CHAPTER VIII ontlnned. The boat was now clo alongside the Wanderer, and Captain Fox stood ready to receive hia visitor. Colonel Graham ascer.ded to tho deck with the light, aotive step of a much younger man, and he met Captain Fox with more heartinos? than might be expected from one of l is austere bearing. He was evidently Known to the other i officers of the ship, for they raised their ; hats to him, and ho bowed In his statei ly, condescending way as he accom- ! paniod Captain Fox to the cabin, fol lowed by utficllo, Dearing the strange saddlebags. Othello, with his load, was turned over to the care of Hon. the cabin boy, and the Captain said when they were m his private cabin: "You must be weary with your journey, and will need rest before we attempt to transact any business." "I shall need to make some change in my dress," said the Colonel, glancing over his travel-stained attira. "And, 1 i must confess I should, under the circumstances, feel that a thort rest was necessary; but I am too eager for action to wait " "A day more or less can make no difference." said Fox. with an interrogative inflection on tho last word "An hour, sir, may he of vital importance to tho suceoss of our venture. If quite convenient for you to provide me with some slight refreshment, after I have washed, I shall bo grateful." "As you will, sir," said Capt. Fox, with a manner that, to an observant eye, would have shown a strange mix ture of acquiescence and contempt. The Colonel was shown to the cabin set apart for him, and Othello was sum moned to aid his master in waking his toilet When Col. Graham again came into the cabin, he found it darkened, and the swinging lamps blazed on a repast such as no other ship in the service of Queen Anne could have provided on such short notice. Accustomed as Col. Graham was to the luxury and display which distinguished tho English court at this time, he looked about him with surprise and ventured to say: "By tho throne, sir, you must find no deprivation in living in such a ship." "We take care of ourselves, Colonel; If we did not, I fear that, as in some of her majesty's ships, there would bo a mutiny," "But this is still one of her majesty's ships?" "Nominally, Colonel, I suppose it is. We fly the flag, as you have seen; but the colors at the peak when we go into action are a shade or two less sanguinary, and very many shades more somber." The Captain was smiling and rubbing his hands as he said this, and there was so much horrible suggestiveness in his words and manner, that Colonel Graham looked quickly and anxiously about bim to make sure that no other person was within hearing. "We are quite alone, Colonel Graham. The food here is, I think, moderately good, but as to the wine --here are four kinds I swear that better cannot be found in the cellars of St. Jn.aes." Captain Fox sat down on the opposite side of the table to serve his guest, rather than with any desire for food. "You have seen Denham," said Colonel Graham, after he had been eating for some minutes in silence. "I have seen him repeatedly." "And what do you think of him?" "As a sailor I think he has, for his years, no superior. As a man he is well made, .handsome and, so well as I who never had a taste for literature or philosophy could tell, he is a most scholarly person." "He la well liked by the people here?" "Liked by the men and loved by nearly all the women, I regret to say." "Ah, have you already run counter to each other in the lists of love?" asked the Colonel, a glitter in his gray eyes that might have passed for merriment, If the hard, cruel mouth did not belie it. "I cannot say that," laughed aptaln Fox. "And yet, egad, Colonel, I bave not seen so many beautiful women in all my sailing as this little out-of-the-way place affords. " " You surprise me. " "Yet I do utter the solemn truth. My the trident of tho Sea God. I should not mind prolonging my stay for the rest of the year." "I regret to tell you that circumstances of greater importance to you than to me will compel your departure within tho week. If you carry out my plans, you can return again, and remain as long as you pleuse." The Colonel shot a glance at Captain Fox, and wont on eating. If the Captain was startled by this information, neither his face nor voice gave any Indication thereof. As if he were trying to keep up an interest in the conversation, rather than seeking information on a matter to him' of tho greatest moment, he asked: "Why do you think I should leave, if your