The Man himself Studies.

What Is the cause Of criminal care
lessness?' Two years ago a man ask
ed me the above question. He had
been having trouble and have been
thinking about the subject ever since.
1t may be due to ignorance. Some
claim that people are not as good nor
as bad as they appear to be-if we
knew more we would be better. But
we will know more II we are any good
and have our goal in the right place.
The idea that experience Is dear
school but fools viii learn in no other,
might be revised to read: It Is a
wise man who learns by experience;
fools never learn. Though man Is
not to be blamed for being born ig-
norant. he can be blamed for re.
naming ignorant. and continued or
repeated carelessness may be called
criminal.

CHAPTER xI.-continued.


Then my lord Withdrew to his little
dungeon of cabin, and the two cap.
tains went on deck to pace a while
and smoke after their morning repast.
Dreadful as was the state Of Lord
Fttzgibbon 1t was not to last much
longer, for in the morning watch a
call right ahead was reported by the
man on the lookout. Grindal knew
his duty. The captain was not yet
turned out. The boatswain stepped
below and knocked Pope's cabin door.
"Hallo!" reared Pope.
A sail right ahead. SIR" answered
Grindal.
Trim sail" cried Pope. "and keep
your friend right under your flying
jihboom-end."
"Ay, ay. sir"
The boatswair returned on dock,
and In a very few minutes Captain
Pope stood by his side with his brill
liant telescope at his eye.
She shall take my lord" said
POPE, aloud. but to himself "Grlndal,
we want to make nothing off our
course: get neutrality-suspicious. rugged
out and the sails set, and load Long
Tom with a blank cartridge; he must

A little while after the gun was
fred the stranger swung her fore
topsau with a reel of her whole shape
'Sat made you think of man stag

and making low bow.
But, Captain Pope, she is sailing

"She shall tell us her destination, !"
exclaimed Pope with an engaging
smile. And while he spoke the Gypsy
fioated abreast of the little brigan-
tine, whose name. writ large upon her
stern, was the Catesby of Sunder.

wild and excited.

away. Put all your beef into this job. ;"
he shouted. "She's a government
boat. and she's after us. Look at
her!"
The pirates rushed about with won,
derful swiftness and alertness, heap
ing on canvas, and hoisting studding-
sails, till the little brig fioated large
as moon. When the Gypsy shifted
her helm. the schooner altered her
course; there could then be no doubt
she was In chase.
Another gun; and the fash OF the
round shot where 1t hit the heave
of blue waters past the Gypsys wake
was like feather of light.
When this shot few, Pope ordered
the stern-chaser to be loaded, and a
dose was slapped at the pursuer In a
roar of thunder.
What do you make of her, Crys-
tal?" said Pope, after prolonged
look through his telescope.
Hanged II l can understand it,"
answered the square man. She's no
government ship, believe; do you
twig the flicker of a pennant?"
Another flash from the schooner's
bow. This time the shot fell close;
the blast of the gun came In dull
thud on the wings of the wind.
Captain Pope" says Grindal. with
strangely contorted face, looking
round from the long brass piece upon
whose breech his gnarled and knotted
hand rested. curse me. IL don't
think she flies our flag
The conjecture was revelation to
Pope. He took another long look, in
the midst of which a fash of FIRE
glanced like lightning of storm at the
schooner's bow, and the ball struck
the briggs quarter.
Crystal" yelled Pope. ''hoist the
black flag; We'll chance it,"
In minute the sinister rag Of the
rover went soaring to the main royal
masthead. the helm was put down,
the yards were braced sharp up, and
the brig with quiyering leeches lay
waiting for the schooner, at whose
main-topmast head was now blowing
the black flag of the pirate.
When the briggs men saw that
square of sable bunting, stirless as
a painting In the wind, they roared,
they shouted they screamed; they
went mad with excitement, and spring
ing upon the bulwark rails cheered
the on-coming stranger with extraya-
CANT demonstration of arm and cap.
Gods, what would | give to ex-
change this butterbox for yonder
beauty" groaned Pope.
When the schooner had measured
space within a quarter of mile,
she shortened sail with magical celer.
ity. put her helm hard down. and with
fiattened-in sheets drove alongside OF
the brig.
A tall man whose beard shook like
smoke at HIS chin, who was draped in
short yellow coat under which his
long legs descended into a pair OF
sea-boots, hailed in good English but
with foreign accent:
