effect. Here the treatment should be

chairs and sofas will not be out OF

action OF the hulk thaG Ino .~S.-y
OF us all was so intense as to be pain
full. We strained our gaze, as the
captain and his crew drew rapidly
near it.
We saw the distance swiftly decrease
between the two boats until the shad.
owy forms merged into one. And
then followed an Impressive silence
suddenly broken by howl, pistol
shot and scream; and as our hearts
almost stopped beating We saw, mo-
ment later, the boat put of from the
hulk, and the men rowing with all
their might back TO the ship. As
they came nearer we discerned that
the captain was missing.
Backstay Bob dashed toward the
boat and, shaking his fist at the men,
demanded furiously:
'You cowardly dogs! Where is
Captain Luster?"
"The demon has got himp"
Absurd as the reply might have
seemed at any other time, it was ut
tered in solemn earnest, as the ghastly
faces of the crew attested.
In reply to our eager questions,
they said the moment they came along.
side the craft they heard low, hol-
low, unearthly sound, which caused
them to hesitate. The captain climbed
up the side of the vessel, descended
the hatchway and disappeared from
view. He was hardly out of sight
when the noise they had heard at first
was repeated, far louder and fiercer.
The next moment the report of the
captains pistol was heard, followed by
terrific shrek, and then all was
still.
Horror.struck, they called loudly
and repeatedly to their commander,
but receiving no answer pulled away
from the ship.
"You're purity set of cowardly
sneaks, amt you, to go and desert
your captain that way, when, like
enough, he needed you to save hislife, :"
exclaimed Backstsy Bob, forgetting in
his fury that the first mate was among
those whom he denounced. 'I'm 60
ing back to that old hulk, and if I
can't get at the demon in g y
way I'll put keg of powder in It and
blow it to blazes!"
"Bob is right, if his excitement does
make him forget his manners" said
the mate. '.It was not my intention
to desert Captain LusSer in trouble.
The men were so frightened that 1
thought it best to come back and get
new set." y
There was some difficulty in procur-
ing the requisite number; and, ac-
cordingly, Prescott and myself were
accepted. As the former went over
the ships side, Florence Harris said:
"Don't come back, Edmund, until
you have heard what has become of
poor Captain Luster."
He gavo her his promise, and a few
minutes later the boat showed off, and
we rapidly neared the hull, which had
acquired such strange interest to us
all.
Prescott, in addition to his revolver,
had small italian dagger, which l
observed him handle as if to assure
himself that it was reliable. Then, as
he replaced it, he remarked to me:
'rphere's no telling what's inside
that mass of lumber, and this may be
the weapon I need, after all"
Arriving at the craft, sitter short
consultation, it was agreed that the
four oarsmen, the mate and myself
should remain behind, while Backstay
Bob and William Prescott should ex-
plore the hulk.

dreadful danger menaced all who en-

an hour, and my cigar had burned al
most to my mouth, while the long
column of ashes was still unbroken,
when something struck my ear like
the sound of bell. It was not until
/ had heard it several times that it
seemed really to affect my senses.
ALI at once gave start, the ashes
dropped upon my bosom, and l arose
to sitting position and gazed around
me.
"Harkl" said I; "didn't you hear
that bell?"
'sJust what I have been trying to
make Edmund believe!' laughed
Florence Harris. SHE persisted in
not believing it.
"Listenl" ] said, raising my hand.
And Immediately there fell death
like silence.
And while thus intently listening,
there came across the sea, faint but
distinct, the soft. distant sound of a
bell. We scarcely breathed for o
minute. The strange, solemn sound
was repeated at regular intervals, as
il swung by the hand of some ez-
hansted sufferer, or tolied by che swell
OF the ocean.
The captain by this time had ep-
proached and stood in the attitude of
attention.

inquiry than that of an assertion.
''No, sir" responded the captain.
"The nearest island is a good 800
miles away, and this doesn't come
from there, I should think"
"What can it be?" asked several in
the same breath.
"The sound comes from that direc-
tion," said Florence Harris, pointing

"Don't think it is," replied the cap.
tain, with shake OF the head.
"What can it be?" asked Florence.
To this no one ventured to reply
for several moments. In the mean
time the tolling OF the bell had be-
come quite distinct, and Adolphus
Fitzgibbon gave q yawn, groan, a
kick. and awoke.
"Aw-yes-aw-I was about to sug-
gest--aw-that the tea-bell should
ring-sw-aw-awi"h he stammered,
confusedly rising to his feet, and
pitching back and forth. Then. see-
ing us all in the attitude OF attention,
he asked, "What-aw-the dooce is
the matter?"
s'It's the Bell of Doom!" exclaimed
Backstay Bob, a tall, SCARED sailor,
from his position at the wheel.
'Pshawl you're childish" replied
the captain. "Whatever it is, we are
rapidly approaching it, for notice how
much louder it sounds.
Such was the case. The bell was
now heard clear and distinct to the
south. and was approaching nearer
every moment. Shortly after, the
captain took his night glass and gazed
long and intently In that direction.
When he lowered it he said:
az can just discover dark body
rising and falling on the waves, but
nothing more. Backstay Bob, you
have got the best eyesight of any one
on board. See what you can make OF
it."
Bob resigned his place at the wheel
TO one of the men and came forward
and took the glass. He held it to his
eye for several minutes without speak
ing, and. to all appearances, without
even breathing, while we waited his
word with the deepest interest.

INSPECTION OF MEATS
Report Of the Board of Health Com.
mittee Will Fully Provide for It

The committee OF the board of health
which has had under consideration the
matter Of the supply Of meats to this
city, will at the next meeting Of the
board file a report which will go into de-
tails on the subject.
The members of this committee have
been quietly making another personal
investigation Of the matter, and in their
report recommendations will be made
to the city council that an ordinance be
passed which will make the sale Of
meats unfit for food almost impossible
and will provide a severe penalty for
Its violation. The disclosures made by
the committee at recent meeting of the
board have been found to be only part
Of the truth and the evil is really worse
than they made it out. The steps that
have been taken to put stop to the
sale of diseased meat have caused some
butchers to be more careful in making
their purchases and also been the means
of the thorough cleaning of some of the
slaughter houses The city council will
cooperate with the board in the matter
and within a few weeks 1t is expected
an additional deputy will be appoint
ed in the health department whose duty
will alone be the inspection Of meats.
