RETTY Mercy Stand
well drew out the end
of the huge Iron crane
almost as high as her
self—and peered into
the pot which it had
brought from the fire, shielding
her face from the blaze with a
pretty, plump hand. Someone
had to stay aft home to look
after things, and this morning
Mercy had insisted on the oth
ers going to meeting and leav
ing her to this task, and she had been
utilizing the three hours of the long
sermon in adding to the stock of
food. There were a goodly number
of home folks and guests, and no
one know how many her father and
mother would bring from the service.
“So ho, mistress," came a deep,
mocking voice; "ye have been pre
paring for our coming, it seems.
Beshrew me, but the odors are good.
What say ye, boys," turning to a line
of piratical, sailor-looking men who
were following him into tlie room.
“Shall wo sit for a while and let this
fair wench minister to our appetites?
’Twill be a difference from our black
amoor's cooking, 1 am thinking.”
A hoarse growl of assent came
from the line from all but one, who
looked doubtful.
“Will it be safe, captain?” this one
asked.
“Safe!” the deep voice echoed
grimly. “What have we with a land
word like that.? Besides, it sounds
weak in th\ big mouth, Tnrbell. I!
is their Thanksgiving time here, and
they word long sermons. Let us be
thankful, too, and partake of their
good cheer. We shall then be fitted,
when they return from service, to
pick out good men and true for our
vessel. And for thy word safe, fne
soldiery are at their gorging a mile
away from here. We can eat and be
merry, cull our need from the praise
singers when they come back, and be
dipping across the water before ..ews
of the exploit can get over die leaded
tables to their ears. Now, Turbid],”
his keen, scornful eyes flashing nhout
and seeming to see and comprehend
everything; "get all the men Inside.
Yon fill up the 'able here, and 1 will
take charge of the one in the next
room. It. will he time enough to bag
chickens and pigs and other live
stock when we are through; and per
haps there will be a few scraps left
from our feast that we can carry back
to the vessel. It will be a change
from the blackamoor.”
All this time Mercy had bom
standing by the fireplace; and her
eyes, which at first had dilated with
terror, gradually calmed and grew
watchful and speculative. She had
thought they might be king’s men, on
a raid to impress seamen. Now she
believed they were buccaneers, or
pirates; but it amounted to the same.
The one impressed in the king's
name, the other in their own. In
either case, the possibility of escape
or release were equally small; only,
with the pirates, in the event of cap
ture, explanations might be difficult,
and then punishment would be quick
and certain.
As she hurried from table to table,
trying to nieet the demands for hot
voffee which were hurled at her from
all sides, the lips of the young girl
were pressed firm, her brain busy.
Something must be done, and she was
the one who must do it. in another
hour her father and brothers and
uncles and cousins, and all the men
of the neighborhood would be com
ing from service, and, unwarned,
would fall into the hands of these
evil-eyed freebooters, who would pick
out the strongest among them and ,
bear them away to slavery that would
be worse than death.
Mercy knew what it meant. The
coast was an exposed one, and press
gangs had visited it before. Men had i
been carried away, and not one of
them had ever returned. Occasional
ly stories had come back of hardships
and cruelty and even of death, until
the word press-gang had become a
word to whiten the cheeks of women
and clinch the fists of men. Only the !
year before the son of their nearest
neighbor, the most promising young
man around, and the playmate and
schoolmate and dear friend of Mercy,
had gone out in a boat for a day’s
fishing. But he had rowed too far.
A schooner had slipped from behind
an island, a boat been dropped from
her davits filled with dark-faced men.
Mercy had been on the shore with
others and had witnessed it all. And
from that day to this no tidings had
come back of Robert Wade.
Mercy was thinking of her play
mate as she tried to keep the cups
of the men filled, and of the similar
fate that was pending over her dear
ones. And doubtless there would be
bloodshed, for the dear ones would
resist to the last.
For the most part the men ate
noisily, with loud guffaws of enjoy
ment and much rude badinage. The
viands were before them, and they
helped themselves liberally, with
long reachings. It was only the cups
that needed replenishing; but. the
men seemed to throw the contents
down their throats at a single gulp,
and then eri d lustily for more.
