squalls when YOU find it," and you will
readily believe how little taste found
in my breakfast. and with how uneasy
heart / set forth behind my captors
on the quest for treasure.
We made curious figure Lad
anyone been there to see rs; all in
sofed sailor clothes, and all but me
armed to the teeth. Silver had two
guns slung about him. one before and
one behind-besides the great cutlass
al his waist. and pistol in each peck
ct of his square-tailed coat. To complete
his strange appearance. Capt Flint sat
perchcd upon his shoulder and gabbled
odds and ends of purposeless sea-talk
| had a line about my waist, and fol-
lowed obedientls after the sea-cook
who held the loose end of the rope, now
in his free hand. now between his pow
crfIl teeth. For all the world was led
like a dancing bear.
The other men were variously bur
dencd, some carrying picks and sshov-
els-for that had been the very first
necessary they brought ashore from
the "Ilispaniola"-othe laden with
pork. bread and brandy for the midday
meal. All the stores. | observed. came
! from our stock; and could see the
truth of Silrer's words the night before
| Had he not struck bargain with the
| doctor he and his nutineers, deserted
by the ship. must have been driven to
subsist on clear water, and the proceeds
of their hunting. Water would have
been little TO their taste; sailor is not
usually a good shrt; and besides all
that, when they were so short of eat
ables. ii was not likely they would be
very flush of powder.
Well. thus equipped, we all set out

who should certainly have kept in shad-
ow-and struggled. one after another.
TO the beach, where the two gigs await
ed us. Even these bore trace of the
drunken folly of the pirates. one in n
broken thwart. and both in their mud
died, unbailed condition. Both were to
be carried along with us, for the sake of
safety; and so. with our numbers d.
vided between them, we set forth upon
the bosom of the anchorage.
As we pulled over there was some
discussion on the chart The red cross
was, of course, far too large to be n
guide; and the terms of the note on the
back, as you will hear, admitted of
some ambiguity. They ran, the reader
may remember. thus:

A tall tree was thus the principal
mark. Now, right before us, the an
chorage was bounded by plateau from
two TO three hundred feet high, adjoin-
ing on the north the sloping southern
shoulder of the Spy-glass, and rising
again toward the south into the rough,
cliffy eminence called the Mizzen-mast
Hill. The top OF, the plateau was dotted
thickly with pine trees of varying
height. Every here and there, one Of a

When Sir Christopher Wren Yves

fidgety member of the corporation--ao
the story goes-insisted that the ROOT
required further support, and desired
the architect TO add more pillars. In
vain did Sir Christopher assure him
that the danger was imag1nary-he
knew better. The alarm spread, and
the great architect was worried into
adding the desired columns. Years
passed, and in later times, when archi-
tect and patron were dead. cleaning
operations in the roof revealed the fact
that the supposed additional supports
did not touch the roof by two inches,
though this was not perceptfble 10 any
one below. BY this ingenious expedient
did Sir Christopher pacify his critics.

It's q wonderful world we're m. my dear.
A wonderful world. they say,
And blest they be who may wander free
Wherever a wish might stray.
Who spread their sails to the arctic gales,
Or bask in the tropics bowers.
While We must keep TO the footpath steep
In this worksdsy life OF ours.
For smooth Is the road for the few. my dear.
And wide are the ways they roam:
Our feet are led where the million tread.
In the worn. old lanes Of home.
And the years may fow for veal or woe.
And the frost may follow the flowers,
Our steps are bound to the selfssme ROUND
In this workadsy life OF ours.
But narrow our path may be. my dear.
And simple the scenes We Nifw.

VIII carry us bravely through.
With happy song we'll trudee along.
And smile In the shine or showers.
And we'll ease the pack on a brothers bach
