Tender-sweet with tear*!
Mockin' bird, up yonder, in the sgented

Thrlilin' all the night with song—hidden j
In the blooms;
Do the birds sing sweet as ever In the

Will you sing the old dreams to me—will
you tell me what they say?
Sweet song,
Sweet song,
Song of faded yeare,
In the night
You lead the light.
Tender-sweet with tears!
Mockin’ bird, up yonder, from the elngin

Sometimes I think your music comes from
a broken heart!
Have the llttie ones all left you, in the far, 1
strange fields to roam?
Do you dream o’ them forever—do you try
to sing them home?
Sweet song.
Sweet song.
Song of faded years.
In the night
You lead the light,
Tender-sweet with tears!

(Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story PuU Co.)
j T WAS a perfect day, one of those
I days which, like a dainty mosaic,
6t into the sailorman’s life amid many
blocks of somber hue. days where,
amid storm and cold, he has struggled
for the right to live.
There was not a cloud in the sky. A
steady nor-west wind made every sail
draw, and away over the starboard
quarter the smudge of Cape Henry waa
rapidly vanishing.
The foremast hands lay over the
bow watching the froth which the prog
ress of the vessel kicked up forward,
while the skipper and his two mates,
soothed by the beauty of the day into
unwonted calm, smoked on the poop.
There was the sharp clangor of a tin
pan striking a hard substance, there
came from the galley the guttural
shout that belongs only to the throat
of the negro, and the black cook of the
Petrel came out of his den, a triumph
ant smile on his thick lips, bearing
aloft the carcass of a huge rat.
“Pesky things, rats,” observed the
eklpper. marking the spot where the
rat fell with a plump into the sea.
“Pesky, wuss than that. I hate
'em,” said Mr Bennett, chief mate:
"but they saved my life once, for all
Ihelr peskiness.”
“Shipwrecked, and you caught the
tail of a rat in your teeth and was
towed ashore,” suggested the skipper,
itppantly.
The mate looked hurt.
“There's no use telling a yarn if
you’re smart enough to know it ’for*
tt's told,” eald he.
"Go on, Bennett,” 6ald the skipper
“I waa only joking.”
“The time when rats was a service i
fo me,” began Mr Bennett, "was w hen
1 was second mate on the old brig
Hannibal. She traded from Portland
to the Win’ard islands, and that cree
tur was as full o’ rats as a orange is
o’ juice. She used to carry a lot o’
lumber from Savannah to the West
Injye and the rats got in her there."
**lf you carry lumber look out for
; rata and cockroaches,” put in the skip
per.
"I never see the like o’ them rats on
the Hannibal,” continued the mate.
"The old man used to dump two oi
.three rats out o’ his boots every morn
in’ Just a* regular as he ate breakfast,
and when a sailor 'd turn in the whole
fo’eastle ’d sound with the squeaks o’
the rats he was a pressin’ on. Why,
the whole crew was a nuasin’ rat
bites.”
"Why didn’t you smokt ’em out?”
asked the skipper.
"We burned every -kind o’ pizen
that would burn In the oio hooker, and
while the smoke come close to killin’
the crew it didn’t harm the rats. There
was so many o’ them that you couldn't
mien what was killed. Why, whan
them rats got to runnin’ about the brig
the ellyments ’d have to be makir.’ a
big nize outside to make themselves
heard."
"Whew!” whistled the skipper.
"I am only tellin’ what ’s a fact,’*
said the mate, firmly. "Well, them
rats got so bad that the old man went
pretty nigh plumb crazy, and when the
brig gets to Portland one day he ups
and throws his job away.
“The owners puts a long hatchet
faced man from the Kennebec in com
mand, and he starts in to load the old
hooker with white pine lumber for
Demerary, and, Lord, ne did load her,
too. He crammed the hold cho •’ t
block, and then began pilin’ it u; i a
deck. Blest if it didn’t look as i: i
mejum-sized man ’d have to duck hii
head to walk under the tore yard arm
Now. you can laugh if you want to. I
don’t care a rope yarn, but It’s a fact
that when he was a pilin’ that lumber
up on deck the most uneasy creeturs I
ever see was them ra's. They’d run
about over the load and nil the time
a-squeakin’ most powerful.
“Finally we gets her loaded, stores
aboard, and the next day was fixed to
sail. Says I to myself, I’ll run up
town and get a dram or two, just to
say good-by to land, and I sneaked
over the rail and went up town. The
fust, man I sees when I went in the
saloon was the old man who used to
command the Hannibal.
“Hello, Henery,” he sings out,
"how’s the Hannibal?”
“Ready to sail, with a full cargo o’
lumber and rats,” says I, kind o’ jok
in.’ Then I ups and tells him about
howr she was loaded and how them
rats was a carryln’ on.
“The old man looked kind o’ duber
ous as he listened to me.
“ ‘Henery,’ sen he, solemn like,
‘them rats is a forerunner.’
“ ‘What do you mean?' sez I.
“ ‘What time o’ the year will you
come south o’ Bermudas?’ sez he.
“ ‘Considerin' the speed o’ that old
hooker, overloaded.' sez L. ‘about mid
dle July.’
" ’Right spank into the hurricane
season,’ sez he, ‘loaded plumb up to
the yard arms, brig 40 year old and
soft in her uppers. Henery, them rata
is a forerunner; watch em close.’
“Well, the old man he talked and
looked so solemn like that I began to
feel duberous myself, and after 1 had
taken a drink or so more I went down
to the wharf a thinkin* o’ what the
old man had said. It was a bright
moonlight night and when I gets to
the end o' the wharf I leans agin \
pile o’ sugar shooks and looks around.
I was admirin’ of the night when 1
hears a kerplunk. I didn't pay no at
tention until 1 hears it agin, and then
I looks at the old hooker. As I’m a
sinner if them rata wasn't a cornin’
off that craft in drove* Just as soon
aa they plumped on the wharf they
laid a course for a big warehouse up
the wharf and I watched ’em come
nntll I was giddy with jumpin’ rats.
There was one old gray feller who sot
on the rail until the last one was over,
and then he plumps down and follers
of ’em. Then I did some thinkin.' The
old man's words was a singin' in my
ears and the doin's o' them rats was
right afore my eyee.
“ Bennett,' sez I to myself, ‘you may
know a thing or two, but you don't
maybe know more than an old skipper
five times better sailor than you, and
>ou don't know more than 40,000 rats’
Then I goes aboard, quiet like,
picks up my dunnage and lays low up
tow till the Hannibal sailed.
"Nobody never heard tel! o’ the brig
aftf r that, and nobody never saw a
piet e o’ her wreckage.”
“I heard down In Portland, ona
time said the skipper, after a pause.
"of & second mate who got blind
creepln' drunk the day nfore his ves
sel sailed, and when they took him to
the hospital he talked o’ nothing but
rats.”
"Some people.” complained Mr Ben
nett, "never believes anything that a
man tells 'em."
“Oh, I helieve every word of your
yam.” retorted the skipper, “but did
you ever read in your Bible of Ana
nias'?” And without waiting for an an
iwer the captain went below.
"Mr. Boggs,” said Bennett, after the
captain had disappeared, “you are a
sortptoor reader. Who was Ananias’”
The second mate pondered a moment.
“Oh. he was a prophet. He was the
aid man, you know, who pot the bears
on the little boys who sauced him about
having no hair on his head ”
“I recoieks now.” said Mr Bennett.
