"You scared mel" said he, fetching a deep
breath. II was afraid that some one had

He raised his beard and stroked his throat
with the sharp of his hand. Then, swallow

stopped to listen.

"My berth is the third" said he. II wish

He took the lantern and went aft, acting
as if he had left that berth an hour ago, and
l understood in the face of this ready recur-
renee of his memory how impossible it would
be ever to make him believe he had been
practically lifeless since the year 1853. When
he returned he had on a hairy cap, with large
covers for the ears, and a big flap behind that
fell to below his collar, and was almost as long
as his hair. He produced a pipe of the Dutch
pattern, with bowl carved into deaths
head, and great enough to hold cake of to-
bacco. The skull might have been a child's
for size, and though it was dyed with tobacco
juice, and the top blackened with the live
Goals which had been held to it, it was so
finely carved that it looked very CHASTITY

IF a curious figure, and the like. There
might have been the pickings Of the cabins,
trunks, and portmanteaus of 100 opulent
men and women in this chest; and, so far as
could judge from what lay atop, the people
plundered represented several nationalities.
But there were other chests and cases to
explore-ten in all two of these were filled
with silver money, third with plate, a
fourth with English, French, Spanish and
Portuguese coins in gold; but the one over
which Tassard hung longest in a transport
that held him dumb was the smallest of all,
and this was packed with gold in bars. The
stuff had the appearance of moldy yellow
soap, and having no sparkle nor variety
did not affect me as the jewelry had,
though in value this chest came near
to being worth as much as all the others
put together. The fixed, transported
posture of the pirate-his little shin
ing eyes intent upon the bars, his form in the
candle light looking like sketch of a strange,
wildly appareled man done in phosphorus,
coupled with the loom of the black chests,
the sense of our desolation, the folly of our
enjoyment of the sight of the treasure in the
face of our pitiable and dismal plight, the
melancholy storming of the wind, moaning
like the rumble of thunder heard in vault,
and above all the feeling of unreality inspired
by the thought of my companion having lain
for eight-and-forty years as good as dead
combined to render the scene so startingly
impressive that it remains at this hour
painted as wildly upon the eye of memory
as if | had come from it five minutes ago.

slamming the lid of the chest, SITS all here!

The next chest he opened was filed with
jewelry of various kinds-the fruits, dare
say, of dozen pillages; for not only had
this pirate robbed honest traders, but plea
room as we'll, that had also plundered in her
turn another of her own kidney; so that, as
l say, this chest of jewelry might represent
the property of the passengers of as many as
a dozen vessels. 1t was as if the contents Of
the shop of a jeweler, who was at once gold
smith and silversmith, had been emptied
into this chest. You could scarce name an
ornament that was not here-watches, snuff
boxes, buckles, bracelets, pounce poxes, vinai-
grettes, ear rings, cruciixes, stars for the
hair. necklaces-but the list grows tiresome;
in silver and gold, but chiefly in gold all
shot together and lying scramble fashion, as

THE TREASURE.

When his pipe was out he rose and made
several strides about the cook room, then took
the lantern, and, sntering the cabin, stood
awhile surveying the place.

CHAPTER XVIII.
WE TALK OVER OUR SITUATION.

WE TALK OVER OUR SITUATION.
That night, as afterward, Tassard occupied
the berth that he was used to sleep in before
he was frozen. Although had not then the
least fear that he would attempt any malig-
nant tricks with me while we remained in
this posture, the feeling that he lay in the
berth but one next mine made me uneasy in
spite of my reasoning; and was so nervous
as to silently shoot great iron bolt, so that
it would have been impossible to enter with
out beating the door in.
In sober truth, the sight of the treasure had
put sort of fever into my imagination, of
the heat and effects of which was not COM
pletely sensible until l was alone in my cabin
and swinging in the darkness. That the value
of what had seen came to ninety or hun
dred thousand pounds of our money, l could
not doubt; and will not deny that my fancy
was greatly excited by thinking of it. But
there was something else. Suppose we should
have the happiness to escape with this treas
ure, then was perfectly certain the French
man would come between me and my share
of it. This apprehension threading my
heated thoughts of the gold and silver kept
me restless during the greater part of the
night, and l also held my brains on the
stretch with devices for saving ourselves and
the treasure; yet could not satisfy my mind
that anything was to be done unless nature
herself assisted us in freeing the schooner.
However, as it happened, the gale roared
for a whole week. and the cold was 30 fright
full and the air so charged with spray and
hail that we were forced to lie close below
with the matches on for our lives.

CHAPTER XIX.
WE TAKE A VIEW OF THE ICE.


For seven days the gale ragged with uncom-
mon violence; il then broke, and this brought
US into the first week in August. The wind
fell in the night, and I was awakened by
the silence, which you will not think strange
if you consider how used were ruy ears to the
fierce seething and strong believing of the
blast l lay listening, believing that it had
only veered, and that it would come on
again in gusts and guns; but the stiffness con-
tinued, and there were no sounds whatever
save the noises of the ice, which broke upon
the ear like slow answers from batteries near
and distant, half whose cannon have been
silenced.
l slept again, and when I awoke it was
7:50 o'clock in the morning. The French
man was snoring Justify. 1 went on deck
before entering the cook house, and had
like TO have been blinded by the astonishing
brilliance of the sunshine upon the ice and
snow. All the wind was gone. The air was
exquisitely frosty and sharp. But there was
a heavy sound coming from the sea which
gave me to expect the sight of strong swell
The sky was a clear blue, and there was no
cloud on as much Of its face as showed be-
twixt the brows of the slopes.
My attention was quickly attracted by the
appearance of the starboard cliff over against
our quarter. The whole shoulder of it had
broken away, and 1 could Just catch view
of the horizon of the sea from the deck by
stretching my figure The sight of the ocean
showed me that the breakage had been pro-
digiOus, for to have come at that prospect
before 1 should have had to climb to the
height of the main lower masthead. No

That the phosphates can have any de-
trlmental influence on either gastric
juice or intestinal digestion is improb-
able, since the juices Of the digestive
organs contain these salts in relatively
large proportion. Indeed, at one time,
the acidity Of the gastric juice was coz
sldered by many to be due to the pres-
ence of phosphate acid in combination.
Practically, the "acid phosphate" as
prepared by Prof. Horsford, has been
found to act with great benefit in some
types Of dyspepsia.
While there are many baking powder
mixtures of quite dissimilar compost

or quantity to be used, in the residue, If

BRADLEY,S SALE.

Hon. G. T. Bradley has arranged to
hold his eighth annual sale of trotting
horses at Milwaukee on Wednesday,
May SO. There has been an unusually
large movement of trotting stock in
public sales this spring, but all choicely
bred horses placed on the market have
been picked up at fairly good prices.
The quality Of Mr.. Bradley's horses
to go under the hammer is superior
to any Of his previous consignment, and
rare chance is afforded horsemen to
pick up something choice at bargains.
The horses are the get of Milwaukee
COS, the sire ofMilo. 2:21; Adelaide, 2:l8,
and other fast performers. Their breed
ing represents the fashionable lines Of
Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief,
and the collection no doubt contains
some capital prizes. We would like to
congratulate some of our local horsemen
on holding winning tickets in the draw
| ing.

BAKING POWDER.

CAL COLLEGE, N. Y.

Elaborate experiments on the effect
of the residue left by cream of tartar
and other baking powders on gastric
digestion showed that the digestion Of
albumen by gastric juice was greatly re-
tarded by the residue which would be
left in biscuit made by cream OF tartar
baking powders. Besides retarding the
digestion of albumen, it was observed
that the tartrate residue rendered the
mass liable to fermentive changes.
