second person a decoy, and every third
house a place in which seamen would be
drugged and murdered.
All this time, you should know, the
Covenant was meeting continual head
winds and tumbling up and down against
head seas, SO that the scuttle was almost
constantly shut and the forecastle light
ed only by a swinging lantern on a
beam. There was constant labor for all
hands; the sails had to be made and
shortened every hour; the strain told on
the mems temper; there was growl Of
quarreling all day long from berth to
berth, and as was never allowed to set
my foot on deck you can picture to your
selves how weary of my life l grew to
be and how impatient for change.
And change l was to get, as you
shall hear; but must first tell of con-
versation had with Mr.. Riach, which
put little heart in me to bear my trou-
bles. Getting him in favorable stage
Of drink (for indeed he never looked
near me when he was sober, l pledged
him to secrecy and told him my whole
story.
He declared it was like ballad; that
he would do his best to help me; that
should have paper, pen and ink, and
write one line to Mr.. Campbell and an
other to Mr.. Rankeillor, and that if /
had told the truth ten to one he would
be able, with their help, to pull me
through and set me in my rights.
"And in the meantime" says he, ''keep
your heart up. You're not the only one,
I'll tell you that. There's many a man
hoeing tobacco over seas that should be
mounting his horse at his own door at
home; many and many! And life is all
a variorum at the best. Look at me.
I'm a laird's son. and more than half
doctor, and here am man Jack to
Hoseasonp'
thought it would be civil to ask him
for his story.
He whistled loud.
Never had one," said he. II liked
fun, that's ALL"
And he skipped out of the forecastle.

One night. about nine o'clock, a man
Of Mr.. RiAch' watch (Which was on
deck came down for his jacket, and in
stantly there began to go whisper
about the forecastle that "Shuan had
done for him at last" There was no
need for name-we all knew who was
meant-but we had scare time to get
the idea rightly in our heads, far less to
speak Of it, when the scuttle was again
flung open and Captain Hoseason came
down the ladder. He looked sharply
around the hunks in the tossing light of
the lantern, and then walking straight
up to me addressed me, to my surprise,
in tones of kindness.
my man." said he, 1--WE want ye to
serve in the roundhouse. You and Ran
some are to change berths. Run away
aft with ye."
Even as he spoke two seamen appeared
in the scuttle carrying Ransome in their
arms, and the ship at that moment Civ
ing a great sheer into the sea and the
lantern swinging, the light fell direct on
the boys face. 1t was as white as wax
and had look upon it like dreadful
smile. The blood in me ran cold, and |
drew in my breath as if l had been
struck.
Run away aft. Run away aft with
ye" cried Hoseason.
And at that brushed by the sailors
and the boy (who neither spoke nor
moved) and ran up the ladder on deck.
The brig was sheering swiftly and
giddily through a long, cresting swell.
She was on the starboard tack, and on
the left hand, under the arched foot of
the foresail, could see the sunset still
quite bright. This at such an hour Of
the night surprised me greatly, but l
was too ignorant to draw the true con-
clusion-that we were going north about
round Scotland and we were now on the
high sea between the Orkney and the

could not but fancy they were making
up leeway with their consciences, and
that they would scarce have been 80
good with me if they had not been
worse with Ransome.
l was as well fed as the best Of them;
even their pickles, which were the great
dainty, was allowed my share of, and
had I liked I might have been drunk
from morning to night, like Mr.. Shusn.
/ had company, too, and good company
Of its sort. Mr.. Risch, who had been to
the college, spoke to me like friend
when he was not sulking, and told me
many curious things, and some that
were informing, and even the captain,
though he kept me at the sticks end the
most part Of the time, would sometimes
unbuckle bit and tell me Of the fine
countries he had visited.
The shadow Of poor Ransome, to be
sure, lay ON all four of US, and on me
and Mr.. Shuan in particular most heav-
lily. And then had another trouble Of
my own. Here / was, doing dirty work
for three men that looked down upon,
and one of whom at least should have
hung upon a gallows that was for the
present, and as for the future, could
only see myself shaving alongside of ne
groes in the tobacco fields. Mr.. Riach,
perhaps from caution, would never suf-
fer me to say another word about my
story; the captain, whom tried to ap-
proach, rebuffed me like a dog, and
would not hear word, and as the days
came and went my heart sank lower
and lower till was even glad of the
work, which kept me from thinking.

daughter returned last Friday from
his visit ir Indiana He says there
was a great amount of snow aud ice
in that state the past winter, and that
crop prospects for this year are poor.
He was greatly amused at the farmers
there talking about putting in 10, 20
or 80 acres of wheat; the man who put
in 80 acres was thought to be growing
wheat on an immense scale, while the
man who sowed 20 acres made as
much worry over how he would har-
vest and care for it as a man would
make over hundred acre field out
here in Barton county.
