PART III.
CHAPTER XIII.-CONTINUED.

The captain was too bright to be in
the way. He whipped out of sight in a
moment, leaving Silver to arrange the
party; and 1 fancy it was as well he did
so. Had he been on deck, he could no
longer so much as have pretended not
to understand the situation. It was as
plain as day. Silver was the captain,
and mighty rebellious crew he had of
it. The honest hands--and I was soon
to see it proved that there were such
on board-1nust have been very stupid
fellows. Or, rather, I. suppose the truth
was this: that all hands were disaffect-
ed by the example of the ringleaders-
only some more, some less; and few,
being good fellows in the main, could
neither be led nor driven any further
It is one thing to be idle and slzulk, and
quite another to take ship and MUIR
der a number of innocent men.
At last, however, the party was made
up. Six fellows were to stay on board,
and the remaining 10, including Silver,
began to embark.
Then it was that there came into my
head the first of the mad notions that
contributed so much to save our lives
If six men were left by Silver, it was
plain our. party could not take and fight
the ship; and since only six were left,
it was equally plain that the cabin par
ty had no present need of my assist
ance. It occurred to me at once to go
ashore. In fifty had slipped over the
side, and curled up in the fore-sheets
of the nearest boat, and almost at the
same moment she showed off,
No one took notice of me, only the
bow oar saying: cts that you, Jim?
Keep your head down" But Silver,
from the other boat, looked sharply
over and called out to know if that
were me; and from that moment be-
gan to regret what had done.
The crews raced for the beach; but
the boat I was in, having some start,
and being at once the lighter and the
better manned, shot far ahead of her
consort, and the bow had struck among
the shore-side trees, and I had caught
"a branch and swung myself out, and

self that murder had actually been

But now John put his hand into his
pocket, brought out whistle, and blew
upon it several modulated blasts, that
rang far across the heated air. could
not tell, of course, the meaning of the
signal, but it instantly awoke my fears.
More men would be coming. 1 might
be discovered. They had already slain
two Of the honest people; after Tom
and Alan. might not I come next?
Instantly l began to extricate myself
and crawl back again, with what speed
and silence I could manage, to the more
open portion of the wood. AS did so,
I could hear halls coming and going be-
tween the old buccaneer and his COM
rades, and this sound of danger lent me
thicllet I ran as I never ran before,
scarce minding the direction of my
flight, so long as it led me from the muir
derers; and as I ran, fear grew and
grew upon me, until it turned into a
kind Of frenzy.
Indeed, could anyone be more entire
ly lost than I? When the gun fired,
how should I dare go down to the boats
among those fends, still smoking from
their crime? Would not the first of
them who saw me wiring my neck like
snipe's? Would not my absence itself
be an evidence to them of my alarm,
and therefore of my fatal knowledge?
1t was all over, thought. Good-by
to the Hispaniola; good-by to the
squire, the doctor and the captain. There
was nothing left for me but death by
starvation or death by the hands of the
mutineers.
All this while, as say, was still
running, and, without taking any no.
tice, had drawn near to the foot of the
little hill with the two peaks, and had
got into part of the island where the
wild oaks grew more widely apart, and
seemed more like forest trees in their
bearings and dimensions. Mingled
with these were few scattered pines,
some so, some nearly 70 feet high. The
air, too, smelled more freshly than
down beside the marsh.
And here fresh alarm brought me to
standstill with a humping heart.

Maiden frank and free,

Maiden frank and free,
Leave the town with me:
Leave the city for the woodlands,
For the fields of emerald corn,
For the meads with running streamlets
Singing praises to the morn;
For the hills that bound the distance,
Crowned with purple diadems;
For the sunshine on the dewdrops,
Decking trees and plants with gems
Maiden swe It and fair,
Young and .1ebonair;
Leave the city's smoke and hurry.
Never-ceasing toll and pain,
Noisy streets and noisome alleys.
Love Of gold and greed of gain,
Where the soul is cribbed and cabined,
Where the heart has lack of room,
Where the ghosts of want and hunger
Stalk around in robes Of gloom.
Maiden dear and free,
Nature here we see
Nature in her robes of beauty,
Glowing in her summer dress,
Free from artificial letters,
Free from sorrow and distress.
Soothed by sound of running waters.
Charmed by humming of the bees,
Let us rest Within the shadows
OF the grand primeval trees.

CHAPTER XIV.

