A GHOST
PILOT
Br WILLIAM CHANDLER
Tom Singleton, to use n homely ex
pression. was a boating Inebriate. He
apeut all his vacations on Casco bay,
on the Mt.lne const There Is some
thing more In that bay than handling
a boat, ami that is handling what the
boat Is liable to bring np against The
waters are literally full of rocks.
Tom early fell In with a fisherman
named Wilt Ins—Captain Wilkins he
was called, as nil men who sail their
own boats In that region are—who
took a fancy to the youngster because
they both loved the water. Wilkins
usually went out after dark, set his
nets and returned about sunrise the
next moruing. Tom waa so In love
with the water th;it he would go out
with the captain one or two nights lu
the week. That's what made the cap
tain love Tout. Both were awed by
the solernu graudeur of the starry dome
above theiu. Both loved the mystical
mooullght—so Tom mimed it—and
when they got caught In a rising wind
and all was black about and above
tbem. If there was not a pleasure In it,
there was a pleasure In getting ashore
and iu the memory of it.
Itut there was one weather condition
that upiNllled Tom. ami it was this
that cunsed him to confine his excur
I slons alone to short sails in fair weath
er—be dreaded a fog.
And why shouldn't lie? Often when
the sun shone brightly on a partly sul>
uierged rock and tlie foam of a gigan
tic wave breaking over it he would
exclaim, ".lust think of running on to
that of a dark nlgbt or In a fog!" And
the captain would say. "I've been sail
ing In this bay for thirty years in dark
nights, in foggy nights. In all kinds
of nights, and I never struck one of
'em yet."
"How do yon do It?"
"I dunno. IJeckon I do it as yon git
out of bed In the middle of the night
and go downstairs for n drink of wa
ter or something, without a light"
One day when the two were sailing
together Tom said that so lone as he
lived he would spend bis vacations on
Casco bay and If he grew rich he
would spend the whole of eaeh season
there.
"I won't be with you when you're
running your own yacht. Tommy." said
the captain, "but If you ever get In n
bad fix I'll help yon out."
"What! After you're dead?"
"No one dies We simply chanse
conditions; we don't need legs and
boats and such like."
When the mackerel became so scarce
that It didn't pay the captain to go
out nights he and Tom wonld eralse
about among the beautiful Islands of
I the bay. living aboard the Imat They
had butterfish for breakfast, cod or
lobster or clnms for dinner and mack
erel for supper. And as for sleeping
J when at anchor in n core, with the
wavelets soothing them to slumber
against the sides of the boat, they kept
awake only because It was so delight
j Well, the day came when Tom Sin
gleton was able to keep n small yacht
of his own and spend the greater part
of tin- immmer cruising in her. He
took her to Casco bay—he owned a
cottage on Bailey's Island— find enjoy
ed sailing to his heart's content.
But. though he knew a great deal
more alxnit navigating a t>oat than
when n youngster. he was not up to
(the rocky bottom of Casco bay. More
over. hedldu't have Captain Wllkins to
rely on. for tho captain's old hulk was
buried lu the cemetery on the highest
part of Orr's island, where one can see
tbe ocean Id many different parts. So
Si:'g>ton was obliged to sail hia own
bo:-.: confining himself to fair weather.
Rut If the yachtsman could tell about
wliit the weather would be he couldn't

I' i liaui beach. They had made the
«• • .ige outward and were returning

pass -i -.-ring on the coast of Maine?
Tin- In- was heavy and promised to
be «f long duration.
Tom heard a swish of waters to port
lie- knew the sound and steered just
in time to avoid one of the big sub
merged rocks of that part of the bay.
The party passed a couple of hours in
terror; then it began to grow dark.
The women and children were most
ly in the cabin or on the forward deck.
Tom had the tiller. He began to feel
a resistance when he turned it, and.
this continuing, he yielded to the force.
He heard writers surging to port and
starboard, but seemed to pass, by some
unseen seaman-'Wp. between or around
all dangers, lie let g« the tiller, and
It moved not by, the waves, but appar

What was Tom's astonishment at

When he got out into the sound the fog
suddenly vanished and he was enabled
to steer for the do i;
No one can convince Tom Singleton
that a spirit band nas not on the tiller
during that perilous voyage. And he
remembors Captain Wilkius' words:

