THE WEEKLY CON- j
It was natural enough that Rich
ard Router, the good-looking second
officer of the ship Norman, should
lie in love with Dora Dane, the cap
tain’s daughter, who had accompa
nied her father for the voyage.
The sea breeze never fanned a ro
sier cheek than Dora’s; a lighter step
than hers never fell upon a vessel’s
fleck; a fairer form, or a brighter,
kindlier pair of dark eyes never met
the gaze.
But, although Dora liked Romer,
Captain Dane was opposed to her
having him for a husband.
‘Hark you* Dick,” he said, one
day, as the young man was “serving”
n backstay, “you’re a good sort of
chap, in your way; hut I tell you,
once for all, I’ll not have you trying
to win my daughter.”
| “Perhaps, sir, you think Mr. Far-
fow would please you better.”
j “Never mind what I think,” roar
ed the captain,Jiis flashing eyes and
iwelliag veins indicating that he was
t -person of violent temper.
Dora, who, on the other side oi:
the deck,, had overheard his las;
words, stepped up and took his
arm.
fFather, I would speak with you,”
$Jie said.
He permitted het to lead him be
hind the cabin.
Her very touch seemed to soothe
his irritation, for she had great in-
fiuence over him, and had often in
terfered successfully between him
and some poor sailor'lad whose blun
ders liadj aroused his anger.
: “You must learn yourself, father,
sho now said, stroking his arm with
her littlp jiand.
“People should not provoke me.
“But you should not be so easily
provoked. Mark my words, unless
you govern yourself better, yon will
yet do something that will ruin your
peace forever.”
She drew herself up, speaking in
so eolemu and motherly a fashion,
which forihed so great a contrast
with her smooth young cheeks and
scintillating black eyes, that, the
captain could not help laughing.
“I mean what I say,” continued
Dora, compressing her lips and shak
ing hqr head.
“Well, ‘mamma,’I will try to be
a good hoy,”:said the skipper, again
laughing/ ’Then jie added, serious-.
Iv. “But you must promise nieiiot
to speak to that Router again.”
j From brow to neck blushed the
young girl, and her long lashes fell
quickly over her eyesi
“Father what . have you against
Romer?” she inquired.
“He is not the sort of man to pro
ect you—to take care of you. Ho
in that of his daughter lie was detes
table. Now; at tho very mention of
his name, away she went with rust
ling skirts, sailing into the cabin as
Stately as d swan.
It wus a dark, misty night, a week
later.’ ,
Ruiner was on deck, vainly trying
to get a glimpse of the coast of Co
rea, which the vessel, on her way to
Shanghai, was passing. Tho coast
was not much more than half a
league to windward, and above the
whistling of the wind, which blow
almost a gale, the officer fancied he
bould hear the dull booming of the
Waves that washed the beach.
At length Dora came up from tlie
cabin.
She seated herself on a high benoh
which, for convenience, the captain
had lushed to the tulwarks, and the
top of which was almost level with
tho rail. *
* Your father does not like me,”
said the young man, in the course
of the conversation that ensued.
“No,” said Dora; “but f shall not
cease trying to change his feelings
towards you. I hope I will succeed
in time.”
If you only Could, dear girl!”
Just then the cuptaiu and Farrow,
popping out of tho companion way,
heard the speaker’s lust words.
The skippor was enraged. He
picked up a large block, the first
thing that came to hand, and hurled
it at Roincr.
Biit he had, in his haste, made no
allowance for the wind, and as the
second mate stood a little to wind
ward of -the girl, the block went
whizzing past him, and striking her
on the shoulder, knocked her over
board.
One wild cry escaped her as she
fell into the roaring waters; then sea
and gale drowned her gurgling voice.
“Back the main yard! Hard down
with the wheel!” rung tho voico of
Romer, ere the horrified, dismayed
captain could utter a word.
“ My child! My Dora!” he scream
ed. “Farrow!” he added, turning
f.O t. lift til’fit: MUlt.O null ourim tin/l
to the first mate, “you can swim and
cannot. Save her—-save my girl!”
“We will soon have the
down,” stammered Farrow. “I—I
am afraid we’d only both lie drowned
(tMiis dark night.
Yon see, ' weduigli tnot be found and
picked up at all.”
Completely unnerved at what had
happened, he trembled from head to

