CIIAPTEH XI.
Clarence wns right with regard to the
fettraded movement of the brli { . She
& nded to , nnd came up alongside tlie
fchooner. Her men were at tlie gun.s
( With lighted matches , but they did not
giro. A oou as the grapllngs could be
Ifcnftde fsnt , tlie captain of the brie leaped
j pen the schooner's deck. He was a
Mark , Ipnornnt-looklnR fellow , but pos-
fcwslng not only great brute strength , but
ibppnrently a good degree of boldness.
"Who's commander here ? " the Mexi
can asked.
Max looked nt Clarence , nnd Clarence
taoked at Max ; but the younger man re
felled :
This man , senor , Is captain of the res
rl , but 'twas I * that ordered the the re-
itsac * that has been made. "
"Not by a long shot , ole chap , " uttered
M' , who spoke the language well
"XYre both In the mess. I own the
waft , and I own all the mischief we've
ye ; only 1 must say that Capt'i
more extended knowledge has
a most tremendous help to us. "
And now wouldn't we be serving you
just right to string ye up In the rig
and sink the old craft with ye mil
to her ? " uttered the Mexican
Hither a threatening tone.
"That depends upon whether you care
anything about our cargo or not , " coolly
jSwturced Clarence. "I suppose you'll laid
fObout four thousand dollar * ' worth of
Blander here ; nnd when we resolved to
firfend ourselves , the point In our minds
this : we'll escape if we can and of
you wouldn't bliiinc us for that ,
r'that is the conceded right of even nn
then we thought here , If ne
kfion't escope , our enemies won't rom-
yUin , for four thousand dollars will go
Cortber anipng a feyr captors than among
n'Kwat many. "
"Die. Mexican's face changed its exprci'
wonderfully.
"Eh ? " he uttered. "What's your carr -

"Some furs nice ones ; some provis-
pork , venison ; nnd some
"And Btirrender "
ye now ?
"Of course , " returned Clnrence , " for
had nodded to him to hpeak. "We
as IOIIR IIH wo could , and when
y c found we must be captured , we con
\iiaded \ to give up. "
"Well , " resumed the Mexican , In a re-
Btntlng tone , "lt' lucky for you , perhaps ,
( liot we are none of IIH relatives. Those
fihtt are Rene run their own rink , nnd
fiSiey're got It. I KUOSH we'll have you
( tarried on honrd our vessel nnd put In
ftrons , end then we'll overhaul your craft ,
uad see what we can Hnd. "
In obedience of nn order to this effect ,
{ ft * crew of the schooner were trnMbfer-
pwl to the brlu , nnil there put In Irons.
teie first Impulse of Clarence , upon reach *
QtC the brlK's deck , was to look about
atpon the ri'Hiilt of hltt companions' work.
LKt first be could net- nothing , but an he
la-t his eyes forward , upon the larboard
[ oMe , he saw the dead men gathered there.
, < ! &f course be could not count them , for
rafaey were piled one atop of the other ,
at lie could HIM- that there were a jsreat
irtamber of them. At length be hnd nn
Wliportunlty to ask , and he wan Informed
thirty-nine men bad been killed !
end that only one man had been hit who
iMTTired It ! At tirM the youiiK captain
m < ild hardly credit It ; but then he quick-
5b rvmembered bow unerrliiKly the old
could Hhoot , and when he came
> tvflect upon the number of times they
Sfawl ( ired he had no more to wonder at.
Tlie brig had , prevloim to the chnne ,
iUtty-elsbt men. She bad sailed from
T ra Cruz with slMy , but two of them
'Skad ' been killed In a private fipht Kot up
i-A > r their amusement and exerd e. Con-
( NVientl.v she bad now but nineteen men
fcft ; nnd under thei > o flroumstance- * they
utoarludfd not to allow over three men to
.aaJin the prlre , for UK the schooner would
btftt for BoinethliiR , they wished to RIIVB
Sttr. Three men were easily found who
, iroulil take cbnrKe of the Kchooner. and
when they wore detailed , It left the brlc'H
, t # * > w cut down to sixteen men. Hut they
. "Alt cure that would be enough to curry
tin- vessel mifely Into Vcrn Cruz , for they
could have their prisoners hectircly lion-
oil , HO that no trouble need he apprehend
ed from them.
