and I’m quite content to nbide in these

—or, if not hereabouts, a bit further south
—that I expect to light on the 'Santa An

"Von old idiot!” I was going to say; but
hot wanting to hurt the foolish fellow’s
feelings or fall out with him, I merely
fisked why on earth he expected to find the
reasure-shlp in that particular spot, es
•ecially as we did not know within a thous
and miles whore we were.
“We ere In the doldrums," he answered,
doggedly; “there can It;-no doubt about
that: and I have always saUl as U the
‘Santa Auna' was not cast away—and I
don’t think she was cast away—I have al
ways said ns she was somewhere in the
doldrums; and 1 am sure I am right."
This was conclusive, and I could only say
that I hoped we should sight the “Santa
Anna" soon, and find her treasure aboard.
“Oh, we shall find the treasure, euro
enough! What would bo the use of eight
lug her it we didn't?"
CHAPTER XII.—BEFOGOEDl
As may be supposed, life on the becalmed
vessel was not particularly amusing. We
| had not much to talk about, and ont of
] his own liue old Tom was os ignorant as
I an infant There were, fortunately, plenty
| of books on lioard—at least a hundred of
i them being Action—and I spent much of
I my time in readlug, and studying, as well
i as I could with the menus at my disposal,
! the theory of navigation. Then I wrote up
t he log-book, or ruther. made an entry in it
every day, for there was very little to set
down. Had I not done so I should have
lost count of time, so like was one day to
another. Now and then I went into the
engine-room, and by getting up steam,
starling and stopping the engine, I famil
iarized myself with Its working. After
awhile, I became a fairly expert engineer,
and bad onr coal bunkers not been so
nearly empty, I should have shipped the
screw anil steamed In the direction whither
I thought lay the nearest laud.
Bolsover pottered about the ship, mend
ed sails, spliced ropes, washed the decks,
smoked, and slept; yet he got very weary,
und one dny proposed that, by way of di
version, we should make war on the rats.
I asked how ho would do It, seeing that we
bad neither cats, traps, dogs, nor ferrets.
“I will make the beggars drown them
selves,” he said.
Ami then he disclosed bis plan. Rats,
he explained, cannot live without water,
and this was the reason why there were so
many of thorn about the water-tanks, where
they slaked their thirst by licking up the
drippings and droppings. But as there
was so much less water drawn than form
erly, there wore fewer drippings, and the
rats being for that reason extremely dry,
water would make n splendid bait. All
that was necessary would be to take buck
ets, put a few inches of water at the bot
tom—mixed with molasses to prevent them
from jumping out—flx long strips of wood
on the sides, so balanced that when the
juts ran along them to get at the water
they would full iuto the buckets. _
"very well,” I saul; "try It But In my
opinion the less you have to do with the
rats the hotter. If they have not got the
fever—I wish they had—they can give It”
"Oh, 1 have no fear. I shall not take the
fever. I never thought I should. Besides,
that storm must have blown it all out of
the ship.”
So Tom arranged his buckets, put them
down in the hold near the water-tanks,
and a waited the result with great expecta
tions.
An hour later he came up in great glee,
bringing one of his buckets.
“Look here!” he exclaimed. "And there’s
more in the others.”
In the boilom of the bucket was a writh
ing imiss of rats. The water had not been
deep enough to drown all of them, and the
survivors, entangled in the molasses, were
lighting desperately over the bodies of their j
comrades.
“Poor wretches!” I said. “Pat themout
of their misery, Tom!”
“Poor wretches! Put them out of their
miseryl I would rather put them into a
bit more. Icn’t it them os did all the mis
chief? But here goes! I’ll chuck them
into the water and let the sharks catch ’em
—if they can. They’ll be well met.” :
And with that Tom went to the taffrail, <
and turned the bucket upside-down, where- ;
upon all the rats, dead and alive—all save
one, a fierce-looklng, gray-whiskered vet- I
eran, which contrived to cling to the side—
fell pell-mell into the sea.
“Get out, you big devil!” said the boat
swain, seizing it by the tail.
But instead of getting out, the rat twist
ed round and fixed its long, sharp teeth
into its captor’s thumb. Tom dropped the
bucket like a hot potato, and catching the i
creature by the neck, choked it oft, and '
sent it spinning. {
“By-, it hurts!” he exclaimed, pop
ping the wounded thumb into his mouth. |
"You had better go and bathe it with hot
water,” I said. “Bat-bites ore nasty things
“I don’t think it*s worth while. I’ll put
