and the captain seemed too Indifferent

were presently drawn along till we
were near amidships, where, indeed, we
might make shift to scramble up. This
we did, first tying on our backs such
articles of value as we cared to pre-

ordered the ship put upon her course.
He then turned back to US, and from
his cold and rather stern expression

He looked at me coldly, yet with some
curiosity, and after a brief glance at
my companion, said IN choice Spanish:

you come upon the raft?"

without pause.

1t best to out with the truth.

He smiled in grim fashion.
AYE, senior, such was my thought of
the matter. They have gone to join
that child of perdition, doubtless, and
some good Spanish blood may be shed
in consequence. What think you," he
went on, looking at me fiXedIy, "shall

1 began to think that we had fallen
out of the frying pan into the fire, for

The hidalgo nodded, but l could not

stood where he had left me, trying to
grasp the full purport of what had be-
fallen. Cast into slavery, and by the
people of a Christian nation! What
worse would it have been had we fallen

aroused from this overwhelmed state
by the voice of Mr.. Tym, and, turning
about, acquainted both him and the
captain with what had passed.

mate, takes charge and puts into Sidmouth
to secure a new mate. Several days later,
when well out to sea, an English merchant
man is met, whose captain has letter ad-
dressed to jeremiah Hope, at Havana.
The crew of the vessel tell strange tales
of the buccaneer Morgan, who is sailing
under the kings commission to take Pana-
ma. One night little later, the English
vessel having proceeded on her course,
bit of paper is slipped into ArdlCk's hand
by one of the sailors. This is found to be
warning of a mutiny plot headed by Pra-
dey, the ne wmate. Ardick conSults Mr..
Tym. They resolve to secure the mate, but
Pradey eavesdropping in the cabin, makes
through the door and arOuses the crew.
Capt. Sellinger joins Ardick and Tym. The
crew break through the now barrlcaded
door, but are forced to retire, having lost
seven of their number. Finding them
selves now too short-handcd to manage the
boat Pradey decides to Scutue and desert
the vessel, taking his men off in the only
available boat. The captain, supercarSo
and second mate soon discover their plight,
but hastily constructing a raft get away
just before their vessel sinks.

is practically a stone cement, as hard

BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN.
She Got Away with the Oysters Hut
Not in the Usual MAN.


A young girl from the state of Washing
ton who came east to visit western SEN
ator's family last winter had an experience
she hasn't forgotten yet. The first few days
of her stay in the capital were spent there,
and her meals were sent to her room. On
the very first evening she ordered oysters
for dinner. Now, she knew nothing of
real, life sized oyster, having spent all her
days on the Pacific coast, where oysters are
not oysters at all, but something altogether
different. She was young and exceedingly
inexperienced, and she said to the waiter:
Bring me 80 oysters"
The waiter gasped.
"ls that all?" he said.
"Oh, no, she answered, cheerfully. Bring
newell, dinner too
She says herself that she had to shut her
eyelids tight to keep her eyes from pop
ping clear out of her head when she saw the
so oysters
Isn't that more than 5O?' she asked.
"No, miss" answered the waiter. Shall
l take some away?" and he grinned 1t
was the grin that did it. Her western
blood rose at it.
No. she, said, coolly. ITS not too
many. I'm hungry"
She locked the door after the astonished
waiter, and opened the window. 1t was a
dark night, but she could see the roofs of
the adjoining houses almost within arms
reach beneath her window. Only a narrow
alley separated the buildings She took a
fork, and deftIy and dexterously, one by
one, she flung the oysters far as she could.
She could hear them fall MOSTLY, softly, fab
billy upon the roof opposite. When the
waiter returned, two oysters lay on her
plate. His eyes rolled wonderingy at her
''Was-was the oysters good?" he asked,
and he did not grin.
Fairly good" she made answer, calmly;

o come, my love, and walk with me
Through the orchards leafy ways,
And hear the song of bird and bee
We heard in other days,
When all the world was good and kind,
When hearts were warm and true,
And the narrowest path our feet could find
Was wide enough for two.
Once more Wen Ssrp a loving tryst
Beneath the banding boughs,
Where first your maiden lips were kissed,
And first we breathed our VOWS.
There where with beating heart you came
To greet me at the bars,
And, waiting, L would speak your name,
And spell 1t in the stars.
Time sprinkles frost upon our heads,
But loves eternal youth
Dwells in each happy breast and sheds
The beauty born of truth.
And heart to heart and lip to lip
Wen breath our VOWS divine,
Till in the last long sleep you slip
Your loving hand in mine.

"A wonderful case of skin grating is

Wis. BY the upsetting of lamp his
father was burned to death and, in his
efforts to save his father, the younger
Crowley had the flesh burned from one
of his arms. He was taken to the hos
pital, and as the means of saving the
arm and perhaps his life, DR.. Connell
informed his patient that he must take
skin from his lower limbs for grating
his arm. The patient was placed under
the influence of morphine, and for
nearly two hours the operation was in
progress. Pieces of skin an eighth of
an inch in width and from a foot to a
foot and a quarter in length were taken
from his legs and used on the arm
After ten days the patient was declared
out of danger, and the arm, which was