The sun was down nnd night almost
shut In , when the hist load of stuff was
brought off from the prize , and then the
three men were hcnt on board to take
charge , with Instriiitions to keep at ) near
ns possible to the brig through the night ,
a light being Mispcnded nt the main peak
as a pnldi' .
"Quite n prize , " Raid the Mexican cap
tain , standing upon the chocks on which
the bout stood , mid holding hto lantern
over so that ho co.ild see the bauds nnd
feet of his prisoners. "Your beef and
pork comes quite bandy. "
Clarence would have spoken , but Just
then another of the Mexicans came nnd
stood by the captain's side , nnd took the
lantern. The captalii'H next movement
was to got Into the boat , and when he
hud taken the liuilcrn , the second man
followed his.extiiitii ! " . The prisoners were
nil In the stern-sheets of the boat , where
they pat around facing each other Clar
ence mid Max being upon the extreme af
ter tbwart , facing forward ; then two
more upon each of the side-thwarts ; and
three upon tlie quarter-thwart , who were
facing aft. The captain of the brig htep-
lied over among them , and his lirst move
ment was to examine their Irons , which
he found nil secure.
"Now , gentlemen , " snld he , with a very
peculiar smile , "you must pardon me for
my suspicions , but i must examine you
to see If you have any concealed weapons.
Scnnr you Ilrst ; stand , If you plenhc. "
This was spoken to Clarence , who
arovo at once. Tlie captain passed bis
dingy bands over bis pockets and bo-om ,
nnd the lirst Ibing of Importance be no
tlced was Clarence's watch , which be
pulled out. It was a gold-cased chro
nometer.
"Do you call thnt n weapon ? " our hero
asked , unable to repress the smile which
the fellow's cupidity called up.
"Hatber dangerous , " the Moxlcnn re
sponded , with n very suggestive wink.
"Tills must be n valuable one. "
i paid two hundred and twenty-lnc
dollars for It , Kenor. "
"It Is valuable. "
"Which Is equivalent to dangerous , I
suppose , "
"Certainly ; for there Is hardly a man In
my crew who would , not cut your throat
before morning to procure It. "
Clarence did not doubt this at all. But
his nether lip quivered a little when the
villain run Ills dirty hand down into ills
pocket and drew up his purse , though he
said nothing.
"Aha gold here , too , " the captain ut
tered , ns the yellow coin gleamed upon
his sparkling eyes. "I'll Keep it for you
until jou get out of the Vera Cruz pris
on. "
Having thus gathered all the "weap
ons" from Howard's pcrt > ou , he turned
next to Max.
"Ye won't find much here , " the old
man said.
"Perhaps not , " returned the Mexican ,
at the same time drawing a heavy silver
xvateh from his fob. "This Is something ,
however. "
He found n large clasp-knife , also , upon
Max , and then he turned to the next. And
in this way he went round. He found
no more watches and but little mote
money , Peter being the only other one
who had enough worth taking.
"And now I'll bid you good-night , " the
collector said , as he stepped into tlie
waist of the boat. "If it should happen
to rain we'll draw the tarpaulin over
on. "
Clarence watched the move of things
ery carefully , and nl-o kept his ears
ell open. The captain , whose mime
he prisoners had found to he Mlgdon ,
ailed his men together and set them olT
ute new watches , and having given them
inrticiilnr directions respecting the In-
militants of the long boat , he directed
Item to assist him in burying the dead ,
fliey did not stop to sew them up in any
clud of winding-sheets , but simply lasli-
ng a double-headed shot to the feet of
ach body , they were cast over without
eremony of any sort.
"They might have read n nrnver. "
lested Max , turning In disgust from Hit
cene.
