Denham and every man on ^^Pvd the ship, with the exception of Fox 'and~Fr"enauld. believed that the break in the middle chain was the re suit of accident. I Capt. Fox and his Lieutenant arranged I the accident in advance, and they even knew thepoint where it was to happen. |B "The wanderer needs overhauling, wad I hope to be able to do so in New SHffnrk." said Cant. Fox. cominc down tc fthe cabin where Palph Denham was reading. "How4oi>?will the break detain you?" B at>&ed Ralph, who was naturally anzK lous to report In advance of the time named In the Governor's order. W "It is worse than I at first supposed, I but we shall be under way again early I in the afternoon. The only way is to I have patience." f "Patienoe Is very essential to the sailor. But this is not a bad place to be imprisoned for a few extra hours," Bald Ralph, looking admiringly about the luxurious cabin. "Consider it all yours, my dear Capt 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 show you t?> your cabin; by the way, it was occupied for a week by an Indian princess, the daughter of the Jting of Oude." "That certainly -will not be an objection," laughed .Ralph, his thoughts going back to his own beautifui princess, to whom, he felt very confident, all the rest of the world could not produce an equaL It was the custom in this era, on land v and sea, when the elements permitted, to dine at high noon. Promptly at 12, Don came to anlounce dinner. It was served in anther cafcin, with plates for three. At the fete given on board the Wan.^ierer, Ralph Denham was amazed at .the lavish display of costly plate, and / the extravagant iiDatlons ox rare wines. He then' 6Upppeed that this was the grand effort, of great occasion; con^ Biderable then was his Burori&e at flndMpg the cab'n table as richly set as at ^Hne fete, while the dinner itself was HKuch as the Governor of the province w could not duplicate with all the rer sources of the oity at his command. \ "I. am afraid," said Ralph Denham, ' when he, Fox and Frenauld were seat d at the board, that if I were to remain fctt^yjAhyou, that I should be wholly gBgraBaa^kr service on board a.ship officers were forced to degHH^^on their rations for subsistence, mPRT their own small pay for luxuk "You would soon-get u6ed to it, and t like it," eaid Captain Fox, refilling &A^ph DenUam's glass from a fiagon, of mHich neither he nor Frenauld tasted. ?QH sailor's life, at the best, is one of HKnger and privation, and my motto is make the beat of it. Thanks to mv IgBcestors, I have a large estate in HHtgland, and the question with me, when I first got command of a ship, W was, 'elia.Il I let that property go on B accumulating on shore till I retire, and am too old to enjoy it, or shall I spend a goodly portion ol it for the enjoyment of myself and shipmates?' I decided 1 on the latter course, and so far I have r no reason to regret it." s "You hive, no doubt, acted wisely, I but had I been- in your place," said I Balph, "I think I should have dreaded | -to make the experiment." "Why so?" I "Luxury would demoralize me, per19 because I am not used to it; and ygy meu, who are provincials, and, of duty, think themselves just ||H as I am, would growl unless I Vwith them." Wf men have their share of the Cap* rs good things. If the authorities w of it, of course there would be no ^of trouble, and they would accuse X?|injuring the service; but whenj^P^r the time comes for hard work, in etorm or battle, my men are not found wanting." & "They certainly behaved admirably ^mrell while In Sag Harbor," said Ralph; Hpd he uttered no compliment, for the IHrew of the Wanderer, though as fierce looking lot of desperadoes as ever put loot on Rhore, behaved themselves in a twavthat excited the admiration of the petti era. ggl This was the result of the strictest JBliscipline and constant watching. There ^Bvas not, a sailor on the Wanderer who jgHid not understand the true charactcr his ship, and who did not appreciate h^E^. great necessity for caution. And had one of them broken the rules, jgSLt were kept in their minds meaning, ^B>on. and night, he well know that the S^fcaalty would have been chains and the IBtHsh, and for the second offense death. MF"When it can be done with safety to Bthe ship and without dishonor to the Wservice, I relax and let tho men go I ashore and get rid of their excess ot ^spirits. They are devils here, sure ^Bnou5?h, but they come on board thorHighly exhausted and as tractable hi Hme iambs. Try a little more of thie g^jine, Captain Denham.

