THE DRAGON OF THE SEAS.

out
To seize the Spanish main;
Reach down the volume, boy, and
read
The story DER again.
How when the Spaniard had the
might,
He drenched the earth, like rain,
With human blood, and made it
death
To sail the Spanish main.
With torch and steel, with stake
and rack,
He trampled out all truce,
Until Queen Bess her leashes
slipt,
And set her sea-dogs loose.
Then! how they sprang! And
how they tore!
The Grenvilles, Hawkins Drake!
Remember, boy, they were your
sires!
They made the Spaniard quake.
They sprang, like lions, for their
prey,
Straight for the throat, amain!
By twos, by scores, where'er they
caught
They fought the ships of Spain.
When Spain, in dark Ulloa's bay,
Broke double plighted faith,
Bold Hawkins fought his way
through fire
For great Elizabeth.
A bitter malt Spain brewed that
day!
She drained it to the lees:
Her faithless guns that morn
awoke
The Dragon of the Seas.
From sea to sea he ravaged far,
A scourge with flaming breath
Where'er the Spaniards sailed his
ships,
Sailed Francis Drake and Death.
No port WAS safe against his ire,
Secure no furthest shore;
The fairest day oft sank in fire
Before the Dragons roar.
He made the Atlantic surges red,
Ronud every Spanish keel;
Piled Spanish decks with Spanish
dead,
The noblest of CASTLE.
From Del Fuego's betting coast
To sleety Heb,iie-
He bounded down the Spanish
host,
And swept the flaming seas.
He fought till on SPANS Utmost
Mid orange bowers set,
La Mauchs's daus hters feared to
Lest they the D,agon met.
King Puiiip, of his raven reft,
AS forfeit claimed bis head;
The great quee laughed his
wrath to scurn,
And knighted Drake instead.
And gave him ships and sent him
forth
To clear the Spanish main
For England and for England's
brood,
And sink the fleets of Spain.
And we'll he wrought his mighty
work,
Till on that fatal day
He met his only conqueror,
In Hombre Dios bay.
There, in his shotted hammock
swung,
Amid the surges' sweep,
He waits the lookout's signal
Across the quiet deep.
And dreams of dark Ulloa's day
And Spanish treachery;
And how he tracked Magellan far
Across the unknown sea.
But if Spain fires single shot
Upon the Spanish main,
She'll come to deem the Dragon
dead
Has walked to life again.

CHAPTER XXXVH.
A Strange Meeting,

1t was approaching the evening Of the
third day after riding forth upon his mis-
sion when Sholto, sleepless, yet quite un-
conscious of weariness, approached the
loch of Carlinwark and the cottage of
Brawny Kim. West and south he had rails
ed the Douglas country as it had never
been raised before. And now behind him
every armiger and squire, every spearman
and Iightfoot archer was fastening Edin-
burghward, eager to be first to succor the
young and headstrong chief of this great
house.
Sholto had ridden and cried the slogan as
was his duty without allowing his mind TO
dwell too much upon whether all might not
come too late. And ever as he rode out of
village or across the desolate moors from
castle or fortified farm house, it seemed
that not he but some other was upon this
quest.
something sterner and harder stirred in
his breast. Light-heart Sholto MacKim,
the careless lad of the jousting day, the
proud young captain of the earfs guard,
was dead with all his vanity, and in his
place man rode southwark grim and de-
termined, with vengeful angers a-smoulder
in his bosom-hunger, thirst, love, the joy
of living and the fear of death all being
swallowed up by deadly hatred of those
who had betrayed his master.
Maud Lindsay was doubtless within few
miles of Sholto, yet he scarcely gave even
his sweetheart thought as he urged his
weary gray over the purple Parton moors
toward the loch of Carlinwark, and the lit
tie hamlet nesting along its western side
under the great ancient thorn trees of the
Carlin's hill
He rode down over the green Crossmi-
chael braes, on which the broom pods were
cracking in the afternoon sunshine,
through holows where the corn fingered as