"Poor wretches , " returned Clarence , "I
oubt If they ever heard one. Couli
ome transmigrating power clinnge then

irgniiM of speech , 1 don't believe their
tresent souls would be much oliovp their
itatlons. Did you notice them ? If thej'i
'
'omul ' our vessel with nothing of value'oi
loard , they'd have cut our throutu wlH
nil the pleasure Imaginable. "
"Snrtln they would , " said Max.
Ily ten o'clock some of the prisoners
vere asleep , and by mlili.lght even oU
Max had given up to the somnllic inllu
nee of drowblneKs and fatigue. On the
following morning they weie freed fron
heir Irons , one nt n time , and allowed ten
ninutes * liberty , nnd after their bieak-
fast was brought to them , a large pan of
"ilack tortillas n kind of corn cake be-
ng set down In their mld t , \\llli a pall
of water , and a dipper formed of half n
cocnnnut shell uitli a long wooden handle
o it. The prisoners weie hungry , and
he pan was quickly cleared , there having
> eeu two cakes allowed for e.ieli man.
TjiU snme tiling was done again at
noon , and again at night , 1'ut there was
one thing occurred that had not been
'minted on. .Tn < t as the sun went down
the wind on me out from the east'rd and
lilew fresh. Mlgdon came nnd examined
the prisoners , naturnlly casting his eyes 1
about the boat to see that all eUe was 1
right , and as he stepped down he wns '
heard to say to one of his iieii | :
"All safe enough , lly the cross , they
can't get out of that ! "
"Perhaps we can't , " whispered Clar
ence , at the same time giving Max a poke
with his elbow. "Hut I'll tell you what. " '
he ndded some time afterward * , "if thin
wind holds so , we've got to do something f
to-night , for we're running olT leu knotx t
now , cure ; nnd on the tni" oourMe , too ,
Keep your eyes open , my men. for out r
ohnnee may come noon. Uon't you see -

place the fullent confidence In their Irons

"I believe ye , capt'n. "
"Then look ye 'shl Get out your files
vhen give the signal , find be sure that
on mnke no noise. I2ach man must
vork upon his companion's Irons , for he
annot work upon his own. Don't sleep ,
low only be ready to pretend It If nuy-
) ody ooini's. Ix't the man next to ye get
our file out for you. Now keep your
yes open. We won't wait long. "
So there they sat all ready for com-
lenclng the work that wns to set them
roe If fortune deserted them not. It Is
o wonder that their hearts bent rapidly ,
or surely the stoutest man may find ex-
Itemont under such circumstances.
CHAPTKU XII.
The first hours of tlie night passed
lowly , heavily away. The bell was not
truck at the regular half hours , but only
vhen It was time to call a new watch
et Clarence judged it was about eleven
vhen lie bade Max hold out his luuulH.
le had set the blade of his saw , nnd only
vnlied for the opportunity to use It. lie
gazed carefully nbout the deck , nnd he
VHH sure there was no one near * the boat.
Carefully he applied his saw to the swivel
f Winter's hand irons. The tiny teeth
ook hold keenly upon the soft Iron , and
t the end ofa minute the swivel was
epnrnted nnd Max's hands free.
"We'll have to leave the rings on our
vrists nnd ankles , " whispered Clarence ;
'but that will do uo hnrra. Here now
nko off mine. "
Max placed t ho saw at the proper
ilnce , and though he wns somewhat
onger nt the work than Clarence hnd
H-eu , yet he did It well. The next move-
neitt was to saw off the irons from the
inkles ; or , rather , to saw them apart
ind this was done without exciting any
usplclon from the watch. The small lilus
hat the men had did not work so well
is could have been wished , and Clarence
at once proposed using the saws for the
vhole work. He sawed uff Peter's
shackles himself , while Max was at work
ipou Sloan's. Sloan next took the saw
ind freed the men next to him , while
the boy did the same for his companion.
At length the work was complete all
the prisoners were free. To be sure the
ings were upon their wrists and ankles ,
mt they were no longer connected , nnd
he chains were removed. Hut this had
lot been done without anxiety , for the
irisoners had been interrupted many
.lines , and once or twice they came near
leing detected , one of the Mexicans hnv-
ng come to see if the noise he had heard
lad come from the boat ; but all hands
ippeared to be fast asleep when he
came , and he went nwaj satisfied.
