It is true this vessed was ravaged by cholera, and the crew died; but the bodies have been flung over board—Captain Carlyle risked his life to do that before he asked us aboard. Now there is no danger so long as we remain on deck. I have no fear.” The Swede shook his head, grum bling something, but before the revolt could spread Watkins broke in. **An’ that's right, miss.

They will never go willingly.” “There Is an argument which will overcome their fear. I mean cupidity. Each sailor aboard has an interest In the salvage of this vessel under the English law*.

He listened gravely to what I had to say, with little comment, and was evi dently weighing every argument in his mind. — ‘Tve bln In Virginia and Maryland, sir,” he said at lust seriously, “and if the young woman Is a Fairfax, she’ll likely have influence enough ter do just whut she says.

The dawn come slowly, and with but little increase of light. The breeze had alimsit entirely died away, leaving the canvas aloft motionless, the schooner barely moving through a slightly heav ing sea, in the midst of a dull-gray mist. When Watkins emerged vfrom the mist I proposed to him that we go below and continue the search for gold. He was not anxious to go and Dorothy persuaded me to let her go with me. In the room where the ape had been hidden we'found a big chest and I set to work to open It. It proved harder than I had be lieved, the staple of the lock cU^ging to the hard teak wood of which the chest was made. The lid was heavy, hut as I finally forced it backward a hinge snapped" tltld permitted it to drop crashing to the deck., For an in stant I could see nothing within. “Lift up the lantern, Dorothy, please. No, higher than that. What In God’s name? Why, It is the corpse of a woman!” (TO BE CONTINUED.) , - A Good Fight. - A good fight is never for Its day alone. It Is for msny days.

Another resolution asks that the sal ary of the commissioner be raised from $2,000 to $2,600, which amount ix paid to all heads of state departments.
