There was big, coarse.voiced fellow, with
red face, superiority of beef ali out his head
and an Unsuitable desire to hear himself talk
shop the other day. He was fashily dressed
and seemed aggrieved that every man EN-.
ployed in the place did not rush to help him
get ready for the chair. He had assistance
IN having himself brought down to the condi-
ton TOR being shaved, declining to handle
anything from his hat to his collar and neck
tie.
While being !athered and shaved he told
bolsterously and profanely about the de-
generacy of the times. Men who had to earn
their living didn't know their places ,and
acted as though they were Just as good as
those who hired them. The greatest mis-
take this country had ever made was when
It did away with slavery instead of extend
ing 1t to every state and territory in the
union.
After he had insisted upon half dozen
additions and extra touches from the knight
OF the strop the big man stepped from the
chair and produced a fat pocketbook, while
still holding forth in his offensive vein.

unheralded cyclone of destruction, but he

when Or. Aver announced his sarsapa.
Iilla to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such q remedy
was what they had looked for. and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and

and diseases Of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition Of the blood Experience
has proved 1t to be a specific in such
diseases and sores Of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism. and many
other like forms Of disease have yielded to
the persevering use Of DR.. Ayers Sarsapar-

PART I.
CHAPTER IIl.-CoNT1NuED.

The poor captain raised his eyes, and
at one look the rum went out of him,
and left him staring sober. The express
sion of his face was not so much of ter
ror as of mortal sickness. He made a
movement to rise, but do not believe
he had enough force left in his body.
''Now. Bill. sit where you are" said
the beggar. IF l can't see, I can hear a
finger stirring. Business is business.
Hold out your left hand. Boy, take his
left hand by the wrist. and bring it
near my right"
We both obeyed him to- the letter, and
I saw him pass something from the
hollow of the hand that held his stick
into the palm of the captains. which
closed upon it instantly.
''And now that's DONE" said the blind
man; and at the words he suddenly
left hold of me, and, with incredible
accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out
of the parlor and into the road, where,
as stood motionless, could hear his
stick 60 tap-tap-tapping into the dis
lance.
IL was SOLuc tlulc Uc1Olc cltuC1 VI
thecaptain seemed to gather our senses;
but at length, and about the same mo-
ment, I released his wrist, which was
still holding, and he drew in his hand,
and looked sharply into the palm.
"Ten o'clock" he cried. "Six hours.
Well do them yet" and he sprung to his
feet.
Even as he did so, he reeled, put his
hand to his throat, stood swaying for
a moment, and then, with a peculiar
sound, fell from his whole height face
foremost to the floor.
I ran to him at once, calling my
mother. But haste was all in vain.
The captain had been struck dead by
laundering apoplexy. 1t is curious
thing to understand, for had certain
ly never liked the man, though of late
had begun to pity him, but as soon
as saw that he was dead, burst into
a flood of tears. 1t was the second
death I had known, and the sorrow of
the first was still fresh in my heart.

My heart was beating tiercely when
we two set forth in the cold night upon
this dangerous venture. A full moon
was beginning to rise and peered red
ly through the upper edges of the fog,
and this increased our haste, for it
was plain, before we came forth again,
that all would be bright as day, and
our departure exposed to the eyes of
any watchers. We slipped along the
hedges, noiseless and swift, nor did we
see or hear anything to increase our
terrors, till, to our huge relief, the door
of the Admiral Benbow had closed be-
hind us.
I slipped the bolt at once, and we
stood and painted for moment in the
dark, alone in the house with the dead
captains body. Then my mother got a
candle in the bar, and, holding each
others hands, we advanced into the
parlor. He lay as we had left him, on
his back, with his eyes open, and one
arm stretched out.
"Draw down the blind, JIM" whis-
pered my mother; 'they might come
and watch outside. And now," said
she, when had done so, tive have to
get the key off that; and who's to touch
it, should like to know" and she gave
kind of sob as she said the words.
I went down on my knees at once.
On the floor close to his hand there was
a little round of paper, bleckened on
the one side. I could not doubt that
this was the black spot; and, taking it
up, found written on the other side,
in very good, clear hand, this short
message: "You have till ten tonight. .
"He had till ten, mother" said L; and,
just as I said it, our old clock began
striking. This sudden noise startled US
shockingly; but the news was good.
for it was only six.
"Now, JIM" she said, shat key"
I felt in his pockets, one after an
other. A few small coins, a thimble
and some thread and big needles, a
piece of pigtail tobacco bitten away at
the end, his gully with the crooked
handle, a pocket compass and finder
box, were all that they contained, and
began to despair.
perhaps it's round his neck" sug-
gested my mother.
| Overcoming strong repugnance, I
tore open his shirt at the neck, and

little low whistle sounded good way
off among the hills. That was enough,
and more than enough, for both of us.
IN take what I have" she said,
jumping to her feet.
"And I'll take this to square tho
count" said I. picking up the oilskin
packet.
Next moment we were both crop
ing downstairs, leaving the candle by
the empty chest; and the next we had
opened the door and were in full re-
treat. We had not started moment
too soon. The fog was rapidly dis
persing; already the moon shone quite
clear on the high ground on either side;
and it was only in the exact bottom of
the dell and round the cabin door that
a thin veil still hung unbroken to con-
ceal the first steps of our escape. Far
less than halfway to the hamlet, very
little beyond the bottom of the hill, we
must come forth into the moonlight.
Nor was this all; for the sound of sew
eral footsteps running came already
to our ears, and as we looked back in
their direction, light tossing to and
fro, and still rapidly advancing, showed
that one of the newcomers carried a
lantern.
"My DEAR" said my mother, sudden
ly, "tako the money and run on. am
going to faint"
This was certainly the end of both
of us, I thought. How cursed the
cowardice of the neighbors; how I
blamed my poor mother for her honesty
and her greed, for her past foolhardi-
ness and present weakness! We were
just at the little bridge, by good for
tune; and helped her, lettering as she
was, to the edge of the bank, where,
sure enough, she gave sigh and fell
on my shoulder. I do not know how
I found the strength to do it at all, and
I am afraid it was roughly done, but
managed to drag her down the bank
and little way under the arch. Fur
Their I could not move her, for the
the bridge was too low to let me do
more than crawl below it. So there
we had to stay-my mother almost en-
tirely exposed, and both of us within
| earshot of the inn.

More than One-half the total number OF
immigrants into the United States are
coming from Austria hungary, Italy,
Poland and Russia. While official sta
tistics are not available, yet careful in
vestigation leads to the belief that per-
haps so or 60 per cent. of arrivals from
the countries mentioned have had no
regular occupation, while possibly 30
per cent. may have been servants or
laborers. Five years ago Rev. Mr.. Maui
jerie, himself an italian, in company
with the writer made tour of observa-
ton through the Lehigh region OF
Pennsylvania, and stated that in his
opinion the Italians working there were
about three centuries behind Americans
in their standards of living-that is, in
their ideas as to food, clothing, shelter,
wages, work and general intelligence.
Since that time there has been no i'm
provement in the class of immigrants
arriving at our ports.-Henry Edward
Rood, in Cent fury.