An Aristocratic
Thief
By F. A. MITCHELL
My husbaml had been appointed
United States military attache at Ber
lin end bad gone there some time be
fore nie 111 order to secure a place to
live against my coming. 1 .vas on my
way there from Paris, traveling on a
tirst class railway coach. Beside :ne j
sat a man, and before him sat anoth-;
, er man, the two beiug evidently travel
| tug companions, for they were talk
' ltig very earnestly In German, n Inn
' gunge I did not understand. Directly
I before me was a vacant seat, on which
1 tossed my band bag. This was very
cureless of me. for it contained all the
money 1 had with me.
I had been up late nights in I'arls
and was very tired and sleepy. 1 fell j
into a doze auil from a doze Into a
sound sleep. .More th;iu au hour pass
ed before I awoke, and when I did I
found that the man who bud been seat
ed beside me was the only other per
son except myself in the compartment
He had changed his seat to one oppo
site me next the window and was
reading a iieriouical. Near him lay [
my Iiug. just where I had placed it.
I opened it and looked for my pocket
( book.
j Xow. I leave it to any woman if she
on awakening from a similiter to find
she had been robbed of money from a
bag lying beside a man would not look
up at him accusingly. The man's eyes
J were upon me, ami my looks told him
! that I suspected him nf stealing the
i money 1 had lost just as plainly as it
I could have beeu expressed In words.
He looked frightened and said some
' thing to me in German, but he might
' as well have spokeu In S-iuskrlt. Then
! he tried me in French. I can speak
' a little French, but < u understand it
i scarcely at all. At rate. 1 dldnt
I catch what he had to say.
The man looked so cut up that 1 j
grew s us pi* ions of him. Hut why he
i had m>t left the train with it while I
i was asleep I could only conjecture.
1'ei haps the train had not made a stop.
Ue was not a cool thief by any means.
; for without my taking any action I
j whatever he took out a roll of crisp
I bills and said to uie In French:
j "CombicnV" ("How much?") which
' 1 understood was asking me the
amount I had been robbed of. 1 held
j up one finger and si id. "Mille francs,"
i moaning that 1 had had 1.000 francs
in my pockctbook. My money had
i been brand new, like the notes he held
in bis haiul. and 1 did not doubt they
were mine. I gathered that be pre
ferred to return my money rather than
Inn.- me call a guard at the next sta
tu n and lyi ve him arrested. He count
i ed the roll in his band, and it amount- ^
, ed to exactly 1.000 francs. Then he ]
handed it to nie. saving something In
j French which 1 did not understand.
1 was very glad to get my money
back at all and especially so easily.
I When we reached the next station the
i thief looked at me anxiously and on
I seeing that I made no move to call any
I one to arrest him drew a long sigh of
relief. This was the only stop we
| made till we reached Berlin, and when
i we rolled into the station and the j
' coach door was opened by the guard
I the rascal Jumped out and disappeared j
: ill a great hurry.
! My husband had secured a house In
the capital, had engaged servants and
| had everything ready not only for our
' comfort, but to enable us to entertain
1 guests, of course every one of the
i diplomatic corps must do more or less
! entertaining, and since I brought my
[ husband a fortune and we were abun
I dantly aide to bear the expense w
' proposed to do our full share; but. of I
' course, 1 must go through the prelim
! inarles of being Introduced at court.
; All this hart been attended to. anu
| I was a full fledged member of Berlin
I society. The first important function
I I attended was a state hall at the paJ
j ace. I was standing Miking to n lady
I whose husi)and was n member of the
diplomatic torps when I saw the eu>
jieror coming with a g.intleman who
was bedizened with decorations, the
emperor laughing at something the lat
ter was telling him. When they came
near enough for me to distinguish their
features the marrow froze in my bones.
The man to whom the emperor was!;
listening was the thief who hud stolen,
then returned, my money. I shrank 1
away, but not in time, lie saw me, !
and the expression on his f ice denoted I
as mucb surprise as mine did conster- j
nation. Then he said something to the ,
emperor, who looked at me with an ex
pression ot amused surprise.
Calling to a lady standing near me.
the emperor and the thief talked to
her. and it was evident that they were
talking about me. Then the three
approached me. and the lady, after
making the required presentation, told
me that the thief was Count Ilein- 1
rich Schmieden, one of the emperor's ■
most intimate friends. He had been 3
telling his majesty of how a lady on a <
train had been robbed and how he ]
rather than submit to arrest had j
paid over the amount stolen. J'usi as
he had finished the story he espied tae.
The matter was considered an fid
mirabie Joke by the emperor aud. in- :
deed, by the connt, who claimed that !
he had paid me the money not so
mui'h through fear of my having him j
arrested as the inconvenience I would
be put to at not having any money for
expenses. 1 doubted his gallantry, but '
gave him credit for it. The next morn
ing my husband sent him a check for £
1,000 francs.
The affair resulted In our receiving
considerable attention from one of the
most influential men in Rerlin.
