“But what- the devil”—intcrrnptcd the
young man impetuously.
“Keep yer hair on!” remonstratcd the
old man with dark intelligence. “Effort’d
seen the way she flounced into her state
roomi—she, 'Roscy, ez allus moves cz
softly ez a spirit—you’d hev wished; I'd
hev unlonded a little more. No sir, gals
is gals in some things all the time.”
Renshaw rose and paced the , room
rapidly. “Perhaps I’d better speak to
her again before she goes," he sait1;"inl-
pulsively.
“P’r’aps you’d better not,” replied the
impcrturbable Nott.
Irritated as he was, chshaw could not
avoid the reflection that the old man was,
right. What, indeed, could he say'to her
with his present imperfect knowledge?
How could she write to him if that
knowledge was correct? .
“Ef,” said Nott, kindly, with a laying
on of large benediction and paternal
hands, “of yer are willin’ to see Rosey
ngin, without speakin’ to her, I reckon I
ken fix it for yer. I’m goin' to take her
down to the boat in half an hour. Ef yer
should happen—mind, ef yer should hap-
pen to be down there, seein’ some friends
off and sorter promenadiu’ up and down
the wharf like them high toned chaps on
Montgomery street—ye might ketch her
eye unconscious like. Or, ye might do
this!” He rose after a moment’s cogita-
tion and with a face of profound mystery
opened the door and beckoned Rensbaw to
follow him. leading the way cautiously,
he brought the young man into an open
unportitioncd recess beside her state room.
It seemed to be used as a store room, and
licnshaw’s eye was caught by a trunk the
size and shape of the one that had pro-
vided Rosey with the materials of her
masquerade. Pointing to it Mr. Nott said
in agrave whisper: “This yer trunk is
the companion trunk to Rosey’s.’ She’s
got the things them opery women wears;
this yer contains the he things, the duds
and fixin’s o’ the-men o’ the same stripe.“
Throwing it open he continued: “Now,
Mr. Renshaw, gals is gals; it’s nat’ral
they shouldbe took by fancy dress and
store clothes on young chaps as on their~
selves. That man Ferrers hez got the
dead wood on all 'of ye in this sort of
thing, and hez been playing, so to speak,
a lone hand all along. And of thnr’s any-
' thin’ in thar,” he added, lifting part of
at-heatrical wardrobe, “that you think
you‘d fancy—anythin‘ you’d like to put
on when ye promenade the wharf down
yonder—it’s yours. Don't ye be bashful,
but help yourself.”
It was fully a minute before Renshaw
fairly grasped the old man’s meaning.
But when he did—when the suggested
spectacle of himself arrayed a la Ferriercs,
gravely promennding the wharf as a. last
gorgeous appeal to the affections of llosey,
rose before his fancy, he gave way to a
iii: of genuine laughter. The nervous
tension of the past few hours relaxed; he
laughed until the tears came into his eyes;
he \‘n-s still. laughing when the door oi
the (‘ttblll was suddenly opened and Rosey
appeared cold and dist-ant on the thres-
hold.
“I—bcg your pardon,” stamniered Ren-
shaw hastily. “I didn't mean—to dis-
turb you—I”-——-— .
Without looking at him Rosey turned
to her father. “I am ready,” she said
coldly, and closed the door again.
A glance of artful intélligence came
into Nott’s eyes, which had remained
blankly staring at Renshaw’s apparently
causeless hilarity. Turning to him he
winked solemnly. "That keerless kind 0‘
boss latt‘ jist fetched her,” he whispered,
and vanished before his chagrined com-
panion could reply.
When Mr. Nott and his daughter de-
parted I-lensliaw was not in the ship,
neither did he make a spectacular appear-
ance on the wharf as Mr. Nott had fondly
expected, nor did he turn up again until
after!) o‘clock, when he found't'he old
man in the cabin awaiting his return with
some agitation. “A minit ago,” he said,
mysteriously closing the door behind Ren-
shaw, “I beards voice in the passage,
and goin’ out who should I see agin but
that darned furrin nigger ezI told yer
‘ ’bout, kinder hidin’ in tho dark, his eyes
shinin’ like a. catamount. I was jist
reuchin’ for my weppins when». he riz up
with a grin and handed me this yer letter.
i told hiin I reckoned you’d gone to Sac-
ramento, but he said he wez sure you was
in your room, and to prove it; I went that.
