"His mother was the very soul of hon or," exclaimed Capt. Layard, "and ;hat child cannot but be the spirit of truth and honesty itself." He shut the lid and added: "Where, I Wonder, does the human soul come from? The father cannot give his, or a pcrtioi of his, to the child, nor can the ino'.h?r, for that might involve the forfeiture of their title to immortality. The great poet must be right; the soul which informs a child, which spiritualizes it in the womb and at its birth must come to God, whj is its Home. What a wonderful thought! what a revelation it has been to me! What an assurance and promise!" He stood gazing steadfastly at Jlardy, who, saying a little uneasily, 'These are matters quite beyond me, sir," again made for the door, through which he passed in silence, the captain standing motionless, his hands clasped before him and his eyes seeming to see something beyond the bulkhead, upon which he J ad fastened them. At 8 o'clock Hardy's watch came round. He went on deck in a very thoughtful state, and the deep dye of that tremen dous void of black vapor was very well qualified to darken his mood into the hua of the crow—a bird deemed portentous In ancient seafaring. He stood in the spokes of lamp-sheen about the skylight and called to Mr. Candy, who came upon him suddenly out of some part of the dock like a man walking through a gla^s in a dark room. He exchanged a few sen tences with this second mate, but they wholly concerned the business of the ship. Candy was not a person to take into one's confidence; his silver while lasTi shaded a pale eye that marked one of those souls which, as you cannot m ;ko up your mind about them, you resolve to distrust; otherwise Hardy, in defiance of all law of discipline, and even of sea breeding, would, in the horror of anxiety that then possessed him, have been glad to hear Mt. Candy's opinion of the com mander. The second mate went below to bed, after reporting that he had visited the forecastle and found the Newfoundland FEEL THE CHANGE. Hundreds Voluntarily Endorse a Scientific Product. A Statement by a Weil Known Citi zen Who Has Found (ireat Re lief by Using It. The great gcod that Morrow's Kid-ne oids are doing in St. Paul for all forms of kidney and urinary disorders is being daily told by our citizens. All who use Kid-ne-oids for backache, dizziness, sleep lessness, nervousness and eencral debility give hearty expression of the quick relief they obtained. Mr. James A. Young, with the S'andard House Furniture company, 128»4 Congress street, says: "I have had trouble with my back for about ten years. I would get a stitch in my back at Times so I could not move without suffering intense pain in the region of the kidneys. When I would bend over I could hardly straighten up a^ain on account of severe pains across my back. I was very nerv ous and restless and could not sleep at night. I was subject to spells of dizziness and had other distressing and annoying symptoms of disordered kidneys. After trying different kinds of kidney remedies without obtaining satisfactory results I was finally relieved by using Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. My back has ceased aching, my nerves are stronger, which enables me to sleep well at night. I will con tinue to take Kid-ne-oids as occasion re quires and will recommend them to others." Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pflls, but Yellow Tablets and sell at 50 cents a box at all drug stores and at Ticknor & Jagger'sldrug store. Mailed on receipt of price.

The air of wind was still north-west; it breathed with just weight enough to steady the topsails and the foresail. As the ship leaned with the languid heave of the sea the sails hanging from the yards on the caps, and the festooned clews of the invisible mainsail, flapped in strokes of the pinionß of mammoth birds winging betwixt the masts. The lap of the brine against the bows, which were slowly breaking the hidden waters, saddened the blindness of the night with a note of supernatural pain and grief. The ship was moving slowly, and, as be fore, nothing of her was distinguishable but the dim lustre, smoking in hurrying streams and wreaths of vapor about the skylight and about the binnacle stand. It was damp, depressing, heart subdu ing. The philosophy of the mariner, which is one of endurance, and that spe cies of submission which is attended with sea blessings and the profanities of the ocean parlor, breaks down in the fog. Here is the helplessness, here is the sealed eye, the spirit of groping anxiety which is a sort of anguish. It is not his ship or himself that he fears; the emo tions bred by fog are ahead or abeam, and it need not be steam, for a dirty little brig or schooner, with her half-dozen of a crew shouting their consternation un der the foretopmast stay, has been known to smite and sink an ocean palace full of light, of superb machinery, of saloon tables glowing with fruit and plate and populous with diners. The deck was not to be comfortably measured in a quarter-deck walk, in blackness so dense that if you swerved by so much as two degrees of angle of foot you thumped your breast against the bulwarks. Hardy laid hold ol the wet weather yang on the quarter and fell intc reflection, for loneliness breeds