6 AN END TO ALL TOILING. There's an end to .til toiling some day— sweet day! 1 But It's weary, the waiting, weary! There's a harbor somewhere in a peaceful bay, Where the sails will be furled and the ship will stay At anchor—some\yhere In the far away— But it's weary, the waiting, weary! There's an end to the troubles of souls op pressed. But it's weary, the waiting, weary! Some time in the future when God thinks best He'll lay 11s tenderly down to rest, And roses'll bloom from the thorns In the breast— But it's weary, the waiting, weary! There's an end to the world with its stormy frown, But it's weary, the waiting, weary! There's a light somewhere that no cares can drown. And where life's sad burdens are all laid down, A crown, thank God! for each cross a crown But it's weary, the waiting, weary! —N. Y. Evening World. f-H Covrru_o I Copyright. by J). A;*pieton Si Co.

Master Ardiek, just reached his majority and thrown upon his own resources, after stating his case to one Houthwick, a ship master, is shipped as second mate on the Industry, bound for Havana. Mr. Tym, the supercargo, descries a sal!. The strange vessel gives chase, but is disabled by the Industry's guns. In the fray Capt. Houth wick and one of the crew are killed, but the Industry is found to be little damaged. Sellinger , first mate, takes charge and puts into Sidmouth to secure a new mate. Several days later, when well out to sea, an English merchantman Is met, whose captain has a letter addressed to Jeremiah Hope, at Havana. The crew of the vessel tell strange tales of the buccaneer Morgan, who Is sailing under the king's commission to take Panama. One- night u litttle later, the English vessel having proceeded on her course, a bit of paper is slipped into Ar dick's hand by one of the sailors. This is found to be a warning of a mutiny plot headed by Pradry, the new mate. Ardick consults Mr. Tym. They resolve to secure the mate, but Pradoy, eavesdropping in the ca'bin, makes through the dorr an'd arouses the crew. Capt. Sellinger joins Ardick and Tym. The crew break through the now barricaded door, but are forced to retire, having lost seven of their number. Finding themselves now 100 short-handed to man age the hoat, Pradey decides to scuttle and desert the vessel, taking his men off in the only available boat. The captain, super cargo and second mate soon discover their plight, but hastily constructing a raft bet away just before their vessel sinks. The next morning a Spaniard draws near them. The man in the rigging shouts: "If you would board us, take to your oars. Bo speedy, or you will fall short." On board they are sent forward with thecrew, being told they wil be sold as slaves on reaching Panama. The ship's cook they find to be Mac Ivrach, "frae Clagvarloch," so a friend. Four days later the Spaniard is overhauled l>y a buccaneer flying the lCng lish Hag. The three Englishmen and Mae Ivrach plan to escape to the buccaneer 011 a rude raft. Sellinger. the last to attempt to leave the Spaniard, is disabled. Just -after the others put off they see a figure dangling from the yard arm. whom they suppose Is Capt. Sellinger. Hailing the buc caneer, our three friends tind themselves in the hands of their old mate, Pradey. He treats them kindly and offers to do them 110 harm if they wil but remain quiet con cerning the mutiny he headed. The Black Eagle, Pradey's ship, comes to Chagre, Cuba, which town they find Morgan has taken under the English flag. From her the Black Eagle with Morgan's fleet pro ceeds to Panama. The command consists of about 1,200 men Having landed, they march 011 to the city. The assault 011 the city is begun. Many of the buccaneers fall, md Ardiek is wounded. Through the smoke he sees Pradey approaching. The city at lust fails. Ardick, coming to, tinds Tym had rescued him from Pradey's murderouH hand by killing the villain. CHAPTER XIV/—CONTINUED. At daybreak the trumpets were blown, and the companies asseutbled under their respective leaders. Break fast was hastily eaten, no delays being made for cookery, but all taken cold, and shortly the word was given to march. A little before this we had learned that Morgan's plan was to pro ceed first to the governor's castlp, making a stern show of warlike force on the way, and there Morgan himself would remain, keeping with hint 50 men. and the rest were to scatter and plunder and ravage at will. ( crtain rules, however, were to be observed, oue being that all must, deposit their spoil in the hall of the castle, where it should remain till the final