I novcr know It until now I uuinud you for a kindly litmbaud aHhoru." "AHhoro and nt nca aro two dlltor ent places," replied tlio captain ot tlie Uriah U. OiiHtor.

That's my experience, and 80 years nt wen, man and hoy, hasn't Inclined mo to dlsputo facts ah they stand." "I call It cruelty," tsald his wlfo without heat, for Hho was n woman of smdno.s.1. yiu! knew the cnute of that hiiiIiiuss, as did her hUKlmiu), but It was never mentioned hotween them by a tacit agreement. Twenty-llvo years of tuarrloil life had remitted In a lino endurauco of marital affection the Hklpper's long absences from homo might have accounted for that In some nieitBure. Tho two wero good frlendH, and hick frlng between tlioin wns a thing unknown. There had Keen olio child very many years ago, but It only raised Its voice once In the great world and befoio the mother's heart hud iiulckeucd In response tho voice wns stilled forever. The Lord had given; Ilo had also taken awity, and Mrs. Ilnpshott endeavored to say "Blessed bo tho name ,of the Lord" with a good grace, though at times tho saying was hard. r To lililo his emotion tho captain throw gruff ness Into his voice, "I'm thinking I made a mis take In bringing you to sea, Iiixh," he snld. "It Isn't a place for women, least of nil softhearted women such bh you are. IJut you begged and prayed, and tho owners scorned willing " "II got to ho lonely watting there ashoro, Hi ram," sho said simply. "It was at nights, when wlion the wind howled and tho snow fell every where 1 saw other women hnpny and coinpan lonable, with their men about thoni; and It It wns more that) I could stand. It would have been easier If If thore'd If Ainos had lived." Ho un derstood, and his rough gnarled hand crept out along the rail until It rested on hers with tho pressing of sympathy. N Jton.,,.., i v '.'Hlrnm, I want to ask you a favor. ' "It's Christinas day In two days' tlmo. Aro you going to give the men a Christinas a proper Christmas?" Iliipshott opened his mouth and laughed, a laugh that wns pregnant with cynicism. , "Give them a ChrUtmns a proper ChrlstmnsI By which I supposo you mean u holiday and .Christmas fare?" Why, lass, they wouldn't know what to do with it If they had It. Besides, wo nren't tlttcd for Christmas meals. 'Micro's n brace of chickens In the coop that'll uiako our dinner that day I've been saving them up on purpose; but beyond the pig for'ard " "Give them a proper Christinas, lllram," plead ed Mrs. Ilnpshott giunestly. "It's u wonderful 'day ashore, though u sad one. That Is, for me," she nmeuded, "I always get thinking of tho Child and of how happy His mother must hnvo been, though she lost Him, too; she lost Him." Hho thought tho wound was fairly heated, but ,tlio hot teurs gushed to her faded, pathetic eyes. Unpshott hlniBolf turned away, for ho know tho ache ut her heart; It coiipanloned tho void at his own. "All handi muster aft," cried Captain Ilnpshott. Tho men slouched along to tho afterdeck nud grouped themselves under tho poop break. Thu trioon sprang up from tho blackening sea, and 'nhono redly upon them; a full round ball. It Bliowed sullen, despondent faces, faces without a lliope. Mrs. Hapshqtt drew near to tho plnrnll Inml looked down, her heart welled full of pity. Sho had done something hho hud given theso 'overworked beasts of burden one day's rest at least. "It's stand by till midnight tomorrow,", said the skipper In n voice that he fondly hoped be '.truyajd no' thiiim. "There's a holiday from uow on You'll toko your wheels and ool;oui nj tiMinl: loyOliUh4lkrA,,1,,S Understand?" A faint whisper seemed to pass through tho ranks. Ono or two of tho faces lit up suddenly, sloughed off their assumed age, and became young and comely once more. It was Chrlstnias eve, and thoughts flew with lightning speed, p long forgotten homes, where Christmas had been a festival of delight In those bygone days before tho, hungry sea claimed them n Its own. "You've got to thnnk my wife for tbnt," went on Ilnpshott. "She's naked mo to give you a Christmas n Christmas you'll have. Make tho most of It. There'll be a fresh mess served for dinner tomorrow, and there'll be grog for nil hands nt eight bells. Thnt's nil dismiss." Tho men broke up, walked forward slowly, then, us If moved by n common Impulse, they came back. "Ve vlsb der lady for to dank,'' grunted a Ger man snllmaker, fingering his cap'. "Hey, boys, vnt you says? Alnd't It right?" "Yes Ja dot's It, Hans," came tho replies. Mrs. Ilnpshott was awaro of a strange com (ires slon In her thront; her eyes smarted. A stiffen ing of the crew wns followed by something fnlnt ly resembling a cheer; then the men went forwnrd slouchlngly. Their tongues were busy nnd they wondered. Still more did they wonder Christinas day When, two bells having sounded lift, Mrs. Ilnp shott appealed among them, her arms piled high with gifts. From the commencement of the voy age her nimble hands had been busy with pins and wool, and now there was something tor them all, warm caps that completely covered a man's head and held him Immune from frostbite In tho most rigorous weather; mufflers, jerseys; not one was forgotten. Even tho greasy rook, a man of foul speech and unclean habits, found himself tho possessor of a sleeved waistcoat knit ted out of tho llecclost wool. ' "I hope you'll have a merry Christmas, men," said Mrs. Ilnpshott, and they cheered her they wero gaining practice until the Idle jnrds seemed to swing In answer. Dinner time came round, uud steamlnr; kits wore passed Into tho forecastle, kits that con tained snvpry Joints from the ijorker killed over night. Tho men ate and wero thankful, but when n monster plum pudding nppenred they stared with awe-struck eyes. "Don't thank me, thnnk tho missus," said tho cook, who brought tho duff In person. "Sho mado It herself Inst night; mixed tho whole bloomin' thing with her own hands. Ain't It a 'oner?" It wns a very giant among puddings, nnd as toothsome as it was vast. Came, In the midst of the rovols, a call aft, where the steward stood nt the capstan with u dipper In his hand. Each man. presenting a pnunlkln, received a tot of sterling grog, for Captain Ilnpshott had resolved to do tho thing well now he was embarked upon It; no half-water measures for him. Each nnift. receiving his nllowauce, raised hts drhrttlng ves sel In the direction ot Mrs. Ilnpshott, who wns watching them from above, and drank n silent tonst to her and to tho memory of Chrlstmases past. So tho wonderful tiny passed away and once again night drooped down upon the sea. and to wnlk briskly along the deck until sho reached the forecastle. Sho could not hnvo ex plnlned to herself whnt Impulse took her there; It wns something outside herself, some strange power working detached, yet compelling her to obey Its behests. She crouched up In the bows, watching the sparkle of water spring gurgling from the fore foot, watching the frothing bubbles stream away on either side the black bluff bow. Vainly she shook herself and assured her own heart of its foolishness. Vainly she tried to drag herself away from her self-appointed post. The nlr wns chill with the beginnings of the dnwn wind ; she shivered repeatedly nnd remained. ' Unprofitable. Tommy Out of a Job? Jimmy Yes. The boss said ho was losln' money on the things I was mak ing. Tommy AVnsn't there anything olso you could do around the plnce? Jimmy I think not.

