He wished now he had paid some heed to
what had been told him.
lie had dismounted for rest and was
sitting on gravelly hillock. lie unslung
his water bottle and took short pull at
it. The wafer was warm and disagree
able; and, worst of all, it was alarmingly
low, and he had no knowledge of how
soon he might get more. He had missed
the only. spring in that section; and for
all he knew there might not be another
one on the entire Barbazon route. His
progress had been slower than he had an
ticipated. The sand was so deep in places
that wheeling was out of the question; so
lar the work had been extremely fatiguing
instead of being an exhilerating exercise.
As he set the wheels in motion he heard
singular clucking sound; turning half
around in the saddle he saw three Indians
rise from behind low mound and come
running toward him.
The sight almost took away Percy s
breath. Although he knew at glance
they were Yumas, and had been told that
the Yumas were peaceably disposed,
there was something in their bearing that
filled him with fear. He felt even more
nervous when he saw two others rise
from another mound short distance
and place themselves in a position to in
tercept him.
The wheeling was fairly good at that
point and Percy sent the bicycle forward
at a round gait, and hoped he could elude
or dash by the two Indians in front. AS
the bicycle obediently leaped ahead under
the strong propulsion he began to feel
sure he could do it.
He swerved to the right as he neared
the two Indians, and when they rushed
in that direction too, he gave quick turn
and sent the safety spinning away on a
new track. Meanwhile the three in the
rear were hurrying up with all their
might, and yelling in manner to dis
concert the hravest; and the two in front
now added their wild cries to the hideous
chorus.
''Yell away, there, you red scoun-
drels!' Percy shouted, as with squirt he
sped by, beginning to feel he would make
an easy escape. s'Yell away there; and
catch me if you canl''
He had seen that none of them had fire
arms, carrying only long lances of hard
wood tipped with IRON
But he had boosted too soon. The
Yuma nearest lifted his lance and hurled
it through the air with marvellous force
and skill. Percy glimpsed it shooting to-
ward him, and with cry of fear bent
down to escape it.
The weapon had not been hurled at
him, however. The willy Yuma had
aimed at the forward spinning wheel of
the safety. The blade of the lance passed
between the spokes and downward into
the sand where it stood imbedded, the
shaft between the spokes. One of the
spokes had been broken, and several
others bent; and Percy had been pitched
headlong over the wheel into the sand.

brig and fastened taut to her masthead
the car was slung and ready to be pulled
on board.
Now young Dorsett had time to send
his oxen away from the beach out of the
fury of the storm. for they would not
stand, and beloved with excitement and
kept on the move.
When the car reached the vessel three
of the sailors speedily got in and were
shut inside and the car started back.
The three men on shore pulled away
to bring it through the surf; but
though they got it along quite we'll until
it met the return waves, there they were
stopped. They could pull it nearer the
shore with each breaker, but the return
ing wave every time carried it back to-
wards the brig. For a while the three
tugged with ali their might, gaining what
they had lost as the breakers came in, but
losing most of it when the water rushed
back-the force OF the great surf even
pulled them along too.
They knew that the men shut up in the
close car must soon suffocate. Something
more must be done or not sailor could
be saved; besides the brig might go to
pieces any moment.
The wind was blowing so furiouSly and
roaring so loudly that the breathless life
savers were forced to make one another
understand by signs Young Dorsett
motioned to the others TO hold the car as
well as possible, and rushed for the oxen.
In few minutes he came back driving
the excited beasts before him. They were
hitched to the rope of the car and started
in shore, and then in spite of wind and
breaker and return swell, the car came
ashore, and the three men in it were taken
out alive.
Speedily was the car pulled back alon
the hawser and another load OF sailors
brought into the breakers. Again the
oxen did their work and another little
company came safe out of the car and how
they cheered the mighty oxen!
at length after several trips the car had
all ashore except the captain, steward and
mate. They remained in the rigging.
For the last time the car returned to tie

