They ain't enemies of the company, an I wont have them treated that way, see? The new mate glanced quickly aft, but seeing no one on deck he nodded to the skipper and declared that was the way he liked to hear a captain talk. And now, said the skipper, ye turn to an get yer dunnage stowed, an then get to work bendin them royals fore an aft. Well get to Bea before night. My forte is gettiiT away while the breeze holds an on time. A good start an a quick passage, says I.

By noon the royals were sent up and bent and the passengers all aboard. There were several of them. Three were coast traders bound to Rio, the barks destination, and they were of the nondescript dago type small, wiry men, dark hair, dark skin and having the cigarette habit while chattering nervously In bad The oiher two were a stout, florid man, with a clean shaved, clerical looking face, and hia wife. They were evidently either English or American by their speech and gtneial appearance, but long residence in South America had given bpth the air and accent of lassitude to their talk. The man had a way of looking benignly upon every one through mid rimmed spectacles, and wheh Captain Breeze ad-diessed him he smiled gently and beamed upon him.

Now, Mr. Goodman. raid the skipper, "there ye are aboard the finest ship on the coast. 1 got yer letter an check for passage money, an if It the same to ye we'll keep this little dicker among ourselves. My forte Is runnln a I dont want no owners a-mixln In the affalis of the csbln.

That afternoon the bark pulled out and started down the river Plate. The pom-pem season was at hand, and the heavy banks of vapor rose in the western sky as the sun sank behind them. The lightning was vivid and incessant by dark, and Mr. Enlls had her down to her topsails, drifting like a log through the swirling, muddy current. By midnight, however, she had cleared the point, and the first weight of the squall struck her.

The wind came from almost due west, and she tore along before it through a comparatively smooth sea In the river mouth. By morning she had cleared the land and was heading more to the northward, with a heavy gale on her quaver. Mr Algernon Goodman came on deck to have a look around. The heavy masses of leaden vapor flying before the pom-pero made the light dim and grAy even at 10 In the morning. The quick run of the following sea made the bark jerk and roll badly, but she was too close un der the land to fear being pooped, although once In awhile a comber would start over the t'gallant rail abaft the n.ain rigging and go roaring along over on to the main deck, filling it full of a ter.

But the Northern Light was not deep. She sat high and buoyant, and with her fore and main topsails close rfeefed and a foresail with its sheets slacked off to let SI lift over the gale she went to the northward at the rate of twelve knots an hr ur. Mr. Goodman wiped his glasses to char them of the flying drift, and then he adjusted them and beamed satlsfac-; tion upon the wide, snowy path that gurgled and roared on both sides and astern.

GREENP0INT ODD FELLOWS VISIT SAYVILLE BROTHERS. About seventy members of Olive Leif Lodge, No. 233, left Long Island City on the 4. So train Saturday night to pay the long-expected visit to Sayvllle Lodge, No. 822.

Things were lively on board that train, and at times It looked as If the members of Olive Leaf and not the L. I. R. U. owned it.

The train reached Say. vllle at 8.15 oclock, and the vlsltora were met by the members of Sayville Lodgh and escorted to the Grand Opera House, which had beeen reserved for the occasion. The galleiy was filled with the wives, daughters and sweethearts of the Sayville members. The handsome manner In which the building was decorated showed the good taste of the committee in charge. P.

D. D. D. Bro. Terry, of Sayville Lodge, welcomed the visitors In a happy speech, which was responded to by N.

G. Bro Greenleaf, of Olive Leaf. Lodge, and the orchestra plaved an overture. The visiting brothers were then ushered into the banquet hall, where a course dlnnii wus served. When the cigars were lighted Bro.

Jones, oAOHve Leaf Lodge, gave a song, and Bro. Clark gave a recitation. Bro. "Tom Perclval was called -on for a speech and In response spoke of the Odd Fellows' Home, at Hollis, L. stating the condition of the home and the good It was doing for the old Odd Fellows- and their wives, (he large amount of money out on bond and mortgage, and the fact that the home was free and clear of debt.

