THE INVALID REWARD.

in some measure explains the allow
ance of pain in the realm Of benevo-
lent Creator. What waves of thank
fulness are at this moment moving
round the human world as tides travel
the seas, thankfulness for the sweet
repose after the pain has died away!
The consciousness of courage in its
highest self-compliment belongs only
to the sick. Il know-do | not know

Who does the most complaining In
this world? Not the invalids. For
hours on hours they lie there. secretly
resolving, Let me make myself less
a sorrow to others than ] was yester-
day And these are victories,
grander far than those of war. When
these moral conquests are extended
over months, perhaps years, the he
roic sufferers room often becomes a
chamber Of comfort to all who are
unhappy. What triumph when to
the chair of some grand martyr come
the friends of wide circle that her
gentle hand may wipe away their
tears. These are the uncrowned
queens of our race. In almost every
home there is a name above every
name, that Of the sweet and patient
invalid.

Other gentlemen who are associated
| with me In this enterprise are busi-
ness men who prefer not to court the
kind of publicity that such an adven-
! ture invites. That Is all / can say
about the expedition"
Capt. Browns story is at least the
first consistent explanation of the rea-
son many other expeditions have re-
turned empty handed from Cocos ISL
and. History gives considerable color to
the tradition of buried pirate boards on
its waste. Lord Cochrane. an adventur-
GUS English nobleman who was made
admiral of the Chilian feet sent into
Peruvian waters to capture Spanish
prizes, tells In a book he wrote
OF the revolution how he pursued
Spanish frigates conveying $4,000, 900
of golden booty taken by the Span
iaYds from Lima. Cochrane and the
Chilian Gen. San Martin split over
this treasure. Cochrane secured the
seas but failed to find the Spanish
vessels, and there is no record that
any one OF them ever reached Spain
Hovering off the coast were notori-
Gus pirates. Benito de Sofa, the most
rapacious, was afterward executed at
Gibraltar. Cochrane captured Blair.
an English pirate, right at Cocos
Island during his chase of the Spanish
galleons. The following day. at the
same island. he captured one of his
| own ships which had deserted with
mutinous crew and turned pirate.
These records serve to give founda-
tion to the tradition that Cocos Island
was a haunt of pirate craft. But
! while Cochrane got the pirates at
Cocos he found nothing on board and
! 1t never occurred to him to search the
seraggy little waste that has since
lured so many diggers for treasure.
