AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST.
Tommy Had Found the Almanac in the
Garrett.

This occurred just before the last
full moon at pretty residence on
Trumbull avenue, says the Detroit Free
Press. The head of the house is of a
scientific turn of mind, loves to inves-
tigate the phenomena of nature and
takes it as part of his duty to impart
his knowledge to the rest of the fam
lily. On the night in question he found
an almanac on the table, which he
reads. Turning the leaves carelessly
while thinking about going to bed, he
was surprised to come upon the in
formation that there was to be an
almost total eclipse of the moon that
night, and that it would be visible
from this part of the globe at 1 a. m.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks, who had retired,
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits of glass and went to
smoking them, just as though it were
the blazing sun which was to be
viewed. This done he watched the
clock vigilantly until it was time to
wake the others. They had none of
his enthusiasm, but went yawning and
shivering to the back porch, from
which the best view was to be OBJ
tanned. The moon never looked bright
err than it did at 1 o'clock. It must
be that the almanac meant l o'clock
standard time, he explained nervously,
and for another half-hour he kept his
eyes glued on the silvery orb. Not a
spot darkened its surface. Ten min
utes later his wife mutinied and her
sleepy brood followed her into the
house, despite his protest He fol-
lowed them and again took up the al
manac. "Found that in the attic to-
day." explained 6-year-old Tommy.
Slowly the father read aloud from the
back until he came to eighteen hun
bred and fl" when he ripped the
book to fragments and began saying
things that caused the mother to rush
the children upstairs.

rough cords, and having the blood aft

exertion, felt literally burning hot.
All was dark and still when We ran
along the stone mole of Santa Cruz
Fortunately at that late hour there was
no official to question or modest us; and
We could see the brig anchored about
half mile distant, with the lantern
still burning at the foremasthead. The
light on the castle had disappeared.
We soon found small punt at the
landing stairs, and, taking possession
OF It without leave, cast loose tht
painter and showed off.
Silently and steadily, with all oul
remaining strength, we pulled for thu
brig, and were soon alongside.

CHAPTER XII.
The Anchor A-Peak.

Alarmed by the foregoing narrative,
which was fully corroborated Ly our
excitement, by the two muskets we
had brought on board as trophies, by
the state Of our hands and wrists, and
the numerous cuts and bruises we had
upon US; and fearing the consequent
detention Of the brig for some legal in
curry. Captain Weston prepared at
once for putting to sea.
1 was happy when finding myself on
the deck of the Eugene, but still more
supremely happy on hearing Weston's
resolution to get underway, as l pos
sessed very vague but decidedly IN
pleasant ideas of Spanish justice, and
had visions of alcaldes, alguazils,
wheels. garrotes. and even the masked
familiars Of the Inquisition ITSELF
floating before me.
My heart beat responsive to the clank
of the windlass pawls, as the Eugene
was hove short on her anchor, and the
hands started aloft to cast loose the
topsails.
Weston threw our two muskets into
The sea lest their discovery on board
might cause suspicion or annoyance.
The morning was clear, cool and
starry. as vet no vestige of dawn was
visibie and all was still and quiet on
shore: but l was in momentary expec-
tot,on of seeing boat dash off toward
ne though those from whom we had
ESCAPED could have no just cause Oh
complaint.
suddenly I heard the sound OF oars
and saw a long, low boat shoot out
from the obscurity of the harbor. MY
heart stood still for moment as TINS
craft was steered in our direction, but
to nv infinite relief it boarded Costa
Rican that lay near us.
