"The strangest money I ever saw,"
said a dmmmer for a Main street house,
"was hi the moentaia: districts of Ken

ing my semiannual toor through this
district, aad I stopped one day at a lit
tle grocery aad saloon. While I waa
there a Ms hesfcy menntaiaeer eatered
the place and called for a drink. As he
finished galpiag it down he reached into
a big balky pocket and drew forth, what
looked to be a coooskiH. He laid the
skin oa the coaster, the barkeeper took
the skin, and openings drawer healed

the rabbit skin and started to the front

He received a big twist of long green,,

"I became interested and engaged the
proprietor in conversation. He told me
that sometimes he would go months
without seeing any real money, and
that the moantaiaeers ased the skins in
all kinds of trades, such, as buying
horses, eta. He said that four times a
year a niae Bayer rroca -Liexmgtoa or

It was not a bad night at sea, bat it
was aot a. good one either. The sea war
smooth and the wind was light, bat the
sky was overcast and there was a low
Iyiag haze which narrowed thee horizon:
dowa to a circle half a mile ia dfamo
$er. Tha water ever the shia's side
looked black and oily, aad here aad
there when a lazy crest resected the
beams of oae of the vessel's lights the
glitter of it was lurid and balef bL On
deck: all was silent save for the occa
sional ni tempered comments of the first
mate, who was ea watch and had a
Bailor's disposition toward thick weath
er.
"What in Axriea is that slatting
ahoat so on. the main topsail yard?
Here, yoa, fumble up and what's
adrift"
His words were addressed to a tall,
maecnlar boy who had been leaning
against the rail aad scaring thoughtful
ly into-the see. Ferris James had been
ia a dark reverie- He was not a happy
boy, for everything seemed to him to
have gone wrong. His father, once a
man cf means, had died bankrapt, leav
ing aim absolutely penniless. Ferris
was then glad to secure a berth, as an
or Binary seaman aboard the ship Glezr
dower, outward bound for Bombay. It
was while he was meditating on. his
changed circumstances that he received
the curt order of the mate and respond
ed with the mstinctive "Aye, aye, sir."
The boy,, strong and active, with the
alert sinews of IT years, danced up the
ratlines like a lithe cat and was scon
oa t upon the yard, which had the swing;
of a gigantic seesaw. Ferris examined
one-half foot by foot till he found him
self on. the extreme end of the yardarm.
A moment later he never knew how
it happened the yard seemed to slip
from under him, and he shot downward
with a sudden plunge into tbe sea. He
barely bad time to utter a startled cry
before the waters closed over him.
When: he came to the surface,, he saw
soraetbmg round and white floating
near him. He grasped at it and found
that it was a life buoy which had been
thrown from: the skip- The vessel her
self was fast slipping into the impene
trable gloom. He knew that a beat
would be lowered, but he doubted that
ifc would find him oa such a thick night.
After a time he began to emit at intervals
the saiIorrs farreaching "Aho-o-o-yl"
There was no response out of the pitch
like bhrefoMy,. and when three-quarters
ef an hour had passed Ferris, with a
strange feeling of indifference, stopped
shouting.
A feeling of irresistible lassitude stole
over the boy. and a weird numbness
crept through hi3 limbs. He felt as if he
were overpowered by sleep, and twist
ing his arms in the life line of the buoy,
which he had managed to get over his
head and down under his arms, he al
lowed his head to fall on. one side, and
he lost consciousness He made no re
sistance, for he felt that such a life as
: his was not worth struggling for. He
remembered dimly afterward that his
last thought was, "I wonder where 111
wake up2"
Very much to his own surprise, he
awoke in the same nlace adrift in the
north Atlantic with only a circle of
cork and canvas between him and the
great circle of eternity. For a few mo
ments he rested languidly, scarcely
moving even his hands. Then a spark
of hope fired him with a desire to"Ecan
the sea. He raised his head and slowly
swept a gaze around his narrow hori
zon. He smiled at his own lack of en
thusiasm when he apathetically discov
ered a bark not mere than, a mile away.
The bark looked miserable. Her spars
were all awry, and her rigging was
full of slack lines. She steered an er
ratic course, under scant canvas, and
altogether showed evidence of utter de
moralization. "There must be a sick or mutinous
crew aboard there," muttered Ferris.
"I wonder which?"
The thought that a vessel might pa Se
near him in his desperate plight gave
him a sudden desire to live, or at least
aot to perish, so miserably. He began to
think how he could make some signal
that might be, seen aboard the bark
when she erratically changed her course
directly toward him and came splashing
cum bronsly across the dun: gray sea like
a great wounded bird.
Presently the vessel was not more
than 300 yards away, and the boy raised
ais voice in afar cry, "Bark aho-o-o-yl"
Oat of the temgle of wreckage forward-was
a raised face, which even at
that dietaace looked pale and haggard.
Its owner peered a moment over tbe wa
ters and then waved his hand. The next
instant two- or three other forms ap
peared oa the bark's forecastle, and she
shifted her helm. Ferris saw that all
her boats save a small dingy at the port
qaarter davits were stove in, and pres
eatlyhe saw four seamen: slowly and la
away the dingy. As
they earns alongside the boy they gazed

