The galley beufc over to the wind and sped away, and I watched her go with out regret, not thinking of onr own hap less condition, bat only of the brutal fe rocity of that mad crew aboard her. Their shouts of joy ami diabolical laughter died away, and there was no sound but the lapping of the waves against the felucca's side. They had done thoir work thoroughly. Not a moan arose from the heaps of butchered men, not a limb moved, but all were rigid, some lying in grotesque postures as the death agony had drawn them, and after the tumult that had prevailed this stillness of death was terrific. From looking over this ghastly picture I turn ed and clutched at Dawson's hand for some comfortiug 6ense of life aud hu manity. We wero startled at this moment by a light laugh from the cabin, whither Mr. Godwin had carried Moll, fainting with the horror of this bloody business, and going in there now we found her now lying in a . little crib, light headed, clean out of her wits indeed, for she fancied herself on the dusty road to Va lencia, taking her first lesson in the fandango from Don Sanchez. Mr. God win knelt by the cot side, with his arm supporting her head and soothing hor the best he could. We found a little cask of water aud a cup that he might give her drink, and then, seeing we could be of no further service, Dawson and I wont from the cabin, our thoughto awaking now to the peril of our posi tion, without sail in niidsea. And first we east our eyes all round about the sea, but we could descry no sail save the galley and that at a great distance nor any sign of land. Next, casting our eyes upon the deck, we per ceived that the thick stream of blood that lay along that side bent over by the broken mast was greatly spread and not so black, but redder, which was only to be explained by the mingling of water, and this was our first notice that the felucca was filling and we going down. Recovering presently from the stupor into which this suspicion threw us, we pulled to a hatch, and looking down in to the hold porceived that this was in deed true, a puncheon floating on the Water there within arms' reach. Thence, making our way quickly over the dead bodies, which failed now to terrify us, to the fore part of our felucca, we dis covered that the shot which had hit us had started a plonk, and that the water leaked in with every lap of a wave. So now, our wits quickened by our peril, we took a scimiter and a dirk from a dead janizary to cut away the cordage that lashed us to the fallen mast, to free us of that burden and right the ship if we might But ere we did this Dawson, spying the great sail lying out on the water, bethought him to hack out a great sheet as far as we could reach, and this he took to lay over the started plank and' stanch the leakage, while I severed the tackle and freed us from the great weight of the hanging mast and long spar. And certainly we thought our selves safe when this was done, for the hull lifted at once and righted itself upon the water. Nevertheless we were not easy, for we knew not what other planks below the wrater line were in jured, and we knew not how to sink our sheet or wind it over the faulty part. So, still further to lighten us, we mastered our qualms and set to work casting the dead bodies overboard. This horrid busi ness at another time would have made me sick as any dog, but there was no time to yield to mawkish susceptibilities in the presence of such danger as men aced us. Only when all was done I did feel very weakened and shaky, and my gorge rising at the look of my jerkin, all . filthy with clotted blood, I tore it off ! and cast it in the sea, as also did Daw- j son, and so, to turn our thoughts, after ( washing ot our hands and cleaning our feet, we looked over the side and agreed that we were no lower than we were, but rather higher for having lightened our burden. But no sail anywhere on the wide sea to add to our comfort Going into the cabin, we found that our dear Moll had fallen into a sleep, but was yet very feverish, as we could see by her frequent turning, her sudden starts and the dreamy, vacant look in her eyes when Bhe opened them and beg ged for water. We would not add to Mr. Godwin's trouble by telling him of ours, our minds being still restless with apprehensions of the leak, but searching about and discovering two small, dry loaves we gave him one and took the other to divide betwixt us, Dawson and I, and truly we need this refreshment, j as our feeble, shaking limbs testified, 1 after all our exertions of the night and day, it being now high noon, having eaten nothing since supper the night be fore. But, famished as we were, we must needs steal to the side and look over to mark where the water rose, and neither of us dared say the hull was no t lower, for we perceived full well it had I sunk somewhat in the last hour, i Jack took a bite of his loaf and offered me the rest, saying he had no stomach for food, but I could not eat my own, and so we thrust the bread in our breeches pockets and set to work, heav ing everything overboard that might lighten us and forever a-straining our eyes to sight a ship. Then we set to de eans to make the sheet cling damaged planks, but to little and so Dawson essayed to sret Vising m over the j nuruole. 