CHAPTER VL-CoNr1NUED.
fCoPYRIGHT, 1894 ]

To the captains utter amazement
twenty other passengers shouted:
ave, aye, shut off your steam
Even then some horrible suspicion of
the truth mu t have flashed upon the
wretched officers mind as he looked
down upon this group. He caught the
rail moment with both hands, then
wheeled round and, folding his arms,
said to his companion on the bridge:
'Stop herr
Pedro had slackened speed and was
now blowing a white cloud of steam.
For ten minutes everybody on the
Corinthian watched the vessels ap-
proach each other and, when they
were less than a thousand feet apart,
every one could see the line of heads
along the smaller vessels taffrail.
The sea was unusually calm and
CLASSY, and presently boat manned
by six men put off from the San Pedro.
When the young man who repre-
: sented the pirate had reached the deck
of the Corinthian he found himself
facing a crowd of men and women in
every condition of alarm and anxiety
He was dressed in a blue shirt and
common duck trousers and glazed cap;
. in his belt he carried regulation navy
revolver. He saluted the captain po-
litely and said, in pleasant voice:
II am instructed, sir, to ask you to
order your people below. We will
come alongside and remove your spe-
Gle. No harm will be done and no in
dignity offered to your crew or passen-
gers"
Damn your impudence, sir" re-
torted Capt. Jamison. 1--we great
mind to chuck you into the sea myself.
Go back and tell your buccaneer that
a British captain sinks with his ship
and cargo. He doesn't hand them over
to the first cowardly rascal he meets"
GAS you please, SIR" the young man
replied. SIT would be a cruel necessity
to send this vessel and it's people to
the bottom"
He turned to go to his boat after
making another salute and one of lhe
passengers again interfered.
"We object to the arrangement" he
said, land are not going to be muir
dered on the high seas to save your
gold"
Whereupon twenty other passengers
armed with revolvers stepped out and
repeated: AYE, aye. Take the gold,
but we want to reach our destination"
The upshot was that the captain and
his officers were locked in the cabin,
the passengers ordered below and the
San Pedro dashed alongside. 1t took
seventy-five men two hours and half
to transfer the gold from one vessel to
another, and a sharp lookout was kept
fer approaching steamships. When
the task was accomplished, the en-
gineers were ordered on deck and
three of the Pedro's crew went below
and effectually disabled the ma
chinery of the Corinthian. This took
another hour.
The last thing the pirates saw was
the white hair of Capt. Jamison blow
ing in the wind that had sprung up
from the northeast, as he shook his
fist at them. And the last words they
heard were: ''rl hang every dog OF
you before die"

CHAPTER VIII.

During that month he remained at
Laran, as he called the place, superin-
tending the improvements that he had
projected. He had purchased the land
and fenced it with an impregnable
steel fence for several acres around
each entrance to the cave.
During his absence, Laport had gone
over the entire place with subordi-
nate who appeared to be familiar with
every part of it. They had set out with
lanterns, ladders and other appliances
which were loaded upon a couple Of
Rocky mountain burros that Laport
found in the place.
Through the alley or corridor that
led from the rugged space at the en-
trance, Laport noticed that the coal
measures showed themselves on both
sides. The passage opened into vast
room almost circular and with a vault
ed roof. Its superficial area was at
least three acres and Laport could not

Work to Be Commenced This Week by
Taking Field Notes in Many States.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-During the
coming week work will be commenced
by the geological survey taking field
notes in many of the states. The fact
that the appropriation did not become
available until few days ago is Of
fered as an explanation of why it is
that work in this line did not COM
mence earlier in the season. 1t is now
estimated that it will be possible to
continue the work of taking field notes
states, while in others the work will
have to be suspended about the middle
of September.
The most important work to be done
this year. according the expectations
of the superintendent of the geological
survey. is allotted to Prof. En- mons,
who is assigned the task of invading
Colorado and taking notes in and
around the new mining camps.
large amount of geological information
has been upturned during the last year
by the picks of the miners, and it is ex-
pected to be able to gather In this
within few days and extend the in
vestigation into certain branches of the
work in the line of precious metal

The exiled Marius sitting among the ruins
of Carthage is a spectacle that has moved
many schoolboy to oratory.
Cardinal Polignac would never have writ
ten the ''Anti-Lucretius' had it not been that
he was sent into exile and so afforded the
leisure.
Whole families have sometimes been exiled
at one time. The Stuart family was twice
driven from England, and at different times
the Bourbons and Bonspartes have been ex-
PEELED from France.

There is one important factor, however,
that must not be lost sight Of in the consid-

is the powerful old Russian nobility. which
has been able to thwart not merely its SOW

lower classes and the Introduction of more
liberal forms of government, but has always
proved powerfuI obstacle in any attempted
approach to more intimate relations with Ger
many. The suggestion has not infrequentlY
been advanced that this MOBILITY would, under
Eiven conditions, be as vindictiye as the most
pronounced nihilist, nor hesitate as little to
resort 10 extreme measures if such should
be deemed essential 10 the attainment OF Its
ends.
Altogether, the situation that will be pre-
sented upon the death of the present Gar is
full Of interest to the speculator in European

ROBERT MORRIS.
Recording Secretary. >.

The recent rededicauon Of the old Holland
land office at Batavia in honor OF the mem
orv Of Robert Morris is a fitting tribute to
the great fnancier Of the Revolution. 1t is
strange, however, that Philadelphia, his
home. should have left the giving OF this
tribute to Western New York, where he sank
his fortune in wild land speculatons.
The soldier or the sailor and the general or
the admiral are the usual recipients Of the
laurels Of grateful countrymen. The Pomp
and noise Of their attainments on land and
sea are justly appreciated. but sometimes
overestimated bv the nation in whose service
they have fought. Thus il was that Robert
Morris was overlooked.
Just as earnestly. and al times almost hope
lessly, did this general Of finance fight for
the fortunes Of his country, and as much was
the outcome due to has efforts as TO the other
heroes of the Revolution whose work was done
on the field or on the deck. Problems just as
serious were his to overcome, and his success
was one Of the marvels Of that fight of wild
Territory against an empire.
1T may be that hereafter said Mr.. Car
Isle in concluding his speech at Batavia,
Somewhere in this great land OF ours,
which he sacrificed so much to make
free and prosperous, there will be gathered
beneath the dome Of an American Pan
theoa the remains Of all our honored dead,
and, If so, the obscure grave at Philadel-
phia viii give up its tenant and the mau-
soleun Of Robert Morris will become conse-
Grated shrine where generations oG free men
win uncover their heads in honor Of his mem
ory as long as the republic endures."
And SO it should be. The public parks and
streets Of Z thousand cities are full Of monu-
ments to prominent figures in the wars OF our
national past. Robert Morris is nowhere
among them. His body lies in an obscure
corner of a churchyard in Philadelphia, the
city which delighted to honor him when he
Was in the zenith of his success.

Theological Status
''The religion of the poets is a theme upon
which Rev. Rush R. Shippen, pastor of All

For sixty years" said DR.. Shippen,
"Oliver Wendell Holmes had held place in
the estimation of the American people second

of eighty-flve, he was among the eldest of the
American poets and contemporary of Long

brightest poets of the generation.
Holmes was loyal, devoted Unitarian In
