The chain clashed back again down between the Iron combings Of the hutch, and the two mates below went on with their work. No one of fered to help them. No one, as Kettle grimly noted, was made to do so. "Do your three mates run this ship, captain?" asked Kettle ut last. "They are handy fellows." "If you ask ine, I should call them .poor drivers. What for do they put lu lall the work themselves when there Is all that mob of deck bauds und catth bauds standing round dolug the gentle men as though they were In the gallery of a theater?" "There was some misunderstanding when the crew were shipped. They Bay they never signed on to handle dead cattle." "I've seen that kind of misunder Btuudiugs before, captain, and I've started lu to smooth them away." "Well'.'"said the captain of the eattle bout. "Oh, with me," said Kettle trucu lently, "they straightened out so soon as ever I began to hit! If your mates knew their business, they'd soon have that crew In bund again." "I don't allow my mates to knock the men about To give them their due. they wanted to. They were brought up in n school which would probably suit you, captttilt, all three of them; but 1 don't permit that sort of thing. 1 am u Christian man, and I will not order my fellow men to be struck. If the fellows refuse their duty, it lies be tween them nnd their consciences." "As If an old sailor had a con science!" murmured Kettle to himself. "Well, captain, I'm no small piece of a Christian myself, but I was taught that whatever my band (ludeth to do to do It with nil my might, und I guess bashing a lazy crew comes under that head." "I don't want either your advice or your theology." "If I wasn't a passenger here," said Kettle, "I'd like to tell you what I thought of your seamanship and your notion of making a master's ticket re spected, but I'll hold my tongue on that. As It Is, I think I ought jtist to sny I don't consider this ship's safe, run the way she Is." The captain of the cattleboat Hushed darkly. lie Jerked bis bend toward the ladder. "Get down off this bridge," he said. "What?" "You hear nie. Get down off my bridge! If you'velenmednnythlngabout your profession, you must know this Is private up here nnd no place for bloom ing pnssengers." Kettle glared nnd hesitated. lie was not used to receiving orders of this de scription, nnd the Innovation did not please blm. Hut for once In his life he submitted. Miss Carnegie was sitting under tho lee of the deckhouse aft watching him, nnd somehow or other he did not choose to have a scene be fore her. It was nil part of this strange new feeling which had como over blm. He gripped bis other Impulses tight and went and sat beside her. She wel comed hhn cordially. She made no se cret of her pleasure at his presence. Hut her talk Just now Jarred upon hint. Like other people who seo the ocean nnd Its traffic merely from tho ama teur's view, sho was ablo to detect romance beneath her present discom forts, ? id she wns pouring Into his ear her scheme for making It tho foundation of her most ambitious poem. In Kettle's uilnd to build an epic on such a groundwork was nothing short of profanation. Ho viewed tho sen, seamen nnd sea duties with an In timate eye. To him they were common and unclean to the furtherest degree; no trick of language could elevnto their meanness. He pointed out how sho would prostitute her talent by laying hold of such nn unsavory subject nnd extolled the beauty of his own Ideal. "Tackle a corn Held, miss," ho would say again and again, "with Ita butter yellow color and Its bobs of red pop pies and tho green hedges all round. You write poetry such na I know you can about a cornfield nnd fnrmers nnd farm buildings with thatched roofs, and you'll wake one of these mornings (like all poets hope to do somo day) and lind yourself famous. And because why? you want to know. Well, miss, It's because cornfields nnd tho country nnd all that nro what peoplo want to bear about and dream tbey'vo got handy to their own back doorstep. They're so peaceful, so restful. You take It from me, no ono would ever want to rend four words about this beastly cruel sea and tho brutes of men who mnke their living by driving ship across It. No, by Ja? No, miss, you tako It from a man who knows, they'd just desplso It." And so they argued endlessly at tho point, each keeping an unchanged opinion. Perhaps of all the human freight that the cattleboat carried Mr. McTodd wns tho only ono person entirely hap py. He had no watch to keep, no work to do'; the inessroom was warm, stuffy nnd entirely to his tnste; liquor was plenty, nnd the ofllclnl engineers of tho ship were Scotch nnd argumentative. Ho never enme on deck for a whiff of fresh air, never knew a moment's te dium; bo lived In a pleasant atmos phere of broad dialect, strong tobacco and toasting oil nnd thoroughly enjoy ed himself, though when the moment of trial camo nnd his thews and ener gies were wanted for tbe saving of hu man life he quickly showed that tbU Capua had In no way sapped his ?ffl eleucy.

