fourth annual commencement exercises
-f tile Alabama Polytechnic Institute

One of the most pleasantly remem

The annual event that Is one of the
most enjoyable pleasures of commence

A feature that always Interests vis
■fors to the commencement Is the mil
iary display and the review of the
cadet battalion by his excellency. Gov
ernor William D. Jclks. in the after
noon Monday, which was witnessed by
an Immense crowd. The maneuvers
were admirably executed and received
hearty approval.

most Inviting spectacle. Company B
was the winner for the best drilled
company In the battalion.
The evening exercises consisted of
the senior class orations and the lit
erary address before the societies by
the Rev. James W. Lee, of Atlanta.

masterpiece of eloquence anil made a
■ep Impression on all present.

made by the president. There was 57

From the lists which have been com
piled by the committee there are some
1.250 local firms able to subscribe to
the fund, out of which 500 have been
seen, lenvlng 750 to be reached. These
firms will first be given the considera

The work will take several weeks.
There Is $161,000 of the $600,000
guarantee fund to.be raised before the
pledges become binding. Counting
two members to a firm there art 4,d6o
persons to be seen, and If the average
of $50 Is given by each, not only the
guarantee fund, but also a safe mar
gin will be left for collection. To make
up this average, however, many of
those who are called upon will have
to respond liberally.

Bravery, Doctor (said my friend, the
third officer). Isn't such a simple thing
aa you think It. One man la brave In
one way, and another In a different one.
Often enough, that which Is called
bravery Is nothing more than custom,
You wouldn't go up on the fore-royal-
yard In half a gale to reef sail, would
you? Not you! You’d be afraid. Well,
you might think me a brave man be
cause I would. But then I'd be afraid
to cut a chap's leg off, and you
wouldn't.
That was what old Captain Hoskins,
whom I used to sail with, could never
understand. If a man was a bit nerv
ous about the sea, he used to look
down on him as all aorta of a coward.
But there came a day when he learned
better. ,
It happened when I was with him In
a three-masted sailing ship called tho
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, alongside
the Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading with
i general cargo for Liverpool. The
principal object In thnt cargo—or, at
Jeast, the one we took most notice of—
was a tiger that we were shipping for
London. It lay In a strong cage of wood
and Iron, with a door in the front,
through which It could bo fed. It was
a fine big brute, and every time it
stretched Itself you could see the mus
cles slipping over Its sides, and the
big. wicked-looking clawa peeping out
of the pads of Its feet in a way that
made you very thankful for the bars.
We bad a passenger or two. One of
them wa* a young glrIwho went bythe
name of Hilda Sandford. She had been
a governess In the family of one of
our agents out there, but the climate
hadn't suited her, and she had to go
home. She wa* coming with us Instead
of by steamer, because she got her pas
sage for nothing and she waan t too
well oft. Directly the old man set eyes
on her trim figure and tto WMlth ol
golden brown hair about her head, he
WAS struck all of a heap. »o to apeak,
and I could see that he was promising
himself a mighty pleesant voyage
The other passenger was a strange
...tie. drled-up man, who wore gold
pince-nez and kept peering about the
ship In a mo«t unco ™ f f ,rt {X l ®
crave his name an Mr. Hay Profs*
for Hay. he called himself, though we
hadn’t found out what he professed
until later. Of course, the tlgsr had
Its attendant, but he berthed forward.
An hour or two before we started
thu Mr iiav came up to the old man
and ££.n «k?n« hlm a lot of quea-

we shall have a quiet passage.

nlty of clearing oft to another pert at
deck.
Shortly afterwards we ■ put to sen.
For the next few days w# had the best
of weather and everything went
smoothly. I had my time pretty well
taken up with my work, but for all
that I Could see one or two things that
set me thinking. The first was that
the old man was making himself un
commonly attentive to Miss Sandford.
The second was that this Mr. Hay, In
a quiet and timid way, was thinking
a good deal of her, too. Hoskins sa'
quickly enough that he had a rival,' bt
as he had started off with a healthy
contempt for him he didn't disturb him
self over and above much. For my
part, I thought the girl fancied Hay
rather than Hoskins, and though she
couldn't avoid the old man. anil could
not help listening to his sea yarns, I
could see her eyes turning forward to
ward the waist, where Hay was put
ting In hie time looking at the .tiger.
■ One afternoon the sklpifer- was sit
ting beside Miss Sandford on the poop
deck, when Hay came up the compnn
ion and made hla way toward them.
"There's something I want to tell
you, Captain,” he said. “It's getting on
my mind and making me quite un
comfortable. That man whose busi
ness It Is to look after the tiger Isn't
doing his work. The animal Isn't, get
ting enough food. It Is developing a
savage nature. And yesterday, when I
went to see the man about It, I found
that he wa* Intoxicated. I really think
you should Interfere.”
Of course, the old man should have
Interfered. But he didn't like being told
his duty by the little Professor, espe
cially When the girl wa* about. So he
Just sneered.
"I suppose youlre afraid of th* beaat
escaping?" ho said.
“I should certainly regard It as un
fortunate,” the little man replied. "You
see, a drunken man might bo careless
about the fastenings. I must really
Insist upon your speaking to him."
"He's not one of my crew," said Hos
kins. *'I have enough to do to look
after them. If any of them get drunk,
they'll hear pf It. But this chap la
a passenger, even If he-ls only a steer