thought, and no man is more lonely than the officer of the watch on board a mer chantman. His mind went again to Julia Armstrong, but it had found an unset tling fascination in Capt. L.ayard, and it quickly returned to him. He could not doubt that he was a little mad; his ideas were strange, yet his speculations show ed thought and culture. He was insane to one to whom he talked freely, but to his crew, to whom he would not and did not talk, he must be the commonplace "old man" of the quarter deck, and in this way Hardy feared he might prove dangerous even to tragedy. The ship's bell hung in the wake of the_gasley, and a little clock, illuminated by a bull's-eye lamp, was hung up under a pent house on a timber erection just be l'ore it. A lookout man would walk to the clock to see the time, and at 10 he struck "four bells," at which hour it was as black and thick as ever after Its first coming; the light breeze blew, and the ship swayed softly through the void. Hardy made his way forward to see to the dog. He struck between two men who were walking the deck, and one mut tered: "What cheer." "By God, my lads," said Hardy, "you'll not find out what a wolf's had for dinner by squinting down his throat!" There was a faint haze about the fore scuttle: it came up into the inky thick ness from the forecastle lamp. It was a slight relief, and even a rest for the eye, but the shadow forward was deeper than it was aft, for up there in the void was the raven thunder cloud of foresail and toretopsail, and further forward yet, like ebon waterspouts soaring irom sea to topmast head, were the midnight dyes of the jib and staysail. Hardy found the night lights burning brightly, and, going towards the heel of the bowsprit, he touched the Newfound land lookout with his foot. He patted the invisible shaggy head and passed his arm around its neck and pressed the creature's long wet paw to his breast, a token of love and encouragement which the dog acknowledged by a grunt or two of happiness. "Keep a bright lookout, Sailor," said Hardy, patting the shaggy, Invisible head again, and knowing there were two hu man lookouts somewhere about he called, and they answered out of the black blackness to the leeward. Well, he could not tell them to keep their eyes skinned, for the sight of man and even of dog lay dead upon that forecastle, but he di rected them to listen with all their might, to go often to the headrail and strain their ears, and they answered, "Ay, ay, .sir." Very plainly on this forecast!* Old you IHE ST. PAUL GLOBE, MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1900, hear the sulky sob of the sea, like some thing large and timid, grasping to the rude shock of the stem. The ocean hiss ed a little here and there, but the light wind could not give life enough to the glance of the curl of sea to strike through it to the eye, even though one looked straight down over the rail. Hardy slowly made his way aft, and on approaching the binnacle discerned the captain standing in the faint sheen close to the helmsman. "I never remember a thicker fog," said the captain, and he asked questions about the lookout, the dog and the side lights. Then walking out of the binna cle haze he struck the bulwarks almost abreast, and Hardy followed and stood alongside. "Whenever I am in this sort of thing," said Capt. I.ayard, "I think of the blind. It is terrible to wake of a bright morning to the eternal darkness of one's life. 1 should fear the presence of visions In that everlasting gloom. It would be haunted with phantoms, and as thick set with wild, grotesque, horrible, brassy faces as the human eye when morphia closes the lid." "My father is, as you know, sir, a doctor," said Hardy, "and I've heard him speak of the blind. He declares they are less to be pitied than the stone deaf." The captain pshaw'd. "He would say," con tinued Hardy, "contrast the faces of the two afflictions. They both force the mind's eye more deeply inwards, but in the one there is the pain of attention ever strained and a baffled, helpless look, whilst the other is mild and restful, as though it had found peace in its com munes with God." "Your father may be a very clever man," said Capt. Layard, "but I have no faith in doctors. I have never met a doctor who did me any good, and I have been ill in my time, believe. They let my wife die." He paused as If in some passage of deep emotion. In this interval Hardy thought to himself what an extraordinary con versation for the quarter deck of a ship, close upon midnight, in a dense fog! Some banging fold of canvas flapped aloft. In a voice as changed as though he was acting, the captain exclaimed: "That's the speech of a sail that asks to be furled. The glass is high, and there's no foul weather anywhere. If the breeze freshens by ever so little, or if this light air draws ahead, call me, sir." There was positive refreshment in this plain speech of the sea to Hardy, who on replying to the captain found that he had gone, and in the streaming faint ness hovering in the companion just caught a sight of his head disappear ing. Seven bells had been struck, and Har dy was beginning to think it would be eight bells soon, which must signify Fhel ter, freedom from the dwarfish drerch of the vapor, as fine but as