you, now?"
Not l, SIR" said Morgan, with a
salute.
You didn't know his name, did you? ?"
''No, SIR"
"By the powers, Tom Morgan, it's as
good for you!" exclaimed the landlord.
IF you had been mixed up with the
like of that, you would never have put
another foot in my house, you may lay
to that. And what was he saying to
you?"
Il don't rightly know, sir" answered
Morgan.
do you call that a head on your
shoulders, or blessed dead-eye?" cried
Long John. Don't rightly know, don't
you? Perhaps you don't happen to
rightly know who you was speaking to,
perhaps? Come now, what was he jaw
ing-v'yages, cap'ns, ships? Pipe up?
What was it?'

answered Morgan.
"Keel-hauling, was you? and mighty
suitable thing, too, and you may lay to
that. Get back to your place for a
lubber, Tom"
And then, as Morgan rolled back to
his seat Silver added to me in a conf

Ben's a good runner; few seamen run

down, hand over hand, by the powers!
He talked o. keel-hauling, did he? I'll

All the time he was jerking out these
phrases he was stumping up and down
the tavern on his crutch, slappipg
tables with his hand, and giving such a

CHAPTER VIII.

AT THE SIGN OF THE SPYGLASS
When l had done breakfasting, the
squire gave me 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
sign. l set off, overjoyed at this op-
portunity to see some more of the ships
a great crowd of people and carts and
bales, for the dock was now at it's busi-
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 [ was waiting, man came out of
of a 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

AN ENGLISH GALLANT,
4 Man of Fashion of the Elizabeth

Glancing across the surface of every

manners, the love of showy, brilliant
colors worn by both sexes, and to com.
pare these. charming characteristics

himself in the favorite mart of fash

on the wane, but his mustaches are cul-
tivated and curled at the points, and
himself redolent with choicest per-
fumes.
Costly jewels decorate his ears;
gold brooch of rarest workmanship
fastens his bright scarlet cloak, which
is thrown carelessly over his left shoul-
der, for he is most anxious to exhibit
to the utmost advantage the rich hatch

a SUMMER ROMANCE.

They met to-day at luncheon, and immense
was their surprise;
Twas hard for them TO comprehend the
scene before their eyes,
For only just week ago they parted with
tear.
And neither dreamed of meeting. face to
face, the other, here.
Twas at a cheap seaside resort their
friendship first began;
She was a cultured heiress, he a wealthy
nobleman.
And side by side they strolled about the
happy, wave-washed sands
Till fate or fortune called them home to
widely different lands.

sail away,
Through Californias orange groves she
all alone must stray,
But since vacation days are o'er-be still,

Who Called on Him.
HIS BROTHER WITH HIM

SOMERSET, Pa, August 29.-The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley passed a restful
night. They rose early and wished their
visit could be prolonged.
The Presidents visit has been a compara-
lively quiet one, such as a rest seeker
might wish for.
There were but few callers until this
morning, when the eagerness to embrace
an opportunity was given rein and hun
dred people gathered in front of the Nc
Kinley home for a handshake.
Many men carried kodaks with which to
strap the chief executive. and some of the
women had arms full of babies whose little
hands they wished to lay in that of the
President.
The President evidently wished to avoid
anything like a reception. and he sat on the
side porch smoking. Coming to the front
porch, he shook hands With those who had
gathered thera.
When the crowd had gone the President
noticed, sitting on a bench at the outer
edge of the pavement, two aged farmers
who had come in to see him. He beckoned
to them and met them half way down the
steps for a handshake.
The presidential party, consisting of the
President and Mrs. Mckinley, Assistant
Secretary Geo. B. Cortelyou and Maj. Webb
Hayes, left here on a special train at IL
O'Clock for Johnstown, from where they
