coast, and he and his father-in-law
and Mrs. Jackman went ashore. When
Jackman returned to his ship, the men
seized him, swearing they were not
going to be hanged for pirates, and
they locked this Jackman up In his
cabin, and carried the brig to the
Thames and handed her over. jack
man sprang through the cabin window
and was drowned. He did well. He
was a ruined man and a felon."
"The biggest fool" said Captain
Crystal, that ever took charge OF

on representations of honesty, to tell
them, before they were out of sight
of Execution Dock, that the briggs
colors were the black flag.

Mr. Staunton quickly and eagerly
began to write, talking meanwhile.
His writing was soon ended. "Show

of age. He showed cutlass scar over
his nose, and 1t fixed the expression Of
a surly frown upon his face. He was
very broad, as powerfully built as
Pope, dressed In sailors worn clothes;
but as In Pope, so in this man, there
was wickedness In his looks.
Captain Pope closed his knife and
fork and watched the other for some
minutes in silence. Then he got up and
looked over into the box on either
hand, then sat little closer opposite
Crystal, and said, This is the adver-
tlsement | was telling you about" He
read in low voice as follows:
Brig Gypsy-This beautiful and
admirable clipper ship having been
condemned by the Admiralty has been
purchased by private gentleman, who
has laid out considerable sum Of
money in completing her equipment
She is now for sale, and may DE had
at very great bargain. Parties dis
posed to purchase her will apply to
Mr.. Staunton in the Minories."
TITS the strangest matter that ever

ing with cautious face. "a man had
a father who left him a brig and a
trife in cash. Jackman was his name.
He got command, but it was plain the
sea didn't satisfy him. He came
ashore with a bag Of fifteen hundred
pounds, and pretended to have been
knocked down and robbed. There is
no doubt he stole the money. The
owners did not seem able to prove
anything and the next traverse this
man Jackman set out to work was
the painting and equipplng of his brig,

he was followed out of one of the
reaches by government cutter. They
exchanged shots, and the pirate
brought the cutters mast down. Jack

He tore few coins out of his pocket

upon the table. Pope, folding his arms,

OF What AvaiI2

Senator Hanna's expression of fer
vid faith in a protective tariff as a
means of promoting prosperity seems
to have Jared upon the nerves Of the
New York Evening Post. No free
trader likes to hear or read that kind
OF talk. SO the Evening Post sneer-
ingly says:
with his praise Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
he mingled greater praise Of the high
tariff. II was a miraculously perfect
thing. II was the cause OF all our
prosperity. OF what avail was II for
the Creator to give MS forests and
mines, until the party OF protection
came along and offered Americans a
tariff bounty to work them?"
To be perfectly frank with our free
trade neighbor. we don't mind saying
that until the party Of protection
came along" the people Of this country
we're not realizing much out Of the

CHAPTER |
Pope and CRYSTAL,


Il was one Tuesday in the city Of
London, in the early part of the last
century, and the large dining-room Of
the Mitre tavern was full of hungry
men sitting in boxes and giving hoarse
notes to their wants. The beet-pot
foamed at their elbows as they ate
with will. They bore the true aspect
of the children of the deep; you would
have known them when they hove in
sight mile off by their clothes and
cut.
Jenkinson went about noddlng to
this man and to that, calling deep
pitched answers in response to friend
ly greetings. He stopped at box at
whose table sat one figure only. This
was captain in the merchant service
named Pope, fine, tall man of very
noble build. He had merry eye with
something careless and cruel In its
glance and light; an Irish eye blue and
arch. But to-day the face that over
hung his plate, chewing steadily, with
Jenkinson staring at him, was long
one.
WELL Captain" said Jenkinson,
have you got ship YETI"
Don't talk of it," cried Captain
Pope with passion "The pavements
are full Of helpless oilers. They wander
starving and forlorn."
Jenkinson smiled sarcastcally.
Don't tell me-" he said There are
always plenty Of ships, and where
there are ships there is demand ana
room for good men,"
The other shrugged his shoulders
and bit his food with anger.
Just then a middle-sized man came
to the entrance Of the box, and Jenkln-
son stood up.
"How dye do, Captain Crystal?
What are your commands?" Crystal
named his joint, and seated himself
opposite Captain Pope, and Jenklnson
went away.
This Crystal was a very rugged

Why Eve PIueked the Apple.

Theodosia Garrison was dining out
the other night, and the conversation
turned upon various kinds of food.
The gentleman who had taken her in
to dinner, and who prided himself on
knowing as much as doctor about
foodstuffs, declared that apples were
excellent for the vitality of the brain
because of the phosphoric acid which
they contain in large quantities.
"Oh, then It is quite clear" said
the poetess, that Eve only plucked
that apple to supply Adam with a few
ideas. New York Times.