But when I kem back the d—d skunk
had vamoosed—got frightened, I reckon—
aud wasn’t nowhar to be seen.”
, Itenshnw took the letter hastily. It
contained only a line in Sleight’s hand.
“If you change your mind, the bearer
may be of service to you.”
' He turned abruptly to Nott. “You say
it was the some Lnscnr you saw before"”
“It was.” ’
“Then all I can say is he is no agent of
do Ferriercs’,” said Renshaw, turning
away with a disappointed air. Mr. Nott
would have asked another question, but
with an abrupt “Good night” the young
man entered his room, locked the door,
and threw himself on his bed to reflect
without interruption. '
But if he was in no mood to stand
Nott's fntuous conjectures, he was less
inclined to be satisfied with his own. Had
he been again carried away through his
impulses evoked by the caprices of a
pretty coquetto and the absurd theories
of her half imbecile father? Had he bro-
ken faith with Sleight and remained in
the ship for nothing, and would not his
change of resolution appear to be the
result of Sleight’s note? But why had
the Lascar been haunting the ship before?
In the midst of these conjectures he fell
asleep. .
CHAPTER VII.’
Between 3 and 4 in the morning the
clouds broke over the Pontiac, and the
moon, riding high, picked out in black
and silver the long hulk that lay cradled
between the iron shells of warehouses and
the wooden frames of tenements on either
side. The galley and covered gangway
presented a mass of undefined shadow,
against which the white deck shone
brightly, stretching to the forecastlo and
bows, where the tiny glass roof of the
photographer glistened like a gem in the
Pontiac’s crest. So peaceful and motion-
less she lny that she might have been
some petrifaction of a past age new first
exhumed and liiid bare to the cold light
of the stars.
Nevertheless this calm security was
presently invadedby a sense of stealthy
life and motion. 'What- had seemed a
fixed shadow suddenly detached itself
from the deck and began to slip stanchion
by stanchion along the bulwarks toward
the companion way. At the cabin door it
halted and crouched motionless. Then,
rising, it glided forward with the same
staccato movement until opposite the
slight elevation of the forehatch. Sad-
denly it darted to the hatch, unfastcned
and lifted it: with a swift, familiar dex-
terity, and disappeared in the 'opcnirag.
' But as the moon shone upon its vanishing
face it revealed the whitening eyes and
teeth of the Lascar seaman.
Dropping to the lower deck lightly, he
felt his way through the dark passage be.-
tween the partitions, evidently less famil—
iar to him, halting before each door to
listen. Returning forward he reached
the second hatchwny that had attracted
Rosey’s attention, and noiselessly nnciosed
'its fastenings. A penetrating smell of
bilge arose from the opening. Drawing a
small bull’s eye lantern from his breast
be lit‘ it, mm unhesitatingly let himself
down to the further depth. The moving
flash of his light revealed the recesses of
:the upper hold, the abyss of ‘the well
amidships, and glanced from the shining
backs of moving zigzngs of rats that

Disregarding those curious
spectators of his movements; he
turned his attention eagerly to
the inner casings of the hold,
that seemed in one spot to have been
strengthened by fresh timbers. Attack-
ing this stealthily with the aid of some
tools hidden in his oilskin clothing, in the
light of the lantern he bore a fanciful re-
semblance to the predatory animals
around him. The low continuous sound
of rasping and gnawing of timber which
followed heightened the resemblance. At
the end of a few minutes he had succeeded
in removing enough of the outer planking
to show that the entire filling of the casing
between the stanchibns was composed of
small boxes. Dragging out one of them
with feverish eagerness to the light, the
Lnscnr forced it open. In the rays of the
bull’s eye a wedged mass of discolored
coins show with a lurid glow The story
of the Pontiac was true—the treasure
was there!
transoms.
