Why He Lost the Case.

| once had Il case, said member of
the bar, against man in the country,
which was as clear as daylight In my
favor, but, by the cunning of his law
yer, he had continued to avoid coming
to trial for about two years.
At last the case was called, late in the
term and late in hot day, the court
and jury tired and impatient. | stated
the facts, and produced the evidence,
which was all on my side.
The Judge asked the counsel whether
they wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it necessary to
submit it III so plain matter The
lawyers agreed to submit 1t without ar
gument. The jury went out, and inn
mediately returned with a verdict for
the defendant.
AS soon as the court adjou /

asked him how in the name of common
sense they came to render such YER

why you see," said he, 1--WE didn't
think much of the lawyer against you,
and 1t wasn't strange he didn't have
nothing to say; but, squire, the fact is
we thought you was about one of the
smartest lawyers in the country, and
IL you couldn't find nothing to say on
your side 1t must be pretty hard
case, so we had to go against you"

CHAPTER XVIII.

The Caledonia reached Southampton,
after a successful voyage from the Cape
of Good Hope, in the middle Of Decem
Der, and to find much excitement existing
over the non-arriyal of the Scarborough,
which had been due at her dock fully two
weeks previously.
1t was late in the afternoon Of raw
December day when Weems presented
himself at Chelmsford's office, and even
then he did not venture to enter without
first assuring himself that he was in no
danger of encountering Sir Luke Dali
ziel there.
Its all rightv' exclaimed Weems.
Chelmsford lock the door. On no ac-
count let us be disturbed till shall get
away without being perceived"
"Of course, you'll want to see Sir Luke,
in case he should drop in on usy' said
the lawyer.
mot at present for the world!' ex-
claimed Weems "Send your boy home,
and then lock this door, as well as the
outer one. There that is something like.
Your health, Chelmsford! What the
deuce are you looking at me so hard for!
I'm not ghost.'
II don't take you for one" said the
lawyer But certainly you're but the
ghost of your former self, Weems.'
Weems, who was, indeed, greatly
changed in manner and appearance, gave
harsh laugh.
"Well, l just arrived at the docks to-
day. Every ones agog concerning the
missing ship, | find
Eyes, the Scarborough" said Chelms-
ford "That was the ship, was it!''
Eyes; she took on board the fatal pack
age, without the least suspicion. She
must have gone down on the twenty Sec
ond Of last month-gone down like shot,
with every one on board!'
Now, about the assurances? I've got
the policies right here-a hundred thou
sand pounds worth! What do you think
of that, old fellow"
Chelmsford's small, covetous eyes glis-
tened, and he hastily seized the papers
produced, and began to examine them
through his spectacles.
And how about the girl, Miss Muir,
of whom Sir Luke has been SO anxious?
You say you discovered her. OF course,
then, she must have accompanied you
home?" he observed.
1.-THE deuce, nor gasped Weems, taking
long breath, and moving uneasily in
his seat THAT'S just the rub, Chelms-
ford. That's why l don't dare meet Sir
Luke yet while"
What, man! BOUNDS. you don't mean
to say
Eyes, 7 do" groaned Weems, filing in
the pause with logged sullenness of tone
and look. 'Shes dead-she sailed in the
doomed ship! Do and say what l could
there WINS no preventing her, and it was
too late to change the direction of the
plot-the assurances were already effect
cd, the dynamite already in the hold!'
THAT was an internally bad business!
muttered Chelmsford, knitting his brows.
"Sir Luke will be apt to cut up like
mailman. He's a reckless brute, and
might do almost anything in his despera-
tion--even to the extent of exposing us,
and running himself as a consequence.
(To be continued)
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1900-06-14

This having been agreed upon, Dun
more persuaded Miss Muir to retire into
little refuge that he had succeeded in
erecting for her, and where he hoped
that she might be enabled to find some re-
pose.
On the following day, which broke un.
clouded and with just an apology for a
breeze, the quarter-boat was launched,
and eleven men, including all the second
cabin survivors, with the exception Of
old Mackenzie and his son, signified their
intention of accompanying the third off,
Ger, Mr.. Scudder, in abandoning the raft.
There were now but twelve persons
left upon the raft These were Mr.. Guy,
Mr.. Cleats, Miss Muir, Dunmore, Dash
wood, Mackenzie and son. Sousporteur,
Mingo- Bingo, and three sailors, all Eng
lishmen, named respectively Cults,
Wormsley and Garwood.
The raft was making about three miles
an hour under the light breeze that was
tanning the air; she was headed due
east; and the sunshine descended with
scorching heat upon it's little group of
shipwrecked waits.

the preseace OF these witnesses, and,
heaven granting me life, shall fulfill
them faithfully and conscientiously to
the end"
A look Of profound satisfaction passed
over the haggard features of poor Mac
kenzie, and then, clasping the sobbing
child to his breast with an expiring eff
fort, his head fell back and he was gone.
For three days more they foated at the
mercy Of the winds and waves. Then
hope dawned once more upon them, and
in the shape of an unmistakable sail that
appeared on the southwestern horizon
soon after daybreak on the eleventh day.
1t held straight toward them, charging
hourly, until Mr.. Guy was at last en-
abled to announce that the approaching
steamship, as he was confident it would
prove, could scarcely fail to see the raft
and steer to the rescue of its occupants.
What If it should prove the fCaledo-

''Ay, and with Weems on board!' MUIR

All speculations on the subject were
soon put to rest. BY noon of that day

bound from the South Atlantic squadron,
and intending to make brief delays at

The story of the wretched castaways
was soon told they were made as COM

smiled once more on the six survivors of
the Inflated Scarborough, and with the
assurance that they would, in all proba-
bility, reach their original destination at
the end Of the six weeks.

in other directions.
Frankey got large quantity of wire
netting and inclosed large area of
the river, so that when the water low
cred he would have fish to supply by
the hundredweight. He had two men
working pretty steadily all summer
around that inclosure, and it appeared
to be alive with fish. The netting was
sunk down in the soft mud, and Paci-
tic waited patiently for the harvest
which he confidently expected awaited
him when the waters receded and fish
became scarcer. But his plans turned
out some different from what he ex-
pected. The willy carp wanted to get
ont of that Enclosure, and they put
their heads together and planned their
escape. They conldn't get over the
wire, but they went down into the
soft mud and dug holes under the wire
and through these holes fully 1000
pounds of fish, which Frankey ex-
pected to ship to the New York mar
