The three prisoners soon began to
work. The sounds that rose about them
showed that most of the men were sleep
ing. They whispered together, and
then Simon began to use the bottles that
Nancy had given.
The sounds of the sleeping guards be-
came louder, and soon it was manifest
ed that all but the sentinels of the three
prisoners had forgotten the hard march
of the day, and were sound asleep.
"Will you please get me drink Of

The sentinel grumbled, but went for
the water, and held out the gourd as he
returned. With one quick blow Simon
knocked the gourd from his hand, and
the water splashed over the gun and
into the face of the astonished tory.
Instantly Peter and John were by his
side, and the sentinel was secured and
gagged.
Then the three men hastily secured
the guns. but, though their efforts were
not heard by the drunken tories, the
prisoners in the other room had heard,
and were leaping out of the window
into the yard. The outside sentinel was
aroused, and fired. but the noise of the
report only served to awaken the drunk
en- men in the hall and quickent the pace
of the escaping prisoners. f

Simon, quickly, leaving the hall and pre-
senting his gun before the soldier could
reload. - ~ - 4
The dazed tories meanwhile had been

guns and facing the barrels of their own
muskets. In a few moments the three
resolute men completed their work, had

Taranaki, New Zealand. A party of
climbers ascended the topmost rock of
the sleeping giant, planted thereupon
nine-foot pole and hauled aloft the
union jack. A fortnight later another
party, prepared to shin up the pole and
so claim a six-foot higher record than
the first, assembled and found that the
flag had frozen while blowing to the
breezes. There it was imbeded in four

John thrust one of the bottles into

their places in the ranks. The march
was at once resumed, but the lines of
the guard were very uneven now, and
the murmurs had given place to shouts
and songs.

The sound Of bugle could be heard

doubtless the approaching men were
redcoats, and their coming meant the
downfall of all their,hopes. Faust, too,
had heard the sound, and realized that
he was in no fit condition to be seen by

The transfer had hardly been made
and the men formed in line by the road
side before Col. Cruger's band Of red
coats, escorting supplies and reinforce
ments for the upper stations, appeared
in the road.
"Present arms!" called Capt. Peter,
and the men, who were too stupid to
perceive the change in officers, obeyed,
and also carried out his order to salute
the newcomers.
'Who's in command of these men,
and what are they?" inquired Col. Cru
ger, as he drew rein on his horse
''Capt. Faust's in command" replied
Peter, saluting, 'and these fellows are
prisoners for Charleston"
"Good place for them," replied the
colonel. "You'd better hurry on,
though, for if night overtakes you in the
woods the men may get away"
"Well hurry" replied Peter, watch
ing the colonel as he and his men passed
on. Then Peter restored the sword and
belongings to Capt. Faust, and the
march was resumed, though the lines Of
the guard were still unsteady, and the
men plainly were almost overcome.
''Their guns amt drunk" whispered
Simon, shaking his head in reply to
Peters suggestion that they should
start and run into the woods, and the
three prisoners kept on with the others.
Night overlook them in the woods,

ON JOINING THE NAVY.
Advantages and Disadvantages Of q
Naval Career as Viewed
by an Omcial.

Apropos the enlistment of such great
numbers of the young men Of the coun-
try in the navy, prominent naval Off
cial of this city was asked the other day
what he thought of naval career. His
remarks were most interesting and
they appeal especially to those who are
considering the advisability of putting
in the best years of their life on Uncle
Sans battleships. -
''The opinion of society in general
about a naval career is not worth the
least consideration, for the money
standard is too generally used," said
the officer. 'And for that same reason
the opinion of society on what consti-
tutes worthy and useful career is of
no greater value. The navy never prom
ised financial prosperity and never will.
Various considerations must appeal to
him who would fain enter the navy.
Personal fitness is one and his idea OF
what will bring him happiness and con-
tentment is another. Then he must
figure on what advantages and disad.
vantages there are in it for him.
I'm one point the navy is perhaps diff
ferent from all other callings, at least
those of private nature. Promotion
is dependent upon length of service
In nearly every other calling in the
world merit often advances employees
beyond those older in the service. OF
course, this popularity in the navy ia
the reverse of an incentive to energetic
and active work, but to me it seems that
this deficiency is more than compen>
sated in the development of the senti
ment of duty.
''This atmosphere of duty constantly
surrounds every man in the navy. 1t
strengthens individual character and
adds to individual happiness. The spirit
of rivalry and competition is absent
and there is no jealousy or disappoint-
ment, and the little petty troubles re.
sulting from them are not in existence.
At tsuch times as the present the life on
the sea fascinates the adventurous, but
in times of peace there is not so much
fascination. Even in peaceful times,
however, one must remember the long
absences from home and friends. So,
after all, the young man who thinks of
joining the navy must decide for him
self whether or not the gains are COM
