CHAPTER II Continued. "Why this rejoicing?" asked Lea Hedges, reining in her horso beforo Bquire Condit't) gate, and n.ldrcasin j tllen, who stood with more than the sunset glow on her lair hock$. Uh, Jjea! gjod news! good news! caied lleu, running out and taking her friend's hand. "Then do not keep it back, Ellen, for my very soul yearns for news good, bud or indifferent- anything to ureak th i monotony of this dull life. Ah, if 1 were a man I should make my own news and give tlte world a fresh ami Btartling supply every (lav, b it being only a woman, 'a weaker vessel,' as tho dominie says, who" li a would h .ve gono on at somo length in hor bantering, half-real, haiflaugh.pg way, had not Ellen Condit interrupted her by calling out: xne sea tiawK uas tun anonoroa in the harbor!" Tbe Sea Hawk?" echoed Leilledgos. and for the instant the color lied, un Jet the est Itement, fro.n her cheeits. nnd she sprang, from her hor e, tho spirited creature mak.ng no effort lo Ret aw y, though there was no restraining hand on the br;dle. "Yes; she has been in sight for an hour, and Ixalph has sigmiled that he ii coming ashore at once, Mother has just gone in to order supper, uud every servant on the place is hard at work to give their favorite a welcome." "There, Mi d, go home nnd tell Black Joe to put you in the s able." Lea Hedges threw the bridle rein over the pummel of the t addle, and the intelligent horse, w.lh a snort that no combination of letters could conv-y an Idea of, tossed up his head and walked away with comiai dignity. "You will come into tho house and wait," said Ellen, encircling her friend'H waist with her left arm, and making as. if she were going to tho house. "No, my love, we shall take the oilier direction," eaid Lea. "To the village?" "No, to the shore. Let us greet th brave boys before th.'ir feet press tho eoil. Ten months sinco Ihey sailed away: It has seemed like ten years The Sea Hawk carried with her all the life and glory of the islan 1. I pray that tho pirates have torn none of thoni from us." This was said as the girls hastened down to the beach, a few hundred yarda below Squire Condit's house. "The pirates have not taken (he Sen Hawk," said Ellen, who, though as ra.ieh rejoiced at the ship's arrival, had neither her friend's enthusiam nor hor fluency of expression. I knew the pirates never could take her; they might destroy her. but she would go down with tbe Hag flying and ' every living man at his post, " said Lea "The people are cheering and the bells are ringing. Lea." J "Aye, but the . heors are all too fainl w express my ieeiing, an i uie utu tinkles, when it should clash, and clang, and bojm. Hark, a gun from tho ship! See the smoke rising from the port like? a monster's bieath on a frosty morning. There is music in that sound. How did men tight before tbe roar of cannon set the warrior blood to throbbing in their veins?" Ellen Condit did not attempt to an swer her friend's question. By this time tney couia see a tiuat lowered away from the Sea Hawk, into which 8i rowers and four officers got. The boat shot away from the shin. and headed straight for the beach where the girls now the center of a large crowd of whites and gaily attired Indians were B'anding. 10 n the stern sheets Cant. Dcnham waved his hat, and the people answereu with a cheer. The men at the oars threw a'.l their strength into the quivering blades, till the boat at each stroke seemed fairly to leap from the water. nolle the Captain s cutter was still several hundred feet from the shore he recognized among the throng the face of Ellen, his adopted t-istor, and of Lea, his old playmate and friend. He rose in his place and ratssd hii; hat. and the first and second offlce.vs did the same. The people on shore supposed tho greeting to be general, and they atoncu sent up a cheer, which tho men at th'i oars answered, and as they shouted tho boat seemed to leap from the water, an if it, too, were animated, and shared in the joy at again touching the soil on which it was built. Captain Den! am sprang ashore the instant the boat's bow grated on tho wbi.e beach, and the people were not surprised to see him catch Ellen in his arms, lor was she not