New York World. Mrs. Ilnpshott lifted her eyes and searched the sea's far rim. Her gaze returned, only to bo lifted again; suddenly she stiffened where she .stood, nnd her cars strained. She sprung upon the rnll and stood there erect, her eyes peering Intently. Was It fancy or could she actually see something? There, 'In the middle distance n veritable speck In the waste of waders was It a shadow, was .It tho iln of a lurking shark, or was It was It 7' Two seconds she looked, then she ran aft, the men watching her in wonder.

Tho bklpper had awakened und, missing her, bad made for the deck. The fnlnt streaks In tho sky showed him a strange tlgure, clad In a gaudy sleeping suit such as sailors love. Mrs. Hapshutt clutched at his arm and held tightly. , "What's what?" Ho had been thinking what a fool ho would seem If tho story wero over told of the day uow past, anil his manner was ungra cious. "That I" Her linger was outstretched and quiv ering, hut nil beyond was still dark. "A sea bird your nerves are on edge," he told her. Mrs. Ilnpshott tlrew herself to the taffrall and leaned out, listening. Tho wind wus walling ngutn; tho ship had almost lost her way; sho was only crawling through thu water to the accom paniment of Happing canvas aloft. "Hlrnm, It wasn't a sea bird I" Tho woman's voice wns full of something to which her husband could put im name. "It must hnvo been what eUe could It bo, lass?"

It was Captain Ilnpshott himself who sprang Into tho boat that was hastily lowered; It was he who urged the rowers onward. Mrs. Ilnpshott, now tluit the thing wns done, wns possessed by a curious calmness, that yet held expectancy something strange wns happening out there be yond the range of her vision; but nil wns work ing together for good. She- tried to focus the binoculars on the boat and on the fragment that floated ahead, but she was all unused to the tnsk, and could make out nothing but u blur. Tho boat turned hung motionless; those aboard were busy at some tnsk. Then the oars shot out like the limbs of a gigantic spider; Mrs Hapshott's heart beat faster and faster so fast that only with dlfllculty could she draw her breath. "Shall we haul you up, sir?" hailed tho mnte, reaching far outboard, and from Cnptaln Hap shott's lips enme a hoarse, unreal cry that Jones took us mi alllrmntlve. Tho boat shot alongside; still tho captain's wife did not move from her position by the mlzzen innst. Tho tackles wero hooked on, men swnrmed up i hem pud added their weight to the falls; the boat leaped upward, was swung Inboard. "Bear n hand here," she heard her husband .say, anil then the mists vanished from her eyes and she saw clearly. Captain Ilnpshott was com ing aft, talking earnestly to the mate. And In his nrniH'hr- carried a little child 1 Mrs. Ilnpshott acted exactly as If she had been expecting this gift from the sea. She held out her arms and took tho walling nil tc. hushing It deftly against that broad maternal bosom of hers, coaxing it, smiling down Into Its crumpled face. It mattered nothing to her how the babo had conn. It wns there; Its tiny lingers around her linger; Its little bend nestled ngalnst her heart. "A dead woman and n living child no signs of Identification." The words cnino fo her tltfully, forcing themselves through tho strange, hallowed Joy that tilled her being. "No telling what's hap pened must be wlfo of somo skipper solo sur vivors who knows? The woman's dead, poor thing but the child seems strong enough will be Inter." "If we'd been sailing yesterdny we'd have passed It In the dark likely," said the mate; "we'd never hnvo seen It. God! look nt Mrs. Ilnpshott; she's grown younger."

The sage advice of Greeley was nev er more applicable than It Is today In Alaska, observes the Alaska Capital. What the country needs Is tho op timisms of youth, coupled with nn ad herence to the advice of Dr. Kilgor of Trinity college, North Carolina, when ho said: "Young man, the sages will tell you to be prudent; prudence be longs to the daring of youth tho spirit of adventure that will develop In dividuality." Iteduco this philosophy to Alaskan terms, nnd we find that the territory just now needs youth to finish tho structure upon the foundation laid by those wonderful pioneers whom we reverence nnd admire.
