,ARK AM) TAMARIND.

It WAR the night of the governor's state ill 100 years ago, a languid, tropical light. \t the darkest and quietest part of the ilcony a knot of naval officers had gathered together in eager conversation. Their Joices were half suppressed, but the govlor's astute secretary drew the curtaiDS Ibloee as be passed by "Only my respect for the uniform which [f0u wear prevents me from calling you a wsoward and a liar," said Captain Hawke 'of II. M. S. Lark in a voice mode hoarser I and fiercer by its restraint. "You boast safely, sir, since the com|mandi»rs of his majesty's vessels may not meet hero," replied Captain Blade of H. I'M. S. Tamarind in the same strident whisper. I "Docs that apply to their seconds?" asked tho first lieutenants in the same breath. "Aye, ayo," said Blade. "Anil to their other officers, too," said old Hawke, mopping his red face vigor ously. "But not to a middy,"suggested young

Blake of tho Lark, with a grim smile upon his smooth young face. "May I, sir?" inquired little Hanson of the Tamarind, with his hand readily upon his dirk. "D—n you, no!" roared Ilawke. "What business have you boys hero interfering in your elders' quarrels? Get out of It!" "Put back your dirk, Hanson," said Blako in bis quiet w»y, "and peace, gen tlemen all. Tho quarrel is Captain Hawko's und mine. Some day wo shall doubtless settle it." "No, »o," broke in the other voices. "It is our quarrel too." "Faith, sir," said Bloke lightly, "it is the quarrel of the two ships. There isn't a man of us that wouldn't like to flght it out fair and square."

For the two vessels had long been rivals in suppressing the pirates who infested tho islands and had cut each other out in tuifis. Ilawke had gained the decoration for which Blade would have given a limb. Blade had secured tho great haul of prize money which Hawke, who was poor and proud, ho sorely needed.

Tho flrhfc ileutenants had quarreled over a woman, and tho other officers over their wino. Tho middies had collided in their diugeys and had come to blows over a gamo.

The boatswains had quarreled over a smuggled keg of rum and tho carpenters over tho way to stop a bow leak. The sailors had fallen out over the Nans and Bets and Sues, black or whito, of every port where tho ships had touched.

Now a ineddlosomo admiral, newly come from homo, had ordered them off together after somo particularly well armed and daring freebooters. So tho quarrel had reached fever point. And tho cure for fever in those days was nothing but some letting of bloud. "Since these infornal pirates have painted their ships to resent bio ours, there aro less likely things than a mlstako some foggy night. I, for one, should not regret it, though we carry ten men and two guns less," muttered Randall, tho first lieutenant of tho Lark, who had lost the lady. "For tho matter of that, I shall leave ten men ashore, and two of my guns need repair. 'The foreman of tho yard shall have them tomorrow," said Captain Blade, bowing courteously. "Of course it would be a great calamity should such a mistake happen! Hut"— "l)o you moan to suggest"— asked the ruddy Ilawke, with his eyes bolting almost out of their sockets and flaming like llvo coals. "Nay, sir, I suggest nothing. You will, I am sure, take oare to avoid guoh an event," replied Blade, with tho softness that sets one's teeth on edge, like the touch of satin. "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" expostulated tho governor's secretary, appearing through the window.

So after a polite contest in yielding precedence, tho brawlers went smilingly within. This mutual forbearance lasted right up to the time when they went to sea, and the magnanimity of tho officers in forgetting their notorious feud when allied upon his majesty's service was a common theme of admiration to tho colonials.

Nevertheless they persuaded the now admiral to let them mako sure of the enomy by falling round tho Island in opposite directions, though their foolhardiness in going single handed moved every one to astonishment, for at leaf two of the pirate vessels were as large and as well armed as those of his majesty.

Blade even carried his folly to tho extent of landing two guns on account of defects which tho master gunner ashoro failed to discover and of proposing to leave ten men behind. "They aro in indiff' unt health," said ho, "and it is but fair t'.iht Ilawke and I should overcome tho pirates on equal terms."

