She pushed the creaking door ojen and enteied, still dragging Melanie at her heels. "A liquor storage. I think,' said, straining her sves into the semi-dark ness. "A lot of little barrels, laid on their sides! Now I do wonder what they - are? Ah!" with a sudden inspiration, "smnr't it lucky 1 stole Fred's matches away?" She drew, the box of matches from her t cket with a quick motion which was laiutuai to her. in tne ame insiani . a . 1 . the dark doorway was again darkened this time by a tall, masculine figure. "Captain Maryland!" Mrs. lterrydale stood transfixed with amazement, the b-x in one hand, the upraised match, ready to striko against it, in the other. Captain Marylanl snatche 1 both fro n her nnd thrust them deep into his jacket. "Now go!" said he, in deep, stern accents. Mrs. lterrydale flushed to the very roots of her curly, gold-brown bangs. "I won't!" she cried. "You forget. Captain Maryland, that you are not on your own quarter deck! And anyhow," with a tone of defiant mischief in het voice, "I've gt one match left in the bottom of my pocket." She was fumbling for it, when the tall sen captain suddenly caught her up in his arm n if she had been an oversized wax doll, an 1. striding through the nar row doorway, carried her some dozea yards or no across t,he glistening beach, before he put her down. "How dare you?" cried the widow involunturily putting up her hand U straighten out her rumpled tresses. "I never, never will forgive you!' "Hut Helen -' "Nor will I ever sp.-ak to you again!'

And then she sat down among tht daises and sweet fern nnd cried hard than eer, until the first sprinklings o a coining shower compelled ber to ftc company Melanie into the house. "I've" got the match in my pocket still," she said, when she was bathing hei eyes befcre tea. "I I don't rare no, whether Captain Maryland smokes o not." Just as they eat down to the table. Hash of blue lightning outblazed th humble kerosene lamp upon the table a crash of thunder shook the walls. Mrs. lterrydale gave a littls shriek. She was nervo is in thunder storms. "I dew hope the powder magaiins won't .be struck." said the farmer's wife, coming in with a plate of hot waf fles. "Cap'n Maryland, he's jest had il filled full his last r'yage. an' the oom panr ain't goin' to send for it till next week." "The wh.t?' said Mrs. lterrydale.

Mrs lterrydale and Me'anie Mrtoo locked nt each other. Itoth had grows very pale, but the g-nod farmer's wife ob served nothing. "I guess it's eife 'nough." said she, as another peal sounded further off" The storm's goin' off east, thank good ness!" In half an hour the rain was over, an) the moon was shining brightly. Melanie who sat at the window, gave a little start "I think there comes Charley Tor ranee," said she, "op the garden walk! "And I'm almost sure," whisperer Mrs. lterrydale, "Captain Maryland it with him." Melanie ran out to meet her lover Mr lterrydale sat still in the parlor until Captain Maryland entered.

The abandoning of the Abbysinia adds me more to the long list of vessels knocking about the rw-e.m at the mercy f win Is, wave and currents. When she was l.ft there soeinel but little doubt that she would sink beueath the waves and ccate to become a danger to naviga tion, but she had not gone down at the lime the rescuing strainer parted from her, and so. she must bo looked out for by all vessels passing near the Icality. One recommendation of the Interna tional Maritime Conference was that the various nation having commerce on the high seas should patrol the ocean within J-ertain fixed limits nnl endeavor to free the routes from obstructions of every kind. This would include towing steam ers into port that had lost their propel lers, sailing ships tint were dismasted, vessels that were a much disabled by collision as to nee I assistance, anl, in fact, to relieve the nee ly of every de scription and to rid the highways of all f angers. I'nfortiinntely the measure ailed to become a law, but the necessi ties of the case have by no means ceased (o exist. The regular monthly Pilot Chart as is lued by the Hydrogrnphic Office con tains, in addition to a vast amount of valuable data, tracks which show graphi cally the course taken by the derelicts, so that masters i of vessels leaving port may redouble their vigilance upu ap- rToaching the dangerous section in which be wanderer was last seen or to which it may hare drifted s'iiicj the report was made. Many of these, vessels have been drifting here and there for m mthi and scarcely a day passes that mmo one of them is not reported by iucoiiiing ves sels. Some of these are bottom sido op, and when first sighted look like the body of a huge whale; or if the sea is breaking over them the white foum of the broken w&ter catch'- the ere, ani "Breakers ahead!" is what th 'lookout reports. Others have shifted their cargoes an J are listed away over on 0110 sido or tho other so far that it see. n. a perfect wonder that they have not "turned turtle long ago. ..aow and then one is sighted witn her bow high up out of the water, while her stern is out of sight, while the next one seen is tilted in tho opposite direc tion, as though sho were all rea ly to take a header. The majority of accident occur to ves sels when in the vicinity of Capo Hatte raa; and when nhsn-loiicd, these vessels are genarally carried along by the (tulf Stream, thus drifting into the ocean highway and towards the coast of (treat Britain, until they either strike those far off shores or become so water-soaked that they sink. Occasionally they drift to the eastward and get out of the Ctulf Stream, owing to strong westerly winds. New York World. A w Kind of Leather. James W. Deikert, a Newarker, haa discorered a new kink of fancy leather. It is obtained by fauning the stomachs of animals, the same material from which tripe is prepared. "Trije is not tripe un til it is prepared for food. What it should ba called when considered as material for -leather is still an open ques tion. It tnakts handsome leather for pocket book s. bags, and fancy articles, and can be dyed in any color. Only the inner membrane is used. The heavy in tegument is split off, leaving a modera tely thin and coarse-fibred leather as oft as chamois. There is a great variety of grain and pattern in the same piece of the leather, and much of it is too plain to admit of using it in large articles with the best effect, but excellent results can be obtained by matching opposite spots of the skin, it can be called. The part known as the "honeycomb" majiee a particularly rich appearance when dyed anl polished. It is much more effective than alligator or lizard skin, and much softer and more easily worked into irreg ular forms. Another part has the appearance of being covered with jet beads when dyed black and polished. Any part of the material will keep people guessing what it is made from, and that is a part of the pleasure of own ing any novelty. The inventor or dis coverer of this new 1 ather say s .that he can get from twelve to fifteen feet frem an animal. New York Sun. TTkat Barter!. Are.

The number of mortgsgii filed for record al moat equals all other documents. Th unemployed can find nothing to do aad the army of tramps is receiving large ac cessions. . On the other hand, our bouses are full, farms are well tilled and har vests have been uniformly good for vears Ventura county is rich in house and Unds and has rich goods in store. Why, then, is there universal complaint oft money famine? Simply because trans portation of our produce to the consum er is carried on at a price that is ruinous to us and that yields a profit of 40 per cent, to the railroads. Thi and th ta famous .combination I of speculstors who control the chief markets to suit their ca price, is the cause of the distress that has st lat aroused the people to remon strance and perhspi tebellioo. If the business men are shrewd enough to see where their Interest lies they will join with the Alliance io demanding a com plete revolution in the financial atd transportation system of the country.
