It was just before New Years day, and

Say, Mamie" remarked Sadie, "did We
see them calendars on the table two rooms

(Which ones?"
"Them 25-cent ones"
"Did see 'em?" with peculiar emphasis
from Mamie as she pulled open drawer
and pointed triumphantly to two specimens
of the said calendars.
"You bought two of 'em?" in awe
struck tones from Sadie.
"Well, l amt bought 'em yet. just
picked out two of 'em and put 'em away.
They'll mark the ones that's left down to
five cents pretty soon. Then I'll put these
here back and buy 'em, quick See?
Sadie saw, and her mouth fell open in ad.

felt much encouragement and, in
a sort, relief at his manner. The strain
till now had been great, and my cour-
age, in some wise, had begun to flag.
In truth, l was new at SUCH business,
and had not learned that steadfast-
ness and command over my nerves that
were to come with future experience.
We were now ready to arrange our
watches. and it only remained to de-
eide who should first stand and who
turn in. We settled this after little
argument by my being chosen for the
watch below (using the nautical
phrase, though in strictness it scarce
ly applied), and I accordingly selected
the mates cabin, and stretched myself
in the bunk.
I cannot say how long slept, but l
know l was awakened at last by
sound of crashing wood, and on start
ing up found the ship almost without
motion and few faint day streaks
coming in at the window. Twas on my
feet straightway and caught up my
hanger and pistol. What had hap
pened could not conjecture, but it
must be something of import. Iheark-
ened for an instant, but there was no
repetition of the sound, and without
tarrying longer flung open the door
and rushed out. My friends were on
their feet. sword in hand, and by the

Nay, we know not for a certainty"
replied Mr.. lynn coolly, "but by the
noise it is the splintering of boats"

deck?" I asked. II think there be
cracks in the door sufficient to see
through
I'VE tried but now, and could dis
cover nothing" answered the super
cargo. Yet no harm 20 make fresh
attempt"
With this 1 stepped to the door and
applied my eye to the chiefest crack.
l thought caught a glimpse of some
shadowy figures. Stimulated by the
discovery, boldly drew away the fas-
tening and peered out. Instantly dis
covered two or three forms fitting
about the bows, and as looked saw
one mount the bulwark and drop over.
In moment it came to me what was
doing. The mutineers were deserving
the ship; l flung the door wide and
made a significant gesture to my COM
panions. They were beside me in a
twinkling, and on beholding the de-
serted deck tumbled unhesitatingly
out. I was at their heels, and we con-
tinued to the confines of the quarter
deck, where we fetched up and looked
around. All was indeed clear. Poop,
afterdeck, midships, and foredeck-
not soul to be seen.
Myj companions had mounted the
bulwark and were bending over. and
the captain was wagging his head and
pointing at something over the quar-
ter. I was at no loss to guess what it
was. and upon running bit one side
and looking past the poop made GER
tain. 1t was, in fact, the escaping
mutineers.
They were all in one boat-the ships
long boat-and by the aid of several

oars were drawing pretty fast to wind
ward. I could not stop to make more
of them than this, for the ship was now
all ways in the wind, and fastened to
fetch her upon her course. The breeze
was ight and no harm done, and pres
emily had her about her business and
all drawing as it should. By this time
the boat was again under my observa-
ton, for she was now upon the weather
bow instead of the weather quarter,
and l had opportunity to scan her with
more exactness. She held all the ten
men-that is, the mate, old Lewson,
the disabled sailor, the cook, the cabin
boy and the five other seamen. l

was scarce of reality boy, since he

The boat was fitted with a sail: which
two fellows forward were even now

casks amidships was well supplied with
all manner of stores.

