Pew was dead, stone dead. AS for
my mother, when we had carried her
up to the hamlet, a little cold water
and salts very soon brought her back
again, and she was none the worse for
her terror, though she still continued
to deplore the balance Of the money.
In the meantime the supervisor rode
on, as fast as he could. to kits Hole;
but his men had to dismount and grope
down the dingle, leading, and some
times supporting. their horses, n in
continued fear of ambushes; SO it was
no great matter for surprise that when
we got down to the Hole the lugger
was already under way though still
close IN. He hailed her. A voice re-
piled. telling him to keep out of the
moonlight or he would get some lead
In MIN, and at the same time a bullet
whistled close by his arm. Soon after
the lugger doubled the point and dis
appeared. Mr.. Dance stood there, as
he said. like a fish out of water" and

nothing. They've got off clean. and
there's an end. Only" he added. I'm
glad 1 trod on Master Pew's %corns:"
for by this time he had heard my story.
1 went back with him to the Admiral
Benbow, and you cannot imagine a
house in such a state Of smash: the
very clock had been thrown down by
those fellows in their furious hunt af-
ter my mother and myself; and though
nothing had actually been taken away
except the captains money-bag and a
little silver from the till, I could see
at once that we were ruined. Mr.. Dance
could make nothing of the scene
"They got the money, 0 say?
We'll than Hawkins what In fortuna
were they after? More money, 1 sup

I. I'm fact, sir, I believe I ave the
thing In my breast-pocket; and, to tell
you the truth. I should like to get it

ITO be sure. boy; quite right" said
he. "I'l take 1t, If you like"

began.
Perfectly right" lie interrupted,
very cheerily, perfectly right-a gen.

come to think Of it, I might as we'll
ride round there myself and report to

you like, I'll take you along.
I thanked him heartily for the Of

where the horses were. By the time 1
had told mother of my purpose they
were all in the saddle.
"Dogger," said Mr.. Dance, you have
a good horse; take up this lad behind
you"
AS soon as I was mounted, holding on
to Dogger's belt. the supervisor gave
the word, and the party struck out at
a bouncing trot on the road to DR..
Livesey's house.

CHAPTER vi.
THE CAPTAINS P E

We rode hard all the way, till we
drew up before DR.. Livesey's door. The
house was all lark in front
Mr.. Dance old me to jump down and
knock, and Dogger gave me a stirrup
to descend by. The door was opened
almost at once by the maid.
rs DR.. Livesey in" I asked.
No, she said; he had come home in
the afternoon, but had gone up to the
hall to dine and pass the evening with
the squire.
so there we go, boys" said Mr..
Dance.
This time, as the distance was short,
I did not mount, but ran with Dogger's
stirrup-leather to the lodge gates, and
up the long, leafless, moonlit avenue to
where the white line of the Hall build
ings looked on either hand on great old
gardens. Here Mr.. Dance dismounted,
and, taking me along with him, was ad-
mitted at a word into the house.
The servant led us down a matted
passage, and showed us at the end into
a great library, all lined with book
cases and busts pom the top of them,
where the squire and DIR. Livesey sat,
pipe in hand, on either side of the
bright fire.
1 had never. seen the squire so near
at hand. He was a tall man, over six
feet high, n broad in proportion, and
he had a bluff, rough-and-ready face,
all rounghened and Redeemed and lined
in his long travels. His eyebrows We're
very black, and moved readily, and this
gave him a ook Of some temper, not
bad, you would say, but quick and
high .
Come in, Mr.. Dance" says he, very
stately and condescending.
Good evening, Dance" "a the doc
tor. with a nod. And good evening to
you, friend Jim. What good wind
brings you here?"
The supervisor stood up straight and
stiff. and told his story like a lesson;
and 0 should have seen how the two
gentlemen leaned forward and looked
at each other, n forgot to smoke in
their surprise and interest. When they
heard how my mother went back to the
inn, DR.. Livesey fairly slapped his
thigh, and the squire cried "Bravo!"
and broke his long pipe against the
CRATE. Long before it was done, Mr..
Trelawney Chat, you will remember,
was the squire's name) had got up
from his seat, n was striding about
the room, and the doctor, as if to hear
the better, had taken off his powdered
wig, and sat there, looking very strange
indeed with his own close-cropped.
black poll.
At last Mr.. Dance finished the story.
"Mr. Dance" said the squire, ,you
are a very noble fellow. And as for rid

creant, I regard it as an act of virtue.

A PunctuaI Bird.

