llradlong wo stumbled over piles of
lava ; now wo nank an kin dee ] ) among
the soft punilro dust ; anon wo rolled ,
fell or scrambled through wild vines
and creepers ; then through fleldn of
growing inal/.e and wheat , or planta
tions of coffee and appio trees ; but
never pausing until wo reached the
Imoo of the mighty i'lton , where ,
breathless , gat ping , panting and bulli
ed In perspiration , we lay down in a
little thicket of cinnamon hushes by
the waysldo to rest for n short space.
During this ( light I bad never spok
en , but Torn fiom time to time indulg
ed in disjointed remaikH expressive of
an exultation In which I could not
share , being only thankful to heaven
for my escape. Hut poor Tom had
eon more of a rough life , and of many
a violent death , than It could possibly
Imvo been my lot to witness.
"Ha , ba ! yon Spanish swabs ! We've
slung two of your hammocks in a hot
place before the time , perhaps ! " said
he. "What a row they make , like so
many negroes clearing a cargo when
we sheered off ! Lucky It was that I
eased off mil1 low lines In tlmo ! I
have a good inlnil to put about , stand
for the cave and pol another of those
Spanish gorillas ! "
Whether be meant guerrillas I did
nol inquire , hul was happy when wo
reached the harbor and I felt the cool
breeze of the ocean fan my throbbing
temples and my h'ands , which , from be
ing so long and HO lightly tied with
rough cords , and having the blood aft
erward driven through them by rapid
exertion , felt literally burning hot.
All was dark andBtlll when we ran
along Iho stone mole of Santa Cruz.
Fortunately at that late hour there was
no olllclal to question or molcsl us ; and
wo could see Iho brig anchored about
half u mile diBtanl , with the lanlern
still burning al Iho foromasthcad. The
light on the castle had disappeared.
We soon found a small punt at the
landing stairs , and , taking possession
of 11 without leave , cast loose the
painter and shoved off.
Silently and steadily , with all our
remaining strength , wo pulled for the
brig , and were soon alongside.
"Well , this spree Is over , Master
Hodnoy , " said Tattooed Tom , wiping
his brow with hla sleeve when wo
stood on the deck , where the wonderIng -
Ing crow gathered around us ; "but
catch me Imvlng another in this
deuced Tenny Reef Hint's all ! "
CHAPTER XII.
The Anchor A-Peak.
Alarmed by the foregoing narrative ,
which was fully corroborated by our
excitement , by the two muskets ' < ve
had brought on board as trophies , by
the stale of our hands and wrists , and
the numerous cuts and bruises wo had
upon us ; and fearing the consequent
detention of the brig for some Jegal in
quiry , Captain Wcston prepared al
once for pulling to sea.
I was happy when finding myself on
the deck of Iho Eugenie , bnl sllll more
supremely happy on hearing Wosto'n's
resolution to get underway , as 1 pos
sessed very vague but decidedly un
pleasant ideas of Spanish justice , nnd
had visions of alcaldes , alguazlls ,
wheels , garrotes , and oven Iho masked
familiars of Iho Inquisition itself ,
dealing before mo.
My heart boat responsive to the clank
of the windlass pawls , as the Eugenie
was hove short on her anchor , and the
hands started aloft to east loose Iho
topsails.
Wcslon throw our two muskets into
the sea lesl their discovery on board
might cause suspicion or annoyance.
The morning was clear , cool and
starry ; as yet no vesligo of dawn was
visible , and all was still and quiet on
shore ; bill 1 was In momentary expec
tation of Boeing a boat dash off toward
us , though Ihoso from whom wo had
escaped could have no just cause of
complaint.
Suddenly I heard the sound of oars ,
and saw a long , low boal shoot out
from the obscurity of the harbor. My
heart Blood sllll for a moment as Ibis
crafl was steered In our direction , but
lo my Infinite relief. It boarded u Costa
Rican lhat lay near us.
As yet the shadows of night were on
land and sen on everything save the
cone of the Peak that towered above
the clouds , and there shown the light
of the yet nnrlsen sun , yellow deepen
ing into saffron , purple , blue , and then
imllgo , blending with the blackness of
night as Iho eye descended to the
shore.
