 their conduct was kept within bounds only by the cruel punishments which he inflicted for disobedience or gen. eral bad conduct, and which were rem dered possible by the dissensfSns and bad feelings among the men them selves; one clique or faction being al- ways ready to help punish another. Consequently, the landsman pirate would speedily have been tossed over- board and the command given to another, had 1t not been that the men were not at all united in their opin- Ions as to who that other should be.
 There was also another very good reason for Bonnet's continuance in authority; he was good divider, and, so far, had been good provider. If he should continue to take prizes, and to give each man under him his fair share of the plunder, the men were likely to stand by him until some good reason came for their changing their minds. So with fioggings and irons, on deck and below, and with faif winds filling the sails above, the Re- venge kept on her way; and, in spite of the curses and quarrels and threats which polluted the air through which S2I stout ship sailed, tbere was al. T&yn good-natured companionship wherever the captain, Dickory, and Ben Greenway found themselves to- gether. There seemed to be no end to the questions which Bonnet asked about his daughter, and when he had asked them all he began over again. and Dickory made answer, as he had done before.
 The young fellow was growing very anxious at this northern voyage, and when he asked questions they always related to the probability of his get. ting back to Jamaica with news from the father of Mistress Kate Bonnet. The captain encouraged the hopes of an early return, and vowed to Dick
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-03-30

"T did it," said Dickory, simply, "be- cause Mistress Kate's father was here, and I was hound to come to him wherever I should find him, for that was my main errand. They told me on the brig that 1t was Capt. Bonnet's ship that was overhauling us, and vowed that as soon as she boarded us I would seek him out and give him her message; and when heard that the sea was getting too heavy for you to board us, determined to come on board if I could get hold of>a line."
 Young man," cried Bonnet, rising to his full height and swelling his chest, 'I bestow upon you a fathers blessing. More than thatH-and as he spoke he pulled open a drawer of 8 small 1ocker-"here's 8 bag of gold pieces, and when you take my answer you shall have another like it."
 But Dickory did not reach out his hand for the money, nor did he say word.

not nave sinned more deeply Tn tho eyes of Dickory Charter than lie did by thus ruthlessly, inhumanly, hard heartedly, and altogether shamefully ignoring and pitilessly passing by thet island on which dwelt an angel, his own daughter.
 But Bonnet declared to the young man that it would now be dangerous for him and his ship to approach the harbor of Kingston, generally the re- Sort of British men-of-war, but in the waters of Honduras he could not fail to find some quiet merchant ship by which he could send a message to his daughter. Ay! and in which-and the pirates eye glistened with parental joy as this thought came into his mind he might, disguised as a plain gen. tleman, make 8 visit to Mistress Kate and to his good brother -tn-law, Della blaine. ..-
 So Dickory was forced to be satisfied, and even to admit that there might be some good common sense in these re- marks of that most uncOmu4OlA ->..u, Capt. Bonnet.

at this Dickory shook his head. ''No." said hs. 'she Is not on board"
 Then let her go,' cried Bonnet, "I have no time to fool with the beggarly hulk. Let her go! I have other busi- ness here. And now, sir," addressing Dickory. what of my daughter? You have got your breath now, tell me quickly! What is your message from her? When did you sail from Bridge town? Did she expect me to overhaul that brig? How in the name of all the devils could she expect that?"
 II didn't sail from Bridegtown," said Dickory, land your daughter is not there. I come from Jamaica. where she now is, and was bound to Bridegtown to seek news of you, hop ing that you had returned there"
 Which. if he had" said Ben, who found it very difficult to keep quiet, Eye would hae been under the necessity O givin' your message to his bones hangin' in chains"
 Bonnet looked sayagely at Ben, but he had no time even to curse.
 fJamaica." he cried, "how did she get there? Tell me quickly, sir-tell me quickly. Do you hear?"
 Dickory was not quite recovered and he told his story, not too quickly, and with much attention to details. Even the account of the unusual manner in which he and Kate had disembarked from the private vessel was given with out curtailment, nor with any atten- ficn to the approving grunts of Ben Greenway. When he came to speak of the letter which Mir Newcombe had sgritten her, and which had thrown her into such despair on account of it's shortcomings, Capt. Bonnet burst into a fury of execration.
 And she never got my letter." he cried, land knew not what had hap pened to me. It is that wife of mine. that cruel wildcat! I seat the letter to my house. thinking, of course. 1t would find my daughter there. For where else should she be?"

 Possibly the restaurant man had heard the American story of the game ster who had just lost $1 900 at the faro table. As he was leaving the place a servant offered him some ham from the lunch-table. "All right, but can't eat $1,000 worth of ham," said the loser.
 Groult, as was expected of him, ate himself to death quickly, and there was good profit for the Madrid restaurant in the bargain.
 Unluckily, the proprietor died, too.
 Kfnsmen of Groult sued to enjoin payment of the life insurance policy on the ground that by encouraging him to eat extravagantly the restaurant man was responsible for his death. The court, however, decided that the insur- ance must be paid to the proprietor's 8 widow

If Make Groult had not had great ap- petite the Paris courts would not have had to decide particularly knotty point of law recently.
 The New York World says that Groult was a freguenter of the Madrid restaurant, in the Bois de Boulogne.
 The proprietor gave him credit until one day he found that Groult had run up staggering bill.
 Groult, when dunned, frankly con- fessed his inability to pay.
 The dismayed restaurant man, star- ing blankly at the other man, was sud- denly struck with an idea A life de- voted to the pleasures of the table was beginning to tell on Groult.
