A MINISTER'S CONSTIPATION 3LLT-3J i J we stared up incredulously at the turds: Cadiz Don't Lose Your Nerve. Man, You've Seen Dead Men Before." CHAPTER XXIII.-Continued. Y't. lilt It by little, my mind bt'j;an to apitn'bftid tli" truth, my reason to F,rasp tin- ill-tails. Mist or reality, there din-cilv before us lloated what appeared to be the outlines of a ship battered, wrecked, odd in form -yet a ship, moving upright upon the surface of lite water. f!ood CJod! what a mad dream of the past was represented yon der' Those round, blunt bows, the broken bowsprit, heavy as a mast, forking Mraight upward; the great carven. shapeless figurehead beneath; the wide, elevated forecastle deck; the seemingly tremendous thickness of the bulwarks- the strange slope of deck and rail amidships; the immense rem nant of a foremast towering In splint ers; the broad, sonare stern, even over-toppini; the height of the peaked forecastle. That was a grim thing to meet with in those waters. '"Stand bv. men!" I called, the trem ble still in my command. "If the thing yonder be wood and iron we'll board her." Not a oice responded, their bodies Knse and motionless, every eye still on that dim. phantom gleam. With clenched teeth I pressed the tiller hard down, and the bows of the long boat headed straight in. Suddenly lie Nova leaped to his feet. "Ship ahoy!" he yelled, the note of fear sounding shrilly. In the intense silence I could plain ly hear the heavy breathing ot the e e:ted men. .vlnch wotdd enable me to haul myself uj . Kveryihing I touched was ice. so thick as to render objects shapeless. "t;ie me a lift. Kelly; easy. now. irntil 1 get a handhold. There, that will do. my lad." It was a slippery, dangerous perch, the vessel plunging somewhat, but the upper ice was slightly powdered with snow, yielding a little purchase, and I finally discovered a brace for my feet which enabled me to leach down and assist .lohtksou to scramble up beside me. Fortunately the bulwarks were not so high proportionately as wide, and we succeeded in sliding over them, coming down rather heavily on the solid deck. Here tlie snow made walking possible, although underneath t!-e ice was thick and smooth, com pelling caution. All forward was a ter rible rafllc of wreckage, a jumbled mass of tangled spars, with the great topmast and all its hamper right where it had fallen, a portion of tlie port bulwark smashed flat. A hum mock of ice rose like a great hill from abaft the butt of the foremast, which stuck up maybe :!0 feet, clear over the forecastle deck, leaving everything shapeless and grotesque. Where the slope was steepest, the wind had swept :u:i the snow leaving the ice beneath char; and there, frozen completely in, like a painted pictuie, was the fully revealed body of a man. 1 never saw any sight more grewsome than that ice-shrouded ligure; the arms out stretched, the short, black beard ren dering more ghastly the white, dead face. I gripped mv hands onto John son's shoulder, and he was shaking like an aspen, his own face colorless in the moonshine. I wheeled him about savagely. "Don't lose your nerve, man. You've seen dead men before. Come, there's nothing to do here; we'll try how she looks aft." He followed me like a dog. casting uneasy glances backward over his shoulder. The deck was clearer of rallle beyond the foremast, a great gap in the port bulwarks amidships showing where the wreckage had probably been swept overboard. The mainmast had been ripped out. leav- "Holy Mother of God!" and De No va, in his excitement, danced about recklessly, forgetting the slipperiness of deck underfoot. "It was ze treas ure ship! It was ze t'ree million pesos! Sacre dam'! It does not appear possible that I perceived it all, but now, looking back, I can recall the attitude of every man as this revelation of the vessel's iden tity was swiftly borne in upon his con sciousness. Sanchez sank affrighted ly to his knees, fingering the beads of a rosary, his lips muttering inar ticulate fragments of prayer; Dade stared, white-faced and trembling, his mouth wide open: Kelly jerked his cap from off his red hair and swung it over his head with a r?Iid yell; Johnson never stirred, a motionless statue, his lips compressed; the negro joined De Nova, his eyes rolling, his great feet pounding the snow; while McKnight grabbed the ax from Kel ly's heedless Cngers and began slash ing at the door. As for myself, at the instant everything was chaos. Tut tle was right, then; he had seen all that he said; our voyage had not been causeless, a search after a will-oM he wisp; the