hours from midnight to dawn were
quiet ones, though the breeze grew
stronger as the night advanced and
when dawn came at last an angry sea
was getting up, and there were indi-
cations that half a gale would be
blowing before noon. The captain and
Nancy were on deck at the first signs
of dawn, and. as the light spread over
the sea. the man who had been sent
to the masthead to survey the waters
cried down to the decks:

sky and the sea. In two hours from
this no boat can live"
The Mary Ann" changed her
course, and in half an hour was up
with the first boat. The five were
strung out for distance of a mile,
and it was the work of a true sailor
to get them under his lee and the
people on board in safety. 1t took
three hours to accomplish it, as eight
women and six children and two
wounded men had to come up in
sling, and there We're sixty-two people
in all. As the last boat was cleared
OF her last occupant and set adrift, the
seas We're running wild and hungry
and the brig pitching bows under.

for the English Channel.
After midnight the wind began to
lose strength. and by sunrise there
was only a moderate breeze. Break
fast had been served after a fashion,
when a sail was sighted to the east
But little attention was paid to the
stranger until it was realized that he
was making a course to head the brig
Then he was given a careful looking
over, and it was the captain of the
lost Bombay ship who finally said:
Capt. Hopewell. that chap is a pir-
ate-the anne one who attacked me!
I can make out where he has patched
the shot-holes drilled in his canvas
and he's made a rough job of repair
ing his hull
The news that another pirate had
been signed flashed through the brig
and men began cursng and women
lamenting So far as could be judged
the rover was the swifter craft.
There isn't any show for us" said
the British captain. as he noted that
the pirate was making more sail. I'VE

our threats cut

claimed Capt Hopewell, as he looked
around on the pale-faced men, IF

NANCY HOPEWELL'S DREAM
By M. QUAD.

I'm all in a tremble over it,"
BY Josh, then, but that's funnyl''
exclaimed the captain, as he regarded
her more seriously.
This was the dream" she said, as
she looked about nervously: Il saw
two ships fighting. one was a brig
ana flew black flag, and the other
was an English merchantmen with
many men aboard. l did not see the
end of the fight, but the dream
changed, and l saw open boats at sea
three, four, five of 'em. The people
in the boats were English, and there
were soldiers, sailors and women and
children. Elisha, as true as l live |
believe that some terrible thing has
happened"
But it might have been a thousand
miles away" he said.
Il don't think so. 1 believe that
merchantmen was one of the English
India ships, and that the pirate was a
Portuguese. This would be about the
track of the India ships, wouldn't it?"
Exactly that?"
Then, Elisha. beg of you to
heave the brig to until daylight. I'm
almost certain that We'll see those
boats by sunrise"
by Josh, Nancy, but am l to lose
a fair wind for four or five hours on
account of wonans dream?" shout
ed the captain.
But we are not making five knots
an hour, Elisha. You wouldn't be that
cruel to leave those poor people atloat
to battle with the sea-"
But who knows that any one is
afloat? 1t was only your dream"
But it was such dream that ]
even saw the frightened faces of the
women and heard the children wall

Nancy Hopewell was far from being
| an emotional woman. Never had the
| captain seen her so agitated before

HOW TO CARE FOR CUT GLASS.

beautiful cut glass in their possession,
ard it is usual for il 10 lose much OF its
original color and lustre. Carafes and
bottles are especially neglected, being
most difficult 10 clean. a medium stir
brush should be kept for scrubbing
the pieces, and little intelligence used
in handling them. Unless there is II
prejudice against having poisons OF
any kind in the house-and that Is
very sensible prejudice-keep a little
bottle of muriatic acid on hand. Po-
tato parings are almost as good for
cleaning inside of bottles. etc Never
plunge cut glass into very hot or very
cold water; never set ii on marble O.
in a draught after washing. Cut glass
has singular propensity TO break
neatly in two when a cold draught
strikes q damp piece. To clean ear
afe cut up some potato parings and
put in the bottle with a little lukewarm
water. Allow this TO stand for an
hour, then shake will for several min
utes. Empty and wash in soapy warDi
water. Rinse In clear warm water and