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, spout of gravel
was dislodged and fell rafting and
bounding through the trees. My eyes
turned instinctively in that direction,
and I saw figure leap with great rapid
ity behind the trunk of a pine. What it
was, whether bear or man or monkey, 1
could in no wise tell. It seemed dark
and shaggy; more knew not. But the
terror of the new apparition brought
me to a stand.
I was now, it seemed, cut off upon
both sides; behind me the murderers,
before me this lurking nondescript. And
Immediately began to prefer the dan
gers that I knew to those knew not.
Silver himself appeared less terrible in
contrast with this creature of the
woods, and turned on my heel, and,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder, began to retrace my steps in
the direction of the boats.
Instantly the figure reappeared, and,
making wide circuit, began to head
me off. I was tired, at any rate; but
had I been as fresh as when rose, /
could see it was in vain for me to con-
tend in speed such an adversary. From
trunk to trunk the creature fitted like
a deer, running man-like on two legs,
but unlike any man that I had ever
seen, STOPPING almost double as it ran.

How he lost it at last.

their visit to the White City. People were
1ured along the miles of wonderful exhib-

at every step. and did not realize their
exhaustion until they dropped into a
chair in some breezy corner by the lake,

Gus remedies were tried. Several doctors

The TOddy Tree.

From Lippincott's.
Nature has her rum shops, her saloons.
She produces plants which devote them
selves to the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants. The South American toddy tree
is well known to naturalists. 1t is well
known also to the South American beetles
the Oryctes Hurcules. When the latter
gees on spree, he never goes it alone,
after the unneighborly habit of the human
drunkard. He collects his friends and ac-
qIaintances to the number of thirty or
forty; the whole crowd run their short
horns through the bark of the toddy tree
revel In the outfiowEg juices. and. while
inebriated, are easily caught by the human
natives.
The toddy tree parts with its liquor free
or charge There are other plants which
are less generous. They exact no less a
drunkard. And what do they do with the
BODY! Strange as 1t may seem, they eat
1t. In this manner they obtain the food
which nourishes them and sustains their
healthful existence.
At the end of each of their long green
leaves these PLANTS have pitcher-shared
receptacle. We might style this the growl-
er; but it never needs to be rushed. 1t is
always full of what with special appropri-
ateness might be called bug juice-a wa
terry liquor, sweet to the taste and inebriat-
Ing to the seEses. Only in fine weather is
the growler open for business. On rainy
Gays it is firmly shut up to keep out the

tents. Natures saloonkeepers do not wa

WORK OF COMPRESSED AIR.
Wonders of the Power of Air Are
Manifold and Amazing.
From the Springfield Republican.

Wonders of the Power of Air Are
Manifold and Amazing.
From the Springfield Republican.
The individual who has delved into me-
chanical mysteries and can appreciate the
difference between a monkey wrench and a
buzz saw knows that compressed air is a
valuable motive power, and when properly
directed can be utilized to advantage in
many different ways. Mechanical authori-
ties differ widely to the value and econ
omy of this agent as compared with cleo
trio and steam motors, but there is no
doubt that for some purposes IL possesses
many advantages. This fact is generally
conceded in as far as its use in car shops
end locomotive works is concerned. The
officials at the Boston and Albany shops
in West Springfield have long since recog-
nized this truth and acted upon it. For the
last two years they have utilized this pow
er in many ingenious ways. and are con-
stantly finding new openings for it's appli-
cation.
The number of uses to which the power
can be put would seem hardly credible to
the lay mind. The Oil used in the shops
comes in barrels and must be transferred
to the tanks. This is done by attaching a
pipe to the barrel, through which the fluid
Is to be conveyed to the tanks then a hole
| is bored in the top of the barrel, the COM
pressed air tube is attached and after
being turned on it forces the Oil out and
into the tanks in very short time BY a.
similar system sand is elevated to the loco
motives through a pipe, doing away With
the necessity of lifting it by hand. The
tubes OF the engines at the round house are
also blown and washed out by the air and
1t has been found very valuable in blowing
up hres, as 1t has steadier and more DOW
erful current than either q mans LUNGS or
pair of bellows.
BY means of a valve and piston a crane
ana CHAIN for loading and unloading cars
tne force 1t exerts any weight which the
chain Is capable of sustaining can be ele-
waited. The power is also used for bending
heavy iron pipe in the process called on
setting, which il readily performs by the
aid of the necessary auxiliary mechanical
appliances. Formerly the work of cleaning
passenger cars was what is known as mo
clnch, In the current vernacular; it re-
quired an incalculable amount of pounding
sweeping and busting, and the atmosphere
was shivered into millions of fragments as
the cleaner rapidly swung his reeds on tie
unclean cushion and worked himself into
profuse perspiration by his efforts: ali
this is avoided now by the use of COM
pressed air, which cleans out the interior
of the coaches very quickly and at the
same time noiselessly, busting cushions
and carpets and washing paint with the
least apparent effort.
An ingenious little piece Of mechanism is
the motor for drilling iron; when a hole has
to be put through a piece of iron all that
is necessary Is to adjust the bit, press the
button and it does the rest. A contrivance
for painting cars and locomotives is also a
very interesting article. This apparatus
resembles somewhat ordinary tin kettle
with spout: an atomizer is placed in the
