"I have never yet seen a ghost, but I think I have been taken for a ghost, &n<l unless I am out of my reckoning there's a man, if he is still alive, who has been haunted by me these thirty years." So said an intelligent-looking man who represented himself as the jBecoud mate of an East India clipper cne day recently in the office of a South Street chandler shop. + There was much / in the remark to excite curiosity, and the maD who had undergone the strange experience referred to was begged to spin his yarn, which he readily con­ sented to do. "About thirty years ago--perhaps more," he began, "I was in London, where I had landed, a lad of fifteen, After my first voyage. It was the time of the gold fever in Australia, but 1 : "wasn't anxious then to go to the dig­ gings, so I shipped on a bar.c of about HtO tons that was bound to Singapore. *The skipper was the greatest tyrant I Jiave ever sailed under, and his mate * "was nearly as bad as him. Both were ' • !Englibhmen, I am sorry to say, because ' -1 am English myself. The second mate Was a decent enough fellow, I thought, but he didn t seem to bo of much ac­ count on board. The skipper and the inate boih thrashed me eyerv now and / then, but I was a hardy youngster, and : managed to stand it. The chap who ' came in for the most thrashings was a Hpauish sailor we called Antone. He took the lickings quietly, but at times • lie looked mighty revengeful. Tuere -"was a big, heavy-built sailor that we called Pete, the Swede. Somehow neither the mate nor captain ever tack- ' led him. Early one afternoon, when T "we had got into the Straits of Malacca, xtnd were, as we understood, within less 'than a day's sail of Singapore, Antone dropped a bucket of slush on the olean ^•ileck. The skipper and mate knocked him down and springing upon him be­ gan to pound him. Suddenly the skip­ per sprang up and I saw blood spurting . from a gash in his side. He staggered foreward on his knees and seizing his : own knife plunged it into Antone. The Jatter was then strugling with the mate. Several of the watch ran up and pulled the two apart. But there M-as a wound near the heart of the mate which had been made by the knife of Antone. V The latter was stone dead and the skip­ per and mate never spoke again. The mate did not live ten minutes, while the pkipper died within thirty minutes. "The second mate was called on deck by one of the sailors, but he did not get up in time to see the stabbing. All ; hands, of course, debated as to what we should do. The secomd ' mate was entitled to take com- tnand, but he had little to say in the jmatter. Pete the Swede did all the ordering, and every one obeyed him. • "We had been running close to the wind, but Pete had the yards squared and We stood in toward the shore. We all went aft so that the man at the wheel *• could have his say in the council of war. The crew were divided. Pete and the majority wanted to scuttle the bark and divide the money in the cabin and to leave it to be supposed that the ^bark had been lost in the storm. The * - second mate agreed with Pete. The „ carpenter said that we ought to keep on our regular course until we fell in with a pilot and to report the killing of the* skipper and mate. Pete said our • etory would never be believed. We .would probably all be arrested, and perhaps hanged on the charge of mu- tinty, The carpenter had only the steward, cook, one able seaman, and any self to back him, while Pete and the second mate had eight men besides t themselves on their side. We were rapidly getting in toward the shore, ' but we wen leaving the track of the other vessels and of the pilots. The carpenter protested against this, but Pete kept on just the same. Shortly (afterward sounding showed about ten fathoms of water, and Pete ordered one of the anchors to be let go. The sails • were Bimply clewe 1 up, and no attempt was made to furl them. The matter was talked over again, but the carpen­ ter's party still held out. Pete went into the cabin and burst open the locker where the money was kept. He said that there were several thousand pounds, and that we had only got to ' divide it up evenly. The carpente'- , called us that were backing him to one side and told us that we bad better pre­ tend to give in. I noticed at the time that Pete and some of his men were looking at us suspiciously. "We agreed to the carpenter's pro­ posal with the understanding that as soon as we got into Singapore we should report the matter to the proper authori­ ties. l'ete said that before we divided > the money we had better lower tho long boat and dicp it a^p.. Weights were hisf«ilovi» MH- "<+ . «M washed apt It fk, and Pete said that t very well scfl$tlb the bark "ore morning, and proposed that we should break into the storm and get a drink or two. Then I suddenly felt myself seized from behind. I was over­ powered sad my hands tied. I looked around sad saw that the carpenter and his other three backers were in the same fix. We were walked to the for­ ward hatch, which wss opened and we were pushed down into the hold. Pete the Swede said as he put down the hatch over us: 'I don't want to kill you fellows, but I can't trust you; if we nit on a plan to-night for saving you we'll give you a chance when we scut­ tle the bark.' We knew that we were in a tight fix, but while there was life there was hope. We turned to and helped one another untill we got our hands free. Then we sat down on the boxes of cargo and talked our case over. We could hear occasional veils, which showed us that the men had got at the whisky and were making the most of its. The steward said there was a good deal of it in the cabin, and he was afraid that the men wouldn't be apt to deal kindly with us while they were in liquor. * v "The hole was filled with bales and boxes of cargo up to within a few feet of the forward end where a bulkhead of heavy boxes left a place where you could climb down into the fore peak. Here we supposed was where they would go to work to scuttle the bark. 