But I've carried some lueer passengers in my time. I'll tell you about two who exercised a powerful influence over me, but A whethet forgood or evil you shall hear presently. It was in the fall of 1872, just iold when on the eve of sailing, that an gentleman stepped on board and hurriedly approached me. Ho was |'a tall, spare man, with iron gray •hair and had a slight stoop at the shoulders. "Good day, captain," said he. "I only heard this morning that you were sailing for England, and I has tened down to ascertain if you could find accommodation for myself and daughter at so short notice." "Certainly," I replied in my hearty way. "I shall be only too pleased to take you. As it happens, there are only three passengers booked this trip, and they are sec ond f%ss, so you can have the sa lonn retty much to yourselves." \anked.me effusively and dis ed into the saloon. I marvel •lis precipitanoy and wondered 3 the daughter was to come for she was not visible any- instructions to the appren have their luggage convey uu joard, and myself superin ended the stowing away of their runks iii the two best appointed abins in the ship. While so en aged I heard alight footfall behind »e, and, turning round, I beheld be fairest vision of loveliness that ver brightened my saloon. "My daughter—Captain Harnott," lid Mr. Brandon, introducing us. was so taken aback by her ex ling beauty that I awkwardly :ched my cap, and, with the wind an taken out of my sails, stam red: Glad to.see you, miss." he placed her soft, little white din my big, sun browned paw, looking me squarely in the out of her laughing bluo eyes, sure we shall be good friends, sin, during the voyage." spoke with a charming colo accent, and from that moment is her most devoted, humble int, slave, anything you like. I head over ears in love with sight. You may smile but, ect, I was a comparatively man then. ving them to arrange their to their own satisfaction, I xl the companion steps and deck. It certainly occupied considerable time, for nei her nor daughter appeared until the ship was well out "Heads" and the tug had •eturued to port. That voyage I look back upon as he happiest and saddest I ever node. Miss Brandon was a splendid ailor. In fair weather or foul she'd 9 on deck, delighting me with the miration she expressed for my ndaome three masted clipper and childlike naivete of her ques ts. I used to pace the quarter in the morning, impatient for first appearance. On the dullest rtiest day it was like, a ray of hine suddenly bursting forth a lowering sky to see her rge from the companion hatch, tag as fresh as a daisy and a sand times more lovely. course it was only natural that mates should fall in love with also, but she treated them with ked indifference if not absolute aess. Her smiles were all re ed for me, and she lavished upon me in no niggardly man­ ure was a piano in the saloon, ften le long evenings she play for my sole de- I would sit on a set id gage rapturously he best Cook Stove or A Hansen have them into her pretty face. The song I liked best was "Tom Bowling,"and she infused such an amount of pa thos into her expression that the tears would sometimes trickle down my weather beaten cheeks as she sang. Ah, those were happy days! It was heaven while it lasted. I have scarcely mentioned her fa ther yet. The fact is I was so en grossed with his beautiful daughter that I didn't pay so muoh attention to him as perhaps I ought. At the best he was a saturnine, unsociable sort of person, who seemed to pre fer his own company to other peo ple's. When not in his own ciabin, where he spent most of his time, he was walking with his hands clasped behind him, apparently deep in thought, in the waist of the ship. Sometimes, when standing idly at the break of the poojj, I have caught myself wondering if he had ever committed a crime the remem brance of which was weighing heav ily on his consciece. I was destined soon to learn more about him. One evening, when about nine weeks out, I was sitting in the chart house alone with my idol. The sec ond mate was stepping the planks outside, old Jobson was at the wheel away behind us, and the watch on deck were lounging about forward. Some dayB previous to this I had had the temerity to confess my love for her and asked her to be my wife. She had made me inexpressibly hap py by promising, subject to my ob taining her father's consent. This, after some demur, he had granted, and that night the future appeared very bright for me. We had been sitting silent for Bome time, too happy for words, gazing on the setting sun as it dis appeared into a glowing mass of golden rimmed clouds on the hori zon, when, to my infinite amaze ment, she suddenly burst into tears. "Darling, what is the matter?" I exclaimed in an agony of apprehen sion. "Oh, Alfred, I have just heard such a dreadful story from my fa ther. I shall never be happy again. We can never be married now." "Never be married 1" I ejaculated, aghaBt. "Why!" "Because my father is a—a crimi nal. Oh, I feel so miserable I think I shall throw myself overboard." "Alice, for heaven's sake don't talk like that, or you'll drive me mad. What has he done!" "Something dreadful. Oh, don't speak to me any more." And she sobbed violently. At that moment I was so mad I felt half inclined to go down and tear the old scarecrow out of his berth by the scruff of the neck and demand what the deuce he had done to cause my darling such poignant grief. But I didn't. Instead I drew her to my side and kissed her tears away. "Toll me all about it," said I soothingly. "Well, my father, as you are aware, was an agent in one of the banks in Arlington, Victoria, and it seems he embezzled large sums of money belonging to the bank to speculate with. Of course he meant to replace it bofore the audit, when the deficit would have been discov ered. But he lost it all, and that is why he fled tho country." "Is that allt" said I, with a sigh of relief. "It's bad enough certain ly, but I fail to see that in itself it forms a sufficient barrier to our union." "But that is not the worst. My father is convinced that the police may have traced him to Melbourne and to this ship. He declares he will be arrested on landing." ''Nothing