The treasure was there]
But Mr. Sleight had overlooked the logo
teal effect of this'discovery on the natural
villainy of his tool. In the very moment
of his triumphant execution of his pn-
tron’s suggestion the idea of keeping the
treasure to himsglf flashed upon his mind.
He had discovered it—why should he give
it up to anybody? He had run all the
risks; if he were detected at that moment
who would believe that his purpose there
at midnight was only to satisfy some one
else that the treasure was still intact?
No. The circumstances were propitious;
he would get the treasure out of the ship
at once, drop it over her side, hastily con-
real it in the nearest lot adjacent, and
take it away at his convenience. Who
would be the wiser for it?
But- it we." recessary to reconnoiter first.
He knew that the loft overhead was
empty. He knew that it communicated
with the alley, for he had tried the door
that morning. He would convey the
treasure there and drop it into the alley.
The boxes were heavy. Each one would
'cquire a separate journey to the ship’s
side, but he would at least secure some-
thing if he were interrupted. He stripped
the casing and gathered the boxes together
in a. pile.
Ah, yes, it was funny too that he—t-he
Lasca-r hound—the d—d nigger—should
get what bigger and bullier men than he
had died for! The mate’s blood was on
those boxes, if the salt water had not
washed it out. It wasn. hell of afight
when they dragged the captain—0h,
what was that? Was it the splash of a rat
in the bilge, or what?
A superstitious terror had begun to
seize him at the thought of blood. The
stifling hold seemed again filled with
smuggling figures he had known; the air
thick with cries and blasphemies-that he
had forgotten. He rose to his feet, and,
running quickly to the hatchway, leaped
‘o the deck above. All was quiet. The
door leading to the empty loft yielded to
his touch. He entered, and, gliding
through, unbarred and opened the door
that gave upon the alley. The cold’air
and moonlight flowed in silently; the way
of escape was clear. Bah! He would go
bask for the treasure.
He had reached the passage when the
door he had just; opened was suddenly
darkened. Turning rapidly, he was con-
scious of a gaunt figure, grotesque, silent,
and erect, looming on the threshold be.
tween him and the sky. Hidden in the
shadow, he made a stealthy step towards
it, with an iron wrench in his uplifted
hand. But the next moment his eyes di-
luted with superstitious horror; the iron
fell from his hand, and with a scream,
liken frightened animal, he turned and
(lid into the passage. In the first access
.of his blind terror he tried to reach the
deck above through the forehatch, but
was stopped by the sound of a. heavy tread
overhead. The immediate fear of detec~
tion now overcome his superstition; he
would have even faced the apparition
again to escape through the loft; but, be-
fore he could return there, other foot-
steps approached rapidly from the end
of the passage he would have to trav-
erse. There won but one chance of escape
left now—the forchold he had just quit.
ted. He might hide there until the alarm
was over. He glided back to the hatch,
lifted it, and it closed softly over his head
as the upper hatch was simultaneously
raised, and the small round eyes of Abner
Nott peered down upon it. The other
footsteps proved to be Renshaw’s, but,
attracted by the open door of the loft, he
turned aside and entered. As soon as he
disappeared Mr. Nott cautiously dropped
through the opening to the deck below,
and, going to the other hatch through
,which the Lnscnr had vanished, deliber-
ately refastencd it. In a few moments
Renshaw Qeturned with a light and found
the old man sitting on the hatch.
“The loft door was open,” said Ben-
shaw. “There’s little doubt whoever was
here escaped that way.”
“Surely,” said Nott. There was a pc-
culiar look of Machiavellian sagncity in
his face which irritated Renshaw.
“Then you’re sure it. was Ferrieres you
saw pass by your window before you called
me?” he asked.
Nott nodded his head with an exprcs.
_ sion of infinite profundity.
“But you say he was going from the
ship. Then it could not have been he
who made the noise we heard down here."
“Mebbe no and mebbc yes,” returned
Nott, cautiously. .
“But if he was already concealed inside
the ship, as that open door, which you say
you barred from the inside, would indi-
cate, what the devil did he want with
this?” said Rensbuw, producing the mon-
key wrench hc had picked lip.