'I wish I had my tools here,' said the carpenter. 'What good would they do you--would you scuttle the bark now ?'asked the cook. 'No,'says the carpenter, 'but I could cut a hole through the planking here for one of us to crawl out through, and swim aft to the boat. Then he could bring her around here, and wo could all climb out into her and escape.' The cook seized the carpenter and said, 'I saw them putting in the cargo at London, and they stowed right down here about twenty carpenters' chests.' In just one second we were groping around for that sort of cargo. In about two min­ utes the carpenter found a chest under some bales. We got this out and broke it open, and the carpenter felt for the tools he wanted. 'We must wait a bit,' said he, 'they'll all be dead drunk in a little while and no one will be on the lookout.' The shouts of Pete's gang soon stopped altogether. Then the carpenter slid down the fore-peak with his tools. He decided ou a spot which he thought was a little above water­ mark and went to work. It took him some time to start a place for his saw to begin work. In the meantime we listened, ready to warn him in case any of Pete's gang came to the fore hatch. The sound of the carpen­ ter's saw was musio to ns. Finally we saw a ray of what looked like licrht, al­ though it was long after dark. We all climbed down into the fore peak, and the cook undressed and putting a knife in his teeth, got through the hole that the carpenter had mads and dropped into the water and swam away. It seemed an age while we listened for the sound of an oar. Frequently water would dasli through the hole on to us, but we paid no attention to it. Finally the sound of an oar reached us, and the cook came up with the boat, into which we all got. Ho told us that he had cut the painter close to Ihe boat. Then we rowed away. I'll never forget the black hull of that bark as it looked when we began to draw awav from it. "There was a little bread and water in the boat, but no compass, and no one knew the coast. We soon rested on our oars and drifted about. It was probably theu a little before midnight. It was clear, but no moon was out. Toward morning the sea grew rough and we had to bail out the boat with onr hats several times. As soon as day broke we began to look about for some passing vessel. The land seemed to lay abont as it did the afternoon be lore, and we steered toward it. In a moment one of us noticed two poles sticking out of the water. We-got nearer to them aud could make out the fore and main royal masts of the bark. We could tell them by the gift balls at the ends. The bark was scuttled and the hole we made had do:ie the business. 'They might have done it themselves,' said the car­ penter. 'Not as long as the whisky lasted.' said the steward. We con­ cluded that the men had remained in a drunken stupor until the ship in sink­ ing had heeled over to one side, and then water had filled the cabin, drown­ ing every one there. We agreed that we had not intended to drown the fel­ lows and our consciences did not trouble us. The carpenter might have cut the hole a little higher up, but we all thought he ought to be excused for his mistake. And wo didn't mourn much for Pete and his g&n£- We got in close to the shore, but we found no place where we thought it safe to land. SO we rowed along, keeping the land in sight until it Mas neiyly evening, when we found ourselves approaching the harbor of Singapore. "A sailing vessel came along and we hailed her. The Captain agreed to take ns in tow and asked few questions. He may have taken ns for a pleasure party, which we were not. The vessel drop­ ped anchor well in the harbor, but it was late at night before we reached the quay. We agreed to say nothing about the loss of the bark to anyone until we had reported to the agent, whose name the steward knew. We were making inquiries along a street fronting on the water when the car­ penter pointed out a public house on a corner a little way ahead and told me to ask the people there if they knew where our agent could be found. As I came up to the„public house I mistook the window on the side street for the door. The latter was on the main gtreet But as the window was open I looked in. At the bar stood a large man drinking, I looked at him closely and saw that it was Pete, the Swede. He laid down his glass and glanced to­ ward the window just outside of which I stood. When he saw me his eyes seemed to stick out of his head and his hair seemed to stand on end while he shook like a leaf. I stood looking at him. I was frightened out of my senses,and I must have stood like a block of stone or a ghost. I didn't know whether to cry out or run. Pet© looked at me for a few seconds and then backed slowly away, keeping his eyes on me until he reached the door. Then I heard steps as if some one was running. I waited for a moment and then went into the public house and asked if any one knew where our agent stopped^ No one there did. I went back to the car­ penter and told him what I had seen. We ooncluded that the whole gang had escaped. We kept up our search until nearly morning before we could find the agent. We told him our story, and he tried to haw Pete and his gaug ar­ rested. All the vessels bound to' A us- early the morning aiteir to Pats , aaif thefsUc^rs^ad money in the cabin. The agent' gave ns onr wages sad shipped ns on a bark bound to Melbourne, where we sepa­ rated, all but the book and I going to the diggings. We made up oar minds that the fellows came to just before the bark sank, and that they launched, one of the other boatq, thinking that the painter of the one lowered the