Wbo hides his time, and day by day faces defeat full patiently, And lifts a mirthful roundelay, However poor his fortune be— He will not fail in any qualm Of poverty—the paltry dime, It will grow golden in his palm, Who bides his time. 'Vho hides his time—he tastesthe sweet Of honey in the saltest tear; And though he fares with slowest feet, j 0 v nils to meet, him drawing near; The birds are heralds of his cause. And. like a never-ending rhyme, The roadside blooms in his applause, Who bides his time. Who bides his time and fevers not In the hot race that none achieves, Shall wear cool wreathen laurel, wrought With crimson berries in the leaves. And he shall reign a goodly king, And sway his hand o’er every clime With peace writ on his signet ring. Who bides his time. HE CAPTAIN’S ORPHAN. y GENIE HOLZMYER ROSENFELD. The steamship Nervia for New York was etting up her steam. Capt. Gordon was i-oud of his ship. He was a thorough sea ian, a genial fellow and the youngest Cap lin on the line. Archibald Gordon though as handsome nd manly a fellow as you could meet in a ay's march, was still unmarried at 35. and •as little of a lady’s man. His face was clouded now as he glanced up •om the note he had been reading. It was •om one of his owners, and contained a re lest, that was almost command, that he oulil look after a young lady who would be (using to America in his ship. The letter stated her to be in very delicate alth, and that her guardian, being unable accompany her—as the voyage had been ldertaken very hastily—begged the Cap in to take the greatest care of her until had seen her safely placed under the pro i-tion of her friends at the Fifth Avenue otel, New York. The letter further stated at the young lady’s name was Miss illnch, and described her as beingtall, fair, mdsome and dressed in very deep mourn- Arrived on board, the Captain’s duties ove all other thoughts out of his head, and it was not until the ship was well un r way and steaming down the Mersey Fit he remembered his obligation, and then was recalled to his mind by the sight of a ly clothed in deep mourning leaning over s taffrail. ‘By Jove!” he exclaimed, and paused a pinent, wondering whether he should ;ak to the young lady or leave it until ter he had seen that tlm afcaacage passen rs were all settled, which was the object th which he had come forward. “I’ll it see if it, is the young Indy,” he thought, nri if it is I’ll take her to the after deck and come back here afterwards.” le approached the lady ;md accosted her. Ira I speaking to Miss Tulloch?” Hie lady started violently and turned. She is fair and very handsome, but her face Yd haggard, and there were deep circles and the eyes, which seemed strange in so ung a face. Yes,” she said defiantly, “my name is Hook!” riiough surprised at her manner, Capt. irdon proceeded pleasantly: I received a note from Mr. Guilder (one our firm) just before sailing. He re estol mo in the name of your guardian take charge of you during your voy riic lady stared at him and then broke into larsh, mirthless laugh.

' Miss Tulloch seemed alarmed. A quick blush spread over her face and she glanced nervously at the Captain, as though he were a stranger taking an unwarrantable liberty. “ You are quite alone I see,” he said. “Yes—no—that is. If you will excase me I will go to my cabin,” she answered, en deavoring to rise. The Captain restrained her. “Don't go for a moment,” he said, “I was about to ask you if you would not allow me to introduce you to some of the ladies on board. You are the only ‘orphan’ I have on this trip. The young ladies in my charge we always call the ‘Captain’s orphans,’ you know; but there are two young ladies with their mother, who have crossed several times with me, and I think you would like them.” ' "It is very kind of you,” she said, seem ing more at her ease. “You are the Cap tain, then?” “Yes,” he replied, wonderingly. “I am much indebted to you for your kind interest,” she said sweetly. “Not at all,” said the Captain, hiuch mys tified at this sudden change from her man ner of the morning. “I am only carrying out your guardian’s Instructions.” “Oh, of course, Mr. Tuchbold wrote to you. I had forgotten, pray excuse me, Capt. ?” “Gordon.” “Capt. Gordon. And now if you will assist me I think I will go below. Many thanks, I shall hope to meet your lady friends to-morrow. Good night, and with a bow and a sweet smile 6he went to her stateroom. The Captain was intensely interested in his charge. She seemed to have