In one of the old stories of English
ems of Alderley Edge, ridge of high
land, are 999 hOrseInen ready to start
into action should the right bugle blow.
The author of Cannon and Camera
had, in Cuba, his experience of like
assembling. With a party he was ON
his way, through mud and rain, TO a
spot where he expected to get fine
view of Santiago.
I'VE came to a river already much
swollen from the shower, it's stream
rushing down in torrents from the hill
top. Through this we were obliged
to wade up to our armpits, holding our
cameras and plates above our heads.
when we reached the dilapidated old
fort we fell in with the outpost of the
Cubans in front of San Juan. We were
told that, two or three days previous
to our arrival, the Spaniards had evac-
uated this fort very unceremoniously
This was the day after the battle with
the rough riders, in which, being rout-
ed, they fell back on their main forces,
about two miles in the rear.
I'm this cid fort was a bell tower,
containing a finely carved bell. Some
thing prompted me to go up into the
tower and examine the bell. Once there,
an impulse seized me to ring the bell.
and L did it, with alarming effect; for
out OF hiding came every Cuban SOL
der for miles and miles, all wildly ges-
ticulating.
Il realized Immediately that this was
the signal for assembling in mass
should the enemy be seen to advance.

as live. Of course was admonished
for doing it, but when 1 assured every
body that my intentions were honest
forgiveness was accorded me.'-Youth's

until he could see Tom alone. The
mate bit his lip in baffled rage as he
saw his prey not only removed from his
power, but placed in position where
he must be treated with outward re-
spect at least. He turned on his heel
and went forward, vowing vengeance
under his breath, but not daring to
show his feeling further before the cap
tain.

the captain.
Il knew him years age" replied Tom,
land we had some trouble. 1t doesn't
matter what it was about, but his nose
got broken, and he hates me as hard as
l do him. He may be good sailor,
however. and no doubt he is. He used
to sail with my father"
A hail from the tug saved Tom any
further explanation, and as the captain
hustled off to reply Avery came cut of
the cabin and joined his roommate, who
told him briefly about the recent trou-
BILE, making no mention OF the original
cause of the enmity between himself
and Rider, for the charge against his
father was too sore a subject to pass his
lips.

Boston light was reached the westerly
wind began to freshen, and the sails
stood full. Lines were hastily cast off,
the rugs whistle gave a short blast as
a parting salute, and, with a graceful
nod of her sharp bow in return, the
bark shot toward the open water, with
every square inch of canvas pulling at
the sheets, and the captain rubbing his
horny palms with delight at the pros
pect of a fine departure.
John Avery was an old sailor, and the
motion of the vessel caused him no in

WOMEN BUYING RIFLES.
Large Increase in the Number Who
Go Hunting with Their
Husbands.

Inquiries of some of the chief dealers
in sporting guns show that their sea-
sons trade has been especially active
this month. Shotguns are briskly sold,
but there is a very lively demand for
sporting rifles, for which women GUS
toners are partly responsible.
You would be surprised" said the
head of one large establishment, ''to
know how the number of women who
brothers has increased in the last siY
or eight weeks. No, l don't think the
change is wholly due to the athletic
woman. 1t seems to me that most of
the women who go in for shooting do
so because, when the husband goes off
on a shooting trip, he wants to take his
wife with him and let her have share
in the fun.
''The women come in here with their
menfolk sometimes, and they pick up
gun with no more idea how to hold it
than if it was a lasso. / don't think
there has been more than one woman
in this store who took up gun as if
she knew how to handle it. No, they
are no more difficult customers than
men. If man isn't an expert himself,
he goes to some friend who thinks he
is an expert, and asks his advice. The
man who has been shooting for several
years thinks he knows it all, and that
we don't know anything. So the new
hand comes in here, full of infallible
advice, and it's hard work to suit him.
We've got everything, but he can't de-
eide.
''The women know they don't know,
and we can suit them quickly. We sell
them very light rifle, 3O-caliber, with
smokeless powder and long bullets, like
those of the navy rifle.

