CHAPTER VL-CoNTINUED.
To the captains utter amazement
twenty other passengers shouted:
"Aye, aye, shut off your steam
Even then some horrible suspicion of
the truth must 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
As If in anticipation of this, the San
Pedro had slackened speed and was
now blowing 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 & crowd of men and women in
every condition of alarm and anxiety.
He was dressed in blue shirt and
common duck trousers and glazed cap;
in his belt he carried a regulation navy
revolver. He saluted the captain po-
1itely 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. I've a 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"
''As you please, SIR" the young man
replied. sit would be 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 the
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 a half
to transfer the gold from one vessel to
another, and sharp lookout was kept
for approaching steamships. When
the task was accomplished, the en-
gineers were ordered on deck and
three Of the Pedros 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: "Tll hang every dog of
you before die"

CHAPTER VII

No one knew SO well as Hendricks,
who sat in the cabin of the San Pedro,
that all this was childs play to
what was to come. He had sixteen
hundred miles to run. He was loaded
heavily with coal and the gold had
weighted his vessel too seriously to
think of getting anything like the
speed out of her that he desired. She
was schooner-rigged and there was a
stiff wind blowing from the northeast.
That was in his favor. But he calcu-
lated that if one of the westward-bound
ocean greyhounds spoke the Corinthian
and got her story, the news would
reach New York and set the telegraph
in operation much too soon for his
safety. He had informed himself of
the position of all the government YES
sells and he knew that there was at
last accounts fast cruiser in Mobile
bay. He, therefore, calculated as close
ly as he could the chances of the Cor
inthian being intercepted; for, dis
abled as she was, it would be her cap
tain's plan to put her in the route of a
westward-boundst steamship.
He betrayed his anxiety to the cap
tain, but that parsonage filed himself
with Medford rum and insisted that the
worst part of the job was done.
The first thing that Hendricks did
was to throw his guns overheard to-
gether with all his superhuous shot
and ammunition. He then got up steam
and stood off in a southeasterly direc.
ton until the Corinthian was hull
down, when he shifted his course and
went directly west.
There was another source of anxiety
in his crew, but here his matchless
cunning and self-reliance stood him
well in hand. He knew what he could
do with them if he got within American
waters, and they were equally anxious
with himself to get off the high seas
1t blew a stiff gale all the first night
and his vessel labored badly. Finally
he took his captains advice, which was
to save his coal till he wanted to show
his heels to something and take it easy
it was nearly six days before he struck
the Gulf stream and he had not seen a
puff of black smoke on the horizon.
He had provided himself with four
boats and managed to land thirty of
his men with thousand dollars of
American gold eagles in each mans
pocket, at San Augustine in the night.
They were as anxious as he to part
company, and with a thousand dollars
every man of them felt as rich as his
leader. The moment he had reduced
his crew, he clapped on steam, went
down the coast and rounded Cape Fear
well to the south. He is known to have
landed a few more men somewhere or
the coast of southern Georgia, similarly
paid off in gold. He then sailed south
and laid off and on for six hours, and
met two stoutly built fishing
pirogues into which with his crew he
transferred his plumber and then sank
the San Pedro, taking pains to arrange

terial would float

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 a vast
room almost circular and with q vault
ed roof. Its superficial area was at
least three acres and Laport could not

was the guest of honor. The fact that
the guest warned his hosts that the
American people were lowering the

much to let foreign trade in, as to let
their own trade out and to get access
to the markets of the world. is some
thing that the Mckinley brethren en-

what we want, democrats or re-
publicans, is plenty of work and
wages" These were the words of
Gov. Mckinley at Indianapolis, and
the little Napoleon must be credited
with having in these few words made
q better democratic speech than any
other man of national repute has yet
offered to the listening people OF the
country. The common verdict will be
that even the eloquent ana logical eff
fort of Senator Voorhees,, which briefly
preceded that of the Ohio governor, was
a weaker appeal for the principles of
democracy than was that embodied in
the single sentence above quoted. 1t
is the concise statement OF a great and
impressive truth.
When the repu blican party found its
way back to power in 1890, there was
plenty of work and wages were good.
The re was an abundance of money in
the United States treasury; business
was fourishing and general prosperi-
ty pervaded the affairs of the country.
But Immediately afterward the Nc
kinney bill became law and the in
evitable results of its practical opera
tions manifested themselves in a ret
rograde movement all along the line.
Business was Frustrated and the de-
pressing effect extended to every
branch Of industry. The contents of
the treasury were dissipated in extrav-
agance, and popular Indignation
showed itself by restoring democracy
to power in 1892.
As the direct result of this move
ment the Ubiquitous Mckinley laws
were repealed, despite the power of
centralized wealth to uphold them.
and at once the revival of all our ma
terial interests set in. Idle factories,
mills and furnaces started up. Bust
ness is revived. The evils springing
from pernicious legislation have been
largely overcome. The conditions
which afford plenty of work and
wages are restored. They were
brought about despite the most siren
nous efforts of republican statesman

The New Wool Tariff Alone Makes IN An

If the benefits of taking the duties
off wool are as great as the advocates
of free raw materials, with moderate
duties on manufactured goods, expect
them to be, we shall not have to wait
long for free coal and free iron ore.
We think it well to call attention to
the actual prospective results of the
change in the duties on wool and
wooden goods. During the year end

which were collected duties to the
amount of s., 150, 453. 40. The duties
which have been abolished varied
from 10 cents per pound to SO cents
per pound. and there were no less than
fourteen different rates applying to
