ANNIE O’BRIEN,
A TRUE TA. K.
The Connaught istb had arrived in
New York. The cabin passengers had
gone ashore. Ihc steerage people were
being carried away by tp.j r friends or
by the boarding house keepers who
always lie in wait for theft, thi/decks Those yet
uncalled for sat. about Wist
ful eye” turned shorewarj anxious to see
a familiar face and forn among all those
f-tcernge ones.
I’at Nolan had coni'. aboard in all his
bravery new blue/ C ont flung open
that it might ndt conceal the shining
watch-chain datigl from his vest
pocket, his hat ti[»i^ s j orj „ s j ( ] c j n ^ ruc
Connaught fashh A, with a mighty show
of nhife collar anj cuffs and blue neck¬
tie, and his boot for once polished by
nn “Eyetalian.” He threw his shoulders
back and looker his West, for “ Jidn’t ho
come aboard t> bring his sweetheart,
Annie O IJri* n, home, and wasn’t she the
purtiest girl in f cn countries and hadn’t
she crossed th^ f,, r hi* sake?”
Pat felt aH though every one that saw
him must kn>w his business there.
Mamling t j j ] j,,. looked about him,
rx, '‘"G.ig v> see his little Annie
•>’t she l»c ns anxious
itt would 1)0 to mate
late, for there had been
in in which he came down
■ where he was working as
C()H< «d gardner. But surely
Annie w<>,. il never have gone ashore
without him. He walked about for full
(cn minutes, looking everywhere, * but
still missing the face he wanted.
Every now and then a gay ribbon ora
bright coil of hair would make his heart
dance, but it was never Annie’s hair or
Annie's bonnet At last he made up his
mind that she had gone ashore; but in
♦ hat, ca<c she had left word for him, of
rourse- -word where she had betaken
hei>elf.
“I beg pardon, sir,” he said, step¬
ping up to a man who wore a gold band
upon his cap, and was presumably an
officer; “1 beg pardon, rir. but I’m I’at
Nolan. Is there a bit of a message left
for me, do,you know, sir?”
“Not tl at 1 atnawoure,” the officer re
h plied.
“It wa> Annie O'Brien,” said Pat.
“She came over on this steamer; she
expected mo to mate her. We’re to be
married, you know, sir, and she’d lave
word where sh> is gone—Annie
O’Brien.” ,
I^w The officer turned a curious, startled
gaze upon him.
“Annie O'Brien,” he repeated, “A
steerage passenger?”
“In coorse, sir,” said Pat. “She’s
eomin’ over to marry me, and she’s a
work in’ girl. "We’re nayther iv us
rich.”
The ofl'cer looked at him again.
“I know the name,” lie said.
“You couldn't help noticing the
girl,” said Pat. “She’s n purty Crayther,
is Annie, wid eyi s like the sky and gold
en hair and a waist ye could span wid
yrr two hands—barrin’ she wouldn't
permit, ye to do it—and a foot light as a
bird's upon the floor, A little jewel is
my Annie You d not fail to notice
her.”
“Sit down a moment, Mr. Nolan,”
said the officer, “l will make some in
quines. Wait here for me!”
“A mighty polite gentleman, though
he’s as solemn as a funeral,” said Pat to
himself. “I hope he’ll not delay long.
I'm wild to see Annie. I wonder is she
cryiu’ her eyes out for not seein’ me? It
was what she had a right to expect—the
first one aboord.”
The officer was returning.
He looked more serious than ever.
“Mr. Nolan, he said, gravely, “the
captain would like to speak to you. I
will take you to him. We have had a
Very stormy voyage, as winter voyages
often are.”
“But you come into port on as pleas
ant a day as there is in the calendar,”
Pat said, cheerfully, “A Christmas
couldn’t be brighter.”
“But we have had a very unpleasant
voyage,” said the officer gravely.
He opened the door of the captain’s
cabin. Pat entered with his hat in his
hand.
The captain—a grave, bronzed man
with iron-gray hair sat at a table before
an open book, on which his hand lay.
“Sit down.” he said.
“Thank you, sir. It's as easy stand
ing,” said Pat, with a bow.
'•You had better sit down,” said the
eaptaiu. “I may have to talk to you for
some minutes. I have romething very
very particular to say if your are the
right man. Your name is-”
“Pat Nolan,” said Pat, beginning to
feel astonished; but then perhaps the
raptain knowing that he was to be mar
ried that evening, wanted to congratu
late him, or perhaps it was the way
of the captains of ocean steamers to be
, flow and solemn, not thinking how he
kept people from their sweethearts. So
Pat sat down, put his hat on the floor »
and, not know ing just what to do,
cracked all his knuckles one after the
other as he waited.
“Your name is Patrick Nolan,” said
the captain again, “and you came on
board to find a young woman—a friend
of yours
“My sweetheart promised tome. We
are to be i uried to-day.” said Pat.
“If God wi u said the captain.
“Ay, sir; we can do nothing wid OU
that, I well know,” said Put. “The
good Lord above aud Father Dunn will
help me; but I'll do the best I can
furder myself.”