two distinct; characters, and this last one was so entirely charming that Archibald Gordon could not drive it out of his head. He was still thinking of her when, some hours later, he was taking his last round be fore turning in. “Such modesty, such refinement,” he was saying, when his attention was attracted by the sound of laughter and— Yes he was sure of it. A woman’s voice proceeding from the smoking room. * -■-* V ? She raked in the coin. He hastened thither, and there—her face flushes! with excitement, her golden hair ruffled, her graceful Torm bending over the card table, as she raked in a pile of coin—sat the Captain’s orphan! the modest, refined young lady of his thoughts! "Miss Tulloch!” he cried, in a voice of thunder. “Hullo, Cap!” she said nodding. “Come and join us?” “It is against the rules, madam, for ladies to enter the smoking room 1” “Is it? Oh, excuse me! You ought to have told me, boys 1” and with a mocking laugh, she swept the money from the table into her handkerchief, and rising, passed out —saying with another hard laugh, “Good night. I'll pay my footing to-morrow.” Slipping her arm familiarly through the Captain’s, site walked along the deck. “I suppose you’re awfully angry!” she suggested. . “Shocked is a better term,” he answered, stiffly. “Well, you’re a good fellow and I won’t shock you any more. From this moment I’U behave. 1 can’t help it. It’s my one little spree. I’ll be awfully seasick to-mor row !’’ and with a wav? of her hand she van ished below. Capt. Gortlon returned to the smoking room and did what he could to gloss over the young lady’s indiscretion; he felt, how ever, so annoyed and disgusted that he was determined to avoid her for the rest of the voyage. The next afternoon he was much surprised and chagrined when, as he was crossing the deck, his charge accosted him. “I believe 1 have already made the ac quaintance of your friends,” she said. “I have been having such a pleasant chat all the morning to some people called Musgrave; they mentioned having crossed several times with you.” “Yes; those were the ladies I meant.” he said, awkwardly. “They tell me you are quite an artist,” she said, interestedly. I do hope that you will let me see some of your sketches. I adore art. The happiest days of my life were spent among the artists m Rome.” “You have been to Italy?” he asked. "Yes, I was there nearly two years. A very dear cousin of mine went to study and in v kind guardian let us—my sister and my self—go with her. “You have a sister?” he asked, interested in spite of himself. “Yes,” she said, shortly, and was turning away when a rough voice broke in on the conversation. “Well, how are you after last night’s dis sipation !” Capt. Gordon looking round saw, with dismay, one of the card players of the night before. Miss Tulloch took not the slightest notice. “Hoity, toity,” said the rough man again, “won’t you recognize me this morn illi “Is this —person speaking to you?” Miss Tulloch asked tho Captaiij. “No. I’m speaking to you," the rough man said, feeling nettled. "Then, sir,” said the young lady, drawing herself to herlull height, “you have made some mistake. I don’t know' you. I hnve never seen you before, and if you |>ersist in speaking to hie I shall lie compelled to re quest Capt. Gordon to protect me from your annoyance.” “Umph!” and the man turned on his heel, muttering, “win £ls at cords from a fellow nt night and then not speak to him in tho morning 1" Miss Tulloch sprang forward. “What did he stay? Win £ls at cards? I No, I was mistaken, Oh, how horrible! how horrible!” and she covered her face with her hands. Capt. Gordon stole quietly away, think ing it better to leave her alone with her re morse. After this little episode Capt. Gordon found himself continually at her ski*. Hbe was generally alone aiid seemed to make no friends beyono the Musgmvos. The Captain found himself intensely interested in flor as day after day went by he could have staked his life he knew every thought of her girlish heart. Yet that horrible scene at cards! The uncanny manner a* their first meeting! “Hhe is the moat consummate deception I ever met. if she wqixi only what she seems!” and Archie Gordon sighed. Hi-wan deeply in love with las "orphan.” He had noticed, too. the opick blush (with which she arrested SAVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. his approach. Did she, too, love him ? Per haps it was only acting. It was a bright sunny morning, the heav ens without a cloud, the sen like a sea