9 .vr- rogue BY FRANK BARRETT author WGRUT iKSKIT A KC0II.ING VfNCfAHCt TliiTAf TUf .iiwc a nfATj"r. i A CO, al it Ttota the inside by going below, but the water was risen so high there was no room between it and the deck to breathe, and so again to wedging the canvas in from the outside till the sun sank. And by that time the water was beginning to leap up through the hatch way. Then, no longer able to hide the truth. Jack turns to me and asks : "How long shall we last?" "Why," says I, "we have sunk no more than a foot these last six hours, and at this slow pace we may well last out eight or nine more ere the water somes over the bulwarks. " 1 He shook his head ruefully, and point ing to a sluice hole in the side said he judged it must be all over with us when I the water entered there. "Why, in that case," says I, "let us , find something to fill the sluice hole. " So, having nothing on deck, we went into the cabin on a pretense of seeing how Moll fared, and Jack sneaked away an old jacket and I a stone bottle, and with these we stopped the sluice hole the best we could. By the time we had made a job of this 'twas quite dark, and having noth ing more to do but to await the end we stood side by side, too dejected to speak for some time, thinking of the cruelty of fate which rescued us from one evil only to plunge us in worse. At length Jack fell to talking in a low tone of his past life, showing how things had ever gone ill with him and those he was attached to. "I think," says he in conclusion, "I am an unlucky man, Kit, one of those who are born to be a curse against their will to others rather than a blessing. " "Nonsense, Jack," says I, " 'tis an idle superstition. " "Nay," says he, "I am convinced 'tis the truth. Not one of us here but would have been the happier had I died a doz en years ago. 'Tis all through me that we drown tonight. " "Nay, 'tis a blessing that we die all together, and none left to mourn." "That may be for you and me, who have lived the best years of our life, but for those in there but just tasting the sweets of life, with years of joy un spent, 'tis another matter. " Then we were silent for awhile, till, feeling the water laving my feet, I ask ed if we should not now tell Mr. God win of our condition. " 'Twas in my mind, Kit," answers he. "I will send him out to you. " He went into the cabin, and Mr. God win coming out I showed him our con dition. But 'twas no surprise to him. Only it being now about 8 in the morn- His head laid upon the pillow beside hU daughter. ing, and the moon risen fair and full in the heavens, he casts his eyes along the silver path on the water in the hope of rescue, and finding none he grasps my hand and says : "God's will be done I 'Tis a mercy that my dear love is spared this last ter ror. Our pain will not be long. " A shaft of moonlight entered the Cab in, and there we perceived Dawson kneeling by the crib, with his head laid upon the pillow beside his daughter. He rose and came out without again turning to look on Moll, and Mr. God win took his place. "I feel more happy, Kit," says Jack, laying his hand upon my shoulder. "I do think God will be merciful to us. " "Aye, surely," says I, willfully mis taking his meaning, "I think the water hath risen no higher this last hour." "I'll see how our sheet hangs. Do you look if the water comes in yet at the sluice hole." And so, giving my arm a squeeze as he slips his hand from my shoulder, he went to the fore part of the vessel, while I crossed to the sluice hole, where the water was spurting through a chink. I rose after the jacket to stanch the leak, and , turning toward Jack I per ceived him standing by the bulwarks, with the moon beyond. And the next moment he was gone. And so ended the life of this poor, loving, unlucky man. I know not whether it was this light ening of our burden, or whether at that time some accident of a fold in the sail, sucking into the leaking planks, staid the further ingress of waters, but certain it is that after this we sank no deeper to any perceptible degree, and so it came about that we were sighted by a fishing boat from Gorthagena, a little after day break, and were saved we three who were left I have spent the last week at Hurst Court, where Moll and her husband have lived ever since Lady Godwin's death. They are making of hay in the meadows there, and 'twas sweet to see Moil and her husband, with their two boys, cock ing the sweet hay. And all very merry at supper. Only one sad memory cast me down as I thought of poor Jack, sor rowing to think he could not see the happiness which, as much as our past troubles, was due to him. THE END. Escaped Frcm Chili. THE DANGEROUS ADVENTURE OF DETECTIVE W. M LUGG. Compelled to Cross the Mountains on Muleback Taken Sick During the Journey. From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. Four years ago, at the time of the trouble between the United States and Chili, as a re tilt of the killing of the sailors of the U. S. S. Baltimore, in the streets of a Chilian city, many Americans were obliged to leave the country for safety. Among them was W. M. Lugg, the private detective aud collector, whose office is in the Crocker building, San Francisco, Cal. Wheu Mr. Luinr left Chili he went across the mountains into Argentine, traveling on muleback. Mr. Lugg says that the trip is a de lightful one in point of beautiful sceuery and perfect weather, but many people dislike to undertake it on account of the unheal thful stagnant water which thev are compelled to drink along the way. Many persons have been stricken down with disease from having drank ol it, and in a number of cases the attacks have proven fatal. The native Chilians drink the water without Injury to their systems, but it has a bad effect upon those who are not used to it. 