Chapter XX Continued.
On tho wholo this mall booty was
.lot disappointing. Popo kept tho
newspapers to road; there was no lit
erature in tho little iihlp, aud ho be
lloved those West Indian joumals
would Interest Miss Crystal. Whon
tho bngs had boon thoroughly sacked,
ovory letter and parcel opened and
Hung nway, Popo road out tho flguros
ho had entered and told tho men how
much more they woro worth In solid
money slnco eight bolls had been
struck.
"Arc you satisfied?" ho said.
Yes, thoy woro all satisfied.
"Mark now, my hearts," ho ex
claimed, "that thlB Is only tho begin
ning; this crulso isn't up until I'm
worth ton thousand pounds, nnd yo'll
all bo rich men when that's boon
brought nbout. You can till your cans
and drink success; this Is a good day's
work."
Going nft. Capt Pope met Lnurn
ascending tho companion way from
her cabin. Ho stopped nt once, with
his usual low bow and nourish.
"Havo you Benrched tho malls?" sho
asked.
"Yes," ho answorod, loaning oppo
slto to her against n bulkhead and
laughing, and adoring her.
"What did you And?"
"Certain things propor to enrich
us," ho repMed.
"How can you havo tho honrt to
steal, Captain Popo?"
"Because, besides my hand, I must
possess nn estate to lay nt your feet."
This was put in a rather Irish way,
and unconsciously thoro was a touch
of tho broguo In his delivery. His
accent nmused her and sho smiled,
and then looked up at Crystal, a llt
tlo piece of whom sho could just
catch a Bight of as ho sat on tho edge
of the skylight.
"If you hud been tho owner of tho
Thetis, I should not tlnd you nn nd
vocato for piracy," said Miss Laura
who Domed disposed to linger, as
"Certain things proper to enrich us."
Miough sho cr.Joved a conversation
with tho heroic Irishman, while her
cousin sucked his old pipe above.
"I dare not nrguo with you," said
Popo. "Your eyes drive tho logic out
of my head. Miss Crystnl Miss
laura Laura," ho cried, with a sud
den passion which anybody might see
ho could not control, "you will bo my
wife?"
Tho plcco of Crystal that was show
ing In tho skylight disappeared; his
newspaper fluttered and vanished like
n butterfly.
"It Is ridiculous!" sho answorod,
with nothing but n fnrnt tremble of
voice to mark loss of self-control.
"Wo aro strangers wo are scarcely
known to each other."
"You could not bo better known to
mo," ho oxclnlmed, approaching her
nnd solving her hand, which sho al
lowed him to retain, "had wo sailed
round tho world togother."
Just as ho said this Captain Crystal
enmo down tho companion steps.
"Aro you coming on, dock, Laura?"
says ho, pausing.
"Why do you object to this young
lady bolng In my company?" said
Popo, and ho looked at Crystal with
dangerous oyos.
"My wish is that my cousin should
be left along by you whllo she's
aboard this brig," ropllod Crystal, in
a harsh nnd savago voice.
Pope, without unfolding his arms,
with tho snmo dangerous expression
burning in his bluo eyes, oyod him
critically for a moment or two, ns
though hosltatlng to decldo whether
ho was drunk or mad. Ho then said,
pointing with a rapid, menacing ges
ture to tho companion hatch:
"Go on deck, sir, and look nftor the
ship!"
"Como you with me," called out
Crystul to Laura, and tho girl, with
a singlo glance of entroaty and fear
at Captain Popo. at onco arose and
wont up tho steps aftor her cousin.
Pope stood for some moments lost
In thought loaning with his hand upon
the table, "I who murdered," ran his
(bought, "I who, at tho risk of my
lite, plundered tho old woman, not
lo3 in his interests than in my own.
llit" he continued to mius, then,
ponrtorlng deeply, ho stepped into his
cabin.
"I hope you have not asked me to
j come on deck to quarrel with me,'
Captains
RUSSELL.
Copyrllht. IW, hy Dodd, Mend & Co.
says Laura, fastening hor eyes, full of
spirit nnd tempor, upon Crystal's rug