penetrating as rain in Lilliput, a warm blanket, half a pipe, and then oblivion for an offshore spell of nearly four hours, when on a sud den the dog barked. The tones were de?p and constant, and to the iirst roll of those organ notes the loose wet canvas beat the masts aloft in a sudden heave of th? whole fabric, and an element of alarm and even of fearful expectation entered the black void and thickened it, a".d seemed to close it round about till th^ smoking color of light on forecasts and quarterdeck dimmed into the preternat ural faintness of the salt sea glow when it shudders a fathom deep under some smooth tropk; surface. The dog continued to bark, and th3re was an importunate vehemence in 1:1s notes, a bounding pulse of urgency, as though the noble creature, with hitflfncts superior to man's, knew that a matter of life or death was concerned in his sen tinel bugling. Voice? sounded forward, you heard a hurry of feet; again the ship leaned, and the sails smote the mast with an alarm sound of metal; and to the ac companiment of this midnighc concert, made ghastly by blackness, by the over whelming blindness.. of fog and by the presence of danger, Hardy rushed for ward, taking his chances of what miyht be in the road. "Jump for a port fire, one of you," he shouted, sending his cry slap Into a very web of seamen's growling voices, the own ers of which were no more to be seen than the ship's keel. "What is it, Sailov?" And now he was alongside the dug, ani with his hand on its head felt in the di rection of the creature's muzzle, and ftouod it was delivering its not** straight away over the head rail, about two points on the weather bow. "Wheel therei" he roared. "Starboard your helm. Let her go off five points." "Starboard it is, sir" came back the an swer. "See that sheen out to starboard therc\ sir?" rang out a voice which sounded clear through the barking of the dog. "Hush! Sailor. Down, sir. Hush, my beauty," cried Hardy, and the dog was instantly silent. "Hark! now." A sort of oozing of light, dimly scarlet, wild and weak and wet, ac some ghos ly star of death hovering over a grave, wag visible to windward, a trifle forward of the fore rigging. "Hark!" cried Hardy, and, sure enough, amid the greasy slop ping of water, falling lazily from tho thrust of the ship"s bow, they could hear a distant noise of shouting, of cries re echoed as from one part of a deck to the other, with a deeper threading of some throat hoarse in a speaking trumpet. "Is the mate sang out the voice of the ships carpenter. "Fire one right-saway off," shouted Har dy, knowing what the fellow had got and meant. In a few heart Deals a stream of sun bright flre was pouring like water fmn a hose over the bow: but its lightning il lumination touched tout a narrow stretc'n of the dark water. The forefail turned of a sickly yellow, and the stays;il soared wan as the wing of the albatross in dying moonlight. All above and abaft, and then forward to the flying jlbbo^m end, yards and sailcloth lay steeped in the impenetrable smother, and within the area of the light the fog drove slowly in a yery milky way of silver crystals. But the men could s«e one another, and, help ed by the light, Hardy sped aft to bj near the wheel, and there he found Capt. Lay ard. "There's a ship off the starboard bow, sir," answered the commander. "They re burning flares, or we shouldn't see her. A foreigner, by the row. How's Bhe head ing?" That question was answered even as he asked it by the revelation of a ship. It had the suddenness of a magic lan tern picture flung swiftly. They saw at the range of a pistol a lurid shape, which they easily distinguished as a barque with painted ports, a tall poop, and a tall topgallant forecastle. She was burning flares upon her main deck and waist, and the red flames, winding tongues of flre inrto feathers of soot black smoke, jeweled the whole appari tion with red hot stars. They pierced through the fog like sunlit rubies from glass and brass, from wet plank and mast, and the grease of spars. She was so close that she shone out clearly, and made light enough for the people of the York to see by. Her helm was hard up and she was slowly paying off, but her flying jlbboom must catch the miz zen rigging of the Australian clipper. You heard the splintering of wood aloft, the crash of nearer timber, broken off car rot like betwixt a lazy roll of both ships. The barque's decks were a sight for the gods. Figures of men could be seen rul ing frantically here and there. They were all shouting; r»en on the poop were screeching ordejs. ft»d nothing but the helm gave heed; m«n on the forecastle were roaring a»d flourishing their fists. The flames dup^eate^ the shadows of the running figuresjt painted lines of the rigging upon thft pla»ks writhed between the water ways/ like serpents snaking their attenuatedisleng&hs overboard. Nev er did any sea? ligh£ flash up a more startling, a wilder, la more ghastly ta pestry. 