If a man is going to commit a crime during his lifetime the chances are that he will do it at the age of twenty-nine. It is a curious fact that statistics have shown that man is more danger ous at this period of his life than at any other. The majority of criminals in the state of New York have for some time been of this ago. The general supposi tion is that a man has attained the highest development of their mental and physical powers at twenty-nine , and they are sup posed to be able to distinguish between right and wrong and to realize the consequences liable to follow the indulgence of either. Next to the age of twenty-nine the greatest number of criminals have been twenty-one , twenty- seven or forty-five years of age. The intervening years , in which men do not commit as many cimcs , have not been explained by ex pert criminologists who havi made investigations proving tin- above statements to be true and ; 1 who are still working on a solu tion of the problem.

OGtf CiARixrfi : DIXGU : . A Desperate Chance BY J. C. PLUMMER. ( Copyright , 1M7. l > y Unlly Storj 1'uli. Co ) Wo wore standing , or nil her , sit ting nnd lounging out the dogwatch on the Novn Scot inn hark IVtrel. It was ono of thofct1 periods which fits into the hard cheerless lifo of the Penman like u piece of mosaic. A period when the faithful trade winds iill the snils until they went modeled out of marble nnd when one nerd not liiy hand on the braces once in 'H hour ? . When , Mm Homiolt spat his quid j over the rail wo composed ourselves for n yarn for Jim , in his fiO years of ; lifo , a brine-pickled and xvhiskey- | soaked life , had seen much. | "I came ashore in Charleston from u lime juii-or once , " ho began , "and eel about getting rid of my money as fast as I could. 1 found a plenty to help me spend it , and one day I stood in Murphy's hoarding Itouso without ( enough to buy a drink and was xvon- 1 dcring when thul red-nosed Irish- 1' ' mini would kick mo out on ( ho street , jit was between cotton seasons and lihcrc were no square-riggers in port , 1 while the coasters had their crews all engaged for the round passage. 1 couldn't get a ship for love or money. "J was standing with my hands in I my pockets and my hack to the bar for 1 hated to sco the stuff going down other people's throats when 1 hadn't the price of a half glass. A man came in from the street and 1 looked at him out of the tail of my oyp mill then stared back at the street. Jle was surely neither a sea faring iian ) nor u shipping master and I felt little interest in anybody t'l.-o. The man looked around the ! room and came over to where I was standing. " ' \Vant a ship , my lad ? ' ho said. "J told him I did and hloomin' jad , too. " 'Well , ' ho says , "t can give you a jorlh on a steam yacht. Twenty-j live dollars n month , only quarter- nastcrV work to do and going to a warm climate. ' "He needn't have said all that. I'd have taken a job as cook on a mud scow right then , so 1 says I'd go. "Then ho treated nnd , boys , 1 never seen a man drink like that fol low in my life. lie had everybody in the place drunk from .Murphy down when we started for the wharves. 1 don't know whether 1 walked or went in a balloon , but when I woke up next morning and crawled on deck with a hornet's nest buz/ing in my head we were outside of Charleston bar and a steaming south. The steamer was about fiOO tons , sharp built in the hews anil looked good for speed but nothing like a yacht. " 'What sort of a bloomin' yacht is this anyway ? ' says 1 to the first , man r mot on tlie forecastle. ' "Vacht , nothing/ says ho. 'I s'pose you thought you were to take care of Foino meelonare on a voyage for his health to the West Imlces. Ycr on a bloody filibuster , hid , car rying guns to them lousy patriots 'that's ' u fightin' for liberty and free 1 garlic in Cuba. ' " 'Well , ' says I , kind of cocky like , ' 'what's the diU'ercnco whether you're ' cnrryin. ' cotton to n bloody Liverpool spinner or guns to Cuban patriots ? ' " 'Just this , ' says the man , cooly ; 'if you miss the patriot the Span iards ' 11 twist your neck for you. ' "However , it's all the same to a sailor whether his neck is twisted by a rope or is broken by a fall from aloft. "Wo steamed south at a good rale and so far no one forward knew as to where wo intended trying for u i landing but when wo found that the course laid would bring us around Cape JIaysi wo knew the south coast was our destination. We cleared the capo all right without sighting a Spanish vessel and then steered southeast. After a day and a half good steaming wo checked speed and began to loaf , the news coining for ward by some leak or another that - wo would land our guns at u point agreed upon between Sagua and Clai- harien. 