Was ready to flip and run at the lir-t
ilnlieniion of danger,
j Tluoughout the. dny the wind bad
ijiccii blowing a gale, one of those
lSereo 'Northers'' so common in the
West Indies, but in cvouing approached
tiio tempest lulled, and when the
bright light on the outer reef M reamed
fort It over (lie waters, a warning to
approaching mariners, the weather
had begun to resume ils wonted tran
nullity. I'ierto Chapelle, the keeper, wns
away from his post of duly. Some
said he was supporting Legitime, bu
ll.o-e who knew the man best were
uwure that he wn liliing the position
of petty officer on board the Mercedes.
Yet the lantern within tho old tower
upon the shoro was never negleeled,
for tho delicate hands of bis beauti
ful daughter Kilello trimmed the
wicks.
Soverul hours had elapsed miico the
sun went down, but the lovely Creole
still reuiaiuod In tho turret, gii.ing out
through the window at iho su f which
wns still bentii'g heavily upon the
toral boulders. Suddenly (die wa
startV by some object slrikin,' .igaiu-i
Ihoi'ane with such force u to sliivcr
the glas.
An instant only the yt unggiil fch
alarmed, then U: smiled, for she
know what had ra ised her inomciitarx
fright. Siimo bird, in it. nuc: uinal
wanderings, altiacted by tho glare of
the beacon, had ll w n hcad.ong to its
'diniilj.
Poor thin"!" niuriniired Kslelle
compassionately, "porliop? it is only
stunned. I will descond and see."
Hurrying down tho short flight of
stone steps the inaidcu issued forth
into tho night and went in search of
i l.o wounded bird. Shu found it
whoro it had fallon ; nud, picking it
up carefully, returned to tho lantern
room. A glnnco convinced Edclle that the
victim of its own rashness was of no
ordinary spocics. She, examined its
pltimago moro cloioly, and was
astonished to tin I a plcco of thin
paper llrmly sccurod to ouo of the tail
feathers, by a line, hair-like wire.
Relieving tho feathered mossongcr
of its burden, Kstcllo opened tho mis
oivo and read,
"Legitime bus learned that you arc in or
near Aux-Cuyes, and has eent the Men-of-W'ur,
Uelie and Tiiant, to attempt your
eipture. They sailed this niuriibi); from
Tort-nii-Prince, July loth.
A few moments, F.itollo eontom
plated the important despatch, whilo
tho tin fortunate hearer lay dead in her
hand. Then it dawned upon her that
the warning must reach ils destina
tion and she must speed it on, for was
not liur own father on board thu Mercedes-?
And another, a oung sailor,
and tho gir l's heart gave a quick bound
as sho thought of the bravo mariner
who itad asked her to he his wifo
when tho eiucl war should draw to a
close.
tjuickly thrusting the pvper into
the Iiokoiii of her dress, nnd drawing
the light lace mantle, which was (im
pended to her shoulders, over her
dark, luxuriant hair, Kttello again
descended the btaics and hastened to
a .'hcllcred cove, whero a small skill'
lay moored to the drooping branch of
a mango tree.
She loosened the painter, grasped
the oars, and pushed out into Iho bay.
As the courageous girl rounded the
low point of land the outlines of the
palriols' vessels, the Mercedes nud
Jacqur-Mal, became visible.
Ksiclle pulled straight towards tho
former, but when within a few feet
of the rrafl which tlio sought, her
way was checked by the challenge
"(iui va la?"'
Hut only for an instant did our
heroino hesitate, then sho recognized
i he voice of her betrolho 1.
'T'rancois Maniqital! It is I, Ir
idic !" she exc.lniinml Joyfully.
"Whero is your American comman
dant! I have a ineisago for him. lie