has not The pluck of a kitten!”
: “You are mistaken.”
“No. Sec how he lets the ,tnpa
|mposc on him.”
\ “You mean he is gentle with
them?” . jgs_ a
“Not that only. When they arc
working, and he sees them stop, now
and then, for a few moments, he
does not reprimand them for it, as
he should.”
“That is because he is kind. He
knows they are tired, and he wants
to let them rest. They do more
work that way, in the end, as he Lias
pften told oie.”
“Nonsense; it is easy enough for a
man to thus blind a woman that
ikesium. I tell yon it is because
he is lacking in spirit, and a person
of. that sort shall not have my daugh
ter. Now, look at Furrow! There's
a nmn for you!” ‘
Farrow was the first officer. He
would roar out at tho men in a voice
of thunder if they paused for half a
second in their labor to take breath.
He would shower opprobrious epi
thets upon them, and when Dora
was not on deck to hinder him, he
would throw marlinespikes and be-
laying-pins at their heads.
In fact, a veritable hero wus Far-
low, in the captain’s estimation, but
The capdain pjislied/ liim to one
side, as the ship wus brought up into
ih%p^iul and hurried his men to
lower the boat. Un fortu nately the fal Is
had become jammed in the sheave-
holes, and it would be some time
before the boat could be dropped
alongside.
“The child will bedrowned before
we reach her!” cried the agonized
father. “Quick, Farrow, cut adrift
the life-preserver.”
Furrow, somewhat dazed, stagger
ed aft, to find the life-preserver
gone. The boy at the wheel in
formed him that Romer had cut it
loose. ’-../W.
“The young lady hardly^touched
the water before he had it cut, and
was over after it,” said the lad.
“So he jumped after her!” mat
tered Farrow. He and the captain,
in their confusion and dismay, had
not observed the movements of Ro
mer, so fur aft in the shadow.
Tho bout being at last cleared and
lowered; a long search in the midst
and darkness was made for the gi’ri,
but she could not be found.
“She is lost and I am fhe cause of
it!’’ groaned the conscience-stricken
father. Hours passed before he gave
up the. search.
lint when he returned to his vessel
and learned that Romer had jumped
overboard after Dora with the life-
preserver, he indulged a faint hope
that he had succeeded, somehow, in
saving her.
Morning came, and eager eyes
were, turned scrutinizingly over the
waters and the shore.
But there was no sign either of
the girl or her lover.
The captain headed a boat to land.
It was Carefully searched, but not a
trace of the missing ones discover
ed.
“They, never reached the shore.
Ifc is plain they are drowned!” cried
the captain. -
He wont down into his cabin the
moment he was buck aboard the
ship.
His grief was terrible to witness.
He tore his hair, he wept and beat
his breast with his fists. Now he
realized the‘truth of wlmt Dora had
often told him—that Tiis violent
temper would yet be the means of
ruining his peace of min'd. But the
mischief was done, and the skipper
felttliht he was doomed to a life of
misery. For days he^ could not
bring himself to leave the locality
whore his daughter was lost. Aloft
he would go, and there ho would sit
for hours, with haggard face, Still
Watohing the blue waters that had
closed over his giiTs Anight- head.
His men thought ho was
his reason, while they all sympathized
with his grief. All had liked the
girl, and young and old mourned her
loss.
At last I'he-captaiu headed the ship
on her course.
She reached her destined port u
week later, Dane, the mere sliudow
of what ho had been, iii form aud
face, was leaning over .thcj&iF.wlwwj
a hbat was seea- 'approaching. It
eoiitained two persons—a girl and a
young man, besides tho oarsmen.
The captain gave a wild cry, as the
bout drew nearer.
Could he believe his own eyes, or
wus the sight a deception of the
mind 9
No; for others also beheld what he
did—both Dora and Romer, who
were the two passengers in the
boat*
The girl was soon in her father’s
arms. To the astonished witnesses
of her and her lover’s-re-appearance,
8he gave an account of her rescue by
the brave young mail.
When lie sprang overboard after
lior, he soon reached her side with
I lie life-preserver, which lie secured
to her.
A mThuTe luter the two’heurd the
sound of an approaching bout.
Romer shou ted, and the boat came
to them, but its occupants proved to
bo two Coieau thieves, or pirates,
who, after helping them in, threw
i hemsel ves suddenly on the young
mail and made fast his wrists, after
which they secured tho girl in a simi
lur manner. Romor, knowing wejl
the charade/ of the Coreans, at once
comprehended that these people in
tended to make slaves of Dora and
limself. After pulling a long die
tance, they headed for the land,
where twinkling lights indicated
there were habuailobs. There
was no light in the boat, and Romer,
taking advantage of this, contrived
to loosen the kriots of his thongs with
his teeth.
Ho darted at one of tho fellows,
and knocked him out of the boat
with a blow of his fist. The other
sprang towards him with a dagger,
but the young sailor, who had
picked up the fallen man’s oar,
struck him on tho head with it, also
knocking’him into the sea. Having
freed Dora, he then pulled in search
of hie ship, but, in the mist aud
darkness, which hindered his seeing
her light so fur off, ho probably went
a long way astray.
At last he fell in with a Dutch
schooner, and Dora and he were
taken aboard. He could not make
the crew understand a word ho said,
»nd the consequence was that the
vessel kept on her course, in a few
days reaching her destined port—
the same to which Dane was bound.
There, in lodgings with a missionary
and his wife, they had awaited the
arrival of their ship.
The joy of the captain at the res
toratiou to him of the beloved daugh
ter he had mourned us lost was great
er than can bo told.
He now appreciat | of
Romer, who, with all his moderation
of. manner, possessed much more
spirit and truo courage than could
be olaimed by the blustering first
officer. . Mr. Farrow.
The end of it was that the grate
ful father ohcerfuljy gave Dora to
her rescuer for a wife, and that ho
was ever* after a wiser mun, with
his violont temper under good con
trol.— Rufus Male, in K Y. Led

