The chief industry OF Geneva Is the

gives some interesting particulars
about his visit. An attendant invited
him to take a seat. He did so, and
the strains of delightful music came
from the chair. He hung his hat on
rack, and put his stick in the stand.
Music came from both rack and stand.
He wrote his name in the visitors reg

ink, music burst forth from the ink
stand. The manager of the factory ex-
planned the process of making musical
boxes, a business which requires pa

the marked places pegs which have
been filed to a uniform length. The
cams, or set of teeth, which strike the
pegs and makes the sound, is arranged

<~-BY CAPTAIN MARRYAr

more than three days at the usual al
lowance. AS soon as the mast had
been stepped and rugged, and the sails
set (although there was hardly q
breath OF wind, Philip explained to
the men the necessity of reducing the
quantity of water, and it was agreed
that 1t should be served out so as to ex-
tend the supply to twelve days, the
allowance being reduced to half pint
per day.
There was debate at this time, as
the raft was in two parts, whether
1t would not be better to cast off the
smaller one, and put all the people on
board the other; but this proposal was
overruled, as, in the first place, al
though the boats had deserted them
the number on the raft had not much
diminished, and moreover, the raft
would steer much better under sail now
that 1t had length, than it would do
IL they reduced its dimensions and al
tered its shape to a square mass of
floating wood.
For three days it was calm, the sun
poured down his hot beams upon them,
and the want of water was severely
felt; those who continued to drink
spirits suffered the most.
The night closed in as before; the
stars shone bright, but there was no
moon. Philip had risen at midnight
to relieve Krantz from the steerage of
the raft. Usually the men had lain
about in every part of the raft, but
this night the majority of them re-
NAMED forward. Philip was commun-
ing with his own bitter thoughts, when
he heard a scuffle forward, and the
voice Of Krantz crying out to him for
help. He quilted the helm, and seiz-
ing his cutlass ran forward, where he
found Krantz down. and the men Sc
curing him. He fought his way to him,
but was himself seized and disarmed
Cut away-cut away" was called out
by those who held him; and in a few
seconds Philip had the misery to be-
hold the after-part of the raft, with
Anime upon it, drift apart from the
one on which he stood.
For mercy's sake! my wife-my
Amine!-for Heavens sake, save her!"
cried Philip, struggling in vain to
disengage himself. Anime also, who
had run to the side of the raft held
out her arms-it was in vain-they
were separated by more than a cables
length. Philip made one more desper-
ate struggle, and then fell down de-
prived OF sense and motion.

CHAPTER XIV

1t was not until the day had dawned
that Philip opened his eyes, and dis
covered Krantz kneeling at his side;
at first his thoughts were scattered
and confused; he felt that some dread
full calamity had happened to him,
but he could not recall to mind what
it was. At last 1t rushed upon him,
and he buried his face in his hands.
Take comfort" said Krantz, I'VE
shall probably gain the shore today
and we shall go in search of her as
soon as we can"
He offered such consolation as his
friendship could suggest, but in vain.
He then talked OF revenge, and Philip
raised his head. After a few min
utes' thought, he rose up "Yes," re-
piled he, "revenge!-revenge upon
those dastards and traitors! Tell me,
Krantz, how many can we trust?"
Half of the men, l should think,
at least. 1t was a surprise" A spar
had been fitted as a rudder, and the
raft had now gained nearer the shore
than 1t ever had done before. The
men were in high spirits at the pros
pect, and every man was sitting on
his own store of dollars, which, in
their eyes, increased in value In pro-
portion as did their prospect of escape.
Philip discovered from Krantz that
It was the soldiers and most indiffer-
ent seamen who had mutinied on the
night before and cut away the other
raft, and that all the best men had
remained neutral.
And 80 they will be now, l i'm
agine," continued Krantz; "the pros
pect of gaining the shore has, in a
manner. reconciled them to the treach-
cry of their companions"
Probably" replied Philip, with a
bitter laugh; "but ] know what will
rouse them. Send them here to me-"
Philip talked to the seamen whom
Krantz had sent over to him. He
pointed out to them that the other
men were traitors not to be relied up
on; that they would sacrifice every
thing and everybody for their own
gain; that they had already done so
for money, and that they themselves
would have no security, either on the
raft or on the shore, with such peo-
pie; that they dare not sleep for fear
of having their threats cut, and that it
were better at once to get rid of those
who could not be true to each other;
that 1t would facilitate their escape,
and that they could divide between
themselves the money which the others
had secured, and by which they could
double their own shares. That II had
been his intention, although he had
said nothing, to enforce the restoration
of the money for the benefit of the
company as soon as they had gained
a civilized port, where the authorities
could interfere; but that IL they con-
sented to join and aid him, he would
now give them the whole of 1t for their
own use.
What will not the desire OF gain eff
feet? Is II therefore to be wondered
at that these men, who we're, indeed,
but little better than those who were

HELD COURT AT DOG SHOW.
Pretty Girl and tho Attention She
Attracted by Her Actions.

A Pretty Girl and tho Attention She
Attracted by Her Actions.
Over at the dog show on che open
ing night pretty girl followed by the
customary masculine throng that al
ways circulates around pretty girl
as a moth whirls around candle, wan
dered through the aisles OF the First
regiment armory and listened to all the
noisy CANNES sing their doleful songs
of woe and wrong. She patted the
heads OF the ugliest bulldogs and twist
ed a bunch of violets into the collar
OF a shaggy St. Bernard.
She pulled the tails OF the hnkled
pugs and tweaked the ears of the jaun-
ty fox-terriers. She righted collar
that had turned awry and even ven
tured to make friends with the blood
hounds. The dogs were happy and
go was the pretty girl. The delight Of
the escorting masculine throng was
not so evident, but they pretended at
least that they enjoyed playing second
fiddle to q dog rather than not having
a chance to take part in her orchestra
at all.
One great bulldog evidently shared
the sentiments OF the men. When the
pretty girl reached the cage that con-
tanned the feroclous looking brute she
found it had no water and was bark
ing it's dissatisfaction at the turn Of
affairs in the most emphatically pro-
testing manner.
1.-The poor dog" exclaimed the girl
in crescendo accents of pity, and at
once she remedied the evil by helping
her four-footed friend to some water
stolen from the neighboring cage. Aft
er that act OF mercy the dog, like the
men. was her AFFECT victim.
1t put both paws on her shoulders
and laid It's head down affectionately,
and when the girl attempted to wander
away the dog cried so piteously that
she returned again and again to COM
fort II. Poor thing" exclaimed one
of the surrounding men with whim-
steal grimace, poor thing. Who said
that dog hadn't the feelings Of a
MANI"
The pretty girl laughed and blushed
and rewarded the speaker with the
present of a very special smile.
