That's why Sir Lemuel tarried for q
day on the Newcastle Maid Nobody
would go near him but the chief engi-
neer. who handed him meat and drink
through portfolio, and laughed sooth-
ingly at his fancy tales.
After chota hazri next morning the
secretary brought Captain Larry a
large basket of official papers for his
perusal and signature. That was Sir
Lemueps time for work His motto
was business first, and afterward more
business. Each paper was carefully
contained In a cardboard holder Sc
cured by red tape.
1.-THE log, eh, mater said Larry when
the secretary brought them into his
room. "It looks ship-shape. too"
"This file, sir, Is the case Of Deputy
Commissioner Grant, first grade, Of
Bungaloo. He has memorialized the
grade, has been appointed over his
head to the commissionership Of
Bhang. He's senior to Coatsworth, you
know, sir, in the service"
well, why has Coatsworth been
made first mate then?"
Grants afraid It's because he Of
Tended you, sir, when you went to
Bungaloo. He received you in jah-
ran. coat, you remember, and you were
awfully angry about it,
"Oh, 1 was, was 1? Just shows what
an ass Sir Lemuel can be sometimes.
Make Grant a commissioner at once
and I'll sign the papers"
but there's no commissionership
open. sir, unless you set back Coats
worth"
well, I'll set him back. I'll dis
charge him from the service. What
else have you got there? What's that
bundle on the deck?'
They're native petitions, sir"
Larry took up one. 1t began with an
oriental profusion OF gracious titles be-
slowed upon the commissioner, and
went into business by stating that the
writer, Baboo Sens wife, mad got two
children by ''the grace or God and the
kind favor of Sir Lemuel the father
Of all Burmans." And the long petit
tion was all to the end that Baboo Sen
might have a months leave of alb
sence.
Larry chuckled, for he did not under
stand the complex nature of a BaboO's
English. The next petition gave him
much food for thought; it made his
head ache. The English was like 10
garithms. Here" he said to the sec
retary, you fix these petitions up later.
I'm not used to them

his late loss, as we all know how deeply
he feels it,
Cad! but he's rubbing It in," said
Lushton.
II repeat, we are glad to have him
among US once again. My secretary
assures me that there's not a single
dacoit left alive In the province.
There's nothing like putting these re-
bellious chaps down. 1 had a mutiny
myself once. on board the Kangaroo.
/ shot the ringleaders and made every
mothers son of the rest OF them walk
the plank. So I'm proud Of the good
work the judicial has done In this re-
spect."
Now, 1t had been a source OF irritat-
ing regret to every deputy commits
sioner In the service that when he had
caught a dacoit. redhanded, convicted
and sentenced him to be hanged, and
sent the ruling up to the judicial for
confirmation, he had been promptly
sat on officially, and the prisoner either
pardoned or let off with light SEN
tence. Consequently these little pleas
antries of the captain were looked upon
as satire.
The secretary sighed as he showed In
his pocket the written speech, which
the captain had allowed to slip to the
floor. It'll do for another time, I sup
pose," he said YEARLY; when he gets
over this Internal touch Of sun or Bur-
nah head"
The other speeches did not appeal to
Captain Larry much, nor, for the mat
ter of that, to the others either. He
had certainly made the hit of the even

to the secretary. as they drove home.
What. sir?"
"Why, making speeches and driving

ing aboard ship in a jiggledy sampan
at night. I'll have string Of wharves
put all along the front there, so that
ships won't have to load at their moor
ings. Just put me In mind of that to-
morrow"
Next day there was considerable di-
version on the Newcastle Maid. THE
old mans got the D. T.'s," the chief
engineer told the first officer. II locked
him in his cabin last night when they
brought him off, and he's banging
things around there in great shape.
Swears he's the ruler of Burmah and
Sir Gimmel Somebody. / won't let him
out till he gets all right again, for he'd
go up to the agents with this cock-and-
bull story. They'd cable home to the
owners, and he'd be taken out Of the
ship sure"
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-17

