much better than if our boat were
capsized in the first heavy sea-"
mo ordinary wave will beat over
the raft l have planned" said Mr..
Carmody, producing a rough sketch
OF the plans. 81 propose craft 40
feet long and IA feet wide. 1t will
be square at both ends. We will
frame the hull out of solid timber.
/ notice that there are some tall,
straight trees back of the bungalow
which will serve admirably for our
purpose. | have built many ships
and barges, and we have the tools
and materials to do a good job. The
best plan viii be to frame the hull
on shore, and then take it apart and
put it together again in the water.
OF course we could build the raft
complete and launch it from the
stone pier, but it will be safer to
build it from the water.
I'VE will build house or cabin
SKA feet. 1t will be high enough to
stand upright in. There will be three
hunks. Then there will be a com
bined kitchen, dining-room and store
room. This cabin will be braced in
every direction, and I have worked
out a plan by which no ordinary sea
can cause serious trouble. A raft
built ike this will ride the waves
safely"
Mr.. Carmody's plans also provided
for six oars or sweeps and rudder.
Through the roof of the cabin two
masts were stepped, each carrying
4 boom and a three-cornered sail
He had found a pile of canvas avn
ings which had not yet been put in
place on the windows of the bunga-
low. These promised to make excel
lent sails. For two hours the house
boat was discussed, and the plan
suggested by Mr.. Carmody was
adopted. 1t was decided to begin
work on the boat early the following
morning.
While Mr.. Carmody and others
went to select the trees for the
frame work of the houseboat, Sidney
and Mr. Kent rowed across the bay
and took an observation from the
rock overlooking the inlet. There
was no vessel in sight, though Sid
ney thought he could trace a line of
smoke at the edge of the southeast
ern horizon. They felled tall pine
tree and trimmed it for a flagstaff.
Early the following morning five
of the men raised the pole on the
rock, having first provided a flag
which they nailed to the top.
Sidney and Mr.. Kent watched the
sun as it dropped behind the west

THE sRoKEN GUITAR.

In the dust of lone corner lying,
Where letters are piled by the wall;
Where no sound save of echoes replying
Comes ever from garnet or hall;
And where light through no easement
can fall,
Not even the CLEAN of a star,
Remote and unheeded by ALL
rs rtbbonless, broken guitar
AT dusk when the sunset is dying,
The crickets, wee sentinels call,
Like sentries their challenges crying,
Shrill piping from crevices small;
And the wind from the poplar trees tall
'Creaks doors that are standing aJar,
While fading in twilight's dim pail
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar.
Where now is the bold lover signing
Who danced long ago at the ball,
With his mistress, and brooked no deny
ing
A kiss, as he folded her shawl?
His loYe-letter here-tis a scrawl-
What shadows we vain mortals are,
Since all that exists to recall
Is a ribbonless, broken guitar.
Nay, time held them both in his thrall
Through days that have faded afar;
And yet there is left after all
But a ribbonless, broken guitar.

Expensive Virtue.

The report that the American

Charles Becker, the famous forger,
if he will simply live the life of a
good citizen, brings to mind an ole
story, said a southerner who was Wis.
iting Philadelphia the other day,
which is well worth repeating. A
southern judge who had fine lot of
hogs one day met colored man no
torious for stealing, and said to him.
Uncle Jack, I'll tell You what I'll do.
You pick out two of those hogs you
like best. and I'll give them to you,
provided you won't steal any of the
others" The negro pondered while
and finally said; "Jedge, you've al

ern ridge of hills. The air was re-
markably clear, and the snow
capped mountain peak showed plain
in the purple distance.
This island is great mystery
to me-" said Hammond. He was
looking at the mountain. It's base
faded away as the sun declined, but
the top glowed like a pearl where
the light yet reflected from the daz-
cling snow.
There are few peaks like that on
the American continent" said Sid
ney. Il have been looking up the
subject of high mountains along the
American coast. We surely are more
than a thousand miles west of New
York and we are in tropical waters.
The coast of South America swings
away east of New York, so we can
not be there. | can find but two
places which coincide with the time
indicated by our watches"
What are they?" asked Mr.. Kent
"The Caribbean sea along the east
coast of Yucatan and Balize, and the
east coast of Mexico along the Gulf
of Mexico" said Sidney. There are
no such peaks as that visible from
the east coast of Yucatan, to say
nothing of from islands yet farther
east Cape Catoche, the east point
of Yucatan, is in just the same longi-
tude as Chicago. We are west of
that. The only waters west are those
of the gulf and the Bay of Cam
peachy, part OF the gulf forming
the northern boundary of Yucatan
and robasco, and the eastern shore
of the southern portion of Vera
Cruz. From these waters you can
see the gigantic peaks of the vol
canoes Popocatapetl and Orizaba."
do you think that is one of
them?" asked Mr.. Kent, looking at
the mountain, whose very top yet
showed white and pink in the last
rays of the sun.
That mountain is Popocatapetl, un-
less / am much mistaken" said Ham.
