— THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. AFTER NASEBY. BY DAVID WECHSLER. Se (Copyright, 1895, by Irving Bacheller.)

More than eight hundred of our men were left dead upon the field, while the number of pris- oners exceeded the slain by five to one; the king himself had been forced to flee, whither [ knew not; and the remnants of his army (of whem I was one) were scat- tered ecross the covntry side.

Berd for book. ppataath Je6-th,o,tutt a low wooden stool, was seated a maiden of such exceeding beauty that, looking at her, I remembered no longer my hunger, but only the disorder of my attire. She was dressed in peasant’s costume, but the soft- ness of her skin, the whiteness of her hands, the grace of her b2aring, all told me it was Started Wearily to Mount the Ladder. no peasant that I had gazed upon. I made her a low bow, but I fear it did me but little credit, for what with the heat and turmoil of the day, the dust and stain of battle, my weariness and dejection, and the surprise at meeting so fair a creature in such an unlooked-for manner, I was but M-prepared to do justice to the manners of a-courtier. She returaed my salute with a perfect grace that put me to shame, but I fancied I saw a faint sign of amusement in her face—which, indeed, was not to be wondered at—and so I took out a pocket comb and small hand mirror which I car- ried with me, and going toward the candle which burnt upon a table in the center of the room, endeavored to remedy to some extent the defects in my appearance, so that I might present a more fitting spec- tacle for a lady’s eyes to gaze upon. The maiden watched me with 2 smile, “I perceive, si she said, “that you be- long to the court? I could not tell whether this was said in jest or earnest, but I was loth to consider it the former, and so answered: “Tt is true, madam, that I have the honor and privilege to attend upon his majesty. May I, mm turn, be pardoned for saying that I discern you are not such as it would seem you desire to appear?” She took what I said in good part, though shaking her fing2r playfully as she replled: a sirrah, I am a peasant, as you per- nis I did not believe, nor could Ibe wholly sure that she wished to be believed. “But come, mother,” the maiden continu- ed, turning to the old crone, who was still stooping over the fire, “your guest Is sure- ly famished, and that stew, I trow, is ready to do you credit.” Thus exhorted, the old woman placed the savory mess upon the table, accompanying the action with many apologies for the homeliness of the fare, which, in truth, Were unneeded, for I set to with a will and never found king's banquet more to my taste. Nevertheless, I was grieved to think that I should have to break my long fast before the eyes of so fair a maiden, for I could not but fear that she would regard my prodigious appetite as smacking of the most unseemly greed. When the meal was concluded I begged to be allowed to seek repose by the side of my horse in the out- house, but the off woman pointed to a ladder which stood in the corner of the room, communicating with a trap door in the roof above. “If ye go up thera, good gentleman,” sala she, “ye will find a loft where ye may rest. ‘Tis a poor place, as ye may weil believe, but fitter for a king's officer to lie within than an outhouse.” I thanked her, ana taking the rush light which she proffered, bowed once again to the maiden and started wearily to mount the ladder. In the loft above I found a straw pallet, upon which I threw myself down without removing so much as my sword, and was soon overcome with slum- ber. I was awakened, after what seemed but a few minutes, by the sound of men’s I Stood Pell-Mell in the Midst of Them voices in the rooms below, and filled with apprehension, I crept quictly to the trap door and partly raised the lid. I was hugely taken aback by what I saw, though the sight was but a natural one in the sad case in which the king’s own loyal men at that time found themselves. A burly, red- faced sergeant and two troopers, all dress- ed in the rebel uniform, had entered the house and were engaged in lively conversa- tion with the old woman who had shown me kindness. “TI tell ye,” she was saying, “‘there’s none that ye seek in here.” “This gives you the lie, old woman,” said the sergeant, and with a sneer he dug his sword into a cloak which I, with a sad lack of forethought, had left to lie upon a Bench and held it on the point. “This is no ral- ment of a servant of the Lord.” With a cry of despair the old dame shrank back and covered her wiz- ened face with her hands. The sergeant took a step in the direction of the ladder, but the young maiden, who until that mo- ment bad remained seated, rose majestic- ally and barred his way. “Stay!” she cried. “You have no right to enter or to search this dwelling, poor though it be, except this old dame bid you. Wherefore, then, do ye come? You have conquered in the combat, you have killed and captured many thousands of the king’s brave men—why seek ye more?” The sergeant gazed upon the indignant girl with tne most unmistakable admira- tion glowitg on his fleshy face. “By my faith,” he sald, with a smirk, “ a comely damsel! and such a one, it seems, as the Lord reserves for his own elect!” And with that he would have touched her face. But the blood rushed hot to my cheek at the thought of the indignity, and drawing my sword I made short work of the lad- der and appeared pell-melf in the midst ct them. * (Continued in Monday’s Star.) Caneda and the Union. From the Chautauqua Assembly Herald. Dr. Potts says that there's nobody in Canada who talks of annexation to the United States. “At least,” sald he,~‘no m.an who cared for political preferment would mention such a thing in public. Be- fcre the panic there were some who thought annexation would be desirable, but they don’t speak of it now.” Can it be that Miss Canada would have married Uncle Sam for his money? “Blessed,’’ indeed, “are the uses of adversity.” What if the Panic had come too late? oo The Obedient Maiden.

