CHAPTER XIX. Continued.
Crystal stood r.p. Ho had finished
breakfast, and nt sen, when a man
ends his meal, ho departs without a
moment's loss of time to rcliovc the
man who has relieved him, supposing
It to ho his watch on deck.
"A pity you didn't sail in any other
ship than tho Thetis, Laura," said ho,
nnd with n glance at Pope, that
seemed malevolent owing to tho Blind
aw with which his scar dyed it, ho
trudged up the short steps.
"Crystal Is not n good tempered
man," said Popo, softly.
"Ho is in concern about me," an
swered Laura.
"I havo served Jilm well," continued
Popo, leaning bnck, and gazing at her
thoughtfully. "Ho was so poor when
1 fell in with him in London that, In
a fow dnys, ho would not havo pos
sessed a shilling for n meal. Probably
his sharo In this voyage will already
work out at considerably over a thou
sand pounds I Include a certain draft
which Is Buro to bo honored. I accept
ed all tho visits. I burdened mysolf
with a painful memory. I found him
a comfortablo berth, nnd offered him a
sharo in my fortune, nnd how does ho
repay me? Ho dislikes that J should
even admlro you you, madam, who
aro so admlrnblo thnt no man could
behold you without adoration."
Her cheeks wero burning, but cor
tnlnly not with dlsplcasurs. iAnd now
ho exhibited great tact, for though ho
was alono with her ho made no at
tempt to press himself, though I will
not say that this might not havo been
owing In a small degree to tho acci
dent of his casting his eyes up to"
tho skylight, through which ho be?
held a number of surly, Irritable, im
patient, piratic faces staring down at
him and tho girl.
Whon everything had been conveyed
on dock, Popo lighted a cigar and fol
lowed tho men. He found all hands
nsscmblod.
Tho plunder had been heaped be
wecn tho skylight nnd tho wheel, and
"This will save the
tho pirates made a considerable crowd
on cither hand of It.
Pope, smoking a cigar, walked up
to tho pllo of stuff, thus stationing
himself between the mobs of men. Ho
Bald i
"My lads, all that wo have taken so
far is. here. There is gold In thoso
cases. No call to count tho coins. "Wo
know to n shilling by the ship's papers
what tho amount Is."
Sitting down on one of .tho cases,
ho pulled out a notebook and a pen
cil, and his men watched him In si
lenco whllo ho made certain calcula
tions. "I will not glvo you his figures; to
tell the truth I do not recollect them.
I believe that ho reserved one-third of
tho money for himself and brig, giv
ing Crystal a fourth of the remainder,
and tho restto the men In equal por
tions, without regard to ratings. Tho
old man who told mo this story was
not very clear on this head.
When Popo had called out tho fig
ures aloud, standing up to do jso, and
looking about him with a face of Iron,
he cried out, "You aro satisfied, I
hope?"
"Who's a-going to mako tho valua
tion?" exclaimed a plrato, impatiently.
"Tho capt'n who" else could?" Bays
Bobbin, In tho crowd, adding instant
ly, "always begging of Mr. Crystal's
pardon."
"I-et's shove ahead, then," says
Popo.
It was noon before tho worth of the
.things had been summed up. The
mall bags had not been opened. Pope
broke off to tako sights with Crystal,
and the men went below to dinner,
two remaining to Bentlnel tho booty.
A melodious voice sounded in the
companlonway, "May I come on
deck?"
"An instant," roared Pope. Ho
caught the bell and shouted, "Strike
tho boll eight."
"Eight bells," echoed Crystal, and
while a pirate hammered eight silvery
chimes out of tho throat of a llttlo
green bell that huug close abaft the
foremast, Capt. Popo went along to
Laura Crystal.
"It Is good to breathe this air after
the atmosphere of the cabin," sho ex
claimed, "and It is dull downstairs."
Before Pope could answer, Crystal
trudged up-
Pope paused a moment to look

