long staff, and, rusting her chin thereon, she still watched him. After a pause, she continued: "Ye'z sick in min' en body, eii no wondah. W'y yo'z alive arter all Jo min en body sickness ye'z had ym-f.ol en made odders foh to hab is de inos' 'sprisin' t'ing I'ze ever heard on, en I'ze been libbin' now nigh onto fou-ah score en ten " "Never mind that," interrupted the Colonel, restraining with a terrible effort his tendency to anger. "Le'; us talk about yourself and what you have been doing since last I saw you. Let mo see, it must be one-and-twenty y ars ago?" "Jes' dat time. I couldn't fohgi; it, en you couldn't fohgit it. We was 3ofe Jn Bermooda den, en I was the slave of do Gov-nah. Does yer remimber who that Gov-nah war?" Tho hag cocked her head to one fide, and leaned forward on the staff for an answer. Colonel Graham shot a glanoe at t'lie door and saw it was closed, then ha threw back tho curtain ftill further and looked over the room before he said: "The Governor of Bermuda, at that time, wns my brolher." "n ilcy called 'im Colonel Gra'am, too?" "You know they did, Dinah." "En if he'd Ubbed den dat Gov-nuh'd been Lo'd Paliton?" "What of it?" "But dat Gov'nah didn't lib. Kaze w'y? Doan't you know, sah?" "He died," replied the Colonel, with another impeticnt glnnce about the room. "En w'y did e die?" It is so difficult to reproduce with accuracy the strange dialect of this woman, that for the present we shall discontinue it, and give a summary of the facts develuped by her shrewd questions and her ready and frequently ,rotesquely humorous answers. Twenty-one years before the dati f our story. Colonel the Kight Ho iorable Ralph Denham Graham, the cl ient son of Lord Paliton of Ayr and Cumberland was the Governor General of the Bermudas. He lived at Hamilton, tho cap tul, which was located on one of the Bermuda group, known as "Long Island," though it Is much less in area that i namesake in New York. Col. Graham was a knightly man, greatly devoted Lo his wife and only child, n son, at that Umo aged botweon five and six years, and named after his father. The climate not agreeing with Lady Denham, she went to England, bit .it the earnest request of her husband sho left her little boy with him. Capt. George Graham, a younger an! only brother t t the colonel, lived it; his family, and acted as "colonial secretary," u position which had but little labor connected with it and considerable emoluments. As the Governor was rf man In good health and on the sunny side of forty, thoro was every reason to believe that ho would survive his father, th'n an old man, and fall heir to his titles and the large estates thereunto belonging. But should the governor die, his little son, Balph, would, in the natural course of events, succeed to the rank of Lord Puliton, Earl or Ayr. But should tho governor and his son die, then Capt. George Graham would inherit the titles and ostatos. Many thought It was a good thing that Capt George Graham's chances were so small, tor ho was a harsh, cruel,