"Yes; I will, though I do not feel sleepy. That was rare wine, boy, thai you served me at dinner," said Ealpto, nodding and laughing, yet fuljy aware that he had said nothing provocative of hilarity. "It sometimes makes one sleepy," said Don, taking the Captain's coat and preparing to remove his pumps. "Very well; let me rest for a 6hort time. If I should go to sleep, which I rarely do in the daytime, wake me in nr SO." Ralph Denham threw himself on the luxurious couch, and as Don closed the door there was an expression of minged pity and admiration on his face. Captain Denham. though fully aware that the ship was at anchor in a calm 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 ship, but it was transformed into music, more soothing than was ever blown from the shell of a triton or fell from the ecductive but treacherous lips of the fabled mermaid. - The music and the swinging kept on till the 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 ?n onH T.on HcHoflo IaH tJiem- ho could not be mistaken in the cornelian lips and teeth of pearL What cared he now lor earth? He wae in an elysium more refined and glorious than Mahomet promised to hie faithful followers. The earth had sank beneath him; it had rolled up like a vesture and passed away, and he had become a part of that illimitable space, about which he had often thought, and the new life on which he had entered was bounded by eternity. "Is he aBleep?" asked Frenauld, coming into the cabin on tiptoe about the middle.of the afternoon, and tiddressint? Don, who had been ordered to remain in attendance on Captain Denhara. > ' "Yes, air, dead asleep," was the reply. "Then," said Frenauld, "goon deck and tell the captain to come down." 4 CHAPTER XIV. ;aptajn rox and lieutenant rB*?iui.d put their heaoe together. " AoIapiv did vou sav?" said C&Dtain Fox, when he joined Frenauld in the :abin. and made sure he could not be overheard by the unconscious man in the next room. "The hasheesh has had its effect," replied Frenauld, "and he is as indifferent to life as if he were lyjng down there beside the anchor." "Good; the point is to keep him in thai condition till I am ready to act" "That can be easily done. While in that sleep he will obey. If I were to tell him to get up, go aft and leap overboard, he would do it." "But the effect will soon wear off. I had an opportunity to look into the workings of the drug, as given in that wine, when we were in Bombay; but 1" bad no idea that I would ever need to emoloy 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 he felt that he was saying something rather commendable. "That is a matter of taste: I look at the end rather than the means. If you desire to carry out Colonel Graham's plan we could toss him into the sea. through an open port to-night, and that would be the last of It" "But, Frenauld, I told you that I do not intend carrying out Colonel Graham's plan. You know the whole story of my first interest in Denham?" "Yes; when he was a little boy and his father was drowned you saved him, and, with the uncle, took him off to another Long Island. Oh, I could sit down and tell you all from A to lzzard, or put it all down in th9 log as straight as one of them lawyer sharks." "Yes; well, my heart was tender then ?it's tough enough now," said Fox, vrith a laugh that told he felt no sense of degradation at the change in liis feelings. "Then it is not a feeling of humanity :hn; leads you to save his life?" " Di.1 I say I was going to save his 111-.?" "T understood you." "I told you, Frenauld, that I would save him until I jhad drained Graham ol his last ducat, or exhausted his last vestige of power." "You don't like the old Colonel?" "Fudge, Frenauld, you know with us it is not a matter of like or hate, but ol success. We want to win, and when vr( are rich enough to retire, we can sinb the ship and <ro home to England, and live in luxury and all the glory thai wealth brings, to the end of our days,' and Fox's blue eyes flashed at the picture he had conjured up. "But if you carried out Graham's wish and got rid of this fellow," Frenauld nodded towards the room in whict Captain Denham was sleeping, "don?'l you think you would make him more securely your friend?" "My friend?" "Yes, he has the power." "I know he has, but he nover has and never will use his power, or his wealth, from a sense of friendship. If Graham were sure that Ralph Denham was dead now, he would hasten to givo warning that 1 was a pirate in these seas, and 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 confess it has. Now. what keeps the offi:ers and crew of this ship iogether, ag closely as if they were bound by the strongest ties in the world?" "Interest, Captain." "There you have it. It i6 all interest, all self. Now, take away the hope fox gain which is the interest, or let a greater gain be neld out to those who would betray or turn queen's evidence, and every man and officer in the ship would be breaking his neck in order to be the first to reap the reward, and insure himself the safety of the law. I have looked into the question from all airloc anH T havft to the COndU Bion that it. is 6elf-interest that rules the world. I know my knowledge of thia fact enables me to rule this ship." "I think you are right," said Frenauld. "There is no doubt about it." "But if Denham were dead ana Colonel