M ' nr^A-.. # t k gj w ■ G^|^^’‘Ol iv\oivJ ^leck CHAPTER Xll -Conti >ue<L Off Montauk Point it was discovered that one of the middle chains was broken, and the better to repair it Fail was taken in, and the Wanderer canto to anchor. Capt. Denham and every man on board the ship, with the exception of Fox and Frenauld. believed that the break in the middle chain was the result of accident. ( apt. Fox and his Lieutenant arranged the accident in advance, and they even knew the point where it was to happen. -» “'Er 3' Wanderer needs overhauling, and I hope to be able to do so in New York,” said ’Capt. Fox, coming down to the cabin where Balph Denham was reading-. “How long will the break detain jou?” asked Ralph, who was naturally anxious to report in advance of the time named in. the Governor’s order. “It is worse than I at first supposed, i but we shall bo under way again early! in the afternoon. The only way is to ■ have patience." “Patience is very essential to the , sailor. But this is not a bad place to ■ be imprisoned h r a few extra hours,” said Ralph, looking a Imi ingly about the luxurious cabin. "Consider it all yours, my dear Capt. i Denham. We shall have dinner in an hour, and if you feel like turning in after that, Don,” nodding in the direction of the bright-looking cabin boy, “will sliow you to your cabin: by the i way, it was occupied for a week by an Indian princess, the daughter of the ; King of (hide.” “That certainly will not be an objec- i tion,” laughed Ralph, his thoughts going back to his own beautiful princess, to whom, he felt very confident, al! the rest of the world could not produce an ; equal. It was the custom in this era, on land and sea, when the elements permitted, to dine at high noon. Promptly at 12, Don camo to announce dinner. It was served in another cabin, with plates for three. At the fete given on board the Wan- ■ derer. Ralph Denham was amazed at the lavish display of costly plate, and i the extravagant libations of rare wines. He then supposed that this was the grand effort of a great occasion; considerable then was Iris surprise at finding the cab n table as richly set as at the fete, while the dinner itself was such as the Governor of the province could not duplicate with all the re- i sources of the city at his command. “I am afraid,” said Ralph Denham, ! when he. Fox and Frenauld were seated I at the board, that if I were to remain long with you, that 1 should be wholly unfitted for service on board a ship where the officers were forced to de- , pend on their rations for subsistence, and their own small pay for luxuries. ’’ “You would soon get used to it, and lire it,” said Captain Fox, refilling Ralph Denham’s glass from a flagon, of which neither he nor Frenauld tasted. . “A sailor’s life, at the best, is one of ! danger and privat on, and my motto is ! to make the best of it. Thanks to my ancestors, I have a large estate in England, and the question with me, when I first got command of a ship, I was, ‘shall I let that property go on accumulating on shore till I retire, and a n too old to enjoy it, or shall I spend ; a goodly portion of it for the enjoyment of myself and shipmates?’ I de ided ; on the latter course, and so far I have ' no reason to regret it.” “You hive, no doubt, acted wisely, • but had I been in your place,” said j Ralph, “I think I should have dreaded [ to make the experiment.” “Why so?” "Luxury would demoralize me, perhaps because I am not used to it; and then my men, who are provincials, and, i outside of duty, think themselves just i as good as I am, would grow l unless I shared with them. ” “My men have their share of the Cap- i tain’s good things. If the authorities I know of it, of course there would be no j end of trouble, and they would accuse ! me of injuring the service; but whenever the time comes for hard work, in • storm or battle, my men are not found wanting.” “They certainly behaved admirably ! well while in Sag Harbor,” said Ralph; j and he uttered no compliment, for the crew of the Wanderer, though as fierce i a looking lot of desperadoes as ever put foot on shore, behaved themselves in a way that excited the admiration of the settlers. This was the re.-ult of the strictest discipline and constant watching. There | was not a sailor on the Wanderer who did not understand the true character f his ship, and who did not appreciate . for caution. And then, had one of them broken the rules, j that were kept in their minds im ruing, I noon, and night, he well knew that the | penalty would have been chains and the । lash, and for the second offense death. “When it can be done with safety to | the ship and without dishonor to the ! service, 1 relax and let the men go i ashore and get rid of their excess of j spirits. They are devils here, sure I enough, but they come on board thor- | oughly exhauste I and as tractable as tamo lambs. Try a little more of this wine, Captain Denham. I will guaran- I tee that there is not a headache in a 1 -cargo of it,” said Fox, again raising the ! particular flagon. “But I am not accustomed to wine,” replied Ralph, who did not like it; neither did he wish to appear indifferent to the conspicuous kindness of his host. “You cannot cultivate the taste for this particular brand, I am sorry to say, for I don’t think there are ten gallons of it in this hemisphere. There, one more glass will not affect you, unless, indeed, it makes you feel sleepy, and if it should, I. promise you that you will rise refreshed, and there is your cabin,” said Fox, pointing to an open door. Before Ralph could refuse a second time, Frenauld reached out his glass, and said:

