Barton, Sailor ||
By Frank H. Sweet.
i (Copyright, 1902, by Dal'y Story Pub. Cat |C
The great vessel was moving for
ward at quarter speed, the bows only
breaking the water into small rip
ples which gurgled along her sides
and quickly smoothed out astern. All
around was darkness, thick. Impene
trable, oppressive, not even the faint
twinkle of a star relieving its envel
oping sameness.
On the upper deck stood the cap
tain with several of his officers. Near
them a sailor was winding the frayed
end of a halyard.
The captain held a night glass, and
from time to time raised it to his eyes,
but only to lower it quickly and im
patiently. In that darkness the glass
was of little use.
For an hour they had been running
at slow speed, cautiously, and with
eyes and ears strained, as though
waiting for something to slip out of
the darkness or for some signal or
sign. But still there wrere only sea
and the black wall of silence; as far
as appearances went they might have
been a thousand miles from land.
Another ten minutes, and the strain
grew more tense. All over the ship |
were eyes watching and ears listen
ing, on the lower decks, through the
ports, the pilot's window, from the
shrouds even. The secret was an open
one, and all the ship knew that close
on the starboard here, almost touch
ing them perhaps, wras a low. hostile
shore, w'here were eyes as vigilant and
keen as their own, and that, were their
presence known or suspected, the
mission of the ship would be frus
trated.
“If only they would show a light.or
do something to indicate their where
abouts,’’ the captain muttered for the
twentieth time.
“But they don't know we’re here,
sir,’’ observed one of the younger of
ficers.
‘‘Oh, I know they don’t, of course,’’
testily. “If they did, they would. But
what are we to do? We’ve got to get
away from here before daylight.”
“Maybe a boat-” began another
officer; but the captain cut him short.
“Wouldn’t do at all under the cir
cumstances,’’ he declared, “the shore
may be ten rods away, and it may be
two miles, and we don't know the ene
my's position. A boat would make
more or less noise, and in a haphaz
ard search for a landing would be sure
to be heard. Captain Bixby is of
course at his old camp on the other
side of the river, a mile in the inter
ior. If he could show a light for an
instant, we could make directly for it,
some one slip from the boat near the
shore and steal through the under
growth to the camp, A few seconds
would acquaint Bixby with the fact
that Gen. Clay is fifty miles up the
coast, marching toward him, and be
fore morning he could have his men
and the women and children well on
the way toward safety. So far the
enemy have counted on starvation as
an easy and effectual means of sub
jugation. Neither they nor Bixby
suspect the General is even in the
country. But by to-morrow night the
enemy's scouts will discover his pres
ence. and then-well, it will be a
quick rush and anotiier day of horror
for the people who read the news
papers. This sort of foe doesn't know
the meaning of civilized warfare.”
The sailor looked up from the hal
yard he was winding. “I’m a good
swimmer, sir,” he said, significantly.
The captain regarded him keenly
for a moment, then shook his head.
“You don’t understand these South
ern waters,” he answmred. "They are
full of sharks. You wouldn’t live to
get a boat’s length from the ship.”
“But there are many lives in dan
ger over yonder,” the sailor urged,
“and some of them are women and
children. I’m only one. Perhaps I
might get through. If I did. I’d show
a light for one instant to let you know
that everything was all right and that
you could put on steam to join Gen.
Clay and hurry to meet us.”
But the captain again shook his
head decisively. “There's isn’t a
.. . l . e ' *>"”1 .! ! 'AiSumi
"I'm a good swimmer, sir,” he said
significantly.
chance of succeeding," he said; “if
there were, you should go. But I
don't feel that I have the right to
sacrifice a life uselessly. No, we will
cruise back and forth until two hours
before daylight; then, if no means
have been found to communicate with
Blxby, we will put on full steam to
join Gen. Clay. If we can get a re
cuforcement of a few hundred men,
wa will hasten back and effect a
landing. We may be In time to help
Btxby that way, either by driving the
enemy back or holding them in check
until the General arrives.”
The sailor did not answer. And ap
parently he thought the halyard suf
ficiently wound, for as the captain
ceased speaking he walked aft. But
he did not seek other work; instead,
he slipped down to the lower deck
and continued aft until he found a
place near the rail where he was alone.
It took but a moment to fasten the
end of a rope into one of the rail
rings, test it. and drop the other end
overboard. It was not long enough to
reach the water, he knew; but he had
no time to seek another. However, it
was even shorter than he supposed,
t
When he rose he was far from the j
vessel.
for when he reached the end of it, op
posite a circle of light which came
from one of the ship's port holes, he
found the water many feet below.