"Danger, mademoiselle?" was
asked, in a voice that lo Kslelle bore a
strong foreign accent. "What new
danger threatens u- 'i '
Vac the girl could onswer, her boat
touched iho side-steps, and assisted
by lVniicnis Matiiqunt fchc climbed to
the dock, where she Win confronted
by a tall, fine-looking man, weuring
long, broad-bladcd sword, and with
i wo glittering revolvers thrust into
bis belt, liile his attire was n com
bination of naval and civic costume.
"This, monsieur," returned the
maiden, placing the paper in the
AiiiciiMti's hand, "was brought to the
lighthouse lower to-night by a poor
pigeon which heal out ils frail life
against the glass of the lantern. You
will know whether it is of importance
or not."
The commander took the mesagp
and hurried with it to his cabin, where
lie remained but a moment, then reap
peared nnd issued several orders to
his men in quick Mie :cssion.
Turning to l-Nlelln he grasped her
hand mid eaid with much earnest
ness: "Mademoiselle, you have this night
performed a deed of heroism for which
every patriot of liny ti should feel
grateful to you. The warning sent
by a friend has coino to our hand just
in lime. -Now let the Tausaut and
IS.-lie of I lie whole of Legitime' tlcul
appear, wo shall be roady to r 'ccive
them. Rut you, my dear young lady,
must liiislcu again on shore, for per

a scene unlit for your eyes to witness.
I'rancois, you will see that Mademois
elle is safety escorted to her home."
"Pardon, Monsieur Commandant,
can you at this lime alio id to .-pare
any of your force?" asked Iho young
seaman.
"Monsieur," interposed Kito'.le,
"FrancoU Maniqtlal's duty is hero
with you. 1 came alone, and fear not
o to return. An revoirl" and with
out fm titer parley the daughter of the
iighluiiuse kec er descended to bur
boat and pulled away in ihu darkness,
thankful (h it sho hail not born too
ate to nccompli-h her mission.
Kro Kslello leached the cove a rock
et nscen led from tho deck of the Mer
cedes. It was the sign il for her con
sort to get under weigh and put t
sea, whero thcro would be plenty ol
room to iuaiKi'iivre. ;
When iho giil reached her station j
iu tj0 lantern-tower the saw tho two
vessels of tho patriots move slowly
out of tho harbor. An hour Inter tho
boom of a gun reached her cars, foU
lowed by another, and sho knew that
the battle had begun.
Oh, how i-ho prayed for tho success
of her friends. All through Iho night
the brave girl reiuninod at hor post
of observation. Occasionally sho
caught sight of tho streaming trail of
lire from a rocket as one vossol sig
nalled lo another, whilo tho boom of
a cannon was almost incessant.
As morning approached, everything
became q del, and she knew thnt tho
strugglo hud been decided. But who
arc tho victors.
When the sun arose, IMcllo descried
the smoko of two steamers close down
upon tho horizon.
Slowly tho vessels drew in towards
the land, nnd crc long the Mercedes
nnd .laeque-Mal, battered and torn
from their recent fierce nicountcr'
rounded the outer reef.
As they passed the lighthouse tower
each discharged a gun and dipped
their colors in respectful salulo to the
heroino who had brought them the
timely warning.
It hud come 110110 too soon, for
scarcoly was tho American clear of
tho harbor ere ho saw the liclizo nud
Tausunt coming down upon him under
a heavy press of steam. The light
had been a dodging ouo, but the su
perior seamanship of the Insurgent
Admiral asserted itolf, and although
he did not elleet the eai Mre of cither
of the enemy, he succeeded in sending
them back lo Port-ati-Prince in a very
dilapidated condition.
Two months later victory rested on
the banners of Ilyppolito, nnd after
Hie vcfsuls of tne vanquished had
been turned over to their American
ally, the lighthouse keoper, Pierre
(hapclle, and his young shipmate,
Francois Maniquat, asked leave lo re
turn to Aux-Cayes, where a happy
and joyful wedding took place, join

