The second snow storm of the sea-
son occurred on Wednesday afternoon
last. For nearly an hour the flakes
fell very swiftly but the weather con-
ditions were such that they melted as
fast as they fell.
The friends of Miss Mary Crockett,

Summer, will be sorry to learn that
she is suffering from typhoid fever
at her home in the Old Dominion me-
tropolis. Latest reports state that
she is doing nicely and with no serious
set back her speedy recovery is look
cd for.
The contractors are still driving
away at The work on the new bridge
across the Pocomoke River at this
place. The weather thus far this
winter has been very favorable and
good work has been done. Of course
1t will not be long before it is prob
si'le that work will have to be sus-
pended but it will be only for short
While as the winter is already about
half spent. AS soon as the spring OPP
ems they will start in at full spec!
and it is safe to predict that the
structure will be completed and ready
fer use by the middle of the coming
summer, something that Pocomoke.
City has been looking for and hoping
fer 10 these many years.

ans had only to listen to It's voice to
enjoy in anticipation all the fruits of
their iniquitous schemes. The sight
of the golden coins intoxicated them.
They played with the doubloons like
children, jingling them in their cal
loused palms, guessing at weight and
value, calculating their equivalent in
the joy of living. Laughter and oaths
resOunded.
And now the night that l unutter-
ably dreaded was upon us. But the
pirates still thought Of nothing but the
gold They had exhausted their own
portable supplies of liquor, and were
loud in their tlenunciati0ns of our bone
dry camp, as they termed it.
1t was Tony who Intercepted ten
tative movement of Capt. Magnus in
my direction, and ordered me into the
cabin with my aunt and Miss Browne
Through the walls of the hut we heard
loud and eager talk of the morrow and
it's certain golden harvest as the pi-
rates made their dispositions for the
night. Then the voices trailed off
sleepily and silence succeeded, broken
only by the ceaseless murlnur of the
waves around the island.

CHAPTER XVI.
From Dead Hands.

At the head of the file. Capt. Tony
advanced through the clearing, and
what with his flowing black beard, his
portly form and certain dramatic
swagger which he possessed, he looked
so entirely Italian and Operatic that
you expected to hear him ut any mo
ment burst out in sOnOrous bassO
With sweeping gesture he flung
down upon the table two brown can
vas bags, which opened and discharged
from gaping mouths q flood of golden
coins.
Slinker and the cross-eyed man
shouted aloud. They ran and clutched
at the coins with Il savage greed.
"Gold, gold-the real stuff! It's the
of EN-" These cries broke from
Slinker and Horny confusedly as the
gold slid jnging between their eager
fingers.
'fhe rest of 'em is-wlere they is"
pronounced Tony oracularly. "Some-
where's in the sand of the cave, of
course. Well dig 'em up tomorrow
liofillnS.
"WEat was the point in not digging
'em all up while you was about it?"
demanded Slinker, lowering. "What
was the good o. digging up jest these
here couple O bags and quitting?"
Because we didn't dig 'em up" re-
sponded Tony darkly. because these
was all ready and waiting. Because
all we had to do was to say "Thankee,'
TO the feller that handed 'em out. We
got these here bags of doublOons, as
| says, without havin' to dig for 'em-
Oncet we had found the cave, which
it's no thanks to old Washtubs we
amt looking for it yet. We got these
here bags right out of the fists of Il
skeleton. Most of him was under
rock, which had fell from the roof and
pinned him amidshipS. Must of
Squashed him like beetle, guess.
But he'd still KEEP his hold on the
bags turned aside, for fear that
anyone should see how white l was.
TO the rest, these poor bones might In
deed bear mute witness to tragedy,
but IA tragedy lacking outlines, vague,
impersonal, without poignacy. To me,
they told with dreadful clearness the

last sad chapter of the tale of Peter;
Peter who had made me so intimately
his contidante, whose love Ind hopes
and solitary strivings knew all
about.
Vaguely heard around me q babble
of excamations and conjectures. Muir
murs of interest rose even from our
captive band. Then came Slinkers
voice. loud with sudden fear:
Say, you don't suppose the-the
Bones would of got away with the rest
of the coin somehow, do you?" he de-
manded
"Got away with it?" Tony contemp-
tuously thrust aside the possibility.
"Got away with it how? He sure
didn't leave the island with it, did he I?
Would he Of dug it up from one place
jest to bury it in another? Huh! Must
of wanted to work IL he did! Now, my
notion is that this happened to one of
the guys that was burying the gold,
and that the rest jest left him there
for sort of scarecrow to keep other
people out of the cave"
but the gold?" protested Slinker.
'"rhey wouldn't leave that for q
scarecrow. would they?
Maybe not" admitted Tony, "but
suppose that feller died awful slow
and went on hollering and clutching al
the bags? Well, that cave wouldn',
be a pleasant place to stay in, would
it? And no one would have the nerve
TO snatch them bags away to bur!
EN-. cause dying man, especial!
when he dies hard, can have an awfu
grip. So what they done was just t
shovel the sand in on the gold they,
slowed away and light out quick"