But he was too expert a diver and
swimmer not to know how to enter
the water from that distance without
making a splash. Letting himself
hang rigidly at full length, with his
toes bent downward and close together,
to form a point, he released the rope
and shot into the water like a wedge,
leaving scarcely a ripple upon the
surface. When he rose he was twenty
yards from the vessel.
Presently he glanced over his shoul
der at the few lights about the ship’3
decks, and the two or three that
showed through her ports, wondering
if they would be significant to the
enemy. But he decided that they would
not. Most of the ship’s lights had
been extinguished, and the few re
maining would doubtless be thought
lights of their own boats or of some
wandering fisher or sponger.
An hour later the captain and hia
officers were at the same place on deck,
still anxious and undecided. Suddenly
one of them uttered a low exclama
tion and pointed into the darkness.
“Look yonder at that light,’’ he cried,
“waving as though it might be a sig
nal. I wonder what it can be
not Captain Bixby.”
“No,” said the captain with puz
zled speculation in his voice. "It's
not far enough away. There, it has
disappeared.” Then a sudden, com
prehending, exultant ring came into
his voice as he demanded: “Where's
that sailor. Barton? Some of you go
and find him. quick!”
Two of the officers hurried away.
Ten minutes later they returned. “We
have had the entire vessel searched,
sir,” one of them reported, “but Bar
ton is not to be found anywhere. He
must have fallen overboard.”
“Dropped overboard, you mean,”
said the captain dryly. “He’s slip
ping through the underbrush toward
Bixby's camp by this time. Go tell
the engineer to put on all steam.
We’ll get to Gen. Clay as quick as we
can now.”
“THE WHITE MANS BURDEN."
Colored Trooper in the Philippines
Credited with TVlity Itemnrk.
Peter MacQueen, the Boston lectur
er, whose fund of anecdotes appears
to be as limitless as his travels and
experiences, tells the following story
of a bit of humor which flashed out
on the firing line in the Philippines.
“A colored trooper, whose horse had
been shot under him in one of the
skirmishes near Manila, passed me
on his way to the rear. He was car
rying his saddle and the entire outfit,
including his rifle, on his back, and
was perspiring heavily in the hot
sun.
“ 'That’s quite a load you've got
there,' said I as he reached me.
*' 'Dat's wot it are, boss,’ said he,
grinning. ‘I tell you, wot, boss, this
yar carrying of the “white man’s bur
den" ain't no easy job.’ ’’—New York
Tribune.
Memorial Window Olebrltlen.
George K. Sims, the English play
wright and novelist, published a pro
test against depicting the features of
Dr. Johnson in a memorial window.
Mr. Sims wants to know where the
line is to be drawn in regard to such
use of modern celebrities in church
windows. “We might ere long,’’ he
says, “have a pro-Boer philanthropist
presenting his particular church with
a stained glass window in which Judas
Iscariot w ill be presented with the 'ea
tures (and the eyeglass) of Joseph
Chamberlain.’’
It is vain giving men their rights
unless you give them righteousness.
The soundest fruit will be on the
tempest-torn tree.
SAYS FRENCHMEN ARE NOT LATINS
In O.'lsln They Ar< Marh l.lkn Amtrl
cans, Uaoluei M. I.e Roil.
M. Hughes Le Roux, the celebrated
French author, journalist, dramatist
and orator, lectured on a recent after
noon In the Auditorium of Houston
Hall before the Cercle Francals of the
University of Pennsylvania. His sub
ject was "Les fils de France, que fer
ont Us?”
"The people of France, said M. Le
Roux, "are not a Latinized people as
some have declared. In traveling
through Normandy. Brittany and va
rious other provinces of France I fend
no strict distinguishing characteris
tics or customs which would Indicate
I^atin origin, with the possible excep
tion of Avergine, where the women
wear the same kind of jewels as the
Romans did. France is similar to
America or any other nation in its or
igin. Just as in chemistry various
elements are mixed and heated to
gether In a crucible until a residue of
a shining golden amalgamation is pre
cipitated. so France and other nations
are amalgamated from various for
eign elements and peoples.
“Along with its similarities to Am
erica in origin there can be noticed
a striking difference in the character
of the two peoples. Americans have
more strength of will. Frenchmen
more sensibility and refinement.
To illustrate this he gave as an
example a race at the last Olympian
games in Athens, where he said: "A
Frenchman outran by his heart a
German and an American both run
ning by their legs.”
NOT A BADGE OF A POLICEMAN.
Officer's I.oug Hair Mystified an Intoxi
cated Woman.
George Innes, Jr., the son of the
great landscape painter, tells a story
on himself with great delight. Like
Peter Newell, he has been connected
with town government in New Jersey.
He served on the town council in
Montclair—in fact, he was the head
of the police commission—the chief of
police.
