They dragged him up the companion ladder accordingly a shrinking , ragged lad , fall pale face pinched with day * ot hunger , his sunken eyes scanning those around him aa do the eyes ot captive animals. "H'ml" remarked the skipper. "So you're ' the stowaway ! Nlco looking young gentle man , too. Never did a stroke o' work In your , life , I'll bo bound. 'Never mind ! We'll see It wo can't make you. 'Eh ' , Mr. routings ? " first mate grinned. Ills grin was nn one , and the boy shuddered as he aw It. ' "How did you find him , ( Mr. Hillings ? " continued the skipper. Mllchlnd one o ( the cotton bales , sir , " the main replied. "Ho had an old mutton bear , with the meat all gnawed off. Provisions , I suppose , for the voyage. " "Provisions , ch ? Well , It's precious few provisions he'll get aboard this ehlp , unless ho works for them. I'lty we're out BO far or wo might put him ashore. " -For the first tlmo the stowaway spoke : "Please don't put mo nshoro ! " he cried. "Anything but that. I must goto Cape town , and I'm moro than willing to work my way. " J'Shut up ! " snarled the mate , emphasizing his remark by a tug at the stowaway's car. 'HVho gave you leave to talk , I'd llko to bad paid an uninvited vltlt to the sailor's sanctuary the forecastle. "Hello , Hillings ! " cried a dozen voices. "What's afoot , my lad ? Tell us the news. " "Nobody here but our own crowd , Is there ? " aflkoj Hillings , peering about the dimly-lighted cabin. "Nobody but ourselves. You may talk right out , Tom Ulllliigs , " was the answer. "Very well , ( hen. Let the attempt be made tonight , when the other watch ha. ) turned In. The money Is all right. The skipper and Mr. Lancelot showed It to mo this afternoon. " "How much , altogether ? " "Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds. Plenty for all of us. . . . You arc all familiar with the scheme. When Uio other watch has turned In you , Sam Dowers , and you , Illlly Itcld , wilt mount guard over 'em with your guns. Two men can hold the hatchway , I feel , certain , Then the rest of us will make for the skipper's cabin , where the money Is. The skipper Is a wli'e ' man , Ho will make no resistance against num bers. " "Lancelot may ; fight , though , " cried a voice. "What If he does ? Wo will wait until he's asleep In his bunk. At daybreak we'll put the skipper and Lancelot into a boat , with a chart , to give them their bearings. Then we'll make for South America , run the ship ashore , and * spend our well-eauicd money. " "Dtit how about the rest of the crew ? " asked otic of the listeners. Millings Grinned. "Let them get out as best they can , " ho said , "Perhaps , If they behave nicely , we I " * SHUT UPt" BNAIILED THE MATK , EMP HASIZING HIS HEMAUK IJY A TUG AT THE STOWAWAY'S EAIl. know ? Shut up , and hark to what the cap- ' taki eays. " "What's your name , and where d'ye come from ? " demanded the wiiptalu , notebook In s , hand. Tremblingly the boy replied that ho was Dick Harley , late of the Tenterden grammar school ; that his father , a widower , had left Mm 'behind In 'England ' , while ho went to South Africa as assistant surveyor on the now Matabelelamd railway line ; that nothing " , had been heard from that kindly father for a year or moro , and lastly that , compelled to leave school on account of unpaid bills , ho bad resolved to go to South Africa and ilnd hla missing parent. "And BO you thought to steal a passage on the Only Son ot Portsmouth " ? " said the kipper. "I was refused a berth by every other hip , " pleaded the boy. "They said I looked too 'weak ' to work. " "Weak or not you've got to work aboard the Only Son , " said the first mate ; "hasn't he , sir ? " "Tho skipper nodded. * "That's correct , air. Billings , " he answered. * Mf he doesn't wont to pay for his pas sage , try him with the rope's end. " - " sir I" "Aye-aye , , And again Billings grinned eloquently as , to led the boy forward. A quiet , elderly gentleman , who dad been watching these proceedings , now stepped for ward. "Doo't hurt him , Mr. Billings , " bo said. "He's only a child , you know. " "Captain's orders , sir,1' answered the mate , giving Dick Ilarley's ear an extra tweak. The eklppcr laughed. "Don't you waste any sympathy on that youngster , " ho exclaimed. "We can't afford to have any useless , white-handed stowaways aboard