Kettle v:is pitched violently out of hie hunk i'i the deep of "''?, night, Just aft er two hells, mid from the symptoms which loudly advertised themselves It required no expert Knowledge to tell Hint the vessel was heating her bottom out on rocks to the accompaniment of n murderously heavy sea. The engines stopp 'U, steam Pecan to blow off nois ily from the escapes, and what with that and tho ?lies of men and the clashing of sens and the beating of Iron und the beast cries from tho cattle , decks the din was almost enough to split the ear. And 'hen tin steam siren burst out Into <?? u < ast beiiow of pain, which drowned all the other noises as though they had been children's whis pers. Kettle slid on coat and trousers over his pyjamas and went and thumped at a door at the other side of the alley way. "Misa Carnegie'.'" "Yes." "Dress quickly." "I am dressing, captain." "Gel finished with it and then wait. I'll come fur you w hen It's time." It l>? all Very well (O be cool on these occasions, but sometimes the race Is to the prompt. Captain Kettle made his way up on deck against a great ava lanehe of water which was cascading down the coinpanlonway. No shore was in sight. The ship had hacked oil after she had struck and was now roll lug heavily In a deep trough. She war. low in the water, and every second wave swept over her. No one seemed to be in command. A dim light Showed Kettle one lifeboat wrecked In davits and a disorderly mob of men trying to lower the other. Hut some one let go the stern fall so that the boat shot down perpendicular ly, and tho next wave smashed the lower half of It Into splinters. The frenzied crowd left It to try the port quarter boat, and Kettle raced them across the streaming decks and got Just to the davits. He plucked a greenbenrt belaying pin from the rail and laid about Lkiin viciously. "Itaek, you scum!" he shouted. "Get back or I'll smash in every face among you! Good Lord, isn't there a mate or a man loft uu this stinking farmyard? Am 1 to keep off all this two legged cattle by myself?" They fought on, the black water swirling waist deep among them with every roll, the siren bellowing for help overhead and the ship sinking under their feet, und gradually, with the fren/.y of despair, the men drove Kettle back agaiust the rail, while others of them east off the falls of the quarter boat's tackles preparatory to letting her drop. Hut, then, out of tbo dark ness, up came McTodd and the steam er's mate, both shrewd bitters uud men not afraid to uso their skill, and once more the tables were turned. The other quarter boat had been low ered and swamped; this boat was the only one remaining. "Now, Mae," said Kettle, "help the mate take charge and murder every one that Interferes. Get the boat In the water and feud oft'. I'll be oft' be low and fetch up Miss Carnegie. We must put some hurry in It. The old box hasn't much longer to BWlm, Take the lady ashore und see she comos to uo harm." "Oh, aye," said McTodd, "and we'll keep a seat for ycrsel', skipper." "Voll needn't bother," said Kettle. "1 take no man's placo In tbls sort of toa party." He splashed oft* across the streaming decks and found the cattlo boat's captain sheltering under the Ice of the companion wringing his hands. "Out, you blltherer," he shouted, "and save your mangy life! Your ship's gone uow. You can't play hash with her any more." After which pleasant speech he worked his way below, half swimming, half wudlug, and once more beat against Miss Carnegie'a door. Eveu lu this moment of extremity he did not dream of going In unasked. Bho camo out to him In the half swamped alleyway, fully dressed, "Is there auy hope?" she asked. "We'll got you ashore, don't you fear." lie clapped an arm around her waist aud drew her strongly on through the dark and the swirling water toward the fcot of the companion. "Excuse me, miss," ho said, "this Is not famil iarity, but 1 have got tho firmer aea legs, and we must hurry." They pressed up tho stair, battling with great green cascades of water, and gained the dreadful turmoil on deck. A few weak stars gleamed out above the wind and showed the black wave tops dimly. Already some of the cattle had been awept overboard and were swimming about like the horned hensts of a nightmare. The din of eurf came to them among the other noises, but ' ?oi visible. The steamer had hacked off the reef on which sne had struck and was foundering In deep water. It was Indeed a time for hurry. It was plain she had very few mor* minuted to gwllll. Each sea now made n clean breach over her, and a passage about the decks was a thing of Infinite danger, but Kettlo was resourceful and strong, and