sailor! You are no better than a blind man led by a dog-if the dog breaks away from him he is lost, and if the sailing-masters you pick up one after another break away from you, you are lost. It is a cursed shame. Stede Bonnet, and it shall be no longer. At this moment, by my own right and for the sake of every man who sails under the Jolly Roger, take away from you the command of the Revenge"
 Now Bonnet could not refrain from springing to his feet. "Take from We the Reyenge!" he cried, my own vessel, bought with my own money! And how say you I am not a pirate? From Massachusetts down the coast Into these very waters I have preyed upon commerce, I have taken prizes, have burned ships, I have made my name terror"
 Now his voice grew stronger and his tones more angry.
 Not 8 piratel' lie cried "Go ask the ga1laons and the merchantmen have stripped and burned; go ask their crews. now wandering in misery upon desert shores, if they be not already dead. And by what right, I ask, do you come to such an one as am and declare that, having put me in the position of prisoner on your ship, you will take away my own?"
 Blackboard gazed at him with half closed eyes, malicious smile upon bis face.
 'I have no right" he said; "I need DO right; I am pirate!"
 At these words Bonnet's legs weak ened under him and he sank down upon the bench. As he did so he glanced at Ben Greenway as if he were the only person on earth to whom he could look for help, but to his amazement he saw before him face almost jubilant, and beheld the Scotch man, his eyes uplifted and his hands clasped as if in thankful prayer.

Ancient Paints.

The paint used In Babylon and Nineyeh and in Pompeii was composed of pig ments mixed not with oil but with water, to which had been added a little glue egg albumen. or perhaps sometimes casein, which is albuninous matter from milk or thes gluten from cereal grains Glue, however, WAS the most universal bind- ing material. Such paints are known as fresco paints or water colors. They have not gone out of use, as is illustrated by the reported statement that the New York rapid transit subway walls are to be painted throughout with some of these preparations.

 Black Paul, the sailing master, had returned to his vessel early in the morning, feeling the necessity of keep ing watch over the cargo. but most of the men came over much later, wbile some Of them did not come at all
 Bonnet was greatly inclined to pun ish with an unwonted severity this breach of rules, but Black Paul assured Aim that it was always the custom for the crew of a newly arrived vessel to go ashore and have good time, and that If they were denied this privilege they would be sure to mutiny, and he might be left without any crew at all. Bonnet grumbled and swore, but, as Le was aware there were several things concerning a nautical life with which he was not familiar, he deter mined to let pass this trespass.
 Dressed in his finest clothes, and even better than the day before, he was followed into the boat by Ben Greenway, who vowed his captain should never travel without his chap lain, who, If his words were consid- cred, would be the most valuable of fcer on the vessel.
 Come, then. Greenway," said Bon net; you have troubled me so much on my own vessel that now. perchance, you may be able to do me some service on that of another. Anyway, should like to have least one decent person in my train who. an you come not,

at this port which sought refuge there
after the naval battle off Port Arthur,
to leave the port within twenty-four

that vessels have lowered tn Fir colors"

Russian View Of the Ride Into the
Jaws of Death.
That the charge Of the Light brigade
seemed to onlo0kers a piece Of magDifi-
cent folly is evident from all reminis-
cences of that day. First came the at
tack Of the heavy brigade upon 5000
Russian cavalry. Then later in the day
the attempt to recapture seven guns
taken from the Turks by the Russians
in their first advance upon the re-
doubts led to the charge OF the Light
brigade
when we saw the English coming
at u.s. says q Russian soldier, there
was but one thought. What foolsp we
said We never dreamed they would
charge.
Ivan Ivanovitch, a Russian survivor
of the day, says in his 'Recollections:''
eve were so sorry for them They
were fine soldiers and had such fine
horses. But the charge--it was the
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand it, had been in the
charge of the heavy brigade in the
morning and was wounded. We had
Ill unsaddled and were tired. Sudden
~ there was cry, The English are
coming"
"Our colonel was angry and ordered
the men to give no quarter
II was lying down, with my wound
bandaged, when I saw them coming
We thought they were drunk from the
way they held their lances. Instead Of
carrying them under their a1mpits they
waved them in the air. Of course they
were easier to guard against like that.
'"Those men were mad and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them nor Of the fear
full slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us and dashed in
among u.s. shouting, cheering and ours
ing. / never saw anything like it.
They were irresistible and our men
were quite demoralzed.

GRANTS SYMPATHY.
Tribute of "a Southern Woman to the
Generals Kindly Nature.

Tribute of Southern Woman to the
Generals Kindly Nature.
The sympathetic side of General
Grants nature, as every one knows,
was very strong A few days after
the surrender of Vicksburg a southern
lady hurried to his quarters to ask for
information about her husband Of
whose safety she had heard conflict
ing reports. The general replied that
he could not give her the information.
she desired, but that he would send
an orderly at once to find out the facts
for her. When the man returned with
the news that her husband was safe
the southern woman's eyes filled with
tears of gratitude, while tears of sym
pathy showed on the cheeks Of Gener-
al Grant On another occasion--it was
years after-at banquet in Vicksburg
given him when he was making tour
of the southern states one was heard
expressing her gratitude to him for
past kindnesseS. AS he replied to her
two tears rolled slowly down his
cheeks
For little children and old people
General Grant showed special sympa-
thy. Many who were small foes in
those days remembered his way of
drawing them to him and impressing
kiss on cheek or brow.
One old lady who afflicted her
friends by her propensity for smok-
ing was often the recipient of a good
cigar from him. The gift was fully
appreciated, as the generals stock was
always Of the best. When he was i'll
in Washington she sent him some wild
flowers ''from the hills of Vicksburg,"
for which a letter of thanks was
promptly returned. Subsequently,
when she visited Washington, she was
kindly received by the president, who,
to her delight, presented her with some
more of his good cigars. Gray
