down and interest yourself while I
go on deck and attend to matters.
But, Edward"
BE calm, Edith. You have never
seen me yet in my celebrated Corsair
act, and you know not what 1 can do
will come to you when all is over.
Meanwhile don't get giddy."
Two minutes later our hero was on
deck experimenting the affairs of the
bark. He called for four kegs of
beer and five yards of fuse, and they
were quickly placed before him. Then
he ordered the bark hove to and the
crew to get out of sight, and as the
corsair came sailing down she saw but
one living man on the decks of her
victim. He paced back and forth, his
hands under his coat-tails and his eyes
on the lonely sea, and 1t was not until
the corsair had laid herself alongside
and seventy OF her ruffianly crew had
boarded the bark that he moved. He
scratched a match and lighted the
fuse. and five seconds later Well
not to be too explicit and grewsome,
he blew the froth off the lager beer
in a way that blew up the seventy
men, and the few remaining pirates
sailed away to go out of the corsair
business and into that of playing brass
horns on street corners.
When she found that she had been
saved from an awful fate, Edith would
have tainted away, but Edward stood
ready to pour a cup of cold water
down the back of her neck, and she
concluded not to.

MIDSUMMER THRILLS.

a PRECIPICE THRILL.

AS our hero broke his way through
the crowd of Indians congregated to
see him soak ked in Xxx lard and then
fired at the stake. he eXerted every
nerve to reach the forest mile away.
Having had ten years experience as
runner for a hotel, he gradually in
creased his distances, and at length
had the shelter of the forest to con-
ceal him. Just when everything prom
fsed a large summer crop of escapes
he suddenly came upon prec1p1ce
200 feet high. The Indians knew of
1T. and knew that he had no wings to
fly with. and they closed in slowly
and uttered war whooDs that peeled
the bark off the hickory trees for
mile around. No life insurance COM
pany would have risked fifteen cents
on the chances of James Q. Kirk liv-
ing twenty minutes longer.

thought what roast he would make.

thirty seconds he had attracted the
attention of every warrior. In thirty
more he was taking down names and
addresses, and James .. was free to
fold his arms and walk down stream
until he found a path leading to the
river and to safety. When the In
dians remembered that it was their
solemn duty to resoak and roast him
it was too late. He had reached
Coney Island and called for a glass of
beer and a sandwich.