a bit of pitch on it. It’s the best plaster I
know. I never thought a rat could bite so
keen. That gray-whiskered beggar’s teeth
were like pins and needles.” j
The incident made the boatswain more 1
Inveterate against the rats than ever. He j
converted all the buckets in the ship into
traps, and by sunset he had caught several
dozens. He took care, however, before j
throwing them overboard, to see that they j
were properly drowned, and even then he
handled the bucket in such a way as to
prevent any possibility of a second bite. I
But the rats, though they perished, had
their revenge. The next morning Bolso
ver was very ill. The thumb was inflamed
'and exceedingly painful, and he had all
the appearance of sickening for yellow fev
er. I was seriously alarmed, for, despite
his craze about the ‘‘Santa Anna,” old
Tom was a thorough seaman und a very .
good fellow. You cannot be thrown much j
with a man (at any rate. I cannot) without
getting to like him—unless he is absolute- |
ly repulsive—and I hod got to like the ;
boatswain. Besides, what would become :
of me if I should be left alone on board a |
big ship in mid-ocean, utterly ignorant of
my whereabouts, only just able to steer,
and hardly knowing one sail from another?
If it were possible to keep old Tom alive,
I meant to do it, although, judging by my
recent experience, the odds against his re- j
covery were hundreds to one. On the oth
er hand, the very fact that he had remained I
bo long invulnerable showed that he pos- I
sessed great resisting power, and rendered
it probable that he would make a tougher 1
fight for his life than the others had done, i
The first thing was to get my patisnt to '
keep his bed, which for a time he obstln- j
ately refused to do. To confess that he |
was ill would not only have touched his j
pride and made his boastings look rather j
ridiculous, but would have gone far to j
falsify his predictions. So he pretended
that his illness was a mere passing indis
position—“a bit of a headache”—made
light of his swollen thumb, and insisted on
getting up and helping to prepare break
fust.
But the strongest will cannot long bear
np under severe local pain and the all-per
vading agonies ot fever, and it was not long
before Bolsover confessed himself beaten,
and took to his lied.
“I never thought I should bo ill,” ho
murmured, “hut it won’t be much. I shall
be well in a day or two, I know I shull.
Yon were right, Mr. Erie; 1 shouldn't have
meddled with them rats—hung ’em) I
don’t earn how soon we get ontot this ship.
’ Then’s s cans on her; that's what It la.
Then’s a curse on her."
Torn must have been very bad to own
himself lu the wrong. It waa an evil sign,
and made me almost despair of his recov
ery.
"I had lately rend a second time, to some
lnstnuces a third time, the medical books
In the captain’s cabin, and the knowledge
thus acquired, and my own observation,
had given me certain Ideas no to tnatment
ot yellow fever, which I now proceeded to
ptit into practice. Medicine having pro
duced no effect in previous cases,. 1 deter
mined to try something else.
One of the most characteristic symptoms
ot the malady is intense bent, the patient’s
temperature being often as high os one
hundred and seven degrees. I presumed,
though I did not know for certain, that
this was owing to an arrest of perspiration.
The main point, therefore, was to make
my patient sweat; so I rolled him In a wet
sheet, then put a pile ot blankets on tbe
top of him, and made him drink about a
gallon of hot water. I kept him In tbs
pack for hours, and when I unpacked him,
washed him all over with salt water. This
operation I repeated several times in suc
cession, and always whon the fever got
worso and his skin became hot and dry. I
do not presume to say that I cured Bolso
ver, for the Illness ran its course: but, at
any rate, lie recovered, and that is what
none of the others did. The fever may,
however, have been of a milder typo than
theirs, and it is of course quite possible
that he would havo got better in any case,
and did actually get better, not because of,
hut in spite of, my treatment. But my
patient thought otherwise, lie quite be
lieved I hud cured him. said that he owed
me bis life, and, lathe fullness of his heart,
protested that, whether I helped him to
find the "Santa Anna” or not, he should
give me half her cargo of gold and silver.
“Thunk you, Tom,’’ I said, laughing.
“I’ll take it, with all my heart; and it will
he the biggest fee over paid to a quack doc
tor since the world began, and that is say
ing a great deal.” j
"There is nothing to laugh at,” an
swered the boatswain, who could never
bear being chaffed about hiscraze. "There
is nothing to laugh at, and I’ll make a man j

