fCHAPTEU VI.— Con-timid. ]
Young Mr. lloyul Yardstiekie at-
tended the meeting, but took no part
in the unseemly wrangle, lie selfishly
bided his time, hoping that some oni'
would suggest that the wagor be ile-
clarcd olT. He would,not make a motion
to that effect himself, unless it
seemed positively necessary. They
wrangled thus over nothing for some
time, and then he ventured to speak:
"Gentlemen, as we do not know the
number of the boat, it seems to me the
best way would be to declare all bets
off.'1
A howl of indignation and derision
greeted this speech, and instantly a
dozen suggestions were made, which,
as they were all made at once, were
quite unheard. Finally a big fellow,
evidently an American, settled mat-
ters in tho usual manner by calling
the unruly meeting to order and ask-
ing that a committee be eleeted to
take the whole matter in charge and
see if the number of the boat could
not be ascertained from the pilot.
This was received with enthusiasm,
and in fivo minutes Mr. lioyal Yard-
atickic found hi in self chairman of a
committee of three appointed to in-
terview the pilot
In tho chart-room overhead sat the
two old seafaring friends. Capt.
llreeze Johnson sat with his head rest-
ing upon his hands and his thin gray
hair streaming over his bronzed aud
knotted fingers. His friend, Capt.
1* loyd stood beside him, with one baud
on his pilot's shoulder, expressing more
sj'inpathy by the touch of his hand
than by his words. The story had
made a deep impression on him, though
he confessed he could not understand
it all.
At that moment there was a knock,
and a sailor put his head in at the door
to say that three passengers wished to
sec the pilot.
"They want to know if you have
New York papers, I suppose. Shall 1
let them in?"
"In n minute. Wait till I get the
bear in's o' things a bit. There! I feel
better now. Let 'em come in."
The honorable committee from the
smoking-room entered. The first, who
seemed to be the leader, shrunk back
abashed at sight of tho pilot aud had
not a word to say. As for the pilot, he
6eemcd to shake himself as a lion
about to spring tipou its prey. His blua
eyes flashed, and his big hands were
doubled tip as If to strike. Capt. Floyd,
without in the least knowing what it
meant, but quickly guessing the real
errand of the honorable committee,
stepped before them and said, quickly -
"Gentlemen, I suppose you have
comb to ask the number of tho pilot-
boat."
One of the committee admitted that
was their errand.
"Well, gentlemen, Capt. Johnson
is an officer on my ship, and as
tho Captain I forbid you to speak
to him. You may settle your gam-
bling debts as best you can, but you
shall not use my officers in any such
contemptible business. Jack, show
those persons out."'
The sailor, with a grin, held tho
dcor open, ami then slunk away, one,
at least, thankful to esenpo unharmed
from the room. As the door close !
upon them the pilot broko out in a
terrible oath:
"That is the man! lie tricked me
out of my girl—a-begffin' his folks to
invite her to travel with 'em, and then
kecpin' her away from me. Keep mo
on the bridge, Captain, keep ine on the
bridge,day and night, for I might'dan-

the girl herself was
on board the ship.
Calling a steward,
he ordered lunch to be served to Capt.
Johnson in the chart-room.
"I have ordered your lunch here.
Captain, because I do not suppose you
care to meet that young person iu the
saloon."
"No, Captain, I don't want to meet
him again. I might do something I
should regret's long as I live. Much
obliged to you, I'm sure. I'll take a
bite here, and then goon the bridge
awhile. Mebby the fog will lift by
and by and we can get a notion where
we be."
"Do you know where your boat was
when the fog came on?"
"Exactly. 'Rout twenty miles south
o' Nantucket."
"You are sure?"
"Martin as if the light was in plain
sight. If the fog lift to'rds dark we
ought to make Montauk; and then the
coulie is easy to the Highlands."
The Captain left his pilot contented
ovei a generous lunch, and then went
dowu to the saloon. The passengers
were assembling for the mid-day
lunch, and, taking his scat at the head
of tho long table irt the center, he
called the head steward and asked him
to bring the passenger list. The man
brought u printed slip of paper, and
the Captain began to examine it with
some interest.
"Smith, Smiley, Telford, O'Connor,
Madame Potard,—odd name; some
Frenchwoman,—Gearing, Judge Gcar-
irg and wife, Miss Johnson "
Ho read the name with a start. It
was Just as he expected, anil yet the
name gave him a sense of amazement
mingle.l with exultation. If this
should be his f-iend's daughter lie
would restore her to him and make
them both happy. No doubt there was
some misunderstanding, and with a
little tact he would clear it up and do
both a good turn. There were twenty
hours left,—ample time for such an
affair. Calling the steward again, he
asked him quietly who this person
might be, at the same time pointing
silently at Miss Johnson's name on
printed list.
' That person? O, she's sitting
yonder, 6ir. Third table, next the old
gentleman. I believe he's a judge,

Miss Johnson and calling her to his

then putting her in tho old man's
arms. All would bo forgiven, with
blessings on himself for playing the
kindly Providence in the affair. It
gave his salted old heart a glow of
fresh satisfaction to think of the meet-
ing. Let him first find out who this
other woman was, and then for a
happy meccting,—tears, blessings, and
a little private supper in the chart-
room.
The lunch was soon finished, and
then Mrs. Genriug took her husband's
arm and said,—
"My dear, come to my room for a
little while. I want to talk to you."
"No, I wish to see Mai. I fear she
is ill."

A Tent of Bravery.
A custom like this has spread, ol
course, among neighboring trites un-
der various forms. That i>f the Abys-
sinian braves is described by Mr.
Mansfield I'arkyns. The girls them-
selves play an active part there. When
young people are gathered for amuse-
ment. after a church festival for
instance, one of them will b -gin peel-
ing a straw of green millet which is
full of pith. Her lover's blood runs
cold probably, but he must smile or
own himself a craven. When she has
cut the pith into bits an inch long, ho
stretches out his bare arm. The ex-
ample set, every girl who respects
herself and has a lover follows it.
The young men form a circle with
their arms extended. Blithely then,
with many a jest doubtless, the maid-
ens arrange their l>'ts of pith, upright,
in some fanciful design on the bare
flesh, and sot them alight. They aro
nearly un inch thick, and they burn
slowly, but the hapless youth must
stand and smile as well as he can till
the blood and juices of the seared I'esh
extinguish them. London Standard.

fixing the negative of tho photograph