his sister Lieutenant Dayton was near him, and his arms were ibout Lea, whose iip. a eyes were now full of tears of ;oy. alentine was her own cousin, soma said he was her lover, but of i hat this is not the time to speak. Every man at the oars was native to the place, and had mother, sweetheart, or sister to greet him. It would be a waste of time to describe what the most prosaic reader caa easily imagine. The men laughed and shook hands again and again. The women smiled through their tears and seemed never to weary of repeating the first greeting. And in the midst of it all, down camj Squire Condit and Dr. Hedges, and ti them the welcomes were repealed, an:l the gathering j eoplo chcerel till th increase i volume of sound rolled out to the ship. .Here, the watching Bailors forced to stay on board caught i he joyous contaglcn, and springing into tho rigging, they shouted in a way that called out all the crew of the strange)', who cheered also. To speak of ihe feast and dances that followed that night would take a gootisized volume. The officers of "The Stranger," as wo shall call the other ship for the want of a better name, were invited, and ho w this was brought about, we shall now proceed to explain. CHAPTER HI. A SBABEK TUT OF THE OFFICERS AND CIISW OF THE M.IANQEH. Wh'le there was no name visible on the bow or stern of the stranger at least to those unable to make a clone examination on the caps of the sailors, on the coverings of th'j upper-dock guns, and on tbe many small boats swinging n readiness irom the davits was tho word "Wanderer." As on the Sea Hawk, everylh'ng on board the Wanderer was in the Btate of perfect order which old suitors designate as "ship-shape. The crew w. re power'ul, fiereo-look-ing lellows, and, though thei o was not one man with gray iiair or beard visible, all were in that golden prin.e of lifo when experience restrains the impulses of youln, w.thout lessening its activ.ty or vigor. The ma'orlty of the crew was decidedly English, but accent and face told that the minority was composed of many nationalities; not an unusual thing in .this day when I ngland, in order to reoiuit her warships, sent p:ss gangs on shore, and, if ecus on required, did not besitat) to force into ber service the sailors of merchantmen overtaken on the high seas. - When nations became robutrs in sou drt, it PPt to bs wondwad at j

th ut pirates wero plenty, as much for their contempt for law as tlioir desire for plunder. Capt. William Fox, commandor of tho Wanderer looke.l liko a m .n in every way qualified f.r his duties. Ho was about ;lj years o.' age, ra:her slender and of n odium height, whh hair nd beard that would be called "golden" by thi poetic and "red" by those of n prostic turn. Ills eyrs were blue, but wi ll that steely glint that is rarely seen except in eyes or urny. dipt, i ox must have been in these wa'ors beiote, for when a yacht cnnio an ugside offering a pilot, ho shouted down: "I know 1ho channel, and I can't foil if I keep tn tho wak of the !:oa Hawk." He seemed tho very personification of activity, but it was act.vity without neivousness. His short, qu ok commands were given w tit doeision, and obeyed with the promptness end regularly of fine mechanism. After tho anchors wero down, and tho sails furled, Capt. l'oc said lo a Llaekcyo I officer, some years younger than himseli: "Come to my cabin, Mr. Krenauld. I wi9h to speak w th y. u." "Aye, aye, sir," replied Lieut. Fronauld, toueh'ng his, 'tap and following the Capla.n down the companion-way. The cabin or tho Wanderer was quite in keeping as to nei.tness with tho other Paris of the ship, but ihe furniture was su. h as even an admiral could not have affo ded. Tho place was crowded with works of art. Tho walls wero covered wiih pictures, tho most incongiu ms ioligious pieces be;ng hung side by side With fierce attle pictures, and rudo enpids placo l in com.iunionsh p with w.nged choiubs and seraphic mudomns. Through tho op n doors of some of te staterooms opening into the cabin tho same lavish adornments could bo 8 en, giving the idea of a float n ; nrtgallery. rather than the quarters of officers on a ship of war. And th.s lavish profusion of wealth was