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,
tle SupercargO, describes a sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the
1Adustry's guns. In the fray Capt. Houth-
vick and one of the crew are killed, but the
Industry is found to be little damaged.
Gellinger , first mate, takes charge and
puts into Sidmouth to secure a new mate.
Several days later, when well out to sea.
an English merchantmen is met, whose
captain has a 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 commission
to take Panama. One night little later,
the English vessel having proceeded on her
course, bit of paper is slipped into Ar
dick 8 hand by one of the sailors This is
found to be a warning of a mutiny plot
headed by Pradey, the new mate. Ardick
cOnSultS Mr.. lynn. They resolve to secure
the mate, but Pradey, eavesdropping in the
cabin, makes through the dorr and arOuses
the crew. Capt. Sellinger joins Ardick 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 man
age the boat Pradey decides to scuttle and
desert the vessel, taking his men off in the
only available boat. The captain, super
cargo and second mate soon discover their
plight, but hastily constructing a raft bet
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 thecrew, being
told they viii be sold as slaves on reaching
Panama. The ships cook they find TO be

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 a figure
dangling from the yard arm. whom they
suppose is Capt Sellinger Hailing the buc-
cancer, 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 con-
corning the mutiny he headed. The Black
Eagle, Pradey's ship, comes to Chagre,
Cuba, which town they find Morgan has
taken under the English flag. From her
the Black Eagle with Morgans fleet pro-
ceeds to Panama. The command consists
of about 200 men Having landed, they
march on to the city. The assault on the
city is begun. Many of the buccaneers fall,
and Ardick is wounded. Through the smoke
he sees Pradey approaching The city at
last falls. Ardick, coming to, finds lynn

He lost no more time, but led us
hastily to n rear chamber, where he
threw open the door. Two ladies were
within, who quickly rose.
The shutters of thS windows were
open, for the room looked out on an

brought out everything clearly.

The Ponc and the King.

It is not probable that the following
from the letter of an American in the
early sos is entirely authentic: "At
sunset we reached Gaeta. This place
abounds in historical interest, and it is
here that the pope found refuge when
he fed from the republic in 1S4@.
Among the stories OF the place is one to
the effect that the pope and the king
Of Naples, who had come to visit him
in exile, went on board an American

A COUNTS VISION.
Remarkable Instance of TeIegraPhic
PerceptiOn-FOretel
Tragedy.
ITO BE Continued

1 can vouch for the truth of the fol
lowing interesting case of clairvoy
ance: On August u a young man
named Livio Cibrario, belonging to enc
of the most ancient families of Turin,
while attempting to climb the peak Of
Rocciamelone, in the Maritime Alps,
lost his way, and on the following
morning a search party found his body,
terribly crushed and bruised, at the
bottom of a deep crevasse.
Count Cibrario, the unfortunate
young mans father. who was at Turin,
and knew nothing of his sons eXpedi-
ton to the ROcciamelOne. on the night
of the accident aroused the rest of the
family, announcing with tears that
1.-TWO was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly, he said, blood flowing from his
battered head, and had heard these
words spoken in a voice Of terrible an
guish:
Father, 1 slipped down a precipice
and broke my head, and L am dead
quite dead"
The other members of the family
tried in vain to persuade the poor
count that the CHASTITY vision was
nothing but a nightmare, and the be-
reaved father continued in a state of
anxiety bordering upon distraction till
the morning, when the official confir-
nation of the terrible accident
reached him.
This case of telepathy, or whatever
name may be given to similar phe
nomena, is considered all the more re-

why They All Bowed.

At an ancient church at Valsbol, in
Russia, it has been customary for the
congregation to turn to blank wall
and bow reverently before leaving the
church. Why they did this nobody
knew except that their forefathers had
done so. and had handed down the Gus.
tom. In making some repairs recently
the origin of the custom was dicoveredj
for beneath many layers of whitewasfl
and paint picture was found of the
Virgin Mary, which must have stood
out brilliantly on the wall five or six
centuries ago.

it, and l noticed that the door was a
very strong affair and in height and
bigness was sufficient for little

twice, when the door was slowly
opened and an old negro put out his
head.
"All's well, Tonic. These are the
friends l went to seek"
The old fellow looked at us a little
suspiciously, thought, but without
objection stood aside.
These quarters" said the captain,
turning to us, belong to Don Enrique
de Cavodilla. You recall him, 1 think"
We readily did so, for he was one of
the grandees of the Pilanca.

used me very well, am somewhat be-
holden to him. Yet even more would

bella, and to his niece, Senorita Car

hurry"

gladly help you" Mac Ivrach and 1
also heartily assented.

at once as the old Spaniard.
He was tall, spare, erect man, with
plenty of gray in his beard and hair,
but in bearing still in his strength and
prime. He was dressed in the sad
colored velvet of the ship, with the
ruffles and other finery.
GO on, Ardick, and tell him how
matters stand,' said Sellinger; Il am
still without a hold on the rascally
Spanish"

the foot of the stairs, Capt. Sellinger

hidalgo with the deepest heartiness.
"Sancta Maria, senior! never heard

mounted the stairs.

CHAPTER XIV@CoNTINUED.

At daybreak the trumpets were
blown, and the companies assembled
under their respective leaders. Break
fast was hastily eaten, no delays being
made for cookery, but all taken cold,
and shortly the word was given to
march. \ little before this we had
learned that MOrgan's plan was to pro
coed first to the governors castle,
making a stern show of warlike force
on the way, and there Morgan himself
would remain, keeping with him %
men. and the rest were to scatter and
plumber and ravage at will. Certain
rules, however, were to be observed,
one being that all must deposit their
spoil in the hall of the castle, where
it should remain till the final decision;
another was that prisoners-that IS,
slaves-were to remain the property
of those who seized them. If, never
theless, it was added, any desired to
bring their slaves to the castle. having
a mind to sell them there, they could
do so, and such slaves should be guard
ed and cared for till their disposal.
The sun was creeping up and the
breeze had fallen when at last we
caught step and set forward down the
chief street of the city. The drums
were beating spiritedly and the trum-
pets sounded thrilling blasts, and with
our soldierly array, the headpieces'
cuirasses and musket barrels flashing
in the sun, thought we presented
fine and altogether awning spectacle.
The place was deathly quiet. Every
house was closed, and as. far as we
could see down the street not person
was in sight. Still we Travelled along
and at last, just as was wondering at
the extent of this part of the city, the
street ended, and we broke out into
considerable square, or plaza. Here
the buildings were large and Of more
apretentious sort than any we had yet
seen. All were of stone, some or
brown or reddish color, and some OF
common stone we'll set in red cement,
out few were above three stories IN
height. The roofs of all were fiat, and
most had low parapets, on which stood
pots of bright flowers or handsome
shrubs, and the walls of some were
nearly covered with climbing green
cry. Like the street we had left, the
plaza was completely deserted, the
shutters of every building around be-
ing up.