Mr. Nott examined the tool carefully
and shook his head with momentous sig-
nificance. Nevertheless, his eyes wan-
dered to the hatch on which he was seated.
“Did you find anything disturbed
there?” said Renshatv, following the di-
rection of his eye. “Was that hutch fast-
ened as it is now?” ,
“It was,” said Nott, calmly. “But ye
wouldn’t mind l‘etchin’ me a hammer and
some 0’ them big nails from the locker,
would yer, while I hang round here just
so oz to make sure against another life
took.” -
Renshaw complied with his request;
but as Nott proceeded to gravely nail
down the fastenings of the hatch, he
turned impatiently away to complete his
examination of the ship. The doors of
the other lofts and their fasteningsap‘
pear-ed secure and undisturbed. Yet it
was undeniable that a felonious entrance
had been made, but by whom, or for what
purpose, still remained uncertain. Even
now Renshaw found it difficult to accept
Nott’s theory that do Ferrieres was the
aggressor and Bosey the object, nor could
he justify his own. suspicion that the Las-
car had obtained a surreptitious entrance
under Sleight‘s directions. “Hill a feeling
that it Roscy had been present he would
have confessed all, and demanded from
her an equal confidence, he began to hate
his feeble, purposcless and inefficient alli- .

in this outrage, What could be done with

moment was to nail up an undisturbed '

Nott rejoined him in the cabin he scarcely
heeded his presence, and was entirely ob-
, livious of the furtivc looks which the old
man from time to time cast upon his face.
“I reckonyc wouldn’t mind,” broke in .
Not-usuddenly, “bf—risked a favor of yd,

Renshaw stared speechlessly at: this ab-
surd realization of his wish of a moment:
before. “I don't think I understand
you," he stammered.
“P'r'aps not," returned Not-t, with
great gravity. “But that’s not so much

“I meant I should be glad to go if I can
be of any service to you,” said Relishnw.
hastily.
“You i-zin ketch the 7 o’clock bout this
morning, and you’ll reach San Rafael
at 10”—
,“Bnt I thought Miss Rosey went to
Petnlume, ” interrupted Renshnw quickly.
Nott regarded him with an expression
of patronizing superiority. “That’s what
we iadlcd out to the public gin’rnlly, and
to Ferrers and his gang in part-ickler. “’6
said Pctalumey, but ifyou go to Madrono
Cottage, San Rafael, you’ll find Rosey
thar.” _
‘ If Mr. Renshnw required anything more
to convince him of the necessity of coming
to some understanding with Rosey at once
it would have 'bcen this last evidence of
her father’s utterly dark and supremely
inscrutable designs. He assented quickly,
and Nott handed him a note.
“Ye’ll be partickler to give this inter
her own hands, and wait for an answer,”
said Nott- gravely.
Resisting the proposition to enter then
and there into an elaborate calculation Of
the vain.- oi‘ his time and the expenses of
of the trip, Renshnw found himself at 7
o’clock on the San Rafael bout. Brief as
was the tourney it ve him “motore-
flcct upon his wringing interview with
Rosey. He had resolved to begin by con-
fessing all; the attempt of last night had
released him from any sense of duty to
Sleight. Besides, he did not doubt that
Nott’s letter contained, some reference to
this affair only known to Nott’s dark and
tortuous intelligence.
CHAPTER VIII.
Madrono Cottage lay at the entrance of
a little canada already green with the
early winter rains and nestled in a thicket
of the harlequin painted trees that gave it
a name. The young man was a little rc-
lieved to find that Rosey had gone to the
postofiice a mile away and that he would
probably overtake her or meet- her return-
ing—alonc. The road—little more than a
trail—wound along the- crest of the hill
looking across the canoda to the long,
dark, heavily wooded flank of Mount Ta-
mnlpnis that rose from the valley a dozen
miles away. A cessation of the warm
min, a rift in the sky and the rare specta-
cle of cloud scenery, combined with a cer-
tain sense of freedom, restored that light ..
hearted gayety that became him most.
At a sudden turn of the road he caught
sight of Roscy’s figure coming toward
him and quickened his step with the im-
pulsiveness of aboy. But she suddenly
disappeared, and when he again saw her
she was on the other side of the trail op-
pnrently picking the leaves of a. man-
znnitn. She had already seen him.
