PLOWED UNDER.
It grieves me much, the homes that I hay*
■polled,
Of nest and burrow,
A* In my barley Held today I toiled
Plowing the furrow.
Armies of ants that grain by grain have laid
Their snug embankment
Were overwhelmed by my unhappy raid-
Fort and encampment.
Tha sliver ropes a cunning gymnast spun
Met suoh disaster
That a wise fly who watched the spider run
Buzzed out with laughter.
Beneath a roof where dandelion stars
The rafters gilded,
Beoured by no distrustful bolts nor bars.
Soma birds had builded.
X peeped within, despite a sentry bold
Of doughty metal.
Whose stinging impudence I knew of old—
His name waa Nettlel
Xt waa not his rude protest made mo spare
My sparrow tenants;
I vanquished him, but left stiU fluttering there
The flower pennants.
And oh! I grieve that I who hate to roam
From my own burrow
Bave turned blind little moles out of their
home
Beneath my furrow!
-May Riley Smith in Wide Awake.
QUELLING A MUTINY.
"Am I fond of yachting? Well, no, I
can't say that I am, although I once
owned as pretty a craft as ever flew a
pennant. I made but one cruise, and
the experience of that trip was of such a
nature that I bade farewell to salt water
and pleasure craft for good and all. I
lost my heart, however, before I got
through with it; and as it has been a mat
ter of considerable speculation among
my friends as to just how I won the best
woman on earth, I don't mind telling
you the story, if you are all so inclined."
It was at the Hoffman, in the cele
brated "pink room," that the popular
and genial Harry Lacy was entertaining
a member of his club friends and old as
sociates. He had lately returned from
Europe, where he had been absent two
years or more; and upon his return to
the shores of his native land had brought
with him, to the no small astonishment
of his intimate acquaintances,a bride pos
sessing both beauty and rare accomplish
ments, to share his love and the ample
fortune that he had inherited.
Settling back into the depths of his
luxurious chair, and lighting a fresh
cigar, the host, amid a general chorus of
eager assent, began his story:
I was beginning to weary of Paris,
and had lost all interest in the gay city,
when it was proposed one evening to
drop into De Morcerf's, a fashionable
gambling resort, where one was almost
certain of meeting the leading celebrities
of the gay city.
It was late when we arrived; the rooms
were crowded with tables running, sur
rounded by a jostling throng intent upon
the turn of a card or the twirling of a
ball
The center of attraction, however,
clustered around a young Irish noble
man who had been going at a rapid pace
for some time, and whose escapades had
been tbe talk of Paris for the past month.
Poor fellow! I shall never forget tho
pale and haggard expression his hand
some features bore that night. It had
been whispered that he had about ar
rived at the end of his resources, and the
crash could not be much longer averted.
He was the owner of a yacht possessing
great speed, unrivaled for sea qualities,
while the cabins and appointments were
reputed to be somethißg more than lux
urious and ornate. The stakes had been
large, the bank had been winning, and
the gambler's eyes glittered with excite
ment His hand trembled as he made
bet after bet, only to see the gold raked
over to the care of the imperturbable
croupier.
Pushing his chair back, he wiped the
perspiration from his brow as he hoarsely
muttered;
"My yacht is worth £10,000, and is a
bargain at that figure. She is lying at
Cowes, fitted out complete for a year's
Cruise. I will pledge her against the
amount named."
I The proprietor never hesitated, and
while tapping a gold snuffbox bearing
tbe medallion of Louis XTV nodded
gravely to his antagonist. A hushed,
almost painful, stillness settled upon
.that immediate circle, and with breath
less interest the result was looked for.
It was not long deferred. The bank
.won, and the desperate gamster arose
from the table a ruined man. Five min
utes later a pistol shot rang out, alarm
ing the patrons of the place; the gen
darmes filed in, and the corpse of the
nobleman was taken to the morgue.
The affair made a tremendous stir,
with publio sentiment running high
against the proprietor of the gilded den,
so much so that the politic Frenchman
gladly disposed of the yacht to me for a
ridiculously small sum, glad to rid him
self of the elephant at almost any figure.
: I proceeded at once to Cowes to take
possession of my new purchase, and to
my great disappointment found that
the crew had dispersed. No one was
on board but the steward, who had long
been in the employ of his late unfortu
nate master.