affair Is out of tho question?" "I saw the Governor of the provinoe three days since, in the city of Xew York, and he read to me the report of Captain Balph Denham, which he had received not an hour before. This told me that Denham had arrived, about the time we expected. But Denham inclosed a letter to the Governor of New York from the Governor of Jamaica. Of this letter, I hoard a part "Can you recall it?" "Distinctly. It was almost verbatim, as follows: 'The fears that the Adventure Galley, which your honor assigned to the command of Captain William Kidd, has been lost in a storm, or destroyed by pirates, is, unfortunately, not well founded " "So-hol" exclaimed tbe Captain. "By the powers of the storm! my friend, Captain William Kidd, would not feel grateful to his excellency, the Governor of Jamaica, if he heard that But pardon tho interruption. What reason did he give for thinking it unfortunate that the Adventure Galley was not swallowed up by tho sea, or blown up by the buccaneers of the Spanish Main?" ."The Governor's letter went on to say that he had evidence, nearly conclusive, but which he would make conclusive, and send on at once, going to show that the Adventure Galley had been changed materially, but not so as to destroy her identity; that she was now transformed into the most dangerous piratical cruiser on all the seas; that hIio had recently been plundering the rich ships in the Indian Ocean: that this vessel ha J suddenly appeared in the West Indies, and that a runaway sailor had arrived at St Vincent and made oath that this cruiser was commanded by Captain Kidd, who still holds a commission in her majesty's service." Colonel Graham filled a glass with wine, drank it down at one gulp, and, pushing back from thu table, looked oritically at Captain Fox. But wha evt r of surprise the words might have given, had their information been more condensed, was prevented by the time it took the Colonel to tell his story, "My friend Kidd has not been following bis sailing orders, I must confess," said Captain Fox, covering his mouth with his hand as If to suppress a yawn. "I muat get word to him at once, and have him keep his eyes open. " Ha should remain at sea "" he has
destroyed some greater pirate than himself," said tho Colonel, his strongo gray (yes agutn gleaming as if with iauglitor, and his cruel mouth fastening as if it closed with a spring lock. "I shall see that my friend is informed of his danger. And now as to your own matter?" "I came to meet tho Wanderer at this point, and have dono so. Where is tho original Wanderer?" "At the bottom of tho Indian Oeoan, with all her ofilcors and crew," replied Captain Fox, sinking his voice. "So 1 supposod. Now, it will bo necessary to have this ship lost after she loaves this lort.'' "On paper?" "You mnt arrange that, but a report of her loss must reach the admiralty in iiondon, T lnavii Inn mntww, ,,r ir, tn vnnrmif v . ,..i, ...,. i,r in such matters than I am." "I bog yo :r pardon, Colonel: from the time we llrst met, or i at her liist exchanged views in Bermuda, where vou w.ro Governor.

But gad, sir, it is a matter of noto riety." Hero, I assume the rolo of a man whom we know to bo dead, and in Ens' and I am Lord Pali tun; but why speak of the faots? Why not treat mo as I do you?" Becau-e, sir, said the Captain, with a sarcastic laugh, "I do not want to lay myself open to a charge or rudeness. But henceforth I pledge myself to respect the incognito. Now as to Denhum?" "That is the point. Your own safety demands inimediuto action. Yes, it is iuperative that this Knlph Denham should be at once missing, and " "And nev t to bo found thereafter?" "You have it. Captain." "And I am to do tho business?" asked Fox. The Colonel compressed bis thin lips and noddod.

A ttEBCrF AXI) AS INTERRUPTED PIIIIPOSAI, The morning following the arrival of Colonel Graham, a "post-rider," as official mosseugers were then culled, arrived at Sog Harbor with a dispatch for Captain Balph Denham of the cruis er, Sea Hawk., Tne courier found Ealph at Squire Condlt's, talking to the old gentleman, while Valentine Dayton and Ellen could be seen in an embowered summer house, pretending to be interested in tho make or a curious feather fan, which brought iter from Tampico. he had "well, Bnlph, my boy," said the Squire, when Denham had finished reading the message, "what is it?" "I am erlered to New York," replied Kalph. "But as I have five days from no.v in which to report, I need not start for forty-eight