scott, sit down" said the old miner.
II can see by your face what you read
in mine. have no time to waste. I'm
a dying man, Scott. Something has
given out inside and my time is up.
Don't interrupt me, please. l must tell
you something while have time"
He paused an instant to press his
hand to his side, saying:
"When that hit me some thing snapped
in here. think a rib is sticking into
my lungs. Take off my belt, Scott.
Hurry up! Don't stop to ask questions
now!"
Tom obeyed, and with trembling
fingers the dying man drew forth a
folded bit of paper, whispering:
"1t's yours, and it means fortune
to you! Get me pen and paper and
then write what tell you'll"
His request was soon complied with,
and with faint voice he dictated:
II, John Avery, being about to die,
give my share in the gold mine discov-
cred by my partner, Dick Reed, to the
bearer, Thomas Scott. who has risked
his life for mine twice."
When this unique will was on paper
he added:
"Give me the pen. There needn't be
any witnesses. Dick Reed knows my fist,
and he's as square as die. This paper is
q map to tell me how to reach the mine.
It's secret trail leads to it, and only
three men know of it. You will be rich
if you live to reach it. Trust no one,
but go by yourself. Take the money in
my belt, too, and use it as you please.
You may find my brother Bill at the
mine. He was sent for, too. You'll get
my share"
A violent fit of coughing interrupted
him, and before it ended the handker-
chief he pressed to his lips was stained
with his life blood.
Tom hastily summoned the captain,
scious state, and before morning Tom
was the only living occupant of the lit
tie stateroom.
But behind the thin partition which
separated it from the mates room sat
that worthy himself with look of tri-
umph on his evil face.
"There were no witnesses, and what
is to prevent my being Mr.. Tom Scott
and becoming mine owner" he nut.
tered to himself. 81 must have that pa
per if 1 have to kill him to getit!"
On the following day the remains of
the old miner were consigned to the
deep, and as Tom saw the weighted
canvas disappear beneath the blue wa
tiers, his grief outweighed every other
sentiment and drove all thoughts of his
inheritance from his head. He had
grown to love the rugged old man like
a brother, and it was the first time be
had been brought face to face with
death.
That night as he was about to retire,
he remembered the slip of paper given
The Irish standard., 1899-06-17
Yhe next moment he mad stolen sott-

The next moment he had stolen SOFT
ly down the cabin stairs, entered Toms
room and tried the lid OF the chest.
To his surprise it was not locked, and
there on top, half hidden by the sleeve
of an old coat, lay John Avery's belt be-
fore him. His fingers trembled as with
feverish haste he pulled it open, and
then a furious oath came through his
bristling beard.
The belt was empty!
A rapid search convinced him that
the object he sought was not in the
chest, and hastily rearranging the arti-
cles as he had found them he closed
the lid and stepped out of the room to
meet Capt. Coffin face TO face in the
narrow passage.
what are you doing in there?" de-
manded the latter.
"We're going to wash decks and the
portfolio was open," he stammcred. II
just stepped down 10 close it,"
Whatever comment the old skipper
was about to make was interrupted by
the man aloft, who again gave that long
drawn out, indescribable cry, so dear to
the sailors heart:
Land ho!"
The captain forgot everything else
instantly and sprang on deck at once,
exclaiming:
cts the Golden Gate or I'm lub-
Der! I've made a record passage this
time for the old bark! We're only 90
days from Boston and We'll keep it
down to two figures if the wind holds
and have a day to spare! Slap the
canvas on her, Mr.. Rider! There's let
tiers and fresh grub waiting for US over
the starboard bow! Sweat her for all
she's WORTH"
His orders were promptly obeyed,
and as Tom reached the deck and came
aft the captain added:
"We'll soon be ashore, Mr.. Scott. If
my reckoning's right, that is the en-
trance to Frisco harbor and we ought
to be tied up alongside the dock to-
night. You've never been there, have
you?"
Tom replied in the negative and the
captain continues:
SWELL, see here. I don't know how
you're fixed, but I always live aboard
when I'm in port. It's cheaper and I
keep good cook by her. If you like
you can stay with me and it won't cost
you red. I've made rafting trip
and you are welcome"
"Thanls you," said Tom. "I'll do so
until start north. l shall be glad to
have familiar face with me. This is
my first trip, you know
"He's going to live aboard" chuckled
obed Rider, who was standing close by,
sand it'll be queer if he doesn't run into
trouble coming down through Tar flat
some dark night. Things are coming
my way all right. The fool must carry
that paper somewhere about him and
can easily find some one to help me
in the job"
Without the slightest suspicion OF
what was passing in the mates mind
Tom watched him busting about the
deck and congratulated himself that in
a short time he would see the last OF
the red-faced sailor who had brought
the only faint of disgrace into his life
Early that evening the Seabird was
anchored in the magnificent harbor OF
San Francisco, and the long voyage was