'I fell a victim to the injurious quali ties of the water," said Mr. Lugg. "It affected my kidneys to an alarming de gree. When I got over into Argentine I thought the trouble would gradually leave me, but instead of that it grew more aggravated and I suffered terribly from pains, in the region of my kidneys. I was enroute to Chicago aud I deter mined to reach my destination before the c'omplaint should grow so serious as to confine me to my bed. Upon reach ing Chicago I at once consulted a physi cian, wno toia me my kidneys uaa Deen affected by drinking polluted water. He treated me for some time for that com plaint, but I grew steadily worse and uew ailments were added to my already serious condition. I began to have neu ralgia pains in my head, my spine was affected with shooting pains aud I had no control over the urinary organs. It was next to impossible for me to get any sleep, l lay awake many a nignt suffering the most intense pains, and the physician unable to relieve them. 'But relief came at last. One day one of my friends came to my room and banded me a box of Williams' Pink Fills. Gf course I laughed at him for daring to think that any patent medicine could aid me when my physician had failed. I took the pills, however, to oblige my friend more than for any faith I had in them, and I was treated to the most joy ous surprise of rny life when 1 realized that I was being relieved of my pains. First the peculiar pains along my spine ceased, and then my neuralgia trouble began to grow less aud finally left me en tirely, ft took a good while to improve the condition of my kidneys, but after I had taken a number of boxes of the pills I knew that they had done their work successfully, for then I had regained con trol of the urinary organs and the action of my kidneys was strong and steady. When 1 thought 1 was out Of all dan ger 1 quit taking the pills. The relief they had afforded was permanent, and 1 have never since felt a recurrence of the the complaints. I hardly know how to praise Williams' Pink Pillsas they should be praised. They certainly are a won derful preparation. I have recommend ed them to a number of my friends who were suffering from kidney complaints, and they have all been benefited by their use." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood aud restore shat tered nerves. They are for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. Sche nectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50. They Like Allen.

It and at the junction of the Denver and Gulf branch of the U. P. K. R., and was at one time a very lively little burg, but like other towns in the great and woolly west, it has lost some of its former great ness. But she is great in her morals. She has several churches, a pretty park aud no saloons, and contains a popula tion of about 400 people and by reason of her close proximity to Nebraska, her interests are almost indentical with ours. Her people are in full sympathy with oir people and they have the greatest respect for our own W. V. Allen who they say is doing such noble work for the common people of the great west, and they are anxious to join with Ne braska in elevating him to the highest office in the gift of the people. J. M. D. EMINENT TESTIMONY Regarding tin New DisoiVdry f jr Curing Dyspepsia and Indigestion, Dr. Hartzman, who has made many tests of the new dyspepsia cure, is very enthusiastic in his praise of this excellent preparation. It is not a secret patent medicine, but is composed of pure pep sin, bismuth, fruit salts and vegetable essences, made into pleasant tasting tab lets or lozenges, and sold by druggists at 50 cents per package under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Dr. Hartzman states that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure dyspepsia and weak stomachs, beoause they possess the peculiar power of digesting whatever wholesome lood is taken iuto the stom ach. They do not act on the bowels like cathartics, but act entirely on the food, digesting it thoroughly and quickly, giving the stomach a chance to rest and recover its natural strength, which it in variably will do after acourseof Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. If your druggist hasn't them in stock ask him to order a small quantity from his wholsaler. Circulars and testimonials sent free by addressing Stuart Co,, Marshall, Mich.

Special to the Independent: In our trip to the west we reached this little hamlet last evening aud secured quar ters at the Phelps house, and we are pleased to record the fact that Big Springs is one of the cleanest and bright est of Nebraska's towns. The people of this place are apparently proud of their homes and business places, the truth of which is displayed in a very liberal use of the painter's brush. Big Springs derives its name from a very large spring of clear fresh water which flows out of the hill side just west of the village. The valley at this point is not more than one-half mile wide and this little bamlet nestles at the foot of the high lands on the north side of the South Platte, and taking it all together it is a very pleasant and homelike place. There was one very noticable feature about this place and that, was the ab sence of the ordinary dry goods box loafers. All her people seem to be busy at something. Free coinage here as elsewhere is the fad that takes the cake. J.

Alice Samee, The Nebraska Independent is at a loss to know what is meant in Connects cut by McKinley democrats. We can ex plain that: it means the same as Cleve land republicans. Clay County Patriot. More Curative power is contained in Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other similar preparation. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more and is worth more to the customer. More skill is required in its preparation and it combines more remedial qualities than any other medicine. Consequently it has a record of more, cures aud its sales are more than those of any other preparation. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best medicine to buy because it is an honest medicine and thousands of testi monials prove that it does actually and permanently cure disease.