more likely,'' I thought But I remarked casually, "Has he any plan to suggest?" "Yes, oh, yes, if you will only as sist him. But it seems too horrible to contemplate. He says it is his on ly chance of escape." "What is it then?" "That he shoulddieand be buried at sea," she responded, with a per ceptible shiver. "I don't understand." "He proposes to feign death. Then, after he has been sewed up for burial, we must find the means to liberate him and substitute some thing else.'' The daring audacity of the pro posal fairly took my breath away. If discovered, the consequences to mo in aiding and abetting a felon to escape would be disastrous. I re solved to have nothing to do with such a criminal proceeding, but a look of entreaty from those tearful eyes made me falter in my resolu tion. "For my sake I" she murmured pleadingly, placing her fair, white hand on my arm. Her touch thrilled me. I hesitated no longer, but gave an unwilling consent. Ah, what folly will not a man commit when in love I Next day it was reported that Brandon was seriously indisposed. I took out the medicine chest as in duty bound and ordered the oabin steward to attend him. Three days later Mr. Brandon was reported dead. When I was informed of this, I entered his cabin. He was lying in You can get 8 pounds of Nails, 8 penny and up of Williams & Son, at West Town for 25o. ..f0^!j5pp^^,.pj,,. the under berth, pale and motion less as death. I felt the body. It was cold and rigid. If this were not death, he simulated it to perfection. I sent for the sailmaker, who sew ed the body up in my presence. When his task was completed, I dis missed him, and, securing the cabin door inside, with a sharp knife rip ped open the stitches. ,My hand shook painfully. What if he were really dead? I confess to experiencing a singu lar feeling of relief when the man opened his eyes, and the resuscitated Brandon sat up. I administered some brandy, whioh helped to revive him. He quickly and noiselessly dressed himself. Then he produced from an American trunk a dummy figure which he had previously prepared and weighted and inclosed it in the shroud. This he sewed iip with his own hands. Not a word was spoken by either of us. When all was com pleted, I stepped out to reconnoiter. Seeing the coast was clear, I signal ed him, and he crept swiftly across the passage into his daughter's cab in, where he concealed himself. In the first dog watch of the same afternoon the bell commenced to toll its solemn knell for the funeral of Anthony Brandon. Officers and men and passengers stood round me with heads uncovered as I read from the Book of Common Prayer the beautiful and impressive burial serv ice. God forgive me, it was an aw­ I I it it A a I heard it commented that I was much affected during the service. Heaven knows I was, but 'twas with guilt and fear. After the funeral Brandon return ed to his own cabin, which was kept constantly locked, and the key of which I retained in my own posses sion. With my connivance Alice smuggled food to him from day to day. About two weeks afterward, while proceeding up the channel under all sail, we were htiled by a tug. Antici pating danger, I slipped down the companionway and conveyed Bran don to my own cabin for conceal ment. When I went on deck again, I was just in time to see a stout well groomed party clambering over the vessel's side. Without any pre liminaries he brusquely demanded: "Got a passenger of the name of Brandon on board?" "I had, stranger I had." He gazed at me inquiringly. "Come below, sir," said I. As we descended he explained that he was a detective sent in pursuit of Brandon, who had absconded from Australia with a considerable sum of money and valuable nego tiable securities. When he had pro duced his warrant, I ordered the mate to fetch the logbook. Under date the 15th January he read this entry: "Buried at sea in latitude 36 de grees 49 minutes N., long. 33 de grees 16 minutes W. Anthony Bran don, cabin passenger. Cause of death unknown." He muttered something under his breath which was quite unintelligi ble to me. Then he demanded to see Brandon's effectB. I led the way in to his cabin. He ransacked every trunk and portmanteau, but not a vestige of paper or anything of val ue did he discover. The expression on his fare when he left the ship some hours later wae not ^particu larly pleasant. When we arrived in the docks at London, I smuggled Mr. Brandon ashore in one of his daughter's trunks, after they had been search ed by the customs officer. No one in the ship ever suspected the truth. Their secret remained alone with, me. It was arranged that Alice and I should be married quietly. before setting out on my nexf voyage, and our honeymoon was to be-- spout on the bosom of' the' deep.. When we parted that night, she promised to communicate with me when her fa ther had secured somo quiet retreat in the country. She kept her prom ise. Here is the letter. I have pre served it all these years. It has nei ther superscription nor signature: "Dear Old Captain—Manyvipany thanks for all your kindnesses. My husband and I—for Mr. Brandon is my husband, though it was not known in Arlington—will never for get them. Pray forgive the deceit we found it expedient to practice on you in order to curry out our plans. We are in fairly affluent circum stances, for my husband did not lose the money in speculation, as I thought it necessary to tell you. Dear captain, I know I can rely up on you, for your own sake, not to inform the authorities about my husband. As he died at sea we ex pect to live securely, unmolested by the bank officials or the police. Goodby forever." And that was the end of my ro mance. No, I never heard anything more about them. Whether they lived to enjoy their ill gotten gains or whether they didn't I cannot tell. But this I do know, she was the first woman that ever fooled me, and, by heaven, she Y^asthe last! I nev er gave another the chanoe.—Lon don Tit-Bite. Horsks Wahtjud—Weight ^f!v ,x,^«.:.Kv?\ Hamlin Department. Tom Gill says he will be through with his assessing this week.

Nearly all the goods and clothing in the lower story were destroyed, but everything upstairs—apartments of John Foster and family—was destroyed.