A Cent Well Invested.
Miss A. '. Anderson, matron of
the Door of Hope, a charitable insti
tution for girls, found a cent in tho
street. At that titno tho loor of Hope
was contemplating buying n cemetery
lot in which to bury tho girls who died
while in ils care, and Miss Anderson
declared that sho would coiiBccralo tho
cent to this cause.
She bought an egg and sold tho
chicken that was hntched from il for
n, dollar. The dollar was invested in
silk ribbons, carduoard and fancy
article.
Out of the cardboard 'were cut
Scriptural texts, and the siik was cro
cheted into little rings, winch with
strips of nut lit sash ribbon niado good
photograph holders. Tho fancy ar
ticles wero sold at good profits.
Now Miss Anderson has nearly $12,

The happy owner of a magic Ian.
tern and several do.cn interesting
slides may be supposed to regard with
disfavor any substitute for his
precious possession, the more so when
to tlio sauio is attached I he further
condition of being altogether costless.
Those not so favored, however, will
bo interested to know that almost the
same results can bo obtained with
materials readily accessible in any
household. They consist of the white
cloth or paper will answer upon
which the pictures nre thrown, of a
mirror, a candle and some paper lig
tt res.
Lqually simple is the perforninnc v
Having stretched tho cloth against the
wall in a darkened room, set a lighted
candle opposite lo it on a table, with a
book or a similar object intervening
so that the light will not directly striko
the cloth, but keep it in comparative
darkness. Then hold the mirror side
ways beforo Iho candle at such an
anglo that tin; reflection of it will bo
thrown on the cloth. You hovu thus
sccurod tho slide itself, square or
round, as the form of the mirror may
be. It yet remains to introduce the
picture. This is easily done. You
in not only hold a paper figure between
the candle and the glass, and its
shadow on the mirror, reflected n the
cloth, gives in silhouette 'he form of
the paper.
Moving it forwnrd between the can
dle and the glass, the ligui" w ill ap
pear to walk more or less leisurely, or
a regular promenade can be arranged,
with Iwo or more figures walking in
opposite directions. Other notions
will readily suggest themselves to the
imaginative mind.
It is, however, necessary to remem
ber that the pictures show in si.hotiettc
only, so that the outlines of tlu paper
alone can be depended upon to give
shape ami form. New York Com

Three very winsome children are.
the liltlo princelings, Ou-iavus Adol

Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway.
Their father, Duke of Oakland, is the
oldest son of King Oscar of Sweden
nud Norway.
Althotisih the vouti" princes I ivo
much of their time nt 'Full yarn, a
eastlo by tho seaside, they, like other
children, arc fond of visiting their
grandfather. When they cuuio to see
him I lie king takes great pleasure in
giving them military drill, and l-.'iey
go through their exercises on the
lawn, whero the people of the neigh
borhood can stand outside and watch
them.
Prince F.rik tries to do like his elder
brothers, and his going through tho
military drill is very cunning. The
King tells them to present arim to the
people, winch they do amid loud
cheers.
There have been some famous
kings named (iu-lavus, so i he Swedish
people love (be nno. Should this
little Princa ever become King, he
will bo known n- Oimtavus Adolphus

is to bo a soldier, and if he is as bravo
and good as his grand father and
father, he wiil be a great man. Before
him are heavy responsibilities, ami
although his military drill is now p,ay,
his future work will bo very hard.
His brother, Prince William, is lo

can read, write and have laketi up
many other stinlies. They have many
things lo learn and must be at their
work early.
Their mother was Princess Victoria

