THE STOCKADE.
CHAPTER XVI.

NARRATIVE CONTINUED BY THE
DOCTOR - HOW THE SHIP WAS
ABANDONED.
1t was about half-past one-three
bells in the sea phrase-that the two
boats went ashore from the 'FHispani-
OLA" The captain, the squire and
were talking matters over in the cabin
Had there been brea IN Of wind, we
should have fallen On the six mutineers
who were left aboard with us, slipped
our cable, and away to sea. But the
wind was wanting; and to complete
our helplessness, down came Hunter
with the news that Jim Hawkins had
slipped into a boat and was gone
ashore with the rest.
1t had never occurred to us to doubt
jim Hawkins; but we were alarmed
for his safety. With the men in the
temper they were in, it seemed an even
chance If we should see the lad again.
We ran on deck. The pitch was bubbling
In the seams: the nasty stencil CT the
place turned me sick; if ever a man
| smelled fever and dysentery. it was in
that abominable anchorage. The six
! scoundrels were sitting grumbIing
under sail in the forecastie; ashore
| we could see the gigs made fast, and a
man sitting in each, hard by where the
river runs in. One of them was whist
| ling "Lillibullero"
| Waiting was strain; and it was de-
cided that Hunter and I should go
ashore with the jolly-boat, in quest of
| Information.
The gigs had leaned to their right:
but Hunter and pulled straight in, in
the direction OF the stockade upon the
chart The two who were left guard
ing their boats seemed in hustle at
our appearance; .Lillibullero'' stopped
off. and could sec. the pair discussing
what they ought to DO. Had they gone

OF course, they were got rid of as speed
lily as possible, but several appear TO
have packed and committed a good
deal of havoc among the sheep in some
districts The specimen which Mr.
John Roche, the Irish member of par
lament, shot recently must be one of
the descendants of these wild dogs.
The strange thing is that the animal
should have remained undiscovered so
long. Mr.. Roche thought at first that
he had secured a wolf but there can
be no doubt that that creature has dis

I shaped them one by one,
Then crimped the edges prettily.
And baked them in the sun.
Since then a many years have flown
And still I'm making pies,
Although a difference own
In methods and supplies.
And husband now. and children all,
Look with reproach at me,
If thrice upon the festal board
Each day no pies they see.
All, me, why was my childish play
Not nipped while in. the bud,
Why did 1 try my prentice hand
Upon those pies of mud

Yet none do realize
That I'm martyr to the cause

In my Judgment there is no choice be-

we wish to or not, we must take our
place among the powers of the earth.

two years DR.. Hutchinson practiced
his profession in Wa-Keeney and then
went away to the Pacific coast, where
he died in 1895. When very young
man he had gone to Honolulu, where
he opened fashionable dental estab-
lishment. The All Fong family be-
came his patrons, and it was in pro-
fessional capacity that he first met
the charming young Hawaiian who
later became his wife. There is
story which accounts for the presence
of the couple in the United States
Old All Fong opposed the marriage
and declared that he would diSinherIt
his daughter if She chose the young
American dentist. Then came an
elopement to San Francisco, and later
the removal to western Kansas This
story was rife in Wa-Keeney, but
neither DR.. Hutchinson and his wife
ever alluded to it, both being very re-
ticent as TO their domestic affairs

Some of the Doings of Wa-Keenians Beyond
the Sea.

1t is nothing short of marvellous
body's pie The kilograms of Sunday
brought the news of serious trouble
between Paymaster w. b. Wilcox and
Captain Whiting of the monitor Mon
adnock at Honolulu, which was ex-
pected to result in a duel. A few
weeks ago Captain Whiting married
one Mrs. Hutchinson, who is one of
the celebrated All Fong girls. 1t will
be remembered that All Fong is the
married half-white and Hawai-
ian woman and reared sixteen daugh-
ters- At a dinner given to the officers
of the Monadnoch, Paymaster Wilcox
is said to have cast reflections upon
the entire All Fong family, and when
the insult came to the ears of Captain
Whiting he set out to secure an apol-
ogy or a fight.
And now for the Kansas connection
inson, stalwart and handsome
American, came to Wa-Keeney in
western Kansas and opened dental
office. His wife was one of the All
Fong girls, and she became the widow
who so recently married Captain
Whiting Mrs. Hutchinson was as
pretty as a peach, bore the appear
ance of Japanese, and was well edu-
Gated both in English and French.
She was received into Wa-Keeney so
ciety and became very popular, both
for her amIable disposition and GER

one little boy who bore a striking re
semblance to his mother, and she
dressed him after fashion that be-