a vessel that carries 250,000 to the Chartered company. Haw do you know , my dear Mr. Lancelot , that yctulor boy Is not the spy of some tilgh sea robbers , put on beard to Had out about the money ? " The man addressed as Lancelot looked grave. "True. " lie said , "they did think In Lon don that an attempt might be made to rob the ship. But still , this mere boy " "I've seen 'mere boys' 'ere now , Mr. Lance lot , that were old men In crime. Take my advlco and leave the stowaway to my first officer. " At ibis moment a shrill cry of pain , fol lowed by another and another , came from the lower deck. ) "What's that ? " rled Mr. Lancelot. ' The captain of the Only Son of Ports- " ' ' " tnouth put his notebook , containing Dick Harley'a name and circumstances , carefully into his pocket. "That , my dear sir , " he answered , smll- , Ingly , "la the stowaway getting his first ' . lesson In seamanship from Mr. Billings. " i Mr. Lancelot shrugged his shoulders. J > \\tler \ all , he had been sent out in charge of \ > 250,000 In gold , which was consigned by : ) < the Bank ot England to Mr. Cecil Hhodea . < -o .and the Chartered company of South Africa , Hla duty lay In the after cabin , where that treasure was stored , and not In preventing ( Venturesome little stowaways from being rope's-Midcd. i V' ' i ' ' . BruUed and stiff , Dick Harlcy lay curled Up between a seaman's chest cud the fore castle bulkhead. Ono ot the deck bands fcad taken pity on him , and thrown a pleco of tarpaulin over his aching shoulders. Thus be lay completely hidden , to that the men' "c4he larboard watch , who had Just turned V'm. in afttr "four hours' wrestling with wind and 'water , knew nothing ot his presence. "What became ot the stowaway ? " asked ono ot these worthies. "Jumped overboard , I expect , " arowered another. "Billings gave him 'what-for , ' 1 car tell you , I must say I don't understand iwhy he wanted to wallop the poor llttlo iwretch. " m. A chuckle ran around tbo forecactlc. . "Why , you dcukey. " cried the man who had flrat opoken , "Billings Just wanted to how bow zealous he Is In the company's aervlce. The captain thinks there's nobody like Billings. " "And neither Is there , my boys ; neither la there , " cried a voice from the companion ladder. Dick Harley , cowering voder hla ( tarpaulin , knew that voice , and shuddered Involuntarily. Th flrit mate ot the duly ! d flanc ot Mrlct nautical etlquitte , 2& ma yleavo them a boat. * .nut . not one pouiad of the money do they get. " ' "And when are wo to start In ? " "I'll give you the signal , " iBIlllngs replied. 'Meanwhile turn in acid get a rest. Good night , ray lads , and * * remember ! I shipped every manjack of you at Ports mouth ; and you're under oath to do my bid ding. Kill 'cm. If necessary , but get the cash at all hazards. " "Aye , aye , sir ! We'll follow yon , " cried several of tlie rascally crew , as their leader sprang up the ladder. Little Dick Harley ireathed a sigh of relief as ho heard Bll- Ings depart , but next moment there flashed icrosa his youthful mind that a stern duty ay before him. .Notwlthstandlug the danger notwithstanding the mortal terror with which he regarded this brutal first raato ho must endeavor to give the captain warn- ng of the Intended robbery. To stir from his hiding place at this noment would mean death at the hands of hose desperate men. And as yet none of hem showed any Intention of obeying Bll- Ings' advlco and "turning in. " They examined their revolvers for every one of them seemed to be armed and talked over the coming attack upon the chartered company's treasure. Dick had almost made jp his mind to risk a crawl along the floor toward the companion ladder and a rush : hence upon deck , when one ot the despera does yawned. A yawn Is more contagious HE WAS MET AT THE HEAD OF Till STAIRS nv THE CAPTAIN AND JIU LANCELOT. than yellow fever. Within five minutes ever : man In the forecastle was showing cvldenci of weariness. First one and then anothe crawled Into their bunks , nnl were present ! ; heard to slumber nolally. The exampli spread until the last af the band knockei the ashes out ot his pipe and retired t < rest. Soon all of them were to the land o nod. Cautiously Dick Harlcy peeped out fran under his tarpaulin. Then ho venturcc forth cad set ono foot on tbo companloi ladder. "Who's