“I drink to you, Capt. Denham.” As it would have been a discourtesy to refuse the pledge thus offered, Ralph Denham raised his glass, bowed to Frenauld, and then drank down the delicious contents. Dinner over, Ralph felt exhilarated. He went on deck, and it seemed to him that he was walking on air. Ho felt very happy, and inclined io laugh at every little incident that ordinarily would not have a. traded hie notice. Ho realized that ho w. s in danger of making himself ridiculous so ho made his way—it seemed to him ho was floating—to the cabin. “Would you like to lie down, sir?” asked Don, the cab n boy, opening tho door of a splendidly furnished apartment, which, to tho excited imagination of Ralph, appeared to be one of more than Oriental magnificence. “Yes; I will, though I do not feel sleepy. That was rare wine, boy. that you served me at dinner,” said Ralph, nodding and laughing, yet fully aware that he had said nothing provocative of hilarity. "It sometimes makes one sleepy,” said Don, taking the < aptain’s coat and prep iring to remove his pumps. " \ ery well; lot mo rest for a short time. If I sho. Id go to sleep, which I rarely do in tho daytime, wake mo in an 1 our or so.” Ralph Denham threw himself on the luxurious couch, ami as Don closed tho j door there was an expression of minged I pity and admiration on his face. I Captain Denham, though fully aware - that the ship was :r anchor in a calm I sea, felt that he was being rocked and swayed by gentle, invisible hands. Through the open port-hole that admitted light and air to his room, he heard the splash of the rippling water against the -hip, but it was transformed into music, more soothing than was ever blown from the shell of a triton or fell from the s ductivo but treacherous lip. of the fabled mermaid. The music an I the swinging kept on till tho cabin expanded into a gorgeous arcade, down which he floated to music of increasing rapture, while maidens of exquisite form, with golden tresses that shimmered in the rosy light, beckoned him on, and Lea Hedges led them; he could not be mistaken in the cornelian lips and teeth of pearl. What ca e l he now for earth? Ho was in an elysium more relined and glorious than Mahomet promised to his faithful followers. * Tho earth had -ank beneath him; it had rolled up like a vesture and passed away, and he had become a part of that illimitable space, about which ho ha 1 often thought, and the new life ot; which he had enter, d was bounded by eternity. “Is he aslee ,?” asked I renauld, coming into the cabin on tiptoe about the middle of the afternoon, am! addressing Don, who had I ordered to remain in attendance on Captain Denham. "Yes, sir, dead asleep. ' was the reply, "Then, ’ sad Frenauld, "goon deck and tell the captain to e ne down. ' CltllTl K MV. captain rox imi iiutixaxt mi:x m m> Cl 1 Till 1H Hl V s TOI,I T.1E.1. "Asleep, did you say said Captain Fox, when he uined Frenauld In th? cabin, ami made sure ; e could not be overheard by the um unscious man in . the next room. "The hasheesh has had its effect,” replied Frenauld, "and ho is indifferent to life as if he were lying down there beside the anchor." "Good; tho point is to keep him in that condition till 1 am leady to m t. ” "That can be easily done. While in that sleep ho will obey. If I were to tell him to get up. oaft and leap overl oard, he would do it. 1 “ But the effect will soon wear off. I had an opportunity to look into tho workings of the drug, as given in that wino, when we were in Bombay; but 1 ha 1 no idea that I would e-er need to employ it. Confound it. I am as wicked as the next man, but I dislike sneaking methods. I’d rather knock a man on the head than drug him to death,” said Fox, as if lie felt that he wa? saying something rather commenda 1 le. “That is a matter of taste; I look at the end rather than the means. If yon desire to carry out Colonel Graham’s plan we could toss him into the sea through an open port to-nignt, and that would be the last of it.” "But, Frenauld, I told you that Ido not intend carrying out Colonel Graham's plan. You tn >w the whole story of my first interest in Denham? "Yes; when he was a little boy and his father was drowned you -avi d him, and, with the uncle, took him off to another Long Island. Oh, 1 could sit down and tell you all from A to izzard, or put it all down in the log as straight as one of them lawyer sharks.” "Yes; well, my heart was tender then —it's tough enough now,” said Fox, with a laugh that told he felt no sense of degradation at the change in his feelings. . "Then it is not a feeling of humanity that leads you to save his life?” "Did I say I was going to save his life? ” “I so understood you.” "I told you, Frenauld, that I would save him until I had drained Graham of his last ducat, or exhausted his last vestige of power.” “You don’t like th old Colonel?" “Fudge, Frenauld, you know with us i it is not a matter of like or hate, but of . success. We want to win, and when we | are rich enough to retire, we can sink ! the ship and go home to England, and live in luxury and all the glory that ! wealth brings, to the end of our days,” I and Fox’s blue eyes flashed at the pic- ■ ture he had conjured up. "But if you carried out Graham’s ; wish and got rid of this fellow,” Frenauld nodded towards the room in which ; Captain Denham was sleeping, “don’t ! you think you would make him more se--1 curely your friend?” | “My friend?" “Yes, he has the power.” “I know he has, but he never has and ; never will use his power, or his wealth, from a sense of friendship. If Graham were sure that Ralph Denham was dead I now, he would hasten to give warning i that I was a pirate in these seas, and I he would exhaust every power to destroy me.” “He does not like you, then?” “Men never like men they cannot trust, and we can never trust our partners in crime. I see, Frenauld, you look as if you thought this remark had a decided personal bearing, and I confußS it has. Now, what keeps the offi-