able to put one leg before the other. |
“I shall not be of much use when the
change comes,” he said, as I supported
him to a Southampton chair, under an
awning we had rigged up a short time be*
fore he fell ill. I
“What change?" I
"Change of weather, to be sure. And It
Is bound to come soon. How long have we
been here?" j
"we have been becalmed five weeks; but
as to how long we have been here I would
not venture to offer an opinion. I am not
sure whether we are herel”
“You are getting beyond me, now, Mr.
Erie. Not sure whether we are herel
Where else should we be?"
“I mean tliat we are moving. At any
rate, 1 think so. I happened this morning
to throw a cork overboard at the stern, and
now it is at the bowB.”
"There must be a current, then."
"It looks so; and if the cork, moves so
must the Bhip, though not so fast.”
"You may soon find out whether she
moves. Make a trial with the log."
"A happy thought! It never occurred to
me. I will do it at once."
And I did. The "Diana" was progres
sing through the water at the rate of a
knot an hour. I
“If we have been going at this speed all
along for the last five weeks," I said, mak
ing a rapid mental calculation, "we have
done eight hundred and forty miles.”
"I don’t think we have been going at this
speed all along. When I fell ill it was as
dead a calm as it could be. and as hot as
blazes. And now it is cooler—I am sure it
is cooler. Don’t you think so?" |
“I kuow it is. I look at the thermome

is from seven to ten degrees lower than if
was a fortnight slnr-°,”

Sorrowful Stugglns’ “Corpse Cure."
Curb and Corridor of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press has nn aunt who lives in
one of the four—points of the compass
—divisions of the pretty city of Brook
field. Mass., and the old lady, who has
a keen sense of humor, loves to dilate
upon the queer people whom she has
for neighbors, and some of their odd
sayings and doings. Here are a couple
of her anecdotes:
*'I had n female acquaintance who
lived at the foot of the hill in North
Brookfield, on whose slope was a small
graveyard. At the bottom of the slope
was the well which supplied her with
water. One dav a friend from Boston,
a doctor, visited her, and when he took
a walk aftij dinner was horrified nt
discovering the dire possibilities of the
drainage from the location of the
tombs into the well. He rushed into
the house to remonstrate, but after he
had told his horrible tale all the womau
said was:
•••Oh, I reckon ’twon’t hurt me nnv.
Thom’s nios'lv ray relations that’s
buried up yonder.’
••We used to call him Sorrowful
Stuggins. because he took on so when
his first wife died. He built a vault on
his own plnee—it was nigh the skirts oi
Brookfield lie lived—and had her body
put iu it so that the coffin could easily
be seen. But Stuggins got tired of
loneliness after a couple of years oi
widowering. and married a* woman
from a neighboring farm. The second
wife had a temper of her own. and it
wasn’t long before she gave Stuggins
a taste of it. So what did that man do
but go to an undertaker and got a
glass top put in his first wife’s coffin.
Then when number two got cantank
erous he'd lead her to the vault and
push her down over the opening, say
ing: j
•••There, you cross-grained female,
take a look at the only woman I ever
loved.’
••It dUln’t take many doses of that '■
sort of medicine to take pretty much
all the cantanker out of the number
two, aud we used to call it the ‘corpso
cure.’”

and fairly swarm on tiio fowls at night.
Worst of nil they are so very small us

be fairly overrun before their presence

A Diabolical Trio.
If there la one more fiendish than the hateful
trinity, dyspepsia, hlltouaneaa and Irregularity
of the bowele ueunlly ealatent together, we are
unaware of It. Those co-operauve organs, the
stomach, the bowels and the 1 vt r are usuully
thrown out of gear together, and the restora
tion of regularity to ono Is usually the signal
for the others to fall Into line. Hostetler's
Stomach Ritters controls all three beneficently
and completely, not only regulating but In
vigorating them. It also exerts a most happy
influence upon the kidneys and the blood, giv
ing a healthful impulse and enriching the sec
ond. It overcomes malaria and a tendency to
chronic rheumatism aad neuralgia, and Im
proves appetite and sleep. To tho nervous It
affords unspeakable relief. A wineglassful
three times daily will. If persisted In, achieve
results to be expected from no other health
medium.
