Katie's Answer-. *
Oeh, Katie’s a rogue, it is three,
Cut her eyes, like the sky, are so blue,
An’ her dimples so-swate,
Ail’ her ankles so mite.
She dazed, an’ she bothered me. too
Till one niornln’ we wtnt for a ride,
Whin, demure ns a bride, by my side.
The dnrlint, she sat,
Wid the wickedest lint,
’Neath a party girl’s chin iver tied*
An’ 1113’ heart, arrah, thin how it bate!
For Kale looked so temptin’ an’ swate,
Wid cheeks like the roses,
An' nil the red posies
That grow in her garden sonale.
But I sat just as mute as the dead.
't ill she said, wid a toss of her head,
“If I’d known that to-day,
You’d have nothing to say.
I’d have gone with my cousin instead.’
Thin I felt myself grow very bowld,
For I knew she’d not scold if I towld,
Uv tlie love in my heart,
That would never depart,
Though I live to be wrinkled and old.
An’ I said: “If I dared to do so,
.I’d lit go uv the baste, and throw,
Botli arms round your waist,
An’ he stalin’ a taste,
Uv them lips that are coaxin’ me so.”
Then she blushed a most litigant red,
As she said, widout raising her head,
An’ her eyes lookindowb,
’Neath her lashes so brown,
“Would you have me to drive, Misther

A FALL FOR LIFE.
The merchant ship Druid, from
Bombay for London, lay becalmed
off the west coast of Hlndostnn.
‘lf the wind does not rise before
tomorrow morning we will have to
anchor,’ said the captain to Robt.
Winfield, a handsome young naval
lieutenant on leave ofabscence from
the frigate stationed at Bombay.
‘I don’t want to lay the ship’s
bones ripen the coast, nor do I like
to get too near it. I have heard
bad stories of the natives there.
Bell Uptor., daughter of Major
Upton, who was on his way home
from his India regiment, on sick
leave; heard the words, and, shud
dering, drew closer to her invalid
father.
A quick glance was exchanged
between her and the young naval
lieutenant, whose reassuring look
seen ed at tnce to dsp 1 her
fears.
Major Upton, noticing the glance,
frowning, said to his daughter,
‘Come, Bell, let us go below.’
Winfield had been a suitor of
Bell’s since she came to visit her fa
tiler at Bombay, some months be
fore. The girl favored him, hut
not ro the Major, who wanted her
to choose a wealthy lover.
Bell was beautiful, with a form
of unrivaled grace, brown eyes, a
clear, pearl white skin, with little
color, and dark golden hair that
fell in ripling masses over a pair of
magnificent shoulders. The lieu
tenant watched her admiringly
until she disappeared in the cabin.
‘No harm shall befall her, not
while I live,’ he thought, ns he now
glanced uneasily towards the coast.
’We have arms aboard, have we
not?’ lie added aloud to the cap
tain.
‘Ay, ay, sir; but it is not likely
that we will be attacked. We are
full two leagues from the coast, and
before we are near enough to he
boarded a breeze will spring up, I
have no doubt.’
A few hours later night closed
around the ship. The sky was
covered by thick clouds which ob
scured the moon and seemed to be
token that a breeze would spring
up before long.
Meanwhile the ship having drift
ed a league nearer the coast, the
lieutenant thought the capiain very
careless not to have more than this
one lookout post furward oil so
dark a night.
Before eleven o’clock the quarter
deck was deserted by all save the
officer of the watch, a lazy fellow
who was now. stretched on the car
penter’s chest, half asleep, while
the watch forward, as Winfield
(who stood looking over the rail
amidships) could perceive by the
light ot a lantern in the fore rigging,
lay reclining on the hatch, some of
them snoring.
Not feeling sleepy, the lieu
tenant resolved to go aloft on the
LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1881,
mizzen topsail yard and watch for
the first Bign of a breeze. Arrived
on the yard, the gloom was so in
tense that be could not see the wa
ters below, altough he still gazed in
that direction. Was it reality or
imagination? He thought he could
detect the dim outline of something
shooting around the ships stern.
He was about descending, when,
the moon parting the clouds, a
flood of silvery light was poured
down on the ship and water, re
vealing a sight that filled the young
man with horror—a scene so sud
den and unexpected that his heart
seemed to stand still.
