said I, land, in truth, I am sorry for the
poor sailors, particularly for Lewson."
And now," he said, you might give
me, in return, an account of your own
faring. Surely, when looked over the
rail to-day and saw your familiar faces

''As we were to see you" said I, ''but.
after all, it was a simple NATTER" and
| with this I went on and related our
story.
"At least there are those that are
not born to be drowned" he said.

Well, go now and think over the other
matter. Let me know when you have
come to a resolution"
We took ourselves off accordingly
and returned to the deck.
well, friends said Mr.. Tym, as
soon as we were secure in our places.
what think you of all we have heard ?"
and with little hesitation I said:
But for the matter of covering the
rogue's crime should be for accepting
his terms. 1 should count II no sucn
dreadful thing to join the buccaneers,
though once, 1 admit, I thought other
wise, and this sentiment is stronger
since the death of the poor captain
Mr.. lynn nodded. aye. that is my
reasoning" he said. Moreover, it
seems that Morgan does really bear a
commission from the king. Pradey, as
we'll as all before, speaks very confident
ly of it; so we may be pretty sure of
the legality of the thing. But the vii
lain's old offense-thlt is the stick!"

man spoke.

nothing clear, and yet Stay! How as
to compromise in time? Say we would
agree-under this stress-to cover the
villainy for period ?"
Il distrust it," said Mr.. lynn, shak-
ing his head. Besides, Pradey would
never consent"
But there is more to the matter"
went on. coming to a clearer concep-
ton of the thought myself as I talked.
"As you say, he is desperate, and void
of all conscience. Could we trust him.

''Why. no." he answered. little per-

why would he not agree to the COM
promise? Say we would swear to be
secret till the end of the expedition?
He would consent, think, meaning to
destroy us at the first opportunity"
I'm truth. there is weight in what you
say" said Mr.. lynn, beginning to
waver. "Aye, doubtless you have the
rights of it, he added, almost immedi-
ately.
Let us test it, I said. Nothing is
to be gained by waiting"
My companions agreed, and we ac

On tho other hand meetings are being held

leaders OF this movement are men who are
actually employed by the Intervening Govern

leading Inhabitants OF the province are sur
prised at the indifference shown by Secretaries
Capote and Lanuza in this matter. as the
mayors and magistrates are responsible to
them.
Gov-Gsn. Brooke and his wife have been
surprised by receiving letters containing SYM
pathetic inquiries as TO his health. Stories
from American journals have also been re-
published In local papers saying that the Gen.
ersl is in poor health. These statements are
absolutely untrue. Gen. Brooke IL In the very

things the address said that Cuba's pros perity
depended upon the education OF it's future

Secretary Capots has received letter which
says that many Cuban children are going to
Mexico to work on sugar estates The writer
thinks that the children are being deceived as
they will have to be put under the tutelags OF
certain individuals who. according to Mexican
law. will have control ever them until they are
% years old As these guardians apparently
stand in the place OF parents the children will
practically be slaves.
