The passengers were assembled in the forward part or the cuddy, and their i.ale faces could be seen from the Quarter deck viewing the proceedings through the window glass. This was a sorrowful sight. Its pathos was heightened by the children, and the baby in the black nurse's arms, and as the passengers descended into the boats, the procession was rendered extremely depressing by the low persistent waiiing of the baby. "Now, then, shove off, my lads." shouted Pope. The third mate, who was in charge of the long boat, in which a boat's compass and a quadrant had been l placed, ordered the big to be hoisted, and In a few minutes the three boats, two of them under f mutton canvas, were sliding off into the mighty solitude. lug-sai- shoul-der-o- CHAPTER XVIII.

Pope ascended the and approached Miss Laura with his hat in his hand. "I'm going to ask you," he said, "to come on board my brig with me." She turned a little pale, looked a little frightened, and answered: "Where is your brig going to, capt. Pope?" "We shall cruise for some more money," he answered, "and then I shall place a chart of the world before you, ami you shall put your finger on the spot to which you would have me sail."

Next morning was as shining as the splendid day that had vanished. t At eight the cabin breakfast was ready. Capt. Pope and Capt. Crystal awaited Miss Laura's emergence from her cabin. The square man was seated; Pope stood, and continued to stand until she came, when he saluted her with a low bow, and a After look of helpless adoration. some commonplaces about the passage of the night, the comfort of her cabin and the like, the conversation shaped itself thus: "When do you mean to give the men a sight of the stuff they're craving to see, Pope?" asked Crystal, trying to speak in a friendly way. the "After breakfast," answered captain.

Laura as coloring superbly. Twice she lifted her eyes from the deck while he spoke, once to flash them upon him, and once to gaze a little lingeringly. "Pope," said Crystal, "let me see to her cabin accommodation. This is a ship of pirates, and if you're in love you'll agree that she's to be protected as much for your sake as fur her own." "John, you know she's absolutely safe; but you are her cousin. I love you for that, and you shall have your way," and, bowing to Miss Crystal with a sweet smile, this extraordinary man went on deck. Grindal. in the heart of a little mob, talked loud and gesticulated freely, smiting his palm with his clenched fist. Pope took no notice, and after walking the deck for some time, he went below into his cabin for a cigar and his fine telescope, with which to follow the departure of the Thetis. He heard Crystal talking to the girl in the next cabin, and strained his ear, even laying it against the bulkhead to catch what they said. Unhappily for the listener the brig was slightly pitching, and the groans of the fabric, its occasional squeals, the jar of the rudder, and the noise of the wheel-ropetroubled and deafened him. So he abandoned a hopeless effort, to light his cigar and pick up his telescope. When Pope quitted his cabin, Crystal and Laura were still talking. He regained the deck and immediately leveled his glass at the Thetis and saw that she was sinking fast. Presently Capt. Crystal came on deck. to light Pope called to his cabin-mathe lamp, and put a meal with tea and wine upon the table. "Has she gone?" says Crystal, look- - V -- MAGNET. Listener Knew of One That Discounted the Professor's. Prof. Knowall had been lecturing trofoundly on natural philosophy, and in the course of his experiments he introduced a most powerful magnet, with which he attracted a block of iron from a distance of two feet. "Can any of you conceive a greater drawing power?" demanded the lecturer with an air of triumph. "I can," answered a stentorian voice from the audience. "Not a natural terrestrial object?" "Yes, Indeed." "I can't think what it can be," said the trouble professor. "Perhaps you'll explain exactly whnt you mean." Then up rose old Johnny Spinnage. Said he: "I will give you facts, professor, and you can judge for yourself. When I was a young man there was a little piece of natural magnet done up in a neat cotton dress, as was called Pet-sMaria. She could draw me fourteen miles on Sunday over plowed land, no matter what wind or weather there was. There was no resisting 'er.