ttiere ? " growled a eallor drowsily Dick's only ar.sucras to slip as quick ) ; and as noiselessly as his bruises would allov up the ladder. At the head he lUtenci Intently. "Who was It , mil ? " asked a cecond voice "U was that blamed cat , I'm th'.nkln'.1 ' replied the first speaker , and to Dick's relle there was no pursuit. Quickly ho ran aloni the deck and mounted the bridge to when the skipper stood. That night as the flnst mate of the Onl ; Son came up from his cablu , with a re volver In his hip pocket and a grin on 111 face , be nas met at the head of the etalr , by the captain and Mr. Lancelot. To hi surprise boltrof these gentlemen were anned while behind them ho observed tbo desplse < stowaway , Dick Harley , with a naked cutlas In tils hand. "Mr. llllllnga , " eald the captain , "you wll please throw up your handii. Your llttl plot has been discovered. Ah , thank you 1 ( u be drew the pUtol out ot UlllluB-s' pocket ) "You mar now return to your cabin and consider yourself a prlioner. " "Wh what la the meaning ot this , sir ? " iptuttcrcd the mate. "Tdc meaning , Mr. Hillings , " put la Lance lot , "Ui that this boy here heard your whole delightful scheme to rob tdo Chartered com pany of 250,000. He very promptly ln formed the captain. Your accomplices In the forecastle were captured In their bunks , and rrjout of them have confttjsed every thing. " ' Dllllngs looked at the speaker and then at Dick Harley. "Tho alowawayl" ho cried. "The miser able llttlo rat of a stowaway. " "Yes , Mr. Hillings the stowaway lias saved the Chartered company of South Africa 250,000 , and a stanch , seaworthy ship. You will nnd Itiat thc'company knows how to be grateful. " And grateful , Indeed , the company proved Itself to be. A month later ( while Hillings and his gang were availing trial for at tempted piracy la the Cape Town Jail ) Dick Harley was shaking his father's wasted hand | n the new hospital at Salisbury. The sur veyor's recovery from a lingering fever was greatly accelerated , you may be sure , by the news that the Chartered company had re warded by a position of trust and honor the timely action of the quondam Btouaway on the Only Son. \ IA ti.Mt.V FALLS llltlll a 12 S. DcNtrucllon of luI.nM of the I'll in u UN SiiMieiiKloji SlructiiroN. The second steel arch bridge across the Niagara gorge U In course ot construction , to replace the upper suspension bridge close to the falls. The signing ot the contracts for the new arch , says Leslie's Weekly , was practically an order for the destruction of the last of the famous great suspension bridges at Ni agara , so far as their original location Is concerned , and the last of the structures traversed by thousands of tourists In an ad miring mood will live In memory only. All arrangements for the building of the first bridge over the gorge were completed early In 1S4S , and the contractors set about find ing a means ot establishing communication between the cliffs at the narrowest point near the whirlpool rapids. The Idea of over coming the dlfllculty by a powerful rocket was conceived. IJut this did not work , and some school boys flying their kites on the river bank gave the suggestion that the desired - ' sired connection might be made by allowing a kite tt > settle on the opposite bank. The most adept of the boys In flying their kites was llttlo Iloraan Walsh , and the con tractors Invited him to try his skill. The prevailing wind at the falls Is from the southwest , and after waiting some days for a favorable wind , young Walsh walked up stream two miles to the ferry and crossed to the Canadian f-'lde , reaching which he proceeded down stream to the slto of the bridge. The wind was blowing strong , and ho coon had hU kite , named the Union , flyIng - Ing heavenward. The cord went out rapidly , but the gale was too strong to allow the kite to settle. Night came on , and Walsh and boys who had gathered built a flro on the b iik to keep warm , awaiting a lull In the wind , toward midnight. The anxious watchers cci the opposite shore also built a fire. Walsh knew then that hlo program was understood , nnd that there would be a close watch kept for the kite- The wind went down as expected and about 12 o'clock Increased tension and Jerking on the kite string told him t'jat his kite had landed and that the cord was safely