day before had pined. They probably thought the bark had insviaging struck a rock, and that we were still in the fore hold when the bark went down. They couldn't have dreamed of our cut­ ting our way out. They knew the ooast better than we, so that accounted for their getting into Singapore befofe us. "Pete Biast have taken me for a ghost as I stood in the dark just outside the window of the lighted taproom of the public house. Somehow the real facts about the loss of the vessel didn't get out. It was generally believed that she was wrecked. And I believe that Pete and the fellows of his gang took^ care afterward to give a wide berth to Singapore, and rarely said anything to strangers about the voyage that came so near winding up with the drowning of them. And I have no doubt that np to the present day, if he's alive, Pete the Swede once in a while sees just outside some public house window the ghost of a lad in whose death be be­ lieves he bore a hand,"--New York :r.\ ' ' Qmeasand Dreams. , When you were a boy of girl, did yon ever have dreams that you thought to have a meaning ? There is something strangely fascinating to a very young person in anything supernatural, and we often create proofs, if our schemes be worthy of such a fifiirie, of the cer­ tainty of securing what we much de­ sire. I remember when I was a boy, »I fell desperately in love with a little school­ mate, now dead. It was the first attack, and of course, was a very virulent one. My whole soul existed but for her; my body was her slave. The one great question was: Will she be mine? and often I went oat to some secluded spot among the trees, and kneeling down, would pray that she might be preserved from all danger, and that one day she might be my wife. I had faith enough, but the prayer was never answered. After I had held these devotional com­ munions with nature, I would often de­ termine whether my prayer would be heard and answered by the most com­ monplace occurrences. One day I re­ member, as I came from one of these seasons of supplication, I saw a man hunting birds. The predominant ques­ tion in my mind was: Will she be mine? The man seemed to be on the point cf shooting. There was a stone ten feet in front of me, and I thought: "Now, if I can but reach that stone before he shoots, I will know it is all right. I succeeded and watched him for some time, and as he still did not shoot, I fixed upon a tree a hundred yards away, and said to myself: "Now if I can reaoh that tree before he fires, Rosalie will surely be my wife one day, and as I succeeded, I felt pret­ ty well, but still the rnaa did not shoot. I made up my mind to run to the barn, some distance further, and knfw if I could but get there before he fired, that xfrould settle it. I did my best to ac­ complish that, but alas! the hunter fired when I was but half way, and so I knew that the now sainted Rosalie could never be my wife. On other oc­ casions, I would see a flash of lightning and &t once begin counting as hard as I could, believing if I could count ten, twenty-five, or fifty before hearing the thunder, my cherished hopes would be fulfilled. On other occasions, when carrying a very large load Of, stove- wood, I would make up my mind that I would be worth a million dollars when a man if I could preveifb all of it from falling off. The more unlikely of at­ tainment the feat appeared, the more strong my convictions in case of its ac­ complishment. Of dreams, too, I had a wholesome regard. One time I dreamed that I was married to a cousin. The dream made a grefct impre&sibn on me, and I fqlt certain she would die. I have been ou the watch a great many years, but the is still well and hearty. I have dreamed of having my head chopped off, and set on my shoulders the wrong way, and in my w king hours, I came to the conclu­ sion that it being a bad dream, boded me riches, fame and power. It did not, however, so far as developments aye concerned, up to the present writing. Everybody has had experiences more or less like mfee, and no one of all of them has ever told them to" others, They aqfe sacred, if our own, but I have broken down the barriers of modesty, and given mine to the world, in order that readers may know that they are not alone the possessore of treasures. like these. . • h . Spirited Indian tHrl. i The Indian school at Carlisle, Penn­ sylvania, under the charge of Capt. Pratt, is working hard to answer the question, What sliall we do with our wild wards? Its pupils, selected from the savages of the plains, are given a common school education and taught a trade or housewifery. An important part of their educution is derived from association with Christian white men and women. How thoroughly this has revolutionized some of them may be seen from the following anecdote: * There is a very bright and iutereft- ing Indian girl, named Lizzie Spider, the last being her father's name, which she assumed, a custom the girls nearly all follow. A few years ago, she was at fho In­ dian school at Carlisle, a pupil, where she acquired considerable knowledge. When she went back, during the summer vacation, her father sold her to a young Indian brave for a number of ponies, which is the accustomed form of marriage among the Sioux. She had just received enough educa­ tion to revolt against the savage life that was to be thrust upon her, so she x*an away and lived for many months hidden in the woods, going by stealth occasionally to the l&ut of friends to get supplies of food. During his last visit to Yankton, Capt. Pratt heard of her, and after a search found her and brought her back with him and pnt her in the Lincoln School, where she now is. She says she doesn't want to be sold for ponies, and cook and work for a savage lazy- boots.--Philadelphia Times. I havi a morbid love for truth. It is wrong, I know.