he had a grip round Miss Carnegie and a hold on something solid when the waters wrenched him, and he con tri veil never to be wrested entlrelj from Ids hold. Hut when ho had worked bin way aft a disappointment was there roody for him. Tho quarter boat was gone. McTodd Mood against ono of the dav its cool and philosophical as ever. "You Infernal Scotchman, you'vo lei them take nwoy the boat from you I" Kettle snarled. "I should have thought you could have kept your end up wltb a mangy crowd like that." "Use your eyes," said the engineer "The boat'fl In the wash below there, at the end of the tackles, with her sld< stove In. She drowned tuo three men that were lowered In her becaus< they'd no' sense enough to fend off." "That comes of setting n lot of farm ers to work a steamboat." "Aweel," Bald McTodd, "steamcrf havo been lost befoie, and I havo It in mind, captain, that you've helped." "Hy James, If you don't carry a civil tongue, you drunken Geordle, I'll knock you some teeth down to cover Itl" "Oh, I owed you thatl" said Mc Todd. "But now we're quit*. I bided bere, Captain Kettle, because 1 thought you^d maybe like to iwlm the leddjr off to the shore. Rod at that I can bear ? useful hand." "Mao," suhl Kettle, "I take back what 1 suld about you're being Scotch. You're a good soul"? He turned to the Kill, still shouting to muke hid voice curry above the clash of tho seas and the bellow of the siren and the noises of the dying ship: "It's our only ehance, miss, swimming. The life buoys from the bridge are alt gone. 1 looked. The hands will have taken them. There'll be a lot of timber float- J lng about when she goes down, and j we'll be best clear of that. Will you 1 trust to us'.'" I "1 trust you In everything." she said. Deeper and deeper tho steamer gunk In her wallow. The lower deckB were swamped by this, and the miserable eattlo were either drowned hi their stalls or washed out of her. There was no need for the three to Jump. They Just let go their hold, und the next Incoming wuvo swept them clear of the steamer's spar deck and spurned them 100 yurds from her side. They found themselves umong a herd of floating cattle, some drowned, somo swimming frenzledly. and with the Inspiration of the moment laid hold of a couplo of boasts nnd so supported themselves without further exertion. It was no use swimming for the pres ent. They could not tell which way the shore lay. And It behooved them to reserve all their energies for the morn ing, so well as the numbing cold and the water would let them. Of a sudden the bellow of the steam er's siren cei'scd. and a pang went through thCDJ as though they had lost a friend. Then came a dull, muffled explosion, and then n huge, ragged shape banned tip through tho night like some vast monument and sank swiftly straight downward out of sight beneath the black, tumbled sea. "Poor old girl." said McTodd. spit ting out the sea water. "They'd a tine keg of whisky down In her messroom." "Poor devil of a skipper!" said Ket tle. "It's to lie hoped he's drowned out of harm's way or It'll take lying to keep htm any rags of bis ticket." Tho talk died out of them after that, ami the miseries of the situation closed In. The water was cold, but the air was piercing, and so they kept thetr bodies submerged, each holding on to the bovine raft and each mall sparing n few fingers to keep n grip on the girt The next Incoming wave eucpt them clear One of the beasts they clung to quickly drowned; the other, strange to say, kept Its nostrils above water, swlin mlng strongly, and In the end came alive to the shore, the only four footed occupant of the steamer to be saved. At the end of each minute It soemed to them that they were too bruised and numbed to hang on uuother 00 seconds, and yet the next minute found them still alive and dreading Its successor. The sea moaned around them, mourn ing the dead; the fleet of drowned cat tle surged helplessly this way and that, bruising them wltb'rude collisions, and the chill bit them to the bone, merci fully numbing their puln ami anxiety. Long before tho dawn tho girl had sunk Into a stupor and was only held from sinking by the nervous fingers of the men. and then the men themselves were merely nutomuta, completing their task with a legacy of will. When from somewhere out of the morning mists a llsherbont sailed up. maimed by rugged, kindly Irish, all three were hauled over the guuwalo In ono continuous dripping string. The grip of the men's lingers had endured too long to be loosened for a sudden call such as chut. They wer? taken ashore ami tended with all th? care poor homes could give, and the men, used to hardships, recovered with a dose