"DO YOU WANT
A WIFE?'!
A Tale of the New York
Emigrant Station
Ey SARAH G. TREVOR
The town of! ,Aberaeron, on the coast
of Wales, lochs out westward on the
Waters of the 'Atlantic, Here lived a
young man jurat com1ang of age who,
dissatisfied :with the limited opportuni-
ties afforded hies in a little Welsh
town, purposed to emigrate to Ameri-
ca. The ,Welsh language is renowned

Therefore $I shall have to give the

John, 'despite itis ambition to im-
prove his fortunes in new fields, was
much attached to his beloved Wales,
His neighbors loved him, and be loved
them. In the house next to his home
lived a t°amily with whose younger
members he had been brought up.
There. were two boys, one about his
bwn age, another a few years older,
and at the time this story commences
a little girl—we will call her Mary—
about eleven years of age.
:'John spent some time trying townie
up hie mind to go to 'America. and
more time raising they money to 'take
him there. Then be Went about bid-
ding his neighbors gopdby, and by -the

he said: -
"When r 'have made my fortune in

Sore child, seeing the sadness in bis
eye, clung to him, winding her arms
around his neck, loath to let him go.
"Aren't ye a ever coming back?" she
irked.
"I'm afrffd''not—at any rate, not till
rye made myself independent."
The parting over, John went up to
Saiverpooi, where be took steerage pas-
sage for New York. In due time he
landed and went to wi)rk at his trade.
Eight years passed, during which
there were great changes among the
friends John had left in the little toy
of Aberaeron. Little Mary's father cu d
mother had died and left her in l.ov-
emrty. She was now nineteen years old
and willing to work, but what could
She do in a little seacoast town in an

ture of John .for America. Xt had been
quite an important event in the quiet
I11ace and had made an impmsdon on
the child's mind. America had then
been do far distant that she fancied
7olln :would be a year or more in get-

could ho do to avert the calamity? Ho
had some armament, but not enough to
e
protect his own vessel, to say nothing
of the Dole. He had two six -pounder
guns, ono on the port, the other on the
starboard bow, and he had painted his
ship's side to represent openings for
ordnance, his object Wing to matte It
appear that he was armed with twen-
ty guns instead of two. But the pirate
would soon discover his deficiency, and
MON more guns than Spencer felgped
to have and of higher caliber be could
make short work of tbe Pelican.
"W'e'll fight him, boys," said Spencer
to his crew, "and we have one ad-
vantage—we won't have to walk the
plank. As soon as one ofher r shots
e
sjjrikes our blasting powder we'll go to
Uavy Jones' locker."
But his active Yankee brain during
the whole of that fearful night never
ceased trying to find some way to cir-
cumvent the pirate that he might save
all the Lives that were to be sacrificed
on the morrow. When daylight carne
all of the crew of the Dote and many
of the passengers were on deck. There
was a ghost of a hope for them in the
Pelican, for they had been deceived
by her painted ports. The first object
that stirred on the pirate was a man
walking to the stern. When he reach-
ed it he hauled"up a -ball of bunting
and broke the skull and crossbones.
Those on the Dole shuddered. Then
men appeared here and there, some of
them • carrying arms from point to
point. One of them, who appeared to
be the captain, stood on the poop deck
giving orders.
The Pelican lay perfectly still, but
presently men were seen raising her
anchor. This, evidently attracted the
pirates' attention. Suddenly a puff of
smoke broke from her bow, and a shot
went skipping toward the schooner. A:
gun boomed on the latter ship. Excla-
mations denoting hope came from those
on the Dole. Would there be a fight?,
But no. The pirate fired several shots
and elicited no reply. The only com-
fortfor those on the Dole was that
the' Pelican would be first destroyed.
The Pelican's single shot was in ac-
cordance 'with a plan laid by Captain
Spencer after midnight—a plan yet 'lit-
tle more than a hope. His object in
firing at the pirate was simply to indi-
cate that he had better dispose of the
Pelican before attending to the Dole.
Such was Captain Crocker's decision.
Having got up his anchor and having
failed to elicit any more firing from
the schooner, he prepared to go to her
and take possession.
Those on the Dole saw with agony
that the Pelican must soon be taken. All
on board would be dispatched or forced
to walk the plank, and then the pirate
would do the same by those on the
British ship. Some 'went below to tell
the others that there was no hope;
others remained to see a slaughter that
would soon be visited upon themselves.
The pirate hoisted a jib and foretop -
sail, which gave her headway enough
to take her to her victim. The latter
had raised her anchor, but did not
hoist a sail. The crew stood in a group,
apparently waiting to die without re-
sistance. One man was in the rigging.
Had it not been for the hopelessness
of the situation perhaps -his being
there might have excited attention.
Captain Seymour noticed an arm ex-
tending from where the man was lo-
cated, from the' outer end of which a
rope drol'ped to the deck, but so full
of env! .h was he, that it made but
little irlpression upon hlm.

