Too soon Hiinll tho clou Is cover sunshiny

The voice of the minstrel bo hushed to a

Too soon shall tho day and tho season decline*
And clustering fruits shall bo molted to

The petals shall fall, and tho songsters depart,
Tho foliage fade llko tho youth of tho heart ,
For swift runs tho current of pitiless time.
And alwwys tho swlftoc when llfo's In Its

QVISTGARI), THE BIG DANE.
t . tjy n. santford smith.
. two weeks the
iT* "Plunging Petrel,**
\f '' ft big, three-masted
Ljr schooner, had plow
/I . cd its way throngli
ftf,"> placid Waters ol
sZrAWlv^3'' tlio Pacific with a I
v sameness that was
exasperating. Since
leaving port noth\
- ing?not ovou a
threatened storm or
n "ively gftlc?had broken tho monoto.yy.
The ship was bound for Rio, Brazil,
\vitk a cargo af wheat, and I was her
only passenger ? seeking health in
this manner according to my physician's
urgent request, blio was commanded
by a sturdy old uavigator,
Captain Collins, a man who on lirst
acquantaucc might appear to be cold,
distant and reserved, but who proved,
in my ease, at least, to bo exactly ho
opposite, for I soon foirud "him a genial,
hearty good fellow. Ho. was
strict with his-men, lu^t not tyrannical.
and he was a good sjiofcy-joiler.
But monotony was not to last us all
v through the voyage. There was soou
u singular and. sinister change.. , , ;
One day, about noon, at the begin:
uing of the third week, a sailor named
?-.,w : < -- -i-o-J
..... ...... | .1 111 ni'un I'" slllltlllg
n messmate i0> a inarlinspiko ami
breaking his arm. The punishment
was undoubtedly deserved, but there"
were angry muttcfings ami luorq thai*
one sullen face anions tin* crow iu coii?s
pequeuce; for bates, whose only fault
was an uncontrollable temper, was a
general favorite. but when the unfortunate
man wras found dead tin
next morning, tilings began to look
black for the ollicers.
There was no sign of wound or struggle
upon the body of the dead man,
but the atmosphere of the forecastle
where lie luul been confined was odorous
with the fumes of chloroform. 1
called tho captain's attention to this,
but ho thought 1 must l>o mistaken
nnd would not beeoiivineed, even when
the boatswain and one of the mates
argued on my side.. , He declared that
there was none of the drug on board
and never had been. And so it happened
tliat poor Hates was buried in
the deep so a at the very hour at which
he was to have been lihciwtcd.
At tight bells the following night,
when the first mate went on deck
to relieve his fellow-ofliccr,
the latter had disappeared and i
could not bo found. 1 liaimeiied to I
be leaning against the mizzeuumst,
smoking, when tlie alarm was given,
ami con hi have sworn that I hail been
smelling chloroform for half an hour,
Although I iliil not call the fact to
mind until the dreadful cry of "Man
\ overboard !" was sounded and all hand?
piped on deck. A boat containing the
lirst mate and tour men was lowered
at once, the ship was brought about,
and two hours were spent in fruitless
search. In the mean time every accessible
nook in the ship, which was
tacking back and forth in the locality,
was inspected with iiko results. At
last tin* searching party was taken on
board, and the ship resumed its
ourse.
The captain now took turns at the
watch with the mate, and everythiug
rail smoothly tdl the followiug night,
, or rather .the next morning?four
bells of the first watch. Then, when
lie turned out to relieve the iiialej that
ollicer could not bo found. The same
efforts were made t > find the missing
BP man,'and with the same result lis on
Y tin- pr? vious night, ami the captain
was nearly frantic lie was not only
?h cplv grieved at the death of his two
bilicers, l>wt greatly: .shocked ami mystified
at the strange manner of their
disappearance. On both occasionsthe
water, aside from a heavy swell, was
"comparatively smooth, the wind only
brisk enough to till the sails, and the
stars were shining. This, together
\ with the fact that both tlie mates Were
miuwu iu in* c.\|jrri r?\> ihiiii< m> iiiai
tliey should,"Snider ordinary eiroumhtanees,
have l?erh nolo to keep nllo.it
for hour?, deepened the mystery.
The captain would not adinit that the
presence of chloroform, if it existed
at nil, had anything to do with tin
mystery. '
On the afternoon following tin
second disnpponmiico t he captain
called rno into his eaoin, shut and
J locked the door, itlidheekone I me to a
chair at a small talile. I saw nothing
remarkiilde about this, hcliuviii.; that
ho unlv wished to talk over his
(roubles; but when he took a seat opJ'OSltC
uit*v 1 noted viiat his face was
deadly ]>ale and that his lips wero
tightly compressed.
"My two officers have been murdered,
Mr. Viucent," ho fairly gasped.
"Murdered?" I exclaimed. "I have
suspected foul play from the first.
Have you any evidence?"
"The best in the world. You have
noticed the big Dane, Qvistgard?"
"That mild-looking fellow with the
red beard?"
"Yes."
"Why, certainly; but you don't