CHAPTER HOODWINKED,

CHAPTER HOODWINKED,
And now the roar of the storm could
be heard as the line of foam swept on
over the darkened sea with frightful
velocity. Louder and louder came the
noise, and the surface of the water be-
hind the advancing line was like vast
sheet of snow fattened down by the
force of the wind. ~.
Nearer and nearer came the CHASTITY
line, while every man stood, at his post
in silence. Suddenly the captain
roared:
"Hard up your wheel! Hard up!"
The two men who grasped the spokes
had barely time to obey the order when,
with shrek of wind and rush of boil
ing water, the white line struck the
bark and pressed her over until the
yards touched the surface to leeward.
The storm staysail and maintopsail
were rent to ribbons, but the head sail
held, and, as the stanch bark slowly
righted, this caused her to pay slowly
off, and she gathered Roadway at the
same time. Slowly at first and then
with increasing speed she bounded
along before the hurricane.
And now the sea began to rise in all
its majesty. The masses of water
swept in wild waves before the hur-
ricane, their crests blowing off into
spray as they met the full force of the
wind. After several efforts the crew
succeeded in loosing few inches of
the foretopsail, and for awhile this held
nobly. Then came a stronger puff
than usual, and the sail was torn bod
lily from the bolt-ropes, disappearing
in the gloom like some huge white
bird.
There was nothing to be done but
run before the gale, and, after send
ing the mate and half the crew below,
the captain advised Tom and Avery to
retire, which they did, somewhat re-
assured by the collected bearing of the
skipper, who seemed to take it all as
a matter of course, especially as the
wind was sending his vessel just where
he wished to go.
In this manner three days andnights
passed, until it seemed toTom that the
world was made up of wind, waves and
darkness.
On the fourth morning the wind be.
gan to abate and the sun appeared, en-
abling the captain to ascertain his po-
sition. He found that the Seabird had
made II knots an hour during the en-
tire period since the storm struck her.
which caused his satisfaction to show
itself in his round face Enthusiastically.
Sail was now made, and ten days later
the seabird was sailing proudly on the
bosom of the Pacific, having rounded
Cape Horn with the greatest slant of
wind" the old skipper had ever expert
enced. The vessels head was pointed
TO the north, and Tom began to COM
pute the days before they could hope
to reach San Francisco.

CHAPTER Nv.
wAYLA1D AND ROBBED.

When Tom Scott went ashore in
Frisco he found the city was Klon-
dixie mad. On every hand were huge
posters calling attention to the su-
perior merits of some particular route
to the fields of gold, and men of all
walks in life were straining every nerve
to be among the first to reach the Yu-
kon with the advent of spring. Several
steamers were loading at the piers, but
every inch of space on board had been
engaged months ahead. After consult
ing with Capt. Coffin he determined to
go by rail to Seattle and trust to luck
TO secure passage from that port.
He made no mention of the singular
secret bestowed upon him by the old
miner. but frankly told the captain of
the money he had received from the
same source, and the latter promptly
gave him some good advice.
Better not be drifting round FRS
co with all that stuff in your pocket"
he said. 1--WE got a good little safe
here and you're welcome to use it..
There's some desperate characters on
the water front here, and plenty of 'em
would kill a man ten times over for half
your pile. They've all got the gold
fever now. My second mate is going to
leave me. He's got it, too. Hope the
mate doesn't follow suit"
Tom was wise enough to listen to the
warning and left the larger part of his
money in the safe, but he kept the two
precious papers in his money belt, q
proceeding which he was to regret very
soon.
He found there was special excur-
sion advertised to leave the following
morning, and was just in time to secure
q ticket. After taking in the sights of
the city during the afternoon he pro-
cured his supper in restaurant and de-
cided to spend the evening at theatcr,
for it must be remembered that he was
country reared and with few rare ex-
ceptions, when he had visited Boston. a
theater had been beyond, his reach.
He thoroughly enjoyed the perform
ance and started down toward the wa
ter front when it was finished without
a thought of any danger as he strobe
rapidly along the well-lighted thor.
oughfares. While he is thus engaged
let us take look at Obed Rider, the viii
famous mate of the Seabird, and see
how his schemes are progressing.
While Tom was Watching the foot.