domineering man, who Boomed in rebellion against his Creator because ho was not born first. Capt.. George Graham was. however, an accomplished hypocrite, for he succeeded in making the Governor believe that ho was tho most devoted brother that over lived. Bermuda does not bubble over with excitement even in these days of electricity and steam. It is a by-way off the great ocean routes. At this timo the officers sent there on duty looked on it as a mild sort of exile, and did everything they could to get ordered home." Yachting was a sr orl in which Col. Graham delighted at home, but hero he found in it one source of amusement on which he could depend to break up tho ennui. His brother George was ao fond of ya -hting, and tho sloop, in which they took their pleasure was commanded, or rath r failed, by a daring, handsome young Englishman of sixteen or seventeen named Willinm Jiidd. Young Kidd was a great fu .oiite with Capt. Graham. Ho was a bold, ambitious youth, with a natural aptitude for his catling, and a mind far above tho average. Having acquired no principle or right, and being wholly dollclent thoroin by nature, William Kidd had no scruples that would lead him to resist tho schemes of the Captain. Thoy held their consultations at tho cabin of an old negro woman, the Captain's slave, named Dinah. There it was decided that the next time the Governor went out with them to sail that the bout should capsize, and that the father and his little boy should bo drowned. This programme was carried out. The Governor could have saved himself had not his unnatural brother leaped upon him and held him under water. Tho little boy, Balph, clung to the sailor, Kidd, but when tho Captain motioned for him to drown the child, the Intent spark of humanity in the fellow's breast fired up. With a dangerous light in his fierce blue eyes and a savage oath on his beardless lips, ho said: "No, sir! We've dono enough for one day. The youngster's arms are about my no k, and may I sink to the bottom with his father if I do not save his life. ou can hide him away." "But it was your bargain," urged the Captain. "Men that bargain to murder cannot be held to account if they do not fill the , eonu. xm uuy .m.ol .,, am, a , must know that he lives, othcrwlso I will turn Queen's evidence and tell the i truth," replied Kidd, The result of this peculiar bargaining, under such circumstances, was that the child was carried ashore and given into the charge of the old negro woman, Dinah. Here little Balph was secreted until the story of his death was firmly believed on the islands and in England. Then the Captain now tha liight Honor a' lo George Graham and William 1 idd smuggled the child to Long Island, in the Province of New York, where he was disposed of, as has already been stated. The loss of his son and grandson so prostrated old Lord Paliton that he did not long survive them, and so the Cap tain neaievea ine one great ooject oi his ambition. Soon after this, old Dinah disappeare.l, and it was generally believed that she was drowned; but, as she was old and not particularly liked, her loss soon ceased to be u matter of speculation. Tii- t r . ,..- ..: .. . :.. :.: ;:;d. .i.: - it.. pi.,-.-..i Hv-. Kidd i lung to liim, us the old man of the sea clung to Sinbad. Again and again, I olonei Graham to give" him the name he had as-umod for ; UBe nt Sag Harbor, had tried to put Kidd ! out o! the way, but 'ho was always ronea. At length Kidd, as a means of security, concealed h's friend Guy Frenauld, a young sailor of fortune where he could hear himself and Colonel Graham discussing tho awful past. Then, with an eye to dramatic effect, Kidd brought Frenauld out, and the Colonel saw he had two opposed to him, and giving up the contest, entered into a compact with the young men. It was through Col. Graham that Kidd got command ot the Advonture Galley, and it was partly through his confidence of his friend's powerful influence In the event of detection that he became a pirate on the high seas, while bearing the Queen's commission. It is useless further to disguise the fact that Fox and Kidd were one and the same person. But there were some grounds for change of name in shin and captain. Kidd, by an act of unparalleled treachery, had murdered a captain named Fox, and all his officers and crew, in the Indian Ocean. Then, appropriating the papers and such plundor as wa valuable, he caused the ship to be scuttled, and sailed away to Inaugurate a career of crime which, for successful audacity and heartless cruelty, has not been equaled in the annals of marine robbery. All these facts were not brought out i during the lalk between Col. Graham and Dinah, but those with vthieh she was better acquainted were elaborated with ii n attention to detail that placed Graham in a mental treadmill, and proved that age had not dimmed tho old woman's memory, while time had made her l egret tho part sho took in cruel conspiracy. tho j "I tell you, it took me long 'miff time to fin' dis odder Long Islan', but I did it, nn' I've staid liar nigh dat b'y. never portindin' noffin' but jest. ii-Avalchin'.

There is only one person who can prevent it, and I think she has got too much wisdori. and too much love for Captain Denham, to balk me with her interference," said the Colonel, evidently wearied by the long, agonizing conversation. "En ye mean foh to say ez I'm dat woman?" "I do, Dinah." "Den ef I hole book, what's yo gwlne foh to do?" "I intend meeting Captain Denham in New Vork in a few days.and I will make him Independently rich. " "En w'y doan't yo tell 'im now?" "He is not hero." "War's 'or gone?" "To New lork." "Won? This morning; ho sailed with Captain j Fox on board the Wanderer. "Wid Cap'n Debbol! ye doan't mean foh to go en say to me ez lialph Den'm hez gone off wid dat red-headed mu'd'rer! Did you son' 'im? Hov ye come foh dot?" The hag reached out her long, black fingers, tho nails of which wore liko claws, mid gathered herself us if about to spring on the man in the bed, and rcn.l him in her fury. "I tell the truth, woman!" cried the Colonel, his anger making him desperate. ".Make a disturbance hero, and I will kill you and throw you out tho window. You ling, you forget that you are my runaway slave, and that I hold your worthless life in my hands." He sprang out of bed and began dressing, culling at the same time for Othello, who came In with an unusual display of white about his eyes, for ho had been listening to tho wholo con-

versatton, and was now In that eoadU Won Whloh is frequently described M "thunder-struck." Tho old woman did not move, did not manifest any fear; on the contrary, she bore herself like one who was conscious that she had proved herself to bo tho mistress of the situation, and was confident of her ability to maintain it agninst all comors, and more particularly against the opponent now in the field. "Ef 'arm should romp to Mars Ralph Den 'in, en if so be it so, we'll soon know it, den dar'll bo lots en lots of trubblo to dem e as. brought all dis on. Mark dem words ez 1 'as jest spoke," said Dinah, moving In the direction of the door, but stil! keeping her wild, bleared eyes fixed on the Colonel's face. "Where is your home; where um I to speak to you without being disturbed?" asked the Colonel, desperately, yot pleadingly. "Ef so be ye wants foh to fin' mo, ax any of de buekras at de inn but doan't ye go loll to feali ez we won't meet agin. Ye can't git away, en I not know it.

"Go, Dinah, go, and I will come to see you." Tho Colonel looked as if he were going to faint, and the old woman went out. T(I UK I OXT1SIIKI), 1 Pneumonia.

