DID NOT INVENT TELESCOPE
But Galileo Was the Flrat to Peroeiva
Ita Possibilities in the Study of
Aatronomy.
The name of the man who first
framed ajd used a telescope for the
observation of the heavenly bodies Is
Galileo Galilei, "though little known In
that form. It was this scientist, w*o
died January 8, 1642, who. It may be
said, first gave stability and force to
the theory which places the sun In the
center of the planetary system. In
April or May. 1009, Galileo heard at
Venice of a little tubular Instrument
made by Hans Llbbershey of Mlddle
burg. which made distant objects ap
pear nearer, and he Immediately ap
plied himself to experimentation on the
means by which such an Instrument
could be produced. Procuring a couple
of spectacle glasses, each plain on one
side, but one convex and the second
concave on the other side, and apply
ing his eye to the concave glass, he
found that objects were magnified
three times, and brought apparently
nearer. Soon after having made one
which could magnify 930 times, Gali
leo commenced observations on the sur
face of the moon, which he discovered
to be Irregular, like that of the earth,
and on Jupiter, which, In 1610. he as
certained to be attended' by four
stars, as he called them, which after
ward proved to be Its satellites. I
CRUSADERS WON AND LOST;
In the End Nothing Was Gained by
Attempted Conquest of the
Holy Land.
Purine the four centuries from the
Moslem conquest of Palestine until i
the crusades Christian, Jew and Mos
lem lived together in peace. Then
along came Peter the Hermit and the
Crusaders. The second coming of
Christ had been forecast for the year
1000. The passing of that year with
out any catastrophe awakened an era
of Christian piety that held the world
safe through the year 1033, the anni
versary of the crucifixion.
Peter the Hermit prevailed upon
Pope Urban II to sanction the first
crusade, it proved a successful ven
ture. for Jerusalem was captured July
14, 1099, and Godfrey of Bouillon
elected king of Jerusalem.
Saladln became master of Egypt
and Syria toward the end of the
twelfth century, after defeating the
Crusaders at the battle of Hattln In
11S7, capturing the most treasured of,
relics, a piece of the true Cross. This
provoked the third crusade, led by
Richard Coeur de Lion and commemo
rated In Scott's nove^ "The Talis
man." The Crusaders captured Con
stantinople for the Venetians, but
failed of the entire conquest of Pales
tine.
Mark Twain's Toast to "Babies."
Responding to the toast of "Babies"
at the memorial Chicago banquet in j
honor of General Grant in 1879, Mark
Twain concluded with a sentence that
set the gathering In an uproar. In his
Inimitable drawling voice he said:
"In his cradle, somewhere un-3er the
flag, the future Illustrious commander
in-chief of the American armies is so
tittle burdened with his approaching
grandeurs and responsibilities as to
giving his whole strategic mind, at
thfs moment, to trying to find some
way to get his own big toe Into his
mouth. aS achievement which (mean
ing no disrefsect) the Illustrious guest
of this evening also turned his atten
tion to some ftf»y-slx year- ago. And
If the child is but the tether of the
man there are mighty few who will
doubt t^at he succeeded
At that conclusion the audience
broke irs'o cheers and ro*'« of laugh
ter In which even the reserved Grant
joined.

"What mean you by saying mat/
There was one on board! Don't He to
me! In an hour 1 urn dead—but first
tell rae the truth. Does the woman
live?"
"No, she died before. We found her
body in a chest, preserved by some
devilish Indian art, richly dressed and
decked with jewels."
"English?"
"I judged her so, but with dark hair
and eyes. You knew her?"
"In the name of all the fiends, yes.
And I know her end. He killed her—
Paradilla killed her—because she was
as false to him as she had been to me.
Hell! but it is strange you should be
the one to find her—to bring me this
tale. Geoffry Carlyle!"
"Why? What is It to me?"
"You go back to England and tell the
duke of Bueclough how his precious
sister died."
"His sister! Good God, you cannot
mean that woman was Lady Sara Car
lyle?"
"Who should know better than I?"
sneeringiy. "Once 1 was called in Eng
land Sir Johu Colliuswood."
