before them with a will.

the voice of the captain piping in the
chorus. But soon the anchor was short

PAMELA" had begun her voyage to the
Isle of Treasure.
l am not going to relate the voy-
age in detail. 1t was fairly prosperous.
The ship proved to be good ship, the
crew were capable seamen, and the
captain thoroughly understood his
business. But before we came the
length of Treasure Island, two or three
things had happened which require to
be known.
Mr.. Arrow, first of all, turned out
even worse than the captain had feared.
He had no command among the men,
and people did what they pleased with
him. But that was by no means the
worst of it; for after day or two at
sea he began to appear on deck with
hazy eye, red cheeks, suffering tongue,
and other marks of drunkenness. Time
after time he was ordered below in dis
grace. Sometimes he fell and cut him
self; sometimes he lay all day long
in his little bunk at one side of the
companion; sometimes for day or
two he would be almost sober and at
tend to his work at least passably.
In the meantime, we could never
make out where he got the drink. That
was the ships mystery. Watch him as
we pleased, we could do nothing to solve
it; and when we asked him to his face,
he would only laugh, if he were drunk,
and if he were sober, deny solemnly
that he ever tasted anything but
water.
He was not only uselessas an officer,
and bad influence amongst the men,
but it was plain that at this rate he
must soon kill himself outright; so
nobody was much surprised, nor very
sorry, when one dark night, with a
head sea, he disappeared entirely and
! was seen no more.
"Overboard!" said the captain. "Well,
gentlemen, that saves the trouble of
putting him in irons"

JUDGE DOOLlTTLE'S JOKE.
It Put Senator Fessenden in a bad
Position.
fro BE CONTINUED

The old senator was a great story
teller and related many interesting and
humorous accounts of what he had seen
in public life. One of his favorite
stories was at the expense Of Senator
Fessenden, warm personal friend.
The Judge and Senator Fessenden had
been appointed on a commission with
several others to treat with the various
chiefs of the Sioux nation on an impor
tant Indian question of the day. 1t was
long before railways had been intro
duced into the far west, and the mem
bers of the commission had to travel on.
horseback. Judge Doelittle was chair
man of the commission, but at the con-
ference shifted that duty to the shoul-
ders of Senator Fessenden. The latter
was highly pleased at the honor con-
ferred on him and much ''puffed up in
consequence. The judge had method
in his madness, however, for he had
heard of the peculiar reception ten
dered by the Indians to the spokesman
of any party of visiting whites.
At the appointed time the two par
ties to the conference congregated
There were probably 200 Indian chiefs
present with their wives. Senator Fes-
sender advanced to do the honors for
the commissioners, when to his <Gsmay

all-advanced. and, after embracing the
chairman, gave him, according to their
custom, welcoming kiss. Judge Doo-
little often said he thought that Fes-
sender never quite forgave him for the
trick.-Boston Herald.

Gratis are concerned, Bynum is the
only man of them who has got any
thing out of the organization, and
now that the ship is sinking, like a
wise old rat, he deserts the rotten
hulk.
His course of conduct indicates
that what he really desired was to
split the party he pretended to serve,
and, by his own confession, having
failed in that, he now deserts democ-
racy entirely and proposes to fight
under the banner of the republicans.
In an interview given out at In
dianapolis Bynum said he believed
the silver men would reiterate the
Chicago platform and renominate
Bryan in 1900 unless they receive a
crushing defeat this fall, and the
only way to defeat them is for sound
money democrats to support the re-
publican tickets. The gold standard
men were not willing to do that and
he resigned.
Here is the confession of his failure
to influence the gold democrats to
turn traitors and the shameless proc
lamation of his own treason.
Who ia Bynum that he should die
tate disloyal conduct to the gold
democrats? A discredited congress-
man, financial faker from Indian
apolis-that financial center of the
UNIVERSE man who was democrat
for revenue only and who deserted
the faction he represented as soon
as the appropriation gave out.
This man has failed to accomplish
his traitorous designs. He could not
induce the gold democrats to declare
war on their old associates in the
democratic party, and, seeing a large
per cent of the gold democrats re-
turning to the great national organi.
cation, he now throws off the mask
and takes up republican arms to fight
his former friends.
No one will regret the passing OF
Bynum. He has gone like Judas to
his own place and can work no
further evil to the party he pretended
to serve. Chicago Dispatch.

