CHAPTER FOURTH.

The next day, as the chronometer
showed that the ship was sixty-ive
miles from East Main street. Port
Huron, the Mate approached the Cap
tain and said after the usual salute of
''Aye, aye, sir:''
Il fear we are going to have trouble
with the men,
"What makes you think so?'' asked
the Captain.

d baneful influence on them. They

day there was raw oysters to begin
with, as we always have before the
consomme. They growled because the
oysters were common raw oysters on
ice and not on the half SHE'LL"
x The Captain frowned.

we neglected to have them that way,
although they are perfectly good.''

course we must expect some growing

The men came sullenly aft, and any
one at all practiced in their ways could
see in a moment that there was going
to be trouble.
''Now then" cried the Captain,
''swab off the decks, will your"
Not a man moved.
"What's this?" cried the Captain,
angrily. "This is rank mutiny."
"Not so," said j. Marston Ingram,
stepping airily forward and making a
low bow. mot so, Captain. We are
merely on strike.'
"On striker shouted the Captain,
son strike! Why, what's strike at
sea but a mutiny?"
'Perhaps they are somewhat SINH
lar" said Ingram, speaking with great
Difference. 1T is legal point that
we, as members of the Seaman's
Union, desire to have settled. We call
it strike. You may call it mutiny
if you wish. We simply assert our
rights as working men not to work
You can hire others if you choose.
We respect the law too much to inter-
fere."
''How in thunder can hire any body
out here in the middle of the lakeP'
"Ah! that is your affair, not ours"
The Captain and the Mate retired to
the cabin to consult on the novel stu
atition. If the trouble was simply a
strike, they would have to succumb.
If it was a mutiny, then it would DO
their duty to string up the half-dozen
men at the yard arms. The Mate was
certain that this was the thing to do in
all respectable mutinies, although he
believed that in some such cases it was
fashionable to make the men walk the
plank. The Captain said "pshaw,' and
held that that was only done by pirates.
After discussing the matter for some
time. they agreed that the fuss was
really a full-grown mutiny and they
proceeded on deck to do their duty in
hanging the men. " '@@

CHAPTER SECOND.

The good ship Blue Peter stood out
for Lake St. Clair. She passed the
island in safety, caught the tide all

An ominous black cloud was slowly

dead calm and was blowing throug h

sailors blanch as they heard It given.

Come down." he yelled through
his speaking trumpet. "Climb up the

There were ominous murmurs
among the crew at this brutal com.
lnand, for in all their experience they
had never known the same man to be
asked to clew more than one pinnacle
at a time. The Mate paid no attention
to the growls other than casting a
Menacing fook'at the mon. "
The storm was now at it's height.
The ship rolled so that the tips of the
yard-arms touched the seething waters
on eithec side. 1t was such storm as
is quite common on the lakes, but it is
never seen in the tropics or in the
ocean anywhere.
"Aye, aye, sir!" shouted back In
gram, and watching his chance, he
slipped off the end of the yard-arm in
to the smothering surf. A cry OF
! horror arose from the men.
"He prefers death to staying on
board this ship" said one of the men.

STRIKE OR MUTINY {?
A Thrilling and Simply Awful Tale
: Of the Sea.
CHAPTER FiRSE

