| A chrnm RUSE.I 11

Itwas in the days of tho black flag, amiof the nimble keel coppered to the bends,?nd ofthat square of blood red buntingwhich when run aloft to the maintep-mast head signified "No quarter!" Around bowed Bristol trader, a bark of?bout 460 tons, threo mon > lis out fromthe Avon and bound to Savanna la Mar,lay helpless off that Jamaican port inwhat is known to sailors as a "sheetcalm."

The water floated like a breast of liquidglass, and a solemn, long drawn heaveor swell ran through it. Tho Bristoltrader, in strict correspondence with herproportions, rolled very uncomfortablyindeed from side to side, bringing herwide spaces of canvas into the mast withmany savage sounding whacks, until thoatmosphere all about seemed filled withthe noise of exploding artillery.

The heat was intense; the hour .about3in the afternoon. Tho dark blue landabout Blewfield's bay swam in thesteamy haze and writhed as though itlived. ,

Seaward the .\u25a0junction of heaven andwater was scarcely distinguishable Intho parched and brassy air. The landwent sloping into mere films, and noth-ing showed upon the face of the oceanBave a large cutter rigged vessel, liftingand sinking upon tho swell at the ins-

tance of about two miles away from thoBristol trailer in tho direction of Blcw-field's bay.

"Mr. Jenkins," said the master of thoBristol ship, "drop tho hand lead overthe side and observe the vessel's drift."

This was done and the rato of driftreported.

"Sir," said Mr. Rogers, tho captain, tohis mate, "it is not my intention tofounder upon a bottom of coral or go topieces on St. John's point. Clew up andhaul down everything tigi!* and les gothe anchor."

Theso orders were duly executed. Theseamen made tho decks busy witiitheirfingers in active motion, and the chaincable roared hoarsely as the weight oftho big anchor swept itsmoking throughtho hawsepipo.

Some half dozen male passengers?women there wero none?lounged upontho little poop in tho sultry shadow castby the awning. Itwas disheartening tosee tho narrow entranco to Savanna laMac almost within reach of a 24 poflnd-er'S throw of its ball, and to bo as littleable to enter it as to walk to it.

"How long is this going to last?" ex-claimed a planter.

"Perhaps a week, sir," answered Cap-tain Rogers, a large, short, purple facedman who hated to be asked questions.

Tho planter rolled tho yellow "whites" jof his eyes to tho heavens and tossed his :hands, with a malediction betwixt his 1teeth.

"What's that yonder, coming roundthat corner of land:" exclaimed anotherpassenger, pointing to the line of coastWhich tho rolling cutter lay becalmedabreast of.

Captain Rogers went to the companionway, picked up the ship's telescope andleveled it.

"Apicaroon!" he exclaimed, and theroar of his voice went in thunder alongthe decks as he bawled to his livelies 1.) Itumble up and load tlie carvonades, andto see all ready with the small arms, andto stand by to sink the scoundrels shouldthey dare attempt to board fhe ship.But it was speedily evident that the pi-rate's quarry was the cutter, and not theBristol merchantman.

The picaroon was a long, black schoon-er, setting very low in tiiewater, heavilyrigged, showing not an inch of canvasas she stealthily crawled over the bur-nished blue heave to tho Impulse of herlong ours, or "sweeps," as though showere some gigantic marine reptile forg-ing her way through it with movementsof her antenna?.

The cutter rolled helpless, with an oc-casional biasing flash sunward as sholifted her wet, sparkling copper our oftho water. On v sudden, however, andas though the men aboard her had butjust waked from sleep, down droppedher swinging, big mainsail, oars wen;

thrown over, aud she made in the direc-tion of the Bristol trailer, slipping hercable as she rounded, without stoppingto buoy her anchor.

But the picaroon buzzed fast in herwake. Apuff of white cloud occasion-ally broke from her bow, and the blackball, ill aimed, w nl skimming ahead ofthe cutter in tho direction of the Bristolmerchan'man like v parched i>ea alonga table.

Before the cutter had measured halt amile the pirate was alongside and lash-ing the vessels together for boarding Ia spider revolves a fly in its web b-. foretrotting aloft to dine off i: In its hole.

Thero was some small crackling ofblunderbusses and pistols, shouts faintin tho distance and a little lifting ofwilito smoke. The business was thenended, and with true pirate celerity theschooner was making for the blue heapof coast, with tho unhappy cutter towingand rolling and flashing iv her wake.