SEPTEMBER STORMS Investigation of Their Tracks for Ten Years. AN INTERESTING STUDY Where They Originate and Where They Disappear. MECHANISM OF HURRICANES Prepared by the U. S. Weather Bureau. One of the chief interests, aside from the values they have in respect’ to fore- casting, in the study of charts of storm tracks, consists in comparing them month with month, in order to observe the changes that take place with the progress of the seasons. It was shown on the Au- gust map that the summer storms, in the majority of cases, originate in three places, in Alberta, Colorado, and the West Indies. On the other hand, in September the chart indicates that they arise in at least six places. We have one set of storms gener- ating in Alberta, at which thirty-eight were observed in ten years; there were eleven noted that entered the North Pacific coast of the United States; next five were ob- served to commence their activity on the northern plateau of the Rocky mountain district; also seven developed over the isolated plateau of Colorado; five appeared on the west coast of the Gulf of Mexico; finally seven tropical hurricanes came in from the West Indies. Their Jumping Of Pince. These all pursued their paths to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in the neighbor- hood of which they left the field of ob- servation. The Alberta storms run along the northern boundary of the United States in the northwest, cross the lake region, and advance down the St. Law- rence valley, reaching the gulf in about three days. It will be observed that these tracks have a strong tendency to loop down near the beginning of their paths over the Rocky mountain slope into North and South Dakota, whence they recover the main track in the neighborhood of Lake Superior. The North Pacific storihs, those from Wyoming and Idaho, as well as the Colorado storms, in twenty-four hours find themselves on the main track in the lake region, whence they go to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. These four groups belong very clearly to one family, and have their rise on the northward side of the great high pressure belt that extends around the globe in about latitude 30 de- grees, 35 degrees, except where it is de- flected by the continents. In the United States this belt leaves the Atlantic coast near South Carolina, but it enters this country in northern California or Oregon, nearly 10 degrees further north. The de- flection thus observed is no doubt largely due to the elevations of the Rocky moun- tain districts. From the South. On the southern side of the high belt we find another system of storm generation, because the air of this belt must flow off on both sides, south as well as north, though the quantity returned to the south- ward is less than that to the northward. ‘Thus, we find the five west Gulf of Mexico storms, which usually advance to the Gulf of St. Lawrence over the Atlantic state: alsc we have the West Indian storms,whic are developed further east, in the calm zone of the doldrums, move westward awhile in the westerly tropical current, re- curve on the western edge of the great At- Iantic anti-cyclene, hugging the periphery of the same, and also skirt the Atlantic ccast, unless by the obstruction of a high they enter the gulf states before they re- curve. The erratic movements of the west gulf and the east gulf storms consists in their effort to break through the high pres- sure belt. It is during this passage, when they are most vigorously fed, that they at- tain the destructive violence so often noted in the southern states. The Hurricane Season. September {fs the middle of the hurricane season for the West Indies. In the China seas the season covers the same months— August, September and October; in the Bay of Bengal there are, however, two seasons —April to June and October, November; in the Arabian sea there are the same two seasons as in the Bay of Bengal; in the south Indian ocean the height of the sea- son is in January, February, March. These differences depend upon the relations of the land and water in the tropics, where these storms begin. ~ In the ten years examined the seven West Indian hurricanes recurved on the average in the longitude of the Florida peninsula. The destructive storm of September 1-7, 1888, did not recurve, but passed over Cuba westward to the Mexican coast. In 18%, September 21-30, the storm recurved, caus- irg serious devastation along the Atlantic coast. The primary cause for recurving or not is in the existence or non-existence of a high area over the eastern Atlantic States. The cyclone follows in behind the high, and if this moves off to sea, opening a trough behind it, the hurricane moves northward in the ordinary track. If the igh hangs persistentiy in the region, the cyclone Is deflected far to the west Lefore it can recurve, in which case it is likely to show very destructive qualities on the west coast of the Gulf of Mexico. If rain falis freely before the hurricane comes to land it is likely to die out; if the downpour be- gins after reaching land it is probable that a long, vigorous march is yet before it. The Mechanism of Hurricanes. There is much discussion