hours." "I declare,'' said the old gentleman, adjusting his wig, as if he feared the surprise wou d force it off, "this is decidedly startling and unexpected." "Sailors and soldiers should never be surprised. " "But has the Governor given a hint as to why ho wants you?" "Yes; there is a rumor that one of the officers in command of a ship the Adventure Galley fitted out by this province, as you will remember, has turned pirate." "And the oaptain?" "Is one William Kidd, who came from London and took command of the vessel in Bermuda." -What do you think of it?" "I dislike,' replied linlph, "to think evil of a brother officer, unless the evidence is very strong, and in thoso days of talse rumor I am not incliued to credit it Yet, with the successful example of Mcrgan before him, who was knighted for some service done the crown while he commanded a pirate fleet, tho defection of Kidd is possible, for to a man without principles the temptat on to plunder in thone rioh seas must bo very great indeed." "Then you leave the ship hero?" "Yes: but I will at once give orders to get her ready for sea. It will be ten days before I return," sa d the Captain, rising and going to tho edge of 1ho piazza, where he i houted to Valentino Dayton the suhstnnce of his order Strangely enough, Capta'u Fox was passing at that very moment, and he must, subsequent events prove.), have heard what Balph said. However, ho said nothing, but politely raised his hut and kept n. He went at once to the principal inn and a?ked if a post had just come irom New York. The landlord replied thai there had. and that the messenger was then in his room, resting alter dinner. "It is important that I should see him. Do not call him. Show mo where his room Is and I will go to him." Capt. Fox had become a great man in the eyes of tho villagers. The officers and crow o" the Wanderer wero good customers; and so reasonablo a request from the prlncipa' officer could not bo denied. "How mu.-h monoy do you get for your journey hero and back?" asked Capt. Fox, when he was alcno with the courier, "About tn dollars, sir." replied tho mnn, rubbing his eyes, for he had been asleep. Did you tnng a louor tor uapt. fox of tho Wanderer?" "No, sir; the only letter I brought was one to Capt, linlph Denham of the Sea Hawk." "It came from tho govornor of the province?" "Yes, sir." "Do yo j know tho contents of the letter?4 "Only, sir, that' tho cnotaln fo I heard him say is ordered to Now York Bay," replied the messenger. "Can you koep a secret?" Capt. Fox pulled out a purse, through whoHo silken meahos the yellow flash of tunny gold pieces could be soen. "If anyone made it worth my while to do bo and It wasn't ngainst tho law," j replied the man. hiB hungry eyes fas- ; tened on tho purse, which the Captain : was tossing from hand to hand, that the fellow might get some Idea of its value. "I wish you to give out thatis.totell every ono that you al?o brought the j Captain of the Wanderer a letter from ; the Governor. Do you understand?" i as Captain I 'ox asked the question he : tossed the purse into the man's lap, for he was silting up In bed. "I do, sir," replied the man, feellngthe purse, "but I'm 'foord the story being false 'II get me Into trouble." "There Is no danger of that. Do this, and I will give you as much more gold and a 'ree passage to New York on my 1
ship. I sail inside of forty-eight hours. It is a joke I Wish to play on Colonel Graham, who is now on board tho w anderer, " "La, sir, I see him at the Governor's in New York when I started. He overtook me at Hempstead. " "Tho same gentleman. Now, will you do as I say?" "Why, sir, if ho lie It's only to hein along a bit of a joke, which all line gents do like sometimes to play on each other, of course I'll do it." That his employer might got an idea of his eagerness to earn tho money, prospective and in possession, tho messenger forgot his weariness, and, spring ing out, of bod, began to dress. Warning him to act in all seriousness, and promising to see him on tho morrow, dipt. Fox went away, confident that he had s: ored another point in the game he wits so daringly j liiving. That man arrylng out siKh hazardous schenr'S t-hou'il give a thought 1I
love, which is generally supposed to io man's joyo :s way of spending delightful leisure, is not a little strange. But Capt. Fox was not nn ordinary mini.

But after each meeting with the beau tiful Lea he became moro and more infatuated, until now he had to confess that ho was deeply in lovo.