I was fortunate in running across a
bright young fellow at the American
consul's, whom I engaged at once as
master. He had been left behind, sick
in the hospital, and was looking for a
chance as mate when I appeared upon
the scene. His name was Crowell—Fred
Crowell—and, like most of his name
sakes, was a thorough seaman, and a
man every inch of him. We struck a
bargain at once, and leaving all the de
tails in Crowell's hands to get every
thing ready for a cruise up the Mediter
ranean, I departed for Paris to arrange
a pleasant party to accompany me on
the trip.
1 One of my friends, who was com
pelled to back out at the last moment
on account of urgent business, made a
strong appeal in behalf of a relative—
an old gentleman, a widower, having no
one to care for or caress him but his
daughter, Isabel Raymond, a beautiful
Kirl. whose rare devotion and lovely
traits of character impressed me at
Once.
I most that I did not view
favorably my friend's proposition, for 1
had no intention of receiving ladies on
board, but as he put it nrgently on the
basis of a personal favor, I finally con
sented, not without a shade of annoy
ance in my manner.
All were delighted withtheyacht,and
everything was pronounced perfect on
board, from the azure silken hangings
and upholstery in the cabins to the ma
hogany carriages and brass howitzers
ornamenting the snow white deck of the
handsome craft.
The yacht had been out, I think, about
four days, and all of us were beginning
to get our sea legs on, when Captain
Crowell knocked at my stateroom door,
just after breakfast, and requested a
private interview. His usually bright
and open countenance wore a troubled
expression. I conjectured at once that
my sailing master had intelligence of an
unpleasant character to communicate.
And so it proved.
"Mr. Lacy, I dislike exceedingly to
disturb your pleasure or excite unneces
sary suspicions as to the state of affairs
on board your yacht, but I should not
be performing my duty, sir, if I neg
lected longer to give you my views on
the matter. To be brief, sir, I found it
extremely difficult to secure a crew for
the yacht, and it was simply impossible
to follow your instructions relative to
accepting none but picked men. Seamen
were not to be had, for somehow they
fought shy of making so short a trip on
a yacht. I knew you would expect the
yacht ready upon your arrival at Cowes
with your party, and I had some pride
in the matter as to reporting everything
ready, having just entered your employ,
so I had recourse to the services of the
American consul. With his assistance
I shipped what you 6ee here, twelve men
in all —five Frenchmen, four Italians, one
Maltese, one Norwegian and a negro.
I cannot vouch for one of them, and if
you had not been in such a hurry I would
have rejected every mother's son of
them. As it is, wo can get rid of them
as opportunities offer. They havo had
their heads together lately carrying on
a whispered conversation, and you see,
sir, we are at a disadvantage in not hav
ing a good second mate and boatswain.
The gentlemen aft here, including your
self, wear more or less expensive jewel
ry, and the young lady, who is"
"Good heavens, Crowell, what of hen
Come to the point at once!"
"Simply, that the Maltese sailor has
been eying her much as a cat would a
mouse, and I fear there is trouble ahead.
I have my revolver loaded and ready.
I would suggest that you and the gentle
men do likewise, and be ready for a call.
In other words, sleep with one eye
open;" and bowing respectfully, my
broad shouldered captain returned to
his duties on deck.
Here waa news with a vengeance, and
you may depend, gentlemen, I bad but
little appetite for dinner, while my in
terest in yachting took a sudden tumble.
The unfortunate Irishman's yacht had
been obtained through bloodshed, and 1
was superstitious enough to believe that
the fatality might cling to her. I heart
ily wished myself and the entire party
on shore. I would not alarm them by
what the master had stated to me, but a
casual inquiry revealed the fact that
there was not a weapon of any descrip
tion aft save my own revolver, which 1
at once loaded and placed in an inner:
pocket.
We were off Cape St. Vincent, bowl
ing along with a fine breeze, and the
glowing beauties of a gorgeous sunset
had tempted Miss Baymond from the
bedside of her father for a few mo
ments. Poor child 1 she looked pale and
wan, and the fresh air was sadly need
ed, she having been closely confined be
low in consequence of the rapid strides
the malady had made upon her father.
The sea voyage had not proved benefi
cial, and there was but little doubt that
the hand of death was upon him.
Miss Isabel was standing by the break
of the quarter deck on the weather side
while I had stepped to leeward of the
main boom for a moment to take a look
at the coast, which was in plain view.
A slight exclamation of alarm caught
my ear, and turning quickly I detected
the villainous countenance of the Mal-
tese leering with an unmistakable ex
pression at tho young lady. His hand
was extended, as if on the point of grasp
ing her clothing, which was sufficient
for me to act without wasting one word
upon the scarred, swarthy faced scoun
drel. Snatching a brass belaying pin
from the fiferail, I brought it down with
crushing force upon the fellow's head,
felling him to the deck as if struck by
lightning.
