An old woman in Scotland was living
in the must abject poverty. Iler neigh
hors thought it strange, knowing that she
had a son io America reputed to he in
comfortable circumstances, ( )nc day one
of theui ventured lo ask her about the
matter.
"Doci your son never aend you
money?"
"No," reluctantly answered the mother,
but, eager to defend hi 111 against the im
plied charge uf forgclfulness and ingrati
tude, she quickly added, "but ho writes
me nice long letters and sands uio a pretty
picture in almost every one'ol them."
"Where aro these pictures?" incrit'J
the visitor; "may I see them?"
"Why certainly," was the answer. And
the old woman went to a shelf and took
down the old Bible, and there between
the leaves lay the "pictures" that her son
had been sending from America through
all the yean.
V hat wero they? Nothing more or
less than bank notes, each for a consider
able amount. During all this time ol
need the woman had had under her hand
sum of money sufficient to satisfy her
every want, and she did out know it. She
had looked at the pictures; she bad
thought them pretty pictures; they had
been to her reminders of her lar-nlT son,
and evidence that he had not forgotten
her, and that was all.

The Mayflower was built primarily for
the perilous work she was put to, and to
that end, she was made exceedingly la-t.
Iler keel was laid iu Nassau, West Indies,
and she was launched there in lSIIJ.
The Confederates used In r us a blnek

harbor for a long while, and she was st
swift that the I'uiled Stales cutters were
unable lo capture her. At last, aid r
making a magnificent dash for the high
sea, she was caught in a dead calm. A
nitcd States gunboat buio duwn itud
nabbed her. Shu was taken to Wash
iugton, confiscated by ihe Federal gov
ernment and sold under the hammer.
After the war she was used in the li-h
ng business and finally taken to Noil'oik
and again sold, and for 18 years she has
icen known as oao of the fastest boats in
Virginia waters.