Somehow the frankness of his greeting
was checked. She looked up at him with
checks that retained enough at their color
to suggest why she had hesitated, and said,
“You here, Mr. Renshaw? I thought you
were in Sacramento.”
“And I thought you were in I’etnlumn,”
he rctorted, fayly. “I have a letter from
your father. The fact; is, one of those
gentlemen who has been haunting the
ship made an entry last night» .IYhO he
was and what he came for ndbodFEHOIvs.
Perhaps your father gives you his suspi-
cions.” He could not help looking at her
narrowly as he handed her the note. Ex-
cept that; her pretty eyebrows were
slightly raised in curiosity she seemed un-
disturbed as she opened the letterl Pres-
ently she raised her eyes to his.
“Is this all father gave you?”
”All. i r '
“You’re sure you haven’t dropped any-
thing?” '
“Nothing. I have given you all he gave
me.”
“And that is all it is.” She exhibited
the missivc, a perfectly blank sheet of
paper folded like a. note.
chshnw felt the angry blood glow in
his cheeks. “This is unpardonable! I as-
sure you, Miss Not‘a, there must be some
mistake. He himself has probably forgot-
ten the inclosure," he continued, yet with
an inward conviction that the act was
perfectly premeditated on the part of the
old man.
The young girl held out her hand
frankly. “Don’t think any more of it,
Mr. Renshaw. Father is forgetful at
times. But tell me about last night.”
In a. few words Mr.'Renshmv briefly
but plainly related the details of the at-
tempt upon the Pontiac, from the moment
that he had been awakened by Nott to his
discovery. of the unknown trespasscr’s
flight by the open door to the left. When
he had finished, he hesitated,.and then
taking Rosey’s hand, said impulsively,
“You will not be angry with me if I tell
you all? Your father firmly believes that
the attempt was made by the old French-
man, do Ferrieres, with a view of curry-
ing you off.” .
A dozen reasons other than the one her
father would have attributed it to might
have called the blood to her face. But
only innocence could have brought the
look of astonished indignation to her eyes
as she answered quickly:
"So that was what you 'were laugh-
Ing at?”
“Not that, Miss Nott," said the young
man eagerly: “though I wish to God I
could accuse myself of nothing more dis—
loyal. Do not speak, I beg,” he added
impatiently, as Rosey was about to reply.
“I have no right to hear you; I have no
right to even stand in your presence until
I have confessed everything. 'I came to
the Pontiac; I made your acquaintance,
Miss Nott, through a fraud as wicked as
anything your father charges to. de Fer-
ricres. I am not a contractor. I never
was an honest lodger in the Pontiac. I
was simply a spy.”
“But you didn’t mean to be—it was
some mistake, wasn’t it?" said Rosey,
quite white, but more from sympathy
with the offender’s emotion than horror
at the offense.
“I am afraid I did mean it. But bear
with Inc for a few moments longer and.
you shall know all. It’s a long story.
\Vill you walk on, and—take my am?
You do not shrink from. me, Miss Nott.
Thank you. I scarcely deserve the kind-
ness.” '
Indeed so little did Rosey shrink that
he was conscious of a. slight reassuring
pressure on his armas they moved for-
ward, and for the moment I fear the
young man felt like exaggerating his
offense for the sake of proportionate sym-
pathy. “Do'. you remember,” he contin-
ued, “one evening when I told you some
sen. tales, you said you always thought
there must be some story about the Pon-
tiac? There was a story of the Pontiac,
Miss Nott—a wicked story—a. terrible
story—which I might 1have told you,
whichIought to have told you—which
was the story that brought me there. You
were right, too, in saying that you
thought I had known the Pontiac before
Istepped first on her deck that day. I
had.”
He laid his disengaged hand across
lightly on Roscy’s, as if to assure himself
that she was listening.
