nearly level with the sea line. Ned, in the port 
watch, had only been on deck about ten minutes, 
when he realized that a grand opportunity for a 
quick run to the eastward was being lost. A 
favorable, but mild, southeasterly breeze was 
fanning them along about four miles an hour. 
He stretched the kinks out of his legs and then 
remarked, “What’s the matter with setting the 
topsail and balloon jib?” 
“Nothing!” from the editor at the tiller. 
So the balloon jib was gotten up from below, 
snapped on to the stay sheet, passed aft to 
leeward and belayed, halliard hooked on, and 
the sail hoisted. Ned smiled with .satisfaction 
as he stopped a moment to look at the pulling 
expanse of cloth before he hoisted the topsail. 
Hand over hand that little sail was mastheaded, 
and before it could flap more than twice, the 
sheet was hauled out taut and belayed. But 
those two flaps brought the Commodore’s bald 
pate into the companionway, and that much ex- 
cited individual, dressed only in pajamas, looked 
aloft, then leaned out to look forward. 
“What! what you doing?” he snapped. Set- 
ting balloon jib and topsaid, too?” 
“Yea,” remarked Ned. “Why not?” 
“Why, don’t you know it’s night? You 
shouldn’t carry on sail at night.” 
“Why, is there any law against it?” 
“Law! common sense alone ought to tell you 
not to set sail at night.” 
“Well, then, I’m glad I ain’t got no common 
sense. You go on below. We'll sail her this 
watch and you can double reef ‘her when your 
watch comes round if you want to. We’re 
going to let the old girl walk while the wind is 
lebbey 
“Huh!” in a disgusted tone, “you want to carry 
her sticks out. How you going to see a squall 
if one comes up suddenly?” and the Commodore 
started to climb out into the cockpit, but real- 
izing by the chill that more than pajamas were 
needed in a night watch, he stepped back and 
continued, “Well, I'll hold you two responsible 
for any damage.” 
“All right; that suits us to a tee—don’t it, 
Editor?” and Ned appealed to the helmsman. 
“We'll see no harm is done, Commodore. 
You go turn in.” Which he did with muttered 
condemnations on people in general who were 
fools enough to carry on sail at night and ‘two 
not far away in particular. The extra speed the 
yacht showed by the broader band of yellow, 
winking, phosphorescence in the water, and an 
hour or two later, when a great black, shadowy 
schooner, whose red light reflected across the 
strip of intervening water, was passed and gradu-| 
ally faded into gloom astern was satisfaction 
enough for the men on watch in spite of the 
great risk the Commodore thought they were 
running. It was a beautiful night for sailing, yet 
when four hours had passed the two had smoked 
and talked to a finish and were sleepy enough | 
to surrender the deck to the other watch and | 
turn in. Just as Ned was dozing off he heard 
the rattle of jib hanks and footsteps over his) 
head, but fell asleep to let the little Commodore | 
shorten sail all he wanted to. 
C. Gp Davis: 
SNIPE WITH ONE WING. | 
My wife and I were ‘walking over the moor | 
on our way to fish, and my spaniel was with me. | 
He winded something and worked up to it, and} 
stood among some bog myrtle. I walked up to} 
him and saw a snipe squatting on the ground | 
just in front of him. I picked it up and then} 
noticed it had only one wing. On examining | 
we found no outward trace of the other, but | 
could feel the: lump where the end of the bone| 
was. The skin and feathers had grown com-}| 
pletely over the old stump. The bird was in ex-| 
cellent condition. I should say the wing had 
been cut clean off by a telegraph wire. It was} 
wonderful how well the injury, however caused, | 
had healed, and how the bird had managed to 
escape its many enemies. I could not tell its| 
sex; but there was evidently a nest near, as an- 
other snipe was bleating close to us. When I 
let it go it ran off without attempting to jump 
up and fly, as a winged snipe does.—London 
Field.