• .w' and again diverting his glance
nom his coming enemy to the man in
the rigging.
Suddenly Seymour gave an order,
and the crew ran to the halyards. tip
-went the sails and the Pelican began
tto move.
Then fora few minutes followed a
maneuvering, the pirate trying to get
near enough to his enemy to board
her, the Pelican aiming to keep her
off. The latter had an advantage in
having up more sail. The pirate, be-
ing sure of its victim, did not add to
it own canvas. Presently, when the
two vessels were but half a dozen
yards apart, those on the Dole saw the
arm that has been mentioned by means
of the rope attached swung outward
by men en deck. so that it was turned
toward tete pirate. Then the man in
the rigging, holding -something in his
hand that looked like a glass carboy,
climbed out on the arm and, swinging
what he held, tossed it on to the pi-
rate's deck.
The passengers on the Dole saw a
sight that filled them with a delirium
of surprise and joy. They flew to each
others arms, laughing and weeping.

Whether John had moved from where

letter in auswer to hers had miscar-
ried she did not know, she had
raised the money to tako her, and a
friend of here, whom we will call
Charlotte_, was about to start for New
York. She persuaded Mary to go with
her, trusting to luck for some way of
overcoming the immigration restric.
tions. Mary, fearing that if she re-
mained in Wales tbe money she had
for her passage would dwindle and
she could get no more, decided to take
the chances.
\Yuen the two friends reached New
York and were transferred with other
immigrants to Ellis island Mary found
that what she feared was true. Not
having any means with which to sup-
port herself and no one to guarantee
that she would not be a burden on
the .country, she was told that she
Iwould be sent back to England.
"I am strong and ready to work,"
she said to the matron In charge of tits
women imnligr»nfs, "and 1 am sure 1

"i am sorry for yon," replied the
I matron, "but your case docs not come

brought within the law?" asked Char-
lotte.
'The only way is for some one to
i marry her."
This was cold eotnfort, for there was
but one ntnn in Anteric'a Mary knew,
and she had failed ever to reach him
by mall, Among a hundred million
people she was not likely to Lind him
and If she did certainly would not pro -
.pose marriage to hint.
1llnry was given a reasonable time to
find a way to prove that she would be
self supporting, anti her friend Char-
lotte would not leave ber till she had
clone so or had sailed back to Europe.
Several days passed, anti, no solution
of the problem inventing, Mary was
notified that she would be deported on
a steamer that was to salt the next
day. in the morning Mary and Char-
lotte were standing on the dock, dts•
consolnte, waiting for the tender to
tnke the former to the ship. in which
she was to return.
"If you only had time," said Char-
lotte, "I am sure you could find a hus-
band. I wish I wel'o n lean. I would
marry you myself. I'm going to ask
the next man who comes along if be
won't marry you."
A young Gerinan passed, and Char-
lotte asked hint in the Welsh language
if he wouldn't help a poor girl to get
Into the country by marrying her.
"Nicht rersteh," replied the man.
A man appeared who looked into the
face of every one he passed as if seek -
Ing some one. Charlotte called to him:
"A oes cisian gwriag arnoch chwl?"
(Do you want a wife?)
The man in the same language re-
plied, "I'tn looking for a Welsh girl
from Aberaeron."
"We are from Aberaeron."
When John left Wales he was twenty
years old and was now twenty-eight.
He had not changed so much but that
Mary could recognize him in the

young girl with cheeks o'f pink rind

part of the dock., -

I have remembered that elle had grown

that when you became a woman I

Mary said nothing, keeping her eyes
fixed on the panorama before her—Cas-

Rroolclyn brldges and the skyscrapers
of lower New York.
"If you'll consent to marry me here
now it will save a lot of trouble. Say
the word and we'll go inside, call a

If Mary had used the common
phrase of a lady receiving a proposal,
"It's'so stidden," she would have made
a record for telling the truth. She

extempore mounted infantry columns.
A large number of details had been
dumped down at Vredefort Road Sta-
