CHAPTER XXV. Continued. Wlie-n the dishos had finally been re moved I pave the men permission to moke, went hack to the after state room, and brought forth the lop-book, which we made an effort to decipher. It was roiiRhly written and by a num ber tif different hands, and between ua mir knowledge of enrly Spanish script was barely sufficient to enable us to read a portion of it. The earlier en Tries made by the captain, although tiadlj faded, were legible enough, briimiii", the story of the voyage down to i lie bitter part of July, aud recount ing a ries of severe gales, involving the loss of several members of the crew Then a new hand took up the pen. "Halaza, first officer." the captain having been killed by a falling spar: for a week or ten days the tale was of fierce .strucgles in the Ice-pack, aud a steady drift to the southward. Others followed "Alcassar. second officer." "Salvature. government agent," every line the record of new disaster, gales, wrecked rigging and death. They were locked In beyond all hope early In August, vast hummocks overhang ing the deck, the forecastle sealed by ire. the cold so deadly the red-hot stove scarcely kept the numbing chill from the cabin, the doors and windows cif which they had covered with blankets. Not a day passed but that they carried out their dead upon the tee. leaving them beyond sight of the deck. The names were all written down. There came a time when the survivors were too few and weak even for that service: when they could do nothing but cower within the cabin and cast dice to settle on who should co down into the icy bold and bring up the fuel which alono kept life in them They drank and played cards; they quarreled, forgetting everything tinman and reverting to brutes. The child of Senora Alcatras died; the next day the mother went Quietly to sleep, never to wake again. They did not "ven know when her final breath came. She was the last of the women. The boatswain. Pedro Reo. passed away that same night, sitting on the deck; and there was left only Salvatore. who had gone mad. a seaman named Juan Kuiz. and a passenger. Antonio Paltere It was the latter who wrote the final entry. September 11, 1733: "I touched Ruiz just now, he was stone ccld; there is only Salvatore left, grin ning at me across the table; the last candle is going out, too, and I haven't strength to go after more. Jesu, mercy." It ended in the blank page. "Doris, sweetheart." I whisjiered. ray words barely audible to her alone.

"Oh, I could not. I could not; the words would choke me." She arose unsteadily to her feet, gripping the table, then the back of the bench, and thus helped, staggered s' ? wr o "gv jw & T" ip "Jesu3, Saviour, Pilot Me, Over Life's Tempestuous Sea." rather than walked forward.

She turned slowly, ashen-lipped, one hand shadowing her eyes. Twice she endeavored vainly to find voice; then, clear, yet with the glistening of tears clinging to each woid. she sung: Jesus.

While I live I remember the won drous change in her face as she sang the effect pictured in those faces watching her. As a mother stills her child.

She straightened, her fine eyes dark ening, and I noticed Johnson leaning forward, clenching the table with his hard hands. When at last I near the shore. And the fearful breakers roar 'Twlxt me and the peaceful rest. Then, while leaning on Thy breast. May I hear Thee say to tne. "Fear not. I will pilot thee" In the intense silence that followed she crossed to where I 6at. placed one hand upon my shoulder, and bent down until her cheek pressed my sleeve. One by one the men filed gravely out into the darkness of the deck. leaving us there alone. CHAPTER XXVI. In Which We Find Treasure. We began to dream of treasure as soon as the fierce winds ceased and the waves fell. The lust for wealth, partially blunted by the requirements of hardship and peril, revived within us the instant nature granted a tem porary respite. The memory ot the three million pesos that might be stowed away below began to haunt our imaginations, and the story of it found utterance on our lips. The ne gro blurted it forth, his eyes rolling, and De Nova came direct to me, ask ing, in behalf of the men, the privi lege of making search. There was no excuse for refusal, even had I desired to find one, as the decks were cleared of the debris left by the storm, aud the Donna Isabel rode her course easily to a lashed helm. Leaving Dade above to keep a watchful eye on the weather, I willingly led the others in to the steward's pantry, where we pried open the door leading down into the lazarette. That same intense cold of the Ant arctic smote us the moment the creak ing hinges yielded, and we stood peer ing down through the aperture. We waited impatiently for the first frigid breath to escape, huddled about the stove in the cabin, and recalling va rious sea tales of treasure seeking, which only served to whet our appe tite for the coming adventure. Now and then I lifted my