suspect him, I hope."
"Of course not. On iho contrary,
there is a mutiny on foot, and he?but
bore is a note ho Hlipped into my hand
n moment ago. Head it for yourself.'
Unless you and I and this faithful fellow
ran outfight or outwit'fifteen hellhounds,
wo are dooraod."
With a face that must have been as
white as the ono before rue, and ahuhd
that was auythiug but steady, I picked
up a sheet of paper which the captain
had thrown ou the table and read the
following;
'Captain?I havo just discovered a horrible
plot. All the creW, except myself, have
mutinied. Tho mates wore knocked on the
bond an i thrown ov?rboar?l? You will share
the same fair when you come on deck to relieve
the watch to-night, unless you hoed
this warning. Meet the ten minutes boforo
tlioe'o-juol the second dog-watch, just aft
the main hatchway, and I will tell you everything.
In the mean time do not speak to mo
or send for me, for wo are closely watched.
I am suppose I to side with the crew. Too
least mistake would l?o fatal. Don't toll tho
passenger. U may be all right, but I doubt
it. For Oo l's sake, captain, don't go near
tho rail."
"Don't tell tho passenger," I muttered
as I looked at tho captain, not
only horror-stricken at the contents of
tho note, but surprised and hurt at tho
uncomplimentary reference to myself.
But tho captain, who must havo divined
my thoughts, relieved my mind
011 this point by saving:
"That's all right, my dear Vincent.
The follow is only a trillo over-cautious.
Don't mind him. I would
trust you with tho ship, and my lifo
too, for that matter. Yon. see I have
shown my contideuce by allowing you
to read the note. Now, I want your
advice. Your assistance I shall count
011 without askiug, wlieu the time
comes."
"Thank you, captain," I answorod.
"To start with, I should certaiuly not
go 011 deck till it is time to meet the
Dane, if 1 wore you."
my companion imn now rogaineu
his composure to u certain extent, and
snt for a moment drumming the table
with liis lingers.
'"Who litis tho watch now?" 1 continued
presently.
"Uutton, tlie tall seaman with the
red scar on the hack of his hand," was
the answer, "ile is acting as first
mate, and 1 had decided to give Jones,
the little Welshman, the position of
sccoud to-morrow. Until are fairly
goo I navigators, ami, by all the gods,
1 can't understand it ! I could have
sworn that these two men were as true
as the dead mates ever were, until I
got this w ruing from (^vistgard. Hut
lie is right, my hov, lie is right. All
this conies from that unfortunate
Dates ulhiir. I wonder who is the
loader? If lie could ho shot or placotl
in irons, it might quell the others.
Have you a pistol ?"
"A small pocket alTair," Ianswered.
"I have two large ones ami a repeating
rille in my chest," continued the
captuiu. "How would it do to batten
down the luitcliwuy of the forecastle
"when part of the dogs are below at
1 supper and pump lead into the rest of
them? 1 don't believe tliey are armed,
unless they have a few knives. We
could then make for the nearest port."
"Hotter wait till you see the D me,"
T replied. "He may he ablo to give
Von tilt: liaiile of tile lender "
i'\?r an lioitr or more wo continuo<l
to plan, but without being -able to doeiilo
on anything iletinite. At Inst it
was agreed that I should go on deck
ami sco what could lie learned there.
In haif-un-hour 1 returned with anything
but favorable news. The men
were talking guardedly in groups, ami
when 1 passed near them they quickly
dispersed. The big Dane was leaning
over the rail near the log, silent, and
apparently watching with absorbed attention
the receding, foam-capped
waves in the ship's wake.
]>efore sundown, all our weapons
had been oiled, examined, and loaded,
tin? captain and myself secreting tlio
revolvers about our persons, and leaving
the rillo for the Dane.
The sky had clouded over late iu
the afternoon, and night, gloomy and
foreboding, settled down on tho
schooner.
"The very elements seem to bo in
sympathy with this cursed business,"
said the captain, when it began to
mow so uura in me cnoiu tuai wo
could hardly nuiko out each other's
faces, "ami I feci as if tho jig was
aliout up with inc."
As soon as tho last streak of day
had disappeared, the captain, revolver
in hand, mounted tho companion-ladder
and stole softly on deck. I followed
him part way, but stoppod, according
to his directions, and stood
with inv head and shoulder abovo tho
companion-way, ready, in case of emergency,
to lend asistance that might
lie in my power.
I never looked into a blacker night.
The air was soft and mild, and fitful
gusts of wind dashed a fow cooling
rain-drops against mv face, ns I hold
on to my revolver and triod to keep
the receding form of tho captain in
view, lint ho disappeared almost instantly,
and, owing to tho wliistlo of
the wind in the rigging, the groaning
of the masts and tho creaking of tho
yard-arms, I could not hear his footsteps
after ho had gone half a dozen