Lemuel, they're waiting for you to sit
down to dinner. There's Mr.. Barnes,
the Judicial Commissioner, talking to
Colonel Short, sir" added the secretary,
pointing to a tall, clerical looking gen.
tleman. He's looking very much cut
UP over the loss Of his wife"
''Wife dead; must remember that"
thought Larry.
Just then the Judicial Commissioner
caught sight of the captain and has
tened forward to greet him. How do
you do, Sir Lemuel? / called this after
noon. So sorry to find that Lady Jones
was away. You must find 1t very lone
ly, Sir Lemuel. I understand this is
the first time you have been separated
during the many years of your mar
ried life"
Eyes, shall miss the little woman.
That great barracks is not the same
without her sweet little face about"
That's a pretty tall order" ejacu-
lated a young officer to a friend. And
it was. considering that Lady Jones
was an Amazonian type OF woman. five
feet ten, much given to running the
whole state. and known as the Iron
clad" But Larry didn't know that, and
had to say something.
Dear Lady JONES' sighed che Judi
cial Commissioner, patheticaiff 81
suppose she returns almost iW.nedi-
ately."
1.-THE Lord forbid-at least not for a
few days. I want her to enjoy herself
while she's away. You viii feel the loss
of your wife, Mr.. Barnes, even more
than 1; for, of course. she will never
come back to you"
To say that general CONSERVATION
followed this venture of the captain g
is drawing it very mild indeed. for the
J. C.'s wife was not dead at all, but
had wandered far away with lieuten-
ant in a Madras regiment.
TITS the Ironclad put him up to that.
She was always down on the ]. C. for
marrying a girl half his age" said an
assistant deputy commissioner to a
man standing beside him.
The secretary was tugging energeti-
cally at the captains coattails. What
is it, Johnson" he asked, suddenly
realizing the tug.
Dinner is on, SIR"
Owing to the indisposition Of the
Chief Commissioner, by special arrange
ment the secretary sat at his left
which was rather fortunate: for, by
the time dinner was over, the captain
had looked upon the wine and seen
that it was good-had looked several
times.
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-17

"Shall we have the honor Of your
presence at the races tomorrow"
pleasantly asked a small Witty man
four seats down the table.
The captain was caught unawares,
and blurted out, Where are they?"
"On the racecourse, SIR"
The answer was a simple. straight
forward one, but nevertheless 1t made
everybody laugh.
II thought they were on the moon,"
said the captain in nettled tone.
A man doesn't laugh at Chief Com
missioner's joke. as a rule. because it's
funny, but the mirth that followed this
was genuine enough.
"Sir Lemuel is coming out" said
Captain Lushton. PITY the Ironclad
wouldn't go away every week."
In the natural order of things Sir
Lemuel had to respond to the toast Of
THE Queen" Now, the secretary had
very carefully and elaborately prepared
the Chief Commissioners speech for
this occasion: Sir Lemuel had con-
scientiously "mugged" 1t up, and If he
had not at that moment been prisoner
on board the Newcastle Maid would
have delivered It with a pompous SIN
cerity which would have added to his
laureis as a deep thinker and brilliant
speaker. But the captain of a tramp
steamer, with a mixed cargo Of sherry,
hook and dry monopole In his stomach,
is not exactly the proper person to de-
liver statistical, semi-official after
dinner speech
When the captain arose to his feet
the secretary whispered in his ear,
For heavens sake don't say anything
about the judicials wife. Talk about
dacoits"; but the speech. so beautifully
written, so lucid in it's meaning and SO
complicated in it's detail, became a
waving sea of foam. From out the
billowy waste of this indefinite mass
there loomed only the tall figure Of the
cadaverous J. c.; and attached to It.
as a tangible something, the fact that
he had lost his wife and settled the
dacoits.
1t was glorious. this getting UP before
two strings Of more or less bald-headed
officials to tell them how the state
ought to be run-the ship steered, as it
were. Gentlemen" he began, starting
off bravely enough, I'VE are pleased to
have among us once more our fellow
skipper, the Judicial Commissioner"

humor on tonight" whispered Lush
ton.

Sir Lemuel's wine had been a stand
ing reproach to Government House.
A dinner there either turned a man
into a teetotaler or a dyspeptic; and at
tiffin, when the captain broached a
bottle of it. he set his glass down with
a roar. Hes brought me the vinegar"
he exclaimed, cor the coal oil Is there
no better wine in the house than this?'
he asked the butler. and when told there
wasn't he insisted upon the secretary
writing out an order at once for fifty
dozen Pcmmery. Have IL back In time
for dinner, surei I'll leave some for
Lem. too; this stuff isn't good for his
blood" he said to himself grimly.

I'm king" he thought, as he drove
down after tiffin. taking his secretary
with him. They say the Prince OF
Wales always gets the straight tip, and
III be sure to be put on to something

And he was. Captain Lushton told
him that his mare Nettie was sure to
win the Rangoon Plate. forgetting to
mention that he himself had backed

Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance on mems backs are
the loads OF ore brought up from the
mines OF the Andes by the miners of
Chill. Darwin visited copper mine
in ravine leading from the main
range OF the CordilleraE. where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that, though the mines had
been worked In the mountains for at
least two centuries, the water was re.
moved in some by carrying IT up Snafts
IN leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting q
similar mine, found that all the ere
was carried up 70 the surface, q ver-
teal climb OF $50 feet, by the miners.
and that the average weight carried
was 250 pounds. This load was not
carried up q winding stair, but up
notched trunks Of trees, set almost np-
right one touching another.
The food OF the Gillian miner, ac-
cording to Darwin. consisted OF ra-
tons OF sixteen figs and two small
loaves OF bread for breakfast: for din
ner boiled beans. for supper wheat
crushed and roasted. They scarcely
ever tasted meat