So Wcston gave the order to brace
the foroyards aback and the maiuynrds
full ; another wrench at Hie windlass ,
and tlie anchor was tripped.
"Heavo and n-wash ! " cried Tom
Lambourne , cheerily , giving ihe usual
call of encouragement when the drip
ping anchoring is jusl oul of the water
nnd the stock Is seen to stir the sur
face.
face.Tho
The courses wore lot fall and the Jib
was hoisted ; her bend fell rapidly
round nnd she paid off bravely. 'Hion
the firoy cone of the Plton and the
lights of Santa Cruz , which had glit
tered in tremulous llnea along the - water
ter on our beam , wore shining upon
our lee quarter.
"Pill nwny the heudyards hand
somely now ! " cried Weston , nnd just
as Ihe flrsl streak of day , coming on
with tropical rapidity , began to bright
en the horizon and shed long , shiny
ripples on Iho hca , the canvas swelled
out , the reef polnls began to patter
on the IniU bosom of every snow-white
Bail , and Ihe loose rigging was blown
out In graceful bends.
There was a line breeze rising ; the
white water rippled under the fore
foot of the Eugenie , and soon It boiled
In foam as wo sheeted homo the top
sails and ran along the western shore
of Iho mountain isle.
About the same lime the Costa Rlc.nn
brig which was at anchor nearer the
shore ( a smart craft she was , slralghl
In the bends , nnd all black , save a yel
low streak ) , also got ready for sea
with great expedition , and worked out
of the harbor ; and when the hot sun ,
which crowhllo bad 111 up Ihe vasl
continent of Africa to the cast of us ,
rose fiom the ocean , wo saw her black
hull and white canvas shining in his
morning rays about a mile astern.
"You say , Marc , thai crafl is a Cosla
Rican ? " said Wcston , doubtfully.
"Yen , rdr , " replied Hislop.
"She may bo ; but she Is also a Span
ish dealer in black cattle , " said Wcs
ton , who was looking al her through
a powerful double-barreled glass. "I
am ccrlaln if you could only see her
deck when she careens a bil , you would
make oul the ring-bolts for lashing
Iho slaves lo in fine weather. "
"Aye , and perhaps those of the ear-
ronades , too , " added IIlolop ; "she
looks rather rakish. "
"You are just of my mind , sir , " ad
ded Tom Lambpnrno , who was al Ihe
wheel. "She'll , see Iho Shark's Nose
and Iho , Congo river before she sees
the Mosquito creeks or the hills of
Costa Rica ; and 1 have a shrewd no
tion thai Iho plrales wo escaped from
are parl of her crow , if one may judge
from what Master Rodney , who knows
tholr lingo , overboard them say. "
Except across the Peak of Tencrlffe ,
where a cloud of while vapor Honied
In mid-air like a permanent cymnr or
girdle , and above which some thou
sand feet of the mighty cone lowered
into the blue immensity of space , mel
lowing from green nnd purple to a
faint gray tint , the sky was without a
cloud.
The waves danced and sparkled In
tbe morning sunshine , Iho fresh breeze
swepl pleasantly over their whitening
tops and whistled through our rigging ,
as wo ran along the shore with consid
erable speed ; nnd now our hearts heal
lightly , for the broad , free ocean was
around us , nnd on clearing Iho dan
gerous rocks at Punta do Anaga by
giving Ihcm a wide berth , we fell Ihe
heavier swell of Hie Atlantic ns we
brought the larboard tacks on board ,
nnd ran , close-hauled , on a taul bow
line between the Isles of Tcneriffe and
Pnlma , keeping the wcatherage of Ihe
Costa Rican , and leaving her al Ihe
same lime fnsl nnd far astern.
* Wo had a delightful run through the
fertile Archipelago of the Fortunate
Isles , and , after clearing San Josef ,
found the wind coming more aft. Long
after night had closed In and darkness
had enveloped all Iho sea and Iho Isle
of Tcnorlffe , Iho cone of Iho peak
shone redly In midair , with the llghl
of Iho sun that hud sot In the western
waters of the Atlantic.
