CHAPTER. Ill

Now, the end of this pirating business
came in a way which no one had quite
foreseen, and though the underwriters
did not get back the insurance they had
paid on the Shah the George M. Wash
ington was never turned into tangible
profit by those who had stolen her.
1t seems that Mr.. Knowles, the for
mer first mate, had taken the starboard
lifeboat safely enough into Key West,
had found himself out of a berth, was
given the offer of Il captaincy on guano
bark then in Panama, whose late mas
ter had died of coast fever, and had
jumped at the chance. He got cast
down to Aspinwall in q freight steamer,
crossed the isthmus by railroad, and
left Panama for the south the very day
we pulled our anchors out of that bay
OF Cuba. 1t was not much of a coinci-
dence that he should be coming into
Callao roadstead through the north
channel past San Lorenzo island when
we We're steaming in through the south
ern.
We were III first and had brought to
an anchor, waiting for the health Off
Ger. was half dead with work and
heat and had come up out of the engine
room and was sat in Il chair under the
bridge deck awning, getting spell of
rest. There was a glare from the water
which hurt, SO by way Of ease / kept
my drowsy eyes on little old bark
that was coming in under lower top
sails, with just enough breeze to give
her steerageway. She was heading so
as to pass within dozen yards of us,
and l watched her with eyes that did
not see Presently the sound of voices
came duly to my ears
The color of her sides is different,
the tunnels different, those stump top
masts are different and the wheelhouse
IS unshipped from the upper bridge.
Still she's remarkably like my old ship
for all that. %
But she's got a starboard lifeboat.
1t was tho starboard you Went off in,

you, and take charge of bag of bull
lion? Garry it with you to the port life
boat, and if you get it safely ashore you
shall have 10 per cent as salvage for
your pains. Come right in. !"
l stepped into the charthouse, the
door closed behind me, and 1 found my
SELF face on to a curious sight. The car
penter was sitting on the captains sofa,
and opposite him was one of the deck
hands fellow who had joined from
New Orleans when 1 did, lingering a
nickel plated revolver.
Hello" said l, what does this
mean?'
1T means" says Blake from behind
me, chat you'v got to stay right here
on this ship, Mac, and be her chief en-
glneer whether you like it or not.
Now I've got knife in my hand this
minute"-he laid the cold blade lightly
upon the back Of my neck for an in

He went out in the dark, closing the
door on his heels, and found myself
sitting beside the carpenter looking at
the big, sallow faced creole who held
the revolver.

"And who's going to work the ship
when the crew have gomez"
"Oh, Well have eight of crew all
told, counting in you and mo and Chips
here and the skipper. Two of them
slowed away in the forehold and two
signed on as coal trimmers
"I'm shipmate with some very clever
scoundrels, thought and wished my
self far enough away. But as there was
no means of getting clear l thought it
was best to save my throat by doing as
was bid. Legrand seemed to guess
what was passing through my mind
Be a sensible man, Mr.. McTodd, :"
said he, "and do as we want you and
draw your $50 month, and then so
ashore and spend it when the time
comes About the right and the wrong
of the business you have no concern
That lies between us and our con-
sciences. You have been forced into it
against your will. :"
"Weel," I said, "Mr. Legrand
yon's very sensible way OF putting it,
You'll go to hell when the time comes.
I shalln't, and $50 a months very

"Bonny Scotland,' says Legrand
with a laugh. "Hello, here's the skip

Blake came into the charthouse, his
face glistening with tho wet "They re

State Auditor Dunn announces that
there will be sale of State lands in
this county some time during the next
two months, the exact date to he an
nounced later. At the county audit
or's Office it is stated that there are
only about 24O acres yet remaining
unsold, one 40 being in Brookville, an
other in Vail, and an 80 being in
Granite Rock. There may be num-
Der of tracts that will revert to the
State by reason of the original pur-
chasers not keeping up the interest
and principal, but these will be very
few, owing to the fact that the value
has increased materially and the or
iginal purchaser will make every ef-
fort to retain what has increased so
much in value during his contract.
Billiards in March are really in

panied by very light fall of snow
which became mixed with sand and
dust. When the populace arose Sun.
day morning the air was filled with
this dust and snow, and the storm kept
up with undated fury all day, and
even continued until one o'clock Mon.
day morning. At seven o'clock of the
latter morning the sun shone brightly
the wind had decreased in fury very
much, and the indication was that the
blizzard had been turned down.

7 H e CITY
THE TOWN OF NOGOOD.
From the Nelr Hdren Re!

From the Ne,r Hduen Register.
My friend, have you heard of the town of
NOgOOd
On the banks of the river Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
Where the Sometimeorother scents the air,
And the soft Goeasy grow?
1t lies in the valley of Whatstheuse,
In the province of Leterslide.
That Tiredfeeling is native there.
It's the home of the reckless Idontcare,
Where the Giveitups abide.
1t stands at the bottom of Lazyhill,
And is easy to reach, l declare.
You've only to fold up your hands and glide
Down the slope of Weakwill's toboggan slide
To be landed quickly there.
The town is as old as the human race,
And it grows with the flight of years.
1t is wrapped in the fog of idler's dreams
It's streets are paved with discarded schemes
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The Collegebredfool and the Richman's heir
Are plentiful there, no doubt.
The rest of it's crowd are motley crew,
With every class except one in view
The Foolkiller is barred out.
The town of NogOod is all hedged about
BY the mountains of Despair.
No sentinel stands on it's gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
NY friend, from the dead alive town Nogood
If you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good and i'll,
Take this for your motto, Il can, will
And live up to it each day.

Vacation
Week
in the Redwood schools
begins next Monday.

There are quite a number of
pupils who have difficulty of
eyes firing easily, or aching in
eye-balls, redness and soreness
of eyes, or headaches over eyes,
especially when necessary to
study by lamplight.
Excessive eye strain caused
by optical defects is in most
cases the cause of these symp-
toms, and relief comes by the
use of glasses fitted after a care
full examination.
During vacation week, any
who may wish it may have ex-
aminations made free of charge
by H. NJ. Hitchcock, optician.
Every pair of glasses he fur
nishes is guaranteed to have
practical value in improving
sight or relieving eye strain,
the purchaser being the judge.