visible in the poreons of the o.ficers, certainly in the two who now retired to un inner cabin. Their finger were half covered with rings, in winch emeralds of dee,!, st tiut and diamonds of purest water flashed, and tho I tickles on their shoos, or "pumps," ns they were then called, were washes of tho same geir.s. After clodng the door of the cabin behin l him Captain Fox p unted the nontenant to a chair and tat down himself. This done, he deliberately pulled of his puims, and drawing a p'alnor pair from a drawer near by ho put them on. He then removed his finger rings an.l threw them, with the shoes ho had taken oil', inlo a bo t. "We must, put away these things for ttiA nracont lv Vinnan H " Co ill fnntn in j Kox. "It is well enough to wear them ! at sea, wharo the night of them will in spire our men to deeds of greater valor, but hero they ma,- create suspic:on, an i that is the very thing we must avort" "Of ccurse, sh-," replied Lieutonunt Frenauld, nnd he at once removed his jewels, going into another room to remove his pumps. Coming back, he asked: -Shall I instruct the other officers, Cap ain?" "Xo; I have ordered litem to wear nothing that does not accord with tho.r rank as officers in the service of the good Queen Anne " Captain Fox hesitated, and Mr. Frenauld nodded, an 1 said: "I understand, s.r." "I expec.ed that Captain Denhnm would have di no mo the honor of a visit tho instant tho Sea Hawk ca ne to anchor. " "Had, sir, he would have visited us before that if ho knew who wo were," said Lieutenant Frenauld, with a low laugh. Tho Captain frowned, bit his Hps, and, evidently ill-pleased with hH subordinate's levity, he continued as if ho had not beard it. "Perhaps I should not bla-ne Captain Denha u, lor this is his hoii.e, and the home of most or his oil'cers and men, and it isnatuiei thatnennd they should hurry asho e to see their kinsmen and sweethearts." "A sweetheart in Donham's case, sir, for, as we know, ha has no kin hero." "lou forget, ' said tbe Captain, tapping the table with the tips of his fingers and frowning. "i ardon me, sir, but I did not think," said the lieutenant, ap-jlogeticully. "ihat it would bo amiss to allude, under tho circumstances, to whit we loih know at out Captain Dennam's nnces ors." "It is amiss, s r. Zounds! if an echo of tho facts camo to his ears, all our great schemos would crumble to ashes like the Dead Soa apples, even 'hough we had them ri; o in our grasp, and we are near that now. Let me speak if there be spoaklng n enssary; it is your duty to act." And now Ihe captain brought his clenched hand down oa tho table. "1 have never been below, sir, when there was work to do aloft," lopliel Lieutenant Frenauld, his dark yes show ng that he did not at all relish his superior's rebuke. "Very well." The captain's manner was mild in an instant, showing that he was an actor as well a a sailor. "Wo must go ashore to-night, a id ray onr respects to tho authorities. In the meantime, I shall f cud a note on board with my compliments to Denham. Hot the cutter leafly with a pieVcd crew, nnd a ter supper I will go ashore, lakin,' with me yourself and Harry Lu How. Full dress, mind you." "And side arms" asked Mr. Frenauld, as he rose to leave. "How, sir, can nn officer In her majesty's service be in lull dress without his side arms;'" sna ped the captain, his eyes flashing again. "True, sir " A rap at the door, and before Frenauld could say another word Captain Fox shouted: "Come in!" A handsome lad of sixteen f ame in, his cap in one hand and a no o in the other. "Well. Ton?" "The cards of two g. ntlemeii who have just come aboard, iir," replied th3 cabin boy, Don, speaking with a strong Scotch accent, and handing the paper to the captain. "Ah, by the Spirit of Blake!" cred the captain, hero are tho vlliago fathers come to do us courtesy. They shall ha - o a royal welome. Stay, l renauld, and help mo receive them. Stand I y, Don, we shall need your sei vices at onco." The captain's faee and eyes lit up. He was all an million now. His moo Is were like those of nn Alplno sky, or would have I een wo o they not tho direct effect of his strong will. Ho sprang into h s pr.vole cabin, and In less tt an a minute he came outaga n in a dress coat, a regulation el apnnu under his arm, and a straight stiff-sword belted to his hip. Ho hur.