BY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
CContinued From Yesterday.)

Redruth retreated from his place in the gallery and dropped into the boat, which we had brought round to the ships counter, to be handler for Capt. Smollett.
 ''Now, men," said he, do you hear me?"
 There was no answer from the fore castle.
 Its to you. Abraham Gray-it's to you I am speaking"
 Still no reply.
 Gray" resumed MT. Smollett, little louder, "I am leaving this ship. and l order you to follow your captain. I know you are good man at bottom, and I dare say not one of the lot of you's as bad as he makes out. l have my watch here in my hand; give you 30 seconds to join me in.''
 There was q Ta1se.
 Come. my fine fellow" continued the captain. don't hang so long in stays I'm risking my life. and the lives of these good gentlemen, every second"
 There was sudden scuffle. sound Of blows. and out burst Abraham Gray with knife cut on the side Of the cheek, and came running 10 the captain, like a dog to the whistle.
 I'm with you. sir" said he.1s
 And the next moment he and the cap tain had dropped aboard Of us..and we had showed eff and given way. S
 We were clear cut of the ship, but not yet ashore in our stockade.

took the voices of the buccaneers rang nearer. Soon we could hear their footsteps as they ran, and the crack ing of the branches as they breasted across q bit of tllicl1et.
 I began to see we should have brush for it in earnest, and looked to my prim- ing.
 Captain, said I, E'Trelawney is the dead shot. Give him your gun: his own is useless
 They exchanged guns, and Trelaw- ney, silent and cool as he had been since the beginning of the hustle, hung q mo- mcnt on his heel to see that all was fit for service. At the same time, ob- serving Gray to be unarmed, handed him my cutlass. It did all our hearts good to see him spit on his hand, knit his brows. and make the blade sing through the air. It was plain from every line of his body that (our new hand was worth his salt.
 Forty paces further we came to the edge of the wood and saw the stockade in front of us. We struck the inclos- ure about the middle of the south side. and. almost at the same time seven mu- tineers-Job Anderson, the boatswain, at their head. appeared in full cry at the southwestern corner.
 They paused, as if taken aback, and before they could recover not only the squire and l, but Hunter and Joyce from the block-house had time to fire. The four shots came in rather scat tering volley; but they did the busi- ness: one of the enemy actually fell. and the rest, without hesitation, turned and plunged into the trees.

know. It's not them I mind; it's tht round shot. Carpet bowls! My lady. maid couldn't miss. Tell us, squire when you see the match and we'll holo water"
 In the meanwhile we had been mak ing head1vay at q good pace for boa so overloaded, and We had shipped but little water in the process. We were now clCse in; 30 Or 40 strokes and we should beach her; for the ebb had al ready disclosed narrow belt of sanC below the clustering trees. The gig was no longer to be feared; the little point had already concealed it from oul eyes, The ebb-tide, which had SC cruelty delayed us. was now making reparation, and delaying our assail- ants. The one source of danger was the gun.
 If l durst," said the captain, "Fd stop and pick off another man."
 But it was plain that they meant nothing should delay their shot. They had never so much as looked at their fallen comrade, though he was not dead, and l could see him trying to crawl away.
 "Readyi'' cried the squire.
 "HoldH' cried the captain, quick as an echo.
 And he and Redruth backed with a great heave that sent her stern bodily under water The report fell in at the same instant of time This was the first that Jim heard, the sound of the squire's shot not having reached him. When the ball passed, not one of us precisely knew; but I fancy it must have been over our heads, and that the wind of it may have contributed to our disaster.
 At any rate, the boat sunk by the stern, quite gently. in three feet of wa ter, leaving the captain and myself, facing each other, on our feet. The other three took complete headers, and came up again, drenched and bubbling.
 So far there was no great harm. No lives were lost, and we, could wade ashore in safety. But there were all cur stores in the bottom, and. to make things worse, only two guns out of five remained in q state for service. Mine 1 had snatched from my knees and held over my head, by q sort of instinct. As for the captain, lie had carried his over his shoulder by bandoleer, and, like wise man, lock uppermost. The three had gone down with the boat. To add to our concernfwe heard voices already drawing near us in the woods along shore; and we had not Cnly the danger Of being cut off from the stock adc in our half-crippled state. but the fear before us. whether if Hunter and Joyce were attacked by half dozen they would have the sense and conduct to stand firm. Hunter was steady, that we knew; Joyce was a doubtful case-a pleasant, polite man for valet and to brush ones clothes, but not en- tirely fitted for man-of-war.
 With all this in our minds. we waded ashore as fast as We could, leaving be- hind the poor jolly-boat, and good half of our powder and provisions.

To Convert the Farmers.