of glass. With such weather as this Nervia would be in port the next afternoon. “Well,” said Capt. Gordon, approaehing his orphan, “You’ll be on land to-morrow, Mis3 Tulloch, and have forgotten all the perils of the sea.” “I never forget,” she said, half sadly. “Wait till you get into Tiffany’s; you’ll forget everything. I’ve hull some experience of young ladies on pleasure trips before.” She turned her face to him, look ing very sweet as she spoke in a grave, sad tone: “This is no pleasure trip. I have come on the most urgent business. So urgent that the time taken in traveling almost mad dens me. I have come out alone to accom plish a task that seems impossible. I have come against thewilland wishesof my guar dian and my friends, but 1 have undertaken a sacred duty which, with God’s aid, 1 will accomplish.” She spoke so solemnly that Capt. Gordon was infinitely touched. “I wish I could aid you,” he said. She paused a moment. “Captain,” she said, “I feel that you are staunch and true. I need help in my work. May I come to you with my trouble? May I trust you with my secret? Archie Gordon lifted his hat. “Whatever you may say to me, Miss Tul loch, shall be a sacred trust. 1 will guard your secret with my life. If it is in human power to aid you I will do so. Ah, Miss Tulloch, before you trust me with your so oret will you not trust me with something dearer, sweeter—” “The doctor would like to speak to you, Captain,” interrupted a sailor. “Meet me hero to-night, directly after din ner,” he whispered, and with a pressure of the hand he hurried away. “There’s a child dying in the steerage,” the sailor told him. When the Captain reached the sick child there was his quondam enemy, the rough man. “You here!” he said. “Guess I’m most everywhere!” was the gruff rejoinder, as he turned tiaek to smooth a wrinkle in the little sufferer’s pillow. In the half hour that followed Capt. Gor don felt tt great change of opinion about this man, and when they left the child it seemed quite the natural thing toenterinto friendly (•hat. "iSeen anything of you know who?” asked the rough man. “A good deal.” “Well?” “I think we were entirely mistaken.” “Oh, you’re gone on her !” “Kir!” “Don’t say another word. I've watched it. I’ve seen her sitting on deck as mild as milk. She’s a double-faced cat, that's wnat she is.” • “Sir, that lady—” “Don’t say another word. I betted £lO she’d break out again before we ianded. Come you here and see if I haven’t won.” Therough man conducted the Captain past a stateroom, the door of which ‘was half open. As they passed the Cuptain saw Miss Tulloch. Yes —but how? He stood as if transfixed. There sat the beautiful woman ho loved, surrounded by three or four men. She was dealing out a pack of cards, and tucked away in the corner of her mouth was a cigarette. She looked up as they passed and gave a careless nod. “Don’t look shocked,” she cried. “I’m on my own premises now. This is the first amusement I’ve had all the voyage. Some one ring for champagne. Let’s drink the Cap’s health, and may he never know what sea sickness is.” Without a word Capt. Gordon turned on his heel, but the rough man was beside him. “I guess if you’ve got matrimonial inten tions you’d better put ’em off a bit.” Archie Gordon could make no reply. The woman he loved was making a jest of him. He would never speak to her again. He despised her, and in time he would learn to forget her. The cloaked figure drew nearer. Armed with his wounded pride he camcon deck, determined she should not think he cared a jot wlmt she did. A dim figure approached him in the gath ering twilight. “How iong you have been,” she said. He half passed her, and then turned on her scornfully. “Were none of your boon companions here to while away your dullness?” “What do you mean?” she asked. “Don’t attempt this air of innocence again.” he said fiercely. “You had almost made me forget that first night’s escapade, ami it was on my lips to ask you to be my wife, but, than k God, you have saved me that humiliation.” • “Sir,” she said with great dignity, “I am entirely ignorant of your reasons for adopt ing this tone to me; out let me toll you tliat 1 awaited you litre tonight to arrest those words ere they were spoken, There are rea sons why I cun never marry." She would have left hint, but he grasped her wrists, "Why,” he said, are you so different at times! How could thin sweet, womanly being before me have done what I saw you doing this afternoonf” “I don’t understand!” “Child,” he