IT'S the smallpox. The darned hook
er's rotten with 1t. For God sakes,
come quick!"
he ran % the rail, yelling orders to
Bill and Thoph, who were frantically
busy with the dory. Ellery began to
climb the ladder. His head emerged
into the clean, sweet air blowing
across the deck. He drew breath to
the very bottom of his lungs.
Then from behind and below him
came the voice again.
Gimme a drink" 1t walled. Gimme
a drink Of water. Amt one Of you
cussed swabs got decency enough to
fetch me a drink7 I'm dyin' for a
drink, | tell you. I'm dyin'!"
The minister stood still, his feet on
the ladder. The three men by the rail
were working like mad. their faces
livid under the sunburn and their
hands trembling. They pushed each
other about and swore.
Thoph and Bill sprang over the rail
into the. boat. Burgess turned and
beckoned to Ellery.
Come on!" he called. What are
you waitin' for?"
The minister remained where he
was.
Are you sure" he faltered.
Sure! Blast 1t all! l found the
log. 1t amt been kept for fortni't,
but there's enough. It's smallpox, l
tell you. Two men died of 1t three
weeks ago. The skipper died right
afterwards. The mate No wonder
them that was left run away as soon
as they sighted land. Come on! Do
you want to die, too?"
From the poison pit at the foot of
the ladder the man in the bunk called
once more.
"Water!" he screeched. Water!
Are you goin' to leave me, you d-n
cowards?"
For Heaven sakes!" cried Burgess
clutching the rail, what's that?'
Ellery answered him. Its one Of
Them" he said, and his voice sounded
odd in his own ears. Its one Of the
crew."
The minister turned. Hush" ht

The Fresh Egg.

The fresh egg beats to froth easier
than a stale one. 1t takes a longer
time to boil fresh egg than 1t does
a stale one. The fresh egg when
boiled will peel OF smoothly. The
stale egg is not so heavy as the fresh
one, and the shell becomes shiny and
smooth, probably from the little oil
that exudes by evaporation from the
contents of the shell.

CHAPTER XIV.
In Which the Minister Boards the San

"Hey, Mr.. Ellery!"
1t was Captain Zeb Mayo who was
calling. The captain sat in his antique
chaise, drawn by the antique white
horse, and was hailing the parsonage
through a speaking trumpet formed by
holding both his big hands before his
mouth.
The minister and Mrs. Coffin, the
former with a napkin in his hand, had
emerged from the side door of the par
sonage and now came hurrying down
to the gate.
Land OF Goshen!" exclaimed the
captain, you don't mean to tell me
you amt done breakfast yet, and It
after seven o'clock. Why, Mr.. Ellery,
tell you: Emlous Sparrow, the fish
peddler, stepped up to our house few
minutes ago. He's Just come down
from the shanties over on the shore
by the light-where the wreck was,
you know-and he says there's a
'morphrodite brig anchored three or
four mile of and she's flyin' colors
hat mast and union down. They're
gettin' a boats crew together to &c
of to her and see what's the row. I'm
goin' to drive over and thought may
be you'd like to go along"
A moment later the minister, having
donned his hat and coat, ran down the
walk and climbed into the chaise be

Heavy Demand for Mutton.

Sheep are becoming better property
than formerly, and the farmer who
likes the woody friend and can see a
brighter future for wool and mutton
will add few to his farm herds. The
demand for mutton is away ahead of
the supply.

Ventilation for the Hogs.

A house to accommodate single

ventilation, although there should be
enough to keep the air in good condi-
ton, but where a dozen or more hogs
are kept in the same house perfect
ventilation is necessary.

the skin is next exposed to the

deeper and can be given another
hot water and cream treatment.
In Il few days 1t will be strong

This method Of treatment
keeps the skin from hurting

little to lessen the tan. One Of
the best things to bleach tan and

arsenic in the cucumbers Is the