Next few Years to bo- Warmer.
[Chicago Nows.]
Scientists liavo about concluded
that tho decrease of spots on the sun
or solar inactivity, produces a cor
responding deoroaso in the amount
of heat received by the earth from
the sun. All investigators n:-o not
agreed on this point, it is true, but
those who do maintain this theory
have the force of logic on their side.
It is reasonable to suppose that tho
more the sen hustles around in that
heated climaie tho war mot* it gets,
nd the hotter it grows the mdre of
fort it makes to expel the inconven-
ient iTarirlte-of ‘ olUOi’Ic. The gr oil lot
tlio volhmo of heat thrown off, .tlie
larger is the percentage of that
which finds its way to us.
For those very cogent reasons we
must accept the opinion that; owing
to a reappearance of sun spots rind
other indications that Sol is prepar
ing for business, tho next few years
will be warmer. These periods of
increase and decrease of solar eccen
tricity cover about six years. The
summer of 1S89 is, therefore, likely
to be distressingly hot, although the
fall proceeding may be looked for
ward to with considerable anxiety by
fleshy persons, owing to local dis
turbances in areas of political tor-
ridity.

of guano with the request that lie

The guano was sent *o his foreman;

An Old Time Gluck.
[Charlotte N. C. Observer,]
FtuTior, the jeweler, yesterday re
ceived a clock for repairs, and on
pulling its insides out sa far ns to
get a working chance at thorn, he
discovered that the clock was a regu
lar, cabinet of curiosities. It was an
old time clock, with a pendulum a
yard long and cog wheels and gear
ing like a grist mill, and wrapped
around a half dozen of the wheels
was an old pOrus plaster that had
evidently been dropped in while it
was warm and the sticky side ready
for business. Ground down between
the. main gearing were the fragments
of a gutta-percha cotub, and scatter
ed around in odd nouki and comers
were eight teeth, three front beau
ties ana the other regulation grind
ers, with roots like a mulberry tree.
They were not artificial toetb, but
were tbe kind that make a iellow sit
up and nurse them when they get to
aebiug. There were.other minor ar
ticles deposited in the clock, but the
Jeweler took no note of them. He
cleaned ont the works, poured somo
oil on them, and when the owner
called a few minutes later tho clock
was ticking merrily. “Got her tick
ing; “well, for tho last two months,
me and my boys have taken it turn
about shaking the dummed old thing,
but somehow, it seemed an uphill
business. She never would go. He
laughed and paid for the work, but
the jeweler never told him whut
“ailed” the timepiece.
Hard ou Father*
A tombstone in a Western Massa
chusetts cemetery bears the follow-
ing somewhat ambiguous epitaph;
“Here lies the mother of children seven
Three on earth and four in Heaven:
Those who died desiring rather.
To go with wither than to live with father. ”
This seems a little rough ou the
oid man, but those who know say
that no lack of affection for “faiher’'’
inspired Qw wee. The deceased
children beiotiged to that phenome
nal class of infant$ who desire the
glory of the world beyond to a longer
sojourn in this.