eyes, meeting Doris' questioning glance, and assured that I understood her mood. At last, but well wrapped in our mufflers and bearing a candle aloft to cast its flickering yellow light eyes conspicuous as he stared eagerlv about. We found innumerable boxes and barrels, crates, bottles and wicker fiasks, some open, the packing straw strewn about, others tightly nailed, piled everywhere, evidence that the galleon had been amply provisioned for a long voyage, and that her crew m v J A tion that had left the IHmna Isabel a enamel ship. We handled this collec tion rapidly, contenting ourselves with mere! testing the weight of each package, quickly convinced that none was heavy enough to conceal precious metal. This job must have occupied more than an hour, handicapped as we were by the prwr light, and several times I Glanced through the open trap overhead to observe the faces of the women framed there as they watched us silently. Once Dade stared down, bringing word the sky was thickening In the west, and lingering to observe our operations until I had to order him back upon deck. A solid, nail-studded, oaken door an peared in the forward bulkhead, and so soon as we had succeeded In han dling every article stored within the lazaretto, I had a passage cleared to it. the men working with feverish im patience. When finally reached, the door was locked and seemingly as sol Id as the bulkhead Itself, nor did a search of the after stale rooms reveal any keys. No doubt they were in Sal vatore's pocket, many a league astern. Hut Kelly and McKnight brought down the cleaver and an iron bar, and pro ceeded to burst it open, the rest of us crowding about, too cold and ex cited to keep still, but very confident the treasure awaited us within. My own heart beat fiercely with anticipa tion, and I heard Ue Nova swearing in French, rjuite unable to control him self. It seemed to me that door would never yield; but at last Johnson man aged to get a put chase low down, and with Cole heaving at his side, they fairly tore the wood asunder. Through the considerable opening thus made there burst a torrent of icy water into our very faces, extinguishing the light, and sending us stumbling backward to the ladder, up which we swarmed al most in panic. Anything unexpected in that ghost-ship made cowards of us all. and we fought our way forth Into the daylight in a suddenness of ter ror almost ludicrous, swearing and clawing at each other like madmen. It required another hour for the deluge of water to drain away through the deck, after which we ventured be low again, tho relighted candle re vealing slush-ice everywhere, with a considerable trickle still gurgling through the hole in the door. How ever, we had an opening to work at. and soon succeeded in tearing most of the obstruction away piecemeal, only to be confronted by a solid barrier of glittering ice fully five feet thick, leav ing a space at the top of the door bare ly sufficient for a man's body to pass through. De Nova, cursing as if he had gone- crazy, hoisted me to the top of it. where I clung precariously, hold ing the sputtering candle aloft, and peering about over the gleaming eur- PECULIAR IDEAS OF AUTHORS Varying Conditions Under Which the World's Great Writers Did Their Best Work. Alexander Pope, who was the liter ary pontiff of his time, thought best when In bed. Whenever a. thought came to him he would jot It down on a scrap of paper. His servant often found bedclothes and floor covered with white bits containing aphorisms which have now become hackneyed quotations. Victor Hugo wrote "Los Miserables" standing up, an attitude which Haw- thorne also assumed when he wrote many of his tomances. One leg thrown over the arm of a cLair or sitting on the arm of his sec retary's chair were Napoleon's favor uffsrmMfflftumfi G&aarA.cM'agK4C9 sm face and through Into the black sha dows. Good Lord, but it was cold, re pellent, frightful! The beams sup porting the deck. huge, black timbers, were within easy reach of my hand, and forward the spectral glow of day light streamed in through the rift ia the deck-planks above. But from one bulging side to the other extended this solid mass of Ice, the congealed draining of a century of waves that had dashed their salt spray down the opening ripped by the wrecked main mast. No wonder the old hulk bung sodden with all that load below! I crawled forward as far as the sil very butt of the mainmast whence I could look up through the splintered deck to the narrow strip of sky over head. There was a bulkhead forward, but the ice extended solidly to the wood. I could hear the ceaseless swell of the sea pounding against the sides, the groaning of timbers, the flapping of the jib's canvas, and realized more than ever before the sickening, sodden roll of the laden hull. The level sur face or the Ice told plainly enough its story of formation; when all that wa ter came through, the vessel had been upon an even keel, imbedded firmly, no