DICK RODNEY; Op. The Adventures of An Eton Boy... OY J AAA ES GRAIN T.

CHAPTER XXIV. The Thunderbolt. An emotion of mingled freedom and satisfaction possessed the whole crew on being rid of cur tormentor, and Lamfcourne now took charge cf the brig, which he was perfectly able to handle and work, though ignorant of navigation as a science, and having but a vague idea f the course to steer for the Cape trf Good Hope. She was hove in the wind, while in the mconlight. about two hours after the ex.-iting scene which closes the last chapter, we committed to the deep the- body of Antonio's last victim, the poor apprentice, whom the sailmaker f ewed i p in his hammock, to which. being wi'hout shot or other suitable weights we tied v. sack of coals to sink th. corpse. Tho '.cad-yards were filled again, and. as :f anxious to leave that portion cf the sea a- far as possible astern, v? haukd up for the cape. Tom LamboLrne ordered every stitch of canvas :iat the spars would hold to be spread upon the Eugenie, that she might, as he said, "walk through the water in her own style." All he could do at first was to keep her in the course we had been steering cn the night these disasters began, for as yet we knew not to what degree of latitude, south or north, we might have been drifting; however, we calculated that Hislop. weak as he was. might be able to take a solar observation anu prick off our rlace on the cuari, m me course ot six or sevon days. We had the usually snug little cabin cleansed and cleared from the debris created by the outrageous proceedings of Antonio, who must have gene to the bottom with all Weston's valuables and money about him. as we could find neither; and the sweet expression of the poor widow's fate, as it seemed to smile on us from the miniature on the after-bulkhead. contrasted strangely with all the wild work that had so lately taken place on board. Hislop and I were restored to our former berths, and Iben more than once in my drearas the pale olive-gre?n visage and glaring eyes of the Cubano tame before me, and again I seemed to see him dinging unpitied and in desperation to the slender boom which swims ahove the seething sea for his death and all its concomitant horrors haunted me and made mo unhappy. The intensity of the heat in that season suggested the idea that we could not have drifted far south of the line. So great was it that the upper spars .. imr L.nt.nu..' appeared to wriggle or vibrüte like serpents? aloft in the sun shine: while so l-.n r.y -t ihm. o ca-ar anu so the atmosphere between rarefied was uecia tnat it was suCocated. especially in the lulling of the faint breeze. A white heat seemed to make sea and :-ky grow pale, and the former cast upward a reflection from its glassy surfate and long smoUh swells that was hot bet 1. yund a!l description. Though ever and anon the uoper deck was drer.chM wit!i salt water, it dried immediately, emitting a strong eder of wet wood, while the skids over the side failed to keep the paint, tar aDd rosin rising in larg? burnt blisters. About the time when we hoped that Hislop would have been well enough to make an observation, even by being placed in a chair on deck, the weather became so rousih that he was unable to leave his berth, and during all that day the brig drove before a heavy gale, with her courses hauled close up. the fore and main topsail yards lowered on the caps, and their canvas close reefed. After the beat we had endured, the reader may imagine this gale would be refreshing and a relief. Not so. The atmosphere, as it became dark with gathering clouds, increased in density, closeness and beat, thus about the time we should have had clear twilight, the hour was gloomy as a northern midnight so dark that the men in the tops, or those lying out along the foot-ropes at the yard-arms, when under close-reef d topsails, could not be seen from the deck, while the breeze that swept over tiie ocean was breathlesshot as the simoon of the desert; end our men knew not whether they were drenched by perspiration or the spoondrift torn from the warm wave tops by the increasing blast. The peculiar appearance of this black pale alarmed and bewildered Tattooed Tom. who could make nothing of it. while poor Mare Hislop, whose skUl would have ben invaluable to us. when be heard tri" sinking out on deck, the thunder .f the bellying courses strolling with their brails, the roar of the wind through the half-barr-d masts and rigging, the clatter of blocks or.d feet overbad, writhed in his bed. and mourned bis own inactivity, or rather incapacity; hut he sent me to tell Lambourne to rover up the anchors with wetted canvas, as it was rot improbable, by the state of the atmosphere, that it was full of electricity and thus we might be in a dangerous way. "Tell Tom." h whispered, "it is a trade-wind gale I know it to be so." "How?" I asked, "when you are lying here below?" "tty the barometer, which remains hiffh, while the wind is steady." repl'ed Hislop in a low voice, for he was still very weak; "if the barometer fall, be sure it will become a typhoon, end then, with a short-handed craft. heaen help us! lint jr"e Tom it is only as yet a trade-wimCale to take as much canvas off her as ht can, and to make all snug aloft. We'll have thunder directly, Dick such thunder as you can only hear In the tropics." He sank back, exhausted even by these few words, while I hurried on deck with his orders. I had scarcely conveyed them to Lambourne, who wa3 keeping a lookout forward, when, amid the du3ky ! obscurity jpf sea end sky, there burst a sudden ?am f wondrous lieht