For the whole of that day wo had
run fast through Iho walcr , making al
least seven knots tin hour off the log-
line , but midnight came before we saw
the last of the mighty Peak of Adam.
CHAPTER XIII.
An Incident.
By Iho lime wo had been a month
at sea , having applied myself assidu
ously to work , I picked up n little
knowledge of seamanship. I took my
turn of watch with the rest ; I learned
to go aloft and to llo upon a yard In
a stift topgallant breeze. I acquired all
the mysteries of knotting and splicing ,
of serving a rope with spun-yarn.nnd to
know the technical difference between
the rope itself and n lino. I could
heave the log.box the compass nnd lake
my "trick" at the helm with the best
man on board , and thus gained the
golden opinions of those among whom
a rough turn of the wheel of fortune
had so strangely nnd so suddenly cust
me.
me.Somo
Some days after leaving the Cana
ries wo found ourselves passing
through what scorned to bo immense
meadows of green stuff adrift. By
moonlight the branches , leaves nnd
fibers of this uprooted marine forest
for such It was , being wrack nnd sea
weeds of wondrous length springing
fiom the lowest depths of the ocean
sparkled , flashed and whirled in the
foaming eddies astern of the brig ns
she cleft or brushed down the yielding
masses with her rushing kcol.
I was never weary of surveying this
scene , which was so marvelous In ila
beauty , when the moon was shining on
the sen.
These vast , broad leaves and long ,
snaky tendrils tlml danced upon Iho
surface of the sea wore the Florida
gulf-weed ,
"Tho tropical grape of the sailors , "
said Hislop , ns wo loaned over the loo-
quarter ono night. "Those plants grow
upon the two great banks of the At
lantic , nnd wore known to the Phoe
nicians , wbo named thorn the Weedy
Sen. "
"I remember , " said I ; "nnd lhat the
seamen of Columbus thought thej
were scnl by heaven lo slay Iheli
course. "
"You are right , " replied the mate
with an approving smile , "tt Is pleats
ant to meet one like you , Rodney , whc
has read that which is worth reading
and remembers it. "
"Tho Gulf Stream , " said Wcston
Joining In the conversation , "is n greal
current about sixty miles broad
caused by the trade winds , which al
ways blow from cast to west. It Is
sues from the Gulf between Capo Flor
ida and Cuba , nnd runs at the rate ol
Ihrco knolB nn hour along the shores
of South and North America , till the
Newfoundland bank turns it lo llic
southeast ; so everywhere Its track Is
known by tlml gulf-weed which you
now see floating past. "
It is by ibis mysterious current
thin mighty river that traverses the
ocean Hint the timber logs of tbe St.
Lawrence , the wrecks of the old plate
argosies , and the carved idols of older
Mexico and Iho Caribbean Isles , nil
covered wllli Ihe weeds and barnacles
of long Immersion , have been casl
upon the western shores of Scotland
and the Hebrides.
Every morning the weather became
\\armer the sea nnd sky more clear
Iho atmosphere more rarefied. The
wind was so steady that scarcely n
sheet or tack was altered. Thus for
several days wo bore on with both
sheets aft , as the phrase Is , when run
ning right before the wind.
Shoals of porpoises plunged across
the bows of the brig in Hie sapphire-
colored sea , and when it was smooth
a whole Heel of Iho lilllc nnullli
passed us with purple sails up ; nor
were the dark nnd gliding sharks nnd
the silvery flying-fish wanting at times
to keep my attention excited ; and the
tiny petrels , as they cnmo tripping
along , half in the water and half in
the air , kept pace with the Eugenie ,
as she cracked on under a press of
sail , dashing the waves around her ,
ploughing so freely and so fearlessly
the deep waters that hide a finny world
and wash the dark and unknown base
ments of the earth.
One glorious morning , when wo were
within a few days' sail of Hlspaniola ,
there occurred n circumstance which
was afterward a source of the deepest
regret lo us nil ; how nnd why , will bo
shown during Iho progress of my story.