Tim greatest living Frenchman today is Louis Pasteur, whose 70th birthday has Just been observed with more than ordinary ceremony. He stands without a superior as an original investigator. In 1(M0 he was appointed professor of chemistry in the High School of Dijon: in 1852 he was a member of the faculty of Strasbourg: three years later he was at the head of the faculty of sciences of Lille, and in 1857 he was made Scientific Hi rector of the Normal School in Paris. Professor at the Sorbonne from 18B7. he obtained successively ; and beer, and In 1879 lie was voted a I life pension of 12,000 francs annually I by the French Parliament. His principal works, those which are read and re-read by all the savants of the globe, arc his studies on the diseases of wine (1800), of vinegar (1808), of beer (lSTli), of (lie silkworm disease (1870), and of microbes in 1878. This last mentioned book is the bible of chemists and physiologists, and in it are set forth, described and proved with great authority the principles of the new science which humanity owes to Pasteur. His discovery of the means of attenuating virus transformed surgical and medical practice. He applied his theory in researches on carbuncle diseases, chicken cholera, septicemia, and hydrophobia. After having established his ability to prevent diseases in animals, Pasteur utilized his discoveries for the bencfit of human beings. The Indefatigable savant louna mini unity lor man against that terrible malady known as hydrophobia, and the success of his treatment for mad dog bites is being more and more conclusively ; proved by experience as time rolls on. ! He is a very modest man, -ind as i sensitive as a child. The observance I of his birthday is indeed memorable, j Vfhen he walked Into the room lean- ! ing on the arm of President Carnot ! and holding the hand of his own sun, ! Pasteur's knees knocked togethi cr literally, and he was glad : -when he. reached his chair. The j tears rolled down his checks as i distinguished men from all parts of ' Europe talked at him and about him, and when It came to his turn to say ! something he stooj up and tried to j do so, but could not. Prof. Huxley I says: "The discoveries of Paste-ir ' would sultiee to cover the ransom of live milliards which J-ranee was forced to pay Prussia." Ix 1729 a discoverer named Stephen Gray found that electrical influence could be conveyed to a distance by insulated wire. Komagnesi, in 1805, and afterward Sehweigger, Schilling and SU'inheil, and others whose names follow up to Henry, made discoveries which arc recorded in the evolution of the telegraph, and most valuable ones: Morse did little for the telegraph which is named after him, save to devise what is known as the Morse alphabet. A German chemist in 18011 found that thin leaves of metal were fused when traversal by a current of a large Voltaic battery, thus showing a conversion of electricity into heat. In the year 1820 the scientist Oersted, of Denmark, found that a mantretized bar when suspended in proximity to an electric current Is made to move, thus showing that electricity is convertible into mechanical power. A German scholar named Seebeck, j in 128, showed that heat j was directly convertible into elccj tricity. Faraday showed that chernical force as well ns mechanical force ! is, through the agency of magnetism, convertible into electricity. In 140 Joule, of Kngland, established the quantitative relations existing Ik--tween chemical, calorific, mechanical I and electrical energy. The dynamo i electric machine was gradually j evolved from an apparatus called a i shock machine, in which currents are i obtained by rotating i small electroi magnet by a crank. The suhst-itu-i tion in these machines of the electro for the permanent magnet was made by Wheat-stone. Siemens and Vari icy also discovered the possibility of ! utilizing a portion of the electrical energy derived from an electro-mag-I netic generator to re-enforce the intensity cf its own magnetic Held. A hundred men In Kurope and America rapidly improved mechanical appliances based iijKin the above tbeoretical discoveries, and the grand result ; is the perfected dynamo-electric ma- ; chine of to-day. CoMi'MtHD with many animal creations, man's physical strength Is by no means great An ordinary man has about all ho can do to move a weight of forty pounds placed horizontally, while the mole cricket easily moves 400 times its own weight, or exhibits a thousand t imes the strength of a man in proportion to its weight. Had a man such strength in proportion to his weight he could pull up trees by the roots and push over brick buildings, and had he the agility of a flea ho could Jump half a mile and over the water tower at the same time without an effort,
SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD Which Housefcerpors Should Earnestly Consider, A serious danger menaces the health of the people of '.his country In tho numerous alum baking powders that are now being urged upon tho public. Thero is no question as to tho detrimental effects c-f those powders upon tho system. Every Board of Health, every physician, will toll you of tho linwholosome qualities they add to the foo I. Seine countries have absolutely prohibited the sale of broad containing alum. Even small doses of alum, given to children, havo produced fatal results, while cases of heartburn, indigestion, griping constipation, dyspepsia, and various kindre-i gastric troubles from irritation of thu mucous moinbrano, caused by the continuous use of food prepared with the alum or alum-phos-nhnti' miwilnra n rn fn mlllu r in tl,o .