He sank back exhausted, struggling
for breath, but with eyes glowing
hatred. 1 knew it all now, the dimly
remembered story coining vividly back
to memory. Here then was the ending
of the one black stain on the family
honor of our race. On this strange
coast, three thousand miles from its
beginning, the final curtain was being
rung down, the drama finished. The
story had come to me in whispers from
others, never even spoken about by
those of our race—a wild, headstrong
girl, a secret marriage a duel iu the
park, her brother despc . tely wounded,
and then the disappearance of the
pair. Ten days later it was known
that Sir John Collinswood had de
faulted in a large sum—but from that
hour England knew him no more. As
though the sea had swallowed them
both, man and woman disappeared,
leaving no trace behind.
The face i gazed dumbly into wa9
drawn and white with pain, yet the
thin lips grinned back at me in savage
derision.
"You remember, I see," he snarled.
"Then out cf here. Geoffry Curlyle.
Leave me to die in peace. The gold is
there; take it, and my curse upon It.
Hurry now—do you hear the bark
grate on the rocks; It's near the end."
CHAPTER XXXIII.
Before the Governor.
The sound startled me; I imagined
I heard the keel slipping, yet before we
had reached the door opening on deck
the slight movement ceased. My hand
gripped the frightened Haines.
"Tell them in the boat to do as 1
said; then come back here."
"My God, sir, she's a goin' down."
"Not for some minutes yet. There
are thousands of pounds In that chest;
you've risked life for less many a
time. Jump, my man !"
The boat lay in close, bobbing up
and down dangerously, yet held (irmly
beneath the opened port. The box
was heavy enough to tax the strength
of two men to handle it, but of a size
and shape permitting its passage.
Sanchez had raised himself J^aln. and
clung there to the edge of the bunk
watching us.
"Now let down easy, lads," I called

[ out to you f
I stepped across to 8anchez. He saw
me coming, and drew back, his ghastly
face like a mask.
"No you don't, Carlyle!" he snapped
angrily. "Keep your hands off me.
So you want me to die with my neck
In a noose, do you? I was born a gen
tleman, and, by Qod! I'll die like one—
and go down .with my ship. Oet oat. of
here now! You won't? You will, or
else die here with me! I'll Rive you a
| minute to make your choice."
He left no doubt as to his meaning.
From beneath the blanket, the black
muzzie of a pistol looked straight Into
my eyes. The hand holding it was
firm, the face fronting me savagely
sardonic.
"I'd like to kill you, Carlyle," he
1 hissed hatefully. "By God, I don't
i know why I shouldn't. Every time I
J look at you I see her face. If you take
a step nearer I pull the trigger—go!"
[ It was a hard pull back to the Santa
Marie. Dorothy greeted me first, and
we stood close together at the rail as
the men hoisted the chest on deck.
She said nothing, asked nothing, but
her hands clung to my arm, and when
ever I turned toward her our eyes met.
There was a sudden cry forward,
and a voice shouted:
"There she goes, buckles! That's
the last o' the Namur!"
I turned swiftly, my hand grasping
her fingers as they clung to the rail.
The battered hulk slid downward, the
deck breaking amidships as the stern
splashed into the depths; then that
also toppled over, leaving nothing
above water except the Dlunt end of a
broken bowsprit, and a tangle of
wreckage tossed about on the crest
of the waves. I watched breathlessly,
unable to utter a sound; I could only
think of that stricken man in the cabin,
those wild eyes which had threatened
uie. He was gone now—gone!
I yet held Dorothy's hand tightly I
clasped in my own, and the depths of
her uplifted eyes questioned me.
"We will go aft, dear, and I will tell
you the whole story," I said gently,
"for now we are homeward bound." J
I write these few closing lines c year
later In the cabin of the Ocean Spray,
a tnree master, full to the hatches
with a cargo of tobacco, bound for'
London, and a market. Dorothy is on|
J deck, eagerly watching for the Unit
glimpse of the chalk cliffs of old
England. I must Join her presently,i
yet linger below to add these final sen-|
tences.