and kill deer, too. But the way they

As he spoke he released the mate, who
sprang for the cabin steps, his face
crimson with passion, shouting:
"Mutiny! Mutiny! I'll have your
life for this!"
He had reached the head of the steps
when Capt. Coffin appeared on the
scene, attracted by the mates loud
tones.
What's the trouble here?" be de-
manded, as the officer tried to push by
him on the steps
Its mutiny, sir!" was the angry re-
ply. ''Wait till get my pistol, and I'll
soon settle it,"
The captain looked about him in sur
prise. Tom stood alone on the quarter
deck, and the whole matter was mex
plicable unless the new mate was crazy,
a thought which found ample justifca-
ton in his disordered appearance.
'Mutiny?" he repeated, contemptu-
ously. See here, if you've been drink
ing, Mr.. Rider, don't let it happen again.
l can make allowance for sailing day,
but see it doesn't happen again!"

surly reply. THAT man there! That
Scott whelp! He refused to obey me,
and I'll see whether / am mate of this

With one stride the captain reached
his side and thrust his weather-beaten
face close to the mates, giving him a
look before which the other quailed
l. L Z
you speak to me remember I have a
handle to my name, and see you put it
on every time! You must be drunk"
The mate looked from one to the
other as if he could not believe his own
senses. What did it all mean? Why
did the skipper refuse to side with him
| and allow Tom to stand there unm olest-
ed after assaulting his superior officer!
Seeing he could do nothing but glare
at Tom the skipper turned to the latter
and said. coolly:
Its next to impossible to get sober

drunk all the time they are ashore

a hoarse chuckle. 'Why, bless me, but

CHAPTER I.-CONTINUED.

A few moments suf1iced to dress the
cut properly, and after turning over the
knife and revolver to the authorities,
to aid in Identifying the two robbers,
Tom was about to start for his hotel
when his new acquaintance said, blunt
ly:
Hold on a minute. I'd like to know
the name of the man who stood by an
old chap tonight and saved my life
How did you happen along so handy

wouldn't ask a better mate than you.
Where are you stopping?'
Tom mentioned the name of his hotel
and the other said at once:
''All right. Let's go there and talk
this thing over"
Half an hour later they were seated
in the smoking room and Toms modest
story was told. When he had finished
his friend said:
That's a good, straight yarn, and
some day 1 may have one to tell you
That will oper your eyes. All [ need to
say now is that my name is John Avery.

overwhelmed at the prospect, and soon
yielded.

There was suspicious moisture e
his eyes, as he turned hastily and left
the room, leaving Tom to his pleasant
thoughts.
He could hardly realize all that had
been crowded into the few hours since
his arrival, and his sleep was broker
by fitful dreams, in which revolvers
and robbers played prominent roles

Green, the second mate, was bright,
active young man abe 1T Toms age, and
the two became very friendly as the
Seabird sped steadily to the southwark.
It seemed as if old Neptune had mads

for she escaped the customary Gains

well. No incident of Importance &C.

voyage, and as they stood by the wheel
one noon when Capt. Coffin was taking
his observation he announced that they
were as far south of the line as Boston
was north of it.
Then he went below to look at the
glass, cast a careful glance around the
horizon, and went below once more,
only to reappear on deck.
''There S&n't a cloud in the sky" he
said, bluntly. "out the glass is going
down as though the bottom had
dropped out of everything. We're go

Gradually the wind died out, until the
Seabird lay becalmed, rising and fall
clear. The barometer continued to fall
in an alarming manner, and after an
hour the heat became oppressive.
Then from all quarters of the horizon
a mass of white clouds arose, until they
presented the appearance of huge
mountains of snow, darkening as they
assembled, and massfng together until
they formed a canopy overhead, en-
tirely concealing the blue sky above
Soon they deepened until the whole
heavens were solidly black, as if Gov

places, however, the color seemed to
vary to dark. purplish gray, as one
edge of an overlapping cloud was ex-
posed.
Long before this time all hands were
on deck, and the Seabird was stripped
for the battle with the elements. What

good seaman, and, with but few
suggestions from the captain, he had