in a little drinking saloon near the
wharf where the Seabird had been
locked. Before him was bottle of
liquor and glance at his face was suffi-
Gent to show that he had been indu]g-
ing deeply. His small, bloodshot eyes
were fixed upon vacancy, and he was
apparently meditating deeply.

then the cat would be out of the bag.
If had that paperthe old man give him
what's to hinder my going and claim
ing to be Mr.. Scott? There's fortune
in it, but it's ugly business"
Filling his glass again lie drained it
at gulp as if trying to screw up his
courage to the necessary point for some
resolve. Then he looked at his watch
and said:
"Ten o'clock. No time to lose. First

CHAPTER III.

II GIVE MY SHARE TO YOU"
Good luck and fair winds followed
our adventures until they reached the
stormy Gulf of California, where an &C.
cident occurred which greatly affected
Toms future plans.
It was an hour before sunset and the
two passengers were leaning over the
stern watching the water fly swiftly
under the counter, when loud shout
from aloft attracted their attention.
Looking quickly up they had barely
time to spring aside when heavy block
struck the deck beside them with ter
rife force. A rope attached to it hit
Toms companion across the chest,
sending him backwards. His heels met
the wheel ropes and the next instant he
struck the water astern and disap-
peared from Toms sight.
It had all happened so quickly that he
hardly realized what had occurred until
the sailor aloft shouted:
"Man overheard! Man overboard!"
With the promptitude of a sailor the
man at the wheel sprang to the rail and
cut adrift the life preserver, which was
always ready for use, and at the same
time the captain rushed on deck and
ordered the ship hove to.
Then Tom tore off his coat and shoes
and leaped over the rail before the cap
tain could detain him.
Like most Cape Cod boys, he had
learned to swim at an early age, and a
pond in Merrivale had enabled him TO
indulge in the exercise in late years, so
that when he came to the surface he
felt no anxiety for himself, although
the vessel was some distance away.
He struck out with all his might in
the direction of the vessels wake, and
soon caught glimpse of white face
ahead rising and falling on the waves.
Keep up till reach you!" he Shout
ed to encourage Avery. who was fully
so yards away.
There was no reply. and when Tom
was within dozen strokes of his friend
the latter suddenly threw up his arms
and began to sink.
Tom reached the spot just in time to
grasp his hair and drag him to the sur
face, where he lay utterly unconscious
anu uudUle 10 dSSlSt ulmScll Ou sup
ported him as best he could. but his
clothes soon began to drag him down.
and his limbs felt like lead. He was
nearly spent when something white
swept before his eyes. on the top of
sea, and he saw that it was the life
buoy. With last effort he struck out
and succeeded in grasping it.
In the meantime the Seabird hadbeen
brought to the wind and boat lowered
with all possible speed, but it is a slow
operation at best, and the craft was
half mile distant before the boat struck
the water with Capt. Coffin in her stern.
Although the buoy supported Tom
easily, he found it no easy task to keep
the unconscious mans head above the
surface. and when the boat reached
them he was pulled from the water in
q state of utter exhaustion.
Avery showed no signs of life. and
when the vessel was reached he was
taken to his berth. where the old cap.
tain gradually resuscitated him. Tom
having changed his clothes in the mean
time and regained the use of his limbs.
When he reached the stateroom he
was shocked at his friends face. There
was q look there which comes but once
to humanity. and which froEe the words
on his tongue.
