CHAPTER K.

A night had passed, and the island
Of Martinique lay browsing in the
sleepiness of midday. In Fort Royal
bay, before the sleepy town. lay three
ships at anchor. The one nearest
shore was brigantine, beautiful in
model and French in build; she car
ried long eighteen-pounder amid
ships, and her bulwarks were pierced
for lighter guns. This was the BLACK
Petrel," and she displayed the Ameri-
can ensign, now hanging limp in the
motionless air, as were the like colors
shown by the Condor" rocking near
by in the lazy tide
Down in the luxurIously furnished
cabin of the brigantine. Laro and La
fitte, seated, and in earnest CONVEX
sation, paused occasionally TO scruti-
nize this craft.
Perhaps she means no mischief, y
muttered the former: but the very
flag she flies, and the red showing on
her decks are enough to set my teeth
on edge"
You say you heard ashore last
evening. as did l, that she stopped
only to fill her water butts, and is
bound farther south"
Laftte laid down the glass, and
laughed little bitterly; but he made
neither reply nor comment
did old De Cazeneau seem inclin-
ed to treat his granddaughter with
kindness?" Laro inquired, after a
short silence, and as if considering it
wise TO change the subject
yes. for all I could see; and he is
likely to do so while she makes no
demand upon his gold"
Laro uttered an oath and drained
his glass.
THAT man has been growing more
and more misery ever since his pretty
daughter ran away with that cursed
EngIishman, and l have often thought
it might have been money in my
pocket if I had let Stanley's blood out
of his veins the night of the COVER

RHEUMATISM CURED
The Disease Yielded Readily to Or.
WiIIiams' Pink Pills After Other
Treatment Failed

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure rheuma-
tism because they supply the necessary
elements to the Initiated blood and en-
able nature to cast out the Impurities
and effect cure. Mrs. A. Baker, of No.
l19 Fitch street, Syracuse, N. T., will
furnish living evidence OF the truth OF
this statement. "There has been rheu-
matism in my family ever since l can re-
member" she says. Ny grandmother
was a great sufferer from muscular
rheumatism and my mother also had the
disease in mild form. About a year
ago had a hard cold and rheumatism
caught me in my left knee. There were
sharp pains, confined to the neighbor-
hood of the knee and they seemed to go
right into the bone. The pain / suffered
was intense and l also had dizzy spells.
''The doctors called my trouble
uriatic and sciatic rheumatism. When
/ didn't get better under their treat
ment my brother-in-law suggested that 1

three boxes, and, by the time / had
taken them, the pain and dizziness had
entirely left me. ! wanted to make
sure of cure so / bought three more
boxes, but didn't take quite all of them
as found that was entirely cured.
Before l took the pills the pain was
so severe that had to cry at times and
when / was cured was so thankful and
grateful and / am glad to recommend
them to every one who suffers with
rheumatism"
: Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured
severe cases of an8mia, sciatica, nervous

sponded to other modes of treatment.

proposition, and from rentals to add to
the $50. 10000 left her by her father, the

The old homestead stands In one Of the
most desirable locations in the city. The
fact that IL yielded no returns and that
the taxation upon II is very heavy has not
been pleasing to Mrs. Walker. and she has
decided to have the basement and FIRST
floor converted into stores. She will occupy
the upper floors.
In strict economy OF this kind Mrs
Walker is very much like that other rich
woman, Mrs. Hetty Green, who frequently
finds It advantageous in a financial way
to live over stores she owns or In small
apartments Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Green
have something else in common-each has
an income of about 100000 a year.
The fact that Mrs. Walker will make this
use Of the homestead property has disposed

Housekeepers frequently find difficulty
in using coal dust so as to avoid waste.
An excellent way is to place a piece Of
paper about ten inches long and about six
inches wide, pile coal dust on 1t, lift care
fully, and place gently on the fire. The
corner of the paper will. of course, catch
light, but the part under the coal dust
will remain. If left undisturbed this will
gradually burn through and improve the
fire instead of causing the usual deafness
which results from burning coal dust:

Young Girl. "Comins out.r

There is a young debutante in Phlladel-
phia, Miss Clara Waterman knight, OF
whom II is said by the North American
that two balls given in her honor cost, re-
spectively, $4,000 and $4,000, total of s44
600. The first was a dinner dance, or pink
cotillion," given for Miss Knight by her
father Edward Ceilings knight, and the
second a ball at the new and fine Bellevue
stratford hotel, arranged by her rich
DO chelor uncle Edward Waterman Knight.
Most of us will wonder how so much money
could be expended in such a cause, and let
US try to gather some of the chief items OF
expense from the story of the uncle's ball.
The ballroom of the hotel was decorated as
a garden. and In this garden bloomed 10000
cut flowers. 1850 of them American Beauty
roses. American Beauty roses are 81 apiece
just now, but Mr.. knights order was so
large 1t smptied all the hothouses within
easy train distance Of Philadelphia, so some
of the roses cost $3.50 each. A great bank
Of greenery ran from the ballroom floor up
to the galleries. cutting the ballroom down
to half its usual size Here and there in
the green were broad spreads OF white
blossoms Most of these big masses Of
blossoms were mountain laurel in bloom.
Some OF the trees were found in the green
cries OF Philadelphia and neIghboring cities,
and others were brought from the south.
Other white blossoms were those OF the
white lilac. another bush not easy 20 find
In bloom at this season, without going far
TO the southwark, Hundreds and hundreds
Of palms and ferns and palmetbOs helped TO
make up the bank of green. Rare cybo-
dium ferns stood at the corners and in
middle boxes, the finest specimens to be
had in the country. Boston ferns were
brought all the way from the Pacific north
west. In the Glover room and the Red
room, where the ball supper was served
there were immense masses Of pink roses
and great bouquets OF American Beauties
II is Inquired that the decorations cost sl0.-
Go, the hotel rent for the night was 81. 600.
the cost OF the ball supper and wine for
900 persons Is put at $4,000. with 900 for
additional expenses of various sorts. This
second social function for an ls-year-old
girl. charming, OF course. was a great sue
cess. IAN society was there, but the Phil
adelphia set-the old time set as opposed 10
the Newport smart set-was most IN evil
dence." Finally, and as interesting asany-
thing. we are told that the father made
his money in sugar and multiplied Il in
stocks. and the uncle is In steel manufac-
lures. In mines and western ranches. They