“I was at that time a sailor. I had
been fool enough to run away from col-
lege, thinking it a fine romantic thing to
- ship before the mast for a voyage round
the world. I was a little disappointed,
perhaps, but I- made .thebest of it. and in
two years I was the second mate of awlinler
lying in a little harbor of one of the im-
civilizcd islands of the Pacific. While we
were at anchor there a French trading
veSSei put in, apparently for water. She
had the drcgs of a mixed crew of Lascars

that the captain and mate had been car-
ried off by fever. There was something
so queer in their story that our skipper
took the law in his own. hands, and put
me on board of her with a. salvage crew.
But that night the French crew multinicd,
cut the cables, and would have got to sent
if we had not been armed and prepared,
and managed to drive them below.
When we had got them under hatches
for a few hours they parieyed, and
offered to go quietly ashore. As we were
short of hands and unable to take them
with us, and as we Fluid no evidence
against them, we let: them go, tool: the
ship to Callao, turned her over to the au-
thorities, lodged a. claimpfor salvage, and
continued our voyage. \Vhen we returned
we found the truth of the story was
known. She had been a'French trader
from Marseilles, owned by her captain;
her crew had mutinied in ,the Pacific,
killed their ofiicers and the only passenger
—the owner of the cargo. They had made
away with the cargo and a treasure of
nearly half a million of' Spanish gold for
trading purposes which belonged to the
passenger. In course of time the ship
was sold for salvage and put: into the
South American trade until the breaking
out of the Californian‘gold excitement,
when she was sent with a cargo to San
Francisco. That ship,jvas the Pontiac

A moooc WARRIOR-JAMS.
Interesting Intervicwjfltli a Member of
the Once Famous ,‘l‘HIie of Indians.
The Modocs on their native heath were as
determined a tribe of: ‘diaus angevcr at.
heads of their ,white brothers. Itcostmil-
lions of money and'domns of valuable lives
to subdue them when they put on their war
paint; a few years ago and commenced to
raise Cain and the hair of the settlers. No
tribe of equal number evol- cost the govern-
ment: halfas much trouble as the Modocs.
The remnants of- this once powerful tribe are
being slowly extinguished ,by intermarriage
and consumption on theiriireservation in In-
dian territory. Two of their number, “Til.
liam Clinton and thohistmjic William Feith.
full, called at our office the other day. The
fox-liter is a bright yotmg man, who was but;
a child when 'his people were wrestling
for supremacy with the United States gov-
ernment. He. is well educated, speaking and
writing the English language faultlessly.
In speaking of his people he said: “There
are not many of us nOW, death havingre-
duced our number to less than ninety, and in
a few years we will not have a living reprc.L
scntative. The climate does not agree with
us at the reservation and_'many are slowly
dying from consumption. I believe if they
were brought back to California they would
recover. Icame out here; fourteen months
ago with five of my people whom it was
thought would die before,thcy reached their
old home. Only one died and the other four
havc’cntirely recovered. I am going back
tomorrow to sell off my possessions and will
return with as many of my people who are
sick as my money will bring.”
Clinton spoke with feeling, and seemed to
be anxious that his tribe Should not become
extinct. _
Accompanying Clinton was William
Faithful], who said that he also was on his
way to theIndi'un territory. Folthfllll is
well advanced in years, and his stiff, wiry
hair will soon be gray. During-the Modoc
Outbreak he fought from the opening to the
close with Capt. Jack, but: seems to have had
more honor and‘ principle than that noted
leader. , '
Through Clinton as interpreter he spoke
freely of ‘ his part in the war. He can speak
very good English, but says he hates to use
the language of a race that has done him so
much wrong.
“W's were being wronged,” said Feithfull,
“and had to fight. Afterward we were sorry
we had started on the Warpath, but were
afraid to stop, for Capt. Jack said we would
be killed anyway, and might as well die
fighting. Lots of times some of us would go
to Jack and say that we would fight no
more, but he would make along speech, and
we would agree to . 1rht ,on. When 'Capt.
Jack planned to ”detect a . 9 peace commis‘
sinners and murder them, I made up my
mind to go and warn them, but I was
watched so closely that I could not get away.