Luke Sharp, IN Detroit Free TfeSS, lay
at her offing at the wharf in Detroit.
Davy Jones, the mate, sat on his lock-
err and was evidently in very bad hui
NOR. Ever and anon he rose and paced
the deck impatiently. The ship was
ready to sail, but one of the crew who
had been hired for the long voyage to
Chicago had not yet presented himself.
The tide was ready for business aud the
Mate was anxious to get off so as to
catch the trade winds that blew across
I Lake ST. Clair. Mr.. Davy Jones used
language with reference to this delay
that would not look we'll in print, and
any how it has nothing to do with the
plot of this Clark Russellian story.
just as the patience and the vocabu-
larry of Mr.. Jones were both exhaust
ed, a dapper stranger came down First
street and approached the Blue Peter.
Behind him came colored lad, who
carried q very handsome valise. The
stranger was tall and extremely we'll
dressed. He wore gloves and his cuffs
+ and collar were spotless white. A pair
& of gold-rimmed eyeglasses were astride
his nose, and connected with them was
thin gold chain that was listened to
bis vest. As he saw the Tuning Mate
lie said:
& ''Ah! How-de-do!''
& +'Look here" cried the mate as the
dapper young man stepped aboard,
'4this is not a passenger vessel"
n sit is the Blue Peter, is it not?" an
swcred the young man, as he tossed the
boy quarter. you are the Mate,
presumed"
& ''Well, what of it?" answered that
3 official "What if l am the Mate?"
Il merely wanted to know, you know.
I have shipped on this boat as an able
seaman, and I would be much obliged
to you if you would ring for the bell
boy to show me to my room.''
The deuce you have!" cried the
+ Mate, who had nearly tainted with
astonishment. ''You have kept us
waiting, then, and we will very likely
miss the tide"
Il am sorry for that" said the sailor
I 'tBut, you see, had to have shave
and SO was kept waiting for my turn.
Z couldn't begin a voyage to Chicago
. without a shave, you know"
#.s The Mate, in surly manner, had to
admit that such a proceeding would
& havedbeen quite unprecedented, and at
this moment the cabin-boy approached
and took the sailors yalise, 31timating
that his room was all ready for him.
s The Mate muttered to himself as he
saw the sailor disappear. It was evil
dent that he did not like the cut of his
jib, as landsmen say.
81 '1'll take the starch out of that fell
low before we get to Chicago, see if I
DON'T" said Mr. Jones, addressing his
4 locker.
Thus you will notice that trouble
looms right up at the end Of the very
4 first chapter, but you may bet largely
that the dapper young man is going
to come out all right. They always
do.

CHAPTER THIRD.

At this moment j. Marston Ingram
did something that is never done on
ship-board or off except in thrilling
novels like this one.
When the ship made her second dip
on that side he nimbly caught the end
of the yard arm and was carried aloft
amidst the rousing cheers of his COM
rades. He clewed up the pinnacle and
slid down on deck along the main jib
boom taut sheet.
The Mate muttered to himself:
"'Foiled, foiled?" Crashing his teeth,
he took fresh chew of tobacco, ar
ulsailor-like vice to which he was ad
dicted, and went into the cabin.

live. the brick sidewalks on which they
tread. the electric or gas lights which the
public supply for their comfort, the
schools in which their children are educat-
ed. the churches in which they worship,
the pews in which they sit, and even the
preacher to whom they listen tell. not
only how men ought to die. but also how
they ought to live? How is it, we ask,
that this one-fifth is taxed to support the
four-ffths class, and whether it be not a
crime on the part of thisl latter in maintain
ing such Il dependency?
However, it is not over hard for him
who has eyes to see to understand how
this thing comes about. 1t Is all, or
nearly all, in the way ones opportunity is
improved. We once heard of a man who
was denominated a turnip, because OF the
way he had Of waiting Tor things to turn
up. This man would go to the store or
tavern on rainy days, waiting for clear
weather to do many things at home he
could do on that day as well as on a clear
day. In everything else it was the same
always waiting for something to turn up.
The industrious man doesn't do things
that way. He works while the other
sleeps, while he is at the store talking
profitless talk and spending money. Works
while the other is fishing, while he is at
the circus, OF a strike, or in some other
way idly ~lonnging away valuable time
and fitting hi mself for what he may after
ward become-a mere burden and parasite
on the public. In short, he is a criminal
per Sc, and We think society will some day
recognize this fact.

CLOTHING!

We read of large stocks of cloth
ing and low prices. It's an easy
matter to write a flaming advertise
ment, but sometimes difficult to sus-
tain assertions by facts. We don't
aim to say anything in our
advertisements about our goods
that is not strictly true. It is well
known that our stock is at all times
the largest by far of any in this
county. There is none larger in
any town in South Jersey. 1t is as
we'll known that we are in position
to buy cheaper than others and at
all times prepared and willing to
work on close profits. This season
we are better fixed than ever be-
fore. We had most of our stock
made expressly to our own order.
Now therefore take notice, that if
you want to save from one to five
dollars on the purchase of a single
suit or ~overcoat, come TO headquar-
tiers where you get full returns for
every penny you invest.
Buyers from Swedesboro, Salem
or Alloway, whose purchases
amount to TEN DOLLARS or
over, will have their fare paid both
ways.
We have yet to hear the first
complaint of our Lester Boots,
but on the contrary all speak well of
them. They COST NO MORE
THAN OTHER MAKES, and you
may as well have the best. Don't
forget US when you want to buy.