cers and crew of this ship together, a * closely as if they were bound by' thd strongest ties in the world?” “Interest, Captain.” “There you have it. It is all interest all self. Now, take away the hope gnl n which is the in I erest, or let a greater gain be held out to thyse who would betray or turn queen's evidence and every man and officer in the shin would be breaking his neck in order to bo the first to reap the reward, and insure himself the safety of the law [ have looked into the question from all sides, and I have come to the conclusion that it is self-interest that rules the world. I know my knowlt dge of this । fact enables me to rule this ship ’’ “I think you are right,” said Frenauld. “There is no doubt a’ out It.” “But if Denham were dead and Colonel Ginlinm betrayed you, could you ! not. then retaliate by telling nil ab out ' the murder of his I rother ami the ab- ' d iction of hi a nephew?” “I could d<> so, but il would n it save me. It is tho first mcee^s ul blow that tells in a fight. A pirate in chains make i but an indifferent accus-r of the man who bringi him to justice. The accusations of incarcerate I criminals have but little power to defame a ?haruutor. ” "But as Ralph Denham, as he is called, is believed to bo dead, 1 cannot seo how his existence comes into the case at all," said Frenauld, who, though a man of large intelligence, had non Jhe intellectual gra-p to seize his superior ” plans, or tho penetration necee^Hr^ 0 seo through them. “His being alive or dea I forms iBPr * tant factors in tho ease.