“In this capacity,” he says. “I had
about six policemen under me, whom
I sent forth to do their duty. I used
also to go about myself in search of
wrongs to be righted and nuisances to
be abolished. One day I saw coming
up the main street a woman very
much the worse for drink. 1 said to
her: 'My good woman, have you no
place to hide yourself in. no home
where you can conceal your shame?’
“ ’Share—and who the divll may
you be?’ was her retort.
“ ‘Never mind who I am.’ I answer
ed. You will obey me and go home,
or I will arrest you.’
“‘You arrist me!’ she cried in as
tonishment. ‘How kin you arrest me
whin you ain't no perliceraon?’
“‘But I am a policeman,' said I,
with dignity.
“She looked at me a moment in as
tonished silence. Then she said:
'Thin, if you are a perlicemon, fur
hivin's sake go home and git yer hair
cut!”—New York Tribune.
Not So Anxioni to Go.
“1’ncle Sambo," when alone in his
cabin, often prayeo to be delivered
from all his earthly sorrows, asking
God “to send the angel Gab’ei down
to take poo’ ole Sambo out'n all his
troubles, right up to heb’n.”
Some boys “on mischief bent” heard
the old man’s prayer one night, and,
after waiting until he was ready for
bed. knocked at the door. “Who dar?”
asked Uncle Sambo, in a startled
voice.
"It’s the Angel Gabriel," was the
answer.
"Who dar. I say?” repeated Sambo,
hustling around inside the cabin.
“The Angel Gabriel, whom the Lord
has sent down in his chariot to take
poor Uncle Sambo up to heaven,
where he ’ll see no more trouble.”
"W-e-11, boss, you jes’ tell Massa
God ;at Sambo ain’t been heah in
tree weeks!” and crawling under his
rude bed, he lay there fearing and
trembling, while the boys kept knock
ing and urging him to get ready for
his ascension at once. But he kept
silent. He was not so anxious to go,
afwr all.
I.arge British Families.
Mrs. Mary Lancaster, who was bur
led recently at Lancaster, In England,
left 110 grandchildren and fifty great
grandchildren. Around her grave
were 100 descendants, relates the
lyondon Chronicle. But a still more
remarkable case is recorded by Lord
George Lyttleton in his “Miscella
neous Works," in an account of a tour
in Wales. He mentions the death of
a Welsh farmer near Festiniog at the
ripe age of 105. The Welshman had
married three times. By his first
wife he had thirty children. Not
deterred by this family, he married
again, and had ten by his second. By
his third wife he brought the children
to forty-four, the last child being
eighty-one years younger than the
eldest. At the farmer’s funerjd there
was an attendance of 800 deseeijiants.
A few families like that and Canada
would probably no longer call for
settlers.
The Ceremony of Knighthood.
At the beginning of the eleventh
century when a man. for some noble
deed, was dubbed a knight, the cere
mony of knighting him began by giv
ing him a pair of spurs. The overlord
In conferring the title attached the
spurs himself to the heels of the new
ly created noble and then gave him his
helmet, his horse, his sword and hit
lance.
One way a woman has of confessing
her age without meaning it is being
extremely deferential to old women.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON V.. MAY 4; ACTS 11:19-30—
THE CHURCH AT ANTIOCH.
Golden Text—“The Hand of the Lord
Was With Them: and a Great Numbs:
Believed and Turned Unto the Lord”
Acte 11:31—The First Gentile Church.
I. The First Oentile Chureh.-Vs. 19-21.
Antioch whs so named by Seleucus Nlk
ator, Alexander's greatest general, who
built the city, 300 B. C., in memory of his
father Antlochus. It was situated in west
ern Syria on the river Orontes. sixteen
miles from its mouth, as London is sit
uated on the Thames. It was near the
northeastern angle of the Mediterranean,
and about three hundred miles north of
Jerusalem.
It was the capital of Syria at this time,
the seaport rival of Damascus on the
desert. Gibbon estimates its population
at this time at live hundred thousand,
making it the third city in the Roman
Knipire. only Rome and Alexandria be
ing greater. Four or live miles from the
Cuy were the famous pleasure grounds
of Daphne, known all over the world,
where was a temple to Apollo and his
colossal statue, "where, under the climate
of Syria and the wealthy patronage of
Rome, all that was beautiful In nature
and art had created a sanctuary for a
perpetual festival of vice.”—Conybeare
and Howson.
Formation of the Church at Antioch
19. "How they which were scattered
abroad." The thread of the narrative re
turns to the persecution described in
Acts S: 1-4, in order to show a new line
of influence proceeding from that event.