What tempts the little humming
bird that we see in our gardens to
travel every spring from near the
equator to as far north as the arctic
circle, leaving behind him, as he does.
Tor d season, many tropical delights?
He is the only one of many humming
birds that pluckilY leaves the land of
gayly colored birds to go into volun-
tary exile in the north, east of the Mis-
sissippi. How it stirs the Imagination
to picture the solitary, tiny migrant, a
mere atom of bird life, moving above
the range of human sight through the
vast dome of the sky! Borne swiftly
onward by rapidly vibrating little
wings, he covers the thousands of
miles between his winter home and his
summer one by easy stages and ar
rives at his chosen destination, wealth
er permitting. at approximately the
same date year after year.-Country

rhourhtIess. Selfish.

Thoughtlessness Of others is nothing
more than downright selfishness, which
Is the curse of humanity. The man
who on leaving an elevated train
pauses at the head of the stairs to
light his cigar is selfish. He incom-
modes all who are behind him. The
woman who insists on passing Up or
down the stairs ahead of the eager
crowd, slowly, Indifferent to the haste
Of others, must be an awful thing at
home. He who pauses to tie his shoe
regardless of the interruption of traffic
is brute in his family. l see all these
things dozen times day and wonder
what kind Of lives such persons lead in
the family circle. One of the common
evidences Of thoughtlessness is seen in
those who stand In ths middle of the
sidewalk to chat while Tnultitudes are
forced to defect or make an offset in
order to pass them. r7he more l see OF
men the greater is my respect for
asses, dogs and mules.-New York

The woman nnd Her Face.

Once upon a time a woman had a
quarrel with her features because they
made ugly faces at her when she
looked in the glass. She scolded and
scolded, but it all did no good.
Finally she sat in front of her mir
1ror, and with rouge, powder and black
pencil went deliberately to work to
show her face how wrong it was and
succeeded.
After time she smiled smile Of
intense satisfaction, and her face
smiled pleasantly back at her.

FINS OF THE FLYING FISH.
They Are Used az Parachutes Rather
Than as Wings.

Out from the warmer seas fly the
flying fish. the fish of which every one
has heard, which yet none can see for
the first time without a gasp of amaze
ment, without feeling as though be-
holding the miraculous, the fish which
has given rise to more untruthful sto-
RIGS than any other fish in all the seas.
Undoubtedly the flying fish has wings
like bird; undoubtedly it flies. yet not
as bird. 1t does not flap the wing
like. pectoral fins on which it is up
borne, nor, once launched in the air,
can it change its course by any move
ment of it's wings until it dips again
to the water Yet it will pass ship
making ten knots in the hour and tray
ell in the air as far as 500 feet at a
time.
Astounding. indeed. is the sight of a
shOal of flying fish taking to the air,
skimming far over the surface when
the sea is calm, leaping high over
great waves when gales blow. Fish
seem ludicrously out of their element
in the air, but that fish should fly If
not really more wonderful than that
some animals and birds, like the otter
or the penguin. dive and swim to per
fectiOn.
The flying fish's fins are really para
chutes to support and steady its body
rather than wings TO propel it. The
lobe of the tail gives propulsion to the
body as it leaves the water. a flying
fish measures about a foot in length,
and it's long. transparent pectoral fins
reach almost to the tail: but,H though
very large when expanded, they car

DON'T GET TOO FULL.
A Lesson That May BE Learned From
the Habits of the Bees.

Il thimk that | would leave them
alone altogether" was the reply. ''They
have too angry buzz about them to
win my confidence"
You are not used to them, that's

these hives are full of honey, and il |
puff little smoke into the doors so rs
to sort Of suf1ocate the sentries can
tOpple hive over, handle the bees

words, the speaker performed his ex-
pertinent and came back to his friend
with smile and several heavy combs
OF honey.
IF those hives had been nearly
empty" said the ap!arist, II would
have been lucky IS have escaped with
my lie. The tenants OF Il poor hive

That's strange" said the visitor
II should think that they would de-
fend their boards with especial jeal-
ousy, and the more they have the hot,

THE reason is," said the beeman
"that when alarmed the bees fly to
their storehouse and gorge themselves.

brought on the fight. McLaurin does not see
the likeness between George and Ben.

Both Senators stand suspended.
McLaurin has demanded an investigation
as to Tlllman's charges, and 1t really seems
that the Senior Senator is In close quarters
When he attempts to prove that Mckinley
and Roosevelt went into a corrupt bargain
with McLaurin. the witnesses will be hard to

improper influences applies with equal force
to all the parties connected with 1t. Nobody
