By Oik) SALTY
On the ship Mary Ann, an East In
diaman, we had a very Inquisitive piu
senger who would swallow the tough
est story, and believe it as readily as
gospel truth. I wis at the wheel m«
day as: the vessel was approaching fli
mon's bay, near the Cape of Good
Hope, when the" inquisitive gentleniiln
spoke to me p^ three or four sharks
which' had been following the s&lp
for 48 hbulrs. The crew had noticed
thO purstdt of those monster^ of »e
deep', and among the tars it had be£n
a theme' of general ^discussion siQice
the moment Of their appearance in our
wake. 1^0 passenger asked meilf
there vrere tuiy sharks in Simon's b|y.
"No, not now," I answered "there
have been very!
few since the sailors
began Shooting them for their hides
and tallow." I
"Ah! then there used to be lots'-of
them some time ago?" he asked.
"I don't want to talk about thetn,
stranger," I answered, "because you
might think I was lying and that 1B
something Truthful George never does.
I can cheat at cards, drink rum, and
play mischievous tricks, but I can't
lie."
This remark put a keen edge on the
passenger's curiosity, and again he
asked if sharks were evei numerous
In the bay.
."I am almost afraid to tell you the
exact truth," I said, "but from the
forecastle-deck I once counted 1,89?
sharks, and then I missed a lot more
that were in sight"
"I don't doubt it," remarked the pas
senger.
"And strange as it may appear, I
have counted 187,430 sharks on one
sand-bar. It sounds big to tell, but
I assure you it is true. I am certain
because we had a government sur
veyor on board, iand I called them off
while he checked them. Fact, I assure
you! I hope you don't think I am
lying?"
:."Oh, no not at all. I might have
doubted the assertion until you men
tioned the surveyor but with.him as
•orroboratlye proof I must believe."
"Ah, I am glad of that" I continued
"some fellows might think I was
stretching the truth. This bay used to
be a paradise for shark*. I have seen
them so thick that I have often walked
half a mile .from the ship's side to
shore pn their fins."
*$a tfrat so?" 'said the inquisitive
gentleman.
*Alftue as prekching. As I stepped
"6n the' poor brutes I could not but
feel sorry, for them. They woittd cry
out'Uke lambs, Subbing their tails up
and down my back. Our, cable-chain
gave way one day, and the best bower
anchor .fell, .'on a' lot of Bharks, killing
was 'a yerf coinpassioinatci mikii, a!nd he
ordered ihe tb 'throw overboard 17
bottles of liniment and 17 healing
piasters."
"Now. iiat was "very. kind of the
saptain," said the passenger approv
ingly
"Ah, our captain always was a good
mian. 1 don't expect to ever see his
equal. From that time the sharks got
to recognize the Mary Ann, and to
know Capt Block. They used to be
on the lookout for her, and when they
saw: her entering the bay they would
swim UP to her, rub their tails against
the ship's side, and purr like cats,
looking up toward, the deck, and nod
ding their heads and winking their
eyes at us."
"They would,-eh?" and the passen
ger opened his eyes in wonder.
"Fact, I assure you! One day, dur
ing a dead calm, the mate ordered me
to get the shark-hook and 60 fathoms
of chain. He put a 12-pound chunk
of pork on the hook, and threw it over
board. The sharks understood what
we wanted -they seized the chain and
towed the ship 82% miles up the bay,
'Completing the distance In Just two
hours, nineteen minutes and fourteen
.sad. (^quarter seconds. It seems an
extravagant story but I neve? told a
Ue, and hever shall. I wouldn't tell
a: fib for all the money you could put

THE HANGING
OF PAT DOOLAN
By MARTHA M'GUIRE.
Copyright. 1910, by American Press
Association.
Pat Doolan was the bravest, hand
somest, quickest witted, most reckless
harebrained scamp In Ireland. Every
body knew Pat and every one who
knew him loved him. He was always
getting Into trouble, and his facility
for doing so was equaled by his tal
ents for getting out again. His. hair
was red and curly, his complexion soft
and peachy as that of a girl, but he
was strong and wiry and not afraid of
the devil himself.