Four f ilm's the big pot was refilled
and emptied, fresh coffee being added
with each refilling. But the men's
impatience would not allow for boil
ing, am when hot water was poured
in for the fifth time Mercy bad an
uneasy apprehension that the coffee
was very weak.
Suddenly a cup flew across the
“Ye’d ought to be a boy, and on ship
board.”
Ten minutes later the captain
leaned back, wiping his mouth on the
back of his hand.
“Now, what do ye give us for the
finish?” he called to Mercy. “Have
ye cake and other sweet stuff?”
“Yes, sir, many kinds; and pies
and things fit for a thanksgiving.”
“Well, bring them all on. But
what’s that smoke?” suddenly, and
springing to his feet, he rushed out
side, drawing his sword. When he
came back, a few minutes later, his
eyes were red and angry.
uian t i ten you men to ne care
ful until we had eaten?” he cried.
“Some of ye have dropped fire in
lighting a pipe, and the dry grass is
burning below the barn. If it
spreads, the barn itself may catch,
and then some of the torpid soldiers
may be w-akeful enough to see.
Hurry, now, and get through. The
psalm singers will be here soon, and
we must be ready to invite them on
board. Your carelessness will lose
us part of the feast. Come now,
girl; bring on the sweet things,
quick! quick!”
Mercy ran into the storeroom, re
turning a few minutes later with her
arms straining under a pyramid of
pies. These she hurried along the
table, dropping one before each man.
Then she ran back after more. Oh,
if she could only keep the men feast
ing until the soldiers arrived—and
even more than that, if only the men
in the meeting house would be slow,
slow in discovering the smoke, so the
soldiers could arrive as soon as they.
All of them would believe it was a
raid, with buildings being set on fire,
and would come hurring to the spot.
Fortunately the freebooting captain
himself did not suspect. He had gone
just far enough to see it. was not the
barn, and then the feasting had
tempted him back. He supposed the
fire to be grass burning in some field
beyond.
He did not seat himself again in
his chair, but stood by the table, tak

room, crashing against a looking
glas- and breaking them both.
' To blazes with dishwater,” a man
yelled. “Here, girl, vhat ye got
that’s good to drink—strong?”
“Nothing, sir,” answered Mercy,
keeping her voice steady with an
effort.
“No wine or cider?” threateningly.
“No. The only barrel of cider that
w'e had is is too strong to drink. It is
vinegar now. Father made it for
that.”
“Father made it for ns to drink,”
mockingly. “And vinegar is just
right. Bring in a pitcherful, quick.”
"It is out in the barn.”
“Quick! Didn’t I tell ye!” yelled
the man. “We don't want any pala
vernia.”
Mercy caught up a large pitcher
and hurried out, an eager light com
ing into her eyes. If she was to do
anything, she must do it now. But
what?
As was often the case In rural com
munities, the Standwx'll young people
had some little interest in the farm.
Mercy owned a ca!f and a few of the
chickens and a fi°ld which she some
times gave lu crops and sometimes
left in grass for the hay. The last
season it had been in grass, and her
seven or eight tons of hay now rose
in a large stack on the slope below'
the barn, where it awaited a pur
chaser. With its proceeds she ex
pected to buy two or three more
calves from her father, some English
dress goods from the store, and some
presents for the various members of
the family.
When she left the house her mind
was or, the stack,and her face cleared
of some of its anxiety w'hen she no
ticed the wind blew away from the
barn.
“Ye -was a long time drawin’,"
grumbled the man who wanted his
vinegar, surlily, as she came to him
with the pitcher.
“Vinegar run3 slow when the bung
is small," she answered, “and, be
sides, the pitcher is heavy."
‘‘Lazy steps lag,’ he retorted.
Iiig huge mouthfuls of cake and pie,
and swallowing glass after glass of
the fresh buttermilk that Mercy
brought in. Presently he swung
around.
“Turbell,” he called to the nert
room, “take all your men and gather
up what food ye can find in the house.
Go into the storeroom where the
wench keeps her pies and cakes
Take everything, and all we are leav
ing on the tables. We will have a
few days’ rest from the blackamoor.
