THE LIEEOSTS OF THE BRIG.
4•,•••••••••01...... ••••••
BY COLIN MIKAY,
The Boston brig, Mayflower, was a ram-
shackle old craft. Her high poop, sheering
prow and atumpy ripens reminded tire of
Vanderdeoken's phantom ship. When she
left Rosario, in Argent*, bound down the
river to Montevideo, to finish loading hides
for home,i. was second mate of hers Of
course, the firet night out I was considerably
under the weather, and hardly knew how I
managed to tand my watoh.
At seven bells in the morning I was
roused by a fracas on deok. The captain
was vehemently exhausting all the sulphur-
ous combinations in the lingua-Franoa of the
high seas. Inoidentrslly, he was aoausing
the sailors of looting the cook'galley dur-
ing the night.
"No, sir ; lweren't us," ()lionised the six
shellbacks.
When the captain paused for breath one
rascal remarked :
"It must ha' been the ghoste, sir."
sAt that the old man turned on his heel
and went below.
The sailors, holding on to their sides, ran
forward to the fo'oatstle.
The cook declared himself, vigorously,
incoherently, to the main course.
"What's upset the old man V I asked,
epproaching the mate.
"It's those dern ghosts," he ansWered,
1' What ghosts, sir ?"
"Humph! Don't you know the yarn?.
The brig's haunted—has been ever einne
those two fellows were washed off the jib.
boom. It was in the Gulf tream. The
brig was running off before amor'east squall,
and they were stowing the fling jib. The
old man was at the wheel, and he had let
her come up suddenly—he tnuet have been
drunk. She plunged her nose into a sea,
clean to the foremast, and, of course, the
men on the boom were washed away. It
was murder, all right, and ever since, off
and on, those fellows' ghosts have haunted
the ship. Shortly after four o'clock this
morning the lookout came running aft,
frightened out of his wits. Going forward,
I saw two white figures on the top -gallant
fo'castle, dancing a devil's hornpipe round
the oapsta.in. I'm, not superstitious, but I
oan tell you I got &scare."
The mate looked at me lugubriouels.
S'pose the ghosts rifled the doctor's do.
main," laughed
" aybe noti" said the mate. "Bet
when anybody mentions ghosts the old man
buttons up his lip and ups -stick for his
whiskey flask."
The brig sped along men ily, keeping close
to the southwest shore. The captain was
on the lookout for a.pampero, and a while
before midnight we shortened sail. The
ship was then four or five miles below
Buenos Ayres. It was a dark night—very
dark for that part of the world.
As I was about to sing out "-Eight bells !"
two hands in my watch came, running aft,
crying incoherently. The captain muttered
aghast, " Tne ghosts again," and hastened
below. With rollicking reckles.mess, I went
forward to investigate.
"Sure enough ! There on the fo'castle
head stood two figures looming ghostly
through the gloom. Spellbound, I watched
them for what seemed to be an age. Sud•
denly they emitted a shriek and jumped
over the windlass towards me. I did n t
wait to ask their burliness with me, but
skedaddled aft. When I reached the poop,
the shrieking phantoms were at my 'heels.
Seizing a pump handle, I made a sweep at
one ot them as he was clambering up the
poop ladder. But I struck only air. The
swing of the heavy bar nearly ()tithed me
overboard. Had the handle passed through
an unsubstantial ehade? No! The ghoft
had dodged, and now was stammering in
fright.
"Don't
kill me, Mr. A------, I'm not a
ghost—Pm only Sam."
The ghosts tore white sheets from their
shoulderand stood disclosed—two dern
shellbacks. Perhaps I didn't feel like
slaughtering the pair of them for making
such a fool of me ! "Get forward, you
scoundrels," I stormed. "Away wOh you,
or make ghosts of you for sure."
Good heavens, sir, let us be," they ex-
claimed. "The real ghosts were after us
aure. Didn't you see em ?"
"What are you fools frightened of?
What are you giving us ?" I roared.
"The ghos's are forward, sir, the real
ghosts. They came up out of the water,
dripping, ghastly. We'll never play ghoste
again—never, sir !"
At that instant the pampero struck the
brig, shrieking through 'the rigging like a
litany of Lucifer. The oaptain sprang on
deck, but there was nothing to do. The
brig, under a single topsail, leaped like a
race horse before the squall. In an hour or