He urged the members of ayvlllc Lodge to become members of the Home Association. Bro. Harry Walker, of Olive Leaf, and who Is also a member of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, nnd known as the silver-tongued orator of the Odd Fellows, was then called on and said that he always liked visiting sister lodges, as they always were well taken care of nnd he was sure to have a Rood time. He referred to the ladles In the gallery as "the angels above the men" and wished all would become members of the Rebecca Degree Lodge. Singing and recitations filled the remainder of the evening until midnight, whn the members of Sayville Lodge made an effort to furnish all with beds, the Justice of the Peace taking care of eight.

Bro. Geoige Bowden, who is In the employ of the Standard Oil Company at Japn, and who Is on a visit to his people tn Greenpoint, and Bro. Morris Nixon, of Poughkeepsie, accompanied the parry to Sayville. The members of Olive Leaf CORPORATION NOTICES.

Attest: JOHN Moonfy, Assistant Seers tary, 4-4-lfrt (COPYRIGHT APT AIN BREEZE was of a sus- plclous nature. He was more. I He was both truculent and sus-IV plclous, and because of the latter quality he was much given to indulging himself in the former. It was said that he had trusted not wisely, but too well, and had become warped. Mri Enlls, his first mate, gave It ns his private opinion that, although Jimmy Breeee had been through many tight places ajjd Indulged In many a dangerous fracas on his ship's mam deck, his courage was not gilt-edged." JuBt what he based this conclusion upon he did not say.

A former second officer, one Garnett a thoroughly disreputable sailor, who feared neither God, man nor devil had tried to explain this matter to some of his watch, who, of course, In duty bound, saw that the said attempted explanation wap duly carried aft to the captain. This led to some bickering and eventually to a vacancy In the second ofilcers rabln. Since then the meaning of Mr. Ennis encomium was left to work Itself out among those who were unfortunate enough to have heard It, "I dont want no more deadbeats with twisted Ideas a-comln' aboard this here ship as mates, said ('apt. Breeze the morning after, the Northern Light had finished' loading and was about to pull out of the river Plate.

"Aye, aye, sir, said Mr. Enlls, who gat at the end of the cabin table. An I dont want no remarks made forrads concernin the runnln of this vessel neither, continued the captain. If I hear any more concernin me or my affairs, therell be some whangin' e-takln' place. Dfe take me for a fool, Mr.

Enlls -No, sir; ye ain't no fool, an thats a fact, said the mate. "D'yd think I cant size up a man or woman either, for that matter because I've trusted In one or two male or female rasklls, hey? I never could say any seoh thing, cap'n," replied the mate penitently. I didnt ask ye what ye cud say." roared Jimmy Breeze. Im talkin of what ye might say, an If ye do" Here he looked straight at Mr. Enlls and set his wide Jaw tight until his large mouth drew into a line.

Mr. Enlls looked meekly at the salt junk on hts plate and said nothing. There was very little left to be said, and he was satisfied to leave that little where It was. Ill have a second mate aboard before noon that'll be a credit to this here ship." continued the skipper, "so ye'll be on the watch for him. He's a gentleman, that's what he Is, an' a manI ain't ashamed of at the table like some I know or on the poop.

An, besides that, he dont talk too mucdi. 1 got Mm up at Jacksons, an he's been captain of one of them bone vessels before, "I once went out In a bone vessel," said Enlls by way of turning the subject, an I call to mind how the scorpions an' centtpeds took charge. They was moren a million In the bones, an every one was bit. Hell be all right Jf he sailed In a bone ship. 1 reckon he'll do.

"Ye reckon he will do, hey? 'I do, sir. Well, yeve got another reckon. Reckon again. Don't go takin' anything' for granted aboard here. See?" "If ye mean for me to take him In hand, say so." "I mean to have ye do yer duty or whang yer hide thats what! said Jimmy Breeze.