When the maa: ceaiied talking; a dry
sob shook his frame,, vrhlle somaof his
saipmates turned and scanned the hori
zon with pallid faces and clinched teeth.
The whole speechless horror ef the
crew's experience rose before Ferris
mind in a picture of m isery. The next
moment he waa transfcrmed from an in
different boy toahopcJfal mea. Here
was work for him to ; do, and in Irving
for others he wonld ftffl it worth while
to live for himself. 1
"Your compass is h good one,, isn't
It?" he asked,
"Yes, itrs good encngh," answered
"Is there a chronometer aboard?"
"Certainly."
"Is it running:" -
"Yea, I kept it woemd up. I don't
know what for.11
"Charts and sextant all right?
"Yes, but what do you. me&n? Can
yea"
ttYes, I can I" exclaimed Ferris. "I
can navigate.'
The glow of crimson that sprang into
the pallid faces was like the first sun
light after an arctic winter. For an in
stant all were silent Tften the men fell
to laughing, crying and embracing one
another like a lot of hysterical girls.
"Will you take command of this
berk, sir?" asked Hulkins as soon as he
could master his emotion.
"Fmno sir,"" said Ferris,
just an ordinary seaman but I'll
"ITi

"Hurrah!" cried the Irrew.
"Now, lads,", said Hulkins, "let's

.aye. ayei ' was teo wminsr re

rigging.
Ferris went "into the .captain's cabin
and found the chronometer running.
As a measure of precaution he wound
it himself and then got ootc.be sextant
and chart Pr&seatly bd went on deck
to take a morning observation for longi
tude. At noon Ferris got his latitude
and found that the course for Fayal,
one of the Azores, was east by north.
The wind held fair, and" under sech can
vas as the little-crew waa able to set
the bark made a comfortable five knots
an hour directly on her course. It was
Just after sunrise on the morning' of the
third day that one of the men cried,
"Landlm!"
Four hours later the bark was riding
at anchor in Fayal roads, and Ferris
felt as if his occupation was gone. But
no officer could be obtained at that port,
and it became Ferris duty after the
necessary repairs had'beeni made to ship
five seamen and continue; the voyage to
Liverpool, for which port the vessel
was bound.
On tbe arrival of the bark at its des
tination great was the Joy of the own
ers, who had given her up for lost
They rewarded Ferris with a snag sum
of money and made him second mate of
the vesseL Ferris invested his cash in
the bark's next voyage, which, brought
him a substantial profit Five years
later he was a shipowner' himself and
in a fair way to become rich. He often
looked back to that gloomy morning
when he floated OH Qr life baoy ia the
heart of the north Atlantis and wished
to die.
