I was, however, on the point I lag the American to keep us in for a couple ol days, on pretens we were making some alterations f It 1 quarters of the convicts, when he th&t he should run to the east for a cruising ground. It turned out esV better than thut At noon, when was about three miles in our wake, tJ wind foil and a dead calm oamefc whioh lasted that afternoon and night all the next day and up to midnight the second , night During this oal wun the whaler in plain view, I no tioed that almost every man of our crew oarried an anxious, excited look, but tljeywcre unusually humble in their demeanor. York was asleep when the whaler's eaptain visited us, but I took care to drop Holt's name so that it would be carried forward to him. He also doubtless iden tified the whaler as soon as he set eyes on her, and it was plain enough that he was greatly disturbed After a bit he made opportunity to speak with me, and when I did not tell him that his name had been mentioned he was evi dently much relieved. On the second day of the calm I bad another talk with Mary Williams. She had been closely watohing the two young women, but they evidently sus pected the espionage and had been on their guard. She had caught on to but one suspicious circumstance. That very morning, while my mate had the deck, the had seen Miss Foster pass some thing to York in a sly manner as she promenaded the deckv As the yonng woman had just come oat of thedis- - pensary it was natural to believe that the object was something carried from that room. The idea of poison flashed through my mind, but was discarded . when I remembered hearing the doc tor say he had nothing of the sort among hit stores. Whatever it was, York had had ample time to secrete it, and it was useless for me to cudgel my brains. At about midnight of the second night the calm was broken, though the creese was very light When morning came, we saw that the whaler had al- . tend her plans and waa bearing op for "It's tJ come durnedtkunk I left there six wecKt ago." and it was with a heavy heart the nor; I bid h goodby. Things ran smoothly up to n, and then it was Haskell who icanK aft and reported to the doctor that at if t three different men in Ben age had developed cases of Johnson the smalkix. Dr. Haxton at once went down to instigate, and a quarter of an hour iat4r he reported that the pesti lence was p-sent in a virulent form. In such aemergeney as this it would hirve been evrything to us to feel that we had a coim)etent physician aboard. It might be saallpox or might be mea sles or the merAnight be shamming. The three men hadfaten heartily at break fast, proving ty had no fever or pre-, monitory symjWis, and the idea of smallpox was aurd. Dr. Haxton not only insisted, fnt with more fervor than I had eveitknown him to use, be fore. The pasAngers were terribly alarmed, as you fnay imagine, but 1 took notice that d a single man among the guards and only tvftnpng the c4w, appeared to be at all anxious'.This fact alone would have satisfied me thaV-ifc . was an understood thing. I said all the passengers were alarmed. I should have made an exception as far as the two young women were concerned. Their pretense of alarm was so transparent that I was not the only one to see through it. We had provided no hospital aboard the bark because the government did not contract for anything of the sort Epidemics were not counted on or pro vided against If one broke out, then let the doctor do the best he could. If the convicts died, well and good.- If they got well, they muBt be turned over to the officials at Botany Bay. Odds was the difference to the government The question with us was, "Is it real- ysmallpox?" Wo were not willing to to his little game.

I did not be lieve the crew as a whole would go into such a thing if they believed that mur der was to be done. They would stipu late that officers and passengers were to be marooned on some island and given a chance for life. They had been well used, well fed and had no grudges to satisfy. They had been led from the path of duty by the smooth talk of the villain York, but they could not wish us harm. I could not be sure that all the crew had entered into the plot There were at least three middle aged, skady going men who hud probably not been ap proached, but this would not help us out much. When the moment of revolt came, they would be looked out for, and when they found tho bark in possession of the mutineers they would be coni- elled to strike hands with them. With e convicts numbering more than throe ono, and with. at least a score of sail- 9 among them, and perhaps at least navigator, it waa easy enough to iitive ut the result. They might not ipiVoon the crew or send them adrift, inirttho chances were even up that they d, retaining only the services of fully realize the state of affairs ust understand a sailor's nature. yoa I 4 Hit if abuse or starvation could hav iven our crew to mutiny.

