THE CAfIAlN . SIAlEhENI
The bark heeled to a damp gust OF
the night breeze as the second mate, in
a voice, low with agitation, spoke. Mr..
| Matthews did not rightly catch his
meaning. The man repeated his words.
"All the small arms stolen out Of
the chest?'' exclaimed Mr.. Matthews,
~stiffening his leaning figure and peer
ing hard at Poole by the windy star
light. "How long have they been gomez
"I've only just discovered the theft, u
answered the second mate.
"This must be reported to the cap
tain at once" said Mr.. Matthews
keep the deck till / return"
He went below and knocked on the
captains door.
The skipper swung in a cot, and
when the mate told him that MI. Poole
had just discovered that the whole Of
the ships small arms were stolen he
tumbled out of his swing bed on to the
deck in shirt and drawers, as an ape
drops out of a tree when shot.
"Who's done it, sir?" pulled the old
man while he pulled On his brooches
and coat and took down his tall hat, all
in a passion of hurry.
1.-THE ship must be searched for the
things, sir, said the mate.
"Aye, to her dunnage," blew the
skipper. "The small arms stolenl" he
exclaimed, brought to a halt by an in
stant's shock of sheer incredulity.
"Why, this looks like a plan, don't it?
A conspiracy, hey, sir9 Forward or aft?
Softly, SIR"
he opened the door, and they stepped
out lightly.
"Send Mr.. Poole here, said old Ben
son in q whisper like a saw, and he
went straight to the second mates cab
in. He entered it without ceremony. A
little lamp screwed to the bulkhead
was burning. The Id of the arms chest
lay open, and the skipper had no need
to look twice to see that it was empty.
While he was gaping at it Mr.. Poole
arrived.
whats the meaning of this, sir?'
said the captain. pointing to the chest.
81 have no idea, SIR" answered the
second mate, who was pale and seemed
alarmed.
"You have the key of this chest, sir.
Where is it?"
The second mate opened a locker and
took out a key. Here it is, sir, just as
/ placed it-just as it's lain from the
beginning. The persons who've stolen
the arms did not want my key. The
locks been forced"
when did you make this discovery,
sirH'' the captain said, casting his little
eyes about.
Just now, sir; Don after the chief
officer relieved me-"
"What made you examine the box
just now?"
1.-THE questions you putto me on deck,
sir"
LET me see the list of the small
arms"

Now 10 was that ola benson, AFTER
taking a view of the compass and send
ing a searching look aloft and to wind
ward and after grufiy delivering a
sentence or two of instructions to Mr..
Poole, went below to get some rest, but
no man could tell at what hour this old
skipper would reappear, for he was mys-
terious as q spectaI in his tricks of
emergence. Often it happened that with
in ten minutes of the old dogs having
gone below for the night the mate Of
the watch, Longing at Sbe rail, relieved
of the tyranny OF that bowlegged pres
ence, would look aft ard start on be-
holding, walking close beside the wheel,
the shadowy but familiar figure in a
tall hat and long coat.
Midnight was struck on the bell. A
hoarse voice bawled down through the
fore scuttle: Eight bells below there.
D'you hear the news?" The wheel was
relieved, and the chief officer, with his
eyes full of sleep, came up the weather
poop steps and talked for a few minutes
to Mr.. Poole, who then went to his
cabin.
The moon was far astern ON the quar-
ter, sinking, and the burning light of
the whaler gone long since.
Clouds of fleece few across the stars,
which shook in splendor, and the bark
strained as she drove the brine into re-
coiling flashes. But the breeze had
headed her; they had braced up in that
first watch, and the ship was off her
course.
Scarcely 30 minutes had elapsed
since the watch was relieved when Mr..
Matthews, who soberly paced the wealth
er side Of the poop, was surprised by
observing the second mate gliding with
great rapidity across the deck from the
lee poop ladder. Matthews came to a
stand. Mr.. Poole exclaimed, breathing
fast:
"What do you thinkf The arms chest
in my cabin has been forced and the
whole of the weapons stolen"

Chronic catarrh often makes its ap-
proach in disguise. Before a person
knows it he may become victim of
chronic catarrh. Its onset may be
gradual, its development insidious,
and at last the victim finds himself in
the clutches of a tenacious disease. A
slight cold, tendency to sneeze, a
puffiness in the nose and head, ,fullness
or cracking in the ears, stringy mucus
in the throat, slight cough or wheez1-
ness, snoring during sleep, any one of
these symptoms should be regarded
as warning. What can be cured in
the beginning in week or two by
using Pe-ru-na, if allowed to become
chronic msy require months of faith
full treatment. You had better take
Pe-ru-na now, for by and by you may
be obliged to take it long time in
order to get well. Pe-ru-na is the
remedy for catarrh. Almost every
body knows that by hearsay and
thousands know it by blessed expert
ence.
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, of Columbus, Ohio, are
sending DR.. Hartman's fastest book
on chronic catarrh and climatic dis
eases of winter free of charge-64
pages instructively illustrated.

Your Present Need

Is pure, rich blood and a strong and
healthy body, because with the ap-
proach of spring and the beginning of
warmer weather your physical system
will undergo radical changes. All the
impurities which have accumulated
during colder weather must be ex-
PEELED or serious consequences will
result. The one true blood purifier
prominently in the public eye to-day
is Hoods Sarsaparilia. It's record of
cures is unequaiied. Its sales are the
largest in the world. A few bottles of
Hoods Sarsaparilla will prepare you
for spring by purifying and enriching
your blood and toning and invigorat-