acrosa the gorge. The distance and roar of the rapids prevented verbal communication , therefore they were uncertain as to each other's movements. Suddenly there came a heavy Jerk on the cord and then It fell locso In Walsh's hands. So much sag had been given It that It had reached the river below , In which n vast amount of Ice was flowing , and the cord was broken In two. Disap pointed , Walsh wound up his end of the cord and fitarted for the ferry. Reaching there he wus told the river waa so full of Ice thaU the boats dared not venture out. For eight days be wa IccftwftCton the Canadian bore. When finally tier-arrived homo ho found his kite uninjured nd after waiting again for a favorable wind t6 fly. It from the New York state bank , bo Again crossed to the Canadian Aide. The-wind wets favorable and In thirty minute * ho-had landed nil kite and the desired connectionbetween ! the cliffs was established. The cord wen viitd to draw n heavier cord across the river and this was followed by a rope and a wire cable. Other cables followed andm cable-way on which un Iron basket ran , now In possession of the Duffalo Historical society , was operated In building the bridge. Walsh received $50 for his work. Ho Is 41111 alive and resides In Lincoln , Neb. Other cables wefe Btrung and placed on trtwere. From thewo cables were suspended two bridges , each about three feet wide and forty feet apart. Between them the cable- way was operated. The second of these bridges had been carried out about 250 feet from the New York state bank and about 160 feet from the Canadian bank when < \ terrible tornado swept down the gorge from the southwest. The unfinished bridge was parted near the towers and the cables were dis placed. Far out over mid-stream , 200 feet above the water , six men were at work. For a short time all seemed about to be lost. Back and forth the bridges swung at the mercy of the gale. Two of the men made their way to the batik , but four were left cm a broken extremity. The ruin came down In torrents. As soon as the storm subsided a IHtle the Iron basket was let out on 1'ie cable with ono man In It. Ho carrlrd a ladder with him. and when he reached the wreck he used H to make a bridge , over which the men passed Into the basket and were pulled ashore safely. The steel arch now being built will be the fourth bridge erected on the site. Connec tion at this point was made between the cliffs by carrying a 1'jpe ' acrocs the river on an Ice bridge. The first bridge , was a wooden structure , opined to the public January 2 , 1809. In 18S7-S8 It was rebuilt In tsteel. On the night of January 9-10 , 1SS9 , the now structure was wrecked by wind and turned bottom up In the gorge. A portion of this bridge still lies beneath the waters of the rlvtr. The last man to crcs3 It was Dr. John Hedge of Niagara Falls , who went to the Canadian sldo to visit a very sick patient. On lila return lo had a frightful experience and narrowly escaped being blown Into the gorge. The suspension bridge was rebuilt In 1S89 , and It Is this bridge that Is now to give way to the latest seel ! arch. With the building of the arch the present suspension bridge will bo taken down and carried down stream eeven miles , where It late to bo rebuilt on tbo site of the old Lewiston bridge , which was wrecked by wind on April 16 , 1864. under remarkable circum stances. In March and early In April of the year mentioned the lea came down the river from Lake Erlo In great and unusual quan tities. An Immense gorge was formed below the brMgc , and the Ice piled up about the anchorages of the guys to such an extent that It created alarm that when It moved It would carry the guys away. The gorge broke , and the owners of the bridge con gratulated themselves that their care had resulted In saving the structure. Nice wolther followed , but the bridge men did not think to replace ths gujs. A fierce storm came down the gorge and the bridge wao iswcpt away. ' IC'\\aa ' never rebuilt , but over the gorge today , from cliff to cliff , the cables swing , attracting much attention from pass ers through the now popular route of travel , and affording , It Is said , In the r Jst a means of criminals escaping frcui the United States Into the Dominion. t Thousands of sufferers from grippe have been restored to health by Ono Minute Cough Cure.
