When he came on deck, the men had
begun already TO take out the arms and
powder, yo-ho-ing at their work, while
the captain and Alr. Arrow stood by
experimenting.
The new arrangement was quite to
my liking. The whole schooner had
oeen overhauled; six berths had been
made astern, out of what had been the
afterpart of the main hold; and this
set of cabins was only joined to The
galley and forecastle by n spared pas
sage on the port side. 1t had been
originally meant that the captain. Mr.
Arrow, Hunter, Joyce, the doctor, and
he squire were TO occupy these six
berths. Now Redruth and were to get

.aptain were to sleep on deck in the
companion, which had been enlarged
,n each side till you might almost have
saued il a roundhouse. Very low it
vas still, of course; but there was
room to swing two hammocks. and even
he mate seemed pleased with the ar
rangement. Even he, perhaps, had

nad not long the benefit of his opinion.
We were all hard at work, changing
he powder and the berths, when the

with them. came of in a shore-boat.

"Ay, ay, sir" answered the cook;
and, touching his forelock, he disap-

MOST FAMOUS PRISONER.
Drcyfus, the French Spy, IL Ever
I'nder Guard.


Under Guard.
Since Napoleon died on st. Helena
there has been no prisoner so carefully
guarded as ex-Capt. Dreyfus Is now in
the lie Du Diablo, of the coast Of
French Guiana.
He is the most famous political pria-
oner on earth to-day, the most carefully
guarded, the most closely watched, the
subject OF the keenest anxiety.
A possible parallel in point OF impor-
tgnce might be drawn between Dreyfus
and Arab Pasha, who ave the English
so much trouble when they bombarded
Alexandria and fought the battle OF
Tel-el-Kebir. But Arab, for all his
once Importance, is not dangerous now.
He is hardly n prisoner at all except
in name, but lives the life of pros
porous tea planter in Ceylon, with oil
the freedom of motion and every COM
fort of life.
Not so with Dreyfus. He was not
patriot and reformer overborne by SUI
perior force, like Arab, but traitor
so they said--and nobody cares much
what becomes of him; nobody, that Is.
except the high authorities who trem-
BILE at the idea of his escaping.
II he Is really an innocent scapegoat
for Official sinners In high place the Isle
of the Devil holds one OF the most
deeply injured of men. Probably ma
jority of the people of France really be-
lieve he is q victim, not criminal, and
the feeling is likely to make trouble yet
for men in high places. 1t will be
thrilling day for France when thathap-
pens.
There is a great crusade in France
which has for its object the rescue OF
this unhappy man. The conviction
grows that he is scapegoat. NJ. Scheu-
rer-Kestner, one of the vice presidents
Of the senate. declares that he has In
his possession documents which prove
Dreyfus innocent Of the charge
against Hmm. Y. World.

CHAPTER VIII.

AT THE SIGN OF THE SPYGLAsS.
When / had done breakfasting, the
squire gave me a note addressed to John
Silver, at the sign of the Spyglass, and
told me | should easily find the place
by following the line of the docks, and
keeping a bright outlook for little
tavern with large brass telescope for
a sign. 1 set off, overjoyed at this oP-
portunity to see some more of the ships
and seamen, and picked my way among
a great crowd of people and carts and
bales, for the dock was now at its bust
est. until found the tavern In question.
1t was bright enough little place OF
entertainment. The sign was newly
painted; the windows had neat red
curtains; the floor was cleanly sanded.
There was a street on either side, and
an open door on both, which made the
large, low room pretty clear to see in,
in spite of clouds of tobacco smoke.
The customers were mostly seafar-
ing men; and they talked so loudly
that | hung at the door, almost afraid
to enter.
As I was waiting, man came out OF
of side room, and at a glance, was
sure he must be Long John. His left
leg was cut off close by the hip, and un-
der the left shoulder he carried a
crutch, which he managed with won
derfuI dexterity, hopping about upon it
like a bird. He was very tall and
strong, with a face as big as ham
plain and pale, but intelligent and smil-
ing. Indeed, he seemed In the most
cheerful spirits, whistling as he moved
about among the tables, with merry
word or slap on the shoulder for the
most favored of his guests.
Now, TO tell you the truth, from the
very first mention of Long John in
Squire Trelawney's letter, 1 had taken
a fear In my mind that he might prove
TO be the very one-legged sailor whom
1 had watched for so long at the old
Benbow. But one look at the man be-
fore me was enough. 1 had seen the
captain, and Black Dog and the blind
man Pew, and thought 1 knew what n
buccaneer was like-a very different
creature, according to me, from this
clean and pleasant-tempered landlord.
plucked up courage at once, crossed
the threshold, and walked right up to
the man where he stood, propped on
his crutch, talking TO customer.
"Mr. Silver, sir?" l asked, holding out
the note.
"Yes, my lad," said he; such is my
name, TO be sure. And who may you
be?" And when he saw the squire's
letter, he seemed to me to give some
thing almost like a start.
'Ohl" said he, quite aloud, and offer
ing his hand, 81 see. You are our new
cabin-boy; pleased 1 am 10 see YOU"
And he took my hand in his large
firm grasp.
Just then one of the customers at the
far side rose suddenly and made for the
door. 1t was close by him, and he was
out in the street in n moment. But his
hurry had attracted my notice, and
recognized him at glance. twas the
tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers
who had come first to the Admiral Ben
bow.
"Oh," I cried, stop himl it's Black
Dogi"
II don't care two coppers who he is,
cried Silver. 'But he hasn't paid his
score. Harry, run and catch him"
One of the others who was nearest the
door leaped up and started in pursuit
'If he were Admiral Hawke he shall
pay his score" cried Silver; and then

Dec. 5.-Oil development from now

ing is now in progress.
In Leon county, near Buffalo, an
eastern oil man has leased a large
acreage of land and the work of oil
development will begin at once. A

time ago, but it was badly handled and
ia great faith in that territory and it
will be thoroughly prospected.
In the Powell neighbOrhOOd in this
county, about nine miles southeast
from this city, number Of leases have
been secured and the work of drilling
will begin on q number of wells in q
few days. The spirit of development
seems to have been given new life by
the big strike in the Judge Rufus