I doubt if I ho could got any one, even among tho ! pea -ants of his estates, to marry him." ! “i ould you not make more money by communicating witn the lady ” “No; an I then a man who was privy to j her husband's d ath would not be apt j to find continue 1 favor in her sight, • even if he r stored to her her .- n Now, ■ ns to Ralph Denham living or dead: let ' me say that with him alive I could prove । m> case b yon I all disput •, for not only s his old i u so Dinah alive, but he is | as like his iath< r, ns 1 remember him, ! as it is possible to । onceive,” "That is nn import mt point.” "A very important point, I renauld.” "But when you have aecompH-he I ; yo,r purposi , what is to bo Denham's ■ fate?” I will leave him in the hands of the I Indian.

Closing tho door again, he came hack xvitb a pleased exprc'-.on on his face, | I and said: “ He sleeps like a child.” "And I will sle w you how to keep him asleep." Ah ye .

Now, let me give you instructions. ” Suddenly I’ox’s manner changed from that of .in equal te that oi a superior, giving an order which he t xpeeted to have implicitly obeyed. "Get together whatever food and ; । lothing you will need for five days, for ; youisolf and two men, waom you can ; select from among the crew.

In the meantime, you can spend your time examining the coast, with a view to secreting the greater part of the treasure now on board.” "1 understand, sir,” said Frenauld, who rose to his feet, and stood, while the captain gave his order; “but permit me to ask how 1 am to know of your return?” "Should I come Lack by day. you can see the ship. Should I return by night, keep a fire burning at tho same point, and I will come ashore to you in tne gig." ' And bring him, sir? Frenauld jerked his thumß in the direction ot Ralph i Denham. “Yes. if I ' an keep him alive on your | prescription. ” "Follow it out, sir, according to direc- । tions, and you can’t fail,” replied Frenauld. pro be cosinnnsDj He sold Both Pills and Public, A well-dressed man, leaning against a lamp-post, apparently sleeping the : sleep of the just, created a deal of interest in a busy London street the other , ' day. He sat upon a box which- dm , i - et' med to ha? o been carrying; evident- 1 ly being suddenly overcome witli drixvsiuess, he had placed it on the curb- 1 stone, and sitting down upon it, tell asleep. To those who succeeded in getting : near enough to the man, his gentle, restful snore dispelled the fear that he might be dead. The side of the face was exposed, and portrayed no sign of intoxication. It was the judgment of everyone that ho xvas sober, in good health, and simply taking a quiet snooze. I When the crowd became so dense as to I threaten a blockade, the supposed i ! sleeper suddenly jumped to his feet, , mounted his box, and flourishing a ■ c niplo of bottles over his head, exclaimed: "Now, gents, seein’ that you are all hero, I rise to a question of privilege; and, after thankin’ you for this most cordial reception, xvhich I assure you will long remain upon tho tablets of my memory, I wish to call your attention to ‘ my world-renowned Paradise Pills," and soon in tho usual stylo.

reception of their children. Even Midway Plaisance, that strip about which people out-ide of Chicago know so litvle, will be ready. In one day the visitor may wander or ride, as he may be prepared, along this great highway and see how the people of countries which the tourist seldom visits live and dress. So much has been written and said about this Columbian Exposition that those who are under its walls scarce realize that the time is almost at hand for the penetralia of its wonders to open. On the eve of the opening of the gates at Jackson l ark a thousand benedictions will fall, and from the altars of the world there will ascend the incense of thanksgiving that the work about which the rations of the earth will assemble in confraternity is completed, for the day before the opening of the World’s Columbian Exposition will be Sunday. The Plain Truth. An impression seems to prevail in some quarters that the Columbian Exposition is to be cut up in some way into sections, and that the fifty cent entrance fee will hardly do more than admit the visitor to the vestiblue. The truth is, on the contrary, jhat that one entrance fee will'give the visitor free access to every building erected by the Exposition Company, and to all the State and foreign buildings, including all their exhibits. Every exhibit proper may be seen without any further entrance fee. The false impression in question is due to the fact that there will be some side shows, some of them in Jackson Park, some in Midway Plaisance, and some elsewhere. Those in Jackson Park ana Midway Plaisance are under the supervision of the exposition management, and a certain per cent, of their receipts will go to the management. Os course the World’s Fair Company has no control of what may be erected and

