yise--and then he leveled his pistol at
the head OF Ned Carlton.
For moment the latter stood irres-
olute, and then, seeing the black muz-
zle of the revolver within foot OF
his head, he muttered a deep maledlc-
tion, stamped his foot with rage on the
deck, and said;
Mr., Rodney, bear a hand with me
to launch this murdered man-thls
poor fellow--overboardW
"obeyW thundered Antonio.
Like one In dream bent over the
dead man, on whose pale face, glazed
eyes and relaxed Jaw the bright moon
light was shining, and In my ex-
citement and bewllderment nearly
slipped and fell into the pool OF blood
which flowed from his death wound
had never touched a corpse before,
and an irrepressible shudder ran
through all my veins, But, that emo
tion once over could have handled
dozen with perhaps indifference; and
there are few who, after touching the
dead, have not experienced this change
of feeling.
Ned Carlton, with sound like q sob
In his honest breast-.a sob of mingled
rage and commiseration-ralsed the
yet warm body; l took the feet, and
through one OF the quarter-boards,
which was open, we launched 1t into
the great deep, and as the brig few
on, rolling before the early morning
wind, there remained no trace OF poor
VIII White, but his blood, q dark pool
upon the deck. and the crew stood
staring at 1t and at each other with
blank irresolution, horror and dlsmay
expressed In all their faces.
Empty-handed and defenseless as
we all were, each was afraid to speak
or act, lest he might be the next VIC
tim whom the merclless Cubano would
shoot down.
With a growl of defiance Antonio
now turned away, and, brandlshlng
the revolver in token OF the obedience
he meant to exact, he descended slow
ly into the cabin, where we soon heard
him smashing open the lockers, and
busy with the case-bottles In the stew
ards locker, or Billy the cabin boys
pantry.
His departure seemed a relief to all,
bat in half a minute after he was gone
below little Billy, or boy BILL" as
he was usually termed, whose Sleep
ing place was the steerage, rushed up
the cabin stair In his shirt and ran
among us, sobbing with fear and dis
may.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Conference of the Crew.

conference or the Crew,
Some time elapsed before the poor
boy became sufficiently coherent to be
understood, but 1t would seem that on
hearing the first cry which had
alarmed me, he sprang out of his
berth, which was at the foot of the
companionway, and ON looking iuto
the cabin, he saw by the night light
which swung in the skyllght the
Cubano, armed with a bloody knife,
rush from the captains state-room
into that of the mate, which was op-
poslte.
Another choking cry acquainted him
that Antonio had stabbed Hlslop In Ills
sleep; and fearing that his own turn
would come next, he had crept into on
empty cask which lay below the COM
panion-ladder, and remained there,
trembling with dread, until he took an
opportunity Of rushing on deck and
joining us.
This terrible revelation added to our
dismay,
We were now in desperate predlca-
ment, without captain or mate to
navigate the brig, and at the mercy of
well-armed desperate, to whom hon.
icide was a pastlme; thus, all who
had handled him so severely on the
night we crossed the line began to feel
no small degree of alarm for their
own safety, being certain that more
blood would be shed the moment he
came on deck.
All dressed themselves with the ut
most expedition, and 1t was resolved
to hold a council of war. Lambourne
was still at the wheel; and to be pre-
pared for any emergency, he resolved
to reduce the canvas on the brig So
the royals were taken down. all stud
ding-sails taken in, and the topsails
were handed; all this was done as
quietly as possible, lest any sound
might arouse the fiend who seemed
now to possess the Eugenle.
Lambourne ventured to peep down
the skyllght, when he saw Antonio
drinking brandy from a case bottle,
without troubling himself with
glass Then the Spaniard proceeded
to attire himself in the best clothes
of Captain Weston; he forced open
several lockfast places, and took from
them money and jewelry, which he
concealed about his person. What his
ultimate object could be in perform
ing these acts Of plunder on the open
sea, we could neither conceive nor
divine but on CHANGING to glance up
ward, he caught glimpse of Toms
eyes peering down.
There was an explosion, a crashing
of glass and a ball from a revolver,
fired upward, grazed Toms left ear
and pierced the rim of his sou'-wester
as hint that our Cubano had no in
tention of being overlooked in his op-
eratlons below.
We heard him close the cabin door
with a bang, and after locking 1t,
throw himself on the floor behind 1t,
with the intention of sleeping proba-
bly,, but with the full resolution that
no one should enter without disturb

Editor Camera:
Only few more days and the voting

Will the people see the cause of silver
get another black eye. or will they come
forward and snow the gold bugs so deep
that only July sun can uncover them?
Ii the voters think there is nc danger let
them go to Boulder and talk with the
Republicans. You will find that nineteen
out of twenty say that silver is dead is

The writer heard such remarks One, a

g.the more the better. They suited him.
The man who favored free coinage of
silver was an enemy TO Boulder county.
Such remarks in beautiful Boulder if gu
wish TO hear them. If the Republicans
elect their ticket this fall 1t will carry to
the east the impression that Colorado,
the great silver state, doesn't want silver.
This will be hedge fence placed in

with these breeders of trusts. am sat-
ished the weak ticket a few delegates
put up cannot be elected. Many of the
leaders OF the party say this. The fight
therefore. is between Mckinley Repub-

situation it is the duty of all silver par.
ties to vote the fusion ticket and prevent
the Republicans from walking into the
