It isn't orthodox, as Deacon
' Posey would say." And the captain
langhed.
And just at the gray break of dawn,
when they oonld almost hear the
church bells ring through the fog and
darkness, there went a thrill and
quiver through the Forest Queen from
stem to stern?a sudden pulse, like
the beating of a heart. Guy Dayrel
started up in his berth and tapped at
the board partition which separated
his sleeping quarters from those of his
nearest neighbor.
"Aymesoourt!" he cried, "wake up!
There is something wrong!**
Aymesoourt started from his dreams.
'Wrong! What is it?"
"We have run aground somewhere,
or struck a rock. Stop?don't ask
any more questions. Keep your
breath and strength; they will both
be needed. Dress as quickly as you
can.
When Aymescourt came on deck,
amid the darkness and chill and oonfusion,
he eou!d learn only one fact?
that the ship had struck a rock, and
was fast leaking away her life.

"But you needn't be so alarmed,
ma'am," said the captain, to a pale
young mother, who was kneeling on
the floor of the deck, with her arms
round both her children. "We can't
be far off Wayne's Beach, and our
sailors would know the way through
these shoals if you were to blindfold
'em.' We have two good life-boats.
It's only leering the Queen to go
down by herself."
The captain rubbed his shaggy'
sleeve lightly acrcss his eyes as he
spoke, and then turned away to issue
the necessary orders.
The ruddy shins of sunrise was
tipping th? wares with crests of carnelian,
when the first life-boat rode
off, manned by true hands and fearless
hearts.
"Make haste!" the captain called to
the men who were preparing to launch
the last. "She's filling feet**
"How long do jon think she will
Inst?" asked Guy Dayrel calmly.
4 'Half an hour perhaps?not longer."
The passengers crowded into the
boat with the headlong haste of those
who are fleeing from death, and she
was fall, while two men yet stood on
the deck of the fatal Teasel?Qaptain
Boss and George Yasser, the man
whose bright eyes had stolen Mary
Armitage away from her first lorer.
An old sailor started up from his
oar.
"Captain! Captain! this mnsn't be!
Take this oar! I'm not each a labber
as to save myself and see yon perish!"
"Sit down, sir!" roared the captain.
"Do you suppose discipline isn't discipline
now, just as much as ever it was?
I am captain of this craft, and I mean
to stand by hu- to the last. Only,"
turning to Mr. Yas3ar, as the discomfited
old salt dropped down into his
seat. 'Tm sorry for you, sir! I have
always expected some such end as
this; but yon?"
George Vassar had become deadly
pale?he c'.aspied his hand to his eyes.
"May God have mercy on Mary and
the ti?tie ones," he uttered.
\\ uli a sadden movement, Guy "DayI

horror-stricken survivors.
George Yassar sat at his Thsnksgiv- !

feast, and wreaths of autumn leaver

Day waa certainly behind time, i
There we eat craning our necks to lo- :
cate the glorious bird, but it was too
dark to im them in the foliage of the
magnolias. When the sky began to
el ear np we took standing positions,
and made onr necks ache by looking
upward. I was the first to see the
game, and this one was directly over
my head; and it was only a few moments
more when each, exoept the boy, was
sighting along his gun barrel waiting
for the word "Beady." All of ns
pointed ont a splendid shot to him,
bnt his eyes were stubborn and he
could not see the turkey we had selected
for him. One moment he
would see him, and, when we were
all ready, he would say "Wait," in a ;
stage whisper. The turkeys had dis- ;
ooTtred that something was wrong,
and were sounding their signals of
alarm in shrill "pits" and "puts."
We were especially anxious for the
boy to bag a turkey, as he had never
killed one. When we did get ready to ,
shoot, my neck was almost broken. As !
the four reports rang out in concert, [
two fine turkeys, a gobbler and a hen, j
fell to the ground, the victims of my j
brother and nephew, The rest of the i
flock flew away in the wildest alarm. I
Everybody has seen a gobbler strut,
but the pride of the male turkey was
surpassed by my nephew that morn- .
ing, as he shouldered his first turkey. ;