hla spare time. If you’re ao darned
frightened about the beast, you'd bet-
Thnt'a It," sold llnsklns. "Think It
over carefully. And as for getting
married, I'd be glad If you'd think
over that, too.”
She started like a frightened hors*.
"Oh, captain!” she said, "I don't un
derstand. What do you mean?"
"You do understand," ho sold, ten
derly, drawing his thalr n bit nenror
to her. "Miss Sandford—Hilda; Have
not you a word for n poor old seaman

tread on? Think over It None but

'You mustn't speak like this," she
exclaimed, rising a* though she were
distressed. "You arc older than I am.
And I don't know thnt you are a brave
man. I have only your word for It.
.Please don't speak to me about this
again."
The old man saw that he had gone a
little bit too far.

If we have a bit of rough weather, I'll
show you th# sort of man I am. I
should love a bit pf danger for your
sake.?
Foe the next few days he went about
whistling for a wind, aa though he
wanted to send us all to Davy Jones'
locker. I believe he would have been
glad of a typhoon Just to show his
seamanship and his contempt for dnn
ger. As for his seamanship, no ono
ever questioned It; and os for hla con
tempt for danger, he wn* to get hi*
chance all light, though not quite In
the way he expected.
It waa about a week after 111* con
versation with the girl that It earns.
Hilda was sitting on the poop deck,
reading a book. Th* old man was
marching up and down with a quarter
deck trot, casting glances at her and
thinking how pretty she was, whan
suddenly he lef off a howl that would
have frightened an elephant and sprang
Into the port mlxten rigging. I wasn't
far from him at the time, and I looked
at him, wondering whether he had
gone mail. Then I saw what he had
seen, and I went up the starboard mlz
ten shrouds as quickly as he' bad gone
up th* port ones. The girl raised her
head and looked up at Ilosfclns, and
he gaped down at her and 'tried to
shout. But for some time he could only
make faces.
Look! look!” ho yelled at last.
"Come up the rigging! The tiger Is
loose!" i
She sprang to her feet and looked
about her. Not four yards away from
her the tiger was playing with a coll
of rope. It was paying no sort of at
tention to her at the moment, but ahe
felt that It might take It Into Ite head
to spring at her at any minute. As sh*
stood sh# wa* cornered between the
stern of the ship and thb cabin door.
There was nothing to be done but to
climb up the rigging. Sh# tried, but
the first step was too high, and sh*
could not manage It. And when she
realized that, I thought she was going
to faint-
Hoskins was Just going down to glv#
her a hand, but at that moment tbs
rer looked up and saw him, and gav*
kind of roar. The old man stuck
when he ws* then and son of sMv-
I ered all over like a Jelly In • gale. A*
for the girl, 'sh* went whit# all over
and gave herself up for lost. And
ut of th# cabin came Professor
Ha:
-
Sta. m
H*- junt took on* look round and a&w
he tljyer. Then h« picked up a broom
hat one who bud been washing
1 J —K* had left leaning ai: <,ln*t the
>uv4*. and pushed at the tiger
looking It straight In the eye*.
*d of th<* power of the Jiuman
•re, hut I had never believed ft
ut afti-rnoon. He h^F
fore him right In to tho wnlat nnd
Inn k Into Its rage. \\’h«‘ii In* hud If
unfely foatened In, he cnfho netem
again, looking not the leant bit excited
or worried, and put the broom care
fully back Into Its place. Tho girl was
looking hard at him, and her eyoe wore
nhlnlng, but ho'dldn’t peem to be aware
of It. Hoflklnn had come down the rig
ging and w&i looking a trlflo ashamed
of himself. He didn’t know It was so
easy to push tigers Into their cage
with a broom, or ho might have had a
try at It. After a bit ho spoko up.
“That wu a fine bit of work, sir,"
ho said. ”If I hadn’t seen It 1 couldn't
have believed It”
”Oh, It’» nothing,” said tho professor.
“It’s my business. 1 tamo wild ani
mals.”
After that he seemed to dismiss the
whole subject from his mind and went
Into the cabin. Rut I saw him later In
tho evening talking to that girl, and
he must have had something impor
tant to say to her, for, when the old
man met her next morning and began
making excuse* for himself, she cut
him short. *
“Captain,” she said, ”do you remem
ber advising me to marry a bfrave
man?”
“I do,” said Hoskins, a bit pusxled.
“Well,” she said softly, “he askm]
me yesterday and I’m going to take
your advice/*
Which shows you, doctor/that‘bra
very Is very much a matter of custom.
As for poor old Hoskins, we had mill*
pond weather the whole way home, and
he hadn’t oven a chance to show him-
•elf.
