Already the exhaust of the govern
ment launch could be heard as it slowed
up to weigh anchor at a safe distance
from the sandbar.
1t would only require the lowering
of a boat and few strokes of the oars
to land the officers upon the fishermen.
Fortune had always favored old Sea-
dog and it favored him again. With q
heavy luIch they brought the chest
from under the timbers that held it
down.
Fortune doubly favored him. When
the iron receptacle had been turned
round it was found that the keys still
remained in the lock. The captain
had possibly attempted to open it at
the last moment and had been driven
out by the waves.
Rush outside, boys; rush outside;

stern old parent. The boys were
barely in time. They were confronted

''In the name of the government,
men, we proclaim you our prisoners"
calmly spoke one of the officers.
Tho boys looked bewildered but
spoke not in the absence of their faith
er, to whom they had always looked
for advice and guidance.
But the old man was busily engaged.
With surprising quickness he had
opened the chest and tore from it the
register roll. Then he closed the
chest, locked it and cast the keys into
the water at the lower end OF the hole.
Then he climbed out through port
hole at the rear, hurriedly secreted
the roll in the sand at a safe distance
from the vessel, climbed back through !
and joined his boys who were prison
ers on deck. But before he had hidden /
the parchment upon which the ships
register was made he had turned
through it quickly. His eyes had
rested upon two names. This brought
from him the ejaculation

The Word Picnic.

The derivation Of the word picnic is
uncertain. In London Notes and que
ries Of 1853 attempts were made to
trace its origin.
One correspondent says:
Under French form the word ap-
pears In speech Of Robesp.erre, 'C'est
lei kqu'n doit m'accuser, ct non dams
les piquesniques.' An earlier instance
occurs in one OF Lord Chesterfield s
letters, dated October, 174S.'
Another writer Of the same date
tries to trace the word from France
into Italy. Starting with the assump-
ton that piquenique in French implies
a party at which each guest provides
some particular dish or performs some
special duty, he finds the Italian ex-
pressions niccbia duty and piccola n
trifing service), and from these he
coins piccola nIcchia (plcnicJ.
A French encyclopedia. 1913. has II
that the word is compounded Of the
simple English pick Ito choose) and
nick Gin the nick Of time, on the spur
Of the moment. In France the term
is also used for indoor picnlcs.