decision; another was that prisoners—that is, .slaves —were to remain the property of those who seized them. If, never theless, it was added, any desired to bring their slaves to the castle, having a mind to sell them there, they could do so, and such slaves should be guard ed and cared for till their disposal. The stin was creeping up and the breeze had fallen when at last we caught step and set forward down the chief street of the city. The drums were beating spiritedly and the trum pets sounded thrilling blasts, and with our soldierly array, the headpieces, cuirasses and musket barrels flashing in the sun, I thought we presented a fine and altogether awing spectacle. The place was deathly quiet. Every house was closed, and as far as we could see down the street not a person was in sight. Still we traveled along, and at last, just, as I was wondering at tin- extent of this part of the city, the street ended, and we broke out into a considerable square, or pla/.a. Here tin* buildings were large and of a more pretentious sort than any we had yet seen. All were of stone, some of a brown or reddish color, and some of common stone well set in red cement, but few were above three stories in height. The roofs of all were flat, and most had low parapets, on which stood pois of bright flowers or handsome shrubs, anil the walls of some were nearly covered with climbing green ery. Like the street we had left, the plaza was completely deserted, the stiutters of every building around be ing tip. "Hoots!" said Mac Ivrach, in a low tone, '"but they liae secreted ilka dog and cat as well as theirsels. 1 wad be wishing for bit stir o' some sort. Sic stillness 110 seems canny." This 1 conceive pretty well expressed the feelings of us all, who felt a kind of oppression in the continued silence. Morgan had halted a moment, but presently had us forward again, and without any interruption or change in the appearance of things we continued on till we reached the cuttle. This was a considerable stone structure, stand ing on the top of a little plateau, and was defended by high walls and one strong tower. It looked as though this were an ex cellent place for a mine or other de vice, but I was speedily told that this fear was unfounded, for the place had been entered and the chief rooms ex plored, but nothing in the nature of a trap had been found. The keys had been given to Morgan, and the guns spiked. We were but a moment in entering, and while one of the captains, at Mor gan's command, went up to haul down the Spanish flag and put our own in its place, the different companies were formed up in their order, and the last words of advice and command given. Among other things, all were bidden to be sparing of the wine till it was proven that it was not poisoned, to re turn to the castle at nightfall, and to hasten thither at once if two succes sive cannon shots were fired. These were to mean some sudden or immi nent danger. All this being attended to.the com panies, save the picked detail to re main with Morgan, broke ranks aflid shortly quitted the castle. "There to be removed from the hor rors we must see here?" I answered. "I am favorable to it." "And I," said Mac Ivrach. But the words were scarce out of his mouth when a man came running out of the opening of the neighbor street and on seeing us pulled up short. "Saunts and angels defend us!" cried Mac Ivrach. fairly staggering back. "The gaist o' the captain!" For, indeed, the man appeared to be no other than Cftpt. Sellinger. CHAPTER XV. OF THE CONCLUSION OF OUR ORE AT SURPRISE AND WHAT FOLLOWS AT THE HEELS OF IT. Even Mr. Tym changed color, and for my part my legs grew weak and my heart thumped like a fulling hammer. "Why, friends, don't ye know me? Do ye take me for a ghost?" It was the same old hearty, sea rougli voice that we knew so well. It was 110 spirit, but the man's mortal self! Mr. Tym was the first to pull himself together. He rushed forward, and with a little cry of gladness seized Sellinger by both hands and danced the strong skipper about. I was next, and could scarce keep back the tears as I gripped the big brown hands. Even Mae Ivrach grinned like a nierry andrew and cut one step of a caper as he took hi« turn. "But, man," eried Mr. Tym. as we at last released Ihe skipper and stood de lightedly about him, "how can this be? Did we not see you hanged? Aye, dangling your length from the yard arm of the Pilanca? Why. we made out the very white shirt you have on— surely the only one among the crew!" The captain first gave a stare of as tonishment all