This thievish piece of work had biwatched with helpless wrath by CajRogers and his ship's companj and'no small alarm by tho pa- rs.captain said ho could swear toschooner. Sho was tho wickedest of i.ilthe picaroon pests of those waters, lipronounced her name, and his lacefull of blood with temper as ho did so.

An hour later an inshorebroezo r.;.-.!.??np. The anchor was swiftly oathcadeitto a cheery chorus, and th \u25a0 Bristol traderwas steered for the narrow passage toreceive a pilot for Savanna la Mar..firsundown tho_ship was moored in

harbor, and everything was made snugfor the night. Aconsiderable numberof vessels happened to bo assembled inthe port, and tbe picture was ono ofb?auty and color when, on the sinkingof tho sun and to the blast of a heavypiece of ordnance, soino ecore or two ofradiant streaks of bunting descendedfluttering to tho deck from peak andmasthead.

At 8 o'clock Captain Rogers wentashoro to smoke a pipe in a hotel thatwas much frequented in those days byseafaring gentlemen. He entered a hot,long room in which already a numberofcaptains, mates and such folkwere as-sembled. The atmosphere was thickWith tobacco smoke.

Much was made of Rogers ns a mannewly arrived from England. One thingleading to another,our captain presentlyreferred to the picaroon incident ho hadwitnessed outside tho port.

"That schooner wns undoubtedly theSanta Margarita," exclaimed a ship-master.

"Tho cutter was from Kingston," saidanother. "Allthe owner has in the wideworld Was in her. He is a ruined man,I fear," and he fetched the table a mightythwack witii his great fist as he heapeda variety of sea blessings upon tho pirateschooner.

"The impudence of that Santa Mar-garita." exclaimed a mate, a quiet, soberlaced man, "goes beyond all invention!Sho walks offwith lhe droghers as a boywith applet cut of a field, and stoops tosuch filthy, mean work as plundering thepoor John Canoes."

"She was playing just the same prankswhen I was last here." said CaptainRogers. "Has there been nothing witha pennant at its masthead washingubonr,these waters of late? How is it that thet paulets are allowing this little cruiserto have it all her own way?"

"The Firefly was down here on acruiso threo or four weeks ago," said oneof tho captains, "and chased the Mar-garita for six hours. I'd have thoughtshe would have loitered till she'd snug-gel the gaug of cutthroats under herown hatches."

"Sho was called away to carry dis-patches," said some one.

"The Firefly's not a patch on the Mar-garita in sailing," exclaimed a shipmas-ter. "I'm junked if shouldn't scandalizeher mainsail out of sheer bravado whentho Firefly was winking at her with abow chaser a couploof miles astern deadin her wake!"

"That's where it is!" cried CaptainRogers. "Ifit was not for the greasedlightning of tlie beggar's keel, I'd offermy ship to chase her with and tako mychance of a shindy at home for detentionifI was long in catching her. But blessme, gentlemen! There's nothing is thisport, there's nothing commanded by anyof you, that's going to look at her in abreeze ofwind, while in a dead calm?why. sho came buzzing out this after-noon from round tho corner like a 10oared galley to the thrust of her longsweeps!

"Yet wo ought to nab ber, friends," heconcluded, "we ought to nab her. Herexistence is a standing degradation totho red flag of our country. A thoughtoccurred to mo this afternoon while Iwas watching her walking off with thecutter. Aro we all true men here'r"

He rose as he spoke the words andtook a critical survey of the people roundabout him. Indeed lie had need to bewary, for often it happened that the pic-aroons of those days were secretlyowned *>r employed by persons who weroesteemed of good standing and credit inthe West Indian colonies.

But all the people in the long roomthis night were Englishmen and sailors.Every wan could have named the shipho belonged to. Being satisfied on thishead, Captain Rogers communicated hisscheme.

Itwas very warmly received. The of-fers of assistance were far in excess ofthe requirements of tho little conspiracy.For an hoar or so the matter was debat-ed, and the company then dispersed,with Ihe understanding that all was tobe in readiness by sunset the next even-ing. *

At the hour when tho sun sank thenest day a largo sloop, hoisting hermainsail and stSy foresail, floated quiet-ly' out of tlie harbor through the narrowpassage before a weak offshore breeze.The vessel was about fiveand twenty tonsburden, rigged.with one mast and hadbeen lately employed in carrying sugaralong the coast. Sho was unarmed.Her flush deck swept clear from the taff-rail to the ''eyes."

