without q judicial system. and the School City
has its Judges on the bench aud trials by jury.
The recent experiment demonstrated the fact
that one of the Judges, who was girl ruled

The Principals of the several New York

PART II.

Capt. Raynor could speak the Chinese
language like a natiye, and the CONVEX
estion between him and Wong-Lee was
held in that tongue.
II am sorry to trouble you," began
the pirate, as the captain advanced,
.'but / have lost my mate and three
men. Last night at midnight we heard
come one hail from the water, and a
boat was lowered TO the rescue. A sud-
den squall came up and the junk was
driven away 1 think the boat must
have been picked up when daylight
aamc."
"He lies, of course" said Capt. Ray
nor to me as he interpreted the state
ment, "but we must appear to swallow
him whole"
Then turning 10 Wong-Lee he ex-
pressed his regrets at the loss of the
men and his hopes that they had been
picked up. We hadn't seen anything
OF them, but other crafts were sailing
10 and fro. We were so short-handed
and the men were so busy that poor
lookout had been kept. He compli-
mentcd the man on the speed of his
junk and the way she was handled, and
boldly stated that our bark was going
down the Gulf of Siam TO take out car
40 from a wrecked merchantmen. 1t
was plain b. the twinkle in Wong-Lee's
eyes that he didn't believe II, but he was
good dissembler. He expressed Il
curiosity 10 look the ship over. We
knew little his game. but were ready
for it. He had glass of wine in the
cabin and made good use of his eyes, but
not weapon did he see. He entered the
forecastle with the excuse that he want
ed to construct one for the junk, but his
idea was TO discover IL there was a
watch off duty below. He was aboard
for a full half-hour, and his glances
took in every detail, and when he left
re shook hands in cordial way and
was effusive in his thanks He was
bound for the northern Philippines, he
said. and we would probably remain in
sight Of each other ali day.
"The smiling. deceitful cid repro
bate!" growled Captain Raynor, as the
pirate pulled off to his junk. "He came
aboard expecting to find his cut-throat
crew ON deck, and he'd have had posses
sion In ten minutes. Sharp as he is
we've deceived him as TO numbers and
that we are armed. He'll follow us
all day and then try to board us at
night"
The junk LET US get long start OF her

look at her with the glass before we
swung our yards, and while could not
make out any portfolios for guns, that
fact did not count in our favor. she
would probably have fifty OF sixty men
aboard. with muskets, cutlasses and
rtink-pots, and if she once got along
side we should have our work cut out
for us. The Celestials met with in Amer

argues that the Cinnamon at home, and
especially the mariners, won't fight and
fight desperately knows little about
them. That same WongLee once at

eighteen guns and two hundred men,
nd though he had only seventy men
behind him, he came near making her
prize. We should have been a foolish

little doubt that they also lay dead on
the deck. We were thus reduced to
rine men, and while we were cooped
up in the cabin the pirates had posses
sion Of the decks. We expected them
10 make a rush at the doors, but no
such movement came. They first cleared
the decks of the dead, heaving each body
INTO the sea, and then we felt the junk
working her way ahead until clear of
us. No shots were fired at us, and for
a moment we were puzzled to know
what the fellows were at. Then we sud-
denly felt the bark heel TO a breeze, fol-
lowed by a jerk and tug, and Captain
Raynor growled out:
They've got our tow rope aboard the
junk. prize crew on board here, and we
are bound for old Wong-Lee's headquar-
ters! by daylight he'll have us among
The islands TO the west, and we might as
well say good-by TO each other right
now!"
We had all plain sail on the bark, and
the pirate in charge appeared to know
now to handle her, but the junk sailed
the faster and kept the tow-rope taut.
We could hear the fellows moving about
on deck, and, though they made no ef-
fort 10 get at us, we were in state of
expectancy every moment till daylight
nnally broke.
