slant so, and then we all let go in
volley, making a tremendous noise in
the small place and confusing every
thing with smoke. One fellow in the
opening of a companion fetched q
dreadful howl, as high-pitched as a
dogs, and before the sound was well
out of him thrust headlong forward
and crashed down at our feet. The
gang in the door thereupon set up
great roaring and cursing, and in the
midst of it four or five of them dashed
recklessly in. The foremost bent for
ward, and 1 saw his hand GO out with
a pistol in it, but before he could fire
the captain let bang at him and he
fetched up short and gave queer sort
of writhing bow and fell back upon
the threshold. The others hung in the

upon them with his sword. / had

holding the others at bay, they, in

of the sailors were either killed or des
perateIy wounded, and the Others
broke and poured headlong down the
steps.
The captains blood was up, and he
made to follow, but Mr.. lynn caught
him by the sleeve, and in a word OF
two showed him the danger of it, &C
that he reluctantly gave over.
All this time that arch traitor, the
mate, had kept in the background, but
now we heard his voice, and I conjec.
tured that he was rating and perhaps
trying to rally his men. 1t seemed
that he had been in the rear of those
who came up from 'tween-decks, but
either from necessity or inclination
had fallen back when Mr.. lynn and the
captain made their final onslaught.
But do what he could the fellows he
was talking to had no heart for fur
Their ventures, and we heard them
break away from him and retreat to
the forward part of the ship. He must
have followed, for it was Immediately
quiet tween decks, and so that point
of our defense seemed to be safe
enough. AS for the companion, it still
stood open, just as they had broken it
in, but the misused door only banged
at will with the motion of the ship, and
no one appeared to be near it or to
guard it.
We were now minded to investigate
the condition of the fallen mutineers,
and found all dead. Capt. Sellinger was
for bringing the affair to head with
out further parley, and would have us
sally out and fall upon the fellows and
cut them down if they would not sur
render. Mr.. lynn opposed this, saying
we were still three against eight, not
including the wounded sailor and old
Lewson (the latter would hardly de-
sert to US as yeti, and in the open deck
we could not expect to work such
havoc as we had in the cabin. In the at
tack here they had fallen on uswithout
order or precision, crowding together
till they could not get the avail of
their weapons, and missing their shots
because of their hastiness, but on deck
they could spread out and encompass
us front and rear, and would be GER
tain to be more circumspect. But for
the surprise into which they had
been thrown by the sudden call of the
mate, it was doubtful if we could have
gained the day as it was. Better to
wait, then" urged Mr.. lynn, "and let
the rascals call for a truce, which
doubtless they will soon do, being now
light crew for the ship, and likewise
lacking nautical instruments, those
being all here in the cabin"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUF OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles Of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
diSpelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

tinuing also about the lanthorn, till it
had the seeming of beacon in fog.
Nevertheless, upon looking with some
intentness, made out that the fellows
the captain was fighting were three of
the ordinary sailors, by name Tom
Doll, Will Minton and Jack Wal
ling, all men of fair courage but not
extraordinarily able of body or of
known skill with weapons.
"Have at one of these fellows, sir!"
1 shouted to the captain, and, discreet
ly picking out Doll, made bold dash
and so dismayed the rascal that he
fetched his blow at me before the time,
and 1 closed with him ere he could get
his hanger up again and dug my knife
into his side. He collapsed like an
empty sack, uttering a direful groan,
and at the same moment the captain

Mr.. lynn had now fallen back a pace

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. Tym,
the supercargo, describes a sail. The strange
vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the
Industry's guns. In the fray one Of the
crew is killed and Houthwick is seen to
fall. The captain is found TO be dead, but
the Industry is little damaged. Sellinger,
first mate takes charge and puts into Sid
mouth 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 commits
sion to take Panama. One night a little
later, the English vessel having proceeded
on her course, bit of paper is slipped into
Ardick's hand by one Of the sailors.

Denfness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbhng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

BEWARE OF FOOD SAMPLES.

Quite recently in New York two
deaths occurred from poison by the use
of powders sent to the victims by mail.
In Leavenworth, Kans., the other day
nearly every doctor in town was called
to attend the children who had gath
cred up, eaten, and been made i'll by
samples of an article left at houses by
canvassers for advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have always
been favorite articles for this sampling
business. Yet there is nothing more
liable to lead to danger than the prac-
tice of using the various samples oi
baking powder left at the door. They
are presented by irresponsible parties,
in appearance are not distinguishable
from arsenic, and indeed, in Indiana
some time since one package was found
after it had caused the death of the
housewife, to have been mixed with
that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples O.

Pure cream of tartar baking powders

FRIDAYS STORM.
Lots of Good, and Some Damage
Done.

There was a grand storm, Frida
afternoon. There was but little vino
but good, heavy rain, and plenty
pyrotechincs. AS resultof the rain tn
farmers will gather bushels OF none,
from their fields this fall. The COW
have already been eating it in th'
pastures.
There was brilliant display o
lightning-several of them-in man!
colors and forms, and the thunder wa
grand. In few places, houses and
barns got in the way of the lightning
and got the worst of it.
| Ex-Sheriff Sullivan's chimney on his
house on East Sandusky, got dab, and
scattered badly. First knock out for
the lightning. Mrs. Sullivan and Mrs.
Fla ok were somewhat shocked at the
rudeness of the proceeding but soon
recovered. The Sheriff came running
in, wanting to know "who frowed dat
fust last brick-bat?" but subsidized,
| when he smelled sulphur.
In the west end of town, Carter
Wright's house was treated with
more familiarity and consideration.
The chimney was dehorned, the gable
of the house was knocked out and a
hole knocked in, and Mrs. Wright and
son Fred were knocked down and much
disgusted; but they were on time for a
second round, if more had been neces-
sary.
At the Fair Ground, the lightning
was treed, but managed to escape.
At the telephone exchange they had
more lightning than they could market,
but their customers took a good deal
of it on ''tick' tick and relieved the
pressure.
Two barns of R. c. Early, in Boxes

tongue, and were licked up like Sc

The house of Mr.. Oliver Liggett,
near Belle Centre, came so near getting
in the road of one of the streaks of fire,
that all the family ran different direc-
tions to see where it struck, and Mrs.
Light was so affected that she was
unconscious for time. Dave thought
it was sham battle and ran for his
gun, but discovered his mistake when
he ran into his father.

HAD FLOWN
The Sheriff and Deputies Made q
Search For Bob Young.

Sheriff Shaw and his deputies made
descent on Belle Centre, Sunday ev-
ening, to arrest Bob Young, who was
reported to be hiding there. They
searched some half a dozen houses, but
failed to find Young or any trace of
him.
The citizens of the village are very
much outraged over YOung's crime
on an orphan child, and they are
watching Young's movements, in hope
of being able to hand him over to the
authorities. All good citizens Of the
county hope they will be successful.
The line of Young's defense il
probably foreshadowed by the ru
mors that are already being circulated
(sometimes thoughtlessly) that the vic
tim of his crime was not innocent
But under the law this would not avail
for the child was only IA years of age
and had not reached the age
of consent. The crime was one tha'
deserves the deepest reprobation ant
punishment.