The night, that followed sundown wasono of rich tropic beauty. The moonwas at her full. Her wake flowed in ariver of greenish splendor across theblack surface of tho water, but the nightbeam was so clear and piercing that theeye easily followed the hard, firm sweepof the line of tho horizon.

When the sloop iiad gained an offingof about two miles, the weak breezescanted, then fell dead, and the hush ofthe night, solemn with Its beauty, camodown upon the sea.

The sloop let go her anchor, but kepther sails hoisted, aud the whiteness ofthe cloths in the light of the moon waslike a beacon of white fire delicatelyburning a long way off on the ocean. Itw;is remarkable that though about mid-night a light, breeze sprang up, tlie sloopshowed no disposition to get her anchorand make a s oond start for her destin-ation, wherever that might be.

Her sails trembled in the wind. Theyware useless, yet she kept them aloft.Seemingly bor notion was to bo underirtamaml sn as to get away at any mo*ment by slipping, as the cutter had donobefore tho picaroon walked offwith her.

Sometimes a single figure stumped thedeck; sometimes three or four. Timeafter time ono or another of those fig-ures would carefully sweep tho sea line,more particularly in the direction of tholand, with a binocular glass. But allremaiued silent and motionless out uponthe Boa. Nbl lling stirr -d but afow shredsof steam white vapor sailing athwarttlie stars, and the water wrinkling un-der the delicate brushing of tits breeze.

Thus passed tho night. Tho dawnbroke in a violet gleam alongtheeasternseaboard. Presently up rose the r,un,aad tho wide scene of ocean and distanthndow of laud was flashed out blue and

brilliant into tho tropic day.Itwas then that the stout, red faced

man, dressed in a widestraw hat ::::danlidmonkey jacket, ceased in his walk toand fro pa the sloop, and picking up atelescope knelt down and pointed it.

"At bstl" ho (."claimed, addressinganother stout, red faced may alongside

or him, clothed In a plain sleeved waist-coat and an old pair of Wellington boots."There they are.Perren, and about time,

too! Apretty long job of waiting thi3has been certainly I"

Tho other man took the glass, directedit and stared long and keenly throughthe lenses.

"Yes," said I.e. "Thero they ajo, rightenough."

Tho object at which he pointed thetelescope was a mero black speck ns yetin the thin, blue hazo upon tho sea un-der the land. But sue developed, herbulk apace as sho came along, urged byanumlxsrof long oars, which rosoandfell at her sides liko hairs of gold.

Sho waa a low, long, black hulledschooner, unquestionably the Idea tical3>icaroon which hod excited Che wrathof Captain Rogers. She showed no color,and her sails wero furled, for the weakdraft of wind that now blew was rightin her teeth as sho camo heading directfor tho sloop.

The two stout, red faced men waikedtho deck together and seemed to give nohoed to tho approaching craft. Theywere the enly persons visible and mightfor the matter of that have formed theentire crew of tlie little vessel. Thoschooner drew alongside, and when showas within a half dozen cables' lengthsome CO or !!0 men came tumbling up out;>f her main hatch, and in a trico herdecks were full ofpeople.

Beauties they were! Never had tbeeyerested upon a choicer assemblage ofscoundrels. They wero black, white andyellow: negroes, chocolate colored Span-iards, renegade Englishmen, tawny withtierce us?vgo of tho sun, draped in asmany costumes ns there wero men?ivred and blue and whito shir's, in coloredbreeches, in grass hats, with sashes roundtheir waists, deadly weapons strappedto their hips and the butt, end of pistol3gleaming on their breasts.

In perfect silence, without, the prelim-inary courtesy of so much OS a hail, thoschooner approached. The motions oftho rowers were directed by signs by atall, scowling desperado who stood neartho main rigging. The long sweeps weretossed mboards, the helm put down, andthe vessel in tragic stillness rangedalongside tho sloop. Then the hush wasbroken by the tall ruffian shouting or-ders to lash tho two vessels together.

At this instant the stout, red facedman, who was indeed no less a person-age than our friend, Captain Rogers, puta whistle to his lips and blew shrilly.Both men then whipped off their clothesto their shirt sleeves and sprang for acouple of cutlasses concealed behind thmast.