The men, however, declared that they were fit, and the little middy, Blade's favurlte, who was to 6tay in charge, crlod like a girl. "There be four or five of our men, please, sir, that bo related by marriage to those in tho Lark, and always side with them. Maybe they would bo willing to be shipped in her, and make us square." And so It was arranged.

Tho Tamarind, which sailed to the cast, bad the best of the braae, and made quiok headway. But the coast upon that sldo of the island ran in and out like a baby's pcnellings upon a slate, making caprioious little bays and long, winding creeks.

Lost a pirate vessel should be hiding in them, it was necessary to enter each inlet which drew water enough to admit them, while the shallower waters were searched at night by the boats, with oars muffled In the rowlocks and eager, whispering crews.

When four days had passed, they came

to the unbroken coast, but still they lingered. Upon tbo fifth afternoon a sharp eyed sailor from tho masthead saw the tope of a ship many miles away and judged them to belong to a fighting vessel of their own size. So when the night came up, dull and dark beyond the night of those parts (the moon being new and the air misty), they clapped on full sail and sped toward the unknown foe.

Then they ground their swords and loaded their guns and each went to bis place. Some laughed and some jested. Some gave messages and told of tokens for a faroflf Poll or Bess. A few played at all fours by the glimmer of a rushlight in a lantern.

But mostly they were silent until, half an hour latex, the lookout man called "Sail ahead!" as a vessel of about their own size seemed to spring almost on top of them out of the dark. 'Sjgik: "Hard a-port!" cried the captain. "Stand ready for a broadside!". commanded the next officer. mi

At the same moment tho stranger turned a little the other way, so that the vessels passed side by side. "The Lark," whispered one man to another. "Shall we let go?" asked the first lieutenant.

But Blade shook bis head. "Not first," said he decidedly. Suddenly, ns if the mouth of hell had opened, tho stranger belched forth thunder and smoke and flame, and a storm of shot tore through tbe Tamarind from side to side, leaving tracks of mangled flesh and blood. "Fire!' called the first lieutenant but before lie had spoken tho answering torront had sprung forth. Then the ships swung slowly away from each other.

Blade, who, although a dandy on shore, was the equal of any man afloat in seamanship, gauied a great advantage, outmaneuvering his enemy and bringing his broadside to bear right across her stern, so as to rake her from head to foot as he passed and leave a longer trail of slaughter Then, swinging dexterously away from the answering broadside, he countered upon tbe other side.

First one mast and then another was shot over, and at length the vessel heeled so heavily that tho few guns which were still replying shot harmlessly in tho air. "God forgive us, captain," cried the first lioutenant hoarsely—he was lying on tho deck with half a leg shot away—"it's enough." And Blade, who had grown very white, cried out in a broken voice: "Stop firing, and get out the boats! She's going down!" But tho boats readiest for uso wore shattered their opponent suddenly listed over, two or three of her guns firing a last derisivo shot as she went.

The men of tho Tamarind sat down— those who were left—on their guns or on the deck, with eyes averted from the slain around them. The officers buried their faces in their hands, save the youngest middy, who lay quiet and forever still with a handkerchiof over his handsome boyish face. At last Blade drew his sword suddenly and snapped it across his knee. "I am a disgracod man!" he cried, with the voice of one gono mad. "May heaven enrse us all!"

But heavon, which blesses or curses not as wo call, for answer sent up tho rising sun, and the morning light upon a lonely vessel short of a mast sailing slowly along throe miles away! And the first lieutenant, pulling himbclf up to look through the porthole, cried liko a child: "It wasn't tho Lark! God forgivo us all!" Then he sank into a swoon from loss-of blood and was mercifully unconscious in the surgeon's hands.