doubt. In the ice-pack. I crept back as cautiously as I had advanced, the rolling of the wreck rendering the slip, pery surface dangerous to travel over. The men watched me anxiously as I slid down Into the lazarette. "What did you find, sir?" "Nothing except ice, solid Ice clear to the forward bulkhead. It looks as though we had reached the end of our treasure-hunt, my lads." There was a sullen growl of profan ity, McKnight viciously slashing at the ice front with his cleaver. Twice he struck, with no other object except the venting of his ungovernable anger, t his forehead baded. the great muscles of his arms standing out like whip-1 cords. A considerable chunk scaled off. falling thumping to the deck, and causing him to spring backward to scape injury. As if maddened by this, he drove in the blade of the ax again it clanged against metal! We i all heard It; we all witnessed the re-1 bound. tTO V.K CONTINUED.) Stork Day. At Haslach. In the Kinzlg valley. In j Germany. February 22 Is a holiday and . has been observed as one for nun- j dreds of years. Once upon a time, the Btory teller who explains its origin be-' gins, Haslach was overrun with snakes, and no one knew how to drive them out. One day a great flock of storks appeared, and they were the , saviors of the place. In recognition of this deliverance from the pect, ' which occurred on February 2, the day has been kept sacred and is known , as "Stork day." An appointed official known as the "Stork Father parades " the streets, followed by as many chll-1 dren as care to join the procession. He wears his "Sunday clothes' and a high ' hat. decorated with two stuffed storks. Stops are made by this procession at houses along the line and the children receive gifts of sweets and small , coins, every householder feeling pleased to show his gratitude to the stork. Puzzle for Cupid. A young man named Jamie had been ' calling quite often where thero worn ; two sisters of nearly the same age. It was a sort of joke to tho girls as to which was the attraction, as he invari ably asked for both and divided his at tention impartially. One evening when he called only one of the girls was at home by arangement but. as usual, he asked her to sing, as they were all fond of music In a spirit of mischief bho sang. "Take Me. Jamie. Dear." which left him rather breath less, but smiling. A little later the other sister came In. bright and be witching, and upon being requested to sing she sat down at the piano will ingly and sang.

" ite positions while dictating to Hour- , rif nne, a position which he varied now . and then by patting that scribe on the t head or pulling his ears. Sir Walter Scott could while reolln- i lag on a lounge dictate to two amanu- j enses, who frequently had to stop writ ing, so funny the dictated passages seemed to them. William Morris made one of his fa mous translations from the Greek ! while riding on the steam cars. Walt Whitman and Horace Traubel. original in all things, were most original in the position they took while thinking. They were wont, so Mr. Traubel says. to climb upon a pile of lumber and lie down upon their backs. In that way each found out what th other's best thoughts were. TIERE Is something delightfully quaint and picturesque about a taffeta gown they seem always '.o be associated with lavender and rue and bits of old lace. It is this old time air. together with an adorable primness not lacking chic, that makes taffeta one of the fashionable silks of the day. The new taffetas are delightfully soft in texture and wonderful in color. The favorites are the chameleon ef fectsat moments a beautiful sub dued seemingly one-tone fabric, then tt a turn of the silk flashing Into bril liancy, a marvel of changing lights. The changeable silks of a lovely color shot with gold or silver are the most exquisite, but for gowns for day wear such as are sketched, two colors are best, and lovely combinations they arc. too. The taffeta gown has brought In Its wake a trail of quaint accessories, among them the embroidered glove, odd little shoulder wraps, cameos, old NEW PARASOLS ARE COSTLY Possible to Spend Any Amount One May Desire on Elaborately Carved Handle. The quality of unobtrusiveness is not the most characteristic one of many of the new parasols. The han dles of many of these are most re markable, and never has there been a season when greater opportunities for expenditure in this line were offered. Carved ivory figures in full relief may cost any amount that one cares to give if an effort is made to secure genuine works of art, for which, in deed, it may be necessary to resort to the antique. At least there Is every incentive to do so if one has the money, now that carved ivory figures as parasol han dles are among the latest suggestions of fashion. Those whicn have so far been imported are delicate figures of piquant maidens, but the fad opens the way to any amount of rivalry in the effort to secure exquisite minia