The war with Mexico is part of our

Davis and Lee came out of it immortal.
The epic Of thai great struggle was
the stOrming o. Chapultepec. That
browning fortress was the Gibraltar

impregnable But American daring
halted at no obstacles, and an intrepid
band of volunteers was chosen to scale
and assault it.
Among the first of the dauntless few
who braved their way through shot

handsome as Alcibiades, proud, conf
dent and thrilling with patriotic fer
vor. He was among the first, if not the
first, to scale the wall, and, sword in
hand, dashed along that storm-swept
rampant in advance of all his fellows
to cut down the waving flag of the
enemy and reap the Immortality of the
deed. He was the first to reach the
flag; his sword was raised, when he
heard swift footsteps behind him. He
paused, turned, and saw his command

attached and deeply obligated.
And then this gallant Mississippian
without Il moments hesitation, with
the bow of a Chesterfield, lowered his
sword, and with the point at rest
stood aside while his friend and com

Mexico and was bulletined for the
laurels of that splendid day.

SYNOPSIS.

Master Ardick, just reached his majority
and thrown upon his own resources, after
stating his case to one Houthwick, a ship
master, is shipped as second mate on the
Industry, bound for Havana. Mr.. lynn,
the SupercargO, describes d sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the
lndustry's guns. In the fray one Of the
crew is killed and Houthwicl is seen %
fall. The captain IS found to be dead but
the Industry is little damaged. SclIingCr
first mate takes charge and puts into Sid
mouth to secure new mate. Several da rs
later, when well out to sea, an English
merchantmen is met, whose captain has q
letter addressed to jeremiah Hope, at
Havana. The crew OF the vessel tell
strange tales of the buccaneer Morgan,
who is sailing under the kings commits
sion to take Panama. One night a little
later, the English vessel having proceeded
on her course, 4 bit of paper is slipped int
ArdicE's hand by one of the sailors. This
is found to be a warning of a mutiny plot
headed by Pradey, the new mate. Ardicll
cOnsults Mr.. Tym. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eavesdrOppirg in
the cabin, makes through the door and
arouses the crew. Capt. Sellinger joins
ArdiclI and lynn. The crew break through
the now barricaded door, but are forced to
retire, having lost seven of their number.
Finding themselves now too short-handed
to manage the boat, Pradey decides TO scUt-
tie and desert the vessel, taking his men
off in the only available boat. The captain,
supercargo and second mate soon discover
their plight, but hastily constructing raft
get away just before their vessel sinks.
The next morning a Spaniard draws near
them. The man in the rigging shouts: IF
you would board US, take to your oars. Be
speedy, or you will fall short" On board
they are sent forward with the crew, be-
ing told they will be sold as slaves on reach
ing Panama. The ships cook they find TO
be Mac Ivrach, ''frae ClagvarlOch," so a
friend. Four days later the Spaniard is
overhauled by a buccaneer flying the Eng
lish flag. The three Englishmen and Mac
Ivrach plan to escape to the buccaneer on a
rude raft. Sellinger, the last to attempt TO
leave the Spaniard, is disabled Just after
the others put off they see figure dangling
from the yard arm, whom they suppose is
Capt Sellinger. Hailing the buccaneer, our
three friends find themselves in the hands
of their old mate, Pradey. He treats them
kindly and offers to do them no harm if
they will but remain quiet concerning the
mutiny he headed. The Black Eagle, Pra-
dey's ship comes to Chagre, Cuba, which
town they find Morgan has taken under the
English flag. From her the Black Eagle
with Morgans feet proceeds to Panama.
In the plain before the city Morgan S
force is met by 5000 horse of the Spanish.

musketeers also made forward and
fired, and before we had proceeded 90
yards farther it seemed that not fewer
than 100 buccaneers were either slain
or wounded
This could not last. The enemy was
having it ell his own way, and unless
we could turn upon him soon he would
lay Us all dead or drive us off the field
A man in front of me swung out and
fell sidewise on the grass. A ball
struck the stock of Mac Ivrach's mus
ket, and as 1 turned my head to make
sure that Mr.. lynn was safe felt a
sharp, .spiteful rap on my own head
piece.
Paul CRADLE was little way on my
right, and he had begun to swear when
shout went up from those in front
and with great suddenness the whole
command came to halt. I saw three
or four of the captains running out
into the field, and in a moment their
several commands we're following
them, and now we were wheeled short
and faced toward the city.
A sort of growl of relief and satisfac-
ton went round, for at last this play
ing as living targets was over. We

ear. This will be the most desperate

The trumpets sounded quicker ote,
and we broke into a run.
1 could glance between the heads
in front of me and see what sort of place
we were approaching. Five or six little
huts stood out in front, some paddocks
or cattle yards ran along in the rear,
and still back of these was a long. low
stone building. The fiat roof of this
was mounted with cannon, and behind
| the rails of the padd0cks were the
crouching figures OF soldiers. \ troop
Of horse was drawn up at the right
of the long building.

straight forward. Then the enemy's

for Mr.. lynn. He was not to be seen.
Mac Ivrach was a few PAGES away, and
! through the smoke were some other IA
miliar figures. I hesitated, being filed
with lively anxiety concerning the SUI
percargo, and while I delayed the last
of my companions passed on. Iglanced
hastily about, not really caring to be
abandoned, and at that moment felt
a sudden and strange shock. l per-

the fervor of the sun that the move
ment was performed slowly, and with
a general mien of listlessness. At last
1t was completed, and then little com
pany was to be seen at short intervals,
with guards walking between, and at
one point Morgan's headquarters, with
body Of two or three score in attend
ance. Mac Ivrach had been summoned
to take his place with the other guards,
leaving Mr.. lynn and me together
Why this latter arrangement was
made we did not then learn.
About nightfall Mac Irrach re-
turned, having been relieved, and then
we were told that Phibbert had been
chosen captain in place of Pradey, and
that it was to his good nature that we
owed Mr.. Iym's exemption from guard
duty.
Night finally drew on and the watch
fires of the guards were lighted. The
moon had not yet risen, and the mount
ing flames, driven presently by a wind
from the sea, f1ared up with land
warn slant, ana partially obScured
with clouds of smoke the white walls
of the outlying houses. In the direc-
ton Of the harbor there was a pale
radiance, showing where the ships, and
doubtless the quays, had been set off
with prudent lights. The city itself
was nearly quiet. Now and then dog
parked or horse could be heard gal
Looping along hard street, and once a
bell rang and we heard the faint, sweet
sounds of a chant, as it might be the
| priests were tunefully asking mercy OF
God but there were few other sounds
through the night than these.

Mac Ivrach near at hand. The others
had made a dash after the flying Span

Nv two companions, like myself

were more fortunate than 20 or so OF
our mates. Nine or ten of these were
killed outright. and the others were
doubled up with pain or sitting about

The smoke gradually thinned out,
and looked toward the city. L saw
the Spaniards slowly but doggedly re-
treating, stopping at intervals to
wheel and fire a desultory volley. Our
advance men were at their heels, but
did not pursue far, for. having taken
five or six prisoners, they let go part

Morgan now harangued us briefly

within our reach, and that we had but
to put forth one more effort to secure
it. This speech being we'll received, he
