| ty Of brawny pirates following him. Come now" said Bonnet walking boldly aft towards Big Sam, who was still cursing and swearing right and left. Bonnet stepped up to him and touched him on the arm. Look ye,'' said he, you're no longer sailing-mas- ter on this ship; don't like your ways or your fashions. Step forward, then, and go to the fo'castle where you be- long; this good mariner" pointing to Black Paul, twill take your place and sail the Revenge"
 Big Sam turned and stood astounded, staring at Bonnet. He spoke no word, but his face grew dark and his great eyebrows were drawn together His mouth was half open, as if he were about to yell or swear. Then suddenly his right hand fell upon the hilt of his cutlass, and the great blade flashed In the air. He gave, one bound towaros Bonnet, and in the same second the sutlass came down like a stroke of lightning. But Bonnet had been sol- dier and had learned how to use his sword; the cutlass was caught on his
  moment Black Paul sprung at Big Sam and seized him by the sword arm, while another fellow, taking his cue, grabbed him by the shoulder.
 Now some of you fellows" shouted Bonnet, 'seize him by the legs and heave him overboard!"
 This order was obeyed almost as soon as it was given; four burly pirates rushed Big Sam to the bulwarks, and with great heave sent him headtore- most over the rail. In the next instant he had disappeared-gone, passed out of human sight or knowledge.
 "Now, then, Mr. Paul-Anot knowing your other name"
 Which it is Bittern,'' said the other
 You are now sailing master of this ship; and when things are strengthened out bit you can come below and sign articles with me-
 "Ay, ay, sir,'' said Black Paul, and calling to the men he gave orders that they go on with the setting of the main-topsail.
 Now, truly,' said Ben, "I believe that ye're pirate.'
 Bonnet looked at him much pleased. "I told you so, my good Ben. I knew that the time would come when you, would acknowledge that am true pirate; after this, you cannot doubt it any more"
 Never again, Master Bonnet" said Ben Greenway, gravely shaking his head, never again!'

Things were getting very serious now and he could waste no time on person al quarrels. Great holes and splits had been discovered in the heads of the barrels of spirits, and the precious H. quor was running over the decks. This was the work of the sagacious Big Sam, who had the strongest desire to get away from the Amanda before the pirate crew became so drunk that they could not manage the vessel. He was a deep man, that Big Sam, and at this moment, although he said nothing about it. he considered himself the captain of the pirate ship which he sailed.
 "I told ye," said Ben, "ye had better stayed on board that merchantmen an gone back like a Christian to your ain hame an family. It will be no safe place for ye, or for mo neither, when that black-hearted scoundrel O a Big Sam gets time to attend to ye.' |,
 Black -hearted?" inquired Bonnet, but without any surprise in his voice.
 ''Ay," said Ben, If there's onything blacker than his heart, only Satan him sep ever looked at 1t. It was to be sailin' this ship on his own account that he's had in his villainous soul ever since he caWe on board; an can tell ye, Master Bonnet, that 1t won't be long now before he's doin' it. I had me eye on him when he was on board the Amanda, an saw that the scoun- drel was goin' to separate the ships"
 That was my will" said Bonnet, although I did not order it.'
 Ben gave a little grunt. "Ay," said he. ''hopin' to leave me behind just as he was hopin' to leave ye behind. But neither O ye got your wills, an it'll be the de'il thatll have a hand in the next leavin' behind that's likely to be done"
 Bonnet made no reply to these re- marks, having suddenly spied Black Paul
 Look here,S' said he, stepping up to that somber-hued parsonage, "can you sail ship?"
 The other looked at Bonnet Tn aston ishment. Il should say so, said he.

this, when we divide the prizes, you take the same share that I do AS to these goods from the Amanda, l will have no part at all; give them all to you and the rest, divided according to rule.
 Go you now among the men, and speak first to swch as nave taken the least liquor; let them know that 1t was Big Sam that broke in lne hogsheads, which, but for that, would have been sold and divided Go quickly and get about you half-dozen good fellows
 "Ye're gettin'> wickeder and wicked er," said Ben when Black Paul had hur- ried away; 'the de'il himsep couldna hae taught ye a craftier trick than that. Weel ye kenned that that black fellow would fain serve under a free handed fool than g. stingy knave. Ay, sir, your educatiorss progressin'!"
 Bonnet, and Ben stood waiting with much inapatience and anxiety, but presently came Black Paul with par

