10 try any tricks with grapplingirons,

And remember that 1t is no quarter"
A sound, half roar, half snarl, came
from the men; and the next moment
there was a whistling amongst them
AS a cannon-ball struck the bulwark
in front Of Laro, filling the air with
pits of wood, and then glancing into
the water.
A large, sharply pointed piece of
ragged wood struck him in the side,
and with a cursing cry he sank, face
downward, upon the deck, the blood
from his wounds scattering those near
est Kim, several of whom had been
nit by the flying splinters.
LATTE sprang forward, and placing
mis- arms around w quiwering form,
turned the distorted face to the air.
Then, looking up at the gunner, who
was staring wildly at the sight he
cried, Fire, Lopez, as you newer fired
5efore!"
A prompt discharge followed the
order. and wild shout OF JOY went

The enemy's foremost was again

HOW LONG ONE sHouLD LIVE.
Insurance Experto Think Seventy
Years About Right.

Actuaries employed by insurance
companies adopt standard method Of
computing prospective ages of risks.
To ascertain how many years person
OF given age is ordinarily expected to
live. the present age is deducted from
80, and two-thirds of the remainder
will indicate the likely future span Of
life. Actuarial schedules are a unit
in this system of calculation. In illus
tration of the above statement: Age
20 deducted from 80 years shows that
40 years is the allotment, while age
60 from 80. leaving balance of 20, rep
resents that Is years and months
should, in favorable routine. elapse be-
fore the insured individuals life is
classified in the past-tense column.
Thus 1t will be observed that insur-
ance corporations go the biblical al
lowance of "three-score and ten" ten

Cause of Thanks,

1t 'was'a Coffee county boy who mar
ried and went TO Texas, and upon ar
irving there wrote promptly back to
his friends that he 'got there safe and
we'll"
And that was the very last time
that he ever did write to them. They
waited and they waited, and they
wondered and they wondered and
they wondered, and never word fur
Their from che wanderers. Some anxi-
ETY. was felt, or would have been felt,
but for one old woman of distant kin,
who whenever his name was men,
toned would always say:
"We1l, ne got thar safe, and they're
all well, thank God"
Finally his name was dropped, him.
self forgotten, till one day, ten years
after his departure, something brought
up his name, and the old query came
up, "Why doesn't he writer"
And the same old woman piped the
same old song.

they're all well, thank God."~-Nash-
vile Banner.

one of the hands that were already
growing cold.
Jean, you will take care of La
zalieg" And Laro's black eyes, their
mockery forever slain, looked at him
with appealing wistfulness
LATTE nodded, and pressed the
hand he held.
'She will have plenty OF wealth, as
you know; see that it is delivered to
her safely, and kept securely after
ward. Take the girl away, Jean; take
her to the nuns, in New Orleans, as
should have done before this; and
do you and she have the church say
masses for my soul. My soul" he re-
peated, in n quick gasp. ITO where
will my soul go?"
AS Lafitte's lips parted to speak, the
dying man, as if divining what he
might be abont to say, cried with
sudden burst of strength, mo, no,
boy; try to tell me no soothing lies!
Living, I never knew fear; and dying
scorn it. Ah-Madre de dos!
Christ have mercy!"
And with this last cry, Laro's voice
was stilled forever.
Lafitte's heart repeated the prayer,
as he folded the dead mans hands
across the broad chest; and scarcely
had he done this when he was startled
by the noise of commotion above
him.
Stopping only to draw blanket
over. the face and form of the dead, he
went on deck, where a number OF eX-
cited men were gathered on the side
toward the enemy. His glance had al
ready followed the direction Of their
eyes, and he saw one of the BLACK
Petrels" smallest boats being rowed
by the Indian. Ehewah, toward the
English vessel; and clfnging to 1t,
while his hoarse voice poured forth a
volley of menacing words, was Lopez.
Lopez had loosed one of his hands
from the boats gunwale, and drawing
his knife, hurled it at the Indian; but
Ehewah lodged, and it fell into the
sea. He then rowed on, and Lopez,
no longer shouting, attempted to draw
himself over the stern of the boat
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1905-01-14

At this, the Indian had stopped row.
ing, and struck the gunner over the
head with an oar, continuing the blows
until Lopez released his hold and sank
from sight.
A boat which had been lowered
from the English ship was now seen
pulling rapidly to where Ehewah, still
pausing, appeared waiting for the gun
ner's body to rise
This it soon did; and the Indian,
showing an agile strength one would
not have accredited to his slight
frame, drew it into the boat.
The crew of the brigantine saw The-
wah parley with the men from the
enemy's vessel, after which he Towed
in their company to the man-of-war;
and LATTE, watching through his
glass, saw the form of Lopez carried
aboard in their midst
LATTE, bidding Garonne accompany
MIN, went below, to Laro's cabin. Ca
rome lit the brass lamp swinging over
the small table, and turned to Lafitte,
who stood looking about him. as If for
some sign of Ehewah's treacherous in
tention, when the CLEAN of a gold
band, hanging over Laro's bunk,
caught their eyes.
Il was "a bracelet which the Indian
had always worn upon his naked arm
since the day Laro placed it there,
in burst of gratitude to Ehewah for
having saved his life.
Both LATTE and Garonne knew
enough Of the Indians tribe-lore to
understand that this was Ehewah's
mute announcement of ended friend
ship and loyalty.
"He doubtless stole in here to per-
form what to him was a religious rite,
and having hung Laro's gift where we
found it, went his way, Intending to
attempt that which he has now ac-
comphshed," unused LATTE aloud
Then. as IL struck by an after
thought. he went TO 1aro's bunk. and

closed heavy wooden locker.

he did not in the least object to peo-

few minutes later he and his hearers
were disturbed by the loud snoring of

him a tap on the head" said the min
lister. This was done, Intellectually
Give him another" came the order
again. Still the man slumbered. But
at length by dint Of much tapping and
shaking, he was recalled into abashed
consciousness. "You are making a
wretched noise" roared the minister
leaning over the pulpit edge. 81 don't
mind your sleeping, but you are pre-
venting other people from sleeping!'