Graham betrayed you, could you not then retaliate by telling all about the murder of his brother and the abduction of his nephew?" \ "I could do so. but it would nr?t 6ave me. It is the first successful blow that teils in a fight. A pirate in chains makes but an indifferent accuser of the man who bring3 him to justice. The accusations of incarcerated criminals have but little power to defame a character." ^LButB^Hh^^ham, 'e call t ' m; ?d, is bellev^a to oe aeaa, <i oannot eee how hie existence comes into the case at all," said Frenauld, who, though a mac of large intelligent}#, had not the intellectual grasp to 6eize his superior's plans, or the penetration necessary to Bee through them. "His being alive or dead forms iwpor tant factors in the case. There has long been a belief in England that Colonel Graham is criminally responsible for his brother's death, and there is a very general belief that the ohild was not drowned. Tne mother, a wealthy ! lady in her own right, has never ceased ' her exertions to find her boy. and I am informed by the Colonel that she is now I in the new world prosecuting her search." "Has Graham children?" < "He is not even married. I doubt if he could get any one, even among the peasants of his estates, to marry him." "Could you not make more money by communicating with the lady?" "No; and then a man who was privy to her husband's death would not be apt to find continued favor in h?r sight, even if he restored to her her son. How, as to Ralph Denham living or dead; let me say that with him alive I could prove my case beyond all dispute, for not only is his old nurse, Dinah alive, but he is as like his father, as I remember him, as it is possible to conceive." "That is an important .point" "A very importantpoiet, Frenauld." "But when you have accomplished your purpose, what is to be jGenham's fate?" "I will leave him in the hands of the Indian, .Uncas, who pledges himself to keep him secure and concealed for six months; At the end of that time the, p.liipf will hft mora than readv to slav the man who has provoked his jealousy, and I think I shall be willing, for, as I. believe, he has provoked my jealousy," said the Captain, laughing lightly, and going over and opening the door of the room in waich his victim slept. Closing the door again, he came back with a pleased expression on his face, and said: "He sleeps like a child." "And I will show you how to keep him asleep." "Ah yes, Frenauld, I was going to ask you howthat was done." "I told you that, people in this state obey those who speak to them; all their own will power bein? deadened by tie drug." - "I see." . "Then, you can see, it is an easy matter to feed him, and keep him in that condition as Jong as you please." "So it is.' Now, let me give you instructions." Suddenly Fox's manner changed from that of an equal to that oi a superior, giving an oTder which he expected to have implicitly obeyed. "Get together whatever food and clothing you will need for five days, for yourself and two men, whom you can select from among the craw. To-night, when I see a signal fire burning this side of the beacon hill, on Montauk Headland, l wiu eena you neuore. mcas will not join you till to-morrow night, but he will send a messenger, and for this messenger I will give you a . note that will announce to the chief your arrlvaL 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." "I understand, sir," said Frenauld, who rose to bis fefct, and stood, while the captain gave bis order; "but permit I me to aak how I am to know ol your return?" "Should I come back by day, you can Bee the ship. Should I return by night, keep a fire burning at the same point, and I will come ashore to you in the gig-" "And bring him, sir?" Frenauld jerked his thumb in 'the direction of Ralph I Denham. "Yes. if I can keep him alive on your prescription." "Follow It out, sir, according to directions, and you can't fail," replied Frenauld. / ^nw?rTier*PTY i A Prairies In Manitoba. "If the horse could stand it," said S. A. Rowbothan, a well-known resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, to a Washington Star reporter, "a man j could leave Winnipeg and ride 1,000 miles west and northwest over a level prairie before he would be obstructed by mountains. This gives an idea of the great territory lying west of Winnipeg, which, to the Eastern man, ! seems way out of the world. The soil of this prairie produces the finest spring Wheat grown anywhere and this enormous plain I've just mentioned will in a few years be the great granary of the world. ,Eastern people have a misty idea of our expansive Wa oi?n nnmrr<Anpinff I 1>ci i j 1>w1 j. ? c cuv/ jucy wiiiiuvmvm^ to grow wheat compared to a decado hence, though our crop two years ago was 30,000,000 bushels. We have but little snow, and the many years I resided in Manitoba I. never saw the 'tops of the bright prairie grass covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat and we are becoming.a great cattle country. While most of our settlers a're from across the water, yet the number from the Western States is yearly increasing. We have no wild westfrontier scenes. There are no settlers killed over disputed claims, as has been an everyday story in the West for years. Our homestead laws require a three years' residence of six months each.

In 1846 Dr. J. C.