in meteorologi- cal circles about the exact cause of the production of hurricanes in certain months only, and also regarding the mechanism of the whirling monsters, opinion not yet hav- ing settled upon any complete theory re- garding these points. Some of the facts may, however, be reviewed, and the most probable form of the movement of the winds deduced from them. At the time of the hurricane season, August to October, the large areas of calm, sultry and rainy atmosphere, called the doldrums, stretch from the west coast of Africa, near Sene- gambia, to the north coast of South Amer- ica, near Guiana, in their northernmost latitudes. At the same season of the year the great Atlantic high area, on account of the heating of the continents, seems to have contracted its boundaries, and to be confined to the ocean, leaving as it were channels near the land, and especially on the American side. After having once started, these hurricanes hang along the border of the great ocean high, skirt its southern edge, gradually turn north on the western side, or recurve, and still fol- lowing the outline of this high proceed off to the northeast, and enter the regular mid-latitude storm track. Now the signifi- cance of the calm belt of the doldrums and the adjacent high is that the air building up in the high as ft runs down, feeds any vortex or whirl that may have been started along its edge, and thus continues to supply it for the many days pte these violent storms are observed to Some students have claimed that the terdency of the warm, moist doldrum air to rise up is the first cause of producing these cyclones. But there is one very diffi- cult objection to overcome before this view can be established. Air will rise by con- vection only when the difference of tem- perature is considerable between the ris- ing column of air and the adjacent re- gions; yet in hurricanes this difference of temperature is not observed. ji How the Whirling Vortex Begins. Now, on examinning the maps for the isobars, it is almcst always seen that the lower isobar, marking out the edge of the great ocean high, has a loop or sort of pocket, by the bending down of the line, and in this the whirl begins. In the autumn, as the sun ts moving southward, the impulse of the air is to follow it, and it may well be that the smooth isobar lines stretch out fingers toward the equa- tor, into the doldrum calm, making a pock- et of lower pressure, and that herein the whirling vortex begins its course. Its future, dependent, as has been said, upon the performance of the high area in open- ing up a-passage near the American coast, is merely the sucking in of the air from the high area, practically regardless of temperature, the rain also being a szc- eadary phenomenon, The Approach of the Cyelone. As to the hurricane itself when once set In motion, we have more definite informa- ticn. The approach cf a hurricane is usu- ally Indicated by a long swell on the ocean, propagated to great distances and forewarning the observer by two or three days. A faint rise in the barometer ts in- dicated before the gradual fall that may become very pronounced at the cente! : wisps of cirrus clouds are first seen surround the center to the distance of 200 miles, the air is calm and sultry, but this is graduaily supplanted by a gentle breeze and later the wind in¢reases to a gale, the clouds become matte, the sea rough, rain falls and the windsraue gusty and danger ous as the vortex,gore comes on. Here the indescribable senyest. dealing destruc tion, impressing the imagination with’ its wild exhibition of the forces of nature, the flashes of lightnip&, the torrents of rain, the cooler air, all thé elements in an up- roar, which indicate the close approach of the center. In the midst of this turmoil there is a sudden patise, the winds almost cease, the sky clears, the air is cool, the waves, however, rage in great turbulence. This is the eye of’ the storm, the core of the yortex, and is, perhaps, twenty miles in diameter, one-forti¢th of the whole cy- clone. The respité is brief and is soon fol- lowed by the abrupt renewal of the violent wind end rain, but now coming from the opposite direction, ‘and the storm passes off with the several ‘feafures following each other ‘in the revetse order. 3 How the Vortex Discharges. By the laws of vortex motion the winds approach the center in spirals, the circular and the centrifugal movements Increasing every moment. At the core, in the walls of the columnar vortex, the air circles about the calm central part, gradually ris- ing upward to the cloud stratum, just above the inflowing disk. Here the air flows out suddenly on all sides, the circu- lar motion decreasing, cooling by expan- sion, causing a great thin sheet of rain, two or three hundred miles from the cen- ter. At this distance the vortex shect turns up suddenly, not down, as usually stated, and discharges the expended vor- tex matter into the high upper currents of the atmosphere. If one holds a saucer of ordinary shape up and looks at it from the under side, it will not give a very in- correct idea of the general shape of this thin vortex sheet as it turns up and dis- charges at