Jimmy’s Wife
By T. JENKINS BAINS
(Author oI ‘‘Wind Jammer*. * Cruise et
the Petrel." Etc )
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
We were about 50 miles south of 1
Cape Horn, hove-to in a high, rolliug, j
northwest sea which made the main .
deck uninhabitable.
In the dog-wat< h the carpenter to »k
mercy on Gantliue and myself and al
lowed us to share his room in the for
ward house for an after-supper smoke.
We had started forward when the man
on lookout hailed. Through the gloom
of the Hying drift and twilight a
shadow bore down upon the ship,
grey-white above black. Then there
suddenly loomed out the shape of a
great ship tearing along under t’gal
lant sails dead before the gale.
Then in an instant she was gone.
The drift had closed upon -her as she
swept astern before anyone could read
ber name. She had vanished as quick
ly as she had appeared, passing on in
to the dismal sea behind us like a
salt-streaked mystery.
We stood gazing at the whirling
ift in the gloom astern for some
minutes, and then we follow’ed Chip"
Into his room. Gantllne could not re
call the vessel by her shape or rig and
asked the carpenter about ker.
"Do 1 know her?" he hissed fierce
ly- "Would I he apt to forget her?" 1
And he thrust out an arm, pulling up
bis sleeve until a long livid scar
showed clear to his elbow, "it isn't |

Jimmy had gone in the navy, be
cause he couldn't live ashore. He’d
married and was sorry for it—made a
mistake. But he’d never said any
thing to me about ills wife or family,
and I never asked. Nobody asks ques
tions of anybody aboard men-o’-war.
When we dropped down the bay a
tug came alongside and Cap’n Smith
went to the rail to greet a little hatch
et fared fellow who jumped aboard.
Jie was with a woman.
"Sammy Smith an’ niece," said an
old shellback standing on the forecas
tle head, "I thought so.”
"What’s the matter?" we asked.
"Matter! Don't you know that fel
low? That’s Morrell, the worst ihing

Man. If ye can get ashore, swim fer It

Morrell didn’t ship men to have them

for some of it but even that tiger

the limit—and we were inm-o’-war’s

"One night there was a row aft and
th^re were Mica of a woman. Jimmy
heard them and started out on deck
wlm bis sheath knife, t tit we held j
him. and four of ns got the marks of
the knife to remember how we saved '
him.
After that Jimmy was quiet and
ngly. lie never spoke »r, anyone
. There were no more 'men* in the crew. |
only square-head* and Dutchmen, and
they never go aft.
"I wouldn't consent to g > alone i
when Jimmy gave me a look that to d '
his game. Soon I noticed he wouldn’t j
turn In at nigh? and then ! knew |f

“I found him standing clos° under [

“Then Jimmy answered her sk>wiy

surf on the shore. Man. it was like
the great sea rolling over an outlyint
reef, bursting, gathering ag in a ;e

to the end. When he stopped she wax
choking, gasping for breath. Man, u
seemed like her hrart would break. 1
couldn't help listening, hearing her
pay for what she’d clone. But Jimmy
never blamed her. no, not he.
“Jimmy stood there waiting for hie
answer.
" ‘Go—go! Go anil forget.’ She w.»s

looked hard into the gloom. She had

“The next day it came on heavy
from ihi1 northwest. Jimmy was sent
aloft to put an extra gasket around
the bunt of the cro’ jack where it had
been bloxvu out by the gale. Some
thing went wrong with the foot-rope.
Lacked like a clear case of cutting,
for it was all right when we furled the
sail a foxv hours before.
“Jimmy fell with the dull wallop
that generally means death, and he
landed right across the cabin skylight.
It was a long fall and he was still.
Morrell was watching his ship and
saw ttie fall, lie started for Jimmy
Just then the woman below rushed on
deck and flung herself upon the poor

She was upon him bofc *e he knew
it, striking him a blow that sent him
reeling. Then he went taa 1 and had
his pistol out filing and cursing like a

Here Chips stopped awhile and cut
some fresh plug for his pine.
“Before the morning watch I had

ship staggering off to the southward
with her lower topsails streaming in
ribbons from her Jackstays. As t ie

Chips waited for a few’ minutes and
puffed hard at bis pi,je. Then be went
on in a low voice I could hardly heir:
"We buried Jimmy and his wife the
next day. Old Jacois sewed them up
together and weighted them All

there wasn't any such thing as a B ble

There was a long silence. Gantline
stood up and then sat down again He
seemed to want to ask a question, b it
would not. Chips watched him.
"Yes." he went on, "we got five

