CHAPTER XIV.
THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, spout of gravel
was dislodged and fell rafting and
bounding through the trees. My eyes
turned instinctively in that direction,
and l saw figure leap with great rapid
ity behind the trunk of pine. What it
was, whether bear or man or monkey,
could in no wise tell. 1t seemed dark
and shaggy; more L knew not. But the
terror of the new apparition brought
me to a stand.
| was now, it seemed, cut off upon
both sides; behind me the murderers,
before me this lurking nondescript. And
Immediately L began to prefer the dam
gers that | knew to those l knew not.
Silver himself appeared less terrible in
contrast with this creature of the
woods, and l turned on my heel, and, +,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder, began to retrace my steps in
the direction Of the boats.
Instantly the figure reappeared, and, d,
making a wide circuit, began to head
me off. l was tired, at any rate; but
had l been as fresh as when | rose, i
could see it was in vain for me to CON
tend in speed such an adversary. From
trunk to trunk the creature fitted like
deer, running man-like on two legs,
but unlike any man that l had ever
seen, STOPPING almost double as it ran.
Yet man it was. l could no longer be
in doubt about that.
l began to recall what had heard of
cannibals. I was within an ace of call

thro Ugh the air. 1t stuck poor Tom,
point foremost, and with stunning
violence. right between the shoulders
in the middle of bis back His hands
flew up, he gave a sort of gasp, and
fell
Whether he was injured much or
little none could ever tell. Like enough,
broken on the spot, but he had no time
given him to recover. Silver, agile as
a monkey, even without leg or crutch.
was on the top of him the next moment,
and had twice buried his knife up to the
blt in that defenseless body. From my
place of ambush could hear him pant
loudly as he struck the blows.
l do not know what it rightly is to
faint, but | do know that for the next
little while the whole world swan
away from before me in a whirling
mist; Silver and the birds and the tall
Spy-glass hilltop, going round and
round and topsy turvy before my eyes,
and all manner of bells ringing and dis
tant voices shouting in my ears.
When / came again to myself, the
monster had pulled himself together,
his crutch under his arm, his hat upon
his head. Just before him Tom lay
motionless upon the sward; but the
murderer minded him not whit,
cleansing his blood-stained knife the
while upon a whisp of grass. Every
thing else was unchanged, the sun still

shining mercilessly on the steaming
marsh and the tall pinnacle of the noun
tain. and | could scarce persuade my
self that murder had actually been
done, and a human life cruelty cut
short a moment since before my eyes.
But now John put his hand into his
pocket, brought out whistle, and blew
upon it several moduated blasts, that
rang far across the heated air. | could
not tell, of course, the meaning of the
signal, but it instantly awoke my fears.
More men would be coming. l might
be discovered. They had already slain
two of the honest people; after Tom
and Alan, might not l come next?
Instantly l began to extricate myself
and crawl back again. with what speed
and silence l could manage, to the more
open portion of the wood. AS l did so,
l could hear halls coming and going be-
tween the old buccaneer and his COM
rades, and this sound of danger lent me
wings. AS soon as | was clear of the
thicket l ran as l never ran before,
scarce minding the direction of my
fight, so long as it led me from the muir
derers; and as / ran, fear grew and
grew upon me, until it turned into a
kind of frenzy.
Indeed, could anyone be more entire
ly lost than I? When the gun fired,
how should dare go down to the boats
among those fiends, still smoking from
their crime? Would not the first of
them who saw me wiring my neck like
a snipe's? Would not my absence itself
be an evidence to them of my alarm,
and therefore of my fatal knowledge?
1t was all over, l thought Good-by
to the Hispaniola; good-by to the
squire, the doctor and the captain. There
was nothing left for me but death by
starvation or death by the hands of the
mutineers.
All this while, as I say, l was still
running, and, without taking any no.
tice, | had drawn near to the foot of the
little hill with the two peaks, and had
got into a part of the island where the
wild oaks grew more widely apart, and
seemed more like forest trees in their
bearings and dimensions. Mingled
with these were few scattered pines,
some so, some nearly 70 feet high. The
air, too, smelled more freshly than
down beside the marsh.
And here fresh alarm brought me to
standstill with a humping heart.

a WOODLAND SUMMONS.
Maiden frank and free.

Maiden frank and free,
Leave the town with me;
leave the city for the woodlands.
Foe the fields of emerald corn.
For the meads with running streamiets
Singing praises to the morn;
Eor the hills that bound the distance
Crowned with purple diadems;
For the sunshine on the dewdrops.
Decking trees and plants with gems
Maiden sweet and fair.
Young and debonair;
leave the city's smoke and hurry,
Eever-ceasing toll and pain.
Noisy streets and noisome alleys.
Love of gold and greed of gain,
Where the soul is cribbed and cabined.
Where the heart has lack of room,
Where the ghosts of want and hunger
Stalk around in robes of gloom.
Maiden dear and free.
Nature here we see
Mature in her robes of beauty,
Glowing in her summer dress,
Free from artificial fetters,
Free from sorrow and distress.
SSoothed by sound of running waters,
Charmed by humming of the bees.
Let us rest within the shadows
OF the grand primeval trees.

WANTS HIS MONEY.
John Mackey Brings Suit to Collect
Cash For Use of His Horses.

John Mackey has commenced suit in
the Superior Court against George
Rose and B. w Cavanaugh, Jr.
The complaint recites that in August
1896, plaintiff was the owner of five
horses, Celistia, Geyser, Torsina, Tea
Rose and Dalton, and leased them to
defendants, who agreed to bear all ex-
penses incurred in their keeping and
training and their care and custody;
to enter and race them in races given
by agricultural societies, jockey clubs,
etc, and pay plaintiff half the gross
purses stakes and sums offered by
such societies and won by the horses.
Plaintiff claims that during the time
the horses We're leased to them defend
ants earned with them the gross sum
of S6911, of which he is entitled, under
the lease, to half, or So, 400 30; but
they refused to pay it to him when de-
manded by him.
For a separate cause of complaint he
alleges that his assignor, j. B. Haggin
leased to defendants in August, 1896
on the same terms as the former lease,
the horses Jay Wheeler, Miss Maggie
NJ, Sister Beatrice, Hanette and Prin-
ciple, with which they earned $2,296 90
of which one half, 81, 14S %, is due to
him, having been assigned to him by J.
B. Haggin, and that defendants refused
to pay it to him.
He therefore asks judgment for

HIGH SCHOOL FIELD DAY.
Sacramento and Woodland Schools
Will Compete To-morrow.

Next Saturday athletes from the
Woodland High School Will compete for
honors with the Sacramento High
School at Agricultural Park.
No doubt the field-day will be a sue
cess as far as athletics are concerned;
besides, the attendance will undoubted-
~ be large.
The Woodland team expect to carry
off honOrs, but the Sacramento boys are
not at all faint-hearted, as they have
plenty Of excellent athletes This is
not noticeable in one line only, but in
all, and if the boys keep up their prac-
tice they need not fear competition with
any other institution.
There Will be twelve events on the
card, every one of which will have in it
at least four or five men. This will
make every event interesting The
programme has been arranged, and it
will be run off without any tedious de-
lays. Announcements will be made on
the large blackboard across from the
grand stand. The stand will be clean,
so that all ladies will have no fear for
their skirts.
1t is expected that all local records
will be bettered materially and proba-
bly, one or two coast records will be
shattered.
Independently of the success of the
teams, however, and the honors which
they may achieve, the thing itself is to
be commended from the standpoint of
it's influence upon more extended out
door general exercise. 1t is hoped that
everybody who possibly can will be
there, with purple and white ribbons,
the school colors. By all means should
athletic sports be encouraged, and a
large audience will go far toward at
tanning that result.
The Woodland boys will run an ex-
cursion over on that date and seventy
five people have already made up their
minds to come and cheer on the vic
tors.
All the members of both teams are in
first-class condition, and earnest COM
petition will be the result. All the
strong men will be there in force,
striving for records as they have never
Striven before.
The promoters of the affair wish to
have it stated that the games will COM
mence at = o'clock sharp, as the Wood
land people go home the same day.

A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of indigestion.
They are in tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely
While LIQUID preparations become stale
and useless with age
They are convenient, can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
OF them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food, they constitute a perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh by digesting
flesh forming foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
only remedy designed especially for the
cure of stomach troubles and nothing
else.
One disease, one remedy. the success
full physician of to-day is the specialist
the successful medicine is the medicine
prepared especially for one disease.
A whole package taken at one time
would not hurt you, but would simply
be a waste of good material.
over six thousand men and women
in the State of Michigan alone have
been cured of Indigestion and dyspepsia
by the use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