'Twas like a painting in flames and ruddy star* upwn the black canvas of the fog, and the: hull, with its lines of ports like the kejs=i of a piano, reeled slowly off on tMe lifit of the brine, yard arm to yard ai"jn, trfce beating canvas of each red as th«r powder flag, and dying out up aloft like? the>reflection of a burn ing ship upon a< clo«d. It was all too iwaaathless for action aboard the Yorfc. Before a brace could be let go, before an order could be yelled, the stranger's flying jibboom was crackling and gone, and her topgallant mast, with its canvas, was plaistering the topsail; and then it was almost chan nel to channel, and the barque's poop was abreast of the York's quarter deck. "Great God!" cried Hardy. A figure standing near the stranger's mizzen fell, and another figure fled aft, but at that instant some back draught of breeze thickened the crystals of the tog smoking close to the stranger's taf- frail with a dense feathering of the black atench from the flares; the burning: pic ture vanished out astern, as though to the fall of a curtain of midnight hue, the soundß of shouting sank, and in the hush that fell upon the York's deck, nothing was to be heard but the dreary lamenta tions of broken water under the bows, and the weeping noise of eddies under the counter. "A close ghave!" said Capt. Layard, fetching a deep breath. "She has not hurt us, I think." "I saw a man fall as If stabbed," said Hardy. "Back the topsail! I'll keep the ship hove to till we can see," exclaimed the captain, whose attention, concentrated by the sudden blackness into which the ship had floated, was wholly in the maneuver he had commanded. The order was sung, out, the sailors came groping their way aft to the main braces, the yards were swung, and the ship was brought to a stand, lightly rolling her masts with a slap of hidden pinion, which made you think of some gigantic navy signal man waving flags. "My noble dog has saved my ship," exclaimed the captain. "I am a remark able man!" And, to use a Paddyism, Hardy could hear in the skipper's speech the expression of exaltation which his face did undoubtedly wear. The skip per, whistled, and in a few moments felt the snout of the fine black creature press ing lovingly again his thigh. "Come along below," said he, passing his hand caressingly along the invisible feathers of the dog's back, "till I dry you and see how you look, and we'll take a peep at Johnny." And he and the dog vanished. Just at that moment eight bells were struck. It was midnight, and the star board watch must tend the ship till 1 4. Whilst the last chimes were trembling into the damp, depressing, flapping sounds which clothed the obscure heights, the chief mate was hailed by a man whose voice proceeded from abreast of the gangway. Hardy stepped to the com panion where the sheen lay and exclaim ed: "I am here." At the same moment Mr. Candy came out of the companion and joined him. Before one could ad dress the other three figures entered the space of faint, saturated light. "Here's a man," s-aid one of them, "that's jumped aboard us off the barque. He come up to me and asked to see the capt'n." "Which Is the man?" said Hardy, straining his sight. One of them said, 'I am, mister. I am French." And then in French he asked if Hardy spoke that tongue. "No," answered Hardy. "Come below into the cabin to the captain." And after a few words with Mr. Candy, who heard now for the first time that they had nearly been run into by a tall French barque, he went down the cabin steps, followed by the Frenchman. In this interior plenty of light was shining, and it was as nocntide after the midnight of the deck. The captain was near the table drying the dog with a cloth and talking to him, and praising him as though he were a man, and the creature's mild and benevolent eyes look ed up into his face, and you read grati tude and affection in the noble brute. "Who's that?" said the captain, throw ing the cloth down and looking with a knitted brow at the Frenchman. "He will explain, sir," Hardy answered. "Softly," exclaimed the captain, "an angel lies asleep in that cabin," and with a melodramatic flourish of his arm he pointed to the door of his berth. The Frenchman looked at Hardy. He was a man of middle height, in a drill or thin canvas blouse, over which was but toned at the throat a rough, old jacket, the sleeves hanging loose. He wore blue trousers patched with black, stuffed into half-boots bronzed by wear and brine. His black hair curled upon his shoulders, and he held a cap fashioned out of Borne sort of skin. His face was a ghostly yellow: his lips a vivid red; his nose long, lean and humped, and the black -pupils of his eyes sparkled in the flashes of the swinging lamp amid their whites, which, by the way, were crimson with drink or gout, or both. It was a face to peer at you, malevolently, from a time-darkened canvas, very picturesque, very romantic, but something that you would not like to think was treading behind you on a lonely road. "Who are you?" said the captalp L put- ting his hand upon the head of the dog, In whose body a sort of rolling noise might have been heard, not quite a growl, but a note as of suspicion grumbling deep down below the throat. "You speak French, I hope, sar?"' said the man. "And you speak English!" responded the captain, with a side look and a grin at Hardy. "It's no business of yours whether I speak French or not. Start your yarn." And the man, clearly understanding what was said, began. (To be continued.) —: NEwsiTS I LODGE ROOMS. I ROYAL, NEIGHBORS. Maple Leaf Camp No. 331, R.