Ik Mi

The men. who wre spreading some old. wetted sails over the sheet and working anchors; the steersman at the wheel, the watch and all hands who were crouching to leeward, or holding on by ropes and belaying pius to windward, seemed for a moment to become white-Visaged specters amid a sea of pale. blue flame a sea whereon the flying brig, with her brailed courses and reefed topsails, her half-naked masts and Mack cordage, were all distinctly visible as at noonday, while the polished brass on funnel, binnacle and skylight all flashed and shone, as ship and crew, with all their details cf form and feature. "Were instant seen and instant lost." For a broad and blinding sheet of electric flame burst upon the darkness of the night, and passed away as rapidly, when the livid brand burst in the welkin or in the wave, we knew not which. Then came the roir of thunder the stunning and appalling thunder of the tropics, every explosion of which seemed to rend earth, sea and sky. as they rolle. 1 like a palpable thing, or like the united salvo of a thousand echoes at the far horizon. After a sound so mighty and bewildeiing. the bellowing of the wind through the rigging, the hiss and roar of the sea as wave broke against wave; the flapping of the brailed courses; the creaking and straining of the timbers, seemed as nothing the very silence of death while the Eugenie tore cn. through mist and spray, through darkness and obscurity, with the foam flying white as winter draft over her bows and maitingale. Again there was a pale-green gleam overhead, right above the truck of the mainmast, where the chambers of the sky seemed to open. The clouds divided in the darkness of heaven, and out of that opening came the forked lightning, zigzag, green and ghasilv There was a dreadful shock, which knocked every man down, except Carlton, who was at the wheel, and an exclamation of terror escaped ns all. A thunderbolt h; d struck the Eugenie! With all its wondrous speed instantaneous as electric light could be-it glided down the main top-gallant mast, rending the topmast-cap and the framed grating of the top to pieces; thence it ran down the mainmast, burst through the deck and spent its fury in the hold. At that moment the main-topmast, with all its yards, gear and canvas, fell about the deck in burning brands, and the brig was hove right in the wind's eye. while the sea twitched the helm out of the hands of Ned Carlton, who became bewildered on finding the corn passe;-- lose all their polarity by the influence of the electric fluid, th- north point of one heading southeast and of the other southwest. Almost immediately after this there was a cry of ' Fire!"- that ry s(, terrible, so appalling on board ship; and then thick white smoke was seen to is.-ue from the crevices of the battened main-hatchway. All hands rushed to this point. Th? long-boat wa unshipped from its chocks and dragged aft; some .-tood by with buckets of water, while otheis struck off the padlocks and iron bars; the tarpaulin was torn away the hatch lifted -and !o! A column of fiie ascended in a straight line from the body of the hold lurid, red and scorching, as the casks of molasses and bales of cotton burned and. blazed together. A column that rose up between the masts, scorced through the mainstay, all the braces of the foreyanN. and tilled the whole vessel with light, announced that all was over. "It is a doomed ship!" cried Tom Lambourne; "we miK-t leave her at last. Clear away the longboat. He cool, lads; be cool and steady! Your lives depend upon your conduct now, and your obedience to orders!" CHAPTER XXV. Cast Away. Not a moment was lost in getting the longboat over the side, and with a heavy splash, by which it was nearly swamped, we got it afloat. Ned Carlton and l'robart, the carpenter, sprang in to fend off and keep it from being stove or dashed to pieces by the sea against the brig's side. Iiy the wild, weird glare that rose in frightful columns from the main and fore hatchways we had plenty of light, as it shone far over the huge billows of that dark and tempestuous sea. to which we were about to commit our fortunes, and now a pale and half-dressed flure approached us. It was Marc Hislop. whom the terrible odor had roused from his berth in the cabin, and be now came forward, supporting bis feeble steps by clutching the shrouds and belayingpins. I rushed below and brought up a blanket and great coat to wrap him in, and he was promptly swung over into the boat, where Carlton received and suppotted him. Three I jags of bread, with a tarpaulin to cover them, two kegs of rum, four casks of water, with oars, sails and blankets, were thrown p-dl-niell into the boat. A hatchet and a bundle of spun-yard completed cur stores. The compasses were considered now to be useless, or were omitted, I forget which. The wind still amounted to a gale, though less violent, and It fanned the growing flames, so that the fated brig burned fast. The lightning still flashed, but at the horizon, and the thunder was heard to grumble above the hiss of the sea; yet we heeded tnem not. though they added to the terror and the grandeur of the scene; and. most providentially for us, the fury of the storm wast past. Tattooed Tom was the last man who left the brig, and the moment he was In the boat he exclaimed, with a loud voice, that rang above the roaring of the flames, which now gushed through