Pat was an Irishman and a patriot,
from the crown of his head to the sole,
of his foot He was always getting in
the way of the British officials, who
willy nilly were obliged to stumble
over him, and that meant that he was
constantly being brought up before a
magistrate for some breach of the
law. But the magistrates and the
bailiffs all loved him so well that they
were always either letting him off
openly or conniving at his escape from
justice. The trouble is that Pat's esca
pades were always connected with
some movement against British rule,
and In this he had a large proportion
of the people with him.
But when the rebellion of 17— came
on and failed Pat who had given the
government more trouble than any
other ten rebels, was tried, found
guilty of treason and sentenced to be
hanged. There was great lamentation
through the country at Pat's fate, and
In those parts where he was personally
known had the people not just failed
at one rebellion they would have start
ed another to save him.
Pat continued to crack his jokes, eat
all that was given him—good things
came for him in basketfuls to the jail
—and drank the health of his jailers
when a bottle was smuggled in with
the rest. As the day approached for
his execution knots of his friends gath
ered and debated different methods of
saving him Some talked of a rescue,
but rescues are seldom successful, es
pecially when those appointed to carry
out a sentence are prepared, to resist
the rescuers. No one could learn
whether any of the plans proposed
would be undertaken. There were
those who looked knowing and those
who were full of fight and those
whose close tongues—an unusual thing
for an Irishman—gave the Impression
that they were "still waters running
deep." Bnt the day for the execution
came round, and there was no evi
dence of any well defined plan to "save
Pat's life.
Though as many of Pat's friends as
at the hanging, there were plenty of
.officials within call to prevent the pos
sibility of interference With .the Carry
ing out of the sentence. Indeed, there
were not more than half a dozen of
those who loved Pat gathered about
the scaffold, and they were there with
a cart to remove the body after it had
been taken down.
Pat ascended the scaffold with a
jaunty step. Eileen McKenna, his
sweetheart at the time, had sent him
a tremendous flower, which he wore
in his buttonhole his hair had been
carefully attended to, though no brnsh
could get the kinks out of it and he
wore a beautiful smile. He approach
ed the rope, examined It tested it to
discern whether it would hold, then
tried to get the loop over his head.
"I can't do It." he said, "and if 1
could I wouldn't hang with any con
venience, for the rope is too short 1
demand my rigbts to be hanged safely,
and there's no safety in that gallows
at all. at all."

Taking a cndoy pipe and some to
bacco from his pocket he rubbed the
latter between the palms of his hands,
filled his pipe, scratched a match on
his leg and began to sinoke.
The sheriff called some one to im
prove the gallows, and Pat smoked
and pictured to him in words what an
Inhuman calling was bis. "1 forgive
ye for what you're goin' to do to
me," said Pat. "but d'ye think ye'll
be forgiven by our patron saint? 1
have an idee that the hottest part of
purgatory Is kept for those who make
a livin* by stretchin' necks and chop
pin' .off heads. As for me. don'-t men
tion It I wouldn't grudge you the pay
ye'll git for makln" me a corpse for a
hunder years of life."
The sheriff was much affected by
this address and said he'd rather Pat
would hang him than be bang Pat
"How long must I be hangln'?' ask
ed Pat
"The law says an hour."
"Well. thin, get at it Ifa an hour
before supper, I'll be too early for it
in this world, and I don't want to be
too late for it In the other."
As the rope was adjusted Pat's
friends crowded up on to the scaffold
to bid him goodby. When he was
swung off he fell against one of them
—purposely in the way—which some
what broke the fall. When It was over
the sheriff turned his back, and while
doing so Pat's friends somewhat re
lieved the strain on bis neck by hold
ing him up by the waistband. But
this tbey were only enabled to do
when the sheriff was not looking.
At the end of an hour timed by set
back watches the body was let down,
put In a coffin and run over a rongb
road in a cart. This was intended to
bring Pat to his senses. And It did.
He sat up in his coffin and cried at the
top of his voice:
"Hurrah for ould Ireland!"
That night Pat's wake occurred, with
Pat for chief mourner.