of warmth and sleep. Miss Carnegie took longer to recover and lu fact for a week lay very near to death. Kettle staid on m TOirvllIffge, making almost hourly Inquiries for her. He ought to have gone away to seek fresh employment; he ought to have gone back to his wife and chil dren, and he upbraided himself bitterly for his neglect of these duties. At last the girl was able to sit up and see blm, and ho visited tier, showing all the deferenco an embassador might offer to a queen. She listened to his tale of the wreck with Interest and surprise. Sho was almost startled to hear that others, in cluding the captain and two of the mates, were saved from the disaster besides themselves, but at the same tlmo unfelgnedly pleased. And she was pleased also to hear thut Kettle was subpoenaed to give evidence before tho forthcoming Inquiry. "1 am glad of that," she said, "be cause I know you will speak with ? free mind. You have told me so many times how incompetent tho captain was, and now you will be able to tell It to the proper authorities." Kettle looked at her blankly. "But that wns different," he said. "I can't say to them what I said to you." "Why not'/ Look what misery and suffering and loss of life the man has caused. He Isn't fit to command a ship." "Hut, miss," said Kettle, "It's his liv ing. He's been brought up to seafar ing, and he isn't fit for anything else. You wouldn't bnve mo send out the man to Starve? Besides, I'm a ship master myseir, and you wouldn't have mo try to take away another master's tlcloMV The cleverest captain afloat mip!t meet with misfortune, and ho's always got to think of that when he's put up to give evidence against his fel lows." "Well, what arc you golna; to do, then?" "Oh, we've got together a tale, and when tho old man Is put up on his trial tho mates and I will stick to It through thick and thin. You can bet that we are not going to swear away his ticket." "Hin ticket?" "Yes, his master's certificate, bis means of livelihood." "I think It's wrong," she said excit edly, "cr,initially wrong. And; besides, you said you didn't like the man." "I don't I dislike blm cordially. But that's nothing to do with the cos*. I've my own honor to thing of. miss). r?j done niy"best to rulu Vbrouier ???!> tuln Tor good aud always':" "Yon are wrong," she repeated ve bemeuuy. "The man is Incompetent by your own saylug. and therefore lie should sutrer." Kettle's beart ob died. "Miss C&rncgte," be said. "1 am dis appointed In you. I thought from your poetry that you had feelings. 1 thought you had charity, but 1 Bud thut you are cold." "And you," she retorted, "you that 1 had set up for myself as an Ideal of most of the manly virtues, do you think l feel no disappointment when l bear that you are deliberately propos ing to be a liar 7" "l am no liar." he Bald sullenly. "1 have most faults, but not that. This 1? different. You do not understand. It Is not lying to defend one's fellow ship master before an lmpilry board." The girl turned to the pillow In her chair and hid her face. "Ob, go." she Bald, "go! 1 wish 1 had never met you. I thought you were so good and so brave and so honest, and when It comes to the pinch you ure Just like the rest. Ool Go!" "You say you don't understand," said Kettle. "I think you deliberately won't understand, miss. You remember that 1 said I was disappointed In you. and 1 stick to that now. You make me re member that 1 have got a wife and family 1 am fond of. You make me ashamed 1 have not gone to them be fore. Ooodby, miss." "?Liodby," she sobbed from her pil low. "1 wish 1 could think you ars right, but perhaps It Is beBt as It Is." In the village street outside was Mc Todd, clothed In rasping serge aud In clined to be sententious. "They've whisky here," be said, with a Jerk of the thumb. "Irish whisky that's got a ?moky taste that's rather alluring when once you've got over the first dis like. I'm out of siller mysel' or I'd stand you a glass, but If you be lo funds 1 could guide you to the place." Kettle wus half tempted, but with a wrench he said "No." adding that If he once Btarted be might not kuow when to stop. "Quite right," suld the engineer, "you're quite (hie) right, skipper. A man with an Inclination to level him self with the beasts that perish should always be abstemious." lie sot against a waysldo fence and prepared for sleep. "Like me," hi added solemnly, and Bbut his eyes. "No," said Kettle to himself, "I won't forget It that way. I guess I can man age without. She pretty well euroi me herself, aud a sight of the mlssti will do the rest" Itiie end J MANDY'3 FEARFUb TEMPER A Woman's Infirmity That Worke< Wonders In Her Church Dr. 0. 0.