The crew, attracted by the confusion
of it, paused, looked at one another and
then began to hitch up their waistbands
and bare their arms, as if bent upon
mischief without further delay. But
Crowell, stepping forward, ordered them
to resume their work, while I stepped
below, snatched a pair of handcuffs from
a spare locker and we soon had the
Maltese secured and stowed away in the
fore peak. In the meanwhile Miss Ray
mond had disappeared below, leaving
me no opportunity to explain or apolo
gize for the fellow's conduct.
It waa evening; the deck was practi
cally deserted save by Crowell, who was
pacing the weather side of the quarter
deck, and myself, who, stretched out on
a hencoop, was enjoying a cigar down to
leeward, on the main deck, pretty well
concealed by the deep shadow thrown
by the huge lug foresail. The gentlemen
aft were deep in the mysteries of a game
of poker, and the subdued hum of their
voices occasionally reached my ear as
the yacht keeled over to leeward. The
moon was rising, the wind came steadily
over the quarter, the sea appeared like
one liquid mass of lire and the evening
was simply perfect.
The harsh guttural voice of the Maltese
suddenly broke upon my ear, and I must
confess I was startled. I knew the fellow
should have been in irons, confined be
low, and his presence on deck in so open
and defiant a manner boded ua, the pas
sengers and officers, no good. It proved
conclusively that the crew were in league,
MWt at any moment a concerted move
ment for murder and plunder might
break forth.
"Is everything ready?" growled the
Maltese.
"Yes. Long Joo is at the wheel, and
he has his long bladed knifo sharpened
for the skipper."
"And I'ze ready to carve the d—d
Americano who hit me ober de head.
I'ze not got de bracelets off none too soon,
and I'm hungry for blood."
"The nigger will take care of the cabin
crowd, backed by the Frenchman. Yon
must make a racket over the after com
panionway, and with the hatchet attend
to all as they show up. We will loos
out on deck, aud in five minutes the
yacht will be our 3. Away now, and be
ready."
LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1892.
With a growl the Maltese crept ovei
the low bulwarks, and stealthily as s
cat worked his way aft, where, with c
low "Hist!" he signaled the man at the
wheel that he ready for his share of the
deadly work ahead.
Captain Crowell was slowly walking
on the woather side, unconscious of the
danger that was brewing, while I,
scarcely knowing what to do, and at 8
loss how to communicate with the
master 'without creating suspicion, crept
aft, revolver in hand, keeping well tc
leeward and under cover of the high,
protecting bulwarks. Occasionally 1
could see the outline of the Maltese
sailor as ho peered over the rail and
noted the gesture of the man at the
wheel in responso to the cautious signals
given by his confederate, who was evi
dently becoming impatient of delay. Ac
I gripped my revolver I felt assured
that tho storm threatening would not
be long delayed, and my heart beat
rapidly as the crisis approached. One
incautious move on my part, and all
might be lost.
A slight tap of the bell forward, a
mero jingle, was heard, and in an in
stant the tall, lithe form of the fellow
at the wheel started into activity. With
one stealthy movement he drew a lons
claspknifo from the bosom of his shirt,
his body inclining forward, tho weapon
poised, ready to plunge it into the bach
of the unsuspecting master, whose back
was turned to the murderous scoundrel.
From my hiding place I could not*
every movement made in the moonlight,
and my nerves had become steady as ]
drew a bead on the figure who would
have committed murder without a qualm
of conscience, if indeed he had any.
It was the first time in my life I had
ever been called upon to shed human
blood, and I must confess, gentlemen.
I felt awfully queer. But it was no thne
for sentiment or delay. It was my life
or his, to say nothing of the others on
board. I aimed for hi 3 broad, stalwart
breast, and with the sharp crack of th£
revolver the man leaped convulsively
into the air, falling dead at the feet ol
the startled Crowell.
In an instant I was by his side. The
master took in the situation at once, and
ere the Maltese had gained a footing on
deck my cool headed sailor had finished
his villainous career, the body dropping
into the sea, and was soon whirling
astern in the bubbling wake of the
yacht. Then shoulder to shoulder we
turned as the crew in a confused mot
came swarming aft, their knives gleam
ing in the moonlight, uttering savage
oaths for vengeance as they charged
bodily up to the quarter deck. Fortu
nately for Crowell and myself they did
not possess firearms.