around tho sen, and In that pause
Laura's eyes rested upon IiIb flno face,
and Crystal noticed tho look. Tho
cquaro man put down his quadrant,
nnd ho nnd Laura fell a-paclng tho
deck, Popo descend u.
Tho cousins walked tho deck for a
llttlo whllo in sllonco. Crystnl then
suddenly said, screwing his eyes Into
tho extremity of their sockets so as
to obscrvo tho girl without turning
his head:
''What d'yo think of Pope?"
"He's a very gentlomnnly sailor,"
hho answered, with a slight smile.
"He's much too handsome, dignified
and well-bred to bo a pirate."
Crystal's mouth widened In a grin,
but there was little or no mirth in the
grlmnce.
"I hope," says he bluntly, now turn
ing his head to look at her fully, "that
you're not going to fall In love with
him. Eh! Is it so? Has his blarney
bitten yo already?" Ho paused, breath
ing hard. "Curso me," ho continued,
"If Jonathan Crystal Is going to let
any relation of his marry u pirate."
"Why not?" Bald Laura coolly.
"The Crystals aro a respectable old
family and pirates nro hanged," said
Crystal In a low note.
"Aren't you a pirate." .cried tho
beautiful girl, "and aren't you likely to
bo hanged?"
"No," roared Crystnl In a tono that
caused the ovll-cyed helmsman to
start and Btarc. "Sec this! 'tis this
that will save the Crystals from dis
grace," and ho whipped a pistol out of
his breast.
"You frighten mo more than over
Cnpt. Popo does," said Laura, who
had turned a llttlo pale, though sho
spoke steadily. "I would rather bo
protected by him than by you. You'ro
In n bad temper and look terrible.
Capt. Popo Is all goodness and con
sideration, and I'll go downstairs until
you make mo feel easy In your com
pany;" and down she went, to the
amazement of the square man, who
stood rooted, but swaying on his
Crystals from dlsfjrace!"
strong legs watching her sink through
tho hatch.
Tho cabin man was preparing tho
table for dinner. Laura sat down upon
a locker nnd sank into thought. ,
On a sudden Pope's door opened and
the captain stepped forth. Ho started
with a look of transport on beholding
her, and Instantly approached and
seated himself at her side. Ho mado
as if he would take her hand, checked
lilmself, but self-restraint tired his
check with blood, and sho thought he
looked handsomer than sho had ever
before seen him.
"Is not all that booty I havo been
looking at upstairs enough for you?"
Baid she.
"Enough for mo. But there aro
others."
"What will bo your share?"
"Say two thousand pounds," ho an-
swored, smiling at those Inquiries,
which were mndo charming to him
by the beautiful face he looked ati
"Can you make the roat satisfy the
men, 30 as to end this voyage and
save your lives?"
"I cannot live upon the Interest of
two thousand pounds," answered Popo
with a sigh, "and I shall not make the
halter longer by extending my cruise
and enlarging my estate. But I am
touched," oald ho In his sweetest man
ner, "that you should feel anxious
about my safety,"
This was significant, and so were
her blushes; but If Pope nt this mo
ment intended to make love, his pas
sion must be hindered by the intru
sion of a round ot salt, boiled beef.
In fact4 tho cabin dinner was ready.
Crystal was called, Grindal was shout
ed for and took charge, and the two
captains and the young lady seated
themselves.
It was plain from Crystal's face that
he continued In a bad temper. Though
Pope could not but cast from time to
time an adoring glance at Laura, ho
rofralned from making dlioct love to
her under Jonathan's nose. Whon thoy
wore seated Pope said:
"Miss Crystal Is unonsy about you
and me, Johnny; she would have us
end tho voyago before we're captured
and hanged. 1 have told her that we
are not yet rich enough."
'She need not trouble hcrjclf with
fears of our being hanged," said Crys
tal; "depend upon It in my death 1
shall not disgrace those who boar mj
namo."
"How long is this voyage going to
last?" exclaimed Laura.
"Long enough to satisfy tho purpose
of it," teplied Pope. "I am hero to
make my fortune. I havo made no
fortune as yet; nothing under ten
thousand pounds will satisfy me. If
Capt. Crystal is dissatisfied let him
take his sharo and I'll shift him into
tho first ship we signnl."
"My cousin goes with me," said
Crystal.
"Does she? does she?" exclaimed
Pope. Then growing sensible that his
power of self-restraint was abandon
ing him, ho Bprang to his feet and,
making Miss Laura one of hia court
liest bows, went up tho companion
Bteps, carrying himself with a grace
which tho girl thought no man had
ever surpassed.
"All tho same," says Crystal gloom
ily and sullenly, "if I shift, ns ho calls
it, you shift with me."
"You are not grateful, you are not
evon gracious," she answered.
He said, with nn oath, "You aro in
love with him."
On which she rose and went to her
cabin.
Crystal finished his dinner. It was
not yet three bells; ho drank two
strong tumblers of rum and water,
then Joined Pope on deck. Half a
score of tho pirates had collected
about the stuff. Tho rest of the crew
wero at this time slowly coming for
ward though three bells had not been
struck. Pope stood with folded armii
gazing down at the mall bags, but It
was sure his thoughts wero not with
them. Lifting his eyes, he saw Crys
tal, and without the least menace of