-ied on deck, where Squire Condit, in a blue coai wllh brass buttons, knee-breeches, silk lioso, low shoes with Mlver buckles, und a well powdered wig with a pendenr. black ribbon, was looking ai out him with that air of awe a landsman shows when first ho steps on boaid a ship-of-war. Dr. Hedges except that his ooat was bottle-green a color at that time affectod by tho medical profession was dre&i-ed exactly liko his friend: and save as to somo difference in stature tho for.ner being ? hort and eto .t they might have passed for twin bi o hers. "I am oodwlll ondlt," said tho sijuiro advancing to tho captain with a bow, intended to be stately, an 1 his right hand oxton led, "holding a coinmission tindorhor ma'osty whom may (iod preserve as Justice of tho Peace in the County of Suilvlk, in the Province of New York."

The price at which the various articles are to lo Sold would lie so low ns to rapidly saddle the organizers of the scheme with a heavy deficit, and it Is proposed to render the system self-siippnrUng by utilizing tho machines and the wrappers and carriers of some of the goods as means of advertising.

Truilo in Gun Flints. Not many people know that thero is still a considerable trado lu flints for guns. Yet thousands of Hints are shipped eve y year to Africa, where the natives arc still using old guns, when they can gc- no other, and these Mints meet with a ready sale, payment being given in Lory and other valuables. Nearly all the Hint comes from tint chalk chlis along the English Channel, where it, occ urs in inexhaustible quantities tn the form of uo.lu'.cs varying In size from a linger to a child's head. Tuns of It are I rc tight to this country, unintentionally, in chalk, and m the neighborhood of a plaster mill on the outskirts of N'twtown, L. I., bushels of flints arc pi iod around the fields. There Is little or no trtio Hint occurring as a native prod let in America. New York buu. Answered. It Is not always safe vo bo too confident In your assertions, even to an ignorant man, tor ho may get the better of you in un argument. Tills truth was well illustrated In a story told at a recent conference in England on technical education ir. villages. One speaccr. referring to tho prevalent Ignorance about common things, said that he once saw a laborer digging Hints In the chalk, and asked him If ho thought they grew. "No." was the roply. "1 don't think about it; 1 knows they do." "Then pi tee a Hint on your chimneypiece, and so how much it grows in a twolvemontb.''' "All right, sir, and do you do tho same with a tater and see how much that grows. " A Slu to Trader's Hurled Gold.

"Each Spoonful has done its Perfect Work," is the verdict of every woman who has used Royal Baking Powder. Other baking powders soon deteriorate and lose their strength, owing to the use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking Povvdor is so carefully and accurately compounded from the purest materials that it retains its strength for any length of time, and the last spoonful in the can is as good as the first, which is not true of any other baking powder.

Tho Farmers' Telegraph. "A rural farming district In Michigan," says the Engineering Magazine, "has provided itself with a telegraph lino eight miles in length, connecting a largo number of scattered farms with tho village store, the proprietor of which officiates as telegraph operator, express agent, postmaster, and so on. Tho total cash expendiditiiro for tho outfit Is said to have teen only somo S200. while tho expense of maintenance, which is but a trilling sum. Is assessed equally upon the owners. The small cost and enormous convenience of such a system as this iu country districts ought to lead to a more general ac option of the plan. Especially alter the expiration of the telephono patents in ISSt. such a system of Intei 'communication by wire would bo possible in every township .throughout the country. The individual expense would bo almost itislgnlticant, and In tbe item of useful travel alone would save many times its cost every year."