paces. Ho carried no lantern, but
unvoral livlitu olimmarAil turn ?mi
aft, dancing and shifting unsteadily
about, 11k?* veritable will-o'-tho-wisps.
Noiir, however, wore near tho main
hatchway, the place of meeting.
Anxiously I waited five, ten, fifteen
minutes, a- nearly as I could reckon
time, but neither sight nor sound
brought intelligence of tho captain.
At last I could bear tho suspense no
longer, and 1 began to walk slowly
along toward tho bow. When I
thought I had reached tho location of
the hatchway, and was on tho point of
coming to a halt, 1 struck my foot
against something and fell--the
planks of the deck seeming to open
and engulf inc.
While still ileseendingthrongh space
I realized what had happened ?tho
unveiiway had boon oponod And 1 had
fallen into the hold. A second later I
found myself lying between two bags
of wheat, more frightoued than hurt
and with the fumes of chloroform almost
suftioating me. Before trying to
rise Idiscovered- that I was not in
t6tal darkness, and that a dim light
came from somotirhoro. but not from '
above* I was sure. Prosontly a muffled
groan reached mo from tho direo- 3
tion of the stern, and on looking ovor
my shoulder I Raw the stooping form j
?r ? k. r ..
ui ? m?u uuiiiuuii UJ IHU IJIJH ui it J
lantern in front of him, about twenty
feet away.
I gained my foot with februo difficulty
and WAR About .to step forward,
when the ship gave a lurch and I was
thrown lengthwise against tho hull.
Before I could stand up again, the
bent form assumed an Upright posture
and I recognised the big Dane. Muttering
incoherently, he picked up the
lantern and started toward the place
where I had first fallen, ofT to my left.
Whether it was fear, tho shock
causod by striking tho hull, or tho effects
of tho ohloroform that kopt mo
from trying to got up, I am not prepared
to say, but I did not attempt to
movo hand or foot.
As the light drew near, I discovered
rope dangling from the deck. When
tho Dane drew near this rope, ho doposited
his lantern besido him, rubbed
his big hard hands together with a
ioud, rasping noise, and laughed a
low, fiendish sort of chuokle, whioh
fairly chilled my blood. A moment
later his merriment subsided, and taking
hold of the ropo with ono hand,
ho picked up tho lantern with the
other. I expoctod to soo him run his
arm through tho handlo of tho lau- 1
tern and go, hand over hand, through v
the hatchway, but ho was in 110 hurry 0
and began to talk in a harsh under- 8
tone.
"So far so good, King QviHtgard," 0
ho said. "A million pounds of dia- v
monds sowed up in Racks of silk, and I
all my own. Oh, what a royal prcs- l
eut for my ebony princess. Fifteen
days more and I shall reign su- n
promo. Tho two mates and 4
tho captain aro now my royal y
subjects, and to-morrow night the 0
passenger will join them. Then comes
iiio hearties, Hutton and tho littlo r]
Welshman, and so on down tho list. ^
Ha, ha, ha, lia!"
Never until that awful moment had
I heard tho blood-curdling laugh of a
maniac, but I recognized it as quickly
as if I had passed all my days inside ^
tho walls of a madhouse. Before I ^
kuew it, my strength, or courage, or ^
both, suddenly returned, and I arose
cautiously to niy foot, discovering at
the same tinio tho revolver which had v
fallen from my hand when I stumbled *
on tne uecK. it was lying minos? hi
tlio feet of tho Dane. Advancing l
slowly, I stooped and was about to
pick np tlio weapon; but before I 1:
could get hold of it the ship lurched I
again, I collided with the madman, n
and wo both went down together. I
The revolver escaped me, the light
in the lanteru was extinguished, and t
thoie was a scream, a piercing cry of >
fright and anguish, suoli as only a tcrj >
ror-stricken madman can utter. And Ij
then, with that awful shriek ringing in
1113- cars and the strong fingers of tho r
demented Dane clutching my throat, I |,
became insensible. C
When coneiousnoss returned I was
lying in my berth; it was daylight, v
and Hutton was standing beside
me. As soon as I was able
to talk, ho told me that just after ^
dark, on tho previous evening, a hor- ^
rilde cry was heard coming from tho j
direction of tlio main hatchway, and ^
that when tho littlo Welshman and
several other sailors rushed to tlio
spot, tho raving Dane was seen to ^
climb up a rope from tho hold. As ^
a
0011 as I10 gained the deck, I10 ran t
screaming to tho rail and threw him- /
self into the sea. 1 was fouud, moro
dead ?>?*n alive, and taken to my j
cabin, noon after the captain and tho (]
two mates were discovered, gagged r
and bound near the spot whero I bad t

One night in tho glearu of tho
headlight he saw n woman. He had
only time to see her hands raised aud
to hear her cry, aud before ho could
put his hand upou tho lever ho felt a
jerk under the wheels and knew that
all was over. Since that night ho has
never been on an engine. For months
he did not sloop, and later became
practically insane, but only ou the

woman his engine killed. Now he
