On the whole this mail booty was
not disappointing. Pope kept the
newspapers to read; there was no lit
erature in the little ship, and he be-
lieved these West Indian journals
would interest Miss Crystal. When
the bags had been thoroughly sacked,
every letter and parcel opened and
flung away, Pope read out the figures
he had entered and told the men how
much more they were worth in solid
money since eight bells had been
struck.
Are YOU satisfied" he said.
Yes, they were all satisfied.
Mark now, my hearts" he ex-
claimed, that this is only the begin
ming: this cruise isn't up until I'm
worth ten thousand pounds, and yen
all be rich men when that's been
brought about. You can fill your cans
and drink success; this is good days
work"
Going aft Capt. Pope met Laura
ascending the companion way from
her cabin. He stopped at once, with
his usual low bow and flourish.
Have you searched the mails?" she
asked. -a
Yes" he answered, leaning oppo-
site 10 her against bulkhead and
laughing, and adoring her. -
What did you find?" -.. t..
Certain things proper to enrich
u.s." he replied. .. .-
How can you have the heart to
steal, Captain Pope?" 49,.
Because, besides my hand, must
possess en- estate to lay at your feet"
This was put in a rather Irish way,
and unconsciously there was touch
of the brogue in his delivery. His
accent amused her and she smiled,
and then looked up at Crystal, lit
tie piece OF whom she could Just
catch a sight of as he sat on the edge
OF the skylight.
IF you had been the owner of the
Thetis, l should not find you an ad-
vocato. for piracy" said Miss Laura
who seemed disposed to linger, as
though she enjoyed a conversation

with the heroic Irishman, while her
cousin sucked his old pipe above.
II dare not argue with you," said
Pope "Your eyes drive the logic out
of my head. Miss Crystal-Miss
Laura-Laura." he cried, with sud-
den passion which anybody might see
he could not control, you will be my
wife?"
The piece of Crystal that was show
ing in the skylight disappeared his
newspaper fluttered and vanished like
butterfly.
ut is ridiculous!" she answered,
with nothing but faint tremble of
voice to mark loss of self-control.
1--WE are strangers-we are scarcely
known to each other"
You could not be better known to
me-" he exclaimed, approaching her
and seizing her hand, which she al
lowed him to retain, had we sailed
round the world together"
Just as he said this Captain Crystal
came down the companion steps.
"Are you coming on deck, Laura?"
says he, pausing.
"Why do you object to this young
lady being in my company" said
Pope, and he looked at Crystal with
dangerous eyes. as.~~- -..... ...
my wish is that my cousin should
be left along by you while she's
aboard this brig" replied Crystal, in
harsh and savage voice.
Pope, without unfolding his arms,
with the same dangerous expression
burning in his blue eyes, eyed him
critically for a moment or two, as
though hesitating to decide whether
he was drunk or mad. He then said,
pointing with rapid, menacing ges-
ture to the companion hatch:
Go on deck, sir, and look after the
ship"
Come you with me-" called out
Crystal TO Laura, and the girl, with
a single glance Of entreaty and fear
at Captain Pope, at once arose and
went up the steps after her cousin.
Pope stood for some moments lost
in thought leaning with his hand upon
the table. Il who murdered" ran his
thought, II who, at the risk of my
life, plundered the old woman, not
less IN his interests than in my own.
But" he continued to muse, then,
pondering deeply, he stepped into his
CABIN.
Il hope you have not asked me to
come on deck to quarrel with me,
says Laura, fastening her eyes, full of
spirit and temper, upon Crystals rug
ged, storm-turrowed face.
II know my duty as your relation, I"
he answered, "and know what Popes
duty is as gentleman. I'll do mine,
so help me the gods; and he'll have
to do his" he answered, stepping so
as to oblige her to walk with him.
But he is doing his duty as gem
tleman!" exclaimed the girl, with a
mounting color. Hes kind to me,
and courteous. 1t is you who are bru-

CITY SWALLOWED By THE SEA
Dunwich, Eng, Once Had SO Churches
One Still Stands in Ruins.

One Still Stands in Ruins.
Dunwich, some half dozen miles
from Southwood, Eng, was once the
capital of East Anglia, a town of great
Importance, the home of bishops and
palaces, visited by kings. sung of by
poets; it is now little more than a
ruin.
Some idea of it's size may be gath
cred from Slows lines: Strong walls
and brazen gates enclose kings
court, a bishops palace, mayors
mansion, SO churches, and as many
windmills. together with spacious
harbor, in which there were ships as
many as the churches"
Such was the glory of Dunwich
which began its history in the seventh
century, as center of early Christian
ity, and reached it's greatest position
in the 18th century; but what a very
different spectacle the hamlet presents
to-day!
The breakers, which rush in from
the German ocean, have swept the
town nearly all away. Bit by bit the
tide has encroached; it has worked
it's way into and under the sandy, rock.
less cliffs, and year by year churches
and houses have been claimed by the
remorseless deep. -.. ...
The sea has been encroaching for
centuries along the east coast of Eng.
land, while it has been receding as
steadily along the west coast of Fin
land, where the harbors are now up
on the dry land and the remains of
piers are miles from the water.
Dunwich now only possesses one
whole church and that lettering on
the edge of the cliffs, does not look as
if it could weather many more storms.
The tower is crumbled and cracked
and the building itself a ruin.-Queen
