:he disabled junks on TO the shore. We lost
ten men, and several moro were MORALLY
wounded. AS near as we could make out
not more than 500 pirates ever reached tho
shore.
On the third morning, under cover Of
constant firing from tho gunboats, VIC low
cred launches armed with marines and
made for the shore On the right, thus flank
Ing the pirates, who were expecting us to
land in front where they had strewn
'crowsfcet' for our benefit. These crows
feet consist Of six pointed highly seasoned
pieces Of bamboo, sharper than needles
point, capable OF penetrating the toughest
leather and infiicting torturous wounds on
the feet. Had we not escaped this trap the
day would undoubtedly have gone against
US. When neither cunning tricks nor the
absolute disregard of death could help
them, they began TO give way in punches,
and, well nigh exhausted ourselves, We
drove them from their stockatle and up the
hills That was showing them out of the
frying pan into the fire, for on the brow of
the hill the Chinese regulars were drawn
lp in waiting and captured most Of them
without difficulty.
1--WE got back to the harbor of Swallow
IN time to see the CAPTURED pirates marched
in, all dragging heavy chains. They were
battered, ragged and covered with blood,
and they looked the fighting devils they
were.
"Tas Tai, the mayor, summoned all the
inhabitants of his district on the plain be-
fore the town, and all the captured pirates,
about $50. were bcheaded as warming to
all sea robbers. Men chosen for the pur-
pose gathered up the severed heads of tho
pirates and placed them at equal distances
around the walls Of Swallow, where they
hung for three days. 1t was horrible, but
from that time pirates ceased their depre-
dations in that locality.
"Tas Tai ought TO have been satisfied,
but he was not. After looking at the long
rows Of heads upon the walls he declared
that he would rather have Lun Tails head
than all the Others put together"

l1shments was mystery.
After his arrest and vain attempt to
compromise matters no was released on
bail, appeared in a dime museum ard
finally opened a saloon.
Bates made the technical defense that he
was married to Annie Harbert, the Mich
fgan girl, before he married Julia Nc
Carly, and therefore the latter marriage
could not be legal. Judge Horton did not
favor the technical plea
Tho state held that Bates had been en-
gagged in the wholesale deception and mar
rage Of women, and that Justice as well
as chivalry demanded that he should DO
put out of the way.
Three inGeterminate sentences will be
imposed upon him, almost o lifetime in

deeds, but rather appears to glory in them.

you can never win a woman's lovo with
them. Nor can you win her by good
