up, and had two fine land-loclsed har-
bors, and hill in the center part
marked ''The Spy Glass" There were
several additions of later date, but,
above all, three crosses of red ink-two
on the north part of the island, one in
the southwest, and beside this last, in
the same red ink, and in a small, neat
hand, very different from the captains
lottery characters, these words: Bulk

Over on the back the same hand had
written this further information:

That was all; but brief as it was, and,
to me, incomprehensible, it filled the
squire and DR.. Livesey with delight.
''Livesey," said the squire, you will

Tomorrow l start for Bristol. In three

dispatch to the Evening World, dated

The Philippine rebel chief, Gen.

to the insurgents at Manila to obey

Killing still goes on in the outlying

local Spanish officials in spite of the
proclamation of Aguinaldo.
Wealthy Philippine families who are

So a big pigeon pie was brought in
and put on side-table, and I made
hearty supper, for was as hungry as
a hawk, while Mr.. Dance was further
complimented, and at last dismissed.
'And now, squire" said the doctor.
"And, now, Livesey," said the squire,
in the same breath.
"One at a time, one at a time"
laughed DR.. Livesey. "Ycu have heard
of this Flint, suppose?"
Heard of him!" cried the squire.
Heard of him, you say! He was the
bloodthirtiest buccaneer that sailed.
Blackboard was child to Flint. The
Spaniards were so prodigiously afraid
of him, that, tell you, sir, was some
times proud he was an Englishman.
I've seen his topsails with these eyes,
off Trinidad, and the cowardly son of
rum-puncheon that L sailed with put
back-put back, sir, into Port of
Spain"
''Well, I've heard of him myself, in
England" said the doctor. But the
point is, had he money!"
Money" cried the squire. "Have
you heard the story? What were these
villains after but money? What do they
care for but money? For what would
they risk their rascal carcasses but
money"
THAT we shall soon know" replied
the doctor. "But you are so confound-
eddy hot-headed and explanatory that
l cannot get a word in. What want to
know is this: Surprising that 1 have
here in my pocket some clew to where
Flint buried his treasure, will that
treasure amount to much?"
Amount, sir!" cried the squire. ''It
will amount to this; if we have the clew
you talk about, l fit out a ship in Bristol
dock, and take you and Hawkins here
along, and I'll have that treasure if 1
search year"
VERY WE'LL" said the doctor. "Now,
then, if Jim is agreeable, We'll open
the packet" and he laid it before him
on the table.
The bundle was sewn together, and
the doctor had to get out his instru-
ment case and cut the stitches with his
medical scissors. It contained two
things-a book and a sealed paper.
First of all We'll try the book" OBJ
served the doctor.
The squire and I were both peering
over his shoulder as he opened it, for
DR.. Livesey had kindly motioned me to
come round from the side table, where
had been eating, to enjoy the sport of
the search. On the first page there
were only some scraps of writing, such
as a man with pen in his hand might
make for idleness or practice. One was
the same as the tattoo mark, BILLY
Bones his fancy" and then there was
"Mr. w. Bones, mate" ''No more rum"
"Off Palm Key he got itt;" and some
other snatches, mostly single words
and unintelligible. l could not help
wondering who it was that had got
itt," and what ''itt" was that he got.
A knife in his back as like as not.
Not much instruction there" said
DR.. Livesey, as he passed on.
The next ten or twelve pages were
filed with curious series of entries.

Dear butterflies that rest upon the clover,
And joyous then in winged lightness rise,
You know one pathway 1 would fain dis

All, lead me home, free wandering but

summers,
My childhood summers, under far-off
skies;
Familiar wings. you pilgrims, you light

Home to old meadows, happy butterflies
on one green hill with grassy chamber
hollow,
The old. old home. the long-lost garden
lies;
Fit not so high, too spent am to follow;
Yet soon I'll come, my laughing butter
flies.
And earth will place her ancient palm so
tender
A little while upon these darkened eyes,
Then soft I'll wake, the early morning

To climb with you, my old, sweet but

Old Bencfs Knocked in the Head.

Old Beliefs Knocked in the Head.
Queen Elizabeth was not the angelic
creature represented in the histories
and poems Of her own times. Her hair
was red, her temper red-hot. She some
times drank too much, and at any prov
Ocatior she would curse like trooper.
She frequently swore at her maids, and
sometimes struck, kicked and pinched
them. Mary Stuart, of Scotland, was
not a beauty. She had cross eyes, and,
to save the trouble of having her hair
dressed, cut it off close to her head and
wore a wig. When, after her death,
the eXecutiOner lifted her head 20 show
it to the people, the wig came off and
showed a close-cropped skull, covered
with gray hair. Horatius never de-

 Knowing that the public has been misiuformed in regard 10 the case brought up in Court before Judge Ben son on the 18th inst, will say that I bought steer from MT. Sanches on the 10th inst, and he told me it was in D. c. Stevens pasture. After Mir. Stevens described the animal, and not knowing if it had a brand, my men went to the pasture, and finding that there was only one head with that description, brought it over to the the slaughter pen, and came to town and told me about it. sent Luis Ces- ma, who knew the steer, to go and see if it was the right one. He came back and said it WAS, so sent the butcher to slaughter it. Next day Mr. W. Whitlow claimed the steer and brought the matter before Judge Benson, who af- ter hearing the evidence dismissed the case. There are some people in this town who are trying their best to ruin my business by slandering my reputa- ton. Respectfully yours,

Here is a puzzle which you may try to see what you can do with. Tie a string about yard long to the door key and take the string in the right hand. Hold it so the key will clear the floor four or five inches. If you hold the string steady enough it will begin to swing back and forth in a straight line. Let another person take your left hand in his and the motion of the key will change from the pendulum like swing to circular swing. If a third person will place his hand on the shoulder of the second person the key will stop. After you have finished eating your supper just try the above and solve the puzzle.

American Securities Abroad.

The sales of American securities have been, according to London advices, very large abroad of late If this state of things holds, there will be an in- creasing influx of British gold into this market. This demonstrates the faith abroad in the stability of our credit. There is another point of faith for which the people not only of this but foreign countries have good grounds for credenee, and that is belief in the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for inorganic maladieswhich affect the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and nerves. Dyspepsia, uliliousness, con stipation and rheumatism are con auered by it. It hastens convalescence, and diffuses a generous warmth and sensation of physical comfort through the system.