god, ntorm-Iurrowod face.
"I know my duty ns your relation,"
ho answered, "and I know what Pope's
duty lit as a gentleman. I'll do mine,
so help mo the gods; nnd he'll havo
to do his," ho nnawercd, stopping so
ns to oblige her to walk with him.
"But ho is doing his duty ns n gon
tloman!" exclaimed tho girl, with n
mounting color. "Ho'a kind to mo,
nnd courteous. It Is you who nro bru
tal." Ho looked sternly at her. "If
father and mother woro both on board
this ship, they would find nothing In
tho behavior of Captain Pope to ob
ject to, however much they might
abominate his and your trnde."
In u moment Pope returned to tho
-deck. Ho was smoking a cigar. Ho
wont to tho wheel and looked at tho
brig's course. Then with his seaward
ly blue oyes ho narrowly clrclod the
horizon. Crystal loaned against tho
bulwark rail, and Laura a little at a
loss took up tho papers upon tho sky
lfght, and seemed to road thJlr ad
dresses. Pope called down tho com
panion hatch, and tho man who was
preparing tho tabic for that last oarly
meal, which at sea Is called supper,
brought up a chair which tho captain
placed tvgainst the skylight in the
shadow of tho trjsail.
Miss Laura seated herself. Captain
Pope pulled out ti penknife, and cut
open throe or four newspapers, one
of which ho handed to tho young lady,
himself retaining another.
"Crystal," sings out Popo n a mid
don, "what d'yo say to this?"
Tho square man came leisurely for
ward with his nowspapor in one hand
and his pipe In tho other.
"Here surely seems something In the
shape of booty," said Pope, with a
llttlo oxcltomout. "What's tho date
of this sheet?" Ho looked at It and
rend It aloud. "So! By George, Jon
athan, wo ought to fall In with her!"
and le read out of the body of the
paper full particulars of a largo West
Indlnman of seven hundred tons,
which was to sail from Kingston on
a date that made It four or five days
after that of the issue of tho paper
ho hold. She was a far richer ship
than the Thetis. Sho was to carry
twelve thousand pounds in specie;
Eeveral valuable consignments were
mentioned.
Ho put down his paper, went below
and returned in a few minutes with
a large chnrt of the Atlantic. IIo put
this chart down upon tho deck close
beside Iiura and knelt upon It, and
Crystal likewise knelt.
"A wook's ambling should bring us
abreast," said Pope rising, nnd Crys
tal also roso, and tho wiry chart
colled Itself up like a. thing of llfo
"If wo can tako her, sho should suf
fice." "Thoro will bo another fight," said
Lnurn. folding and unfolding her pa
per. "How dreadful! Both of you
may Jose your lives, and all for n lit
tle money which will not do either of
you good, becnuso It will not be hon:
eatly come by."
"When I get my fortuno ashore."
says Pope, smiling at her, "l will have
it blessed, and then tho monoy will
bo as sweet and chaste as though
oarnod by that sort of sweat which Is
as holy as prayor."
CHAPTER XXI.
The Slaver.
The dusk glowod out of the oast
and ovorwholmod tho wost; It was
loaded with stars and some clouds
hovered ovor tho odge of the sea.
"Crystal," said Popo. spoaklng as
though tho unpleasant passage be
tween thorn that afternoon had clean
gono out of his mind, "what d'yo pay
to heaving tho brig to every nightfall
for tho night? Sho's not to give us
the go-by In the durk, John."
"I wouldn't henvo to yot If I was
you," answered Crystal, "wo han't
closed her by loagues."
"Wo must fall In with her at all
costs," says Pope; "for 1 want to bee
an ond to this jaunt. Miss Crystal,
will you penult me to conduct you to
tho plain supper table of a plrnto?"
With some ceremony ho clapsod her
hand. Crystul walked away to tho
wheel and took out the binnacle lamp
to light his pipe, and replaced It, but
oontrlvad In no doing to throw the
nhofln of tho flatno ovtr tho holm
man's fade
