JH& DAILY EXAM!

A PRISONER’S RUSE, TOO MUCH BEST MAN,

A BACHELOR WHO OFFICIATED AT

HOW ROC ESCAPED FROM THE SPAN- ISH PRISON BY A TRICK,

i

| & Clever Pirate Who Won Freedom For Eiimself and His Companions by Forging | a Letter and Playing on His Captor’s

Fears.

Mr. Frank R. Stockton, telling St. Nicholas readers about ‘The Buccaneers of Our Coast,’’ describes the clever es- cape of Roc, the Brazilian, a famous pirate, from captivity among the Span- ish at Campeachy. Mr. Stockton says:

When he was coming into the bay, Roc had noticed a large French vessel shat was lying at some distance from the town, and he wrote his letter as if it had come from the captain of this shop. In the character of this French captain he addressed his letter to the governor of the town, and in it he stated that he had understood that certain companions of the coast, for whom he bad great sympathy—for the French and the buccaneers were always good friends—hbad been captured by the gov- ernor, who, he heard, had threatened to execute them.

The French captain, by the hand of Roc, went on to say that if harm should come to these brave men, who had been taken and imprisoned when they were doing no harm to anybody, he would swear, in his mest solemn manner, that never for the rest of his life would he give -juarter to any Spaniard who might fall into his hands, and he moreover

threatened that any kind of vengeance |

which should become possible for the buccaneers and French anited to inflict upon the Spanish ships, or upon the town of soon as possible after he should hear of any injury that might be inflicted upon the wafortunate men who were then lying imprisoned in the fortress.

When the slave came back to Roe, the letter wes given to him with very particular directions as to what he was to de with it. He was to disguise him- self a# much as possible, so that he shoul’ not be recognized by the people of the place, and then in the night he was to make his way out of the town, and early in the morning was to return asif be had been walking alorg the shore «f the harbor, when he was to state that he had been put on shore from the French vessel in the offing with a letter which he was ordered to present to the governor.

The slave performed his part of the business very well. The next day, wet and bedraggled from making his way through the weeds and mud of the

coast, he presented himself at the for- |

tress with his letter, and when be was allowed to take it to the governor no one suspected that he was a person em- ployed about the place. Having fulfilled his mission, he departed, and when seen again he was the same servant whose business it was to carry food to the pris- oners.

The governor read the letter witha disquieteid mind. He knew that the French ship which was lying outside the harbor was a powerful vessel, and he did not like French ships anyway. The town bed once been taken and very badly treated by a little fleet of French and £ngilish buccaneers, and be was very anxious that nothing of the kind should bappen again.

There was no effective Spanish force in the harbor at that time, and be did not know how many buccaneering ves- sels might be able to gatber together in the bay if it should become kuown that the great pirate Roc had been put to death in Campeachy.

It was unusual for a prisoner to have powerful friends so’ near by, and the governor took Roc’s case into most ear- nest consideration. A few hours’ reflec- tion was sufficient to convince him that it would te very unsafe to take risks with such « dangerous prize as the pi- rate Roc, and he determined to get vid of him as svon as possible. He felt him- self in the position of a man who has stolen a baby bear and who hears through the woods the roar of an ap- proaching parent. To throw away the cub and walk off as though he had no idea there were any bears in that forest would be the inclination of a man so situated, and to get rid of a great pirate without provoking the vengeance of his friends was the natural inclination of the governor.

Now, Ree and his men were treated well and, having been brought before the governor, were told that in conse- quence of their having committed no overt act of disorder they would be set at liberty ancl shipped to Spain upon the single condition that they would abandon piracy and agree to become quiet citizens.

To these terms Roo and his men agreed without argument. They de- clared they would retire from the buc- ganeering business and that nothing would suit them better than to return to the ways of civilization and virtue. There was a ship about to depart for Spain, and on this the governor gave Roc and his men free passage to the other side of the ocean. There is no doubt that our buccaneers would have much preferred to have been put on board the French vessel, but Roc made, no suggestion of the kind, knowing how astonished the French captain would be if the governor were to communicate with him on the subject.

FORTY WEDDINGS.

Fee

Why Lieutenant Prince Has Such a Fine Collection of Scarfpins—Each One of Them Is the Key to sa Romance—A Warning to All Young Men.

Lieutenant Oscar Prince is rapidly

' peaching the age when his friends will

stop asking him the question, ‘‘Why don’t you get married?’ and substitute for it, ‘‘How did it happen, old man, that you never married?’ Lieutenant

| Prince is as acceptable as the average ‘man, and he has no antimatrimonial | views. He is, however, a victim of wed-

dings, and therein lies the explanation of his failure to marry. One of the fin- est collections of scarfpins in this city may be found in his bachelor apart- ments, but no wife.