I saw an old courtier standing in front of it and looking at himself in blank astonishment. I kept quiet and watched him for some minutes, while he made tho mot awful faces at himseif, then felt the different features of his face to see if it was really himself whom he was regarding, then shrieked with delight at his own ugly face, repeating the operation agaiu and ;igain. At last 1 could stand it m longer, and burst into a loud laugh, at which the poor old man turned round and bolted past me through the tUnr, evidently thinking that the place was bewitched. I had heard stories of natives seeing themselves in a glass for the first time, but I never thought it would be half so funny. Don't Kat Fotato Skin-. The. skin of a nicely served baked potato is certainly a temptation to any who have tasted it, but it is just as well to resist the temptation, (juite a large percentage of potatoes are shipped in from a distance after having been preserved and packed away carefully to avoid sprouting. wnicn qUlckly spoils a stack cf pota toes and leaves them almost- worthless. In some; parts of the country sulphuric acid is used to make sprouting impossible. The potatoes are dipped into a bath with some of the acid droDned in. and as a result the little eyes are killed, and any inten tion of sprouting nipped m the bud. It is said that the acid cannot possibly penetrate the skin, and this is no doubt true. At the same time, enough of the poist.n may have been absorbed by the skin itself lo make eating it, even after careful washing, decidedly dangerous. tit Louis Globe-Democrat. The Influence of the Table. Nowhere is the family life so exhibited as at, the table. Here the. family is united: here one disposition Is contrasted with another: selfishness and generosity, boorishness and rellnement. consideration and thoughtlessness all are more clearly observed against the background of their opposites. Where the table is regurrled as merely a feeding place, it is degraded to the same position as the trough among some lower animals. Three meals a day, a neatly kept and a wei I spread table certainly form adelightfu' adjunct to enhance the pleasures of a home, but when the b Iy crave all attention, at the expense of the intellectual and moral facu ties, the daily meal is not elevating. 1 hough it may renew the tody.

Transplanting Trees. Any tree may be transplanted if proper precautions are observed. When in becomes deslrablo to transplant a large tree a tro.ich should bo dug round It early in tho autumn, but before the ground is frozen, and the leading roots should bo sovered at a distance of six to ton feet from the trunk, according to the size of the tree. When the ground U frozen the tren with its roots oan bs raised in orio solid mass, placed In a wagon such as Is commonly used for transporting largo clocks of stone, and noved to its destination. Very early in the spring, before the sap begins U run, tho tree should bo topped, and if the roots have not leeu cut too closely the tree will grow jnsc as If nothing had happened to It

Her Cake. Young housekeepers will perhaps appreciate tho foolings of Mrs. Dorothy, whose misfortune is recorded in tho Dotroit Freo Press. "Do como In!" said I'liilio to his friend, ns thoy approached tho house. "I left Dorothy making an angel cake, and the dear girl will bo proud to show it." The friend could not refuso such an appeal, and the two men entered the kitchen. Airs. Dorothy stood at a table, and tho men stepped up behind tier. "Is that what yon call an angel cake?" asked tho husband, surprised at tho appearance of the loaf. Mrs. Dorothy was almost ready to ircep, but sho smiled instead. "I guess. It's a fallen angel cake." she said. Hitting the Funny Bone. This unpleasant sensation is caused 3y the violent excitation of the ulnar :iervo due to a blow on tho elbow. This lerve passes down on tho Inner side of iho arm. and then, rather inconsiderately, bends round and enters tho forcirm at tho back of the elbow Joint Any one who has felt his neighbor's eldow sticking into his ribs knows that the dbow Is remarkably deficient In tlsh.

If You Want The Best

ALTHOUGH you may have had good luck with but few failures in making cake and biscuit in the old-fashioned way with soda and sour milk, or soda and cream of tartar, you will have better luck and (following directions) no failures with the Royal Baking Powder. The truth of this must be evident when you remember that in the leading hotels and restaurants, and in the homes of our city cousins, where the latest and best methods are invariably employed, and where the most beautiful and dainty food is always set out for the guests, the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used for all quickly risen food. Royal Baking Powder never disappoints; never makes sour, soggy or husky food; never spoils good materials; never leaves lumps of alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these things do happen with the best of cooks who cling to the old-fashioned methods, or who use other Baking Powders. If you want the best food, Royal Baking Powder is indispensable.

His Courtroom Thunder Stolen. A member of tho Massachusetts bar used to got verdicts by touching appeals to tender fcclin js of jurymen, especially if his client was noor and tho defendant was a rich corporation. Ho became famous for getting verdict's in snch cases. Ouo day be met his match. Tho counsel for a corporation which he had sued undertook to head him off. Ho bad an opportunity to study his opponent's methods, and gave special attention to his style in tho dolivory of pathetic passages.