maintained outside of tAeir own grounds I If some circus company should estabtent alongside the Manitoba ’ Building, and there is plenty of vacant ; space for it, tho AYorld’s Fair would j none the less bo open in full on the 1 payment of fifty cents. The best of i “THE CIDER PRESS.” SCfDPTOR CLARKE’S ' EXHIBIT. tho side-shows will boos very small I importance as compared with what will ; , be shown in anv one of the regular Ex- I position buildings. Not only will every requisite of health I and comfort be provided without cost to

the visitor, but the management has gone so far as to sterilize tho drinking water, a sanitary precaution of great i importance to th health of visitors. Again, the women of Chicago have organized a creche, where mothers may leave their infants in charge of competent nurses while they explore the treasures and curiosities of the build- | mgs. The youngsters will be provided ' with toys and games for their amusement; hammocks and cotu will be furnished m which they may swing or sleep when tired of romping; good food will be provided for them; for these ' services a very trifling charge, not yet J determined, will be made. But chil- 1 dren ace dentally separated from their [ arents and temporarily lost on the grounds will be conveyed to the creche and cared for and fed without charge until claimed. As to charges outside of the grounds, let it l e clearly understood that tho best hotels hare said plainly that they will not charge more than their usual prices, and the hotels of lesser magnitude will be compelled to do likewise. Chicago is full of enterprising people, and really enterprising people know that extortion ruins enterprise. There will bo millions of visitors to Chicago during the exposition season, and for that very reason there will be fierce competition for their custom. There are now hundreds of restaurants in this city at which a satisfying meal can be 1 uri based for from 15 to 25 cents, and the number of such places will be greatly increased during the year. The scramble for the patronage of visitors of mo derate means will be furious. It is quite possible that the prices of the restaurants that eater for the people of small incomes will be reduced by reason

■ of excessive competition, and it is ceri tain that they will not be increased. Admission Tickets. Three hundred and seventy-five thou- ' sand tickets of admission to the Exposi--1 tion have arrived and have been placed 1 on sale down town. As already published the engrave 1 entrance cards will be handled in the principal hotels, at the Randolph street anil Van Buren ' i street stations of the Illinois Central 1 | and at the Exposition Treasurer’s office, ’। in the Rand-McNally building. Fifty I cents is the price of a ticket, and the installment just received will be good c - 'jJ :| BIG STONES FROM WISCONSIN. ! , at any time from the date of purchase i until the close of the Fair. A good > many Chicago merchants have placed advance orders for tickets with Horace » Tucker, superintendent of admissions, i who is sanguine enough to estimate a • revenue of more than $1,000,000 from tickets before the gates open. His es- • timate is re-enforced by a surprisingly ’ large number of inquiries from souvenir i collectors who wish to purchase specii men tickets of every series issued.

Make Haste to Defend Yourself If yon live in a locality where malaria is prevelent, with a preventive that experience indicates as the most reliable of medical safeguards—Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Entirely free from the objections—and they are valid ones—which attach to the mineral alkaloid quinine, it is far more effective, and its effects are not evanescent, but lasting, unlike those of the drug. There are portions of our land—and none more beautiful and more fertile—which at no season of the year are entirely exempt from the malarial scourge. In such regions Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters has undergone a continuous "test for the past forty years, with results which have established Its reputation beyend all cavil as a special defense against every form of malarial disease. For biliousness, also, it is an acknowledged specific. and it is a potent remedy for constipation, dyspepsia, rheumatism and an impoverished condition of the blood.
