packed tenements, whether the inmates
were sick or hungry, some sort of indus

earning a few eents a day in this foul

a free girlhood in village drudgery and
village sports, then a romance of love,
children, hard work, discontent, emi

And now a col In* by day, the oecu pu

at night in a corner in a close and
crowded room on a flock bed not Ht

life.

fidence because they charged nil they
could get for their services—and thriv
ing pawnbrokers’ shops. There were
psrii h schools also-perhaps others;
end off some dark alley, inn room on
tho ground floor, could lie heard tho
strident noise of education going on in
high voiced study and recitation. Nor
were amusements lacking—notices of
balls, dancing this evening, and ten
cent shows in palaces of legerdemain
ami deformity.
It was u relenting day in March;
patches of bine sky overhead, and tho
sun had some quality In its shining.
The children and tile caged birds at
the open windows felt it—and there
were notes of music here and there
above the traftic. and the clamor. Turn
ing down a narrow alley, with a gutter
in the center, attracted by festive
sounds, the visitor came into a small
stone-paved court with a hydrant in
the center, surrounded by tall true
inenl-houses, in the windows of which
were stuffed the garments that would
no longer hold togctiier to adorn tho
person. Here an Italian girl and boy,
with a guitar and violin, were
recalling la belle Napoli and
a couple of pretty girls from the

were the grape harvest. A woman
opened a lower room door and sharply
-called to one of the dancing girls to