The day was fine , even for that re
gion of fine days. The Eugenie was
running smoothly before the wind , and
Hislop , with considerable animation ,
was detailing to the captain and me
the appearance of that rare phenome
non , a lunar rainbow , which , by sin
gular good fortune , he had once seen
in these Intiludes , and which Aristotle
declares Is never seen but at the tlmo
of the full moon a declaration which
our learned Scotch mate Irealed with
contempl ; for ho was a strange fel
low , Ihis Marc Hislop , and could with
equal facility dilate on the Apology of
Plato and the method of club-hauling
a square-rigged vessel , or sheering her
to her anchor in a gale of wind ; on
the Prometheus of Eschylus , or the
proper mode of lying too in a hurri
cane , with everything struck aloft , and
topsail yards on the cap ; and now , on
the subject of the lunar rainbow , ho
was proceeding to quote from the
Portuguese Pilot of Rnmusio , when
Wcslon interrupted him by hailing
aloft :
"Fore-lop there ! "
"Aye , aye , sir , " was the usual re
sponse from Ned Carlton , n seaman
who was perched In the top.

AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST ,
Tommy IIn ( | Found the Almnnfto In tlin
Garret.
This occurred just before Ihe last
full moon at n pretly residence on
Trumbull avenue , says Ihe Delrolt Free
Press. The head of the house is of a
scientific turn of mind , loves to inves
tigate the phenomena of nature and
takes It as n part of his duly lo Impart
his knowledge to the rest of Ibo fam
ily. On Iho night in question ho found
nn almanac on the table , which ho
reads. Turning the leave * , carelessly
while thinking about going to bed , ho
was surprised to como upon the In
formation thai Ihoro was to bo an
almost total ecllpso of the moon that
night , and that it would bo visible
from this part of the globe at 1 a. m.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks , who had retired ,
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits of glass and wont to
smoking thorn , Jtibt as though it were
the blazing sun which was to bo
viewed. This done ho watched the
clock vigilantly until It Wns time to
wnko the others. They had none of
his enthusiasm , but went yawning nnd
shivering to the back porch , from
which Iho best view Avns to bo ob
tained. The moon never looked bright
er than 11 did at 1 o'clock. It must
bo tlml the almanac meant 1 o'clock
standard tlmo , ho explained nervously ,
and for another half-hour ho kept his
eyes glued on the silvery orb. Not a
spot darkened its surface. Ton min
utes later his wife mutinied nnd her
sleepy brood followed her into Iho
house , despite his protest Ho fol
lowed them nnd again took up the al
manac. "Found that in the ntllc to
day , " explained C-year-old Tommy.
Slowly the father read aloud from Iho
back until ho cnmo to "eighteen hun

book to fragments nnd began saying
things that caused the mother to rush
the children upstairs.

STORY OF THE TRICOLOR.
Wkou tlie FtiKVHR 1'lMt Adopted U
Frnnce.
The exaltation of the red , white and
1 luo In France came in 1789 , when , on
( he 14 Ih of July , a clvle guard of 10-
100 men was raised and the colors ol
the arms of Paris were adopted. The
white galley on a red field , with three
golden blue stripe ,
fleur-dc-lls on a
were converted , at Iho insllgallon of
Lafayette , into the tricolor , the white
to dignify- the inheritance of the Bour
bon flag. For over n ceritury it has
boon the flag of France , ns the Na
poleons of the first nnd second empire
only placed nn eagle on the while slrlp
and covered with golden bees Iho red
and the blue. I3ut even over what
seems the simple arrangement of the
three colors there has been much
haggling and changing. The stripes
are vertical , nnd in 1790 il was decreed
lhat red should bo placed next the
staff ; four and n half years later "the
hoist must bo blue , the center whits
the fly red , " was the order of the na-
lional assembly. In 1848 this "much
ado about nothing" was perpetuated
by the order of Ihe provisional gov
ernment , "blue , red , while , " bul two
days later the flag came back to "As
you were , " in spite of n very general
feeling for the return of Ihe oriflamme ,
or plain red flag. Louis Blanc nnd
many others wore in favor of It , but
Lamnrtine mosl eloquently opposed Its
adoption in his famous speech : "Citi
zens , I will reject even unto death this
banner of blood , and you should repu
diate it still more than myself , for
this red flag you offer us has only
made Ihe circuit of the Champs do
Mars bathed In the blood of the people
ple , while the tricolor has made the
circuit of the world with the name , the
glory , and the liberty of your coun
try , " and so carried his point. In de
fense , Louis Blanc recalled that La-
fayelio , a good republican , had , in
1789 , nssocialed Hie royal while with
the Parisian red and blue , but that no
vestige of royal power was now want
ed ; and , at last , a compromise was ef
fected by placing a red rosetle on Iho
tricolor. Philad61phla Ledger.