cordiality, either, he put his hand
upon the rugged man's shoulder, and
drew him to tho rail away from tho
listeners.
"Yo don't want to go adrift, John?"
"Not without my cousin."
"See here," says Pope, taking a
step so as to command Crystal's face.
"My father, who was a clergyman of
the Church of England, used to say,
the priest tells tho parson, If you do
not believo in my church you must go
to hell. And my father would say tho
parson's reply would be, If you do not
believo in my church you must go to
hell. For every man has a right to
liis own opinion, Johnny, and If you
don't like mine, Fay the word, Pocket
your share," says he, pointing to the
litter of stuff, "and I'll put yo aboard
the first ship we see."
"You'll put us aboard?" says Crys
tal savacely.
"By ," and here Pope swore, "I'd
cut your throat first, man, yea, even
ns you slept, before I parted with her.
She's my booty. She's my prize. She
loves me."
He rounded on his heel and walked
away to the pile of plunder, and Crys
tal at the rail watched him under tho
shadow of his scar with his brain
fashioning a scheme whose one prim
ary and essontlal feature was and ho
was not too drunk to conceive it
that ho must stick to the brig.

The Malls.
It was now for Pope to open tho
mall bag3 and examine their contents.
Crystal left the bulwarks, against
which he had been leaning, and drew
close.
There wero several bags of mails,
and each was Btuffed full. The con
tents consisted of letters, newspapers,
little parcels, and the like. The let
ters which contained nothing but writ
ing were flung overboard. One stout
envelope in the third bag that was
opened, secured by tapo and green
sealing wax, was found to contnln a
flat packet of small diamonds. Some
bills of exchange were met with. Bank
notes of tho value of six hundred
pounds. Sundry small packages con
tained articles of Jewelry.

Historic Residence In India.
Lord Kitchener's house at Simla, In

tho view until coming to an open gate
way a vista reveals tho house and
grounds, and a flag-staff which marks
ft as the residence of the Commander-in-Chief
The gateway itself has a
military appearance, for at the ba&
of each Iron pillar surmounted by
lamps, a cannon faces outward, and
two Gurkha soldiurs pace up and down
ehoulderlng rifles. This old place Is
fraught with historical associations,
for it 'has been the summer residence
of the Commander-in-Chief In India for
years. Tho names of Roberts, "Lock

it Is said that when Lord Kitchener

he pronounced It "a barn," and spoke

Kingfisher's Nest Not Wanted.
Dr. Bowdler Sharpe of the British
museum says that for years there has
been a popular idea abroad that tho
museum is in want of a kingfisher's
nest and is willing to give $500 for
It. The result Is that every spring
Dr. Sharpe gets a great number of
kingfishers' nests sent to him and the
consignors are greatly disappointed
when ho has to, return them. Another
myth Is still more foolish. It Is that
a well-known ontomologist has paid
$5,000 for a specimen of a flea. Tho
fact of tho matter is that from three
pence to sixpence only is the price
commanded by any out-of-tlio-way ex

PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST.
Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept. 30.
The South Dakota idea this year Is to
emphasize the riches of this state.
Whon it Is confidently stated that this
year for tho sixth consecutlvo year
South Dakota will lead all other states
In tho greatest per capita wealth, It
can readily bo understood why South
Dakota 1b ambitious to advertise its
crops and resourcos.
The report of a fortnight ago regard
ing tho heavy fall of snow and dam
age dono to the crops by frost, now
appears to havo been a false alarm.
This is the Judgment of a party of
newspaper men and representatives ot
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry.
who have mado a trip of more thaa
1,200 miles through tho stato during
tho last ten days. Tho greatest esti
mate of damage that Is now made by
those in a position to know 1b, threaf
per cent damage to corn crop of ,tfl
state. In tho rich agricultural seatlon,
in tho valley of the Missouri River,
crops appear to splendid advantage.
Occasionally one finds fields where
there has been perhaps too much wa
ter and the crops are somewhat lato,
but this is the exception.
Tho following Is a conservative esti
mate of the products of tho Btate and
their value for 1903:
Product. Bushols.
Wheat 50,000.000
Corn 60,000.000

