Ia ~ r. EASY was for natural
M equality and the rights of
40 man, which Mrs. Easy did not
mind, she being allowed to have her
game of patience. Behold then con-
tented couple to whom, after eleven
years of married life, was born our
hero Jack. For nurse to the baby the
family doctor introduced a strong,
healthy young woman. Mrs. Easy,
catechising her, was Mortified. ''What
mot married. And you had a
child"
eff you please. ma'am, it was such
a little one!'
The young woman Joined the Easy
household, where she aided every 9TH
er member there to spoil young Jack /;
and so we have at five years of age a
complete specimen of the headstrong
young male. To save him from utter
ruin, the family doctor urged that he
be sent to school which he could
highly recommend The parents
agreed, but with the proviso from Mr..
Easy that he must not be flogged.
The benevolent-looking master of
this school was against hogging also.
Gaming, in his judgment, was more
efficacious; so without troubling to tell
Mr.. Easy of it, he caned our hero
beautifully. Thus, when at fourteen
Jack came home to live, all the bully
was gone from him. In place thereof
was a great disposition to argue
things, with natural equality and the
rights of man as his favorite themes.
Two disputatious people under one
roof were too many. Jacks father
packed him off to sea in H. M. sloop
Harpy, where he very soon learned
that the natural equalities were not
I'm high favor. If he was not towed
ashore on a grating by court-martial
order for some of his socially an
archistic opinions when his ship ar
rived at Gibraltar, 1t was probably
because the captain of III. MIS-. Har-
DIV was indebted to Jacks father for
the loan of 1000 pounds.
Jacks radical opinions did not les
sen his naval zeal. As midshipman in
command of the ships second cutter
In a certain expedition he ignored the
recall signal and so lost sight of his
own ship; but losing sight of her led
TO the capture of q fine big enemy
ship; and among this ships passen-
gers was a lovely Italian girl, whom
Jack treated with great courtesy, even
TO seeing her safely ashore in a near
by port.
Being the only officer in his force,
IT was Jacks duty to navigate the
prize back to Gibraltar. Simple
enough" he said. "The land was on
our left hand coming out. it should be
on our right hand going back;" and
he was doing pretty well on that the
ory when a gale of wind came along
and blew him out of sight of land.
In the cargo of their prize the crew
had found some casks of wine, to
which they helped themselves, and,
coming to a group of islands where
Jack put in TO reconsider his naviga-
ton, they went ashore and got glori-
ously drunk. Their wine gave out.
They hailed the ship for more. Jack
said no. They set out to swim to the
ship after it, but sharks caught three
of them: the others returned aboard
on Jacks terms.
Jack sailed his prize over pretty
much the whole Mediterranean before
he found his own ship again. He had
been gone two months. But such a
story as he had to tell and $4,000
no found in the cabin Of the prize
helped out the telling it. His captain
commended him. but also advised him
