Look to Your sleeyea.

The changes in the sleeves, like
those Of other parts of the dress, are
gradual, but steady. The undersleeve
effect is paving the way for the long,
sloping shoulder that belonged to our
grandmothers' gowns. To match
that, bodice trimmings will slip lower
on the corsage and the peculiar fall.
Ing off effect that We see In, old
daguereotypes will before long be in
vogue. This effect is already notice
able in some of the models intended
for high-class trade-the trade that
deals with the individual rather than
with the class. The first token Of this
oncoming style is seen in the pushing
up of the puff from the wrist toward
the shoulder. Some French models
sent over have, in fact, the wellde.
fined shoulder puff that was worn for
ty years ago in the days of hoop
skirts and berthas.

CHAPTER VII.
The Black FIaa.

The pirates worked with will By
daybreak all the cargo was trans
shipped. 1t had been a hard nights
task. but the men had toiled with des-
perate will, so eager were they to get
clear of the plundered craft before
the light of heaven shone upon the
sea.
The fog rolled away before the
breaking splendor in the east, and the
sea opened fair and blue. The Prus-
sian brig lay lashed alongside, but
with tenders between. When the YES
sells were released the Gypsy sided
off to the impulse of the faint air that
stirred her jibs and topsails. And
when she had floated distance of ten
times her own length they brought
her to a stand, boat was lowered,
and Captain Crystal and five pirates
went on board the plundered ship to
leave her in such trim as would not
excite the suspicion of the passing
mariner, unless he came very close
and hailed her.

Pope sat down on ms yfyngft ans'
his square companion seated himself
| beside him.
Il quite agree with you" says Pope
that burying schemes ought not to be
entertained. I'll not lightly hazard
| what it will have kept my neck IN
| jeopardy to get. But should not the
egg FIRST be laid before we talk of
sitting upon it?''
"Ay but consider this" exclaimed
| Crystal, glancing at the fellow at the
helm, who was trying to overhear
| them: you're going to cruise in such
degrees for a certain ship. She APP
pears on a sudden" Pope rolled up
his eyes with devotional look I'VE
| board her: we find as much treasure
as will satisfy u.s." Again Pope looked
up to heaven, and the man at the
| wheel, catching the word treasure,
| strained his neck "And so you've
got your egg" continued Crystal, Sin
a manner of speaking all in a minute.
| Should not the Matching of it have
| been settled? AS soon as we've got
what we want you and nell wish to
| go clear"
LAS fast as we can storm through
| it," answered Pope.
Then, sir, we ought to have our
plans cut and dried now that we are
heading for the Spaniard's course"
| Crystal said burying a dark-ended
| stump of forefinger in the bowl of his
~, IN ci1p 10 emit in m
| the sea.
Pope smiled at his square vigorous
| figure, and on his returning said,
1.-THE scheme I'm disposed to fix upon
| is this: We shall doubtless fall in
with a small vessel of handy size, aft
er we have looted the Spaniard You
will take charge. and I will man her
with few of the best of our people.
We will sail in company till we come
| to the place that's agreed upon by all
hands; we win then transfer our share
of the booty to your vessel, and shall
surrender the brig and the mems
share of plumber remaining in her, to
them. What dye say?" asked Pope
| with a twinkle in his eye that was like
raindrop trembling in breeze.
Crystals face worked with the
| chewing of the cud of thought. He
| said, When take charge of the Other
vessel all the plumbers to be left
| aboard here?"
Till we come to an agreed place"
answered Pope. 1T is a scheme"
said he with shrug, seeing disaffec-
ton in the square mans countenance.
I'm or sailing right away for the
coast of Cumberland and smuggling
my money ashore. We may make an
other Oak job of it, and the risks

snap his finger.
And where will this brig go?"
"The crew must settle that"

