 Most respected sir" said Ichabod, If the fellows behave themselves properly and don't offer to fight us, then therell be no wickedness, bedad I can make good enough show of men to frighten any ordinary mer-. chant crew so that not a blow need be struck. And that is what I expect to do, sir I would not have any dis turbance before ladies, you may be sure of that, bedad. We bear down upon a vessel; we order her to sur render: we take what we want, and we let her go. Truly, there's no wick edness in that! And as for the dis grace, we can all better bear that than starve"
 MT Delaplaine looked at the pirate without word. He could not com prehend how man with such a frank and honest face could thus avow his dishonest principles. But as he gazed and wondered the thought of a scheme flashed across the mind of the merchant, thoroughly business-like scheme. This bold young pirate captain might seize upon such supplies as they were l in need of, but he, Felix Delaplaine, af Spanish Town, Jamaica, would pay for them. Thus might their necessities be relieved and their consciences kept clean. But he said nothing of this to | Ichabod; the pirate might deem such 8 proceeding unprofessionaI and in- terpose some objection. Payment would be the merchants part of the business, and he would attend to it himself, A look of resignation now came over MT. Delaplaine's face.
 Captain said he, 'fI must yield to your reasoni 1t is absolutely necessary \ that we shall not staFve"
 Ichabod's face shone and he held out his hand. "Bedad, sir,'' he cried, "I honor you as a bold gentleman and a kind gone. l will instantly lay my course somewhat to the eastward, and promise you, sir, 1t will not be long before we run across some of these merchant fellows. beg you, sir, speak to your ladies and tell them that there will be no unpleasant commo- t1on; we may draw our swords and make a fierce show, but, bedad, don't believe there'1l be any fighting. We shall want so Iittle-for I would not attempt to take regular prize with ladies on board-that the fellows vGll surely deliver what we demand, the quicker to make an end of it.'
 eff you are perfectly sure" said I Mir Delaplaine, that you can restrain your men from violence, I would like to be member of your boarding par l ty; it would be a rare experience for me-
 Now Capt Tchabod fairly shouted with delight.

 His eyes frightened. "I never thought of that said he. "Bedad- excuse me, Miss-some day when I've got little together and can pay my men I'll sell this sloop and buy a fafrm, bedad--I beg your pardon, Miss -I1l buy a farm.,'
 Kate smiled. but it was easy to see that Capt. Ichabod was In earnest.
 The next day Capt Ichabod came to MT. Delaplaine and took him to one side. T want to speak to you," he said, about bit of. business"
 You may have noticed, sir, that we are somewhat short of provisions, and the way of 1t is this. The night before we sailed, hoping to make a bold stroke at the card-table and thereby fit out my vessel in man ner suitable to the entertainment of a gentleman and ladies, I lost every penny had. I did hope that our pro visions would last us a few days longer, but I am disappointed, sir. That cook of mine, who Is a soft hearted fellow, hAs neck always ready for the heel Of a woman, has thrown overheard even tho few stores we had left for you. the good Dame Charter having told him they were not 1t to eat. And more. sir, even my men are yvumbling. So thought I would Tpeak to you and explain that it would De necessary for us to overhaul a mer- chantman and replenish our food sup ply. It can be done very quietly, sir. and I don't think that even the ladies need be disturbed"
 l MT. Delaplaine stared in amazement. ! Do you mean to say" he exclaimed, that you want me to consent to your committing piracy for our benefit"
 'Yes, sir" answered the captain, that's what suppose you would call 1t; but that's my business"
 Now, sir, wish you to know that am a Christian and gentleman 2 said MT Delaplaine.
 That's all very true, hedad," said Capt Ichabod, but you're also an other thing; you're human being. and you must eat
 This is terrible" exclaimed the merchant. 'sthat at. my time of life ]

with us, sir. Your presence will aid greatly in making our hoped-for cap ture most orderly affair; no one can look upon you. bedad, without know ing that you are a high-minded and honorable man, and would not take a box or case from anyone If you did not need 1t. Now, sir, we shall put about, and by good fortune we may soon sight merchantmen. Even if it be but a coastwise trader, it may serve our purpose"
 MT. Delaplaine, with something of a smile upon his sedate face, hurried to Kate, who was upon the quarter-deck.
 My dear, we are about to introduce a little variety into our dull lives. As soon as we can overhaul merchant man we shall commit piracy. But don't turn pale; have arranged it all."
 "You!" exclaimed the wide-eyed Kate.
 Yes" said her uncle. and he told his tale.
 And remember this, my dear" he added; If we cannot. pay, we do not eat. shall be as relentless as the bloody Blackboard: if they take not my money. shall swear to Ichabod that we touch not their goods"
 And are you sure," she said, "that there will be no b1oodshed?"
 "I vouch for that" said he, flor I shall lead the boarding party
 She took him by both hands. Why" she said, .sit need be no more than laying in goods from store house; and cannot but be glad, dear uncle, for am so very, very hungry
 The captain came. up, excited. Even now, bedad," he cried, "there are two sails in sight-one far north, and the other to the eastward, beat ing up this way. This one we shall make for We have the wind with us, which is a good thing, for the Rest less is a bad sailer and has lost many 8 prize through that fault. And now, miss,' he said, addressing Kate, "I shall have to ask your leave to take down that English flag and run up our Jolly Roger. It will be necessary, for if the fellows fear not our long guns, they may change their course and get away from us.''
 That will be right" said Kate: If we're going to be pirates, we might as well be pirates out and out"
 Capt Ichabod gicwed with delight. What a girl this was, and what an uncle!''
 It was not long, for the Restless ha a fair wind, before the sail to the east ward came fully into sight She was in good truth, a merchantman, ant not a large one. Dame Charter, yer. much excited, wondered what sh would have on board.

Arecent traveller in arctic Siberia, Mr. Vanderlip, gold hunter, tells the fol- lowing of his return to civilization: T found that half a dozen of the officers and men of the steamer which my em- ployers had sent for me had come to hunt me up. The captain dismounted and I tried to address him in Russian, but he said: You forget that I speak Eng lish.' Now it may seem scarcely credi- ble, and yet.it is true, that for few mo- ments I was totally unable to converse with him in my native tongue. had not used word of it in conversation for months, and nay low physical condition acting on my nerve, confused my mind and I spoke a tumble of English, Rus sian and Korak. It was week before T could talk good, straight English again"
