Why They're Poor

purses.
They think the world owes than .
living.
They do not keep account Sf EAssz
expenditures.
They are easy dupes ok DchsmarS and
promoters.
They reverse the maxtm--Duty be-
fore pleasure"
They have too many and too Hpen-
sive amusements-
They do not think Il worth whilS q
save .nickels and dimes
They have risked a oompetsuce IN
trying to get rich quickly.
The parents are economical, but tia
children have extravagant ideas
They do not do to-day what they can
possibly put of until tomorrow.
They do not think 1t worth while to
put contracts or agreements In writ
ing.
They prefer to incur debt rather than
to do work which they consider be-
meath them.
They do not dream that little mort
cages on their homes can ever turn
them out Of doors.
They have fndorSed their friends
notes or guaranteed payment just for
accommodation.
They risk all their eggs IN one bas-
ket. when they are not IN a position to
watch or control it.
They think it will be time enough 20
begin to save for rainy day when the
rainy day comes.
The head of the house is a good man.
but he has not learned to do business
in a businesslike way.
The only thing the daughters accom-
pIish is to develop fondness for smart
clothes and expensive jewelry.
They do not realize that one expen-
sive habit may introduce them to a
whole family Of extravagant habits.
They do not know that giving a full
power-of-attorney to an agent or law
yer puts their property at his mercy.
On a six-hundred-dOllar income, they
try to compete in appearance with a
two-thOusand-dollar neighbor.
They subscribe for everything that
comes along-organs. lightning rods,
subscription books, pictures, bric-a-
brac-anything they can pay for on the
iIstallment plan.
They have not been able to make
much in the business they understand
best, but have thought that they could

dark but / turned on the bullseye.
The scuttle to the forepeak was in
the middle of the floor. 1t, too, was
padlocked. One of the men found a
fire ak, and with few heavy cuts
removed the lock. We pulled it off
and, with the lantern open, 1 descend
ed, followed by the three sailors.
l found myself in a crowd of gap
ing. blinking men, all manacled at the
wrists, some lying down, some stand
ing. all staring in stupid astonish-
ment.
What's up, sir?" asked one at last.
Then they recognized their escaped
shipmate. He explained the situation
In few sentences. Such starved
looking lot of men 1 had, never seen;
all were thin. dirty and haggard. But
there was no time to lose: / climbed
the ladder again, every man following.
We passed quickly through the fore
castle, out on deck and aft to the
cabin.
I think I shall never forget the
fiendish look that came over the skip
per's pale face as those six manacled
men crowded into the cabin. He had
what might be termed handsome
face, refined, white, delicate, but for
all that not pleasant to look upon.
His mouth twitched nervously. 1 had
seen just such a mouth before on a
notorious gambler and desperate in
the West on trial for his life.
Now" said Jackson to the mate,
where's the key to those handouts?
Remember, these are war times, and
we came here to kill. I'd a blamed
sight rather kill you than some poor
innocent Spaniard."
The mate hesitated a second, then
growled
In my room-top Of the wash
basin.'
The key was found and the men
relieved Of the irons. They had chafed
raw bruises about their wrists. Mean
while, the man whom the captain had
shot was carried down from deck; he
was one Of our sailors. The bullet had
gone through his ear, grazing his skull.
Although he bled profusely, he show
ed signs of returning consciousness.
From the captains cabin we procured
some whisky and the wounded man
was soon on his feet.
Now, captain" said Jackson, were
all goin to drink to your eternal dam
nation, and you've got to drink, too.
If you don't we'll send you there at
once"

gested one of the crew.
so he shalt" cried Jackson, the flash
of his eyes heightened by a swig from
the whisky bottle, IAN you're the man
to feed it to him!"
A bottle of sauce was brought from
the pantry, and grasping it firmly the
sailor applied the neck to the skipper's
mouth. He struggled fiercely, but to no
avail. A good dose went down, al
though nNst was spilled over his face
and night shirt.
How dye like it?' asked the sailor.
maliciously. Don't taste good, do it?
didn't like it, neither"
We were about to favor the mate in
a similar manner when one of the SOL
diers whom we had left to watch on
deck came tumbling down the compan-
ionway.
'.Fellers," he cried. there's a boat
comin'i'
1t took Jackson to grasp the situation
instantly.
"Off with the lazarette scuttle!" he
cried.
In a moment we had uncovered the
hatch in the cabin floor. We quickly
gagged the three prisoners with hand
kerchiefs and unceremoniously hurled
them down, replacing the hatch. All
except Jackson and crowded into the
three empty staterooms. shutting the
doors. Jackson and<I held a hurried
consultation. Then 1 went on deck and

"Silver Star, ahoy!' came the hail.

uniform.

sponded.

why, saw big shark alongside
and took pop at him."
The officer looked about him rather
suspiciously, I thought, but asked no
more questions. Finally he volun-
teered:
You forgot to hoist your boat"
I acknowledged the oversight.
He stayed about ten minutes, even
entered into a brief conversation about

Spaniards were soon expected to make
another sortie. 1 feigned great inter-

last. Don't be popping off your gun

He dropped into his launch, and with
a few coughs it shot off toward the
flagship.
Jackson had heard all.
Bully. old boy" he cried. grasping
my hand. Now, let's sneak as soon's
we can"
Leaving our prisoners to be released
by the stevedores in the morning, we
all crowded into the boat and silently
pulled for the beach below Cavite. In
half an hour our keel scraped pebbles.
The seven men, the crew Of the Nova
Seotiamen, waded ashore, Jackson and
/ with them.
Now, feIlers," said Jackson, as we
reached land, you hit the road for
Camp Dewey Scatter among the out
fits and the boys'n treat you we'll I'm
coming ashore in a few days, and I'll
see you then"
And they left us.
We pulled cautiously back to the
Zealandia, reaching her an hour before
dawn. My watchmate met US at the
gangway and helped make the boat
fast astern. The men retired at once,
while took up my post at the gang
way. An hour later the chief officer
appeared
We'll, how have things gone during
the night?'' he asked.
Good" replied; and meant what
said.
1t became known next day through
out the fleet that the Nova Scotiaman
had been boarded by pirates during
the night, as the captain put 1t, and
that his crew had decamped, but no
discoveries were ever made. The naval
officers had something more serious to
consider than capturing runaway sail
ors. so the incident soon dropped out OF
notice.
Jackson went ashore to join his regi
