EXERCISE A NECESSITY.

SYNOPSIS.
In November, 1894, the storeships Reso-
tuition (Mr. John Locke, master), and Sala-
mander (Mr. William Irish, MASTERY, are
preparing to leave the harbor of Port jack
son, a convict settlement of New South
Wales Some of the convicts having been
missed, a sergeant is sent aboard the Res
olution and makes an unsuccessful search.
The master. Locke, tells the sergeant that
the convicts are on the Salamander. The
sergeant rows over to the latter boat whose
master, Irish, is highly incensed at Locke s
statement. Just then the Resolution gets
under weigh, and the sergeant pulls back
to her. Locke refuses to stop. and the
sergeant, who has boarded the vessel, with
difficulty recalls his boat and gets ashore.
Meanwhile Locke sails away with a wom-
an convict, a Mrs. Morgan, with whom he
has become infatuated, ahd five male con-
victs. Also, he has on board the daughter
of his first mate. Barker. She has been
transported to Port jackson for some slight
offence, and 1t was In arranging for her
escape that Locke has become entangled
with the Morgan woman. Locke and Mrs.
Morgan are worried about the presence of
the other convicts, and evolve a plan to
leave them on a group OF coral islands in
habited by South Sea natives. They put
Barker, his daughter and the five convicts
ashore In a boat. having made the crew
believe that Barker and the convicts were
planning to seize the ship.

CHAPTER III.
MR.. IRISH GETS SQUARE WITH
HIS ENEMIES.
In the month of December, in a year
early in the present century. Mr.. William
Irish, once master Of the Salamander, but
at this period retired from the sea and
proprietor of a highly-respectable tavern
in the East End Of London. was surprised
in his inn parlor by visit from little
man. shabbily dressed and looking blue
with the cold, for he had no overcoat and
was but thinly clad.
"You don't remember me, SIR" said tho
little man, suddenly stepping into the
room from the bar and standing in front
of Mr.. Irish. who was sitting in an arm
chair. doing in front of the fire.

"My name is Blackburn smiled the
little man. affably. II was surgeon of the
Resolution when Locke took those con-
victs away"

The captain of the Macedonian took of
his hat and for a minute or so stood in si-

ing afternoon sun sent long arrow-like
shafts of light through the plumed and
silent groves of palm trees, and the throb-

and fell in soft and murmuring cadence.

That was Taranoas story and Captain
Warren listened to it with the keenest in

the place where the old white man and his
daughter are buried,' resumed Taranoa.
after the woman had been dead a year
another ship came. She was brig, and
her captain was big tall man. He and
my father made friends and the captain
said he had come to search for the old
man and his daughter. Then my father
told him all that had been done and
showed him the place where they were
buried. Come with me and I will show
you."
Entering a canoe with the chief and four
natives the captain of the Macedonian an
hour later was landed on the north island.
A short walk through the groves OF
palms brought them to a cleared spot in
the centre of the narrow island. A little
to the right hand side were two grassy
mounds close together, and to Captain War
rens surprise at the head he saw wealth
er beaten headboard with an inscription
painted on it in English. Over the head
board was a small shed, matched with
pandanus leaves, evidently built by ma

the fierce rays of tropic sun.

IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN

For whom you would provide, the surest way
to do it is to purchase vacant ground on the out

considerable tract. You can generally buy such
property on terms that not very eXacting and
you can provide for those you love without much
sacrifice or effort After making such purchase
let it lie until those for whom it was intended

cost but few hundred dollars. When it is real

~Of course, it takes judgment to know where to
buy. If you wish we will advise you, as we'll as
we know, and, we may say, without false modesty,
that we know some little about real estate
DO YOU BELIEVE
That you will never be burned out? The

attend to it for you NOW.
A CHANGE is COMING,
Not only in the administration, but in the
condition of the market 1t is our opinion at
Immediately after the election prices of real es-

will improve, the money stringency become
laxed and prices will go up. We will not, ac-
cording to our opinion have boom, but we will
have healthy, gradual Improvement, which will
continue at least for four years. Work will be-

occupy home by themselves and the vacant

give the real estate market. Now, then, instead
of following others like sheep, and buy On ris-

WE OFTEN WONDER

How some people become rich. They have
never received very high salaries. They have
never been engaged in business especially lucra-
tive, yet we behold them gradually rising above
the mass of their acquaintances to position of
opulence. Now there is a which has pro-
duced this effect. We know that they are honest,
hence feel assured that they do not steal their
wealth. How, then did they get it? Some of
them got it in this wise: They made it point to
little each week or each month. AS fast
as they had couple of hundred dollars in bank
they looked for bargains in improved property,
bought it, made the property purchased help to
pay for itself, and then repeated the operation
frequently possible. You can do this. The
opportunity is present now, and if you want ex-
pert advice. free of charge, to guide you in the
matter step in at THE TINES Real Estate Bureau
and you get it. -