the blue flowers of the patch of borage,
beyond which de Gomeron was await
ing me. When came up found him
standing with his back to the moon.
He had thrown off his doublet and was
in his shirt sleeves, which were rolled
up to his elbows, and Nicholas and the
men stood little on one side, utterly
forgetful of the prisoners, and eager as
bloodhounds to witness the coming
fight. 1t took but half minute
to make myself ready, and borrowing
poniard from Nicholas to help me to
parry, took my position. Then there
was an angry little clash and our blades
met, looking for all the world like two
thin streaks Of fire in the moonlight.
we were both sober enough now, be-
sides being in deadly earnest, and de
Gomeron began to change tactics and
attack in his turn. AT this point cloud
obscured the moonlight, and my op-
ponent, springing back, called out:
Hold! hold till the cloud passes! We
cannot see."
"But / can, messieurs," answered q
deep voice to our right. "What means

her companion as if for protection.
De Gomeron observed this, and laughed
under his heavy black mustache.
Madame, but there are some things
which have no price! And there is no
tempt Adam de Gomeron to part with
his prisoners-with one of them at any
rate. You are no spy, know; such
eyes as yours were never made to count
the strength of battalions. AS for your
friend there, we have means to make
him tell about himself tomorrow; and
you must not bruise your tender feet
by walking through the night to the
camp of monsieur--the king of France.
In day or SO, perhaps" he went on
with q horrible smile, 'but not tonight.
Comel" and he stepped up to her.
Come, taste the d'Arbois-it is from
your friends-and learn to love the poor
soldiers of the Holy league"
+. Saying this he attempted to pass his
arm round her waist, but, slipping from
his grasp, and her cheeks afame,
madame struck him across the face
with the back of her hand.
The rest was done in flash, and de
Gomeron reeled back with bleeding
lips. 1t was in me to follow up my
blow by passing my sword through the
man, SO mad was l in my fury; but
luckily for him Nicholas hung on my
arm and saved the Villains life. He
righted himself at once, and passing his
hand across his mouth, spoke to me
quite coolly and collectedly, but with
liyid features:
1--WE finish this outside, sir; follow
me-" and picking up his rapier, which
lay on the table, where he had thrown II
on the entrance of the prisoners, de
Gomeron stepped out of the door. In
the excitement of the moment the men
poured after him, and was the last tc

that the prisoners were unguarded, and
slipping my dagger from its sheath, as
I went out, thrust its haft into
madame's hand, and I saw that she un
derstood from the thanks in her eyes
1t was but a stone throw to the
stretch of green, which extended a:
level as tennis court for hundred
PAGES or so, and then sloped gently
downward towards the junction of The
Serre and the Disc. Beyond rose the
walls of La Fere, whose gray outlines
lit up here and there by the flare of 6

light, that could distinctly make ou

Bynum Steps Down.

At last w. D. Bynum, the "old man
of the sea" of the gold democratic
party, has been shaken from the neck
of that long-suffering organization.
Acting as chairman of the national
committee of the gold democratic
party, Bynum has had a good thing
and he has not failed to make the
most of it. With salary of robust
size and a balance in the party treas
ury of $4,000 after the ending of the
campaign of 1896. Bynum moved to
New York and opened a law office in
Wall street.
There is $4,000 left of the $4,000.
Bynum has sucked the orange about
dry and has now resigned an office
that has no more money in it and not
the least possibility of political sue
cess or preferment.
So far as the gold-advocating demo.
