lOuSneSS.
Removing his utensils from the
stove, so as to give the newcomers
chance to cook, he proceeded to take
his meal from the top of his grub
box, himself sitting on his bedrou.
Between mouthfuls he talked trail
and dogs to the man, who, with head
over the stove, was thawing the ice
from his mustache. There were two
hunks in the cabin, and into one OF
them, when he had cleared his lip,
the stranger tossed his bed-rol.
We'll sleep here" he said, Gun
less you prefer this bunk. You're the
first conner and you have first choice,
you know"
That's all right, Messner answer
ed. Zone hunks just as good as the
other" He spread his own bedding
in the second bunk, and sat down on
the edge. The stranger thrust ply
sician's small travelling case under his
blankets at one end to serve for a
pillow.
Doctor" Messner asked.
YES" came the answer, ''but l as
sure you didn't come into the Klon-
dixie to practice"
The woman busted herself with
cooking, while the man sliced bacon
and fired the stove.
"0h, it's a great life,'' the doctor
proclaimed enthusiastically, pausing
from sharpening his knife on the
stove pipe. What 1 like about it is
the struggle, the endeaVor with ones
own hands, the primitiveness of it,
the realness. e.. i.
81 say, Tess" he said the next mo-
ment, "don't you think that coffee's
boiled long enough?" .. ... d.
At the sound of the woman's given
name John Messner became suddenly
alert. He looked at her quickly,
while across his face shot a haunting
expression, the ghost Of some buried
misery achieving swift resurrection.

turning to her companion: by the

may ask?"
'Haythorne, if you'll take my word

"And Mrs. Haythorne." Messner
smiled and bowed
She flashed look at him that was
more anger than appeal.
Haythorne was about to ask the
others name. His mouth had opened
to form the question when Messner
cut him off. -
Come to think of it, doctor, you
may possibly be able to satisfy my
curiosity. There was a sort of scan

But surely" said Mr. England,
there would be no harm done. Has
crime pock-marked me? Am l
loathsome? And can you not, sir,
consider me at all? A few weeks -
a short trial-a speedy hangman-a
dead England! How gayly could
those weeks be passed in the near
ness of beautiful lady! Would you
send me onward, my captain, with no
gentle memories?"
'Mr. England said the captain,
moved, my duty is as plain as the
north star on clear night; but in
utmost sincerity your sentiments are
tearing my mind"
Let me appeal to her great gra-
ciousness," said Mr.. England. LET
me tell her who and what am, and
then. if she stand for me"
''You will tell her who and what
you are?" said the captain, weaken

the worst, she can but spurn and de-
spise me and / shall have played the
storytelling Moor"
you shall have your chance" said
the captain. "And now, see she
comes hither.
"Her eyes are like the morning."
said Mr.. England. And he added:
''I viii lay my best gilt buckles
against half dozen of your Bur
gundy that the lady takes the part
Of the pirate"
"Mr. England" said Lady Pelham,
jestingly, "the time is come when you
did promise to confess your manifold
sins and wickedness before all men,"
The time was night. The full
moons sweet light radiated across
the dancing sea, and the while sails of
the Hynd Horn were lighted by it.

now / would fain run from you, for
what have to tell will lower me I'M
speakably in your gracious sight.
Il will pardon my courtier in ad-
vance," said Lady Pelham, "for /
need his service"
She looked up at him with a Won
derful girlish sweetness.
Down to the southwark" con-
tinued Mr.. England, there was an
island Of the sea. Seen from above,
it was like an outstretched hand upon
the waters; long, safe harbors were
between it's fingers, and the five
knuckles were redoubtable noun
tains, susceptible to rare defenses. In
the harbors of that island was a great
safety and hiding-place for certain
ship, and on the shores were deep
matched homes for men. There were
storehouses full of silks and satins
and brocades, and spices, and all
good things. Many a chest of gold
and silver was in the keeping Of the
strong sands"
Lady Pelham settled deeper to the
mystery of listening.
There was a ship" said Mr. Eng
land, so shapely and served with
such cunning sails that not one other
ship in all the world was so swift
upon the seas. The ship was manned
by crew of hundred men, and cap
tanned by devil"
Lady Pelham shifted uneasily.
Nov, what manner of kingdom
was that, Lady Pelham" said Mr..
England. Whence came those satins
and brocades, those chests of gold?
What manner of men lived in those
deep-thatched homes and sailed that
ship? What manner of man was
their captain? will tell you, Lady
Pelham. We were bloody pirates, and

OLD CRAB TREE is
PROLIFIC BEARER

j. F.. Hoffman has a crab tree at his
home, 200 North Moore street, that is
a prolific bearer of fruit. Although
standing for twenty-four years the old
veteran has never missed a year since
advanced age, bears heavier each sea
son. An instance of the manner in
which it yields its crop is seen In the
two branches taken from 1t that were
brought to the Courier Office yesterday
afternoon.
These branches are heavily laden
with small yellow Jelly or willow crabs
that find ready sale for cooking. No
1t started to bear fruit, and despite it's
less than eight bushels Of the baby
apples have been picked this year
from the tree and it is still borne
down nearly to the ground under the
weight of it's fruit.
A year ago the lightning struck the
tree and split 1t through the trunk
from the fork to the ground. The body
was bound and tied up. 1t has since
grown together and aside from a scar
OF the lightning stroke the tree ap-
pears the same and still bears as ever