Bald Undo Dan'l,' ?' au' yit now an'theu, we run up with it jesi where It seems to teloug, an' it 'pears ai ef Ood makes a man's wrath to praiui him, au' specially a woman's." This was Bald one day after a churcl meeting, at which the deacons had beet trying to settlo a difficulty between twt of tho members, which aroso from over hoatod tongues. " Some o' you ricollcck Mandy Moore head," Baid Undo Dan'l. " She was the fieriest woman I ever knowed She ubi to boast that she Bald what Bho thought This wouldn't 'a been bo bad cf bIu hadn't 'a thought in scch a hurtin' way 3ho fell out, about onst a ver, with cvci nabor sho had an' one half her time wat spent in ondoiug at her leisure what bIk had dono in her haute.

That was Mandy. She run old man Spencer Jinkina out'n her yard jest because he como to borry a wagin, an' then tho nex' night an' fur three nights folio .Tin', she sot up with his son LiBha that was down with fover'n ague.

Returned to Town From Which He Had Been Expelled?MftBked Men Called at Noon. The Greenwood COItOSpondont of The State writeB as follows under date of ?Fob 21 : James W. Tolbert has met the fate he courted. He was shot today on the streets of McCormick, where he had beeu told that he must not go or else he would have to die. Before he was slu I down bo tired two shots at a young v si tor to tho town of McCormick - a man who had nothing to do wi h the row going on between Tolbert and the citi zens of McCormick. Both shots look effect, one in the body and one in the hip This young man, a Mr. Martin, was visiting Ins brother in law, M. L H. Sturkey. and wub simply walking by when Tolbert, according to the state meats of those present, pulled out a pis tol and tired at him. Immediately a fuailade bugau, with Tolbert as the tar get for all the available shoot lug irons in and around that vicinity. Tolbert owns quite a lot of land around McCormick and some real estate in the town He has never attended to the renting of this property in person until thiB year ; be will likely never do so agaiu. About a week ago be went down to McCormick determined to slay. In a few days he received an anonymous letter advi?ing birr, to leare 11c refused to attach auy importance to the letter and went on about his business of look iug after his farm lands. Today he was approached by a cro ? d of men and told to leave According to the rlatcment of the best men present he attempted to argue the matter and to let it be known that he intended to stay Just about that time young Martin pas sed by tho crowd on the other side of tho street, and seeing him,Tolbert pulled out his pistol and tired twice at Martin As stated above, the shooting at Tolbert then commenced, only two Hliots taking elloct both in the body. Martin was hit iu the hip and in the body. There were uo more shots tired at Tolbert after no fell. He was carried to the homo of Mr. Pick Bolllogsworth, and it was stated tonight that a heavy guard had been placed around the house. Young Martin was carried into the ?toro of his brotbor-in law, M L. B. Sturkey, and his wound* immediately attended to by l)r Moldau Even if Tolbert's wounds do not prove fatal, bis life is sti 1 in danger. Tho general opinion Ib that if Martin should die thoro would ho no chance for Tolbert. Late this afternoon a 'phone meesago from McCormick staled that a good many people from the couj.ry were coming in town, and the universal opinion wub that Tolbert had better be moved.

The people of McCormick aro vory cool and very de termined. Ho Iibb beer told to stay away, and all would bo well, but to try to come back thoro would mean trouble Tho trouble has como.