"And now , " tlie young captain said.
"we must have some weapons when we
eave the boat. "
" sh ! " uttered Peter. "Perhaps I can
get out. There are four Iron belaying
pins that I can get , for they are not in
use now , nnd with care F think I could
get out. "
"Hold on , " said the 'old man , Adams ,
raising his hand to demand attention.
"There's something In the bows of the
lioat ; if Peter could crawl along under
: he thwarts without making any noise ,
lie'd find 'em only a little ways from
where I am. " .
The boy said he could do It , nnd he nt
once set about the work. Slowly and
noiselessly he crawled along upon his
liands and kuee.s , and when he reached
the place designated by the old man , he
found a pile of small wooden rollers ; they
were made of some very hard wood , and
were evidently used for moving ponder
ous bodies about the deck. The boy
handed up eight of them , and there were
four left He wanted none for himself ,
for his first work was to gather cords of
some kind for binding the Mexicans.
Tlie clubs bad been passed up , nnd
Peter hnd nearly regained his sent , when
a chance movement caused his foot to
slip , nnd as he came down there wns
some rattling of irons. One of the watch
came to the boat and looked in.
"Where's the boy ? " he asked , with
some show of fear.
"Kh ? " groaned Clarence , yawning nnd
stretching ns if he were just waking up ,
but being careful So keep bis hands clasp
ed. "What Is it ? "
"Where's the boy ? " the man repeated.
"Ah he's laid down here on the Moor
ing nt our feet. Poor fellow he don't
take It very easily. He ain't us > ed to buch
conlinement. "
The man looked over nnd saw the boy
lying there at the feet of bis companions
and having taken one more survey of the
party , went off again.
It was now so near midiiiirht tbnt
Clarence concluded to wait until the oth
er watch had been culled ; nnd It wns well
be did so , for hardly bad their minds
been m.ide up to that effect when the
boatswain's mate sounded his shrill whis
tle. The prisoners nil placed their hands
nnd feet together , and then laid their
bends back as though asleep. Captain *
Mlgdon came on deck , but he did not
come to the boat. He simply saw that
the brig bad the wind Mill fresh upon
the beam , and that she was going through
the water at the rate of about ten knots.
In fifteen minutes nil wns still again ;
but the prisoners chose to wait until they
were sure the off watch would be asleep.
So they waited half an hour , nnd then
Clarence asked Mux If he would go
ahead.
"I'll go nhend quick enough , " returned
Max ; "but 1' want you to litleader. . You
know more about this kind of work than
1 do. "
Clarence Hownrd was modest , but he
would not sacrifice bis life to that poliie
principle , so he took command of the ex
pedition , feeling sure that bis experience
In maritime warfare would enable him to
take advantage of things that might es
cape Winter's notice.
"Onther up your clubs ! " he whispered.
They did so.
"Peter , you will be ready with Hues
when wanted. "
"Yes. sir. "
"And now , here , Mae Wayne , yon will
let jonrself over the hide of the l oat ns ,
soon ns we get out , and work It so thnt
they shnll think you bnve fallen. Of
course they will hasten to your assistance.
Leap to your feet the moment they reach
you and be sure we will be on hand
Come ; be careful. Steady now , and the
brig Is ours ! "
With these words , ClnreiK'e Howard let
himself noiselessly down upon the deck
on the lee side. Max followed next , and
Jack Sloan next. The wnicb were all ont
the weather hide of the deck , nnd they
. saw none of these movements. lire long
Mao Wayne was left alone In the boat ,
and on tlie next moment he jumped out
on tlie weather side , nnd allowi-d himself
. to fall over upon the deck. The lu&tnnt
lie btruck the deck all handff , k-av Ui
helmsman , darted towards him. 'Die mo
ment they had passed the mainmast ,
Clarence started , and tlie wnlrlnj ; Ynn
kees rushed upon them. Those heavy
clubs did the work well , for one blow ,
fairly dealt upon the head , was sure to
level the poor fellow who received It.