making, was in its infancy, and might
have remained SO for years if his genius
had not come to the front.
Captain James Cook sprang from the
most humble family, his father being a
simple day laborer who could only afford
70 give the promising boy the simplest
education. Marion was the name OF the
little Yorkshire village in which the
Cooks lived, but it was surrounded by
beautiful scenery. and was not far from
Stockton-on Tees, which was more pre-
tentious place, and where the Yorkshire
lad got his first notions of going to sea.
THE FAMOUS CAPTAIN COOK AS a BOY.
He was also an omniyerous reader, and
would sit up far into the night pouring
over works on navigation, and almost be-
fore he knew how to read at all he was
found spelling out the names on the old
maps and charts which existed III very
primitive form at that day.
Time came, however, for the Yorkshire
boy to be at work, and his father appren-
ticed him, as was the custom, to draper
and grocer IN small village named
Straithes, near Whitby. Boys who could
get apprenticed those days were considered
lucky, and many a future great fortune
was laid in that way. But young Cook
was not satisfied to stand behind coun-
ter and wait on the simple country folk.
It took him from the sea and shut him up
in a prison, and from the first day he
longed to escape.
The coasting trade was dangerous, and
the sturdy Yorkshire boy, whose muscles
had been hardened by an out-of-d door life
on the banks of the Tees, discovered that
he was just the person to get along in that
service. What was more, at the end of
seven years he had so pleased his employ
ers that he was advanced TO the dignity
of mate, which was the first real step
toward the goal OF his ambition.
YOUNG COOK COMES TO AMERICA.
James Cook, to save himself from i'm
pressment, resolved to offer his services
to the British navy, and in short time
he was on his way to American shores.
The Eagle was warship of sixty guns
and was commanded by Sir Hugh Palliser.
Sir Hugh noticed that his young recruit
was person of courage and Judgment,
and he at once promoted him to posi-
ton on the quarter deck, and thus
equipped Cook reached America in time
to help land the English soldiers at the
foot of the Heights of Abraham.
During this hazardous service he did
not lay down the study of mathematics
and the science OF navigation. He yearned
for wider neld, ana all Lne JlIne kept his
mind on the distant parts of the sea and
the lands which he was certain must lie
therein.
HElCoMMANDs AN EXPEDITION.
His opportunity came in the year 1853.
when he was commissioned to take COM
mand OF the expedition sent out to OBJ
serve the transit of Venus. His vessel,
Endeavor, was a small craft, too small,
IL was thought, for SO long a voyage, but
the young captain sailed away with high
hopes.
The voyage proved the first of three
which were to immortalize his name in
the annals Of discoveries. In the little
Endeavor he visited the islands of the
South seas, among them Otaheite, where
he took full observations of the transit

Before he could rise, the Indian IS hands
held him in vice-like grip
Pleased grins rested on the ugly faces OF
the Yumas as they gathered around their
captive and glanced from him to the in
iured bicycle.
"What do you want with me?' Percy
demanded, struggling to sitting posture
and making snow of bravery. "Why
did you wreck my safety that way? I'il
have you punished for it,
The Indians chuckled with delight at
his anger.

His spirit rose. He vowed he would
thwart them. He saw that though some
of the spokes were ruined the wheel was
still strong enough to do good service.

bicycle round and round in little circle,
all the while causing it to wobbe as if it
were out of order. Under his indifference
he was closly watching with a wildly
beating heart for a chance t. break past
the line of lances and send his wheel
spinning across the sand. Slowly he in
creased the circle, adding a yard or two
to its diameter at every sweep. Suddenly,
seeing an opening, he made a sharp,
quick turn, and throwing all his strength
into the rush made dash for liberty.
A threatening yell arose behind and
several lance points whizzed past him
But the haste with which they were
thrown caused them to fly wildly. None
touched him; and in another moment
the young bicyclist had spun well out be-
You'd the yelling circle and was flying
with all speed across the graYeDy waste
the YumaS in pursuit.
Being splendid runners the Indians
crowded him uncomfortably close for the
first hundred yards. At that point the
earth became yet firmer and with the adj
vantage of this better roadway Percy rap
idly increased the distance between him
self and these very unpleasant acquain-
tances.
The Yumas did not come into view
again, probably having abandoned the
useless chase; and the next afternoon
Percy reached Barbazon safe and sound.

wire, 50 also is the shade supported by
bent wires. The band at the top of the
shade is made by cutting section from a
very small egg and gluing it on to fit.
The tiny reflector at the top is made from
a pigeon IS egg. The whole is put together
with fine copper wire. Careful fingers can
fashion the whole series of loops and
bands and curves. Use floating wick in

in Kona and Olaa from articles
which have appeared from time to

Another section of Hawaii is
rapidly coming to the front as a
embarrassing district, and regard
ing the prospects in that part of
the island, Mr.. L. Rycroft, a prom
inent planter of Pohoiki, Puma,

my lack of experience, l can

that over 5000 pounds will be taken
as the first crop from the bushes,
The growth of the trees is some

In speaking of blight, Mr.. Rye
croft said: I'VE have had white
aphis' on all trees that have been
planted on land which had formerly
grown guava bushes. 1t has given
us but little trouble, as we have
looked after it in time. AT the