the widdv, and well respected. They
are neighbors at home in the ould coun
thry.”
The captain ran his fingers dovrn a
long column of names, and stopped at
last and looked at Pat again.
“We had a very unpleasant voyage,"
he said slowly—“a very, very unpl mm
ant voyage."
“The other gentleman was telling me
that, sir,’ said Pat, wishing that this old
gentleman would stop talking about the
weather and tell him something about
Annie. “Bad weather must be a threat
on the say,” he said, in order to be
polite. “And wid all thim passengers
to be watehin’ and carin’ for—worse
than a stablcful of bastes!”
, lV left, - „ said . , in e captain, . . .. we try . .to .
care for our passengers; but the steerage
is a little crowded. They are often very
sick.”
“Yes, sir. I was that sick myself I
thought I be dyin’,” said Pat.
“Some are severely ill,” said the cap
tain.
This time Pat made no answer, but
I stared at him with a hot flush rising to
1 his face,
“Sometimes they are so very ill that
they die,” the Captain went on. “Del
' ieate women, you know—little children
and delicate women.”
; Pat still looked at him in silence.
“When I said that we had a very un
pleasant voyage I meant that”—said the
j Captain—“that we had serious illness—
that we had death on board. Two
steerage passengers died, One was
William O’Rourke, an old man coming
over to live with his son.”
“God rest his soui!” said Pat.
“The other, who was very ill, was a
woman,” said the Captain—“a young
woman, and very pretty. 3 Mr. Nolan,
we have to prepare for storms in this life
—we have to brace up and bear them as
well as we can. They are very hard to
bear. I have had a great many myself.
At my age that goes without saying, but
you are young and full of hope. I am
( to that I afraid
very sorry say am you
are about to suffer a -terrible shock. It
is a painful task to tell you. Brace up,
my lad. The other passenger was a
youni; woman, and her name, as wc have
it written here, was Annie O’Brien.”
All the color had gone out of Pat’s
j face by this time. It was white—lips
; and All. He dropped his arms on the
table and hid his face on them, and great
sobs shook his frame,
The captain wiped the tears from his
own eyes.
“Talk does no good,” he said. “Time
only can comfort you.”
“It seems as if I could not believe it,
captain,” Pat cried, lifting his tear
swollen face. “Annie—my little Annie!
Arc you sure it was Annie ?”
“There was but one Annie O’Brien on
our list,” said the captain. “She gave
her name just before she breathed her
last. The only steerage passenger of the
name of O’Brien died on the voyage of a
fever. The doctor cared for her as well
as he knew how. The women nursed her
kindly. We buried her at sea, and the
burial service was said by a Catholic
clergyman who was on board. You
might like to know that, so I tell you.”
“My Annie—my Annie at the bottom
of the say !” moaned poor Nolan. “An’
I’ll uiver see her again; niver kiss her
red lips; niver feel her two arms about
me neck! Ah, Annie, I won’t live after
you—I won’t live after you l Lite is *too
hard to bear wid that to think of. It’s
turned tne to a woman, sir, I’m thinkig’;
but it’s the worst blow I iver had in me
loife.”
There was a knock at the door just
then. Pat hid liis tear-stained face again.
“No admittance just now,” cried the
captain.
“ I didn’t mane to come in, plase sir,”
said a sweet voice; “but I’d like to
spake to ye, captain, af ve’ll let me. I’m
waitin’ this long time till me frind
eftmes abooTd to bring me home, and I’m
gettiu* anxious, fearin’ something has
happened him. What will I do, sir? I
know no one in Americay. Perhaps he
might be on boord and me not know it.
He’d be askin’ for Annie O’Brien and
he'd be Pat Nolan, that I’m promised to.
Would yc-”
But the captain had flung wide the
door; and Pat was on his feet, aud with
a roar like that of a buffalo had flung his
arms about her.
“Glory be to Go(i and all the saints!”
he cried. “You’re not dead at all!
You’re alive! «Tve got you safe and
sound! They’ve been telling me you
were dead. God help the man that put
the thriek on uv, for I’ll lave but the
bones av him!”
j “Quiet, there!” shouted the captain,
“Down with your fists or I’ll put you in
irons!” What did you mean by asking
for Annie O’Brien, a steerage passenger,
when you wanted Annie Bailey, a first
cabin passenger? That is the girl that
stands there. That is the name she gave
us—Annie Bailey.”
“Captain dear,” cried Anuie, clutch
ing her Pat by the coat tail, “captain
darliu’, Pat niver knew—he did not.
Since writin' him, my mother—a widdy
—married again wid Mr. Peter Bailey,
<%at kapes a foine tavern in our town.
So long as I was a goin’ from her, and
he a proposin’ to her, why wouldn’t she?
And lie havin' money to spare, said I
should come like a lady, and paid m >
passage in the foinest place; and out iv
compliment to him—being my mother’s
husband and so generous to me—I sailed
as Annie Bailey. That is the way it
j was, captain; and .indade all the trouble
arose lrom it—for I wanted Pat to find
me seated in the illigant saloon, and re
mained there waitin’for him.”
“You’ll excuse me, sir,” said Pat bow
ing low, “cn account of what I've been
through.”
“All right,” my man,” the captain
I answered; and then Pat threw his arms
about his Annie and led her away, the

