When he came on deck, the men had
begun already to take out the arms and
| powder, yo-ho-ing at their work, while
| the captain and Mr.. Arrow stood by
| experimenting.
The new arrangement was quite to
my liking. The whole schooner had
been overhauled; six berths had been
| made astern, out of what had been the
atterpart of the main hold; and this
set OF cabins was only joined to the
galley and forecastle by spared pas
sage on the port side. 1t had been
originally meant that the captain, Mr..
Arrow, Hunter, Joyce, the doctor, and
the squire were to occupy these six
berths. Now Redruth and 1 were to get
two of them, and Mr.. Arrow and the
captain were to sleep on deck in the
companion, which had been enlarged
on each side till you might almost have
called it a roundhouse. Very low it
was still, of course; but there was
room to swing two hammocks, and even
the mate seemed pleased with the ar
rangement. Even he, perhaps, had
been doubtful as to the crew, but that
is only guess; for, as you shall hear, we
had not long the benefit of his opinion.
We were all hard at work, changing
the powder and the berths, when the
last man or two, and Long John along
with them, came of in shore-boat.
The cook came up the side like "a

CHAPTER VIII.


AT THE SIGN OF THE sPYGLAss.
When l had done breakfasting, the
squire gave me note addressed to John
Silver, at tire sign of the Spyglass, and
told me | should easily find the place
by following the line of the docks, and
keeping bright outlook for little
tavern with a large brass telescope for
a sign. | set off, overjoyed at this OPP
portunity to see some more of the ships
and seamen, and picked my way among
a great crowd of people and carts and
bales, for the dock was now at it's bust
est, until found the tavern in question.
1t was bright enough little place of
entertainment. The sign was newly
painted; the windows had neat red
curtains; the floor was clearly sanded
There was street on either side, and
an open door on both, which made the
large, low room pretty clear to see in
in spite of clouds of tobacco smoke.
The customers were mostly seafar-
ing men; and they talked so loudly
that l hung at the door, almost afraid
to enter.
AS l was waiting, man came out OF
of side room, and at glance, was
sure he must be Long John. His left
leg was cut off close by the hip, and un-
der the left shoulder he carried a
crutch, which he managed with won.
derful dexterity, hopping about upon II
like bird. He was very tall and
strong, with face as big as ham
plain and pale, but intelligent and smil
ing. Indeed, he seemed in the most
cheerful spirits, whistling as he moved
about among the tables, with merry
word or slap on the shoulder for the
most favored of his guests.
Now, to tell you the truth, from the
very first mention of Long John in
Squire Trelawney's letter, l had taken
a fear in my mind that he might prove
to be the very one-legged sailor whom
/ had watched for so long at the old
Benbow. But one look at the man be.
fore me was enough. had seen the
captain, and Black Dog and the blind
man Pew, and thought knew what a
buccaneer was like-a very different
creature, according to me, from this
clean and pleasant-tempered landlord
Iplucked up courage at once, crossed
the threshold, and walked right up tc
the man where he stood, propped Oh
his crutch, talking to customer.
''NIr. Silver, sir?" l asked, holding out
the note.
"Yes, my lad" said he; ''such is my
name, to be sure. And who may you
be?" And when he saw the squirrels
letter, he seemed to me to give some.
thing almost like start.
"Oh!" said he, quite aloud, and offer
ing his hand, 81 see. You are our new
cabin-boy; pleased l am to see you"
And he took my hand in his large
firm grasp.
Just then one of the customers at the
far side rose suddenly and made for the
door. 1t was close by him, and he wa:
out in the street in moment. But his
hurry had attracted my notice, and
recognized him at a glance. Itwas the
tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers
who had come first to the Admiral Ben.

The most critical period in woman's
LIE may be properly called Blossoming
Time. It is the period when she blossoms
from girlhood into womanhood
AT this momentous time the best medi-
cine for woman to take Is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It acts directly up
on the delicate and important organs that
are to bear the burdens of wifehood and
motherhood. 1t makes them strong,
healthy and vigorous. It corrects ali
Irregularities and displacements and stops
exhausting drains. Taken during the pc
Rod of expectant maternity, it banishes
the usual annoyances and makes baby's
coming easy and almost painless. It in
sures the newcomers health and an ample
supply of nourishment. It transforms
weak, sickly, nervous, complaining wo-
men into happy, healthy wives Thou
sands of women have told over their own
signatures, the story of the marvellous
merits of this great medicine. An hon
est dealer will not try to persuade you
to take something different from what YOU
ask for, for the sake of few pennies ad-
ded profit.

Co., Net. writes: 81 was under doctors care