The authorities tried to blow out the gos
pel lire kindled by the Holy Spirit, but
it only made it burn the brighter. They
iHshed the fire, but it only sent the
sparks over the world. "Preaching the
word to . . Jews only.’’ According
to the practice and feelings of the Jew
ish Christians when they left Jerusa
lem. The new impulses broadening the
church had not yet reached them (Acts
1:8). They began at Jerusalem, but had
not yet begun to practice the rest of
Christ's command.
20. The hand (the symbol oi powei
and of work of the Lord." The head of
the church. Thus "a great number be
lieved. The Lord proved by his power
In touching their hearts and renewing
their lives that he wanted these people
in his church. They were received ap
parently without contention or opposi
tion, as the logical result of their be
lieving and the divine favor of the plan.
Thus was founded the tlrst Gentile
ctiurch. The broadening of the chureh
for which previous events had been pre
paring had now actually begun. The
church grew to be a center of religious
power and influence next to Jerusalem,
and in some respects far greater.
Why This Church Grew. It was found
ed by strong, earnest, tested, devoted,
large-hearted, energetic men,—men who
had endured persecution for their Mas
ter's sake, who had resisted temptation,
who had felt the power of tne Holy Spir
it. Such founders exert a mighty and
enduring influence upon the community
they found.
i. The Fellowship of the Churches —
Vs. 22-24. 21. "Then tidings (the report
concerning) these things came unto
. . . Jerusalem.” They were doubt
less received with Joy mingled with fears
as to what the outcome might be. Some
would be prepared .or the new regime by
the conversion of Cornelius and Peter’s
vision: others would see In it Impending
disaster, and the ruin of the new relig
ion.
A Wise Movement, men me enun-n .<<
Jerusalem *IUI a very wise and right
thing: "they sent forth Barnabas' <1> to
learn the exact truth about the reports.
(2) To prevent any abuses or discord from
arising between the Jewish and Gentile
converts, of which the sequel shows the
reel danger (Acts 15: 1. 25). The difficult
question of eating together could not but
arise. (3) To encourage the new disciples
in everything that was good. i4) To warn
them against error, if error there was.
"As far as Antioch.” Implying that he
visited other churches on the way.
This wise action of the early churen Is
peculiarly needed in these changing times,
when new departures are being made,
new forms of truth are being investi
gated.
What lie Saw. 22. "When he came,
and had seen the grace of God,” as shown
in the converts, their changed character,
their numbers, their good deeds. There
were doubtless many Imperfections In
these disciples, but which shone bright
est and was seen first was that the grace
of God had wrought in them.
Mow He Felt. "Was glad." One test
of character is what a person rejoices In.
There is nothing worthier of great joy
than the conversion of men: (1) joy at
their deliverance from sin: (2) at their
escape from the awful punishment of sin:
(3l joy for the great blessings to which
they are saved; (4) Joy for the good in
fluences they may exert; (5) joy for the
new stars in the crown of our Redeemer.
What He Did. "Kxhorted them all.”
The word is the same as that from whloh
the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, Is named.
It means much more than exhort or com
fort. He strengthened. encouraged,
stimulated them by Ills gift of eloquence.
‘ And much people was added unto the
Lord.” Through the labors ot such a good
man. All his exhortations had the pow
er of a good man behind them.
III. Paul comes to the Assistance of
the Antioch Church.—Vs. 25, 26. 24. "Then
departed Barnabas.” The great success
of itarnabas brought more work than he
could do alone, more open doors than he
could enter, more opportunities than he
could use. The fields were white to the
harvest, and the laborers were few.
There was need of another element, of
instruction and training In doctrine, than
Barnabas' special talents would provide.
And Barnabas was wise enough to see
this, and good enough to provide for it."
“To Tarsus, for to seek Saul.”
Christians. "The disciples were called
Christians first in Antioch.” Not by the
Jews who would not recognize Jesus as
Christ, that -Is, Messiah, but by the peo
ple outside the disciples. ”lt belongs to
popular slang.” Ramsay. ‘‘To the keen
witted populace of Antioch already fa
mous for their bestowal of nicknames.”—
Knowllng. So “Methodist” and "Puritan”
were names first given in ridicule, and
then transfigured by those who bore them.
Practical. Let us keen Christ's name,
disciples, learners, and the new name
Christian to show that a Christian is
always a learner.
IV. The Famine and the Relief Fund.
—Vs. 27-30. 25. In these days.” While
the church was heint; founded in An
tioch. “Cam. propnets.” Those speak
ing forth God's message.
Fait Merchants Ship* Scarce.

The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways of re
pressing the rale of bad baking pow

ed the groeers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder is
actually prohibited by law. In Ne*
York they seize the unwholesome stuff
and cast It into the river without anv
discussion. The latter way is certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu

twenty cents a pound, or with some
prize, as a temptation to the house
wife.
Consumers can protect meniwura

often deceived by unscrupulous mak