Hurry, now, and get them to the
boats, in ease anything might hap
pen; then come back. We will stay
here and watch. The praise-makers
will be here soon.”
Ten minutes and the house had
been stripped of its food; five more,
and there was the sound of voices. *
“Stand by the doors,” ordered the
captain. “When they get close, spring
out on them. Better club every one
into insensibility; they will be easier
carried. ”
“The soldiery,” he tvarned in a
hoarse whisper. “They’re almost
here. What-—”
But the captain was by him with a
bound. The men tumbled after. One
, look was sufficient. The soldiers
were approaching at a run.
To the boats! ' yelled the captain.
“They’re too many for us, and ye
know our fate if captured. Where Is
Wade? Not here? Then Turbell
must have taken him. Run! now!
run! ”
When the soldiers came up pant
ing, the last of the buccaneers were
tumbling into their boats on the
beach. The soldiers fired a volley to
accelerate their movements. As the
echoes died away a gaunt, disheveled
figure crept from under the Standwell
porch. Its eyes were big and hollow,
and there were scars of Ill-usage and
cruelty upon the faee, and one arm
wag in a sling. The people coming
from the meeting house stared in
credulously, then united in a ringing,
welcoming, Joyous shout, of “Robert
Wade! Robert Wade!"—Prank H,

BRYAN A CANDIDATE
Willing to Accep Democratic
Nomination for President
THINKS CHANCES TO WIN GOOD
Mr. Bryan Oft-Repeated Question by
Saying That He Will Accept Dem
ocratic Nomination in 1908—Does
Not Seek Nomination and Will Not
Assume to Decide Question of
Availability.
Lincoln, Neb., ^
Bryan will aecej.* ^'mocratic
nomination for Pres. j8, but
, A 2 x ’
tie will neither ask nOx make a fight
for it. He says that for a year or
more he has been /pressed to answer
the question “Will you accept the
nomination V’ and he believes the
public is entitled to an answer and
to know the position he occupies. The
question that ought to weigh most, he
says, is whether his nomination will
strengthen the Democratic party
more than the nomination of some one
else. Not only will he not seek or
ask for the nomination, but he will
not assume to decide the question of
availability, and if the prize falls to
another he will neither he disappoint
ed or disgruntled. At the same time,
he denies that he has waited this long
in a desire to see .tvnom the Repub
licans are likely to nominate, or to
ascertain the chances of victory.
Mr. Bryan says:
“Now that the eh- lien of 1907 is
past and plans are >ei ig made for
next year’s campaig i, Mr. Bryan
feels that a statement i-; due to the
public. Those who pi for another
candidate arc entit ed to know his
position and.those who favor his nom
ination have a right to demand an
answer to the question so often put
‘Will you accept a nomii nation?’ his
refusal to answer the question has
led to the circulation oi m; y false
reports and unfriendly newspapers
have hiked advantage o. his silence
to misrepresent his attitnj !e.
Will Net Seek Nomination.
‘‘Mr. Bryan will not wash for or
seek a nomination and he "will not as
sume to decide the question of his
avail ability. Tte has l><- .. so *#mnt,v
recompensed by bis pari,/ L>r what
be lias done and for w hr be lias en
deavored to do that be .innot claim
a nomination as a row ird; neither
should his ambition b< c nsidered for
he has had honors enough from his
party to satisfy any reasonable am
bition. The only question that ought
to weigh with the party is whether
the party can be strengthened and
aided more by his nomination than
by the nomination of some one else.
If he can serve the party by being its
candidate, he will accept the commis
sion and make the best fight he can.
If, however, the choice falls upon
another, he will not be disappointed
or disgruntled. His availability is a
question to bo decided not by him, nor
by a few leaders, not even by the
leading newspapers that call them
selves Democratic, but by the voters
of the party and to them, he entrusts
the decision of the question—they
are the Supreme Court in all matters
concerning candidates, as they are in
all matters concerning the platform.
Party Must Depend Upon Its Merits
“He assumes that they will not
select him unless they desire to make
an aggressive fight for the applica
tion of Democratic principles to pre
sent conditions, and he also takes it
for granted that the organization of
the party will be in harmony with the
platform, and will be composed of
men who see political records and
will invite confidence and give assur
ance that a victory, if won, will not
be a barren victory.
