lookout for the Englishman."
The stranger was surely drawing
nearer, and the past twenty minutes
had brought her close enough to be
made out distinctly. She was, beyond
| doubt, manof-war, and presumably
the same that had been the brigan
tines neighbor in Fort Royal harbor.

and stood beside the old gunner. "Ah,

Lopez, who stood with his assistants

that the gun and myself will give a
proper account of ourselves"
There now came a shout from aloft,
the lookout announcing that the ap-
preaching vessel was the Englishman.

for action
Curse the wind-why won't 1t hold

near the group about the gun, and
LATTE noted the CLEAN of hatred that,
for the second, made Ehewah's face
fiendish as he glanced at the speaker,
Wind or no wind" returned Lopez,
in a growl, 1--WE are taking our own

The latter drew still closer as the
day wore on, when little after noon,
the fog bank, which had been prom
ised at sunrise, rolled in over the sea
enveloping pursuer and pursued as in
the folds of heavy blanket.
Lafitte was for keeping straight to
their course, but Laro, with sulky
persistence, claimed that their better
plan would be to anchor. He knew
that early the next morning-should

fleiul1borly,


Rev. r. H. Nelson, the new bishop
coadjutor Of Albany, wished to indi.
cate in a recent address the spirit of
friendliness and helpfulness that
should exist between neighbors. "Too
many neighbours" he said, ARE like
physician and a lawyer who used to
live next door to each other in his
toric Germantown. The physician,
one day. asked if he might borrow
from the lawyer his edition of Florio's
'Montaigne.'
"'You are welcome to read the
work in my library the lawyer an
swered, but you can't take it away
with you. l am sorry to say, for
have lost so many books through lend
ing them that I have sworn never to
let another volume leave the house,
"The physician thanked the lawyer,
but of course he did not attempt to
get through so ponderous a work as
'Montaigne' in the others library. A
week passed. and the lawyer came
and asked the physician to lend him
his lawn mower.
"1 am only too glad to lend you
my lawnmower,' said the physician
though it is my rule never to let it
leave my lawn. There, however, you
may use it all you please"

The strength of this plan is readily
appreciated. as it provides tor all
emergencies.
Deposits may be made at any time,
and will draw interest at the rate of
four per cent per annum for each full
calendar month which it remains.
This proves a strong attraction to our

CHICAGO A WONDER CRY.
Only Four cities in the World Ahead

Chicago in 1906 is the fourth city
in the world in point Of population
and wealth. says Leslies Weekly, The
only towns which lead 1t are London,
New York and Paris. Canton is some
times assigned a larger population,
but this is estimated, for there has
never been any census taken of its
population. Berlin has just crossed the
100000 mark in inhabitants, but 1t is
safe to assume that Chicago is ahead
Of the German metropolis. 1t is like
ly to keep ahead, Notwithstanding the
wonderful growth of that capital, un.

Nearly all the worlds great cities
Paris. Berlin, st. Petersburg. Wen
ma, Madrid and others-are far inland.
Even London, the nearest to deep wa
ter of all Europe's great capitals, is
over sixty miles distant from the sea.
New York Is the only city of COM
handing Importance in any civilized
country which is in sight of the ocean.
Chicago feels that it will some time
have the same prominence in the
United States that Berlin has in Ger
many or st. Petersburg in Russia. 1t
is growing faster than New York, has
several suburbs which it expects to
absorb within the next five or ten
years and figures that it will pass
New York by 1850 Ten or fifteen
years prior to that date New York
will have passed London, so that II