SUNDAY'S DISCOCH8R BY THE & NOTED DIVINE. * . i l Subject: "The Mask of Deceit" ' i *' ' I Test: "Why feigp.eat thou thyself tobe an| other?"?I Kings xiv., 6. e0 In tho palace of wicked Jeroboam there Is ? a sick ohild?a very sick child. Medicines have failed; skill is exhausted. Young Abiime jan, the prince, has lived long enough to be>wn oome very popular, and yet he must die unlQe less some supernatural aid be afforded. ' Death comee up the broadstairso? th-? palace pig and swings back the door of the slokroom of ana royalty and stands looking at the dying it- prince with the dart uplifted. Wicked Jeroboam knows that he has no right to askanything of ithe Lord in the way of kindneSB. iter He knows that his prayers would not be answered, and so he sends his wife on the deling. cate and tender mission to the prophet of 5 the Lord in Shiloh. Putting aside her royal ft ftttlre. she puts on the garb of a peasant wo'lth man and starts on the road. Instead of oarfat rylng gold and gems as she might have car bie ried from the palace she carries only those gifts which seem to wdioatetbat she belongs to the peasantry?a few loaves of bread and aed a few cracknels and a cruse of honey. Yon* it der she goes, hooded and veiied. the greatest lady in all the kingdom, yet passing Uhob, * served. No one that meets her on the high>lor way has any idea that she Is the first lady in ter. &U the land. She is a queen in disguise. . _ j The fact is that Peter the Great working in the dry docks of8aardam,tfae sailor's hat iiiat and the shipwright's ax gave him no more the thorough disguise than the garb of the peasor]j ant woman gave to the queen of Tlrfcah. Bat the prophet of the Lord saw-the deceit Alei' though his physical eyesight had failed. he on was divinely illumined, and at one glance fht, looked through the imposition, and he orled jia. out: "Oome in, thou wife of Jeroboam! Why feign est thou thyself to be another? I have evil lldlnffa for thee, flat thee hAek to ftav house, and when thy feet toaoh the gate of the city the child shall die." She had a right to ask for the recovery of her boo; she had 'try no right to practice an imposition. Broken ear hearted now, she started on the way. the . n<3 tears falling on the dost of the road all the way from Shiloh to Tirzah. Broken B&y hearted now, she Is not oarefal any more to or hide her queenly gait and manner. Tree to fjje the prophecy, the moment her feet tonoh the gate of the elty the child dies. As she goes ivae jn the Bool of the child goes out The cry in the the city palace is joined by the lamentation and of a nation, and as they carry good Abljah ue to his grave the air is filled,with the voice of eulogy for the departed youth and tho groan SO of an afflicted kingdom.and It is for no insignificant purpose that I pro ie sent yoothe thrilling story of the text In . the first place I leam that wickedness in3 01 volves others, trying to makethem its dupes, its allies and its scaDetroats. Jeroboam oro am- posed to hoodwink the Lord's prophet How __A did he do it? Did he go and do the work himself? No. Ho sent his wife to do it. una Here the peril of exposure, hers the fatigue i at of tize way, hers the exeoution of the plot, ]0^ his,nothing. Iniquity is a brag,but it is a great oo ward. It lays the plan and gets some one else to execute it; puts down the gunpowder nly train and gets some one else to touch it off; feet ooDtrivee mischief and gets some one else to i.vQ work it; starts a lie and gets some one else to , circulate it. In nearly all the great crimes 'as. of the world It is found out that those who nty planned the arson, the murder, the theft, the or fraud go free, while those who were decoyed and cheated and hoodwinked into tne oon1 a splracy clank -the chain and mount the gal-r the lowa, be Aaron Burr, with heart filled with impurat) ity and ambition, plots for the overthrow of ."f the United States Government and gets off rilu with a few threats and a little censure, while wer Biennorhassett. the learned Blennerhassett, ii be sweet tempered Blennerhaasett, Is desed ??yed by from the orchards and the . laboratories and the gardens and the home air on the banks of the Onio River, and his foriok tunes are scattered, and he is thrown into om prison, and bis family, brought np in lax* , ury, is turned ont to die. Abominable Aaron De Burr has it comparatively easy. Sweet tem-j pered Blennerhassett has it hard. Benedict pen Arnold proposed to sell out the forts of the il. United Btateeito surrender the Revolutionary . army and to destroy the United States rtev18 ernment. He gets off with his pockets fall his of pounds sterling, while Major Andre, the rer. brave and the brilliant, is decoyed \ato the conspiracy and suffers on the gibbet on the }eP banks of. the Hudson^ so that even the ?68 literature?the marble tabl&ture that corned. inemorated that event?has been blasted by . .jg, midnight desperadoes. Benedict Arnold has ' it easy. Major Andre has It hard. I have 10?