‘**My collection of scarfpins was be- gun about ten years ago,’’ he said, ‘‘and each one represents a scar more or less serious. They have simply made a pin- cushion of my heart. My case, I am

' sure, is an nuusual one, and I am will-

ing to discuss it, that it may serve asa Warning to young men. Let me start with the assertion that I believe in the noble institution of marriage, and it was probably my advocacy of it while I was at West Point that suggested to a classmate—Brown—to write me to act as his best man when he got mar- ried. Let me see. The date on that pearl pin is 1387, isn’t it? Yes, that was Brown's little token. Brown had a fine wedding, and as I had been sta- tioned west at a God forsaken post since leaving the Point it was my first op- portunity to get at short range with girls. There are no girls like them, my boy, and don’t make any mis- take about that.

‘‘Brown was married in Newport, and we did have a good time. Let me look at that pin again. Yes, Ethel was ber name. You see, I have it tagged on the pin. Ethel wasa mighty fine girl —tall, good swing and a high stepper. We bit it off together in fine shape. Who was Ethel? Why, in this case, she was the maid of honor. We had a de- lightful week at Newport, and when I went back to my post I had Ethel’s per- mission to write to her. I heard the other day that her oldest hopeful was the star boy in a kindergarten.’’

Lieutenant Prince puffed his pipe hard for two minutes.

“Ethel was, about as nice asany of them. We might have been very happy together, but for Jones’ wedding. I think it was Jones. Just band me that little clover leaf pin, will you? Yes, it was Jones. Here is

the daté, 4888, and tagged to the pin is '

Maud’s name. You don’t understand. No, of course not. Yon haven't acted as best man or usher in 40 weddings. 1 thought a lot about Ethel while on the railroad traim that took me to Boston, where Jones married, and there I met Maud. There is something very demoral- izing about the associations of a wed- ding party if achap is at all suscepti- ble. The girls all rejoice with the bride, avd they are all in their best frocks. Somehow you begin to speculate about yourself, you know, and wonder hew you would appear as the bridegroom withbione of the bridesmaids as bride Maud was different from Ethel, more vivacious, and then she was short and Ethel was tall. On the night ef the wedding I asked Maud if I might write to ber. Dear Maud! I wonder what has become of her. I sent back all cf her letters and her pbotograph just a short time after Adams vot married. That is the pin in the cusbion—the one with the small diamond in the center. Adams was married three months after Jones, und I wes anusher. Those three montios were happy ones, and I shali always re- member Maud. I had been sent east just before Adams was married. and he

“Sanled we tv De UsMer VECBUsE, aS 26 put it, 2 bad been 1n the game before. izry was her name at Adams’ wedding. ihat doesn’é describe her at all. No name could. She was just as attractive as Ethel and Mand, but different. We discussed very serious matters, did Mary and I, and I[ knew that she wasa girl who would make a sensible, think- ing man happy for life.

‘*It was a discussion of telepathy that made me forget Mand, that is a discus- sion and a subsequent attempt to experi- ment. Mary didn’t ask for ber letters back after Rogers’ wedding. I told Sal- ly—sho wag one of the bridesmaids, and a very joliy southern girl—all about Mary, and she said she didn’t mind. I came very near proposing to Sally, but by this time I had become a professional

; a8 an usher and best man,and since Sal-

ly there have been by actual count 33 other girls, any one of whom might have made me happy. I felt after meet- ing each one of them that if I could only keep away from weddings my hap- piness might be assured. I could marry the last girl—that is, of course, if she would bave me, and they were all very sympathetic—and feel that Il was lucky. I couldn’t dodge the weddings, though.

**A)l my friends are married now, and I have assisted in each caso. It got so that while I was at work I would unconsciously begin to whistle a wed: ding march. Walking in time to it made me slow cn parade. I couldn’t keep up with my company. I have, I am glad to say, dons my duty by my friends, but it has ruined me sentimentally. When I look at that collection of scarfpins, each one labeled with the name of a girl who was the only one in the world for me, I haven't the nerve to propose. I am a victim of circumstances. Now all of my friends are married and I am not likely to march again to that familiar old mesic. I have the finest collection of scarfpins in this city, but I am stilla bachelor. Let my examples be a warn- ing to all young men.’’—New York Sun.

Tue QuEEN’s, Toronto, Feby. 22nd, 1897

To Wuom iT MAY CONCERN:

In connection with my visit to Canadaas Pianist to Madame Albani, I have had occasion to cbserve various makes of pianos, and have been much impressed with the advances which are being made in the art of piano construc- tion in this young and fluurishing country, One of the most recent instruments to arrest my attention—and I might say one of the best—is the well known “Bell” Piano. Its tone is admirable throughout, and the touch firm and responsive— just what we musicians like—in fact, an excellent piano in every respect. The new Orchestral Attachment (which I understand can be obtained on ‘Bell’ pianos only) is also an excellent feature, and one which will doubtless excite inter. est with all classes. I do not hesitate to say that I consider the “Bell” piano a good, honest instrument, and so recom. mend it to any intending purchaser.