A shrewd, League member has q
scheme WHICH he thinks is great for
the purpose of winning over the farm
ers who oppose road improvement,
first, because they 90 not like to be
taxed, and, secondly, because they
dislike "them sickle fellers." There
is novelty in his idea, AMI, provided
the expense could be borne and the
proper labor devoted to working it
cut, it would probaoly be 4 success.
The plan is to find a few farmers in
every township who live on the roads
which need rebuilding and present to
each of them bicycle on condition Of
their learning to ride and then attend
ing to their instruction. Understand
ing the enthusiasm that the wheel be-
gets, the schemer argues that the few
farmers will first learn how poor their
roads are, then become good roads
converts, and finally convert their
neighborswho are oppositionists. The
argument seems to be sound one so
far as the likelihood of the few becom-
ing converts is concerned and also with
regard to the probability of their max
ing converts, but the cost, even il it
was ATTEMPTED on a limited scale,
makes ii prohibitive, unless, indeed,
some OF the manufacturers, whose
business it would greatly increase,
coald be induced to cooperate. The
scheme has not been formally pre-
sented to the League officers and there
fore is not taken seriously.-New York

Prouosei California Laws.

The next California Legislature will
have to consider several bills looking
towardroad improvement in that State.
One OF them proposes to classify the
roads - as State-highways. county.
thoroughferes and district-roaas.
Twenty eight principal roads are emu
inerated to comprise the frst-class;
the most important roads in each
county will be set apart to form the
second-c!ass and the remaining roads
to constitute the third .cisas.
Another bill provides that when FIVE
miles or more OF highway Of the first
class shall have been properly coa-
structed in any county, the State shall
accept aud maintain it and thst $780,
900 shall be appropriated fo- such
purposes for 1699-1900 and the neces-
sary sums thereafter. Existing laws
are to be amended to arrange for the
State to take possession Of roads de-
clared to be State-hishways, end for
the expenditure OF half OF the annual
road tax in constructing and maintain
ing permanent roads.

STUDY tho Cows.

Dairymen should constantly bear in
mind that the value of a dairy COW
consists in the ability to consume
food at profit, or, IN other words,
her ability to convert food into milk
ia a manner that will leave profit to
her owner. Unless you weigh and
test each cows milk and keep yourself
posted on just whst she is doing, you
can never know if she is profitable for
you to keep.
Because one COW will give more milk
or will make more butter than snoth er
is no reason that she is ths best and
most profitable Of the two, for she
may be consuming over and above the
other cow more than enough food TO
offset the difference in her production.
It is also true that small eaters are
not necessarily the profitable ones; II
jact, it is generally just the opposite:
large eaters, large producers. 1t re-
mains only for you to study yonc COWS
snl become acquainted wita their in
.:iridualities aud wants, and il so do
ing you will be able TO judge Of their
value in your dairy, putting yea in a
position to discard the uuprontaole

! GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Waste From Deficient Care.

The best roads are sometimes Sc
verely injured by very heavy storms,
but, as a rule, they do not suffer
nearly as much as either roads which
are neglected or those which are
worked" in the old-fashioned way.
1t is practically impossible to prevent
all injury in case of storms Of extraoc-
dinary severity, but proper preeau-
tons will reduce the danger to a
minimum.
There are, however, many miles Of
stone roads in this country which are
not fitted to resist heavy rainfalls be-
cause ~ the surfaces are allowed to
get rutty and to retain de2ressions
which will hold water; (2i they are
left fiat, or very nearly so. and have
insufficient crown to shed water; (3)
grass and weeds are allowed to grow
along their edges until water cannot
run off freely, and the side bitches are
not kept clean aud open, and ~ ia
places the earth at the sides is higher
than the road-bed and turns the water
upon it.
These defects are mainly due to the
impression that a stone road once laid
needs no attention for year or two,
and after that only an annual looking
oTer and perhaps scraping and few
repairs. The result is that the roads
1eteriorate very rapidly AID ere as
good as they could and should be
only for o few months when new.
This method is neither practical nor
economical; it does not keep roads il
good shape, aud it costs much more
in the end. Proper road :lainte.
nance is as important as correct con-
struction; We cannot do better than
profit by the experience Of European
countries and follow in principle if not
in detail, the thorough system OF con-
slant care and repair that has been so
highly developed in France.-L. 4.

Tillage of the Orchard,

Although there are different opin-
ions as to the amount OF ti!lage au
orchard needs. I believe that thor-
ough culture is the only satisfactory
treatment, "a it not only makes plant
food available, bat is the best con-
serrator of moisture. The crchardist
must select location ana soil adapted
to the fruits he wishes to grow and
put this in best condition before set
ting, by thorough plowing and timing.
To obtain best results, orchards need
both moisture and fertilizers, but
more often moisture. As The heaviest
rainfall usually occuss s'ieE it is 81

visable. Weeds should never be al
lowed to become established. Stir
the whole surface Of the orchard thor
oughly about three inches deep every
two weeks. The dryer the season the
oftener stirring should take place.

orchard should be titled. A careful
man can plow within two feet Of the

II catch crops are grown in the
orchards, plow them under early, so
that they will decay as quickly as pos
sible. The chief value of these crops
is for fall and winter protection and
not spring growth. Old orchard trees
stop growing before midsummer.
Vigorous tillage from then on can
cease so that new growth will ripen
sufficiently to withstand cold weather.
Fall plowiug cannot be recommended
for clay soils, as these will puddle and
become hard and stiff. Hoed crops
can be grown to advantage in young
orchards, bat even these should not
be planted close to the trees, and the
distances should become greater every
year. After six or eight years all
vigorous cropping should cease