“The Republicans must nominate
either a reformer, a stand patter or
one whose position on public ques
tions is unknpwn, and the coprse of
the Democratic y riy should be the
same no matter which element con
trols the Republican convention. The
Democratic party must make the fight
for what it believes. While it ma\
take advantage of Republican mis
takes, it must depend irpon its own
merits for success and not upon the
error of its opponents.
“The action of the Republican con
tention may have its influence in the
determining of the relative availabil
ity of Democratic candidates, but if
ought not to have any influence in
determining the question whether the
one chosen by the Democrats should
accept the nomination. If the rank
and file of the Democratic party de
sire Mr. Bryan to make the race, he
will make it no matter who may be
the Republican nominee.’’

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS
Tells Why “ In God We Trust”
Was Omitted From Coins
SAYS IT IS RANK IRREVERENCE
President Roosevelt Issues Letter
Seating Why “In God Wc Trust,”
Has Been Dropped From Gold
Coins,
Washington, Special.—In answer
to one of the numerous protests
which have been received at the
White House against the new gold
coins which have been coined with
out the words “In (Jod We Trust,”
President Rosevelt has written a
letter which he has made public. The
letter follows:*
“When the question of the new
coinage came up we looked into the
iaw and found there was no warrant
therein for putting ‘In Clod We
Trust ’ on the coins as is the custom,
although without legal warrant had
grown up, however, I might have
felt at liberty to keep the inscrip
tion had 1 approved of its being ow
the coin. But as I did not approve
of it, 1 did not direct that it should
again be put on. Of course the
matter of the law is absolutely in
1110 hands of Congress and any direc
tion of Congress in the matter will
bo immediately obeyed. At present
as L have said there is no warrant
in law for the inscription.
Does No Good.
“My own feeling in the matter is
due to niv very firm conviction that
to put such a motto on coins or to
use it in any kindred manner, not
only does no good, but does positive
barm, and is in effect irreverence,
which comes dangerously close to
sacrilege. A beautiful and solemn
sentence such as the one in question
should be treated and uttered only
with that reverence which necessarily
implies a certa exaltation of spirit.
Any use which tends to cheapen i/
and above all. any use which tend4,
to secure its being treated in a spirit
ot levity is from every standpoint
profoundly to he regretted.
“it is a motto which it is indeed
well to have inscribed on our great
national monuments, in our temples
of justice, in our legislative halls,
nnd iii buildings such as those at
West Point? find Annapolis—-in short
wherever it will tend to arouse and
inspire a lofty emotion in those who
look thereon. But it seems to me
eminently unwise to cheapen such a
motto by use on coins, just as it
would be to cheapen it by use on
postage stamps or in advertisements.
Source of Jc:t and Ridicule.
“As regards the use of coinage we
have actual experience by which to
go. In all my life I have never heard
any human being speak reverently of
this motto on the coins or show any
signs of its having appealed to any
high emotion in him, but I have liter
ally hundreds of times heard it used
as ; n occasion of. and incident to
the sneering ridicule which it is above
all things undesirable that so beau
tiful and exalted a phrase should ex
cite.
“For example throughout the long
contest extending over several de
cades on the free coinage question the
existence of this motto on the coins
was a constant source of jest and rid
icule, and this was unavoidable. Ev
ery one must remember the innumer
able cartoons and articles based on
phrases like ‘ Tn God We Trust for
the eight cents,’ ‘In God We Trust
for Hie short weight,’ ‘In God We
Trust for the thirty-seven cents we
do not pay,’ and so forth and so
1 orfli. Surely I am within bounds
when I say that a use of the phrase
which invites constant levity of this
type is most undesirable. If Con
gress alters the law and directs me
to replace on the coins the sentence
in question, the direction will be im
mediately put into effect, but I very
sincerely hope that the religious seut
timent of the country, the spirit of
reverence in the country will prevent
any such action being taken.

Enjoined From Counting Prohibition
Election.
Decatur, Ala., Special.—M. F.
Woodward, a liquor dealer of Deca