sacrifices, suffering, loss of these past months, were not all in vain. Out of Antarctic solitudes, re leased from the merciless grip of the ice by some marvel of deliverance, :his treasure galleon of Old Spain, 'his ancient tomb of dead sailors, had onie drifting down to us. a veritable ;ift of God. The knowledge stunned :ne; dazed my perceptions. It seemed I i miracle. I could only press my tions. Without speaking we stowed mem away uncier sneiter. iiands . mv eves, stare blindlv at that "She is certainly a relic." I paused inscription, and struggle bark- tn a conception of reality. It was Kelly's long enough to say. "one of the old timers in these seas. From the look of her she must have been locked up in the ice south there for a century." "Do you expect to sail her north ward?" "I hardly know yet what to expect; that remains to be seen. She seems to ride the water stanchly enough and there is fully 30 feet of mast standing yonder. Anyhow, this deck at pres ent is better than an open boat." "Hut but it is all so ghastly, so ghost-like Celeste is fairly crazy from the horror." "It is merely the effect of the moon- ngnr glimmering on tlie ice; every thing is ice wherever your eyes turn. I hit you are safe enough here, and with daylight the ghostliness of it will vanish." "Where are you going now?" "To break into the cabin; then we will have a decent place in which to stay perhaps a chance for a fire. It is not likely to prove a long job, and I will be back to you shortly. Don't let the night shadows frighten you so." She smiled back into my eyes brave ly enough, although I realized the ef fort of will that it cost; and so I left her endeavoring to cheer the girl, who was sobbing wildly, with her face buried in her hands. The men joined me as I stepped without, crunching the light snow un der their heavy boots, and staring un easily about them as though the whole adventure was a dream. Lord! and no more could I shake off that same impression as I surveyed the scene aft. A boat, bottom up, the planks smashed beyond repair, lay against the starboard rail. The after-cabin. Washington. Through the defeat In the senate of a number of amend ments offered by "insurgent" repub licans and democrats, the way was paved for an early vote on the ad ministration railroad bill. It is ex pected this will come at once. The regular republicans maintained a firm hold upon the situation during several votes on important features, notwithstanding the fact that the in surgents and democrats united their votes on several occasions. More was accomplished during the closing hours of the session than in any one week during the three months the bill has been the pending business. rvot until 3 o'clock was anything done beyond listening to discussion of the measure, but when at that timo Senator La Follette concluded his two days' speech in opposition to the Din me voting proceeded rapidly, with the following results: The Cummins amendment requir ing the approval of the Interstate Commerce commission of all In creases in railroad rates before they become effective was voted down 29 to 43. The Martin amendment requiring the committee to reach a final deci sion on increases within six months was defeated. IS to 54. An amendment by Mr. Clarke of Arkansas to defer increased rates un til passed upon by the commission, but putting them into effect after six months, pending a final decision, was reejeted. 33 to 40. An amendment composed of propo-' suions by Senators Jones and Yayn ter was accepted. This provision pro vides for the extension for a period of six months of the 120-day suspen sion of new rates and regulations for the hearing as to their reasonable ness if not concluded in that time and for refunding of the difference between rates if the new rate is found to be unreasonable. This amendment ' was adopted unanimously. ! Rev. Kemp Tells of His Digestive Troubles and How He Overcame Them You Can Do So Free.

The forward shutters were tightly closed, and the whole front appeared a solid mass of glittering ice, so ob scured by frozen particles of snow as to render any disco ver of the door an impossibility. We began hacking at it with our knives, judging the opening would naturally be at the center, but the sheathing of ice proved so thick and solid that we made little impres sion. "It will take us a week to cut our way in with these things." I said at last. "De Nova. I think I saw an ax frozen in at the left of the galley. Take a man with you and pry it out." It proved an odd-looking Instrument a meat-cleaver. I imagine but was sufficiently strong and heavy.