I then sent: a squaw named Toby Riddle, and
she warned Col. Meacham, but they believed
in Jack, and not in me. Dr. Thomas was
killed. Col. Meacham was in Indian terri-
tory afterward, and gave me $10 for saving
his life. Lots of times I could have killed
white men, but never did. I have one squaw,
and am going home to get: her out here
where she will be happy. Ihave no chil~
dren.”—-Yreka Union. '
How Governor “ Bob " Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, a gentleman of high social
and official standing in St. J osepb, tells a
story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction:
“I was coming up the Missouri river when
I was a boy,” said the ex-governor, “and I
was working my way on a steamboat. At a
point where we hadto wood up I didn’t carry
as big a load as some of the roustabouts, nor
move with that agility that the others did,
for I was not strong, and had been tenderly
raised. The mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang plank, and he
gave me a kick and sent me ashore and con-
fiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my
passage to that point. I never saw that mate
again until I had been inaugurated as gov-
ernor of this great commonwealth of Miss
souri.
“One day, wandering through the wards
and districts of the penitentiary, I saw that
mate working at a forge. He had been sent
his command. I knew him instantly, and I
directed the warden to send the man to the
gubernatorial mansion in the garb of a gen-
tleman. then the man arrived Itook him
into my private office and asked him if he
recognized me. He replied that he did not.
Said I: ‘Do you remember one time, and at
such and such a place, of kicking a boy and
sending him ashore who had been working in
your gang?
“The man said: ‘No, I don’t remember it,
but it is very likely that I did it.’
“ ‘Well,’ says I, ‘I am that boy and here is
your pardon. I always thought I would get
even with you.’
“The tears camp to the old man’s eyes, and
he said: ‘Well, governor, to be a mate in
those days a. man’had to be a dog.’
“ ‘You played well your part,’ I said.
‘Now, lenvo here, and don’t let me see you
again.’ .,
“As he made his exit I gave him an able
bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart had got
even with that big'steambont maize.
“Sounds like rqntanoe. don’t: it? Yes. But
every word is true, I need barely say, sir.”—

OLD FO‘LKS’ HABITS.
STEADY WORK, AN EVEN PULSE AND
REGULAR LIVES
re the Potent Factors That: Make Old
Age Possible in New England—People
‘Vlm llavc Survived In Spite of ltmttoro'
Rules. .
Poor Richard‘s “Early to bed and early to
rise," etc, never had a better illustration
than The Globe‘s old people have given it.
Notilnly have the farmers and their wives
been early risers, but; nearly all who have fol-
lowed other occupations have been also. ' If
observance of Franklin’s maxim has had any
predominant effect conducivoto longevity,
the fact we have just stated strikes a hard
blow at the theory, of some physicians, who
..claim that man should not go abroad in the
morning until the sun has been up long
enough to dissipate the noxious vapors which
have risen from and overhang the earth’s
surface during the night.
’ 80 marked were the instances of early ris-
ing tend retiring that The Globe made a. list;
of persons who may be said to represent the
extremists of at least the first lines of the
maxim. and found that out of about 2,000
persons whose habits of life were intelligent-
ly set forth in the blunks 330 men have been
through life in the habit of lying nbod not
later than 5:30 o’clock in the morning, while
328 Women always have risen before 6 a. m.,
most of whom still continue to do so. These
are the people who were trained from youth
to get a grip on the day’s work that did not:
loosen until it was done; who cleared our
forests, built our roads, founded our towns,
established our school system, and from the
native richness of their country homes sent
into the world the sturdy young men, the
rosy checked young women, with whose in-
flux the tOWn 'became the city, the city a
metropolis, and a profitable market was cre-
ated for the products of the farms they had
. left, and the money made in mercantile life
.w'ent back to the tillers of the soil and our
inland commerce came into being.