"The ghost mu

don't like the isort of smoke going among
spirits and they wanted a pill' of a sailor's
pipe."
The slims cooled down a4 once.
That day it blew a little and we battened
down hatches fore and aft.; ,At night the
sailors slept in the waist' and stood their
watches there, too. Even a handspike
wouldn't persuade them to go forward to the
fo'castle. At ,intervals th! ghoets made
their presence known.
Next morn icig when I o ened the fore -
peaked hatch, two haggere , hairy beings
jumped on deok, olamorin for food and
drink.
" The ghosts !" growled t e men, running
aft. I ran, too. The ghost followed leie-
urely, laughing fit to eplit.
The captainsivas on the poop, and he
blocked the retreat.
"Who the devil—whalt are these scare-
mouehes ?" he asked.
" The ghoste," seys I, as selemn as seven
Solomone.
"Yea," said the tall,' lank,y one, "we're
the ghosts, and we're hungry and thirsty,
too."
"How did you get aboari ?" asked the
old man,

"Bub, captaio, we're hung y and thirsty.

"Getout," grinned the ol man, "ghosts

throw the both of you overboard."
Thereupon he eeizad a handspike, drove
them forward andlocked them in the dark
and dingy carpenter shop.
"No', my -fine lads,, ' he said, "

Every half hour the captain marched up
and down by their prison, taunting them.
They begged for something to eat, some-
thing to drink, but the old man had no pity
for them.
"Ghosts shouldn't eat oa dr luk,"he laugh-
,
ed, ironically.
A while after dinner the prisoners chang-
ed their tastios.

voice, audible all over the ship, " captain,

" You infernal rasaals,"he stormed. " Pll

umbiasout of you."
Then he went into his cabin, got his
keys, and went forward to lick those fools.
Then he opened the elide, looked in—and
then drew back with his face es white as a

"They're gone," exclaimed the old man,
in a weak, tense voice.
The prisoners had indeed vanished like
ghosts. No wonder the oaptaiu had turned
white.
At three in the afternoon the brig anch-
ored off the city of Montevideo. The cap-
tain went ashore immediately. At suncluevn
neither captain nor boats' crew had return-
ed, The mate haled a bumboate and hoisted
up his oheets. "I'm going to clear out,"
he ex-Plaine& "1 wouldn't stop another
night aboard this oraft for anything. The
old man won't come back, ynu bet."
After he had departed the sailors dumped
thir dunnage over the side into a boarding-
house runner's boat. I didn't object ; I
gathered up my luggage and went ashore
with them.
Some time during the evening the police
boat found the brig deserted and put a man
man aboard to watch her. The ghosts,
however, kicked up such a hideous racket
that he got soared and swam ashore. In
the morning the haunted brig was the topip
of conversation along the water front, The
captain resigned his command. The agents
took charge and put a watchman &boatel for
the day. The ghosts were relied on to
protect her from water thieves during the
night.
The agents the following day offered fab-
ulous wages for a shipper and crew to take
her home, but without NUMMI.
In the afternoon a tall man, middle-aged
and clean shaven, accosted me on the street,
After a few random observations, hel re-
marked:
"You hold a master's ticket, 1 believe"
Yee."
"Would you like a captain's birth at a
good salary ?"
Certainly ;:I'd jamp 6,6 a chance."
"Well, I can put you in the way of pne,

" Well, what ?"
He watched me narrowly for a space.