Holiday Caadles.
Molasses candy may be quickly
made by placing in a granite kettle
| one teacupful of white sugar and 1}
eups New Orleans molasses. Let it
boil until it makes a moderately hard
oandy when tested by dropping a bit
from the spoon into oold water. Add
one tablespoonful butter, three teaspoonfuls
vinegar, than boil two minutes
longer. Take from the stove and
stir in well one-quarter teaspoon/<il
saleraius, pour on well buttered plates,
and before it gets too oold check off
with a buttered knife. This may be
improved by having a teacupful of
hickory or walnut meats spread on the
buttered plates, before pouring over j
the hot candy. Popcorn or peanuts !
also may be used. A foundation ior many
fancy candies is made tbne: i
Place in a granite kettle tro cupfuls j
granulated sugar, one capful cold I
water and a pinch of cream of tartar, j
Stir until it dissolves but not after it j
boils, or it will grain. Cover the
kettle nd boil about ten minutes.
There are several different stages at
which it may be removed from the
fire, when it is soft and ere amy, or
hard or quite brittle. If one wishes it
creamy, it must be stirred one way
until it is oold, commencing when it
is a little more than lukewarm. Cocoanut,
chocolate, almond, fig or nnt
candy maj be made from thii fondant,,

GERMANY'S NEW AMBASSADOa~
A Diplomat Who One* Before Bepre* j
seated the Kaiser at Washtagton.
Dr. Ton Holleben, who comes ts
Washington as the ambassador from
Germany, is one of the best known
diplomats in Europe. The doctor is
also well known and highly esteemed
in Washington, where he filled, the post
of German minister from March, 1892,
to September, 1893. The mission was
then raised to an embassy, and Dr.
ron Holleben was replaced by Ambassador
Saurma-Jelisch. The new ambassador
is highly educated and a most
snare man. He speaks English with
as much fluency as a born American or
Englishman, and during his stay in
Washington five years ago he won
many friends in Washington society,
where he was known as one of the few
hacbelors of the diplomatic corps. Dr.
rol Holleben has had a wide and varied
experience as a diplomat. He has rep
DR. VOX nOLLERF.X.
resented Germany at Santiago de Chile
and at Tokio. That was before his appontment
to the American mission,
lie is about 55 years old and has an inclination
toward the pleasures of literature.
He will replace Baron von
Thiclnian, who is to be secretary of the
German treasury. I)r. von Holleben is
now minister at Stuttgart.
As we understand it the Prince d'OrIcans

of Turin did the rest.

The Champion in Frugality.
Guy. the founder of Guy's hospital
in London, was as parsimonious in
private life as he was munificent in
public. A Rood story illustrative of
this is told of him in connection with
John Hopkins, one of his contemporaries,
who was nicknamed Vulture '
Hopkins on account of his rapacious
mode of acquiring his immense wealth.
On one occasion be paid a visit to Guy,
who, on Hopkins entering the room,
lighted a farthing candle. Hopkins, on !
being asked the object of his visit,
paid: "I have been told that you, sir. !
are better versed in the prudent and
necessary art of saving tnan any man
living, and I therefore wait on yon for j
a lesson in frugality. I hare always j
regarded myself as an adept in this
matter, but I am told yon excel me," I
"Oh.** replied Guy, "if that is all you i
came to talk about, we can discuss the '
matter in the dark." and thereupon he i
blew out the candle. Struck with this |
example of economy. Hopkins acknowl-.
edged that he had met his superior

Foe ud Coal Oul
According to the statement of Prof. x
Lewes, a London fog deprives coal
gas of 1L1 per cent of its illuminating
power, bnt this is not so astonishing as
is the fact that, under similar cirrus*
stances, the searching light of an incandescent
burner loses as much as , A$j
20.8 of its efficacy. The reason given ' '
by Prof. Lewes for this phenomenon
is that the spectrum of both the incandescent
and the electric light approaches
very nearly that of the solar >
spectrum, being very rich in the violet
and ultra-violet rays. It is precisely
these rays which cannot make their
way through a London fog. To this
is attributed the fact that the sun looks
red on a foggy day. The violet rays $g|
are absorbed by tbe son a parucies ym
floating in the aqueous vapor of the
atmosphere, and only the red portions
of the spectrum get through. The In- ;
teresting additional statement is made
In this connection that the old argand . |
burner is much more successful in re- #
sistlng a London fog than any of its
later rivals.?Science.

Is It a compliment or a treat to this
country that England Is constantly
strengthening her naval forces In
American waters? Every ship on the
North American and West Indian sta- ^
tions whose term of service expires Is
replaced by a more formidable one,
and great sums are being expended in
improving docks and harbor defenses. ?
Why this display of strength? Snrejy - i
it is not for the protection of Canada;
f the most hopeless pessimist in the Dominion
cannot fear an attack from the
United States. But there Is scarcely
more reason to fear an attack on the
Uuited States by Great Britain. Prob
ably the true and simple explanation
is that the British Government Is build* ^
ing larger vessels now than it did form- vf
erly. and, having them on hand. In
sending them to foreign stations in the tf
usual routine.
A Sitka saloon-keeper has been arrested