'fUp to this time f had not felt uneasy about getting my neck twist t- ed. I felt sure the skipper ! get or the blind side of the gunboats anii land his cargo. IIo looked like a iimn who'd do most anything he sel himself to do , hut now lie began t o pour rum into his skin in a way thai made us all dubious. All that da ] while we were hanging about rcadi to make a try for the land he was i drinking like a fish and by night hi was drunk all over. "It was a dark night and no mis hike. The sky was covered with , ilouds although theio was no ruin nndxe had not a light visible aboard. Making u sharp turn wo stood jin for the laud. I passed the skipper as he canio from the cabin on his way to the bridge and he smelt like a newly-tapped nun barrel. When there's ticklish work to bo ilono with a craft I'd as liuvo the skipper'd be sober and I kinder felt my neck once or twice aa if there was n rope about it. Wo oaino steadily in , not it sound hut the pounding of the screw and we a squinting into the dark and seeing nothing. Then there came out of the blackness it Hash , a boom , and ( ho hiss of some thing oxer the forecastle. " 'A gunboat , by heavensMMrcch - Ptl the male. "Jing a jir.g went the signals from the bridge to the engine room and the steamer slewed around and maile for the open sea. How that propeller did pound and how this old ton kettle did jump over the water. "Mash , boom , siss , another shot skipped over us amidships but wo were soon out of gun range. Wo couldn't , however , steam as we did , , gink the infernal lights the gunboat i / .L.1 I ' Then There Came Out "of the Black- | I nccs a Flash , a Boom. carried. Like a dog after a rabbit the blooming steamer changed her course as xve did ours and came nil- i. . . ' ing after us. I " 'I believe the bloody dagoes can .smell our trail,5 muttered the male. Suddenly I lions came u iiiuflled noise from below and instantly xvo heard the skipper shrieking doxvn the tube to the engine room. Speed at once slackened and then it xvas whispered that we had bloxvn out a valve and that the engine was .disabled. "The hkinncr gave some orders to the mate short and sharp like pistol shots and then the bell jangled a sig nal to the engineer. The mate sxvung himself over on the fiddloy house and then rushed aft , giving some order to the man at the wheel. Then he sung out to us to place lights in the rigging and also to the slcxvard to light up the cabin. , "When this had been done the vessel - sel had turned about and xvas heading ( ing right for the gunboat. i "We looked at each other xvith pale faces. The only xvay xvo could explain this move xvas that the skip- 1 per had given up all hope of escaping and for spite intended smashing into [ the gunboat. We MIXV him on the bridge erect and apparently as cool as ever staring straight ahead at the xvarshij ) . "The two ships ncarcd each other , we steaming as fast as our broken loxvn engine would let us and when xvo came in hailing distance the dago yelped at us. " 'British steamer Falcon , ' replied our skipper , coolly , 'from fiuracoa to Noxv Orleans/ and then he added , ' thuro's a steamer ahead of you xvith no lights up. She's right in your course and you might run into her. 1 came near doing so. ' 'Bless your soul , the dago sxvul- loxvcd the bait as n shark docs a block of pork and steamed ahead like mad. We wore bhip and ran un der the lee of the Isle of Pines and patched up our engine. The next night we landed our guns as easily as wo would have a cargo of rice in Katherine docks , " SUFFICIENTLY PUNISHED. t - Judge ( to lawyer ) Mr. Sharp arc you defending this prisoner ?

"The poor dogis tired out , " ; aid Mary , as the wagon drove nlo the yard , and Toxvser , covered with the dust ol the oad , dropped lolling and pant- nyipon the grass. "Tlsu't the journey he had to ake that's tired him , " laughed he farmer ; "he's used himself tp by Higzatftfiug from one side jf the mad to thn other and iMidin' to everything that lid n't concern him.