Tho Lark, when she sailed to the west, had to beat up against heavy head winds and so mado but slow progrosa. Yet when tho fifth day came tho men were kept constantly under arms, and ere nightfall they caught a glimpso of lighting ship in tho distance.

There was a vessel whoso snilo'rfi had courted their Polls and Bets near these regions by now they knew. And if in the fog and dark they should come together many an old score would be wiped out.

At length tho fog lifted a trifle, and suddenly a big vessel rushed swiftly upon them from tho quarter where they had least expected it. "Stand to the guns below!" shouted Hawke, "and boarders make ready!"

A hnil of shots poured out upon them before they were fully prepared, but fortunately Hew so high as to do little damage beyond bringing down the foremast, while the Lark ran close alongside tho foo and put in a terrific broadside before grappling.

Then there burst forth a very volcano of flame and a roar that challenged the heav ens, for a shot had reached the stranger's powder magazine, and tho forces of nature, let loose from their thraldom, scattered the vessel to tho four w'nds and he men to the mercy of God.

Those on board tho Lark looked at one another in mute horror, and the tears ran down some cheeks. "We aro traitors and unfit to live," groaned Ilawke. And they took his weapons from him lest ho should do himself a mischief.

Then the sudden tropical morning dawned, and afar in the east, with the rising sun glinting through her tattered sails, the Tamarind sailed into view.

When the governor sont home his great dispatch couplo of months later, to announce the total suppression of piracy in those regions, he observed that this result hod been achieved by means of the remarkably cordial cooperation between tho captains, officers and crews of the Lark and the Tamarind, which after sinking separately tho two most dangerous pirates had joined their forces with marvelous success and now wished to combine their prize money in a common fund.

Such harmony, ho observed, was equally to the advantage of the service and the credit of the captains. But the admiral, newly arrived from home, took the credit of the co-operation to himself.—St. Paul's.

Bow He Got the Right Expression.

*'Thanks," said the tragedian "many thanks for your good opinion. I always Study from nature, sir. In my acting you ceo reflected nature herself." "Try this cigar," said an admirer of nature reverently. "Now, where did you study that expression of intense surprise that you assume in tbe second act?" "From nature, sir, from nature. To secure that expression 1 asked an intimate friend to lend roe £5. Ho refused. This caused me no surprise. I tried several snore. "Finally I asked one who was willing to oblige me, and as he handed me the note I studied in a glass the expression of my own face. 1 saw there surprise, but It was not what I wanted. It was alloyed with suspicion that the note might be a bad one. I was In despair." "Well?" said tbe other breathlessly. "Then an idea struck me. I resolved upon a desperate course. I returned tbe It note to my friend the next day, and on his wtumlibvd countenance I saw tbe expreasion of which was In search."— Pearson's Weekly.

Have Ton a Pet Superstition*

"I don't believe there is a man living who is without bis pet superstition," remarked a secondhand furniture man tbe other day. "We constantly have people who sell us articles of household use and come in after a few weeks— sometimes only days—and try to bny them back again, with tbe explanation that they have had 'bad luck1 ever since the sale was made and never would have good luck again until the bargain was nndone. "One woman who had sold ns her grandmother's clock fairly wept because it was gone before she coyld buy it in again. This idea is not confined to uneducated or ignorant people by any means. "At this very time I know a business man of great culture and refinement who is vigorously pursuing an old wooden desi£ which he owned many years ago—a desk on which he made an enormous amount of money by a few lucky "strokes of his pen. The desk passed from band to hand and out of his possession. He is now earnestly endeavoring to trace it and purchase it, believing that recent business reverses and hard times will flee away, if he can only stretch his legs once more under that same old desk."—Pearson's Weekly.

"Slug Religion."

The "religious editor" in one of the local newspaper offices came rushing through the editor's room one day, her proofs flying like ribbons from both hands, which she held up in horror. She was a new member on the ^staff. Plainly she was excited. "See there," she said to the editor in chief. "Just look at that."

