in Merry's favor. They began to scram-
BILE out of the excavation, darting flu
rious looks behind them. One thing l
observed, which looked we'll for us;
they all got out upon the opposite side
from Silver.
Well, there we stood, two on one
side, five on the other, the pit between
us, and nobody screwed up high enough
to offer the first blow. Silver never
moved; he watched them, very upright
on his crutch, and looked as cool as ever
l saw him. He was brave, and no mis-
take.
AT last, Merry seemed to think a
speech might help matters.
Mates" says he, there's two of
them alone there; ones the old cripple
that brought us all here and blundered
us down to this; the others that cub
that mean to have the heart of. Now,
mates"
He was raising his arm and his voice,
and plainly meant to lead a charge.
But just then-crack! crack! crack!-
three musket shots flashed out of the
thicket. Merry tumbled head foremost
into the excavation; the man with the
bandage spun round like teetotum,
and fell all his length upon his side,
where he lay dead, but still twitching:
and the other three turned and ran
for it with all their might.
Before you could wink Long John had
fired three barrels of a pistol into the
struggling Merry; and as the man rolled
up his eyes at him in the last agony,

AT the same moment the doctor, Gray
and Ben Gum joined us, with smoking
muskets, from among the nutmeg trees
Forward" cried the doctor
Double quick, my lads. We must head
'em off the boats"
And we set off at great pace, some
times plunging through the bushes TIC
the chest.
I tell you, but Silver was anxious to
keep UP with us. The work that man

DR.. SanaIelli, who discovered a serum
to prevent yellow fever, has left Monte
videc, Uruguay, for Brazil, to conduct
extensive experiments in the state of
Sac Paulo and other points where yell
low fever is raging now. Before leav-
ing. DR.. Sanarelli, in order to fully test
his serum, made three injections on
himself. According to DR.. Sanarelli
these injections were made to prove
that applications of the serum can be
made without dun9er.
La Pranza, OF Buenos Ayres, in COM
menting upon DR.. Sanarelli's test upon
himself, says that although he has
never made known the composition OF
the serum this acts more significant
than any official declaration.

went through, leaping on his crutch till
the muscles of his chest were fit to
burst, was work no sound man ever
equaled; and so thinks the doctor. AS
it was, he was already 80 yards behind
us and on the verge of strangling when
we reached the brow of THE slope
Doctor" he hailed, .see there! no
hurry!"
Sure enough, there was no hurry. In
more open part of the plateau we
could see the three survivors still run
ming in the same direction as they had
started, right for Mizzen-mast Hill. We
were already between them and their
boats, and so we four sat down to
breathe, while Long John, mopping
his face, came slowly up with us.
THANK We kindly, DOCTOR" says he.
You came in about the nick, guess,
for me and Hawkins. And SO it's you,
Ben Gunn!" he added. "Welf, you're a
nice one, to be sure"
I'm Ben Gum, am" replied the
maroon, wriggling like an eel in his
embarrassment. And" he added, after
long pause, "how do, Mr. Silver! Pref

think as you've done me-"

by the mutineers; and then, as we pro-
ceeded leisurely downhill to where the
| boats were lying, related in a few words
what had taken place. 1t was story
that profoundly interested Silver, and
Ben Gum, the haF-idiot maroon, was
| the hero from beginning to end.
Ben, in his long, lonely wanderings
about the island, had found the skele-
ton-it was he that had rifled it; he
had found the treasure; he had dug
| it up Git was the half of his pickaX
that lay broken in the excavation); he
had carried it on his back in many
weary journeys from the foot Of the tall
pine to cave he had ON the two-pointed
hill at the northeast angle of'the island
and there it had laid stored in safety
since two months before the arrival OF
the "IIispaniola."
When the doctor had wormed his Sc.
cret from him on the afternoon of the
attack, and when, next morning, he
saw the anchorage deserted, he had
gone to Silver, given him the chart
which was now useless-given him the
stores, for Ben Gums cave was well
supplied with goats meat sailed by
hfmself-given anything and every
thing to get chance of moving ir
safety from the stockade to the two
pointed hill, there to be clear of ma
laria and keep guard upon the money
"As for you, JIM" he said, st wen,
against my heart, but / did what
thought best for those who had stood

of these, whose fault was it?"
That morning, finding that 1 was t.

