to this was the red-headed boy who, had a

he took turn at the lookouts.

A tall marine-none other than the sentry
who was known to have been spinning yarns
on certain eventful night-came forward
with military salute.
William Webb, carpenters mattel"
Old Chips came rolling out from among his
shipmates, and swung his cap off with sail
or,s scrape.
The sight of his very bald head raised a
ripple of laughter, which sharp order from
the officer of the deck quickly suppressed.
"You three are wanted in the cabin"
said the first lieutenant, curtly leading the
way.
They all solemnly filed in after him.
At least two boys among the spectators to

them with terrific dig in the ribs when Chips

At each nudge Ned's face was growing long

to one Of settled gloom

pered John, with an ecstatic chuckle.
But how long will it be before they bag
the right ones?" replied Ned, in deep melan-
tinued, as that dignitary came out of the
cabin, followed by those whom he had just
finished interviewing. Now, look out for
squalls"
The captain was grave-lookng man, whose
great virtue was that he never lost his tenn
per. For clustering, bullying and staggering
he substituted mild vein of sarcasm, that
proved quiet as efficient in dealing with re-
fractory sailors
Casting his eyes over the crew until they
rested upon the unsuspecting Jack, he kept
them there for fully a minute, and a pc
culiar curl of the upper lip marked his dis
pleasure.
Jack at first attempted to put on a bold
front, but gradually lost his self-possession,
began to grow nervous, changed color, felt
that his hands were much too large for the
rest of his body, speculated upon the poss

CHIPS AND THE CATAMA RA ~

The sepulchral sound of that word "mur-
derers" had scarce left his friends lips when
he sprang into the water, went down like a
shot, rose again like cork, shook the wa
ter from his small head, and struck out bold
ly for the spot where his old enemy had gone
down.
He was an expert swimmer, but the prob
lem OF how small boy could rescue full
grown man escaped practical test. Some
one threw Chips rope when he made his
second visit to his native element-the air
and he was safely hauled aboard.
Jack disported himself in the water for
time, darting around like dolphin, turn
ing now on his back and then on his side, to
the great delight of the boys who stood watch
ing him from the ship.
He then boarded the disabled catamaran,
and a look of sadness stole into his eyes, as,
perched upon the halffed floats, he hooked
the whip, and looked doefully out to sea-
ward, while he and his tormentor were hoisted
In on deck.
There was no greater her. aboard ship
Tor the next few days than our friend Jack
Harrls, and it was thought that his bravery
would not go unrewarded. About a week
thereafter, when all hands were called aft to
muster on the quarterback, everybody guessed
that this was to be the occasion upon which
medal for bravery would be publicly pre-
sented
All the boys looked at John with envy in
their eyes when he came aft in tow of the
faithful Ned.
Nothing in his manner betrayed that he
was conscious of the honor in store for him,
although Ned could not refrain from a Sc
ries Of approving mods and knowing winks.
The crew, in their best blue clothes, were
drawn up on the port side of the quarterback,
eagerly awaiting developments.
The minutes passed by, but the captain
did not appear. The first lieutenant was bust
ling in and out of the cabin, and holding hur-
ried consultations with the other officers.
The blue-jackets began to whisper among
themselves; the boys varied the monotony with
sky-larking. The officer of the deck had sung

males pair off, and select site for their
future operations Several things must be
taken INTO consideration-the bottom, tempera-
ture, ana the general security Of the position
from attack, all important items to the com
ing family of young.
Inc spot selected is generally on a muddy
bottom in about three feet of water, near
hoie or place of greater depth. Tufts of a
pecunar grass that grows upon the surface,
its roots, rising and falling, forming avenues
OF retreat, are now chosen as building ma
terial and woven about some floating or partly
submerged branch
Piece by piece the nest grows. until, in a
seven or eight days, we see it nearly spher-
zeal, a network of weeds pastered with mud,
so That 1T is something like the nest of
robin.
lhey vary in size, but generally the entire
nest is not more than twelve inches across,
and oftener only five or six inches Through
the interior passage is left, formed by the
fishes frequently pushing their way through
during the building, and here in this swing
ing cradle from nine hundred to fifteen hun
dred eggs are deposited, the parents remain
ing near at hand and watching them with
jealous care.
In about two weeks the young appear, and
for several days they feed upon the decayed
vegetable matter about the nest, then ven.
| ture forth in shoals under the watchful care
Of the parent.
Gradually they attain size and swimming
power, and soon stray away and separate,
leaving the carefully-made nest and home,
| that shortly becomes ruin inhabited only
by the bats and owls of the sea-
Equally remarkable for the curious home or
nest it forms is the paradise fish Long
streamers decorate the older ones, and, as
their name implies, they are the most beau
tiful of their kind-clothed with gorgeous
garb of ever-changing hues.
| When the time comes to build a nest the
parents 60 to the surface, take a mouthful
of air and return with it to the bottom, or
sometimes leave it at the surface. This is
done repeatedly and in time produces great

resembling that Of the froth-insect that GOV.

is increased until it attans quite large size
and some consistency; then the eggs are de-
posted in it, and SO held together After a

wings-and all this time those cold gray eyes
were fastened upon him, as if to fathom his
lnnermost thoughts
The captain broke the spell by beckoning
movement of his hand, and John stepped
forward, looking crestfaen enough, but
making brave effort to appear uncon-
cerned.
The eyes of the skipper again ranged over
the line, and this time stopped at Ned, who
did not wait for any proongation of the agony,
but stepped forth, self-confessed, with ali the
proud humility of martyr.

About an hour thereafter. Ned and Jack
were discussing their adventures behind the
bars OF the "brig'-a small cell partitioned off
from the berthdeck for the confinement Of
prisoners.
"Well, we've learned one thing from this
row." said the former, sadly.