j lice ot every physician. ir is not possible that any prudent housewife, any loving mother, will knowingly use an article of food that will injure tho health of her household, or perhaps cause the death or her children. How shall the dangerous alum powders be distinguished? And how 6hail the danger to health from their use be avoided? Generally, alum powders may bo known irom the pr.ee at which they aro sold, or from tho factjtiiat they are accompanied by a gift, or are disposed of under some scheme. The alum powder costs but a few cents a pound to make, and Is often sold at 'ill or 25 cents a pound If some present is given with it, the price may bo 30, 40, or 60 cents a pound. It is impossible to name all the alum powdois in tho market, but any baking powder sold at a low price, or advertised as costing only half as much as cream of tartar powders, or accompanied by a prese nt, or disposed of under any scheme, is of this class, detrimental to health nnd to be avoided. But tho easy, safe and certain protection of our 1 tend, biscuit and oake from all danger of unwholesomeness is in the use of the Boyal Baking Powder only. This powdor is mentioned, because of tho innumerable reports in its favor by high medical authorities, by the C. Government, and by the official chemists and Boards of Health. which leave no doubt as to its entlro freedom Irom iihi n, lime and ammonia, its absolute purity and wholesomeness. While Its use is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders, it is satisfactory at the s&mo time to know that it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which wtll keep moist and fresh longer, and that can be eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing to its greater strength It is more economical than others, These facts should incline consumers to turn a doaf ear to all importunities to buy the inferior powdors. If a grocer urgos the salo of the cheap, impure, alum brands, it should bo bomo in mind that it is because he can mako more profit on them. The wise housekeeper will decline in all casos to take them. yViA-f no ehnnecH through using a doubtful article irAure go important a matti r it the health Or life of dear ones in at xlnkc. A. Curious a'larrlag-e Custom. The marriage customs in some parts ot Hritianv are very curious. In Coriiiillle the village tailor Is the important personage to whom tho candidate for matrimony applies for a list of eligible girls. Having selected one, the tailor at once proceeds to the maiden's father, carrying a wand of broom. Ho is dressed for the occasion inofficial stockings, one of which is of violet color and the other red, ami with him is the suitor and his nearest relative. While the family chiefs are making their arrangements, the lovers retire to the other end of the house and discourse their own "sweet music.'' It is necessary that the en gaged pair should put an end themselves to tho term of negotiation. They approach holding cao.i other by tho hand, to the table where their parents or relatives are seated, v.hen bread, wine aud brandy are brought in... The young man and the maiden oat with the same knifo and fori; and drink out of tho same cup, and the day for tho union is then agreed upon. The Mi'lio.i. A Woman's Lonely IlaU-Coiilury. A strange romacce was ended bv the death near Stoiiersville, Pa., recently, of Mary Keis. who for lifty years led a lonely life because her parents forbade an early marriage. Sho was 78 years old. Wiieu a girl she felt in love with a young man whom her parents did not admire, and thev forbade a marriage. This broke Mary's heart and her homtj had no more charms lor her. Sho preferred to live by herself and she refused to accept tne hospitality of friends or neighbors, saying '.hat all tho world was against hnr. Twenty years ago she moved into tho litt-lo stone, house, and after that she rarely saw anybody. On Monday :i friend called and offered to help her in any war, but tho aged lady refused aid. Her body was discovered on her kitchen iloor and S20 was found in the little bouse of tho recluse. Pniladelpbia, Iiecord. Lariv liirrua linrcly'K Non-apaper.

Last year there were lucky belles, and "bleeding hearts," all diamonds, with a single ruby drop, but now the "battered heart is the supremo thing. It Is of hammered gold with tho ruby gleaming in the midst. Ul ass lockets, too, are seen, and in their transparency a fourleaved clover appears.

A Cat Jumps Twcnly-lwo Feet. There Is a largo Maltese cat. making its headquarters at the Seventh Police Precinct Station that is bound to go on record as tho smartest feline known. Like all other cats it delights in capturing sparrows, but unlike othor cats, it has never been known to let a bird get away that it mada up its mind to catch. Lieut. Thompson Is authority for the statement that the cat, perched on tho cornice of the building, made a leap of twenty-two feet Into a tree and caught a sparrow. The Lieutenant has also watched the eat while bird-catching and has counted nine sparrows carried to a ? not and after the hunt was over devoured one by one. A peculiar trait of tho cat is that there. Is but one man who reports at tho station that she will make friends with, and lie is Pat-rolrian liowland. When ho is on night duly the cat will follow him from tho time he goes on duty until relieved nest morning. All tho dogs In tho Newturg region havo encountered tho cat on several occasions, and when sho Is In sight the canines take tho other side of tho s troet. Cleveland Press.

How due Whist Party Was Enlivened. A novel aud mlrth-:rovoking experiment was devised recently by an original hostess for the selection of partuora at a whist party. Fauillyjalbums wero ransacked for photographs of all the gentlemen present in long dresses, in kilts, or i in tho"iirst pair, and these wero shaken together in a hat, from which tho ladi&s drew. Some ot the bald heads above the . dress suits bore sufficient," resemblance to the haul heads in the muslin baby ! frocks to be easily recognized, but in others it;was dillicultl.to trace ownership. The most amusing part of the play was the amazement of the men when the pictures appeared, for they, like the ladlos, wore unaware of the plan.