At nn order from the leader , Sloan
hastened to the forward hatchway , nnd
there he knocked the other wntch down
ns fn t I\H \ they attempted to come up.
The plnce was not fairly wide enough for
two to come up nbrenst , so that . /nek's /
work wns compnrntlvely ensy , for the
light woolen caps which the Mexicans
wore upon their bends offered no resist/
nucc to the blows of the heavy dub.

. FARMING 1H WESTERN GAHADA.
The Great Natural Fertility ( f tlie So ! ) la
Manitoba , Asslnibola , Saskalcbc *
wan and Alberta.
What Has Boon Done by Promlor
Groonway , Himself a Load
ing Furmor.
Hon. Thomas Greenway , Premier of
tliq Province of Manitoba , one of the
foremost farmers of Western Ciinnilu ,
writes nn excellent article to tlie press ,
from which the following extracts are
made :
The writer came to Manitoba from
Ontario In the autumn of 1878 , and has
ever since been engaged In agricul
tural pursuits. From the day , nearly
twenty-two yearn ago , when he select
ed hlK homestead , he has had unbound-
d faith In the country as a place where
farming can be successfully carried
on , If pursued upon proper Hues. There
Is a large number In this province who
should rather be called "wheat grow
ers" than farmers. On account of the
facilities , natural advantages , and
therefore cheapness with which wheat
can be grown , no doubt many have
done exceedingly well by raising wheat
only ; still , It Is far from Ideal farming.
Not only will such a course , If persist
ed In , have the effect of causing the
land to run out , as has been the expe
rience of those who pursued the same
plan In the wheat-producing prairie
States to the south of us , but It Is far
from being the most profitable course
to adopt.
This fact Is already being demon
strated In Manitoba. Let the farms In
this Western country be managed upon
the lines which were successful In the
Kasteru provinces , and much more can
be done here In a given time than was
ever done In the East. The probabili
ties of failure are practically nil. Upou
the farm there should be found liorses.
cattle , sheep , hogs and poultry. accordIng -
Ing to the ability of the farmer with
respect to his means and the extent of
his holding. 'The wanton waste which
has hitherto been practiced by many
farmers , that of burning vast quanti
ties of excellent fodder after threshing
Is done , should cease ; It should all be
used upon the farm and converted Into
the old sensible kind of fertilizer ma
nure , and afterwards be returned to
the soil , so that what has been taken
from It by the crop may be restored.
Although admitting that the great nat
ural fertility of the soil in Manitoba
and the success that has attended the
growing of wheat after wheat for
years upon the same land have a ten
dency to make such a course as the
one mentioned tempting , yet , If contln-
ed , wheat growing upon the hame
land year after year Is undoubtedly a
mistake.
The writer knows of no country that
offers advantages so great to the agri
culturist as does Manitoba. The vari
ous branches of farming can be carried
on successfully , as twenty-two years of
practical operations and observations
of what others are doing have proven.
To those desiring to make : iew homes
for themselves , the low price of tome
of the best lands In the world ( al
though rapidly advancing In price this
year ) offer still great opportunities. To
all such the Invitation Is cordially
given to "come and see. " There need
be no poor people here. There is land
for all who choose to come , land upon
which hnppy homes can be e8tabliiine
and from which ample resources ca
be gathered against old age. All that
man needs to achieve competence 1
this domain Is common sense and in
dustry. With these qualification ! b
Is bound to succeed.
Particulars of these lands , and b n
to obtain them , may be had on applV

Means misery on the eve of life. Nine out
of ten old people are constipated because the
muscles of their intestines have become
weak , worn out and flabby. Constipation
is the curse of old age , causes bile and
acid poisons to remain in the blood , making
the skin yellow and wrinkled , the eyes
bleary and causing the "bones to ache. "

nesses. No reason why grandpa and
grandma shouldn't have bright eyes , and
clear , ruddy skin and feel lively and active ,
if they will only keep their bowels open and
vigorous with CASCARETS CANDY

box a whole month's treatment and find
that the tortures of constipated old age arc