empty, and when he left Castle Garden
he had only a few shillings.
“He sought a house which the strict¬
est economy born of dire necessity sug¬
gested, and brought up in a cheap lodg¬
ing-house. He fell in with a crowd of
men of low instincts, most of whom
were thieves. They invited him on a
trip to see the cjty, measured him up,
and finally set him to stealing from uj )
town flats, and he became a regular thief,
dividing the spoils with the men who
planned the obs. This is not an isolated
-case by any means. Visit one of these
establishments at night and from an ob¬
scure 'corner make a careful observation
of the surroundings, -and you will be
startled at the sight, for any quick eye
may detect a thief and his newly arrived
victim, who is ined to commit the

The remedy >r tuis evil in this city,
suggested by I i bpeciflr Byrnes, is the
enactment of a strong law id govern
lodging-houses. He would have them
placed unefer police control, compel re¬
cords and books to be kept, open at all
limes to the inspection of the police au
Biorites. Another law he suggests is
toat only a person of goc d moral charac¬
ter should be permitted to own or con¬
trol lodging-house, and he should give '
a
bond for a faithful discharge of his
f ties. In this way these nests of crime,
instituted at present under lax laws,

The body # ft a foot and a halt square
and rests on two heavy wheels. The box
is dark blue with red line3 running along
the edges, and on the panels appeals the
monogram “U. S.” Heavy iron plates
clamp the sides and ends, One end
opens on hinges and permits the sliding
of the lid. which is fitted in a groove.
The customs receipts are made up
once every day, and sometimes more’
frequently, in the cashier’s office of the
Custom House and packed in strong ob¬
long wooden chests, which arc then pad¬
locked and sealed. These boxes a$e
conveyed on the shoulders of porters to
the hand-cart in waiting.
After they are safely deposited the lid
of the cart is closed and padlocked and
the treasure-laden vehicle is shoved by
stalwart Government employes to the

William and Pine streets to # the Sub
Treasury. There it is unlocked and the
boxes removed to the cashier’s office and

long years that the wagon has made the
daily trips to the fjub-Treasurv no at
tempt has been made to rob it nor has
any money been missed. ' f
Once a three-tbousand-doiiar gold
certificate was missed, but was afterward
discovered in a draw in the ca hier's
office in which it had been mislaid.