ANDREWS SEES ANOTHER WAR.
A Prediction That America VIII Take Part
In A European Conflict.

Madison, Wis, July 26.-F. Bania-
min Andrews. recently elected super
indent of schools of Chicago, in his
address before the Monona Lake
assembly, spoke on European Polit-
les" He predicted a great European
war in the near future into which the
United States would be dragged if it
did not go OF its own accord. He de-
scribed the strengthening of the fort
ifications and preparations for war in
every country in Europe.
''You may ask what force in Europe
preserves peace in Europe" he said.
.sThis peace force is the money power,
the great tinanciers, whose interests
are entirely opposed to war; There
are large numbers of people, intellig-
ent, thoughtful people, who believe
that general war would kill off
enough of the laboring population to
temporarily solve the labor problem.
Those who were left could be paid
larger wages and live o1 a higher
plane.
sit is interesting to consider Which
nation of Europe would benefit most
by general European war. That ma
tion undoubtedly would be Great Bri-
TAIN She has the navy. the men, and
the money. England is far better
situated in financial ways for war than
any other European power.
1.-THE present friendship of Great
Britain towaLd the United States
believe to be sincere, and not express
ed for the purpose OF making capital
out of US. We should respond to this
sentiment. Besides the ties of blood,
we would be wise to have a powerful
ally in case of friction with any other
European power.

take a place in the settlement of the
Eastern question. There are many
people who insist that we shall keep

CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 2S.-The
Rev. William AIKEN Kelly. a young min
lister who was recently admitted to the
Methodist Conference Of this State, has
been missing for a week and his
friends are anxious about him. He has
church at Sumter S. C. Ten days
ago he came to this city accompanied by
his wife and child to spend the Christ
mas holidays With friends The Sun
day before Christmas he preached an
excellent sermon at Bethel church. On
the following Tuesday he made an ap-
pointment in the morning to meet his
wife and some friends at a point near
the city. He then left the house at
which he was staying and has not
seen since. His wife says he worked
very hard preparing for his examna-
ton at the conference Of his church,
and she thinks his mind gave way un-
der the strain and he has wandered
away. She does not fear foul play, but
she is afraid he is i'll somewhere and
unable to communicate with his
friends. Once before, after a period OF
hard study the young minister left home
and was not heard of for four days
He came to himself then in Augusta

Payment of Cuban Troops.

10Y eAeSIdpllt
WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-Negotia-
tons are progressing in the matter of
payment of Cuban troops, so that on
laying down their arms they may be en-
abled to enter upon civil pursuits and
earn their livings. Probably no furth-
er appropriation by Congress will be
necessary to enable the President to
carry out the plan if it should be deci-
ded, as it probably WILL to advance
money. charging it against the revenues
OF Cuba, to pay the Cubans part of the
money due them for their service in the
Cuban army. This debt is not an obi
cation resting upon the United States,
but is one for which the Cuban govern
ment will be obligated on it's establish
ment on an independent basis. Pending
the establishment Of permanent gov
eminent, there is no authority RESPONSE
Bile for the payment of these soldiers
and unless the government advances
the money as a loan they will have to go
for an Indefinite period without pay for
services already rendered in the war
for independence. The special deticien-
cy appropriation bill carries an item of
$3,O00000 as an emergency fund which
the government may use for any pur-
pose, and the idea is to advance the
money for the payment of the Cuban
soldiers out OF this fund. 1t is UNDER
stood, however, that the President has
not consented to this arrangement yet.