" Not very well I" I admitted, "He'.
an old skinflint."
"Good ! You won't mind doing him a
bad turn. What I want you to do is to
take the May flower home. I'm a mate ;
ship with you and get you a crew.
"'My friend," laughed I, "your propori•
tion won't go. I have had enough of, the
Mayflower. I would not own her, re uch
less sail her."
My would-be mate laughed in turn, up-
roariousy. •
"The ghosts won't bother you 'Bey
more," he stammered. "I'll guarantee to
lay them for good. I'm one of them."
- Observing him closely, I noted a resem-
blance to the tall, lank ghost. A clean
shave and good clothes made a great differ-
ence, but the resemblance was clear. The
recognition etartled me.,
"Don't get searedagain," he remarked,
noticing my trepidation. I'm flesh and
blood, I assure you."
"But your dissappearance !" I ejaou-

up for smuggling. She has a lob of secret
slides and cunningly hidden holes, that her
last skipper 'didn't know about. I lwas
mate of her twenty years ago and I knew
how to get out of the carpenter shop down
into the hold. A dozen men could hide in
some of her hollow beams."
"And your first appearance—explain
that."
"My chum and I were in a boat. You
see, we heel been ehanghaied aboard a blue-
nose barque. While she was lying in the
river some miles' below Buenos Ayres, we
stole a boat and started for town. Seeing a
vessel's light coming down the river, and
fear ipg a pampero we decided to board her.
Swinging under the bows, we clambered up
the bob stay. Of °our/m.1 knew the brig at
once, and when we clambered over the bows
and saw two ghostly figures on the fo'castle
head—well, I was a pretty scared man
When they fled aft, however, shrieking
with fear, we saw that we were taken for
ghosts, and knowing how the eaptain had
drowned two men, we determined to have
some fun."
Men who do business on the great water&
are prone to superstition, and even after the
mysterious manifestation aboard the brig
had been explained, I felt diffident about
making another trip in her. But, being a
young man, I could not lightly ignere ,the
hence of obtaining a command. My lanky
riend appealed to my ambition, and iad
is way.
The agents engaged me at once, on my
wn terms. Of mime we kept quiet about

oyage home.—Ainslee's Magazine.

Every baby—every little one—requires
oonetant care and watchfulness, and when a
trace of illness is noticeable, the remedy
should be promptly applied. The little
ones are frail. Their hold -upon life is slight.
The slightest symptom of trouble should be
met by the proper corrective medicine.
Baby's Own Tablets have a record surpass-
ing all other medicines for the cure of child-
ren's ailments. The are purely vegetable,
and guaranteed to eontain no opiate or
poisonous drugs such 'as torm the bare of
most so•called "soothing" medicines. , For
'sour stomach, colic, simple fever, constipa-
tion, all bowel troubles, the irritation ac-
companping the cutting of teeth, sleepless -
nese and rimple symptoms, these Tablets
are without an equal. They act directly
upon the organs which oause the troubles,
and gentlen but effectively remove the camas
and bringt back the condition of perfect,
hearty health. Every mother who has used
these Talipte fer her little ones praises
them, which is the beat evidence of their
great worth. Mrs. David Duffield, Poneon-
by, Ont., I say, :—" Baby's Own Tablets
are a wohderful medicine. I think they
saved my baby's life,and I gratefully recom-
--inend them to other mothers. Ask your
druggist for Baby's Own Tablets. If he
does not keep them, send 25 cents direob to
us and we will forward a box pre -paid. We
have a valuable little booklet on the oare of
children and how to treat their minor ail-
ments, which we will send free of oharge to
any mother who asks for it. The Dr. Wil-
liams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ontario.
The King's Perquisites.
A king has many privileges, but the od-
dest of all King Edward's rs surely the right
he has by statute to the head of every whale
caught on the coasts of his kingdom. The
tail is to go to Queen Alexandria. The ob.
jeot of the division being to guarantee that
the Queen's wardrobe shall be furnished
with whalebone. King Edward is not
likely to receive many whales, however long
he may reign, but there are many perquis-
Ales of the Crown which are not so rare as
whaler' in England. The King is entitled,
for instance., to every sturgeon brought to
land in the United Kingdom. One of them
caught in the Theme!, was on the table at
Queen Victoria's wedding banquet. The
king should receive too, every year, from
divers persons, a tablecloth worth 3 shillings
two white doves, two white hares, a oats-
pult, a pound of cumin seed, a hose and a
halter, a pole' of scarlet hose, a currycomb, a
pair of tongs, a crossbar, a coat of grey fur,
a nightcap, a falcon, two knives, a lance,
worth eight ehillings, and a silver needle
from his tailor.
The Public Look For It.
The publio look for and demand true and
honest dispensing when prescriptions are
taken to the drug store. Our dispensing
department is conducted on such perfected
plans that errors are imposeible. Strict at -
tendon to business, pure drugs and medi-
cines and low prices have won for us astiosi-
tion second to none in the drug trade.
THE KING THAT CURES.
If you are suffering from headache, indi
geetion, heart trouble, liver complaint, kid
ney dieeese, or ills resulting from impure
blood, we strongly ads ire you to use Paine's
Celery -Compound. It is the greatest ban -
idler of disease, the only medicine that oan
bring you health and new life. Try a bot-
tle of Paine's Celery Compound if you feel
weak or rundown ; it is a marvellous
strengthener.