BIRDS OF THE SKA.
Storm's Approach Throws
Th cm Into a Panic.
In Prolonged Gales Thousands
Are Sometimes Killed.
The heavy storms of the sea trouble
not the ships which sail upon its
waters, but the many sea birds that
live and 11 iat upon the stormy Atlan
tic are greatly disheartened and fright
ened by the furious anger oil old Nep
tune. Along the rocky coasts of New
F.uglaud, or the sandy reefs of the
southern states, the frocks of sea fow l
denote the approaching storm by wild
and unearthly cri.-s, which Inter
mingle with tlio roar of the surf, nud
the wash of the rain and spray. Far
out at sea the birds utter wild cries of
alarm when the ocean begins to darken
ami the wind lo in ian across (he ex
pansive waste of waters, and with nil
the speed poisible they 11 y toward
somo point of laud to e-cape the dan
ger. The few which are caught in Iho
storm, far from the laud, make the
wild screaming of the storm more
horrible by their piteous eri' and ex
cited calls. Washed hither and ihilher
by the relentless st irm, (hey lly around
iu hopeless search for some harbor of
retrea. Should ihi light of some
passing vei.Mil, or the ll.ish light of a
warning lighthouse, at trai l their at
tention, hey are lur'd on lo a danger
far greater Ih.vi that experienced from
the waves and wind-.
Storms do not always warn the
birds iu lime lo pel mil them to reach
the shore. The terns, pelrc!-,, gulN,
ducks and other sea fowl may be fir
from the shore, tkimming over the
water in graceful sweeps, when n
coast storm suddenly comes out of th"
northwest.
At the first sign of sii'-'i a change in
the weather the birds invariably seek
some barb, r of safety, but if the
storm shuts thenr out from (he coast
they arc forced to lly around in flocks
until accident l"ads them !o a rot real.
Sea fowl at such times ibck together,
and a lust company may number lli -u-eands
of birds, repi csenling a I.etero
gene -s illeclion of nil llic sjiecics of
sea i .. ' Such motley collection
frequently dish against the light
house of .some exposed point, where
hundreds of their number are killed
by tie! collision. Ocean steam i
serve as an allirctne.nt for them, an I
they follow the light of th" ve-s 1 as a
moth does tho candle light. If not
attracted by any light (he birds 11 v
iron ml until exhau-ted by Iheir exer
tions, or until the storm abates.
During prolonged .-tonus thousand
of lost km fowl arc destroyed iion
the ocean through their inability lo
reach laud, orlooilinle iho furlou
gales. While a large proper. ion ol
the flock would eventually succumb lo
the fury of the wind and waves, there
tiro many others that would show
their marvelous powers iu outriding
t lie storm.
To lly again-t a ga'o thai is blowing
at the rate of forty or lil'ty miles an
hour would req.iire bones of iion and
luil-cies of sloe', and th", .st birds
very rarely succeed in holding their
own iu such a storm. They bull I
with a gale bravely, .circling around
and around to iu ike headway against
it, but in time tiny an1 ,-wepi far out
to fca. The waves oiler no resting
place for them, and tin y are forced to
tr.tst entirely to their wings for
safely.

rible story of strain and hopeless ex
ertion. They fought In avely ng dnsi
the adverse elements and only suc

vessels have brought solitary sea fowl
that would light upon the masts of
the ships when completely exhausted
after fighting against the slotm-. This
welcome place of icst is secured de
spite all presence of danger fioin the
passengers.
Floating spars nud wrecks have
been lite moans of saving the lives of
such lost birds. They would ll Hit on
thcin for hours or davs until they be
came thoroughly rested from iheir
labors, and then they would begin
their long journey toward some shore

The Czar's Vnehfs.
Fmperor Alexander's yacht, Poliar
nays Zvcsda, or Polar Star, is tho
largest pleasure boat that has ever
been built. We might my that it is a
marine palace. Il is 3')') feet long,
draws nineteen feet, and ij l'.l'0 tons
but ilea. Ths crew numbers HOtj picked
men, commanded by Prince Chuk
hoVfky. The service is innumerable.
An idea of it may be formed by one
single item an orchestra of fifty
inu-ician, ulways ready to charm,
and shorten the lengths of the jour
neys. Kul it noist be said that these
are singularly abridged by the extra
ordinary speed of the splendid vessel.
The Polar Star travels ordinarily at
tlie rate of eighteen knots tin hour.
On her trial trip she mad'; nineteen

the incomparable brilliancy of (be
woodwork. In the Czar's study
there is a writing dek that one migh'.
take for a beautiful casting of tortoiso

magnificent palace, the Tsnrevna is a
