The Reward of Heroism, HREE persons were walking up i the main street of Hobart Town, the chief city of Van Dieman's land, one December morning in 1838, six years after the rescue of the castaways. The trio of promenaders were Mesdames Jellicoe and Protherick, wives of local officials, and the Rev. Mr, Meckin, the settlement’s newly ar- rived clergymam He had overtaken the ladies and wae sauntering along with them. “TI am on my way to call on Major Vickers," observed the rector in a pause tn the talk. “A sad thing,” said Mrs. Jellicoe. “Quite a romance. if {t was not so ead, you know. His witfe, poor Mra. Vickers."" “My dear leddies, I have only been in Hobart Town a week, and I have not heard the story."* “It's about the mutiny, you know, the mutiny at Macquarie Harbor. The pris- ‘enere took the ship and put Mre. Vickers ‘and 6ylvia ashore somewhere. Capt.Brere wtth them, too.

Frere's generosity fm pleading that the brute’s sentence be wommuted te life imprisonment in @hains.” "Dear, dear! a strange story, indeed,” waid Mr. Meekin. “And #o the young lady doesn't know anything bout it?” “Only what she has been told by Capt. Wrere, of course, poor dear, She's en- gaged to Capt. Frere.” “Really! To the man who saved her. (How charming—quite a romance!"’ Mr. Meekin entered the house and was politely greeted by Major Vickers, now Commandant of the Penal Séttlement at Hobart Town, and by Sylvia, who had grown to beautiful young womanhood, ‘A few moments Inter Capt. Frere was announced. Though Vickers's hair was white, Hrere bore tis his thinty-odd ‘as though he were much younger, After the resoue of the castaways he had found himself, owing to his own ver- wion of the story, a local hero, Mra, ‘Vickers was dead, Sylvia's memory was gone. So none could deny his report or give Dawes credit for what he had done, Frere was rewarded by the Government by @ Captaincy and the post of Buper- intendent of Convicts, Mr. Meeckin has beheld Sylvia unaf- festedly kiss both gentlemen, but be- came strangely aware that the kiss be- stowed upon her father was warmer than that which greeted her aManced hueband, “Have you Weard the news?’ askod Frere, after teing introduced to Mr. “Ah,” said Vickers, with grave face ® most extraordinary thing, fe caught those villains.” “What, you don't mean—— No, papa!” ald Sylvia, turning round with alarmed face. " In that little family there “were, for eonversational purposes, but one set of villains in the world—the mutineers of the Oxprey, ‘They've got four of them in the bay at this moment—Rex, Barker, Shiers and Lesly, They are on board the Lady dune. The most oxtracrdinary story 1 ever heard An my iife. The fellows got to China and passed themselves of as shipwrecked sallora. The merchants in Canton got up & subscription and sent them to London. They were recognized there by old Pine, who had been sur- eon on board the ship they came ut in.” Bylvia sat down on the nearest chair, with heightened color. “And where are others?" 0 were executed in England; the yother vix have not been taken. These tenced to death for bolting, buzz of remark shine etween the veranda and the blind, as though the bright Ueht might enable her to remember something. “What's the matter!’ asked Frere, bending over. "I was trying to recollect, but 1 can't, Maurice. It is all confused. 1 only remember a great hore and a Great sea, and two men, one of whom —that's you, dear, you've told me— carried me in his arma.’ Frere, looking at her uneasily, shifted in his seat. ‘There, don’t think about it now," he said. ‘Maurice," asked ehe suddenly, “what became of the other man?’ “Oh, ah, the prisoner," sald Frere, Ss if he, too, had forgotten. “Why, you know, darling, he was sent to Port Arthur." “By the bye," eald Vickers, “T sup- pose we shall hmve to get that fellow up for trial. We have to identify the vil. fains,"" Accordingly, a few weeks later, Dawes was sent for, from his Uving grave, and brought to Hobart Town to testify in court as to the identity of John Rex and his compantoris. The story of the mutineers’ strange adventures caused the court-room to be crowded on the day of the trial. Sylvia, strongly againat Frere’s wish, was pres- ent with her father. The curlous throng assembled in court almost e# much for the sake of @ glimpse at “the notorious Dawes" as at the pris- oners on trial. Sylvia, wearytng of the bong routine of the trial, was leaving court with ber father when a volce from the witness box behind her made her eud- denly pale and pause to look again. ‘The court ftteelf appeared, at that entered the witness-box. He was in the prime of Ife, with a torso mhose Muscular grandeur not even the ill- fitting yellow jacket could altogether conceal, with strong, embrowned and nervous hands, an upright carriage, and a pair of Merce black eyes that roamed over the court hungrtly. Calmly he gave the evidence re- quired. Sylvia, looking at him and Grinking in his every word, felt her brain whirl with vague, shepeless thoughts end memories clamoring for Mfe. At last ehe gave a low ery and fell tnto her father’s arms. “Oh, papa, take mo away! I fedl as tf I was going to remember sraetins Ami4 the deep silence that the cry of the poor giri was distinctly audible in the court, and all heads turn- ed to the door. In the general wonder Ro one noticed the change that passed over bese) Dawes. The convict raised both his hands with sudden action of wrathful despair, but, checking himself with sudden impuise, wheeled round to the Court. ‘Your Honor! Gentlemen! I want to speak!" The change in the tone of his volve, no leas than the sudden loudness of the exclamation, made the faces, hitherto bent upon the door through which Mr. Frere has paesed, turn round again. “Your Honor, there has been some dreadful mistake made. I want to ex- plain about myself, { explained before, when first I was seat to Port Arthur, Dut the letters wore never forwarded by the Commandant; of course that's the rule, and I can't complain. I've been sent there unjustly, Your Honor. I made that boat, Your Honor. I eaved the Major's wife and daughter. I was the man; I did tt all myself; and my liberty Was sworn away by a villain who hatud me. I thought, until now, that no one knew the truth, for they told me that she was dead.’ ‘His rapid utterance took the Court so much by surprise that no one Interrupted him. “I was sen- and they Yeprieved me because 1 heyped them in the boat. Helped them! Why, I made Mt! She will tell you eo. I nursed he I carried her in my arms! I starved myself for her! She was fond of me, er, Bhe was, indeed. She called me ‘Gooa Mr. Dawes,’ ‘At this & ooarse laugh broke out, which was fnstantly checked. Tho Judge bent over to ask, “Does he mean Miss Vickers?” And in this interval Rufus Dawes, looking down into the court, saw Maurice Frere staring up at him with terror in his eyes, “I see you, Capt. Frere, coward and Mar!

Frawley, the veteran athletlo In- structor, of No. 115 Morning Star road, Elm Park, 8. 1. For It was “Jimmy” Frawley, as the President calls him, who firet taught Theodore Roosevelt how to box and how to put on muscle. So Impreesed was Roosevelt with Fraw- ley'e ability that he would not box with any other instructora, The Evening World has engaged Mr. Frawley to give to Its readers, In a series of articles, the samo Inetruc- tlons which he gave to the Preaident, Mr. Frawley Is not a theoretical athlete. He Is himself the best Illus. tration of the system he odvocates. At fifty-two years of age ho Is per fect physically and during his entire life he has never been sick a mo- ment. In the following serles of articles each statement of the athletlo In- structor will have back of It the ex- perience and observation of thirty- two years. The exercises he de- scribes and advises he has tested for years himself, and has noted their ‘fect on many classes of puplis, Letters of Inquiry addressed to James L.
