of all. Therefore, I advise you to be
cautious
"FIy, fly! this IS no place for living
men!" cried tinid Prudence.
But the young Knight was full Of
eagerness and fiery courage, and moth
ing could stop him. Forth to the
darksome hole he went, and looked in.
His elittering arnor made a little
l;ghss, by which he could plainly see
the ugly monster. Such a great, hor-
r:ble thing it was, something like a
snake. with a long tail twisted in
knots, with stings all over it. And
near this wicked big creature. whose
ether name was Falsehood, there were
a thousand little ores, all varying in
shape, but every one pad and ugly;
for you may be quite sure that wher-
ever one of this horrible race is found,
there viii always be mary others of
the same family lurking near
When the light shone into the cave
all the little creatures fled to hide
themselves. and the big parent False
hood rushed out of her den in terror
But when she saw the shining armor
of the Knight she tried to turn back,
for she hated light as her deadliest
foe, and she was always accustomed
to live in darkness, where she could
nsrther see plainly nor be seen.
When the Knight saw that she was
trying to escape, he sprang after her
as fierce as lion, and then the great
fight began. Though he strove vail
artly. yet he was in sore peril, fer
suddenly the cunning creature flung
her huge tail round and round him, go
that he could Stir neither hand nor
foot.
Then the Lady Una cried out, to
encourage him. "Now, now, Sir
Knight, show what you are! Add
faith unto your force, and be net
faint! Kill her, or else she will surely
kill you"
With that, fresh strength ard cour-
age came to the Knight. Gathering
all his force, he got one hand free, and
gripped the creature Eby the throat
with so much pain that she was soon
compelled to loosen her wicked hold.
Then. seeing that she could net hope
to conquer in this way. she suddenly

CHAPTER xI.
To the West Indies.

A fortnight later the mutiny at the
More shook and bewildered the British
isles.
The day after Richard Parker Wis
tied the Ariadne the fleet had been put
under the control of the seamen's Del
egateS, who were men of standing in
the ships and of personal popularity.
Their first act was to declare that the
feet should not leave port until the
mems demands. were satisfied.
The government had armed the forts
at Sheerness, had sent troops and guns
to Gravesend and Tilbury, and had de-
clared war upon the rebellious fleet.
At the head of the Delegates, Rich
ard Parker, with an officers knowl-
edge, became a kind of bogus admiral.
who, in interviews with the real adj
mirals and the representatives of the
admiralty board, talked like one who,
having power, meant to use it ruth
leSsly. The government had yielded to
the Spithead mutineers, giving pardon
TO all except the ringleaders, and
granting demands for increased wages
and better food. with a promise to con-
slider the question of prize-money but
the More mutineers refused to accept
that agreement, and enlarged the
Spithead demands.
The Delegates demanded a deputa-
ton from the admiralty, Parker de-
elaring that no accommodation could
occur without the appearance of the
lords Of the admiralty at the More.
Ihen followed threatening arrange
ments, and the Delegates decided to
blockade the Thames and the Med
way.
It was at this time that Dyck Cal
houn-who, by consent of Richard
Parker, had taken control of the
afIadne-took action which was to al

Before the day was over the whole

in the far distance could be seen the
dark blue and purplish shadows which
told Of land; and This brought the

On this day, with the glimmer Of
land in the far distance, the charges
of all the guns were renewed. Also
word was passed that at any moment
the ship must be cleared for action

and the guards were put on duty,
TO the right of the Ariadne was the

they We're nearing land had already
given the officers and men a feeling Of

sItied as they came through the TURF

gateway to the Windward passage be

the sunny, tropical world was upon the

that, and said at last

seemed 10 come into the field Of bat
tie. Dyck Calhoun could see the strug-
gle going on. The two sets of enemy
ships had come 10 close quarters. and
in some eases were locked in deadly
conflict. In ether cases ships, stin
apart, fred Mt point,bIank range and
all the horrors Of slaughter we're in
fun swing
From the square blue flag at the
mizzen t0pgaliant masthead of one OF
the British ships engaged, Dyck
realized that the admirars own craft
was in some peril He saw with salts

Ariadne to bear down upon the French
ship, engaged with the admirals small

cesSfully for the British cause.

Before the first shot was fired, how
ever, Dyck made tour Of the decks
and gave some word of cheer to the
men. The Aradne lost no time In get
ting into the thick Of the fight The
Seamen were stripped to the waist,
and black silk handkerchiefs were
tightly bound round their heads and
over their ears
What the French thought OF the
coming of the Ariadne was shown by
the reply they made presently to her
firing The number Of French ships
in action was greater than the British
by six, and the Ariadne arrived just
when she could be of greatest service.
The boldness Of her seamanship, and
the favor Of The wind, gave her an adj
vantage which good fortune helped to
justify.
As She drew in upon the action, she
gave herself up to great danger; she
was coming in upon the retr 0f the
French ships and was subject 10 fierce
attack. To the French she seemed

WEALTH IN THE ROCKS

News that the number of men at work on mining claims in the Com stock region is steadily increasing is gratifying. No one can believe that Nevada has anywhere near reached the limit of the development of its mineral wealth. It is as certain as can be that for centuries from time to time there will be new finds of riches, for the search for hidden ledges cannot be finished for ages and those which are not hidden have not yet been by any means fully ex- plotted.
 In fact, the development of agricul- ture in the numerous valleys of the state will be an aid nj the hunt for the precious metals as we'll as for the valuable salts and alkalis which are yet to be developed, as time will de- mand. Irrigated valleys will form bases from which prospectors can op- crate.
 The coming of agriculture develop ment does not imply the loss of min ing, but will bring greater opportuni- ties to the mining industry itself and greater prosperity to all citizens of the state.
 Nevada, in one respect, is compar- able to the old Southern states, in that it has depended in too great part on one industry, and as those states are finding increased prosperity in pro portion as they introduce other than cotton production, so Nevada will find a net increase in profits and in pop ulation by the establishment of farm ing operations on a bigger scale.- Nevada State Journal.

STATE FARM LOAN
 INTEREST IS DUE

Annual interest on state farm loans which is due July 1, is already pour ing into the office of Raymond Ear hart, state treasurer, according to an announcement made yesterday by Mr. Earhart.
 A larger proportion of payments has been made at this time than at this date in any previous year, de- clared MT. Earhart, who believed this to be an indication of improved condi- tionS.
 The state loans amount to approxi- mately $1,750,000 for which it receives interest at the rate of 6 per cent. The money is securde by first mortgages.