memt he had prepared for the mu
tineers, he had run all the way to tn,
cave, and, leaving Squire to guard tn
captain, had taken Gray and the ma
room and started, making the diagona
across the island, to be at hand be
side the pine. Soon, however, he saw
that our party had the start of him
and Ben Gum, being fleet of foot, ha,
been dispatched in front to do his hes
alone. Then it had occurred to him t

CHAPTER XXyIII.

THE FALL OF A CH1EFTA1N.
There never was such an overturn in
this world. Each of these six men was
as though he had been struck. But
with Silver the blow passed almost in
stantly. Every thought of his soul
had been set full-stretch, like racer,
on that money; well, he was brought up
in single second, dead; and he kept his
head, found his temper, and changed
his plan before the others had had time
to realize the disappointment.
"Jim," he whispered, "take that, and
stand by for trouble"
And he passed me double-barreled
pistol.
AT the same time he began quietly
moving northward, and in few steps
had put the hollow between us two
and the other five. Then he looked at me
and nodded, as much as to say: Here
is narrow corner" as, indeed, l
thought it was. His looks were now
quite friendly; and l was so revolted
at these constant changes that could
not forbear whispering: $50 you've
changed sides again."
There was no time left for him to
answer in. The buccaneers, with oaths
and cries, began to leap, one after an
other, into the pit, and to dig with
their fingers, throwing the boards aside
as they did so. Morgan found piece OF
gold. He held it up with perfect
spout of oaths. 1t was two-guinea
| piece, and it went from hand to hand
among them for a quarter of min.

COLLEGE OF COMMERCE.
University Of California Estab-
fishes a New Department..
Deep Interest Being Taken in This
Branch of Edmcation-Prof. James
to Attend International Con-
Eress at Antwerp.

The regents of the University of Cali
fornia have decided to establish col
lege of commerce as one of the de-
partments at the university. President
Kellogg is directed to make application
to the president of the United States
that an engineer officer of the United
States navy be detailed in accordance
with the act of congress approved in
1879 to act as instructor in the college.
The president of the university is en-
powered to recommend some suitable
educator to direct the new college. 1t
has been decided to invite some promi-
nent eastern instructor to deliver
the commencement address. Many
branches, technical and mechanical, as
well as strictly commercial, will be
taught, including the building of iron
and steel vessels.
The regents have referred TO COM
mittee,a proposition to have Pref. Mil
Ter, of the University OF Chicago, come
to this coast on a siX-months' lectur-
ing tour, while Prof. Moses, of the state
university, takes his place in Chicago.
Prof. Edward j. James, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, has been nominated by
the bureau of education at Washington
to represent the United States govern
ment as delegate to the international
congress of commercial instruction at
Antwerp, to be held April 16, 1898.
Prof. James has become widely
known in connection with the move
ment for the foundation of schools of
commerce and industry in connection
with colleges and universities, which
has resulted recently in the founding
Of the new college Of commerce in the
University of Chicago and of a similar
department in the University of Califor-
MIA. He was for some years at the
head of the Wharton school of finance
and economy, University of Pennsyl-
yania, which was the first department
Of this kind organized in the United
States. He was sent by the American
Bankers association in 1892 upon a tour
of inspection of the commercial schools
Of Europe. His report was published
| by that association in several successive
editions and has been recently reprinted
| by the bureau of education at Wash
ington and the University of Chicago.
Prof. James is president of the Amer
lean academy of political science, the
largest scientific association in the
world devoted to the general field of
economics and politics. He is the
author of numerous monographs on
educational, economic and political sub
jects. He stands at the head of the
university extension work of the Uni
versityof Chicago, having recently been
called from similar position in Phil
adelphia to the work at Washington.