She threw the curls of paper upon his desk, put her finger on a spot and glared. "And look atf that, and that,~ and that." "••jtT-n

She pointed at other spots. "What is it?" asked the chief, studying the spots. "Why, 'slug religion.' Somebody has written at the head of every paragraph the words 'slug religion,' and the printers have printed it too. Think if it had gone in tbe paper. I won't stay"—

It was not easy to explain that "slug religiou"and "slug society" and "slug sport" were mere composing room signs to indicate in which department of the paper tbe blocks of type were to be set. —New York Commercial.

A lady standing between two beds at a children's hospital not long ago upon the occasion of a small feast opened conversation with one of the patients by saying: '*/«,

What hnve you had, dear?" "The pleurisy, ma'am," came the answer. "And what has this little girl bad?" "She's had cake, ma'am."

This may be the sort of thing you smile at while your throat tightens, but if you are a woman the heart of love in you is taken captive.—New York Ledger. ...

A Godsend.

The Kennebec Journal tells thiststory about a Maine man named Qodsend Lufkin: "His grandfather died before he was born, leaving in trust a large property to the first grandson, then unborn. None of his four sons were at the time married, but they hustled around and soon removed that impediment. This queer named individual was the first grandson of the old gentleman to make his appearance on earth, and his mother remarked to the clergyman at the baptism that he was a godsend. The clergyman understood that was to be tbe name and so christened him."

Her Pathetic Contrast.

It is not in the saying of pungent things or even witty things that children become interesting, and this is why so often tbe glimpses of children we have given us are so unsatisfactory. It is the utterance of things that have a heart of pathos that makes the talk little ones so wonderful.

Canvasback Ducks.

Th«? present writer has paid $5 for a canvasback duck in the Maryland club in the city of Baltimore, the city which is the home of the canvasback connoisseur, and situated in the district which is the haunt of the canvasback.

In San Francisco, on the other band, it is possible to partake of an excellent dinner at one of the many French restaurants wherein a canvasback shall figtire and a dinner can be secured with ordinary wine at from $1.25 to $1.50— less than one-third of the single item of duck at the Baltimore dinner.

It may be said by captious critics that the canvasbacks in San Francisco are not 6o good as the canvasbacks in Baltimore. Error! They are not only iust as good, they are tbe same. All of the canvasbacks in the United States come from the same district, the vast breeding grounds in Alaska. The ducks, flying to tbe southward, take up their various lines of flight over the lakes of the northwestern states, like Minnesota, thence down to the Chesapeake marshes, or dividing and going to the west of the Rocky mountains, they come to the feeding grounds which line the great marshes at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. The birds come from the same breeding grounds, they get the same food in our Suisun marshes as they do on the Chesapeake—to wit, the wild celery, Apiurn graveolens. Iin short, the birds are exactly the 6ame. They differ only in price.—San Francisco Argonaut.^ Tlie ltuined California Grape Crop.

The partial loss of the grape crop this year, caused by the heavy rains, is estimated to exceed $1,000,000. Farmers and vineyards all over the northern part of the state have suffered. While this is true, it is equally a fact that lost and failing strength may be restored by the persistent, systematic use of the great national topic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which renews and tones the activity of the stomach, liver and the bowels, counteracts a tendency to rheumatism and kidney complaint, and prevents malarial disorders. After exhausting diseases have run their course, recovery is greatly accelerated by the use of the Bitters, which improves appetite and imparts renewed vigor to the debilitated physique.

Rebecca Wilkinson, of Brownsvalley, Ind., says: "I have been in a distressed condition for three years from nervousness, weakness of tbe stomach, dyspepsia and indigestion until my health was gone. I had been doctoring constantly with no relief. I bought one bottle of South American Nervine, which did me more good than any $50 worth of doctoring I ever did in my life. I would advise every weakly person to use this valuable and lovely medicine a few bottles of it has cured me completely. I consider it the grandest medicine in the world."