One correspondent, writing from New-
”. market, N. H., gives a good idea of the cir-
Lcumstances of some of the old people he has
seen, and advances one or two ideas not un-
supported by medical opinion. He says: “I
could extend names almost indefinitely of
men all around here living on an abundance
of plain food, hard workers, no liquors, regu-
lar in their habits, who never die from dis-
ease. but only as old age takes them off. I
include regular church attendance, because
I believe that to be an important matter as
giving peace of mind, contentment and hope
-—o.ll favorable to longevity. On the other
hand, I could furnish a large list of persons
who, other things being favorable, have
killed themselves with liquor, cider, irregu~
larity in eating, working and sleeping; some
living to gdod age but always sickly. Men
1nd women living in the neighborhood, who
have been temperate in all things, never die,
if they escape cousmnption, except from
pneumonia 01"0tllel' acute disease. Almost
every farmhouse that has remained in the
same family for a century will be a. home for
three. or four generations, all living together,
extremes meeting—excellent company for
each other and the happiest families that can
be found. No danger of filial love and rev-
crcnce dying out in such families as those.”
“There is one point which I have tried to
bril'ng out in this canvass among the old
pm) ',” writes another correspondent, “and
'i.:.'i. is the effect of tobacco on the health.
If this point has been as carefully considered
by other correspondents and with the same
results, it alleviates the fem-:1 which many
may entertain about nicotine and the cur-
tailment of life by the use of tobacco.
Among the very oldest of the people inter-
viewed, between 90 and 100, the men have
been addicted to the use of tobacco, in the
majority of cases, since an early care.”
But our returns fail to show that any con-
siderable number of the old people ever made
habitual use of liquor tln'ongh life: and it;
must be borne in mind that the Medi‘ord rum
of our grandfathers and other liquors in use
' half a century ago were without doubt purer
and better than liilleiL’CI’I-twelltletvils of the
liquor sold today. One hundred and fifty of
the old gentlemen say positively that they
never used liquor 01‘ lobacco in any form, 93
confess to the use of liquor only, 11 to the
use of tobacco only, {while 54 admit having
made habitual use of both liquor and to-
bacco, though instances of immoderate use
of liquor are very rare. We cannot think
these figures accurate, as it is doubtful if this
subject was thoroughly canvassed, but it; is
safe to say that a very small proportion of
the men and but; a trivial number of the
women made habitual use of liquor and to
bacco. ‘ .
It is curious to note, by the way, that
many of the men who used liquor only in
early life ceased using it entirely, while of
the men who used liquor and tobacco nearly
all who discarded liquor clung to the tobacco
habit. Cider, forty-four men say. they have
drank for years, but the effect of hard cider
upon the constitution cannot be learned from
The Globe’s figures until some of the farmers
that had nothing to say on the subject are
heard from.
The statistics of women who made habitual
use of liquor or tobacco are more incomplete
than of the men. Only three were willing to
say that they had used snuff—which must be
a. very small proportion of the correct nnm--
her—and eleven admit having smoked, which
proportion, too, must be small.
lVith exceptions so few as to be not worth
recording numerically, the old people upon
the list have had three meals a. day, at reg-u-
lar hours, of substantial food through their
lives; and, what is more interesting, nine-
tent-hs of them still continue to eat heartily,
and of whatever they like. It is a. hygienic
law that three light meals a day are better
for elderly people in health than one heavy
one, and our old people, of course, are simply
following the dictates of natnr 1, while at the
samc‘fimc they prove the truth of her teach-
ings. Ten. and coffee, too, they use, one or
the other, but most of them both, with only
about a dozen exceptions. Some have taken
to drinking these beverages late in life, but
not enough, we may infer, to affect the ac-
curacy of the statement that nearly all of
them have been tea and coffee drinkers.
0f vegetarians but nine are mentioned, five
men and four women. Two women eat no
vegetables, one eats none that grow above
ground, one eats no fish and one eats no meat.
To sum up their table habits, our octogena-
rians as a. whole have eaten and drunk just
what the rest of the family have, in youth
and in old age.
Several instances of the “milk cure” are re-
corded. Human milk contains very little Inli'j,‘
matter, and skimmed milk closely resembles
it; and the remedy consists in living for a
time exclusively on skimmed milk: no
strength is lost by the natural process of di~
gestion, and the surplus nutriment gained by
thus furnishing the stomach with what it can
digest with little effort goes into the blood
and builds up the system; and, as one writer
says, “the effect of thus returning to the sim-
ple nourishment of childhood strikingly and
beautifully illustrates the chemistry of the
living body. "—Boston Globe.