rooms where they worked, whore the

TED, poor
- ' _ lir Ted I I’d give
sft my commission
o) "'n to sc e hi m
again.”
(’apt. Kichard Dcbncy, of the Hrtllsh
navy, commander of the man-of-war
Cormorant, was entertaining some
friends in the harbor of -San Francisco,
and the talk turned upon "Ted" l)ob
m-y, ills brother, who had resigned
from the navy several years before be
cause lie had chivalrously prevented a
French cruiser from boring holes in a
wretched opium - smuggling craft.
“Ted” was impulsive, brave, daring,
and loved alike hy Ills superiors and
bis men.
“Have you ever got on the track of
Ted?”
"Once I thought I had, at Singapore,
but nothing came of it. No doubt he
changed his name. He never asked
for nor got the legacy which ray poor
father left him.”
An hour later they were aboard the
Cormorant, dining with a number of
men asked to come and say good-by to
Mostyn, who was starting for England
tho second day following, after a pleas
ant cruise mid visit with Dcbncy.
Meanwhile, from far beyond that
yellow lane of light running out from
Holden (late there came a vessel, sail
ing straight for harbor. Site was a
large oid-fasliioned cruiser, carrying
guns, and when she passed another
vessel she hoisted the Hritish ensign.
Hlie looked like a half obsolete cor
vette, spruced up, made modern by
every possible device, and all her ap
pointments were shapely ami in order.
Site was clearly n Hritish man-of-war,
as shown in her trim-dressed sailors,
her good handful of marines, but her
second and third lieutenants seemed
little like Englishmen, and, Indeed,
one was an American and one was a
Hollander. There was gun drill and
cutlass drill every day, and, ivliat was
also singular, there was boat drill
twice a day, so that the crew of this
man-of-war, as they saw Holden Hale
ahead of them, were perhaps more ex
pert at boat drill than any that sailed.
They could lower and raisoa boat with
wonderful expert ness In a had sea, and
they rowed witli riock-like precision
*nd machine-like force.
Their general discipline did credit to
tile Hritish navy. Hut they were not
given to understand that hy their
commander, Capt. Shewell, who had
an eye like n spot of steel and a tongue
like aloes or honey ns the mood was
upon him.
This was most noticeable when ho
was shut away from the others in Ills
cabin. Then his whole body seemed
to change. The eye became softer,
and yet full of a sort of genial
deviltry, and the body had a careless
alertness and elasticity, the whole
roan had the athletic grace of a wild
animal, and his face had a hearty sort
of humor, which the slightly lifting
lip in its bizaare disdain could not
greatly modify. He certainly seemed
well pleased with himself, and more
than once, as lie sat alone, lie laughed
outright, and once ho said aloud, as
Ills lingers ran up and down a schedule
—not a man-o’-wnr’s schedule—laugh
ing softly:
“Poor old Farquhar, if lie could see
mo now!” Then, to himself; "Well,
as I told him, I was violently tossed
like a bull into the large country, and
I’ve had a lot of adventure and sport.
Hut here's something more—the big
gest game ever played between na
tions by u private person—with a half
million dollars as the end thereof, if
all goes well with my lone corvette!”
The next evening just before dusk,
after having idled about out of sight
of the signal station all day, (’apt.
Shewell entered Holden Hate with the
Hornet, of no squadron. Hut the offi
cers of the signal station did not
know that, and simply telegraphed to
the harbor in reply to the signals
from the corvette that a Hritish man
of-war was arriving. She came leisure
ly up the bay, with Capt. Shewell on
the bridge. Ho gave a low whistle as
he saw the Cormorant in the distance.
He knew the harbor well, and he saw
that the Cormorant had gone to n new
anchorage, not the same as Hritish
raen-of-war took formerly. He drew
away to the new anchorage—he need
not be supposed to know that a change
was expected; besides (ami this was
important to Capt. Shewell), the old
anchorage was nearer the docks, and
it was clear, save for one little life
boat and a schooner which was mak
ing out as he came up.
As she came to anchor the Cor
morant saluted her. and she replied
instantly. Custom officers who were
watching the craft from the shore or
from their boats gave up hope of any
excitement when they saw and heard
the salutes. But two went out to the
Hornet, were received graciously by
C'apt. Shewell, who, over a glass of
wine in hl cabin—appropriately hung
with pictures of Nelson and Colling
wood—said that lie was proceeding to
Alaska to rescue a crew shipwrecked on
an island, irnd that lie was leaving the
next day ux soon as he could get some
iiird though ho feared it would be
difficult coaling up that night. * Still
hk did flat hßttd A great deal, he salA
—Vvliioh was indeed the case---but he
did need soms, and he knew that for
his own safety and the Hornet's ho
must have It. After this, With cheer
ful nompllUients ami the perfunctory
declaration on his part that there was
nothing dutiable on board, the officers
left him, greatly pleased with his cour
tesy, saluted a* they left the ship's
side by the marines (tint sailors stand
ing at the gangway. The officers did
hot notice that one of these sailors
winked an eye at another, atld that
both thelt grlnrted, hod were promptly
Ordered aft by the second lieutenant.
As soon as (t was very dark two Or
three bouts pushed out from tho Hor
net ami rowed swiftly to shore, pass
ing a customs boat ns they went,
which was saluted by the officers in
command. After this, boats kept pass
ing back and forth for a long lime be