During the last twenty years our
population has been passing through a
period of awakening in regard to the
usages of civilized countries , with the
result that the public point of view
has been astonishingly readjusted ,
says Scribner's. The people are , so to
speak , tumbling over each other In
their haste to adopt old-world social
customs , and the paragrapher who-
lolls us that the wife of the chief mag
istrate wears blue novelty silk waists
lo the thealer , made by ono of her fa
miliar friends , makes a point of assur
ing us thai Ihe dressmaker In quesllon
is herself "a leading soclely woman. "
Our public press is rlfo with society
cant nnd society gossip nnd justifies Ihe
practice on the plea thai Iho plain
people are absorbed in Ihe contempla
tion of the doings and the dresses of
these whom they know only by hear
say , evep. ns an Englishwoman will run
the risk of apoplexy In order to catch
a passing glimpse of her sovereign. Of
Ihls appelilo for social lillle-lattle Ihe
wealthy class seems disposed to take
every advantage , pluming itself on its
now importance to the point whore It
is constantly Irylng lo devise some
new exlravngance or inanity. But this
is not the spirit of the United States ,
nor are these the besl Americans. Our
nallon is slrango Is Ihls respect We
wear our fanlls upon our sleeves , or ,
ralhcr , we suffer n surface populallon
lo belie us in various walks of life.
That is the reason why the foreigners
who come over hero and try to amass
the materials for n book in a few
months fall to understand us as wo
really aro. They are led by superficial
ly prominent indications to believe
many things which are true only of a
limited portlo' of the population , and
they fail to perceive the slurdiness of
cbnraclcr , the independence of view
and Ihe social charm which distinguish
a largo and constantly increasing portion
tion of the American people , who are
neither extravagant plutocrats nor vul
gar braggarts nnd dcspisers of civilized
pracllces.
Ho Dot Them.
"One of the best reasons given for

A BRAVE COLONEL.
RECOMMENDS PE-RU-NA AS A
FAMILY MEDICINE.
A Scientific Spring Medicine and Remedy
fur Cntnrrli nnd Stomach Trouble.
Colonel Arthur L. Hamilton , ot the
Seventh Ohio Volunteers , 259 Goodalo
street Columbus , Ohio , writes : "Be

Colonel Hamilton , 6f Columbus , O.
have a number of friends who have
taken it , for catarrh and stomach
trouble , and all unite In praising it.
As a remedy for catarrh I can fully
recommend it. " Mrs. Hamilton , wife
of Iho gallant colonel , is an ardent
friend of Po-ru-na also. In a loller
on the subject , she writes : "I have
been taking Pc-ru-na for some time ,
and I am enjoying better health now
than I have for years. I atlrlbulo the
change In my health to Pe-ru-na , and
recommend this excellent catarrh
remedy to every woman , believing It
to bo especially beneficial to them. "
The spring-time is the most favor
able time of the year to treat catarrh.
There is so much less liability to take
fresh cold that the treatment is un
impeded. All old
cases of chronic ca
tarrh should begin
immediately a
course of Po-ru-na
as directed in Dr.
Hartman's books
on this disease.
There are so many
different phases
and stages of ca
tarrh that ono
hardly knows1
when ho has It A
great many people Mrs. Col. Hamilton ,
think they are suffering from some
thing else nnd have tried many medi
cines In vain , when if they could real
ize that it is catarrh and take Pe-ru-na
for it they would improve promptly
and soon recover entirely. There are
no substilules. Let no ono persuade
you there are other catarrh remedies