ture figures that shall be unique and particularly suited to one's style There arc also colored horn handles among the latest importations. These lire made of the same semi-translucent material that was once so much used for fancy combs. The designs are of heads in quaint poke bonnets, etc., and the colors are dark green, amber, tortobe shell brown and dull dark rose. There are also heads in ivory among the new handles. Polka Dot Handkerchiefs. Colored handkerchiefs have a fair chance of being used more than white ones. The newest of these are In polku-doi designs. The dot is of col ors on a white ground, or just the other way around. There is a tiny selvedge of the color. Other colored handkerchiefs have stripes to form squares over the sur face; others have a border of color, with the Initial embroidered in a col ored circle. The butterfly and other ornaments in colors have given place to the initial and the circle. Pretty Rompers for Children. A new Idea In children's rompers is a circular cut designed more especial ly for small girls' play, because the fullness created by the circular sug gests a skirt. It is made from pink and white or blue and white checked gingham. The sleeves are elbow length, taken into bank cuffs, and the garment is prettily trimmed with nar row folds of white piping. PRETTY FORM OF EMBROIDERY Bulgarian Work is Extremely Popular for the Furnishings of the Ordinary Bedroom. Bulgarian embroidery on linen is now very popular for the small fur nishings of bedrooms of a certain style. This sort of decoration Is not suitable for an excessively dainty pink and white or all white apartment, for the colors employed are vivid and the designs striking. Added to this, the embroidery is at its best on rather heavy linen, a richer or more delicate fabric not making nearly so attractive a background. There are many girls, especially those away at school, who have their rooms furnished in a fashion which requires some touches of bright color, and for these the Bul garian embroidered fittings or one or two pieces of it are very satisfactory. It is particularly good for boys' rooms at school or college, because it has a much more sturdy look than most linen articles. Red. blue and green on the natural linen is the ubual color harmony. corals and small parasols. The parasol, by the way, must not match the gown In color. Rather, it catches up some vivid note of color in the trimming of the gown, perhaps a wee bit in the girdle, a note in the embroidery, or even a flower at the belt. Puffing, quilling and rucblngs are the usual trimming for the taf feta frocks, two of which are shown in the sketch, with a silk suit, each one of the favorite changeable effects in attractive combinations. The first sketch Is of royal blue and black changeable taffeta, with black satin buttons and white lace collar. The central sketch is a simple frock in lovely shades of rose and corn color, with cream lace frills and a black satin tie. The gown In the remaining sketch is a green and Iliac shaded taffeta, with white embroidered linen revers. net guimpe and black satin trimming. The skirt is finished with a frill rucbo of tho taffeta. DAINTY LITTLE COSTUME Sky-blue zephyr is used for this dainty little dress. The panel, which is taken from shoulders down center of front, is lightly embroidered at the edges with white. The bodice is then fulled into a band at the waist, and the plaited skirt is also joined to the other edge of it. Embroidered bands art set to the sleeves at wrist. Materials required: Two and a half yards zephyr 42 inches wide. The One-Seam Sleeve. Some of the season's prettiest sleeves are tucked around the arm and for this trimming the one-scam sleeve is advisable. Inrge tucks are alternated with groups of tiny tucks. Wide lace in sertion is let in between wide tucks, and on many plainer sleeves a few strips of wide insertion cross the arm above the elbow. There is danger in continuing these horizontal lines too far down, because an excess of them will lengthen the arm unduly. Thus tucked, the upper sleeve is frequently stopped and finished at the elbow, and from beneath it is hung to a skeleton lining an tinder sleeve of some delicate fabric in keep ing with the gown. Some of the pieces, however, are dec orated with only one or two of these colors. Red and blue or green and red on the linen color are perhaps more attractive combinations than that of the three colors. Pillows, table and bureau scans and bags are made of the linen decorated in this fashion. Persian Trimmings. There is a genuine craze for ail Persian effects. Coats display collar and cuffs of the silk. Pongoe parasois are bordered with foulard printed in Persian colors. Gowns are trimmed with folds of it and vebts with pipings. It forms the decoration for hats on the ecru order. It is even seen on handbags. Pipings of Persian silk, also cord ings. may be bought by the yard, all ready to apply. Appearances Are Deceiving.
