You might win prize in the lottery Of
life if you would break bone with .
fair young girl with your heart as fixed
upon the one purpose-possession-as
it was with the widow.
Did you ever break bone with .
staid old aunt whose fortune you hoped
to possess? If you lose your wish, your
fortune is made, for she'll put you
down as a real nice nephew without
sordid fancies, but if you win she'll
pierce you with look and say:

Always make it a point to lose your
wish when breaking bone with an ex-
pectant aunt who has fortune.

roared the mate, standin up in the
stern.
"Stan by, shipmet," says Bill, "and
leave me time to settle. Fair and stiddy
at that. Thanks kindly, officer" says
Bill, standin up himself alongside the
chest. "The raft keeps her course for
Bedford
Anything you're short of?' says the
mate.
81 wouldn t refuse little extra grog
and somethin ready cooked" says Bill.
While we were layin to for the dona-
tion the moon came up off the stern
post, and Bill spelled out the governors S
proclamation. The mate did uncommon
ly we'll by us, and besides the grog sent
us four pound lump of plumduff. And
the quartermaster who brought it had
been shipmet of Bills somewhere in
the China seas, and finer night with
a fairer wind I never saw aboard ship
than that was time we got under way.
II never knew any luck come of

Bill, Though wouldn't mind boardin

Somewhere about two bells Bill turn
ed in behind the chest, and in five min
utes he was snorin like trumpet. The
wind freshened, and the RATED bowled
along for four hours at a three knot
gait, and it must have been past mid

of the cruise. which was the gath of
the month, some wreckago hove in sight
dead ahead, and when we made it ii
proved to be the two masts Of a schooner
held together hy the stays, with booms
and gaffs and main sheets complete and
all the halliards.
"More dry rot" says Bill, "but
reckon we better wear ship and tackle to
it," The sea bein calm, we did so,
and Bill got off his togs and boarded
the sticks, with line about his middle
and meat knife from the chest in his
teeth. 1t was an all days job, but with
an occasional dram to keep out the cold
we got off the sails and foated the
masts end for end and lashed one on
our starboard side with the boom across
the stern and the other to port with her
boom across the bows, and with the gaffs
turned up and guyed forward and rig
ged with canvas we had craft that no
sea could make under, although it
might sweep us off.
There" says Bill after we got her
under way, with the sun an hour high
over the port bow, "she may not be fast,
but she's stanch, and we're b'ilin away

''Come, tumble aboard here. men, "
says the airy mate, "and be quick about
it, There's no room for that chest. -
"Where ye bound?" says Bill Marlin,

A word may be an illuminated

of keepsakes.
Some there are whose kindness ID 20
