'Mr. Trelawney, viii you please pick
me off one of those men, sir? Hands,
If possible" said the captain.
Trelawney was as cold as steel. He
looked to the printing of his gun.
Now" cried the captain, easy with
that gun, sir, or you'll swamp the boat.
All hands stand by to trim her when he
aims"
The squire raised his gun, the rowing
ceased, and we leaned over to the other
side to keep the balance, and all was so
nicely contrived that we did not ship
a drop.
They had the gun, by this time,
Slowed round upon the swivel and
Hands, who was at the muzzle with the
hammer, was, in consequence, the most
exposed. However, we had no luck;
for just as Trelawney fired, down he
stopped, the ball whistling over him,
and it was one of the other four who
fell
The cry he gave was echoed, not only
by his companions on board, but by a
great number of voices from the shore,
and looking in that direction 1 saw the
other pirates trooping out from
among the trees and tumbling into
their places in the boats.
Here come the gigs, sir" said I.
"Give way, then" said the captain.
''We mustn't mind if we swamp her
now. If we can't get ashore, all's up
'Only one of the gigs is being
manned, sir" added, ''the crew of the
other most likely going round by
shore to cut us Off"
They'll have a hot run, SIR" re-
turned the captain; Jack ashore, you
know. It's not them mind; it's the
round-shot. Carpet bowls! My lady's
maid couldn't miss. Tell US, squire,
when YOU see the match, and we'll hold
water
In the meanwhile we had been max
ing Roadway at a good pace fer boat
so overloaded, and we had shipped but
little water in the process. We were
now close in; so or 40 strokes and we
should beach her; for the ebb had al

below the clustering trees. The gig
was no longer to be feared; the little
point had already concealed it from our

RECOGNITION.

No song is ever vain; the shyest bird
Whose melody is sweet is not unheard
The nightingale, in loneliest woodland
glen,
Is ne'er beyond the charmed ears of men,
And, soon or late. the worlds outreaching
hand
Plucks each rare flower that blooms in
desert sand.
Nor oceans depths. nor arctic SHOWS can

Secure the secret of their treasure gold.
Think not to be o'eriooked; mankind is
wise
And naught of value long escapes it's eyes.
Each day, in cot or palace from your
birth,
The world has paid you all it found you
worth.
If you have missed the goal toward which
you yearned,
Be sure of this: the goal has not been
earned.
Men may be false, but man is ever true
And man to man still metes his honest due.
Who rails at fate but mocks his own re-

Who weeps at fortunes frown" admits

And, yielding. marks his great unworthi-

For failure never yet deserved success.
The world is jealous, but the world is just,
And gold is bought with gold and dust with

To every worthy name is given renown,
On every royal head is placed crown.

There is a little girl living out on Til

The other day she looked up at him

SHE SAVED HER BICYCLE.
A Louisville Physician Tells Why HIS
Bill Was Cut Down.

a
Bill Was Cut Down.
Had it been man." said one of
Louisville's best-known physicians, Il
should have known what to do. But a
woman is a conundrum in herself and
in a majority of her actions.

for weeks. l patched the husband up
after his almost fatal misunderstanding
with the trolley car. L saw the young
wife through a serious illness. After
months had expired [ sent a most rea-
sonable bill with a modest hint that
was III need of some money. 1t seems
that l could not have selected a more
inopportune time for this gentle dun.
The husband was lamenting the aggre-
gate of family bills and the paucity Of
the family purse. There was a contin-
uous and unending call upon his slender
resources that had become maddening.
He would pay the doctor, who had been
faithful and considerable, but there he
would draw the line for some time to
come. They must retrench, and as GUS
tOdian of the purse strings he would see
that they did retrench.
when the wife came to. settle she
was visibly depressed. If would only
cut the bill in two she would pay it at
orce. One of the most potent pleas in
her behalf was two tears just ready to
start and just perceptible quivering
of her pretty lips. The other was a
pressing need of ready money on my
part. I'm not a Napoleon of finance, by
any means. So 1 wrote a receipt in full
and accepted so cents on the dollar.
Then the little woman fairly danced
in her glee. She waved a handful of bills
triumphantly above her head and said,

stated that there is no intention on the
part of the authorities to assume any
more risks than absolutely necessary
in sending a big fleet of practically
unarmed and therefore nearly help
less transports into Cuban waters.
For this reason until the
Spanish fotilla is disposed of, or until
a sufficient number of United States
warships can be spared to insure pro-
lection for the transports from Tampa
to their destination, no move from here
is expected. When this will be is I'M
certain. Although nothing official can
be learned on this point it is not be-
lieved any large movement will take
place in the immediate future.

TAMPA, Fla. June 3.-There is but
little change in the general situation
here. 1t can be stated positively that
no troops have been embarked at this
point, and until definite official news
is received from the fleets of Sampson

opinion among the army officers that
no movement of troops from here

Wonderful Vitality.

TOLEDO, O., June 3. Phillip Hertzig,
aged 65, respondent over his wife's
death, made an unsuccessful attempt
to end his earthly existence Wednes-
day night. The aged man cut his
throat with a razor, and, death not
following rapidly enough to suit him,
fired bullet in his breast in the re-
gion of his heart. The second effort
did not cause death, so he went to-
Forest cemetery and knelt down on
his wife's grave, firing four shots into
his brain. When taken to the hos
pital he was still conscious. Three
bullets are in his brain. Hertzig is a
man of powerful physique and may
recover.