While corn is tho second product in
total value, tho 1003 crop shows an
Increase of about thirteen and a half
million bushels over the crop of 1902.
At the rate corn Is being Increased la
acreage, tho prediction that corn will
bo king In South Dakota within a few
years, seems to be reasonable.- Tho
.total production of new wealth for
1902 was $119,949,000. Tho Increase
of nearly $27,000,000 of this year is.
sufllclent answer to tho derogatory re
ports about tho state that havo ap
peared within the lost fortnight.
Perhaps a stronger argument irt
favor of the state is shown In an ex
amination of' the bank deposits. Ia
-uly, 1901, South Dakota banks had
deposits amounting to $14,000,000.00;
on July 1, 1902, theso amounted to
$30,000,000.00, and on July 1, 1903, to
?32,000,000.00.
In addition to tho money In corn,
wheat and tho gold of the Black Hills,
which has beon termed tho richest
erne hundred square miles In the
world, there 13 good money In South,
Dakota cattle. Men who havo como to
South. Dakota without money, and
who now count their dollars with five
figures, say that raising cattle is the
only business In the world for which
a man can borrow his entire capita'.
It Is a fact that South Dakota banks
are glad to help any henost, Industri
ous young man, who comes well recom
menlod for his commercial Integrity,
In cattle business and accept his cat
tle as collateral. A banker of Ips
wich tojd your correspondent that dur
ing twenty years of such loans he had
not lost one cent and ho could namo
by the Bcore young mon who had se
cured from South Dakota banks the
price of their first herd of cattle.
A visit to the cattlo ranch ot Lee &
Prentl3 near Vermillion, S. D., was
one of the lpterestlug features cf the
above mentioned trip. Leo & Prentis
cro tho largest catt'.o breeders la
bouth Dakota. They exhibit with somo
pride, among their valuable short
horns, a two-year-old heifer which re
cntly took sweepstakes over the win
ner of tho sweepstakes nt 1902 Inter
national Live Stock Exposition at Chi
cago. Other shorthorns have just re
turned from a very victorious tour
among inter-state and county fairs,
winning eight first prizes at Sioux
City, eight at Yankton and six at
Huron. There aro other stock farms
in the state that show blooded cattlo
not far behind theso prize winners.
A largo number of the farmers and
stockmen, ns well as a majority of tho
South Dakota editors have been In at
tendance at the Corn Palace at Mitch
ell during the last week. The South
Dakota Commission to the St. Louis
Exposition hns Just decided to repro
duce tho Mitchell Corn Palaco as the
Soutn Dakota exhibit, and visitors to
St. Louis will have an opportunity to
see a building 140 by 100 feet, the ex
terior of which will bo entirely con
structed of corn.
Like other South Dakpta towns,
Mitchell is shov-'ng considerable prop
perlty and enterprise this year. Tho
cornerstone of tho $40,000 city hall
was laid last week; tho walls of a
$50,000 hotel to bo built of stono and
steel are up above the first f.oor; a
Carnogle library has been built at a
cost of $15,000, and a score of smaller
bulldliig3 aro under construction, and
Improvements and pavement of streets

for such a fine showing at this time,
the last legislature of South Dakota
agreed to submit to voters of the stato
in November, 1904, the question of
moving the stato capltol from Pierro
to Mitchell. Tho people of the latter
town, backed by a goodly numbur'of
those In the most thickly populated
portions of the state east of the Mis
souri River, and In tho Dlack Hills,
who will find Mitchell moro accessible
than Pierre, have already under way
a lively campaign by which they ex
pect to securo the capital in Novem
ber, 1904. The reproduction of tho
Mitchell Corn Palace at the St. Louis
Exposition is regarded as a big card