When these letters were finished Bonnet hurried to the side of the ves- sel and looked upon the deck of the Amanda.
 Capt. Marchand and Greenway had been waiting in anxious expectation for the return of Bonnet, and wonder ing how in the world a man could bring his mind to write letters at such time as this.
 Take these letters, Ben," he said, leaning over the rail, land give them to Capt. Marchand'
 Ben Grenway at first declined to take the letters which Bonnet held out to him, but the latter now threw them at his feet on the deck, and, running for ward, he soon found himself in a yio- lent and disorderly crowd, who did not seem to regard him at all booty and drink were all they cared for. Pres ently came Big Sam, giving orders and thrusting the men before him. He had not been drinking, and was in full possession of his crafty senses.
 Throw off the grapnels." exclaimed ea Big Sam. "and get up the foresel!' %AUU tucn uC pSLCcLNSu DOuuct WllH "a scowl upon his face Big Sam nut sered: T thought you were on the merchantman, but no matter. Shove sher off. say, or I'll break your heads"
 The grapnels were loosened; the few men who were on duty showed desper- ately; the foresail went uR. and the two vessels began to sepafats But they were not foot apart whom, with great rush and scramble. Ben Green. way left the merchantman and tumbled himself on board the Revenge,
 Bonnet rushed up to him. You Bcoundrel! You rascal. Ben Greenway, what do you mean? intended you to go back to Bridgetown on that brig. Can never get rid of you?"
 No till ye give up ptratin'." said Ben with grin. 'Ye may split open ihly head, an throw overheard my aorpse. but my live body stays here as Tong as ye do"
 With savage growl Bonnet turned Away from bis faithful adherent.

NOT NECESSARY FOR
COUNCIL TO CONFIRM.

1t is not now known what turn the
police affairs will take. AS told in yes
terday's News, the counsel for the city
put in no defense against the demands of
the three new patrolmen for their pay up
to August Is, and judgments were accord
ingly rendered in their favor.
When asked what the next steps will
probably be, ]. f. Stricken, counsel for
the men, said that, if their pay is held
up at the next meeting of the Board of
Aldermen, either another suit on the
same grounds as the one decided yester-
day will be brought, or else he may go
to the Supreme Court for a mandamus to
compel payment. He also called atten-
tion to the fact that the city charter pro-
vides that the Mayor shall nominate ]"
policemen. This is declared to be
synonymous with appoint" and, it is
declared, it is not set forth that the
Board of Aldermen mnst approve the
appointments. At any rate. up to the
present year the nominations of the
Mayor have been approved by the council
without question.

ment on State street, from Smith

being gotten up. 1t is declared that
it already bears tie signatures OF a
number of property-owners who

Mr.. HOLLANDER TELLS
STORY OF THE AFFAIR.

Editor Evening News:
/ desire to set at rest, once and for
all, the various annoying rumors and
reports all of which are without
foundation-with reference to recent
relations existing between the local
unions and myself, that have been
circulated during the past week or
ten days.
In the first place, l have said abb
solutely nothing for publication, this
being my first statement and communi-
cation in the matter, and anything that
may have appeared in print has not
been authorized by me.
If union men do not wish to work
for me, / am not foolish enough to
believe 1 can compel them to sell
their labor.
AS to the report that have en-
gagged counsel, for account of Mr..
Carl Dressler and myself, to bring suit
against the union or union men, etc,
etc. There is nothing to it whatever.
I have not even thought of such q
move, no less in connection with Mr.
Dresslcr, with whom my relations
are at an end; the partnership OF
Dressler & HoIlander having been dis.
solved by me some months ago TO ]
reasons best known to Mr. Dresslel
himself, a notice of which dissolu
lion ] caused TO be published about 6
month or six weeks since.
The whole thing has been more ol
less annoy ing to me and injurious tC
my business, but have hesitated unit
now to say anything in the matter.
| simply want to set the public right
that it may know the truth, and thai
all am doing is minding my OWE
business.