the edges. Over the whole un- derside of it is the rain cloud, in the cen- ter the ring core and the calm part. The feeding wind’ lines are more nearly parallel to the grovnd than the upper dis¢ charge lines, but they all form a simple colunimar vortex of unusual configuration. The clear sky at the center is as if a hole were pierced in the saucer, through which the undisturbed air above alone was visibi®. There is probably no feature of nature more interesting to study than a hurricane, however sentiment may be affected by the experience of one at work. Twenty-Four Septembers, The following data, compiled from the weather bureau records, cover the period of twenty-four years for the month of September and should prove of value and interest in anticipating the more important Meteorological elements, and the range within which such variations may be ex- pected to keep for the coming month: Mean or normal temperature, G8 degrees. ‘The warmest month was that of 1881, with an average of 77 degrees. The coldest month was that of 1871, with an average of 62 degrees. , the highest temperature was 104 degrees on 7th, 1881. The lowest temperature was 38 degrees on 26th, 1879. Average precipitation for the month, 3.62 inches. Average number of days with .01 of an inch or more, 9. The greatest monthly precipitation was 10.81 inches, in 1876. i The least monthly precipitation was 0.1 inch, in 1884. . The greatest amount of precipitation ré- corded in any 24 consecutive hours was 5.66 inches, on 15th and 16th, 1874. Average number of clear days, 11; partly cloudy days, 11; cloudy days, The prevailing winds have the south. The highest velocity of wind was 36 miles, from the northwest, on 26th, 1882. — The Firgt Drop Bars.

A Msn Whe Had the Habit of Forget- ting d What He Did. The man held on andthe writer went started up street with a man, “I have for- gotten something.” The man held on and the whiter went back into the office and returned after a few minutes. “Are you troubled much that way?’ in- quired the man as they moved off. “Oh, only about a thousand or fifteen hundred times a day.” “I used to be that way myself, but I cured it.” “Teli me how you did it and I'll apply the same remedy if it takes a leg.” “It will take more than that if you stick to it as I did.” “Desperate diseases require desperate remedies,” suggested the writer. “If I had been a married man with the memory I've got, my wife would have been in the luna~ tie asylum by this time and I would have been in the grave, the victim of her right~ eous wrath. However, tell me the cure and I'll undertake it if possible.” “Well,” suid the doctor of memories, “twenty years ago I had the faculty of not remembering anything not directly in the line of immediate duty. My wife es- caped the asylum and the other dark tragedies you hint at by never asking me to do anything in the remembering line for her, but I had some of it to do on my own account, and I just couldn’t keep my mind where I wanted it. I got into trouble two or three times of almost a serious char- acter by my carelessness, or whatever it might be called, and at last I set up a rule not to be broken, to attend at once ts what I had forgotten as soon as it came to me. “Then the foree of it struck me. Maay and many a time I had to go back home for something I had forgotten, and as it was a mile from my office, it was no small job. So during the day if i forgot any- thing I went straight to my office for it, or wherever it might be where the forget- ling had taken place. A number of times I missed trains because about the time I would reach the station I would remember I had forgoiten, and back I would go. Once my wife missed a train with me, and for a week or two, I can tell you, my memorizer was as keen as a briar, for she talked to me in a way that I couldn’t for- get. “I did it again, though, and that time she went off without me and I followed on a later train. It was a hard school, but I was gradually improving when the climax came. I had been called away to see a lawyer in Boston in a will case, where I was to get about $3,000 as my share, pro- vided i showed tp at a certain time. When I reached the train I discovered that I had Jeft my $2 umbrella at my Office. I had made up my mind to take that umbrella, and when I found I had forgotten it, 1 immediately put my rule into operation, nt back after it and took the next train, twelve hours later. When I walked into the lawyer's office twelve or fourteen hours or more late, he threw up his hands and almost yelled that I had lost my three thousand by the delay.” The man stopped to take breath a mo- ment. “Well,” he concluded, “to make a long story short, I simply fell over in a fit and fairly pawed up the carpet in my disap- intment, but it did no good. The money lost by adherence to a fool rule, and I vowed I wouidn’t follow it any longer. And I didn’t, but it followed me, and has continued to follow me. I had taught my- selt the lesson, and now I never forget anytking, even the most trifling, and my wife would as socn give me a letter to mail as she would give {t to the postman.” “Thanks,” said The Star writer, “I guess I dot nt to be cured that way.
