man and I sat down to the oars. We
were in no case for hard work, but de-
sired to be making a start, it being
uncertain, indeed, how long this IA
voring calm would hold.
Though we were so near the surface
of the water, and therefore COM
manded no great. range of distance, it
seemed long time that we were drop
ping the buccaneer. But at last we
sank his hull and then his lower sails
and finally the topgallants dwarfed to
an insignificant speck on the sea line.
The day was by this time nearly spent.
and the even reds of the tropic sum
set began to flush the west. A fair
weather paleness of blue appeared
above these colors, and the sky COM
ing down to it darkened without
clouds. presaging stars and calm as
on the previous nights.
We were near enough now, as
thought, to make out the coast, and /
asked Mac 1vrach to give over rowing
while took an observation I proved
to be right. for distinct on the eastern
boundary was dark. well-marked
line.
By this time the Scotchman and I
were pretty weary-he. indeed, hardly
able to wag the heavy oar-and pro-
posed a short rest. Mr.. lynn and the
captain offered to spell US. but OBJ
jected-I was specially mindful of Mr..
Tym's infrmity and of his present
state, which must make the task too
great-and in the end the sloop was
suffered to drift.
My companions now had an oppor-
tunity to see to their wounds, and it
was found that Mr.. Tym's long cut and
the cash over the captains ear needed
a few stitches. Luckily Mac Ivrach
had housewife, and though it was
now nearly dark 1 got out thread and
needle and managed to do rough job
of surgery.
This ended, we concluded to have
supper, there being no immediate dam
ger and we standing in need of refresh
ment after what we had been through.
Mac Ivrach accordingly got out the
provisions and opened bottle of wine,
and we fell to, our appetites not seem
ingly much affected by our trying ex-
perience. While we were eating ! de-
sired Mr.. lynn to tell me how he had
escaped from CRADLE; likewise what
had given the buccaneers their final
fright, causing them to quit the boat
"a very short story" he answered.
1T might almost be summed up by say
ing that our friend CRADLE was care
less. You see, he flung me to the deck
and drew his knife, having dropped his
sword as he closed, and bent over me
to end my troubles. I, as it CHANGED.

he thoughtlessly stopped over
reached up and did that for him he
had intended to do for me-. Then one
of the other fellows made toward me,
and just at the moment the captain
rose and charged them in the rear.
The man about to fall upon me pulled
up, and 1 fetched a scramble and
gained my feet. With that the three
fellows lost heart and jumped over
board. That is the whole bigness of
the matter, except that have forgot
ten to say that Paul Cradle showed
further his inconsiderateness by fetch
ing such jump, as prodded him, that
he fell overheard. cannot be certain,
therefore, whether killed him or he
drowned"
"Well, and certainly it was a great
escape" I said, with long breath.
"Aye, and very like for US all, for had
you not dispatched CRADLE there is no
saying what would have happened. I
fear Mac Ivrach and I would have APP
peared too late on the scene. and
the captain was dangerously over
matched"

Health In Large Cities.

The physical health of many modern
ci Ges has been immensely improved
by careful, systematic attention to
sanitation During the greater part
of the last century the death rate in
London was about so per 1000 each
year. It had decreased to 24.U in 1850
and fell to 17.7 per 1000 last year.
though the population of the city has
doubled during that time. The death
rate in London is now only little
larger than in rural districts of Eng
land.-Chicago Chronicle.

weakness in firearms and the too great

to hamper one another at the last and

worse. I then persuaded the senorita
to GO to her cabin, promising to call
her il there were an alarm, which
done, we arranged the watches, and all
but Mr.. lynn, who had the first, turned
in.
The night passed quietly. About
sunrise a little breeze brought a
wrinkle on the water, and we ran up
our sail. By six of the clock we had
way enough on the boat to exceed our
speed with the oars. and with this we
were very well satisfied We drove
along lightly that day. getting a little
more wind in the afternoon. still from
the right quarter. and by nightfall
reckoned that we had made some FIVE