"You're ono of (lis TheUVa mon,
ain't you?" sfild ho.
"Yaa, sir," wns the answer.
"How d'ye llko this llfo?" said CryF
tnl. "Why, I ain't seon enough of It yot
to mako up my mind," replied tho
man. "There's a bit of tho swag bo
low a-comlng to my share,' and if tho
skipper was to knock off now It Un't
mo an would bo the first to sing out."
Crystnl sucked n moment or two
at his pipo in silence.
"I'm beginning to think," ho said,
with an affectod yawn, "that this life's
out and away to risky for a man who
vnluos his neck and reputation. Aud
though my frlond Captain Popo makes
light of tho difficulty, cuss mo if I
can understand how wo're going to
dispose of the booty, nnd not get
nabbod, every mothor's son of us, and
strung up."
"I suppose," said tho fellow at tho
holm, "If nny of us mon want to go
clear of this job the capt'n would bo
wlllln' to transship us."
"Ay, by ponding yo ndrift."
"That ud bo bleeding hard," said
the helmsman. "No capt'n's got n
right to forco a man Into being a
pirate without his consent."
"Sound some of 'the mon forward,
your own shipmates particularly,"
says Crystal, with a note of carole9
ness in his voice. "You needn't men
tion this conversation of ours. Re
port to me privately. If more than
half tho ship's company are willing
to abandon the cruise, then I may in
duce tho captnln to give It up, nnd
mako for sufety while our necks aro
our own."
Saying this ho moved away, and
stood bosldo tho skylight, and, un
porcelvod, looked down.
Ho witnessed a lovo scone, and In
voluntarily clenched his hands. Popo
had murdered a blockader, ho had
barbarously plundered an aunt. Ho
had killed, robbed and scuttled, and
Crystal qui to understood that tho
hnndsomo dog, unless ho cheated the
law by his own hand, or was collared
by disease and walked off, must bo
hanged. He was enraged and mor
tified also by Iaura's indifference to
hl'j views and wishes. Sho wns al
lowing Pope to mako love to her, and
.Jonathan ground his teeth.
Laura, who clearly listened with in
terest, often with a light of pleasure
in her bosnttful face, and sometimes
she would flash a look at her wor
shiper. Doubtless she knew that her cousin
was on deck, but the infrequent glance
sho would shoot through tho skylight
sank into tho dusk past the faco
gllmorlng to tho skylight.
Crystal took off his hat and wiped
his biow. Tho meteoric dust was very
plentiful over tho mastheads, and tho
horizon opened northeast against a
gentle play of violet lightning. The
square man was thirsty, ho was also
hungry, and Grindal being too drunk
to relieve him his irritability increased
because lie observed that the couplo
in tho cabin made no signs of coming
on deck.
Quitting tho skylight ho walked
slowly forward. The gloom was deep
betwixt tho rails, and all about the
neighborhood of tho caboose, owing
to tho Inky, dyo cast into it by tho
shadowing of tho sailB, and tho dusk
was spangled with tho glowing bowls
of smokers, who, finding the tempera
ture of tho 'tween-decks oppressive,
had cast themselves upon the deck
nnd lay In groups

Charles Dickens Settlement.
Rov. W. H. Longsdon, vicar of St.
Michael's borough, London, Is looking
for a "founder" for his proposed
"Charles Dickens Settlement," In that
parish. Tho qualification is a gift of

house which Mr. Longsdon proposoa
to utilize for the "Charlos DIckon Set

:iv bedrooms for young students nnd
others who would como down to the

wonderful success.

"For many years I had been trou
bled with my Kidneys and pains In
the small of my back. I triad many
n.-;d!c!nos but did not derive uny bono

dozen boxos of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

to improve, my back quit aching and
I felt better and stronger all around.

bist medicine in the market to-day,
and If my back should bother mo
again, I will use nothing olse."