The Whale is Dead.
The whale which has been attracting
thousands of people to the Montreal harbor
aince its first appearance nearly three weeks
ago, is dead. It gave up the ghost some
time during Wednesday night of last week.
Thursday morning, a lone fisherman of
Longueuil, A. Saboriu by name, who was
out before the rest of the town was astir,
saw a black mats stranded on tbe beach.
it was the whale, dead. He dragged the
caroms ashore, where he stood by it until
some other fishermen appeared on the scene.
To these he proved his right to his find, and
enlisted their help in dragging the enormode
fifth some way up the beach. Lying on the
—beach the whale was measured, and found
to be just short of forty feet long, while its
girth, at its greatest thickness, was about
twelve feet. The under garb of its body
was torn into shreds through scraping
against jagged rocks in the shallows of the
river. Its head is scarred and pitted as
with bullets, while parts of its enormous
tongue seemed to have either shot or eaten
away.
Asoon as Saborin and his friends had
dragged ib ashore they proeeeded to dis-
embowel the animal. The water of the St.
Lawrence cannot have agreed 'deb the
whale, as parts of it were almost putrid.
The stench, when its body was opened, was
so sickening that even the hardened fisher-
men who were at work upon it could only
stay alongside the carcass for a few minute 8
at a time.
Sabath' exhibited the whale all day to
visitors from Montreal, five mita each being
charged to take the tarpeulin off. He has
refused five hundred dollars, it is said for
hie find, froin parties who wish to exhibit
it.
Saborin has since sold the monster of the
deep to a museum manager in Montreal for
$800. It was lucky for him that he was an
early riser on the morning Of the find.

A Study in Liquor Capital.
In answer to the conetent claim of the
liquor interests that prohibition would
throw out of employment a multitude of
men, who now find work, and therefore
support for themselves and their families in
manufacturing liquors, ,the Prohibition
Union in this city has issued a leaflet that
was used on Labor Day with the title, "Out
of a Job." This leaflet shows that in Rode,
ester, New York, there is capital to the
amount of $6,455,000 invested in brewing ;
$6,150,000 invested in the manufacture of
clothing,. and $3,281,000 in the boot and
shoe industry. It then makes the following
table of capital, men employed, and ,wages
paid by these three industries:
DOLLARS ,NisN WAG.
INVISTBD EMPLOrID PAW.
Breweries e6,465,000 434 8 881,e00
°ol°oItheniangd 6,160,000 8,182 1,661,000
Shoes 8,281,000 4,888 2,031,000
B
The leaflet then says: One half of the
investment in the shoe industry employe
eleven times BB many bands, and pays five
times as much in wages as the beer in-
dustry. The same investment that gives
employment to 434 naen in the breweries of
Rochester would give employment to 9,736
hands if it was invested in making shoes.
The picture frame factories of Rochester,
with 32 times less capital invested, employs
24 more hands than the breweries, and with
the same amount of money invested would
employ 13,000 help. Apply theee facts to
the country at large; divide the money that
is now spent in the saloons among the
'the twenty leading necessaries of life, and
it would require $4,000,000,000 more raw
material than is now used in the manu-
facture of drink to manufacture them and
give employment to 1,347,000 more men."
These facts are creating a profound im-
pression with readers, especially among the
working men.—The New Voice.