As Mr. Enlls duty was perfectly plain, there was nothing more worth discussing. The meal ended In el lence. At four bells In the morning thp crew had all been mustered and the new second mate had arrived. He was 'tall man, thin and gaunt His face was smooth shaved, and the lack of beard disclosed a strangely angular jaw, with many lines and creases about the mouth.

His eyes looked out from straight brows and had a peculiar shifting motion, focusing for a moment upon the skipper and drawing to small glinting points, to Instantly shift again and resume their apparent restless search for something, ills voice had a harsh drawl, but he evidently had it well in hand, for In spite of its grating sound the words were gentle and the tone conciliatory. My forte Is the runnln of a ship the way she should go," said Jimmy Breeze after meeting him at the gangway. "If ye know yer business, yell soon see the lay of that. My forte Is runnln a ship without any extra advice from forrads, see? I know a thing or two about men when I see them, an Ill just make It known now that Im the whole thing aboard here. This Is Mr.

Enlls, first Theres the meu. an the sooner get down on that main deck the better. Ye say ye haven't any paper or RABBIT PIE. Take a nice rabbit; cut it up In small I ieces and lay It In cold water thirty minutes; then take it out of that water and put It in a- kettle with hot water enough to coyer the ribbit; add a little salt, pepper and two onions; let it bolL twenty minutes; have ready -a deep pudding dish: put the rabbit Into it; take a tablespoonful of flour, wet It and pour into the hot water the rabbit haa been taken from, to thicken It; when it bolls up once pour over the rabbit; add a piece of butter the size of an egg, salt to taste; now put over this a nice crust made with one cup of milk, one-half cup of lard, one heaping teaspoonful of bak--lng powder and flour enough to roll out; put over the rabbit and bake half an hour in a slow oven. HOUSECLEANING IN WORCESTER This is the time of year when that tragic event In domestic economy, the spring housecleaning, outlines itself upon -the horizon of every womans hope.

A few days more and the household pen-ates will be hung on the back fence, where the stray, ambling spring cat may-peruse their countenances, while the furious uproar of soapsuds running down the stairs and in the front hall marks the coming In and going out of the day also that of the man, a thing that refuses to be scrubbed, whitewashed, or' beaten over a clothesline. You go llomk'-tired out, with the ex-' pectatlon ot a sort of oaala somewhere between the garret and the coal bln. But all traces of human association with any- thing has been obliterated, tom up you even cant recall how it looked. The av-. Blanche passed that way, and all thats left to tell how It happened Is the tattoo without, being beaten on the rug that should cover the floor that now suspires with the commingled odor ot hot water and cheap soap.

Like as not there is also a rank smell of turpentine in the J. rooms, and long before you seek your dewny couch piled high with books snd picture frames, 'you think you are either doing time in a trunk full of mothballs or are working in a paint factory. Again, there is the pleasure of eating oft the kitchen table with Mary Ellen, which isnt bad in Its way. But when a few rusty tacks, attached to which are a few, strands of carpet, Weave, turn up in the teacup, the martyrdom is npt far off. TV hen you get ready to go to bed, there ere no curtains at the windows.

So in' the utter darkness you hear your loose change run off to the four comers of the bare room, tumble over a few chairs and with a sigh of despair land upon a tack puller which, in a busy moment, ha been flung on the only thing that hasnt been removed from the room. Housec leaning must go. At the best, It is but a misguided seal, and 11 lrx kept up long enough it will land Us possessor In the hospital or the mad house. There may have been a time when housecleaning was an eminently proper thing to do when people lived In low. sodden huts, no chimneys, straw for carpets and all that.

But now, when we have such a firm check upon all manifestations of tho devil of dirt, It wont lt out of legendary and, at the most, IS a confession that our ancestors lived like orcester (Mass Gazette. 8UOOND DKPARTJIKNT.