come by glimpse of my companions.
and resolve what they were doing, but
just at the moment I heard Mr.. lynn
say something. and, following the
words, his head rose above the poop
ladder.
"At the helm" he called out. COM
posedly. .....
"Aye, aye!" I answered, almost a
tremblc with anxiety. "How fares
it 90
"Not ever WELL" he returned, with
the same GOODNESS. 'Pradey has stove
the boats and spiked at least a part of
the guns. But the captain would have
you below"
'Yet word,' said, as I gave up the
tiller. rs the ship scuttled?*

whipped into the cabin, to note from
the window whether the gig was stove
or no. and as he was returning de-
scended for bit to the storeroom. He
reported the hold all a-wash.'
Then we are indeed in the plight of
your inconvenicnt kittens!" l cried,
flinging myself with all speed toward
the poop ladder.
The captain conceived it wise to pay
a visit to the hold, for. although he had
made sure that there was a great and
unusual body Of water there, he had
not determined the rate at which it
was gaining, nor. beyond question,
that it had made to a point where
there was no hope in striving with it.
We advanced into the 'tween-decks,
accordingly, and from thence descend

perceived that the worst of our fore
holdings were justified. In sooth. it

FAST PLAY.
A Feature Of the Bias
ket Ball Game.
THE.LYCEUMS WON.
Fitchburgs Beaten in Sec
ond Match Of Series.

Basket ball is at last upon paying
basis in this city. At least that was
the way it looked last evening, when
nearly 600 persons crowded into Father
Mathew Hall to witness the game be-
tween the Fitchburg Y NJ c. L. and
the Lyceum of this city.
1t was an interesting contest, replete
with brilliant plays from the blowing
of the referees whistle in the first half.
The score-9 to in favor of the Lyce-
ums--shows how closely the game was
contested. At the termination Of the
first period of playing time the Fitch
burgs had the advantage, the score
then standing to in the visitors
favor.
The game was the second in the
series Of three that has been arranged
between the two teams. In the first
match, played in Fitchburg, a week or
so ago, the Lyceum players were de
feated by a single point, but 1t was not
until after the teams had been playing
over time. Last evenings victory by
the Lyceums only adds to the interest
in the third game which will take place
in Fitchburg next week.
The star work last evening was done
largely by Koran, who was covering
centre for the Lyceums. He was all
over the floor all the time and his
throwing to the cage was most ac-
curate. Eight of the nine points made
by the Lyceums were scored by him
on goals from the field. The other
point was made by Sheehan on free
try following foul
While the Lyceum men excelled in
individual playing, they were not the
equal of their opponents in team play.
The passing and all-round work of the
Fitchburg men were simply superb.
They gave an exhibition of passing
the ball that has not been equalled
since the days of basket ball in the
armory couple of years ago.
In addition to the Fitchburg Lyceum
game, the Lyceum Juniors met the
Crescents. Unlike their bigger brothers,
the Lyceum Juniors We're not on the
winning side and lost to the Crescents
by single goal. Neither side scored
in the first half.

WELL PLACED CONFIDENCE
An Exeter Relay Runner WHO Had $500
OF His Own Money on the Race.

An cHeter Relay Runner WEo hao ooOO
OF His Own Money on the Race.
Whenever the two rival academies, Ex-
eter and Andover, meet in any athletic
contest, the students of the two schools
back their respective teams to the limit.
1t was so Saturday evening, at Boston,
when the relay teams of the two schools
met for their race. Each school had a big
delegation at the games and about every
man had more or less money wagered on
the result. In the Copley Square hotel be-
fore the games a $1,000 pool was made up
between Exeter and Andover and good
portion of the Exeter money was fur
nished by young fellow named Frye,
who was the first runner on Exeter S
team.
Frye, who is the son of Senator Frye
of South Dakota, had never seen foot
race, much less participated in one, be
fore entering Exeter last fall, and his
experience in active track athletics. He
had answered the call for track team
candidates and showed so much speed
that Trainer Delaney readily saw he was
a coming man and would prove Valu-
able addition to the relay team.
When the trials for the Exeter team
were run off, Frye was one of the men
to make fast time and he was given the
place, although 1t was feared that his in
experience might more than offset his
superior speed. Frye himself, however.
had implicit confidence not only in him
self but in the Exeter team, and when
ever any Andover money showed up,
Frye was one of the Exeter fellows who
was more than willing to cover it. Frye $
} confidence in his own ability and that of
said that more than half the stake money
went to him when the race was over.