every hatchway and aperture, above the howling of the wind and the breaking of the frothy sea "Shove off! out cars, there, to star-board-pull round her stern pull with

a win to windward keep the boat's bow to the break of the sea!" We pulled silently and vigorously, and soon got clear of the brig, through the four jtern windows of which four lines of light glared redly on the ocean. All our strength was required to achieve this, for the brig, being the larger body, attracted the boat toward her. However we got safely to windward, which was absolutely necessary, for to leeward there fell hissing into the sea a torrent of sparks and burning brands from the rigging, which was all in flames now. Resting upon our oars, or only using them to keep the boat's head to the break of the sea, and to prevent her being swamped an operation during which they were as often nourished in the air as in the ocean, when we rose on the crest of one vast, heaving wave, or sank into the dark vale of water between two-resting thus, we gazed in silence and with aching hearts at the destruction of our home upon the sea. We could feel the heat of the conflagration even to windward. In a quarter of an hour she was enveloped from stem to stern in a sheet of fire that rose skyward in the form of a pyramid. Dy this time every vestige of her spars, sails and rigging had disappeared. The entire deck had been consumed; the bulwarks and molded plank-sheor rapidly followed, and through the flames that roared fiercely from the hollow of her hull we could see the black timberheads standing upward like a row of fangs. Rents appeared next in her sides as the flames burst through the inner and outer sheathing, and with a hi ssing sound as they met the waves of the briny sea. Then a salt steam rose, and its strange odor, with that of the burning wood, was wafted at times toward us. At last she gave a sudden heel to starboard, and with a sound unlike anything I ever heard before a deluge of water extinguishing a mighty tire the waves rushed tumultuous in on all sides. She vanished from our sight in mist and obscurity, and a heavy darkness suddenly replaced the glare that for a time had lit up the heaving sea. dazzling our eyes and sickening our hearts. ' (To be continued.) WESTERN NOMENCLATURE. Movement to (hange the Curious Oualnt N tue of Oregon Town. It is difficult to shake off the names attached to streams and mounta'ns by the pioneers of a now country. With few exceptions Washington state has fared well in nomenclature. In a majority of instances Indian names have been retained, and usually they are easy rnd poetical. Hut in some cases thn individuality of the first settlers prompted them to an efforl to -Improve on the native names of streams anil sections, and in some instances they were not happy in their originality. The word H'ingmiui has clung to th? little stream which skirts Spokane on its western border, and repeated spasmodic efforts to center the public min i on the metre melodious name Latah have failed of their purpose. Now Senator Plummer of this county has introduced bill at Olympia to make this change, and as no objection can attt' h to the meaMire it will probably p;ss, and may exert sufficient force to bring about the desired change. A few years ago an esthetic movement swept through the Oregon legislature, and a number of pioneer names were tur:ii down for more polite ones. The1 good people of Alkali, in eastern Oregon, imagined that the name was not om to conjure eastern capital, and drop.i.-d it for Arlington. A new name was devised for Bully creek, and Valler Dog and IJake Oven were tabooed as primitive and unpoetic. Bake Oven has adhered, and is still the name of a postoflice. Indeed, much room remains for improvement of the nomenclature (jf Oregon, which includes in its list of postoflices the towns of Burnt Ranch. Gooseberry. Haystack. Lobster, Long Tom. Mule. Shake, Shirk. Starveout, and Sucker. A few names in Idabo could be dropped for the better, among them Bayhorse. Corral, Gimlet. Gentle Valley. Sawtooth, and Yellow Jacket. Spokane Spokesman-RpvIx. STRATFORD-ON-AVON. Important Improvement? Since tue Time of William Shakespeare. The clerical staff, postmen, rural messengers, and others connected with the Stratford postohice, and the subpostmastcio of the district, were entertained at supper at the Unicorn hotel on Tuesday night, this being the twenty-seventh annual gathering. The mayor (W. Pearce) presided, and was supported by a number of the leading tradesmen, the vice chair being occ upied by IZ. B. Wyim. Responding for "Our Postmistress" (proposed by G. Boyden). Mr. Doonan, (chit! clerk) spoke of the gieat in (Tease ot work at the Stratford pustoffice. Within the last few years the clerical stafl has been doubled and the number ol telegrams was increase I at the rate of lO.oOo a year. The year 1S:7 showed an increase of 10.0';0 over those of ISDii, and now, from the returns just made up. it appeared that there was a further increase ejf 10.000 over those of lSli". (Applause.) The telephone was about to be added, the clerical stall was to be further increased, the duplex system of telegraphy had been authorized in order to cope with the increased work and, notwithstanding that the poatoffiee had been built only a few years, some important structural alterations and enlargements had become Imperativ? and were about to be carried out.

