 'I never knowed before that ships had soil aboard" said Miss Hinckley
 What do you suppose every ship has yard for?" inquired Elph' Hewitt Well, things got worse and worse. The masts was all cobwebs and some days all the crew laid around smoking, and everything was going to rack ruin as fast as 1t could. just as it is in another way in this coun- try of ours today There was big need of new laws on that ship and of some firm but kind hands to run things, and grad ually we all come to see it. but We never once thought of the ladies in the base ment as fit to do it.

all our changes, until one day we run across a ship that was bound from New York to San Francisco, and we keel hauled alongside and took her. You had ought to hear our captain, who was a very profane man, swear when he found out what taht ship was loaded with Nothing but books!'
 "I suppose he only wanted gold" said Miss Hinkcley.
 Just so,'' said Eliph' Hewitt. Our license only allowed us to take gold and jewels, but we had got so careless on board our ship by that time that we didn't abide by the law at all The captain was going to throw that whole cargo of books overheard when I spoke up.

he said. "every pirate was learning to drink tea with his little finger sticking out from the cup. One week of reading this remarkable work had raised them inn prisoned ladies to a point where they knew more about everything worth knowing than any of the men knew, and they took the voting away from the men and voted themselves into the of- fees, for this book had taught them useful information on one thousand and one subjects, comprising all the knowl- edge known to man. twenty thousand re- ferences in all, from A to z, calculated to makes the ignorant as wise as the most educated, and fit man, woman or child for the duties of life, as well IS provid- ing entertainment for leisure moments.

 How did the ladies get along as of- fcers of the ship?" asked Miss Hinckley.

Then lights was put out and all retired.
 One day the captain called us all to- gether and said, By Jimminy Crickets! laws just see how much better off we are now See how elegant this plrate business has come to be and how much better off we are. I move that we leave the ladies to run this ship and that we men all go on land and sell JhrDy hn- cyclopedia of Knowledge and Compendium of Literature and Art, statistics of which is given on page 263.

As l looked out over the plains I saw the sun rise, There was first a faint streak of yellow away off to the east. This grew until it became sheet of light over the horizon. A few minutes later a pale yellow sun could be seen through this veil. As it rose the veil disappeared and blazing white ball jumped out into the sky. For a time thin fleecy mist lowered over the sands, only to be followed by the clear air of the desert.

 I've heard as how pirate ships was awful places,'' said Miss Hinckley.
 Words cannot tell how bad said Iliph Hewitt. "The captain was a con stant user of cigarettes, and them men after dinner would keep sitting around the table playing dominoes for money. And all the time there was carousing that way their poor wives was locked into the ships basement. There them poor wom- en had to stay, week in and week out, and was never allowed on deck for fresh air or to take part in any of the elec- tions"

 Because we was afraid of them-that's the truthl said Eiph' Hewitt. We was afraid they would claim their rights and ask to be let vote and so many of the pirates had been killed off that the women was in a majority and could have run things to suit themselves if they had had any sense which they hadn't. never saw such an ignorant lot of ladies, but that was all you could expect of wives of pi- rates. So we kept the ladies locked down in the basement, and did my best to keep the ship cleaned up, but it wasn't no use for there was dirt everywhere, and the pirates always tracking in mud with their muddy beots"-
