he had never seen before. After Il

DRYING the Umbrella.

During the frequent use of UNI
brellas In the spring showers we
should keep in mind the oft-repeated
caution concerning drying them. They
will last much longer if they are al
ways placed, when wet, with the han
Gle downward to dry. The moisture
then falls from the edge of the frame
and the fabric dries uniformly. When
it stands handle upward, which IS
commonly the case, the top of the UNI
brella holds the moisture and not
only takes long time to dry, but it
soon Injuries the silk or other fabrics
used for the cover and rusts the steels.
This is the cause of this part of the
umbrella wearing out before any 9th

sponsible for the rapid wear Of the

CHAPTER XIII.


On the following morning Mari La
room was awakened By feeling some one
shaking him by the shoulder. He opened
his dull, leaden ayes, and saw Otehewa
standing over him.
Come, my MASTER she cried, you
have slept long enough
The pirate saw the bright sunlight
shining in through the windows, and he
slowly arose to his feet. 1t was some
time before he comprehended what had
passed, but az length the scenes on the
night before came to his mind, and he
started and gazed wildly into her face.
"Otehewa. l have a wife?'
Eyes, sir" returned the girl. looking
calmly into his face Don't you re-
member?-you were married to Mary
last night"
"Accursed fool that I was" muttered
the pirate, in anger with himself alone
81 resolved that I would not drink much
last night. Did l drink much y
Row Otehewa knew just where to take
the man, for she had seen him helped to
bed so many times after his carousals,
and had also heard him talk the next
morning, that she knew ne never re-
membered anything that had transpired
previous evening.
You drank a good deal Of wine, sir,
she answered; "and you know twas the
strongest kind
In half an hour after this breakfast
was served, and Mari sent for his wife
TO come down. Mary refused at first, but
Otshewa told her she must. And" she
added, you must not show one angry
look, nor speak one bad word. Keep
the pirate on good terms with you, and
If help comes not to-day, l will fix your
oppressor the same as he was last night.
At length Mary went down. and at the
door of the eating room she found her
Husband" waiting for her. Her first
impulse was to shrink away, but she re-
membered her promise to Otehewa, and
she gave the pirate her hand. At that
moment she felt a strange degree of
strength come to her soul. Perhaps her
hope oyercame her fear. She saw Ote-
hewa standing by her, and when she saw
how calm that noble girl looked IL gave
calmnesg to herself. She allowed Laroon
to lead her to a seat, and then sit down
by his side, and she did not even shud-
der.
The meal was fnished-the buccaneer
and his bride had eaten alone, waile
OteLewa waited upon them: and Laroon
was upon the point of rising, when the
door was opened and Paul entered the
apartment. But he was not alone, for

STORM FORT TRENCHES.

>
Line of Works at Port Arthur.
The general assault on Port Arthur
which began Oct. "a developed into a
fierce battle Sunday. According to a
hitherto infallible authority the Japan
ese flung heavy forces against the fortress
in their third attempt to obtain a com
manding position.
The japanese have been preparing for
this assault for a month. 1t is believed
that they did not expect to capture the
town on this occasion, but to accomplish
another important forward step. The
plan was adopted following the first as
sault, when thousands of lives were sac
rifced in an attempt to swarm over the
Notifications by mere force of numbers
This assault, like the previous one, fol-
lowed weary weeks of trench digging
gun mounting and small engagements
In the opinion Of experts the assault
will cease when the japanese have won
positions that viii enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses Of the
Russian guns. 1t is believed that two
more general assaults win be necessary
before the distance between the bellig-
erent lines is shortened sufficiently for
an attempt 10 enter the main forts and
make the end of the siege practicable.