Many cruel blows have been struck at the influence of the chemise, but after diverse false substitutes have been put forth and had their day, this chosen undergarment of our foremothcrs retains its hold on feminine affections, and a woven silk chemise bids fair to put the silk undervest out of sight and mind. The new silk chemise Is as pretty, cool and as graceful a little article of underwear as manufacturing genius can turn out, and the stout woman can adopt It without a qualm. Its weave Is as fire and flexible as the most delicate silk stocking, and down to the waist it fits the body like a glove. Below this point it is sloped out. without any superfluous fulness, and falls to the knees. The prettiest of them are edged about the shoulders and crmholes with a line of silken lace, and ver the bust open work silk forms flights of butterflies and knots of flowers. Chemises of mashed linen, that is almost as flexible as the silk, are made on these same lines, and are durable and comfortable beyond words. Toilet Jacket. There Is a very charming air of great simplicity about the new summer dressing gowns. combing jackets, morning wrappers, etc., due to the fact that the majority are made of dotted swiss and filmy cross-barred muslin. It is true that many of them are loaded with lace and threaded with ribbons, but for all that, with dotted muslin and the pretty, inexpensive point de Paris lace, the sweetest sort of a breakfast neglige for a hot morning can be dished up at no price at all. The point to keep in mind, when making up these summer peignoirs, is to get a cape-like effect ever the shoulders with floating sash ends falling from the bust to the feet. The model for this graceful pattern is the Curzon Jacket that a Parisian lingere evolved for the vicerine to wear in torrid India. Women who are in mourning have their Curzon jackets made of white dotted swiss. with inset edgings of black lace, and the frills that fall from the shoulders leave the arms coolly bare. The . niericaii us Cook. "Should an American girl learn to cook?" This is the subject that con tinues to disturb everybody but the American girl. Writing on it. Walter Desant lately quotes Chauncey Bepew as saying "Greek not Gravy." Sir Walter adds, however, that considering that so many American girls have to cook, he would alter the cry to "Gravy, not Greek." It is doubtful if this question will be settled on the wholesale plan. Why not classify the American girls and then say: "Those that will in any way be mixed up with cooking, either as cooks or mistresses of cooks, ought to study the subject as hard as thev would study Greek." A Tret I v eck Dre ss. One of the. most diiiicult problems that many women have to deal with, is that of keeping themselves looking well in the morning. The trouble with many house gowns and dressing jackets of the non-pretentious kind is that they are not becoming around the neck. To remedy this a new and pretty idea is to cut a piece of muslin about the fize of a bandana handkerchief, and finish it at the edge with a narrow rufflle. Fold it diagonally, tie around the neck, leaving a little V-shaped open front, and then tie again. This will leave a knot, and the ends stlckir- out, which makes r. simple bi't dainty finish. Fad in Kinhroidcrj . Hand decorations will play a dainty part In the wardrobe this year. A pretty fad in handkerchiefs is to buy tliem with colored borders, then trace the name in pencil, and etch it in linen or silk to match the edge. A more striking whim of fashion, though, is the embroidering of monograms on gloves. The best way is to have the gloves made to order, with the back stitching left off; the monogram is then placed In the center at the back of the hand. A New Decoration. A new feature of decoration Is lacing with fine silk cord over a contrasting color. Narrow openings up and down the bodice are laced across with cord cither matching the gown in color or iu some paler shade of the same color.

