when seated on her favorite thorough

horses almost ever since she can re-

kicked and bitten by horses, thrown
out OF buggies and had divers other OK

Mrs. Benson says, in discussing the
difficulties which confront girls just be-

being a good rider, think, lies In not
being afraid of your horse. This is the
one great essential, but there are some
other things just as necessary to know. |

CHAPTER XXvuI.
THE END or tbs CONTEST.


1t was Captain Fox's boast that he
never permitted himself to be taken by
surprise. But he was certainly eur
prised now.
He could not credit his eyes and ears
when he saw the Sea Hawk graphing
with the Wanderer, and heard the shot
that came from the signal gun crashing
through the hull Of his own ship.
Quick brain ed, he took in the danger,
and his first thought was that one of the
men he had sent on board the Sea Hawk
had betrayed him. In no other way, he
was sure, could his personality and
schemes be detected.
But there was no time for guessing;
no ttmo for anything but 10 shake off
the foe that had swooped down on him
and fastened her sharp talons in his
sido In a death grip.
So well trained were his men that
they threw off their jack cts, tore the
pixies from the racks, and rushed to
their posts while yet the shrill whistle
Of the boatswain was piping all hands
to quarters.
The Wanderer was always ready for
action; her guns were shotted at all
times. and never left unloaded except
when the charges were drawn to clean
them.
Now the great gun amidship turned
her muzzle to the neck OF the Sea
Hawk, and its fiery breath blazed
through the shrouds o; both ships.
The fifteen broad ide guns were run
out until they touched the b,ac side OF
the Sea Hawk, ose 10 the water line,

Both ships were badly shattered. and
Captain Denham, with the eye Of a true
sailor, saw the necessity Of GETTING
them to the quiet waters while the wind
and tide were favorable.
He gave the order to clear the decks.
The pirate dead were put in weighted
hammocks, ana dropped overheard. and
the wounded were cared for as well az
those Of the Sea Hawk.

the command of the Sea Hawk. would
have ordered up the anchors, as Ralph
had done on the Wanderer. had not the
attention Of all been attracted by sig
nas from the shore.
Through his telescope, Ralph Den
ham saw Doctor Hedges and his com.
panions crowding down on the beach of
Gardner's Island, and he took in the
situation.
Doctor Hedges hal witnessed the
tight between the ships, and his firm be.
lief was that Lea was killed at the first
fire; and he felt, 10 the end OF the con-
test, until he saw Fox making for the
shore near by, that the pirate must win.

taken on board the two ships.

At length the Doctor rose, and. ex.

accents.
