THE DEVILS PACKET


IOriglnaL1
Inc pirates that infested the gulf Of
Mexico during the early years Of the
spanish occupation Of Central America
disappeared gradually, reappeared oe-
caslonally and vanished, the last ship
showing up In the early part Of the
nineteenth century. One moonlight
night she sailed out Of Puerto Cabello,
IN Honduras, where she had been lying
at anchor during storm, and made
for open waters.
What Is that black hulk out there p
said the man at the wheel to the cap
tain, "and how does she find anchorage
IN such deep water?"
shes not anchored" said the cap
tain. "She's lying to-
mo, she's moving. Her yards are
squared toward us, but she has altered
her course, and / can see her sails.
How can those few patches Of canvas
move so large a vessel, I wonderT'
All the better for u.s." replied the
captain "A hulk Of merchantmen
with such rags will be easily over
hauled. Put her moth by half moth
east"
Whether the merchantmen espied the
pirate and proposed to get away from
her or no, she turned and moved in
the same direction as the latter. Not
withstanding her meager show OF can
vas, she did not seem to lose much
interval.
How does she keep that pace?" in
CURED the captain Of one Of his prin-
cipal men who came up to ask about
the stranger.
"she's a queer one" replied the 9TH
er musingly.
The captain called the crew on deck
and ordered them to prepare for action.
The guns were run out, ammunition
was brought up, and a reserve supply
Of eutlasses was dumped at the foot Of
the mainmast. Then the graphing
irons were fixed In place, and the crew
stood ready. So long as they were
busy they kept their heads, but the mo-
ment they began to watch the strange
vessel moving steadily on under sails
incapable Of giving their own little yes
sci q Roadway Of half dozen knots
they began to look puzzled.
Presently it began to be apparent to
the pirates that they were gaining on
the vessel. Notwithstanding that she
was under the same sail as before, she
was scarcely moving. Then Of sud
den her sails were furled, but, wonder
ful to relate, she resumed her former
speed. The captain, the wheelman and
half a dozen Of the crew who had come
up to ask questions about the singular
craft all looked at one another In as
constituent.
That's no real shipr' exclaimed one
with blanched cheeks. "she Is a phan-
TOM
"Shut upn cried the captain. She's
a ship, a real ship, and wen be aboard
of her within an hour. The first man

This quieted the crew temporarily,
though several who had been born
within the fold Of the church secretly
crossed themselves. They were Of the
lowest classes, and their captain was
no more enlightened than themselves,
though made of sterner stuff. The
breeze freshened, and it was apparent
to the pirates that with the difference
Of sail area they must soon catch the
stranger unless, indeed, she we're
veritable phantom. Nevertheless at 2
o'clock in the morning, when the moon
had passed the horizon, the pirate was
as far astern as ever. The mysterious
vessel moved on like a jack o. lantern,
and the pirates began to believe that
she was under the protection Of dark
mist that hung over her. Several times
this mist disappeared, and the pursuers
always noticed that at such times the
strangers pace was either abated or
she ceased to move entirely. After one
Of these changes Of gait the pirates
found themselves sailing half a mile
behind her and on parallel lines a guar
ter of a mile apart
'tSend a shot," said the captain.
The gunners got gun ready on the
forecastle, but there seemed to be some
delay The captain went forward and
found the men shivering beside the
gun.

"May be she's under the protection
Of the blessed saints" whimpered enc
of the men. 1T would be impious to
fire. Look, there's something white in
the water amidshipsl she moves again.
Santa Maria! The sea monsters are
bearing her forward"
Every man fell on his knees and
made the sign of the cross.
Suddenly the vessel, Notwithstanding
the direction Of the wind, sheered
around and stood on a course that
would take her directly across the
pirates bow. The captain still kept on
his feet In the midst of his kneeling
men and watched her with open mouth
and staring eyes. On went his vessel
and on went the stranger, passing his
course an eighth Of mile ahead. Pres
emily his fighting nature oyercame his
superstition, and, selling an iron that
was heating in brazier, he applied
it TO the vent Of the gun. The sailors
covered their eyes with their hands as
the gun doomed When they looked
again, the vessel had passed their
course, and at the moment there was a
flash. and the light Of Tophet Jared
through d square opening In her side,
glazing on the figure Of Satan, who was
thrusting a huge poker into the place
from whence the light was emitted.
Not only the crew, but the captain,
fell on their faces on the deck not
daring to look up. When they did, the
devils packet, as they called the yes
sci, was skipping away from them,
pouring a black cloud from a huge
chimney amidships.
The pirates steered for land, deserted
their vessel and forever abandoned
their nefarious calling.
The devils packet was the first
steamer ever seen in the gulf Of Mex

CONDITION
OF CROPS
What Washington Weather Bureaus
Weekly Summary Shows,
INDIAN CORN FAIRLY GOOD.
Great western staple Not SO BADLY
Damaged by Frost and Rain
as Was Feared = status
Of other Crops.

Washington. Sept. 23.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary OF crop con
ditions is as follows.
While the week has been abnormally
cool, with general frosts throughout
the central valleys and as far south as
the northern portion Of the central gulf
states, the damage has not been seri-
Gus except in the extreme western por-
tons of Kansas and Nebraska, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New
England The south Atlantic states
have suffered from excessive moisture.
while the heavy rains Of the previous
week over the northern portions Of the
Missouri and upper Mississippi val
leys delayed thrashing Of spring wheat
and caused grain in shock to sprout.
Drought has been largely relieved ia
the east gulf states, but continues in
the Ohio valley, Tennessee and in the
central and west gulf states The Pa
eifie coast states have experienced a
very favorable week
Notwithstanding the occurrence Of
light to heavy frosts generally through
out the corn belt, the corn crop has
escaped injury except in the western
portions Of Kansas and Nebraska and
In the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wis
consin. While low temperatures have
prevented rapid ripening, especially
over the western districts, the crop as
a whole has advanced favorably. al
though the late planted in the Ohio
valley and Tennessee has suffered from
drought A large part Of the crop IS
now safe. but the bulk Of the unmas
tured will require from one to two
weeks Of favorable weather.
The spring wheat Harvest.
The weather has been favorable for
the completion Of spring wheat har-
vest on the north Pacific coast. In the
Dakotas and Minnesota spring wheat
in shock has been injured and thrash
ing delayed By wet weather
Except in portions Of the eastern dis
tFiets Of the cotton belt, where cotton
picking has been interrupted BY rains,
the weather conditions have been IA
yorable for gathering the crop, and
this work has progressed rapidly. The
prevalence Of rust. shedding and boil
worms is widespread. and the boil wee
vii in Texas continues destructive, al
though premature opening in South
Carolina, rust in Georgia and shedding
ID Alabama have been somewhat
checked. Heavy rains have injured the
staple in Georgia. South Carolina and
Florida. Cotton is opening rapidly in
all districts The outlook for a top
crop Is not promising.
Late tobacco has suffered from
drought in Tennessee and Kentucky,
and heavy rains in North Carolina and
frosts caused some injury in Kentucky.
Damp weather has proved injurious to
tobacco in barns in Maryland, The
bulk Of the crop is now housed.
The reports continue to indicate ex-
tensiye prevalence Of blight and decay
in potatoes.
Flowing and seeding have advanced
satisfactorily except in the Ohio val
ley and Tennessee, where the soil has
been too dry and In the northern por-
ton of the middle Atlantic states,
where there has been too much rain.

has it that Charles Thayer was

the darkness and the sprinting

outrun the bear and gained the