Dr. Parker's Libray.
-When a clever euthor recently asked Dr.
Parker how he manages to draw thousands
to bis City Temple id London simply to hear
him talk, he said : "You would under-
etand if you read my library." "Is it such
a good one ?" asked a liatner. "Oh, it's
good, bad, indifferent, grand and squalid,'
answered the mighty talker. " It's every-
thing, its in underground trains and on
'buses, in aerated tea shops, smart restaur-
ants, at churches, atations, parties, recep-
tions, meetings, jubilees and sick beds; you
find it in prisons and boudoirs. The fact is,
you can never get away from it. We call it
human nature'lor want of a better name.
I study it—that's why I call it my- library.
Moat men don't, you see. But that's why
I am listened to."

A PERMANENT CURE.
This Case Demonstrated that
Dodd's Kidney Pills Cure Abso-
lutely and Permanently.
QUEBEC, Que., Nov. 11 (Special)—Away
back in May, 1898, the papers publithed
statement made by Mr. Sam Dean:whets, of
this city, stating that he had suffered with
Diabetes for five years and that he had
been cured by Dodd's years,
Pills.
At that time some people seemed inclined
to, believe that he was not permanently cur-
ed, and that the disease would return when:
he left off taking the pills.
Mr. Deerochers was heard from again the
other day in an interview published in one
of the papers.
He is as well as he deer war, and states
positively that he has not had the slightest
return of an of the symptom of Diabetes
since he was cured in 1898.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the‘enly remedy
that has ever cured Bright'e Disease, Dia-
betes or Dropsy.

The White Plague Advances.
Consumption is gaining headway. Why?
Bad colds are allowed to run on neglected,
Catarrh sets in, is not checked,and Consum-
ption is the result. Why not use Catarrh -
ozone regularly? It cures colds in a few
hours, and no ease of Catarrh can withstand
it. Catarrhozone cures by the inhalation of
medicated air which goes to all parte of the
hinge, throat and breathing -organs. A
pleasant, certain, quick cure follows the use
of Catarrhozone, whieh is guaranteed under
all conditions to cure Catarrh, Bronchitis

--The inquest on the death of the late
Michael Hagerty, of Ellis township, who
was found dead on the road beside his wag-
on load of grain, near Brunner, on October
25, was concluded at Wurtburg, at a late
hour Tuesday night, after a couple of ad-
journments. The evidence went to show
that the deceased had considerable money
on him during the day of hie death, but 110
evidence was adduced that would support
any other theory than that the decease&
came to his death by falling off his wagon.
It was brought out at the inquest that the
deceased, with -others, bad been drinking at
the hotel of John Gropp, ati Brunner, on
the day of the fatality. The verdict WAS tO,
the effect that the deceased came to bis
death by accident, A strong protest Wu
entered against hotel keepers " anowlog
people to become intoxicated and then to•
leave their premises unattended and unwed -
for."
How a Sprain Does Hurt I
But it i sn'e the pain alone that is dreaded,
just think of the loes of time and wages.
Sprains without number have been cured by
rubbing Poleon's Nerviline well into the
pores of the akin aurrounding the joint. No
matter whether it is a sprained wrist, ankle,
knee or back, just try Nerviline on it, Eta
see how quickly it will cure, There is only —
one liniment that can be depended upon to
cure sprains, strains and swellings, and that
is Poison's Nerviline. Large bottles 25.