There Is, after ail. little which needs
to be said. The voyage of the Santai
Marie north proved uneventful, and,
after that first night of storm, the
weather held pleasant and the sea;1
fairly smooth. I had some trouble withi
the men, but nothing serious, as Wat
kins and Haines held as I did, and the
pledge of Dorothy's influence brought
courage. I refused to open the chest,'
believing our safety, and chance of
pardon, would depend largely on our,
handing this over In good faith to the
authorities. Watkins and I guarded
it night and day until the schooner
rounded the cape and came Into the
Chesapeake. No attempt was made
to find quarters below, the entire crew
sleeping on deck, Dorothy comfortable
on the flag locker.
It was scarcely sunrise, on the fifth
day, when we dropped anchor against
the current of the James, our sails'
furled and the red English colors fly
ing from the peak. Two hours later
the entire company were In the pres
ence of the governor, where I told my
story, gravely listened to, supplement
ed by th« earnest plea of the young
woman. I shall never forget that;
scene, or how breathlessly we awaited
the decision of the great man, who so
closely watched our faces. They were
surely a strange, rough group as they
stood thus, hajs In hand, waiting to
learn their rate, shaggy-haired; un
I shaven, largely scum of the sea, never1
I before In such presence, shuffling un
I easily before his glance, feeling to the
! full the peril of their position. Their
eyes turned to ine questloningly.
Opposite us, behind a long table, sat
the governor, dignified, austere, his
hair powdered and face smoothly
shaven; while on either side of him
were those of his council, many of the
faces stern and unforgiving. But for
their gracious reception of Dorothy
and their careful attention to her
words I should have lost heart. They
questioned me shrewdly, although the
governor spoke but seldom, and then
In a kindly tone of sympathy and un
derstanding. One by one the men
were called forward, each in turn com
pelled to tell briefly the story of his
life; and when all was done the eyes
of the governor sought those of the
council.
"You have all alike heard the tale,I
gentlemen," he said. "Nothing like it
hath ever before been brought before
this colony. Would you leave decision
to me?" ;
There was a murmur of assent, as
though they Were thus gladly relieved
of responsibility In so serious a mat
ter. The governor smiled, his kindly
eyes surveying us once more; then,
with extended hand he bade Dorothy
be seated. i
"The Btory Is seemingly an honest
one," he said slowly, "and these sea
men have done a great service to the
colony. They deserve reward rather
than punishment The fair lady who
pleads for them Is known to us all,
and to even question her word is im
possible. Unfortunately I have not
the power of pardon in cases of piracy,
nor authority to free bond slaves, with-;
out the approval of the home govern
ment; yet will exercise In this case1
whatsoever of power I possess. For
gallant services rendered to the col-,
ony, and unselfish devotion to Mistress
Dorothy Fairfax, I release Geoffry
Oarlyle from servitude pending ad
vices from England; I also grant pa
role to these seamen, on condition
they remain within our Jurisdiction!
until thla Judgment can be confirmed
and full pardons Issued. Is this Judg-;
ment satisfactory, gentlemen?"
The members of the council bowed;1
gravely, without speaking.
"The chest o{ treasure recovered^
from the sunken pirate ship," he wentj
on soberly, "will remain unopened un
til final decision is made. As I under
stand, Master Carlyle, no one among
you has yet seen Its contents, or esti
mated its value?"
"No, your excellency. Beyond doubt
It contains the gold stolen from Roger
Fairfax; and possibly the result of
other robberies at sea.
"The law of England is that a certain
percentage of such recovered treasure
belongs to the crown, the remainder,
its true -ownership undetermined, to be
fairly divided among those recovering
it.'
"Yet," spoke up Dorothy quickly, "it
must surely be possible to waive all
claim in such cases?"
"Certainly; as private property it
can be disposed of in any way desired.
Was that your thought?"
"A Fairfax always pays his debt,"
she said proudly, "and this is mine."
There, was a moment's silence as
though each one present hesitated to
speak. She had risen, and yet stood,
but with eyes lowered to the floor.
Then they were lifted and met mine
in all frank honesty.
"There Is another debt I owe," she
said clearly, "and would pay, your ex
cellency."
"What Is that, fair irJstress?"
She crossed to me, her hand upon
my arm.
"To become the wife of Geoffry Car
lyle."