* noticed that nine-tenthB of those who suffer led for crimes are merely the satellites of some m arreat villains. Ignominious fraud is 'a jaffgier which by sleight of hand and leger,8 domain makes the gold that it stole appear low in somebody else's pocket. Jeroboam plots ety the lie, contrives the imposition^ and gets itiq his wile to execute It. Stand on irom an . imposition and chicanery. Do not consent r 9 to be anybody's dupe, anybody's ally In ' l'} wickedness, anybody's scapegoat, be The story of the text also impresses me x with the fact that royalty sometimes passes !: In disguise. The Irook, the veil, the hood of md the peasant woman hid th? queenly oharinc acter of this woman of Tirzah. Nobody suspected that Bhe was a queen or a princess as she patsed by, but she was Just as much a queen as though she stood in the.palace, her ter robes inorusted witb diamonds. And so all around about us there are princesses and 01 queens whom the world doee not recognize, i a They sit on no throne of royalty, they ride wae In no cbariot, they elieit no hnzza, they make no pretense, but by the grace of God ljQe they are princesses and they are queens; fire sometimes in their poverty, sometimes in 1 a their self-denial, sometimes in their hard for struggles of Christian service?God knows ,, they are queens. The world does not reoogtne nizethem. and , Royalty passing in disguise, kings without the crown, conquerors without the. palm, x empresses without the jewel. You saw her j yesterday on the street. You saw nothing ?uu important in ner appearance, out sne is l a regnant over a vaat realm of virture and eer goodness?a realm vaster than Jeroboam , ever looked at. You went down Into the ne house of destitution and want and suffering, hes You saw the story of trial written on fhe ee- wasted hand of the mother, on the pale 0(j ' cheeks of the children, on the empty bread , tray, on the flreless hearth, on the broken >a"i ohair. You would not have given a dollar to for all the furniture in the bouse. But by the grace of God she is a princess. The overseers of the poor come there and discuss the cause and say, "It's a pauper." They pe do not realize that Qod has burnished for lol. her a crown, and that after she has got it, - through the fatiguing journey from Tirzah ? to Shilolf and from Shiloh back to, Tirzah )ut there will be a t Drone of royalty on which He ehe shall rest forever. Glory veiled. Afhe fluence hidden. Eternal raptures hushed up. A queen In mask. A princess in disguise. UP When you think of a queen you do not the think of Catherine of Russia, or Maria lass Theresa of Germany, or Mary, queen of Scots. When you think of a queen, you think of a plain woman who sat opposite he your father at the table or walked with him the down the path of life arm in arm, sometimes lass t0 ,he Tnanksglving banquet, sometimes to the grave, but always side by side, soothing r eBi your little sorrows and adjusting your little aral quarrels, listening to your evening prayer, iing toiling with the needle or at the spinning rait wlieel>1111(1 on colcl nights tucking you up ... , snug nnd warm. And then on that dark dny aia when she lay a-dying, putting those thin 'ore hands that had toiled for you so long, put . ting them together in a dying prayer com mending you to that God in whom sne naa taught you to trust. Oh, she was the queen, Bhe was the queenl You cannot think of her now without haviDg the deepest emotions of your soul stirred, and you feel as if you . oould cry as thougn you were now sitting in lQly infancy on her lap, and if you call her baek lav- to speak your name with thetenderness with f its 9he 0006 spoke you would be willing now to throw yourself on the sod that oovers 096 her grave, crying. ' Mother, mother!" \h, to a she was the queen! Your father knew it. ime You knew it. 8he was the queen, but the t queen in disguise. Tne world did not recognize It. noe But there was a grander disguising. The sek- favorite of a great house looked out of the the window of His palace, and He saw that the people were carrying heavy burdens, afnd 1D* that some of them were hobbling on ng- orutehes, and He saw some lying nt the gate jrm exhibiting their sores, and then He heard uv. their lamentations, and He said: "I will just , put on the clothes of those poor people, and ol5' 1 will go down and see what their sorrows ven are, and I will sympathize with them, and I is a will be one of tnem, and I will help them." Well, the day came for Him to start. .The i ' lords of the land came to see Him off. All 100, who could sing joined in the parting song, HBi Vbleh shook tbe hills and woke optbe a&e^BHH h^rds.