scene of beauty and find itself mewed in

morning sun ere it fell to rise again DIM
med and red Therefore she checked not
her Steed, nor turned aside. till Sholto Iaid
his hand upon her bride rein and leaped
quickly to the ground with his sword in
his hand, leaving his own beast to wander
where it would. :
What do you ,here?' he cried. Where
is my master? What have they done to
him? bid you tell me on your life
Sholto's voice had no chivairous courtesy
IN 1t now. The time for that had gone by.
He lowered his sword point. and there was
iron in the muscles of his arm. He was
ready to kill the temptress as he would a
beautiful viper. u
The Lady Sybil1a looked upon him and
In dazed fashion. like one who rests be-
tween the turns of the rack. In a little
while she appeared to recognize him. She
noted the sword in his hand. the death in
his eye-and for the first time since the
scene in the courtyard of Edinburgh Castle
she smiled
Then the fury in sholto's heart broke
suddenly forth.
Woman he cried, show me cause why
should not slay YOU. For. by God, 1 will
If aught of harm hath overtaken my mas
ter Speak, 1 bid you, if you have any
wish to liver
But the Lady Sybilla continued to smile
the same dreadful, mocking smile, and
somehow ShOlto, with his weapon bare and
his arm nerved to the thrust felt himself
grow weak and helpless under the stiffness
and utter pitifulness of her look.
ou would XIII me-klll me, you say -
the words came low and thrilling forth
from lips which were as those of the dead
whose chin has not yet been bound about
with napkn-"ah, would that you could.
But you cannot. Steel will not say, poi
son will not destroy, nor water drown Sy-
bill a de Thouars till her work be done!'
Sholto escaped from the power of her
eye.
My master" he gasped, my master,
is he well? I pray you tell me?"
Was it a laugh that he heard in answer
Rather sound not of human mirth, but
of a condemned spirit, laughing under
ground. Then again the low, even voice
replied out of the expressionless face:
AYE, your master Is well'

white palfrey started forward with the
feins loose on his neck. And as she went
the eyes of the Lady SybiIla were fixed on

side with bowed head and abased sword, the
strange woman went her way 10 work out

But ere the Lady Sybilla disappeared

Racial Renartpe.

A Swede and an Irishman, both of
them tolerably well known about town,
got into an argument in front of the
court house, and they began telling
each other how it was too bad that their
ancestors had ever happened to shed
the wolf robes and lake to living under
cover. says the st. Paul Globe. When
things got a bit warm the Swede re-
marked that there was no doubt in his
mind that the Irishman would be en-
titled, by reason of his ancestry, to
join some of the pedigree associations,
but for the unfortunate fact that most
of those ancestors we're hanged for
stealing sheep. II suppose they did
their sheep stealing with the under
standing among themselves that they
were all kings, and that it was all right
to go over into the next county and steal
whatever they could lay their hands
on" said the Swede, in conclusion
Eyes. an be all accounts" said the

THE TIRE PROBLEM.
A Wcll-KnOwn New Jersey PArm
Publicist Explains His Views ON
This Important Question.

My opinion has been asked as to
the use of broad tires on country
roads and on the fields. There is no
question in my mind that on hard
roads or solid ground broad tires are
the best. The broad tire is also best
on moderately soft ground, but on
ground soft enough for the wheels to
sink below the felloes the suction is so
great that in some instances which
have come under my observation it
has required four horses to move an
empty wagon. The lime carriers in
this section have learned this fact and
when the mud is deep either use mar
row tires or do not cart at all.
If broad tires were used exclusive
ly on the roads the ruts would be Cor
respondingly wide, but with part mar
row tires the broad tires will sink
in the ruts in case of freezing and will
pull hard. The tendency of broad tires
to pick up dirt is strong argument
against the use of steel wheels. A
neighbor purchased one of the low
down steel wagons, and putting on
load of manure drove to the field; the
wagon felloes settled below the sur
face and four horses could not start
it. With broad tires the wagon bod
les must be set high, which will re-
quire more lifting to load it, for it
must be made long and narrow. In
my opinion if farmer keeps two
farm wagons one of them should be
broad tired, to use when or where the
ground is solid. The other should be
narrow tired for use when necessary
when the mud is deep. If but one is
kept it will be safest to have the tire
not over two inches wide.-P. H. Hart
well, in American Agriculturist.

the frame more compact and rigid.
AS to the length of the logs, the one
in each section should be just trifie
over three feet, for then, owing to the
space between the rollers of about
five inches, one, if he so desires, can
nicely roll ground planted to corn by
driving astride one row. A roller of
this width, with logs about two feet
in diameter, can be drawn by span of
horses with ease.
To explain it's construction more
fully, on the end of each roller should
be fastened a plate of old boiler iron,
through which have the pins project,
these being about Is inches long. Many
a farmer can do all the blacksmith
work himself. but in case he cannot
this cost rarely exceeds three dol
lars. For the driver, an old hay rake
or moving machine seat is just the
thing; and, in order to prevent the
rollers from having a decided ten
dency downward on the tongue, as
Oftentimes occurs, and making the
necks of the horses sore in conse-
quence, it is generally advisable to
bolt the seat on the middle crosstie of
the frame. This arrangement affords
comfortable driving position, as
well as an excellent one from which
to observe and direct the work; and
if roller thus made is only properly
housed, it will do good service and
last for years.-Frederick @. Sibley,
in n, Y, Tribune.