CLOSE STUDY OF VOLCANO
Peril Oi eater Than That Encoun
tered by the Soldier Is Con
fronted.
In itlcking so loug to his observa
tory close to the summit of Vesuvius,
Prof. Matteucci gives a reniurkablu
proof of—what? He voluntardy re
mains in peril probably great* r than
is encountered by the soldier who
leads a forlorn hope, and certainly
greater than that of participation in
any ordinary battle, says the New
York T*mes. His dauger, too, takes
r. form from which even the most
courageous could lie excused from
shrinking, for at any^moment he may
be exposed to the direct action of the
most powerful of terrestrial forces,
and the very ground under his feet 1
may instantly crumble and drop him j
into a fiery abyss that is the reality of
theological imaginations. Is he risk- I
ing the martyrdom of science, or 1
merely that of the scientific curiosity?
In other words, is his course justified
by tLe prospect of gaining from close
inspection of tho volcano new and 1
valuable knowledge of the cataclysmic 1
action going on within it? Nothing
in the dispatches constantly tele
graphed by him to Naples very clear
ly indicates that lie Is seeing any
thing more than Is visible to those ob
serving the eruption from a greater
distance and in comparative safety,
while it Is certain that notch visible to
them is invisible to him. The pic
tore as a whole is concealed from thf
man in the midst of the whirling
ash* «, and he has announced that his
instruments for the measurement ol
seismic disturbances have been dis
placed by the constant convulsions to
which they have been subjected. And
yet Prof. Matteucri and his American
assistant have remained coolly, or at
least calmly, at their twists, and be
yond any question they have utilized
!n some way and to some degree op
portunlties that never came, before to
scientists as well equipped as they for
understanding aud recording the tro
mentions ev< nts of a great volcanic
eruption. It is from something more
than Idle, or even from scientific,
curiosity that they are staking thtlr
lives on the outcome of successive
minutes, any one of which may lie
their last. If they escape they will
have the material for a "paper’’ such
as has never appeared in the "trails
actions" i f any society, and he is ’pes
simistic indeed who does not hope
that what they learn by braving the
mountain's rage will prove to be worth
the frightful risk involved in getting it
AN INSTRUCTED PRISONER
So Thoroughly Drilled He Put It On
to the Lnwyei WhoCleuied
Him.
A New York lawyer onre had to de
/end a man named Marshall, chargor
with larceny, and against whom thert
was very strong evidence. Before th*
trial the lawyer went Jo his client
and told him thnt his only chance o'
escape was.in a pica of insanity, ani
he advised him to play the lnantic
and to answer nil questions put t<
him with the word '‘spoons.” The day
or the trial came on and Marshal
took 1,1k place in the dock, pale, hag
gnrd and wild-looking.
"Guilty or not guilty?” asked tin
clerk.
“Spoon*!” drawled the prisoner
with a blank stare.
"Come, plead 'guilty' or ‘not
guilty,’” repeated the clerk.
"Spoon*!” was the only reply.
“Prisoner, will you answer thr
question put to you, or do you wani
to be punished for contempt?” asked
the judge.
"Spoons!” bawled the prisoner, still
unmoved.
At this point the counsel for the
prisoner interfered and told the court
that his client was not in a condi
tion to be out on trial, as he was evl
dently not responsible for his actions
and It was an outrage on a free rltl
zen. «tc.
"Do you understand what Is said?'
asked the judge, addressing the pris
oner.
"HpoonK!” was Ills r^p>.r. in wild ae
rents.
It was evident that the man was
crazy and thr judge ordered him dls
charged. He was token In charge by
hlg friends who were with Mm and
left the miirt with them. His lawyer
followed th*m and congratulated him
on hie < scape, suggesting that it might
be a good idea to pay him his fee
His client .fared at him with blank
amazement, and moved away with the
simple remark: "Spoons!”

TONIC TREATMENT^
Weak Stomach and Sick Hoadach*

The symptoms of stomach trouble
i vniy. Home victims have a ravenous
appetite,others loathe the sight of food,
i Often thero is a feeling as «r weight ou
! the chest, a fall feeling in the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
ami lends tho sufferer to think he has
heart disease. Sick headache is a fre
quent and distressing symptom.
A weak stomach needs n digestive
tonic and that there hi no better tonio
for this purpose tlmn Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills is shown by Die statement of Mr.
A. O. Merrill, a mining man, of Ononis,
Calif., a veteran of liattaliou O, Third

" 1 lmd never boon well since I left
the army,” lie savs, '‘alwayshaving lmd
trouble with my stomach, which was
weak. I was run down and debilitated.
Could keep nothing on my stomach,
nndat times had sick headache so bad
that I did not euro whether I lived or
died. My stomach refused to retain
oven liquid food and I almost despaired
of getting well as I had tried no many
kinds Of inedieino wit boat relief. Then
I was bitten by a rattlesnake and that