While lie was aloft Bell Upton
had cotue out on the quarter deck,
and now stood with her hack to
the rail, about two feet froimit her
head bowed as if in deep thought,
so that her beautiful white face
t-hoen like polished ivory in the
bright moonlight. Then unseen,
unheard by the young girl, a Hin
doo, with a long lithe body, naked
to the waist, had clambered up the
side from a large canoe containing
a half a dozen of his companions,
and had contrived to glide, serpent
like, on the outside of the ship un
til he had gained a position direct
ly behind her, when he drew a
large dirk, which he was now on
the point of plunging into the
snowy neck of the fair passenger,
that she might not give an alarm 1
The lieutenant’s hand clenched
the yard like a vise, as he beheld
the young lady’s peril. He must
save her —he would save her he
thought; yet, how was it to be done?
To give alarm would only hasten
the girl’s doom; to descend,no mat
ter how quickly, by means of one
of the backstays, would be of no
use, as she must perish before he
could reach the deck and attempt
to stay the deadly hand.
There was no time to lose. In
three seconds the dirk would de
scend, and the girl would be kill
ed at one stroke; so that the mur
derer’s companions, who Lad al
ready begun to ascend the vessel’s
side, could pounce on the male oc
cupants of the deck, and, slaying
them, make themselves masters of
the ship almost before a warning
could be given.
Like a lightning flash, the in
stinct of love, the resolution to save
Bell in some way trorn his imme
diate attack, sent a sudden thought
through the brain of the agonized
spectator.
The Hindoo murderer, in his po
sition on the outside of the ship,
was under the yard, although about
forty feet below him, while the giri,
standing two feet from the rail, wus
within easy reach of the native,
whose arm and lady, as already
stated, were drawn back from the
bulwarks to give force to the
blow. The young man, therefore,
deemed it would be an easy matter
to reach the Hindoo in the only
way it could tie done with suffi
cient rapidity to prevent the ac
complishment of his deadly pur
pose —away at once novel and des
perate, and which would, perhaps,
involve his own destruction.
In a word, not hesitating to risk
life or limb for the woman he loved.
Lieutenant Winfield resolved to
drop down from near the mizzen
topsail yard upon the Hindoo, for
ty feet below, and dash him from
the rail into the sea, perhaps kill
ing himself, ere he could deal the
fatal blow with the uplifted dirk.
He would utter a shrill cry—a war
ning to the crew—as lie cleaved
the air, thus rousing them,perhaps,
in time to meet the attack of the
robbers, and ensure the further
safety of Bell and the ship.
The emergency admitted of no
delay. The young man, clutching
the yard-arm near the end, hung
by it a second to make sure he was
in a line with the Hindoo beneath,
then, just as the dirk was about to
descend, he let go of the spar with a
long wild cry that p’eroed every
corner of the ship, and down he
went, cleaving through the air with
terrible velocity. There w.va whirl
ing, rushing sound then a loud thud
as the heavy boot-heels of the fall
ing body crushed upon the head
of the native ere he could use his
knife, dashing him from the rail
into the sea, and killing him in
stantly.
The watch heard the warning cry
of the lieutenant, atui before the
natives could recover from their
surprise ut the occurrence which
had so suddenly ami unexpectedly
hroken upon them, the decks were
alive with the whole crew, and the
entire gang of robbers beat a hasty
retreat.
Meanwhile 801 l Upton had been
so bewildered by that sudden, fear
ful cry she had heard, and the sub
sequent splash ot the bodies in the
water, that not until the boat was
lowered and the lieutenant, who
had been struggling in the sea, was
brought aboard and into the cabin,
to explain in a faint voice how In*
had saved her life, did she clearly
comprehend all that} had hap
pened. Then she threw herself
down by the prostrate form of her
lover, and lnir.g over him in agony,
f >aring that he was fatally injured.
Soon, however, the doctor gave
chering information to the contra
ry-
The young man had sustained a
fearful shock from his contact with
the Hindoo's body, but as that
body had offered little resistance to
his downward progress when lie
struck it, being simply driven be
fore him into the sea, his lower
limbs, although partially paralyzed
for the time, were not broken. lie
had, however, fallen dangerously
near to theraii. A roll of the ship
to the other side, ere he could let
go of the topsail yard to descend,
would have caused him to fall on
the bulwarks, when, of course, he
would have been killed.
‘N-iver before,’ said the doctor,
did I hear of such a daring per
formance.’
‘Ay!’ exclaimed Major Upton,
God bless him 1 Mere, Bell, he shall
have you, girl; he has earned you.’
He put both hands rtf liia
daughter in the lieutenant’s, and
turned his head away to hide a few
tears upon his bronzed cheek.
Immediately after the voting
man had been brought aboard, an
off-shore breeze sprang up, enabling
the captain to head seaward. In
due time the vessel reached her
home port, when the lieutenant,
who by this time had fully recov
ered from the c-ff cts of Isis fall,
claimed his beautiful a;.d willing
bride.