He was earn that he had an eight ounoe bottle Of the stuff, and jut as sure that other hands than his had removed it from the dis pensary. That settled it with the rest of us, but not with the doctor. He be came indignant that we should question the correctness of his diagnosis, and added that if the patients were not iso lated he should not hold himself re sponsible for results. I have said very little concerning our passengers, male or female, because they were passengers only and had no part or portion in our discussions and worriments. Up to the hour they got word of the sickness below they were totally unsuspicious that danger men aced. When the doctor announced small pox, something had to be done to allay the panic. The passengers were assem bled in the great cabin, and Captain Olark plainly told them in the presence of the doctor that he was not satisfied that a pestilence had appeared. When sure of it, he would take every precau tion to prevent its spread, and he ad vised them to resume the even tenor of their ways until tho question was set tled. He called their attention particu larly to the fact that we had a clean bill of health at the Cape, and th'at no disease of the sort existed there. As every convict had been vaccinated bo fore leaving England, it was simply im possible for a virulent outbreak to occur. Dr. Haxton construed the captain's language as an insult and hotly reiter ated his professional opinion, and there we were, worse off perhaps than as if a pirate ship with the block flag flying and her cutthroat crew at quarters was bearing down on us with the intention to rob, ravish and scuttle.

The animals' hospital is in charge ol the New York College of Veterinary Surgeons, and that, If yoa please, Is part of the University of New York; so that if you wanted to send your dickey-bird there for the pip, he would be in a manner under the shlterlng wing of all the D.D.s and LL.

An old circus Ho was brought here not long ago to hav his ulcerated tooth pulled. Now if th toothache makes yt feel "cross bear," how cross does the toothacke make a live lion feel? . To tell the truth, no one at the hospi tal wanted to know how cross that lion did feel they thought it was a case in which it would be folly to be wise The first thing to be done was to drop nooses of rope on the floor of his cage, and men uraw mem un when hA nut his foot in one he knew he had "put his foot in it" when he found himself snared and so, step by step, get him bound and helpless. If you will think how particularly hard it ia to tie up a cat, you may guess that it is no Joke to make a lion fast; he Is just like a stupendous cat in his agility and slip periness. The only way to render him helpless is to get his hind quarter tied up outside his cage, and his head Douna last witnin it; the next thing for dental work, is to put a gag in his mouth; that is the easier because there is no trouble at all about getting him to open his mouth he does it every time any one goes near him.

Harper's Round Table. An Innocent Culprit. Cape Town, South Africa, claims the honor of possessing the smallest crea ture ever known to have been a gun ner in the Royal Artillery, or anj other artillery. The Brockton Times tens tbe story of its exploit. At the Castle, Cape Town, it appears there is a magnificent gun worked by electric ity, used for giving the 'midday and evening time. One day the military and civilians of Cape Town were surprised to hear the gun go off at half past ten In the morning. The general Command ing the station sent to inquire what such Irregularity meant; the brigade major did the same. The commanding officers of each regiment and battery stationed in Cape Town sent messen gers, but no one could be found upon whom to lay the blame. The oflicials could give no explanation; they were as much surprised as anybody. The general in command of the sta tion became furious at such an unheard-of infringement of discipline. He was sure there was mismanage ment somewhere, or the act could not have been possible. Strict search was ordered to be made, but although the order was carried out to the letter, the culprit remained undiscovered. Then, when the search had been practically abandoned, the little gunner was acci dentally discovered and arrested. There he lay inside the instrument that transmits the electric current from the royal observatory of Cape Town to the great gun. This instrument is called a relay, and is in the central telegraph office of the station. The action of the current going through the instrument's main moves a sort of light tongue which is so finely set that the slightest touch will affect it. The tongue forces the current into what are termed the time fuses, which fire the gun at the castle. Right inside the relay was found the little gunner. He was discovered by an official who was examining the in strument, and who was surprised to see inside a big brown spider. In its ex plorations within the instrument the' spider must have touched the tongue sufficiently to move it, and thus fired off the gun.y The genera' sent the spider to the Cape Town Museum, where it is now to be seen with a eard underneath en titling it, "The Little Gunner," and giving a full account of its exploit with the Cape Town midday gun. Artistic Glassware. An art critic in England speaks most enthusiastically of the glassware th.it Is now being sent to that country ' y the American manufacturers. Candle- sticks are made in exact imitation of tu- j lips, lilies and any flower which ha? a deep cup in which to hold the can dle. Exquisite vases and jardinieras of glass are the recent product of cue American factory. " The rich and ar tistic effect of the ware is described as unique. One slender flower hcWer has the tinting and shape and ptfi.se of a calla lily, and another reproduces the bloom of the rose and has a stein of lb pretty red-brown shade characteristic of the flower. ChrysanthemaiCB. Chrysanthemums originally came from Japan, Corea", China and Si am. Ancient and modern Varieties, taken together, yield something like 2,000, each separately named, and all the re sult of cultivation. In China, chrysan themums must have been grown for ages, for they afford there a general type of architectural ornament. One of the national honors in that country is the "Order of the CJhrysanthsmum." It ia also one of the emblems o tao Japanese empire. "Kik" is what the people of Japan call the chrysanthemum.