In a breath, in response to the sum-mons of tho whistle, a v. nolo mass ofpowerful men camo pouring out of thohatch of tho sloop. They were armedto the teeth, and as they rushed op theydelivered one of those vast, hurricane"hurrahs" which, asdeliversd by Britishthroats, hkve been known agaiu andagain to paralyze tho enemy.

"Now, my friends," roared CaptainRogers, "now we have them! Totalsubmission or no quarter!"

Tho fine old fellowsprang for tho railand was followed by the mass of men?

all of them captains and mates of mer-chantmen except some half dozen ableseamen.

Never was thero a deadlier, moro he-roic boarding rush. It was an affair ofabout five minutes only?howls andyells, cuts and thrusts, the gleam ofbrandished steel, the crackling of ; istols,followed by some dosen ofthe miscreantsjumping overboard, while tho rest weredriven, bleeding and shrieking for mer-cy, down the hatch.

Thero are aged men who still talk ofthis inemorablo capture. By 11 o'clockin tho afternoon the little, sioop and herprize, the schooner, had floated safelythrough the narrow passage and en-tered the barber of Savanna la Mar,where, their arrival being confidentlyexpected and eagerly awaited, they werereceived by thunderous salvos from theguns of tii9 numerous merchantmen.

Seven of thecaptured pirates, tbe mostdesperate cutthroats of the gang, werogibbeted ulontj the coast mid dangled inchains for many a long month after-ward. The rest were variously disposedof.?W. Clark Kussell in Youth's Com-panion. £jj . a

ACHIEF WITHOUT A TRIBE.

Wild Hog is tbo name of a Cheyennechief, albeit he is a chief withouta tribe.About 14 years ago his name was knownthroughout the United States, and forweeks millions of people looked iv themorning papers daily to see what ho wasdoing. For a time he filled westernKansas and, Nebraska with terror. Nowhe resides at Pine Ridge agency and istine of the poorest aud most dilapidatedIndians on the reservation.

In January, 1970, Wild Hog and thetribe of*Cheyenne Indians of which hewas chief were removed to the IndianTerritory. Becoming dissatisfied withtheir new homes, they broke out, and un-der tho leadership of Wild Hog struckout northward through Kansas and Ne-braska. Many depredations were torn-mitted on tho way. Tho Indians killedabout 40 citizens, outraged 10 womenand destroyed nearly $40,000 worth ofproperty. Wild Hog always claimedthat this deviltrywas thy work of a fowyoung bucks who were beyond his con-trol and that they escaped to tho reser-vation. During tho flight northward theUnited States army was always abouione day behind tho Indians.

Finally WildHog and about 200 war-riors, together with their women andchildren, wont into Fort Robinson nndsurrendered. Inducements were offeredthe Indians to return to tho Indian Ter-ritory, but they refused to do so. Fi-nally they wero disarmed, but iv theeffort to do so several soldiers and moreIndiana wero killed. Wild Hog was putin irons and confined in tho guardhouse.The other Indians, including their wivesand children, wero confined in a long,low log building which had previouslybeen used as barracks. Upon their con-tinued refusal to go back peaceably tctho Indian Territory an effort was madeto subdue them by starvation. Theywero deprived of food, water and fueland closely guarded. But they weretough, aud even after several days, whichmust have been ones of suffering, werestill obdurate. It was supposed thatthey wero completely disarmed, but insomo manner the}' had been able tore-tain a few revolvers.

After a few Uay3 of seemingly quietsubjection the vigilance of tho soldierswas in a measure relaxed and the guardreduced to six in number. Suddenly irtho night theso were shot down, cverjone of them being killed outright or disabled. The Indians then rushed outaudBed up Soldier Creek canyon. Tliebreaks and hills of Pine Ridge wereabout half a dozen miles away, and itwas tho hope of tho Indians to reachthem before the sleeping soldiers couldovertake them. Itwala wildrace acrossthe ice and snow. Alcny of the Indianswero barefooted and lefta trailof blood.Encumbered with their women andchildren, they mado slow progress.

