THE SPECTER SWIMMER. A Legend of the Sea That Still Appeals to Sailors. The sailor as a class still holds fast to the superstitions that have been his especial heritage throughout all ages. To him the sea is still peopled with phantoms. Men there are still who sail the sea believing in the power of the Swimmer, men who believe in the Wal rus of unholy fime and in the exist ence of the spe:cer bark Lucy to be seen at any time dodging In and out of the creeks and bays of the South Caro lina coast. This is the tale of the Swim mer: Near Cape Finisterre there lived a fisher maiden in days when the world asked fewer questions than now, and with her lived her fisher sweetheart. On their wedding night, runs the yarn, smugglers came down on their village, a thieving, drunken band. When they left, having done all the damage they could, the fisher maiden's sweetheart had disappeared. whether with them or through them was never known. Instead of p!ning uselessly, as would most women. she dressed herself in men's clothes and started t- find him, dead or alive. For years she wandered over the earth and ocean, and. though her dis guise was penetrated several times and she passed through a host of trou bles which vary with each telling, she succeeded in keeping up her hunt. Fi nally after escaping from an English prison the vessel she was on was lost at sea, and the simple Breton fisher men enshrined her in a legend which has her forever swimming the seas still in search of the man she loved and hailing each craft she nears. A sailor. be he Yankee or Portuguese, matter of fact in all things else or grossly superstitious. believes firmly that if you hear the hail of the Swim mer on a dark night at sea and an swer It not woe follows sw!ftly.-New York Herald.

One of the earls of Dudley, who was addicted to the practice of thinking aloud, found himself in a very awk ward predicament on a certain occa sion. He was to spend the evening at the house of a friend and ordered his carriage early, as he had a long drive back to his own home. When thel hou:- arrived the carriage was not r : that Lord Dudhey was conshiirably annoy ed by the, deaty. .oe of the gue-sts. who.se wvy h a rd lay past his lordship's house. politely offt-red him ia seat in his ca1riage. The gentleman was almost a stran:;er to Lord Dud ley, but the offer was accepted. The drive did not prove a very socia ble one- Lord Dudley took his seat andi immediately relapsed into silence, his thoughts apparently engrossed by some unpleasant subject. Presently he began to speak in a low but distinctly audible tone of voice, and his compan ion, to his astonishment, heard him say: "I'm very sorry I aiccep~ted his offer. I don't know the man. It was civil - certainly. but the worst Is I suppose I must ask him to dinner." Silence followed this bit of audible thinking- His lordship was unaware that he had betrayed his thoughts and was probably still meditating upon the same unpleasant subject when the voice of his companion broke the still ness. Apparently this stranger was attiet ed with the same malady from which *his lordship suffered, for he exactly Imitated Lord Dudley's tone as he said: "Perhaps he'll think I did it: to make his acquaintance. Why, I would have -d'one the same to any farme~r on his estate. I hope he won't ask mae to din ner, for I shan't accept his Invitation." Lord Dudley's abstraction was all gone. He lIstened to the others words, immediately comprehending the joke against himself, and frankly offered his hand to his companion, making many apologies for his involuntary rudeness. The stranger proved magnanimous, and from that night the two became fast friends. Endorsed By The County. -"The most popular remedy in Otsego County, and the best friend of my famn ily," writes Wmn.

Sold by', The Manning THE POOR CAT One Oc,.asion When the Animai Did Not Come Back. When the cat died the whole family went into mourning, figuratively if not literally. No common back door cat this. but one that must be buried with all honor. The question was how and where. Some one proposed cremation. but this was rejectet on the grouni that it sounded too much like lynching. It was finally proposed that the father, -.!o had to cross a ferry every day to his place of business. should drop it overboard, and as a burial at sea rath er appealed to the sentimental attitude of the family this idea was received favorably. The following morning the remains of the cat were niade into a package and securely tied. It was a lovely day, and the ferryboat was crowded with passeigers. and what had seemed so simple at home assumed unexpected difficulties in the face of a curious crowd, ready to imagine anything and to put the worst construction on an ap parently mysterious action. Finally it occurred to the father that the best time would be the evening, and he could slip the cat overboard without attracting notice in the dusk. Through the day it occupied a corner of his office, and.he was glad when the time came for the return trip. He waited until the boat was well out in the stream and then. glancing around furtively. laid hIs hand on the package. Suddenly it struck him what would seem strange in broad daylight would seen doubly so at night. With a smothered groan he rejlaced it on the se!f beside him. There was no heulp for it-he would have to carry it home again. As lie took his seat in the train that was to convey hima the rest of the way he placed thec cat on the shelf aohve h!s head a1nd for the first tie that day forgot all about it. HIurryinig to get off the car when he reached his destination, he was halted by some one behind him. who thrust into his land the ill fated package. When he reached his house lie threw it down on a chair in the ball and went in to supper. In the middle of it the maid came in and asked how she should cook the meat he had brought with him?" "Meat" he exclaimed. "That isn't meat ! It's" But at this moment the maid pro duced the package and showed him a choice piece of meat.

On the rack, by way of compliment, lay the score of "Il Trovatore." As soon as he caught sight of it the veteran flew into a rage, hastily locked the instrument, threw the score into a corner and, calling for his host. demanded in tragic tones: "Lead me to the spot that overhangs the steepest precipice'" Wondering. the host did as he was bidden, and on reaching the summit the maestro, who was almost exhaust ed from fatigue, flung the key of the plane into the abyss, energetically ex claim ing as he did so: "Now I have done something to se cure rest and quiet.
