and had my own reasons for think
ing that the stranger was mistaken,
even supposing he meant what he said.
But it was no affair of mine, thought;
and, besides, it was difficult to know
what to do. The stranger kept hang
ing about just inside the inner door,
peering around the corner like cat
waiting for mouse. OnceI stepped out
myself into the road, but he immediate-
ly called me back, and, as did not obey
quick enough for his fancy, most hor-
rible change came over his tallowy
face, and he ordered me in, with. an
oath that made me jump.
AS soon as I was back again he re-
turned to his former manner, half
fawning, half sneering. patted me on
the shoulder, told me I was good boy,
| and he had taken quite fancy to me-
II have a son of my own" said he, las
like you as two blocks, and he's all the
! pride of my art. But the great thing
for boys is discipline, sonny-discip-
line. Now, if you had sailed along OF
Bill, you wouldn't have stood there to
be spoke to twice-not you. That was
| never Bills way, nor the way of such as
| sailed with him. And here, sure
enough, is my mate Bill, with spy
glass under his arm, bless his old art,
to be sure. You and nell just go back
into the parlor, sonny, and get behind
the door, and We'll give Bill little sur
prisc-bless his art, I say again.
So saying the stranger backed along
with me into the parlor, and put me be-
| hind him in the corner, so that we were
both hidden by the open door. 1 was
very uneasy and alarmed, as you may
! fancy, and it rather added to my fears
to observe that the stranger was GER
tainly frightened himself. He cleared
the hilt of his cutlass and looscned the
blade in. the sheath; and all the time
we were kept waiting there he kept
swallowing as if he felt what we used
to call lump in the throat.

A Russian journal that has recently
come under our notice calls attention
to the fact that for some 20 years past
the inhabitants of malarial locality
in the government of Kharkov have used
powdered crabs with great success in
the case of feyers. The powder is pre-
pared in the following way: Live crabs
are poured over with ordinary whisky
until they get asleep; they arc then put
on bread pan in hot oven, thorough
~ dried and pulverized, and the powder
passed through a. fine sieve. One dose,
teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to
cure the intermittent fever; in very OBJ
stinate cases a second dose is required.
Each dose is invariably preceded by a
glass of aloe brandy ASA purgative. The
powder is used in that locality in pref
erence to quinine. So says the journal.
We will not vouch for it.-N. y. Ledger.

The doctor never so much as moved.
He spoke to him, as before, over his
shoulder, and in the same tone of voice;
rather high, so that all the room
might hear, but perfectly calm and
steady:
IF you don't put that knife this in
slant into your pocket, promise, upon
my honor, you shall hang at the next
assizes.''
Then followed battle of looks be-
tween them; but the. captain soon
knuckled under, put up his weapon, and
resumed his seat, grumbling like beat
en- dog.
"And now, SIR" continued the doctor,

A Cyclists Disgust ut Not Being Hurt
in q C0lliaiOn

in a Collision.
This Is the story of somewhat unusual
accident. It happened on the Conduit road
one evening early in the fall, and the man
who told me about it was an eyewitness.
It is ,singularly appropriate, by the way,
that he should be an eyewitness, for he is
an ,oculist by profession; A man on BIZ
cycle was scorching cheerily along on the way
to town, when suddenly there doomed up
out of the darkness in front of him heavy
wagon and a team headed straight for him.
There was no time to turn out. The wheel
crashed into the wagon pole, and the rider
was thrown completely over the horses, fall
ing between them and the wagon. The ocu-
list ran to the rescue, expecting to see a
limp mass of bleeding and unconscious hui
manity. Instead, he saw kicking and
swearing person who was apparently unin-
jured. The bicycle was Chinese puzzle of
twisted wire.
Are you hurt" asked the oculist.
The swearing person picked himself up
and stopped swearing. He gazed at what
had once been fair young bicycle.
"Hurt!" he said in tone Of deepest dis.
gust. Hurt? Me? OF course ain t hurt.

when the parlor door opened, and a
man stepped in on whom I had never
set my eyes before. He was pale, tai
lowy creature, wanting two fingers on
the left hand; and, though he wore a
cut1ass, he did not look much like a
fighter. I had always my eyes open
for seafaring men, with one leg or two,
and I remember this one puzzled me.
He was not sailorly, and yet he had a
smack of the sea about him, too.
I asked him what was for his service,
and he said he would take rum;
but as was going out of the room to
fetch it he sat down upon a table and

CHAPTER II.

BLACK DOG APPEARS AND DIsAP-

It was not long after this that there
occurred the first of the mysterious
events that rid us at last of the captain,
though not, as you will see, of his af-
fairs. It was bitter, cold winter, with
long, hard frosts and heavy gales; and
it was plain from the first that my poor
father was little likely to see the
spring. He sunk daily and my mother

paying much regard to our unpleasant

captain had risen earlier than usual,
and set out down the beach, his cutlass
swinging under the broad skirts of
the old blue coat, his brass telescope
under his arm, his hat tilted back upon
his head. remember his breath hang
ing like smoke in his wake as he strobe
off, and the last sound I heard of him,
as he turned the big rock, was loud