tween the Hornet and the shore,
which Was natural, seeing that a first
night In port Is a sort of holiday for
officers ami men, If these sailors had
been watched eldscly, However. It
would have been seen that they visit
ed but few saloons on shore mid drank
little, and then evidently “nsn blind."
Close watching would also have dis
covered the fact that there were u tew
people on shore who were glad to see
the safe arrival of the Hornet, and
who, about one o'clock In the morn
ing, almost fell on the neck of Capt.
Hhewell as they bade him good-by.
Then for the rest of tho night coal
was carried out to tho Hornet Ih
bouts, Instead of her Coming to dock to
load.
Hy daybreak her coal was aboard;
denning up then came and prepara
tions to depart. Capt. Khcwell’s eye
was now much on the Cormorant. H
had escaped one danger, ho had land
ed half a million dollars' worth of
opium In the night, under tho very
nose of tho law, and while customs
boats were patrolling the bay, but
there was another danger—the Inquis
itiveness of tho Cormorant. It was et
iquette for him to call upon the cap
tain of tho Cormorant, and ho ought to
have done so the evening before, but
he dared not run the risk, nor could he
run it this morning. And yet If the
Cormorant discovered that the Hornet
was not a Hritish man-of-war, but a
hold and splendid Imposture, made
possible by a during ex-officer of the
Hritish navy, she might open Are, and
he could make but a sorry fight, for he
was equipped for show ratner than for
deadly action. Ho had got this ex-
Hrltlsh man-of-war two years before,
purchased In Brazil by two adventur
ous spirits in San Francisco, had se
lected his crew carefully, many of
them deserters from the British navy,
drilled them, and at last made this
bold venture under the teeth of a
fortress, and at the mouth of a war
ship's guns.
.lust as he wns lifting anchor to gel
away lie saw a boat shoot out from
the side of the Cormorant. Capt.
Debney, indignant at the lack of eti
quette, mid a little suspicions also—
for there was no Hornet in the Pacific
squadron, though there was a Hornet,
lie knew, in the China squadron—was
coming to see the discourteous com
mander. Ho wns received according
to custom, and was greeted at once by
Capt. Shewell. As the eyes of the two
men met both started, lint Capt. Deti
ney most. He turned white and put
out his hand to the boatslde to sternly
himself. Hut Capt. Shewell held the
hand that had been put out, shook It,
pressed It. He tried to press Capt.
Debney forward, but the other drew
buck in the gangway.
"Pull yourself together, Dick, or
I’UI.l, HICK.
there'll be a mess," said Shewell,
softly.
"My God! how could you do It?” re
plied his brother, aghast.
Meanwhile the anchor had been
raised and the Hornet was moving to
ward the harbor mouth.
"Yon have ruined ns both," said
Richard Debney.
“Neither, Dickl I'll save your
bacon.” He made a sign, the gang
way wns closed, he gave the word for
full steam ahead, and the Hornet be
gan to race through the water before
Capt. Debney guessed his purposes.
“What do you mean to do?” he asked,
sternly, as he saw his own gig falling
astern.
"To make it hard for yon to blow me
to pieces. You’ve got to do It, of
course, if yon can, but 1 must get a
start."
“How far do you intend taking me?”
"As far ns Farilones, perhaps.”
Richard Debney's face had a sick
look. "Take me to your cabin." he
whispered. What was said behind the
closed door no man in this world
knows, and it is as well not to listen
too closely to those who part knowing
that they will never meet again. They
had been children in the one mother's
arras; there was nothing in common
between them now except the old love.
Nearing the Farilones Capt. Debney
was put off in an open boat. Standing
there alone he was once more a naval
officer, and he called out aternly:
"Sir. I hope to sink you and your
smuggling craft in four and twenty
hours!”
Capt. Shewell spoke no words, but
saluted slowly, deliberately, and
watched his brother's boat recede till
It was a speck upon the sea. as it
moved toward Golden Gale.
"Good old Dick!” he said at last as
he turned toward tho bridge; "ami
he II do it if he can.”
But he never did, for as the Cormo
rant cleared the harbor that evening
there came an accident to her ma
chinery, and with two days’ start the
Hornet was on her way to be Sold
again to the South American republic.

Everyone to Her Way,
As there are two sides to everything,
so there arc two ways of doing most
things, and each way has its upholders.
For instance, some excellent house
keepers never allow the tire in th
kitchen range logo out, unless by acci
dent, from one year's end to another,
while other housekeepers, no less ex
cellent, light a fresh tire every morn
ing, and both firmly believe they have
the best of reasons for the faith that i.i
in them. Home housekeepers find it a
saving of time and trouble to keep
their dining room tables set all tha
time, others prefer to put all the china
and silver in their proper places after
each meal ami get them out again
just before the next, and neither
would willingly forego her way
for that of the other. Some particular
housekeepers iron every article in th
clothes basket unfolded to its fullest
extent; others are satisfied with a
slight touch of the hot iron or even
none at all upon many articles, pre
ferring to use their strength for other
purposes. Neither would on any ac
count accept the method of the other,
nor should they be obliged to do so.
Hut each should remember in these
ami all other similar instances that to
criticise and condemn another's way
simply because it is not our own is In