The Florence correspondent of the News and Courier, Wlilirg under ilate of Feh, lv. buys (hut Judge Watts made a record-break lug trial in the case of the State vs. John Livingston, charged With assault with intent to lavish, ami of assault and battery With intent to kill, and has set the pace for all othei Judges in South Carolina to follow in the trial of ??brutes" charged will? such crimes. Livingston was brought to Florence at y.ilu o'clock, arraigned in open con it ; pleaded gtlitty ; Bt itloueod to ten years at hard labol 111 the penitentiary, and was put aboard of the train, and was on the way for the penitentiary to en ter upon serving his Bontence atthoO o'clock. Just twouty minutes, liven the citizens of Florence are wondering how quickly and quietly ii was done, but it was done nevertheless and Llv illgstou is now doing time in the peni tentiary. Judge Watts decided to have Living ston bicuglit here lor ti ud, and gave an order to Slu ml I lurch to g.? to Colum bia and bring Livingston hole. lie also empowered tbo sherill'to appoint a BUtllciuut numb, r of deputies to as sure the safe arrival of the prisoner, to si c that he was not hill un d while hen-, and lo see that be was safely returned to the penitentiary. Sheriff Durch im mediately appointed about twenty-live deputies, among whom WClC lawyers, doctors, merchants and other business I men, and nolilled them lo meet Train f?4 11 oin Columbia, at the Irby strict crossing, t uur the coin 1 house, properly armed lo care for the piisonur during hi? slay in Floreuce. .kill 15 the party of deputies wi re on baud. Livingston was taken directly fiom the train to the court house, the Judge having bad the com! opened early, bo Ihoi'C would be no delay, and the prisoner was im mediately arraigucd. Livingston when nskcdhy the clerk: Guilty or not guilt) ? Answered in a stern voice : ?? I am guilty !" The Judge then told Living ston that under ordinary circumstances he would accept the plea of guilty made ami would make the sentence light, but owing to the fact thai bo had put the county and State to an enormous expense m capturing and caring for him to save a lynching, which would have happened had the law not have scented control of him, and the fact that be would have accomplished bis purpose but lor certain circumstances, and as a lesson to others who in ly at tempt such a wicked deed, be would give him the highest sentence the law would allow, and he thereupon sen tenced htm to the S ate penitentiary for a term of ten years al haul labor. The necessary papers were, made out, and the sheriii'and deputies proceeded to the Irby street stun ,n, where the train foi Columbia was in waiting. Livingston is the negro who assault ed the daughter ol the keeper of the national cemetery near Florence lust fall, with intent t > commit a more bei 11011-1 crime, but was bravely resisted and dually fled, but was pursued ami captured. Preparations hud been math ? lo lynch htm, when the authorities spirited bin away lo the penitentiary at Columbia, where he has been eon lined for safekeeping ever since until today. It would have been easy enough foi the sherill' to have brought Livingston here and kept him in jail, for iheie would have been no demonstration oi trouble, but the action of Judge Watts is heartily commended even b) bomo of those who were most eager in hound ing down the two negroes. i John Scott, in the Commonwealth, quotes from a Judge of the l iiileil I states Supreme Court: ''Von minis ters arc making n fatal mistake in not holding forth before men, as promt j licnlly as the previous generation did, the retributive j istieo of God. You have fallen into a sentimental style of rhapsodizing over the love of God, and you arc not appealing lo that fear of future punishment which your Lord and Master made such a prominent element ill His preaching, And we are seeing the elici ts of it in the wide spread of demoralization of private virtue and corruption of public con science throughout the land.

Prof. Massi v, of North Carolina, ie n high authoiity Oll isow peas, and he sn\s he gets the liest results to the land by letting the peas remain till killed by frost and then plowing them Under and sowing the land in rye. We believe that is true; and then if the I rye is plowed under when about knee I high it will be sure not only to help the sod permanently, but make the I crop planted on the land very much belter, whalevet the crop may be. If i plowed under at (hat stage, rye soon rots and it will keep the soil porous and moist all summer. There are tunes when tattle get choked from swallowing a raw potato, or other substance. To remove the obstruction there is nothing belter than six feet of garden hose. Elevate ttie head, open the mouth and p^ss the end of the hose down the throat. If not stilT etlOUg'l to force the obstruction down into the stomach, pass a buggy whip down inside the hose ami press gently, but firmly. (Jreuse the hose well before using, and feed soft feed to an animal for a day or two after choking. Sheep growers find that the liner the wool the poorer is the skin for tnuniug purposes. CASTOniA..