A SUMMER

One pretty model in pale gray aim's veiling has a cream bice yoke laced to the lower portion of the bodice with pink silk, and over a deeper shade of pink silk. The opening forms the straight yoke into a point in front, and the effect is very pretty. Lacings trim the sleeves very effectively, too, and some of the overdresses have lacing around the hips. A S vmplmii v in llltie. The prettiest new colors this season are brick red, pearl blue and olive white. They come in cashmere, henrietta and velvet, but are seldom seen in other materials. Brick red looks precisely like what it is intended to represent brick. It U a steady, modest red and the nearest idea that your correspondent can suggest, beside a brick, is the color of cayenne pepper. Pearl blue is also a pretty shade, rather changeable in velvet. It is a little darker than electric light blue, but lighter than turquoise. Olive white is a dull, greenish white, resembling closely the sediments which gather in sulphur water. At an afternoon reception a few days ago there was worn a toilet of pearl blue Henrietta made very tastefully. The skirt, made with the usual close fitting hips and flare around the foot, was quite cut cf the ordinary in trimming. At the side front seam there was a band of black satin headed by an applique trimming also of black. The waist fitted faultlessly and buttoned at the side. White embroidered silk was used for the yoke, which was made over a shirred vest of cashmere. An outline of black satin and the applique design finished the yoke and extended down the front. The sleeves were small and the collar a high one. A jabot of blue silk concealed the opening of the bodice. Helen GreyPage. Indulged by KngllNh Women. Just now, long walks are a fad in England, and the Princess of Walc3 is one of its devotees, which, of course Insures Its popularity. It is an excellent idea, for no one exercise is considered so beneficial to the entire body as walking. Of course, the head should

be held erect, the shoulders thrown back, and the breathing unrestrained. The 'rest cure" is another craze with London society women. This consists in going away for a fortnight to some quiet place where there is plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and then simply vegetating. Thc Automobile. It is surprising to note, sometimes, iiow much faster Europeans rush some things than do Americans. For instante, the automobile, which is only occasionally seen even in New York, is so popular at Nice that "driving" them is one of the fads of the place. Even though the air is warm there, furs and top boots are worn, for when they are driven at a great pace, as in the popular races, the rush of cold air and the dust make heavy clothing necessary. Speaking on the subject of the women that are scn speeding these odd-looking racers, an English witness says: "Ladies do not look well on automobiles if they are. going at more than twice a brougham pace. A mar. may look businesslike when he is dirty, but you do not want ladies to look businesslike. You want them to look restful and refined and sweet and fresh." 151 t to DrcsK Kcfnrm. Dress reformers and physical culturists were jubilant over their success in tea thing New York women the healthf ulness of short skirts and heavy shoes, when in stepped Dame Fashion and upset all their well-laid plans. This arbitrary rule declares that short skirts must go and in their place must come long, clinging affairs, trailing on the streets beh'nd the wearers and sweeping up all stray microbes and germs. The newest gown for spring wear i? the Piincess, and this not only means that the wearer must sweep up the Itrert-. 1 ".t s'- must aNo don a long, heavily boned corset, which is in real it y only an instrument of torture.

The partially fitted empire, covlace and edged at the foot Here is of cream front is a ered with with plisses of silk over which tho hue ' falls in graceful points. The gown ii plain in the back, sweeping the ground in a long train. A black velvet girdle circles the waist behind and is brought high on the bust in front and finished with a large flat bow. The sleeves open from shoulder to elbow, and are caught together with straps of black velvet. There is a high gored collar of lace. Marie I;i!ikirls rT. An interesting phase of the character of Marie Hashkirtseff was her incapacity to fall in love, even though she was a very lively young woman. It is said that at one time, when twe young and wealthy suitors presented themselves, she wrote to her father fot advice, saying that both were the same to her. Doubtless her great intellectuality, il in the cases of inany other famous women, kept her hoart so fai In the background that it was Invulnerable to attacks. This may be diagnosed as one kind of heart failure

nail Hearing on the Farm. It Is probably a safe prediction that ill manufacturers of harvesting machinery will eventually adopt ball bearings wherever it is possible to use them. In 1 SO 1 the Heering Harvester Company of Chicago equipped all their machines with ball and roller bearings, and the great popularity of the Idea led other manufacturers to experiment with several styles of roller bearings, hoping to apply them to their machine, without appearing to imitate the originators too closely. The application cf ball bearings is more costly, but popular demand will yet force all competitors to follow the" lead of tho Deering Company.

Dancing. The d'Egvillc-s of Iyondon have taught dancing sine th"- days of George III. The present su.-vior declares that dancing among tlia upper classes has degenerated into r. vulgar romp. His principle work now is teaching young woir.cn how to walk, how to enter a room, and to coach them for presentation at court. In tlie Same Ocneral Direction.
