CHAPTER IN.
POWDER AND ARMS.


The Hispaniola lay some way out,
and we went under the figureheads and
round the sterns of many other ships.
and their cables sometimes grated be-
meath our keel and sometimes swung
above us. At last. however, we swung
alongside and were met and saluted as
we stepped aboard by the mate, Mr.,
Arrow. brown old sailor, with ear
rings in his ears and a squint. He and
the squire were very thick and friendly,
but | soon observed that things were
not the same between Mr.. Trelawney
and the captain.
The last was a sharp-loolling man
who seemed angry with everything on
board. and was soon to tell us why, for
we had hardly got down into the cabin
when a sailor followed us.
Capt. Smollett. sir, axing to speak
with you" said he.
II am always at the captains or
dcrs. Show him in" said the squire.
The captain. who was close behind
his messenger, entered at once and shut
the door behind him.
well, SIR" said the captain, better
speak plain, believe, at the risk of
offense. don't like this cruise; don't
like the men, and don't like my officer.
That's short and sweet"
Perhaps, sir, you don't like the
ship" inquired the squire. very angry,
as l could see.
'Ic1n't speak as to that, sir, not hav-
ing seen her tried" said the captain
'SheEeems a clever craft; more cant
say.
possibly, sir, you may not like your
employer, either?" says the squire.
But here DIR. Livesey-cut in.
"Stay bit" said he. "stay bit. Nc

duce iE feeling, The captain has said
too much or he has said too little. and
I'm bound to say that require an ex
PLANTATION of his words. You don't, yor
say. like the cruise. Now, why?"

my own hands, mind you. Now, treas

like them, above all, when they ar,

"Silver's parrot?" asked the squire.

"Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle Of rum!"

"Yo-ho-ho, and bottle of rum!"
And at the third "ho!" drove the bars
before them with will.
Even at that exciting moment it car
ried me back to the old Admiral Ben
bow in a second; and l seemed to hear
the voice of the captain piping in the
chorus. But soon the anchor was short
up; soon it was hanging dripping at
the bows; soon the sails began to draw,
and the land and shipping to fit by on
either side; and before could lie down
to snatch an hour of slumber the His
PAMELA" had begun her voyage to the
Isle of Treasure.
l am not going to relate the voy-
age in detail. 1t was fairly prosperous.
The ship proved to be good ship, the
crew were capable seamen, and the
captain thoroughly understood his
business. But before we came the
length of Treasure Island, two or three
things had happened which require to
be known.
Mr.. Arrow, first of all, turned out
even worse than the captain had feared.
He had no command among the men,
and people did what they pleased with
him. But that was by no means the
worst of it; for after a day or two at
sea he began to appear on deck with
hazy eye, red cheeks, suffering tongue.
and other marks of drunkenness. Time
after time he was ordered below in dis
grace. Sometimes he fell and cut him.

in his little bunk at one side of the
companion; sometimes for day OF
two he would be almost sober and at.
tend to his work at least passably.
In the meantime, we could never
make out where he got the drink. That
was the ships mystery. Watch him as
we pleased, we could do nothing to solve
it; and when we asked him to his face
he would only laugh, if he were drunk
and if he were sober, deny solemnly
that he ever tasted anything but
water.
He was not only useless as an officer
and bad influence amongst the men
| but it was plain that at this rate he
must soon kill himself outright; sc
nobody was much surprised, nor very
sorry, when one dark night, with ;
head sea, he disappeared entirely anc
was seen no more.
"Overboard!" said the captain. well
gentlemen, that saves the trouble Of
putting him in irons"
But there we were, without mate
and it was necessary, of course, to ad

Matrimonial Item,

Gilhooly applied to matrimonial
agency for companion, and the gentle
man in charge said:
I've got just the kind of a woman
you want. She is tall and slender. love-
ly blue eyes. golden hair, and beauti-
full complexion. Her figure"
Now you are getting down to bust
ness at last. How much is her figure?"

Position.
the cage.
[To BE CONTINUED

The old senator was a great story
teller and related many interesting and
humorous accounts of what he had seen
in public life. One of his favorite
stories was at the expense of Senator
Fessenden, a warm personal friend.
The judge and Senator Fessenden had
been appointed on a commission with
several others to treat with the various
chiefs of the Sioux nation on an impor-
tant Indian question of the day. TWAS
long before railways had been intro
duced into the far west, and the men,
bers of the commission had to travel on
horseback. Judge Doolittle was chair
man of the commission, but at the con-
ference shifted that duty to the Shout
ders of Senator Fessenden. The latter
was highly pleased at the honor con-
ferred on him and much "puffed up in
consequence. The judge had method
in his madness, however, for he had
heard of the peculiar reception ten
dered by the Indians to the spokesman
of any party of visiting whites.
At the appointed time the two par
ties to the conference congregated.
There were probably 200 Indian chiefs
present with their wives. Senator Fes-
sender advanced to do the honors for
the commissioners, when to his dsmay
the whole body of Indians-squaws and
all-advanced. and, after embracing the
chairman, gave him, according to their
custom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doc
little often said he thought that Fes-
sender never quite forgave him for the
trick.-Boston Herald.
