said Carlton. and may do yet
A most extraordinary schepx was
proposed by II man-that we should
launch the ~longboat, throw into her
some bags of bread and ~gang-casks of
water, unship the compass, double
bank the oars, and shove off for the
coast of South America. after scuttling
the brig and leaving Antonio to his
fate.
We were in a horrible state of per-
plexity, and | seemed to see constantly
before me the gashed bodies of my
two kind, brave and hospitable friends
Captain Weston and Marc Hislop-
lying in their berths dead and I'M
avenged, with their destroyer beside
them
We had the cspstan-bars, and with
these it was proposed to assail him
when mex he came on deck. Then we
had the carpenters tools. among
which a hand-saw, an anger, an adze
and a Ratchet. made very available
weapons, and these, with the old cut
lass and ~harpoons which figured on
the night we crossed the line, were
speedily appropriated. l was armed
with a heavy claw-hammer. and, VOW
ing firmly to stand by each other, we
resolved to lynch Antonio the mo-
ment he came out of his den.
While we were thus employed in
devising the means of punishment. the
dark shadows of night passed away;
the morning sun came up in his trop-
ical splendor, and the blue waves of
the southern sea rolled around us in
light, but not a sail was visible on
their vast eXpanse.
The crew seemed pale and excited.
as they might we'll be, and with buck
cts of water we cleansed the deck
from the blood that stained it.
The morning advanced into noon
and the vessel was steered her due
course, for the wind was still fair. Ned
Carlton was at the wheel. and the men
were all grouped forward, when sud
denly Antonio appeared on deck with
a knife in his sash and a revolver in
each hand.
He was so pale that his olive face
seemed almost a pea-green, and n
black crust upon his cruel lips showed
the extent of his potations in the
cabin. He glanced into the pinnacle,
and perceiving that the brig was still
being steered her old course, he cried,
in a hoarse voice:
"Hombres, %allegarse a la %cuesta!"
(men, bear toward the land) and
pointing to the direction in which he
knew the vast continent of South Am
erica-from which we were probably
four or five hundred miles distant
must be, he added orders in English to
shape the briggs course due west, and
stamped his right foot on the deck to
give his words additional force.

which flowed from his death wound.
had never touched a corpse before,
and an irrepressible shudder ran
through all my veins. But. that emo
ton once over, | could have handled
a dozen with perhaps Indifference; and
there are few who, after touching the
dead, have not experienced this change
Of feeling.
Ned Carlton, with a sound like a sob
in his honest bleast-a sob of mingled
rage and comniseration-raised the
yet warn body; | took the feet, and
through one Of the quarter-boards,
which was open, we launched it into
the great deep, and as the brig flew
on, rolling before the early morning
wind, there remained no trace OF poor
Will White, but his blood, a dark pool
upon the deck, and the crew stood
staring at it and at each other with
blank i~rresolution, horror and dismay
expressed in all their faces.
Empty-handed and defenseless as
we all were, each was afraid to speak
or act, lest he might be the next vic
tim whom the merclless Cubano would
shoot down.
With a growl Of defiance Antonio
now turned away, and, brandishing
the revolver in token of the obedience
he meant to exact, he descended slow
ly into the cabin, where we soon heard
him smashing open the lockers, and
busy with the ~case-bottles in the stew
ards locker, OF Billy the cabin boys
pantry.
His departure seemed a relief to all
but in half a minute after he was gone
below little Billy, or Boy BILL" as
he was usually termed, whose sleep
ing place was the steerage, rushed up
the cabin stair in his shirt and ran
among us, sobbing with fear and dis
may.

A CRUEL GAME
Upon Poor Women That Make nunke

Upon Poor Women That Make Bunke
Steering Respectable by Comparison
About the cruelest fraud l know
of," said q prominent New Orleans
lawyer, us the 'work-at-home' swiR-
die. The thing has been exposed over
and over egain and has been holly pur-
sued by the postoffice authorities, but
as Dol as 1t is suppressed in one shape
1t bobs up s~erenely In another, and
it seems utterly impossible to get rid
Of 1t altogether. My attention was
called to the subject lately by the ex-
perience of a couple of young ONE
In our neighborhood. They earn their
W living. and have rather a hard
time making both ends meet. Some
months ago they saw an advertisement
In a Northern paper stating that any
intelligent person could earn from 81
to $25 a week by work at home and
inviting investigation. They wrote
and were informed that the work con-
sisted OF making artificial flowers, for
which an outfit, costing $3.50 and a
book of instructions at rs cents were
absolutely necessary. The circular
went on to say that any one could be-
come expert in a weeks practice and
that the firm would then purchase all
the flowers that could be turned out
at a liberal scale of prices, which was
given. The two girls sent for the
things and applied themselves indus
%triously to flower making. They sue
ceeded pretty well, but the first con-
signment they sent on was promptly
returned with a notification that 1t had
been rejected by the forewoman.' At
the same time 1t was suggested that
they secure some different material. 1t
was the old story, and, to cut 1t short,
they had invested Sc in cash and
several weeks time before 1t dawned
on them that they were being syste-
matically swindled. They never sold
n penny's worth of work. | took
hold Of the matter for them, and tried
to bluff the sharpers into returning the
money. They answered my letter with
a circular advising me to get my wife
to try artificial flower making, and
after that l gave them up. 1t Is a
pretty cruel game, as | said before, be-
cause 1t preys on poor women and
girls. Bunco steering Is gentlemanly
by comparison."-New Orleans Tines

BOYS ESSAY ON HORNETS.
He FInds In Them "A Practical Lesson
for Busybodies,

A hornet is the smartest bug that
flies anywhere, quotes the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post. He comes
when he pleases and goes when he gets
ready. One way a hornet shows his
smartness Is by attending to his own
business, and making everybody who
interferes with him wish they had
done the same thing, When a hornet
stings a Teller he knows it, and never
stops talking about it as long as his
friends will listen to him. One day
a hornet stung my pa (my pa is a
preacher) on the nose, and he did not
do any pastoral visiting for a month
without taxing about that hornet. An
other way a hornet shows his smart
ness is by not procrastinatipg. II he
has any business with you he will
attend to 1t at once and then leaves
you to think it over to yourself. He
don't do like the mosquito, who comes
fooling around for half an hour, sing
ing, Cousin, cousin" and then when
he has bled you all he can, dash away
yelling mo kim" A hornet never
bleeds you; but II he sticks you, you
will go off on a swell. l don't know
anything more about hornets, only
that Josh Billings says: "a hornet is
an infamible Josh was a poor spell
err buzzer, sudden in his %impreshuns
and rather hasty in his conclusions, OIL
