CHAPTER XIV.

The lookout on the power schooner Maggie II had sighted Diamond head before Commodore Adelbert P. Gibney, Captain Phineas P. Scraggs, and En- gineer Bartholomew McGufiey were enabled to declare, in all sincerity Cor at least with as much sincerity as one might reasonably expect from this band of rowing rascals), that they had en- tirely recovered from their narrowing experiences on the desert island of Tu- vana-tholo, in the Friendly group.
 At the shout of Land, hor' MT. Nc Guffey yawned. stretched himself, and sat up in the wicker lounging chair where he had sprawled for days with MT. Gibney and Captain Scraggs, un- der the awning on top of the house. He fexed his biceps refiectiveiy, while his companions, stretched at full length in their respective chairs, watched him lazily.
 "As member O the Maggie syndi- cate an ownin' an votin' a quarter in- terest," boomed the engineer, ''I here by call a meetin' O the said syndicate for the purpose O transactin' any an all business that may properly come before the meetin'."

Fact That Is We'll Known to Mariners May Be News to Some of Ou-
 Readers.

A boy dropped a ball into a small hole and could not get 1t out, so he poured water into the hole, thinking the ball would float to the surface. AS the ball was slightly heavier than the wa ter 1t remained on the bottom. Then the boy thought of mixing salt with the water, since he knew salt water would float heavier objects than fresh water would. He tried this and was reward ed with the floating ball.
 This particular fact is demonstrated at the mouths of rivers. Objects roll ing along the bottom of a river,> too heavy to come to the top, will rise when carried out to sea. The rule also applies to boats. A ship with a cargo on the sea will sink sometimes a foot or two on entering a fresh water port If she leaves the port with her cargo, she will rise on entering the ocean. For that reason a ship may be loaded apparently too heavily at a pier and still be all right on the waves.
 In building a dam, the fact of salt waters being heavier than fresh must be remembered.-Kanss City Star.

 "But a cannibaPs like dumb beast, Glib. He afn't responsible. This mate knows better"
 "AhI I' MT. Gibney leveled a horny forefinger at the engineer. "'That's where you hit the nail on the head. He's too fly, and there's only two ways to keep him from fyin' away with us. The first is to feed him to the sharks and the second is to treat him like a long-lost brother. I know he ought to be hove overheard. but ain't got the heart to kill him in cold blood. Consequently, we got to let the villain live, an if you go to beatin' him up, Mac, you'll make him sore an he'll peach on us when we get to Homo lulu. If us three could get back to San Francisco with clean hands, I'd say lick the beggar an lick him for fair. But we got to remember that this mate was one O the original flibuster crew O. the old Maggie I. The day we tackled the Mexican navy an took this power schooner away from 'em, we put ourselves forty fathom plumb outside the law, an this mate was present am knows it. We've changed the vessels name am rig, an doctored up the old Maggie's papers to suit the Maggie IT, an we've give her a new dress. But at that, it's hard to dis guise a ship in a live port, an the se- cret service agents O. the Mexican gov ernment may be a-layin' for us in San Francisco; and with this here mate agin us an ready to turn states evil dence, we're pirates under the law, an it don't take much imagination to see three pirates swingin' from the same yard-arm. No, sir, Mac. I ain't got no wish, now that we're fixed nice an comfortable with the worlds goods, to be hung for a pirate in the mere shank O. my youth. Why, ain't fifty year old yet"

by some S1Xth sailor sense Ne1lS t1al- vorsen became convinced that his old friends of the vegetable trade were
 marooned. They had gone ashore for some kind of frolfc, and the crew had stolen the schooner and left them
 to their fate, believing that the cast aways would never be heard from and that dead men tell no tales.
 He rushed on deck, carried his prfS- oner down into the cabin, and locked the door on him. A minute later he was clinging to the Jacobs ladder, the canoe shot in to the side of the vessel at his gruff command and passed on shoreward without missing a stroke of the paddle. An hour later, accompanied by three Kanaka sailors picked up at random along the water front, Neils Halvorsen was pulled out to the Maggie IT. Her crew had not returned and the bogus captain was still trfced hard and fast in the cabin.
 The Swede did not bother to inves- tigate in detail the food and water supply. A hasty round of the schoon- CT convinced him that she had at least a months supply of food and water. Only one thought Surged through his mind, and that was the

The Maggie II swung around and with long streak of opalescent foam trail- ing behind her swung down the bay and faded at last in the ghOStly moon light beyond Diamond head; after which NeiIs Halvorsen, with murder in his eye and a tarred ropes end in his horny fist, went down into the cabin and talked to the man who posed as Captain Scragg In the end he got a confession. Fifteen minutes later he emerged, smiling grimly, gave ] the Kanaka boy at the wheel the course, and turned in to sleep the sleep Of the conscience-free and the weary.
 Darkness was creeping over the beach at Tuvana-tholo before MT. Gibney could smother the despair in his heart sufficient to spur his jaded ina agination to working order. For nearly an hour the three castaways lad sat on the beach in dumb horror gazing seaward. They were not alone in this, for little further up the beach the two Fiji islanders sat huddled on their launches. gazing stupidly first | at the horizon and then at their white | captora. It was the sight of these | two worthies that spurred MT. Gfb- | ney's torpid brain to action.

Not that it will be any better than the Edgeworth you buy in store, but we want you to have your first Edge worth smoke at our expense.
 You may repay us by finding that Edgeworth just suits your taste. And if it doesn't-for there are some few men to whom Edgeworth is not just the thing-there's no harm done.
 We are glad enough to send free samples in the same spirit that we'd hand you our pouch if circumstances permitted. We wish it were possible to save you even the little trouble of writing for Edgeworth.
 Edgeworth is ikable smoke. Men who have tried it and found it to be the right tobacco for them never think of smoking other tobaccos. They'll tell you there are many good tobaccos- there are. And when you offer them your pouch with "stranger" tobacco in it, they may use up pipeful just to be friendly.
 But notice how quickly they get back to their beloved Edgeworth!
 Day after day Edgeworth fans write to us. They tell us human little stories, friendly anecdotes centering around Edgeworth. Often it is the number of years they have smoked Edgeworth that prompted them to write.