Then the five rogues and their mate,

toward the Gypsy, which lay athwart

rope was looking through his glass
at the woman in the window.
81 did not notice that window in her
cabin" said he to Crystal while the
men were hosting the boat. What
does she say?"
IF was Prussian / could tell yer,
Pope" answered Crystal.
Our leaving that ship afloat and
the people in her to be rescued and
to tell their story proves, Jonathan,
| that We are new to our trade" says
Pope grimly. "The old red-pawed
wolf, after sacking her, would have
sunk her and all she contained, living
and dead. But | am determined to
carry out my scheme" says he, with
| one of his arch looks, "as politely as
possible. And you know I've been
praying while you've been away that
we may have the luck to fall in with
one of Duncans or Peterson's ships"
These had been among those whom
he and Crystal had served, and Peter
| son was the man who had made prom
ises of command to Crystal which he
did not keep. Crystal ground his
| teeth.
All the morning was passed in stow
ing away the plunder and repairing
the trifling damages aloft. Shortly
after eight bells (noon) the Prussian
| brig was on the horizon and a large
ship was apparently heading for her.
| Pope watched them with curiosity;
the large ship passed the brig and
sailed on. and by two o'clock the plum
| dered vessel was out of sight. The
| Gypsy was held to her course of west
| by south and no notice was taken of
\ the ships in sight. Not likely that
Pope would plumber in the sight OF
help. He wanted darkness or a lonely
sea girdle.
| In the afternoon Pope and the other
captain walked the deck together and
talked over their plans and hopes.
The seamen in various parts of the
brig loafed and lounged, and some at.
tended to such trifiing jobs as the
boatswain put them to. and all of
them smoked to a man.
II should like to know" said Crys-
tai, taking Pope's cigar from his hand
to light his pipe afresh with it, ''if
you've got any more fixed and clear
ideas as to the division and the Sc.
curing, every man, to the plumber
his whack; for" he suffered, Sup.
pose am to take up a thousand
pound"
"A plague on your modesty," inter
! rupted Pope.
Five thousand pound then" cried
Crystal, shouting the words with some
momentary emotion of excitement.
How do you propose that I'm to deal
with that lump of metal so as to bring
1t off without being challenged, tried
and banged?"

CHAPTER XI-continued.


Pope instantly saw how it was--a
and he delivered these orders in a
voice that rang like the notes of a
bugie through the brig:

| mean to board that fellow. He's
been sent to provision u.s."
The arms-chests had been slowed
away very conveniently to hand, as
may be supposed, in a little division
in the afterhold called the lazarette,
gained by small hatch in the cabin
deck, Thither Crystal and some men
rushed; the cabin lamp gave them
light They came up with armfuls of
cutlasses and number of pistols, and
the two captains heading about ten
armed men of their crew, sprang from

ran with terrifying shouts along her
decks.

while the pirate crew came storming
to the quarterback.
Forward with ye," yelled Pope,
flourishing his sword about the ears
Of the fat captain.
Away with ye," bawled Crystal,
striking the mate a thump between
the shoulders which set him running.
And amid cries and excavations, and
the stamp of feet, and the laughter of
men along the rail of the Gypsy, the
whole of the crew, with the immense
swelled captain among them, were
swept forward and tumbled into the
forecastle through the little scuttle
and battened down.
A few of the men were left on deck.
The others followed Captain Pope and
Captain Crystal down the companion
hatch into the strangers living room.
A lamp of several tints of glass
burned under the little skylight. I'm.
der the lamp, at a square table, per-
fectly visible in the white luster that
streamed downward, sat stout wom-
an In hat with large feather
trembling round II, and two immense
ly thick lengths of hair pale as hay
lying in braids like sennit upon her
back. She held her fat hands clasped
upon her lap, and some fine rings
flashed upon them. Pope took heed
of this. He made her one of his lofty
bows and exclaimed, Good evening,
madame, do you speak English?"
She stared at him motionless. He
knew few words of French and tried
her with that tongue. She continued
to stare at him. Pope, though a pi-
rate, was not a pickpocket, and find
ing the lady mute, stirless and sense
less with terror. he cast his eyes at
the rings upon her fingers, and at
bright gold chain round her neck. He
put his hand upon the rings. Instant
Iy the poor woman sent up an ear
splitting shrek, yet she remained
seated, though she fell back in her
chair
81 don't mean to hurt you," said the
captain. But" and grasping her
wrist he dexterously drew the rings
off her fingers, pocketed them. and
with great agility whipped the gold
chain over her hat. These things the
captain put into his pocket.
Crystal came out of the afterhold
of the main and reported the contents
So far as it was possible to gather by
the light of the candle and the bulls
eye, he had discovered cheeses, hams
some casks of what he thought might
prove Hollands, casks of moist sugar
and many cases of tobacco.
The other cabins contained little
that was useful or valuable. Pope
went on deck. The weather remained
very dark and quiet. Thu locked YES
sci rolled softly on the long breathing
Of the sea, with an occasional thump
or jerk that was made SOL and harm
less by Tenders.
The ten armed seame- who had fol-
lowed the two captains into the YES
sci, came Iurching in twos and threes
on to the quarterback, and hung about
the commander and his mate listen

ward.