"Be sure of your aim, sir," was the
master's caution in a low, cool voice,
"and don't spare them."
And yon may depend we didn't. We
fired into the surging, struggling mass
at a pointblank range, winding up tha
careers of four mutineers in less time
than it takes to relate it. The remainder,
warned, fell back irresolute, and as we.
advanced upon them, our weapons still"
smoking at the muzzles, they beat a
precipitate retreat.
By this time the party in the cabin
had taken the alarm. In a body they
came to our assistance, and but little
trouble was experienced in cowing the
survivors into submission. Securely
shackled they were placed below, and
the yacht was once more safe.
Of course the cruise was broken up.
Like myself, the balance of the party
had no desire to keep on when they real
ized the danger they had been in and
the narrow escape we had all experi
enced.
We all lent a hand in working the
craft into Gibraltar, whero tho men
were tried and condemned to tho chain
gang.
During the excitement and row of the
melee the frail hold that Mr. Raymond
retained upon life was loosened. The
shock and fright proved too much foi
the poor old gentleman, and he breathed
his last as we were giving the mutineers
their coup de .grace. He was laid to rest
in the beautiful English burying ground
at Gibraltar, and his daughter waa left
an orphan.
One year from that date I led her to
the altar, and that was the outcome of
my yachting cruise, gentlemen, my first
and last. Neither Isabel nor myself
has any desire to ever step on board of
a pleasure craft of any description. The
associations, for her at least, are too
painful, and we are content to remain
upon terra firma.
The yacht I turned over to Crowell,
and the brave fellow deserved all I did
for him. The understanding was if he
could do anything with her he was to
pay me one-half of what I originally
gave for her. He took her round the
cape, went into the China sea and al
though I cannot vouch for all that fol
lowed I always suspected he went into
opium smuggling. At all events, in a
little more than a year he owned tho
yacht, aud I was glad to have the ill
omened craft off my hands.—Captain H.
D. Smith in True Flag.

Recent German Political Play*.
Some months after Bismarck's dis
missal a historical play called "Der
Neuo Herr" was performed at Berlin.
The subject was the glorification of the
young elector of Brandenburg, known
to history as the »rreat elector, who, ou
ascending the throne of his fathers, dis
missed his father's wicked minister. Of
course nobody could fail to notice the
singularly ill chosen historical parallel,
but it did not end there. The emperor
visited the performance night after
night, applauding vociferously, and even
went out of his way to confer marks of
distinction on author and actors.
This episode was in general discreetly
passed over by the press at the time; the
frnit was not ripe, the cup not yet full.
But for all that it wounded the feelings
of many who, whatever their party, had
retained unsullied the sentiments of
chivalrous gentlemen. A more recent
attempt to propagate political ideas by
means of a stage play, which also found
demonstrative patronage from the em
peror, was choked at its birth by the
apathy of the public, who sat on the
half empty benches in disdainful silence
amid the boisterous applause of the em
peror.—Contemporary Review.
Communication with Stranded Ships.
Some months ago, when the Eider was
stranded off the Isle of Wight, the pro
prietors of Tho Graphic offered a prize
of £100 for the best invention for en
abling ships to communicate with the
shorf. In nil 2,200 competitors entered
for tho prize, and tho award has just
been given to Messrs. Thomson and No
ble, of Southampton. The best means
.of communication is considered by tho
judges to be a rocket, and tho prizo
winners' rocket has about it a novelty
which has heen proved to work admi
rably. Itis fitted with a strong grapnel,
and carries of course a rope, single or
double, according to distance.
Tho grapnel remains closely shut
while the rocket is in flight, but the
moment the ground is reached it opens
and clings on to whatever it touches.
The rope may then be made taut from
the ship, and the passengers and crew
landed in the ordinary way. The ad
vantage of this arrangement is that the
work of rescue can be performed in the
absence of assistance from the shore
end.—London Tit-Bits.
Cropß After the Recent Floods. '
It seemed impossible two months ago
for any corn to bo raised on the flooded
bottomlands of the Mississippi valley,
but the indications now point to a very
fair crop. As soon as the water receded
most of the farmers lost no time in se
curing 6eed, and the extreme moisture
in the soil is bringing on this corn very
rapidly. Had the drought predicted for
July set in early in the month, the
gloomy predictions of the early part of
June would have been more than ful
filled, but tho very moderate weather
has come to the rescue of the flooded
farmer, who in many cases will be able
■to realize nearly as much from his crop
as he could have hoped for had tho river
not left its channel at all.—St. Louis