Tho garrison, aroused by Ihe shots thatdestroyed the guards, wero soon in pur-suit. Captain Wessel of the Third cav-alry was ii-. command. They came upontho Indians in a little ravine, or coolie,about twomiles north of the fort. Theymado a stand and fought bravely, butwere without arms, and tlie rifles of thecavalry made short work of them. Afterthe soldiers had exhausted all their am-munition there were but a few liveIn-dians, aud these were charged upon andcut down with the sword. Wild Hog'stribe was entirely wiped out. Not aiaan,woman or child was left of tho entireband. But Wild Hog was safely lockedup in tlie guardhouse at Fort Robinson,and that is how he comes to survive?achief without a tribe.?St. Louis Repub-lic.

Curious Old Letters.According to the thirteenth report of

tho historical manuscripts commission,the commissioners found ia the collec-tion of Sir W. Fitzherbort an unusuallycurious and interesting set of documents,evidently the original letters of the se-cret correspondence between tho courtso£ Franco and England during the reignof Charles 11. The only ciphers, ns arule, made use of wero certain numbersin the place of names. Th- body ofeachletter st ems tu.have been written in anordinary hand with sympathetic ink,probably with lemon juice, as is sug-gested by Coleman himself in a letter ofhia printed in the state trials, which,having once been brought to light, isstill legible, though oftentimes faint.

?Sometimes tho whole of a letter hasbeen written in this light brown ink.Sometimes tho secret writing occurs asa part only of a letter, of which tho restis written in common black ink uponordinary, harmless topics. Sometimes itappears as interlineations throughout aletter written with common black ink.In order to bring out these characteris-tics as far ns possible, these -'0 lettershave been copied lino by line, as in theoriginals, italics being used to representthe common black inkandthi usual typebeing used to represent tho. o portionswhich are written with tho sympatheticink.?London Globe.

Sbo Got ItBt a Dor{ravin.A woman in whoso company tho scribe

recently found herself was relating withuouio pride un Instance of hor ownshrewdness. Sho remarked as a sort ofpreface to her story that any ono whowanted to got tho best of her would haveto bo an early riser. Said she:

"Iwanted a screen in the worst way.

Ididn't want a cheap, common lookingone, and I did not want to pay for anexpensive one. So ono rainy day Istarted out to look at screens in all thebest stores. Ofcourte they didn't bothermo when I said Iwas 'only looking,' soI wandered around among the screensat my own sweet will. Thero was one?a paper one, but awfullypretty?tbatjust suited me. Unfortunately my longumbrella got in the way, and Ipunchedn couple of holes in the back of it. Iwas frightened, for Ithought Iought topay for that screen, and I really couldnot afford it. By and by a clerk camealong anil I asked him the prico of it.

'"That's $B,' said he, consulting thetag.

" 'But it's badly damaged,' Iobjected,mildly. 'Couldn't you let me have itfor less? Sco theso holes!*

"Aud when he had consulted the headofthe department he reduced tho screento $f>, and I bought it. Ofcourse Ididn'tliko to pay the enpressage out to Evans-ton, but Iconsented when I realized thatI had saved $8, nnd by paying for tliescreen Ihad damaged had squared thingswith my conscience. Besides, it wasreally a pretty screen."?Chicago Times.

Sham Knowledge.

It is easy enough to learn what the gyp-sies call tho "patter" of various profes-sions. One can discourse learnedly, onleaving a concert hall, concerning thevalue of the music ho has heard, or hemay criticise a picture, with tho properreferences to "foreshortening," "highlights," "middle distance" and tho restofit.

' It is a fine poem?yes, a very finepoem," said a would be critical friend toan author, "but you willexcuse me forsaying I don't think you have a perfectunderstanding of tho sonnet form. Thepause hardly comes in the right place."

The author bowed and smiled merrily,and afterward a common friend said tohim:

"You seem to take criticism verycheerfully."

"Bless you," said he, "that isn't criti-cism, but it amuses Tom to deliver it.The poem ho was talking about isn't asonnet at all. Ithas 19 lines."

Agassiz was ouoe asked what hethought of an attack made on his scien-tific position by a certain scholar andthinker who had a book knowledge ofthe different theories advocated by therepresentatives of science, and decidedthat Agassiz must be ranked in the sec-ond or third class. Ho bur;t into a roarof laughter.

"Why, just think ofit!" he said. "Heundertakes to fixmy place among zoolo-gists, and lie is not a zoologist himself IWhy, he has never even been an ob-server!" ?Youth's Companion.