said, solemnly, “don’t prevari cate or evade me now. God knows I love you and love you as an honorable man should. You are so young, so full of noble qualities, it i* impossible "that you can be given over to this wild life. Give up your Imul compainions, he true to your lief.tor self. Cannot my love make you lead anew life and forget the horrible past?” The effect of tliis speech on her was ex traordinary. Hhe flung off the warm cloak that euvelned her, and pushing her hair back from iter forehead looked up into his eyes with ashy white face. “For the love of mercy tell me where you saw her last!” she cried. A light broke upon the Captain’s mind. He saw everything clearly now. This beauti ful girl was mod. “When did you see her? whore did she gOf’ she went on oxeitely. "Oh! if you know wiiere she is. tell me, that I may find her. Don't think hardly of her; it was not her fault!” Blio elasuod her hands eutreatinclv. and waiting for his answer kept ||r eyes intently fixed on his face. “Why don’t you say something,” she cried impatiently. “You are cruel. If you knew how I love her you would help me to find her. Am I not coming to America to seek her?” Capt. Gordon suddenly perceived a cloak ed form creep behind Miss Tulloch and peer cautiously into her face. “Where did you know her? In Monaco, when she first ran away from us to marry that hateful Count? It wasn’t her fault. She loved him and he—he thought site had the money and when lie found it was all mine lie drove her to it. She had always beeihso lucky when we played in fun, and he forced her to play to support him.” The cloaked figure drew nearer and nearer, till now if Miss Tulloch had stepped back she must have brushed against her; hut she was too eager to think of anything but the an swer to her question. "Why don't you tell me? Do you think 1 don't know all? Do you think that I would allow her to be harmed? She knows I would not . My twin, my darling. When they told me that he —that wicked man had so in fluenced her that she forged my name to get the money I would so gladly have given her. 1 sent them to find her and tell her that I forgave her, and they brought me back word that she had fits! to America. You see I know all, and I am seeking her to beg her to come back to me and begin anew life. Now if you know where she is I im plore you to tell me, for I can never rest till I hold" my sister in my arms and tell her she is forgiven!” A half suppresed cry from the cloaked watcher made the Captain raise his eyes, and with an echoing cry tie started back. There, looking over Miss Tulloch’s shoul der, was another face the exact counterpart of her own. The cry made Miss Tulloch turn, and fora moment she stood face to face with her double, then with a joyous cry she sprang toward the watcher, her twin sister. “Ijoui.so! Louise"' but ere she could reach her the erring Louise Tulloch, without a word, bounded upon the taffrail, and with one glance at her sister, throw herself into the sea. Seizing the now frenzied girl in his arms, as site would have plunged after her unfor tunate sister, Caot. Gordon roused the ship with the cry of “Man overboard!” In an incredibly short space of time a boat was lowered, but it was too late; no trace of the lost woman was seen, anil after an hour’s fruitless search the ship went on her way. Months after Capt. Gordon learned the sister’s sad story from the li)is of the woman who was then his happy wife. A story of weakness and suffering of a foolish girl made the tool of a I nine man and of it young life blighted; but saddest of nil, the ending of that life iust when forgiveness was at hand and in the oblivion of anew world a new career could have lieen commenced and the past atoned for. A CLUB MAN ON DINNERS. A Millionaire Who Don’t Know How to Give Dinners. New York, May 21.— “ What are you thinking about, chappie s” The club man to whom this question was addressed started as though surprised at the discovery that he was capable of sufficient intellectual effort to think. Recovering himself, he replied: “I was thinking what a beastly bad dinner I had last night.” “Where I” “At the Martins.” “Bradley?” “Yes.” “He’s a millionaire!” “True, but he doesn’t know how to give a dinner. It's served on gold plate, the table is laden with Baroness de Rothschild roses that cost $1 50 apiece, the after dinner cigars cost as much, and your host shoves three kinds of Madeira at you, telling you that not one of the three can be equaled in tliis country; but for ali