We are soon in the yacht-Coreta,

showed clear of tho castle walls, her
sails fill. and we are off for Coquombo.
Faithful, Pedro! He and Manuel were
doing in the cabin when they were
startled by Il tremendous lurching of
The yacht. They rushed on deck to find
that she had broken the fastening that
held her to the pier and was drifting
cut to sea.
"Senor Ciaud," said Pedro, 1.-THE sea
had risen so. high that the pier was
many feet below the yacht, and only
for its breaking loose we would have
been deep down under tho water.
1--WE speedily hoisted sail, when to
my amazemcnt l saw the gray walls
of the castle in the distance with the
waves dashing against them. We had
drifted past the castle. Then l real
lied that instead of drifting toward tho
mainland we had drifed across the
island, past the castle and ont to sea.
l knew not If you were lost, but after a
time the sea seemed not SO rough, and

We gazed back in the direction of
Chanson. Only the towering chimneys
and high gables of the old castle tour
view, and even as our eyes rested upon
them they disappeared forever from
the sight of man. Higher and angrier
grew the waters. A tremendous wave
seemed almost to lift us from the bosom
of the deep and hurl us farther on.

There, Coquombo and the coast of

waves! Isee it all. Coreta, darling,
it was not the rising of the waters that
hid Chanson from view. Our island
home has sunk beneath the sea forever.
The waves of centu ries have done their
work. The foundation gradually has
washed from beneath those huge bowl
ders that held the isle together, and it
has sunk to rest. Deep down in the
ocean lies Chanson- There the old cas-
tie, tenantless save by the fishes of the
sea, may strive to raise from its watery
bed. 1t is there forever. Theye is the old

armory and there yet ON the walls that
vast array of weapons of other ages will
hang, never to be removed by human
agencies, but swayed back and forth by
the action Of the mighty deep. There
is the vault With the bones OF the pirate
kings. There is dear Don Ignace, the last
Of his race indeed, to find q resting
place meath the soil of his ancestral
home. The island and Don Ignace dis
appeared together. There old Martell
still holds bis vigil over the treasure
chest-the treasure chest? All, 1t Is
empty. Its millions are in the Golfers
of the yacht.
We reach the pier. The waters are
no higher than usual. My dear wife
sits sobbing by my side, and my boy lies
sleeping on my knees. We are soon In
the hosiery of Don Miguel.
AT dawn Of day leave my wife and
boy sleeping and visit the pier. 1t IS
thronged with people, all talking wild
", gesticulating and gazing In the d.
rection from which should loom up the
castle walls of Chanson. Naught but
a vast expanse of old ocean meets their
gaze. The white caps are dancing mer-
rily over the island Of Chanson. Only
once more do gaze in that direction
and that is when, with wife and boy,
the maid and faithful Pedro and Man
uel, | stand on the deck of an ocean
steamer whose destination is New York.
We wave last farewell to the locality
where once stood Chanson.
The treasure Of the pirate kings goes

arise to follow it from the bosom of the

What Is The Income Tax So Much
Dreaded

It is nothing more nor less than 2
cents on every dollar the business man
makes in excess of $4,000 a year.
That's all there is to dread about it.
We know of no one better able to
pay taxes than those of large incomes.
We regard it as a direct, straight for
ward and fair form of taxation, thus
making every one contribute to the
wants and needs of his Government
just in proportion to the revenues he
takes in under its protection. 1t is
the immensely rich rather than those
just barely falling under the influence
of the law that are exerting the great
est influence to defeat it. They would
have it run lower down the scale of
wealth in order to render it more gen
orally applicable and therefore more
liable to defeat. 1t is true, as has been
said thousands of times over in tariff
debates and in the tons of dissertations
upon political economy, that our tariff
and internal taxes are levied largely
on consumption of the necessities of
life. The consumption of these nee.
essaries by the comparatively few rich
does not bear the same relation to the
amount consumed by the poor as the
income Of the rich does to the wages
of the poor. Any one whose income
is less than $4,000 per annum is not
taxable under the proposed law.
In England, we are informed, there
is an income tax of about 4 per cent
or about twice that proposed here.
In Italy it is 20 per cent on incomes
derived from invested property. In
Germany it is reported as being on a
sliding scale running all the way from
S per cent to 40 on incomes of $780, 900
a year and upward. Sooner or later
IN this country, too, the rich will pay
their due proportion of taxes. Mark
it, please.

FRIDAY, JUNE I, 1894.

Judge Dittenhoffer, contends, as it
seems, that there are but three grounds
that will justify you in telling what has
been told you in confidence, namely:
TO save your country from treason, to
save human life from the gallows,
or to save a woman's honor. Had the
Judge said YOU might with honor and
propriety also disclose for the public
good, and as a matter of patriotism,
any and all attempts to bribe you
when your vote is worth money to
bribers, there is no telling how many
more ugly disclosures might have been
made as a result. But the Judge
takes the more unwholesome view,
likely, that " everything is fair in pol
itics," and he seems to have lots OF
company among our trusted statesmen
who hold the same opinion. The
chances are ten to one that the man
who said silence is golden " was a
Congressman or Senator.