that the dinner last night wasn’t first class. ” “Wasn’t well cooked?” “Oh, yes; well enough cooked, and I’ll even go so far as to say that the various wines were served with the right courses. But for all that the dinner wasn’t first class.” “What the deuce was the matter with it, or with you ?” “You think perhaps I wasn’t first class) You're mistaken. I was prime.” “Grant that then. W hat was the matter with the dinner?” “It lacked refinement. I can’t say just where or how. Refinement is like the odor of a rose. You can’t define it. But a per son of refinement is painfully conscious of its absence in others. ’ From the eminence of his idealized refine ment he continued; “There are really only two houses in New York where you can get a [terfeetly ap pointed dinner. The head of one is a Euro pean, and his entourage reflects the taste of a cultured European—lie is Mr. August Belmont, the other gentleman, Mr. Francis R. Rives, is from the South. Some people —the parvenus of society—say the Bel monte are losing their grip on s >ciuty. They're not losing their grip; they are sim ply letting go of it. They are tired. You rarely hear nowadays of the people who were prominent in society here in tho days when the 'Belmonts were its unquestioned leaders. They are either dead or, like tho Belmonts, tired. When our society was smaller and more se lect ; when it was graced by tho beauty of Miss Wadsworth and tile loveliness of Miss Beckwith and enlivened by the brisk con versation of ladies iike Brookholst Cutting, and when bon mots wore remembered; in brief, in the halcyon days of society, the house of Belmont was the first in the city. August Belmont was the most cultivated rich man in New York, ami from his coachman to his button boy everything in his estab lishment was perfectly appointed. The same perfection of entourage exists in the Rives iwtablishment. No family in Now York society has so many real friends. Mr. Francis R. Rives was Hecretary of I yo ga t ion at the time his father was Minister to France.” “And these are the only two houses in New York where you can get a [lerfecliy appoint ed dinner?” “Tlte only two in which a large dinner is served in absolutely correct style. There are six other houses where they give admi rable small dinners—wltcre you foci that you can dine as well as you" can at your club. They ore the houses of Mr. Edgerten Wintrop, Mr. Frederick Bronson, Col. Will.inn Jay, Mrs. B. Cutting, -Mrs. G. F. Jones and Mr. James V. Barker. Mr. Parker especially is a capital host, and Lis entertainments revive memories of the glories of tlie old Parker House, now the quarters of the Manhattan Club.” "P/ut, dear boy, you oiait the A*tors.” “The Astors have had tlifir money for three generations, but they haven't gotten over tlw parvenue state yet. They haven’t acquired the art of living. ‘And the old Dutch families?” “The Van Rensalaers are only a name. The Livingstons—Maturin.of course—will, it's a good house to lie seen at. One of the twins, you know, married young Mills, and the otner G. Cavendish Bentluck, nephew of the Duke of Portland.” "And the Vanderbilts?"

It contains no ingredients save those natural to a good quality of cow's milk, and those in such proportions us would arise from evaporating four gallons of fresh milk to a bulk of one gallon. No' cane-sugar has been added. It’s flavor is that of boiled milk, and when mixed with three parts of water It.makes a beverag superior lx>th in richness and flavor to that usua'Jy furnished by city dairies. The boiling and canning pitx-ew to which it has been evidently subjected renders it perfectly free from Infectious germs which may have been in it and which fresh milk, on exposure, is prone to abs >rb an 1 transmit. Its hoalthfuluen and wholesomeness arc beyond question. Asa food for infants and children, I should comment it a> preferable to b >th fro ill milk and the ordinary sugared condensed milks—to the sugared condensed milks, owing to the fa *t that the large amount of sugar they contain conduces to the formation of fat, while the mi Ik in question operates to build up the bones and muscles of t,lv< growing child; to fresh milk, on account of its purity, unftormlty, and freedom from g wins—dualities difficult to s > -urn in the milk supply of cities mid indispensable to the health of the child: I consider this condensed milk a first-class article, well calculated to All a pressing want in our cities and wherever the mother finds herself at the mercy of the milkman.
