+ Skeleh' Bravery, Doctor, sald my friend the third oMeer, Isn't such a simple thing af you think it. Oné mdh is brave in one way, and another in a different one, Often enough, that which is ealled bravery 18 hothing more than custo, You wouldn't go up on the foreroyul- yard in half a gale to reef sail, would you? Not you! You'd be afraid Well, you might think me a brave man because I would, But then I'd be afraid to cut a chap’s leg off, and yon wouldn't, Thitt was what old Captain Hoskins, whom 1 wsed to sail with, could never | "or understand. If a man was a bit nerv-| ous about the sen, he used to look | down on him as all sorts of 4 coward But there enme a day when he learn a | better. : | It happened when I was with hin | ih | three-masted sailing-ship, the Arfow. We lay at Singapore, along- | gide Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading with a general cargo for Liverpool The principal object in that cargo was | a lon that we were shipping for London, It lay In a strong cage of | wood and fron, with a door in the front through which it eould be fed It was a fine big bo ute, and every time | it stretched itself you could see the | miscles slipping over its sides and the | big, wicked-looking claws peeping out of the pads of its feet in a way that made you very thankful for the bars We had a passenger or two, ohne of whom was a young girl who went by the name of Hilda Bandford, Directly | the old man set eyes on her trim figure and her wealth of golden hair, he was struck all of a heap, So to speak, and I could see that he was promising him- self a mighty pleasant voyage, | The other passenger was a strange, lean, wiry man, who wore gold eye-| glasses, and kept peering about the | ship in a mest uncomfortable way. He gave his name Professor Hay. | though Wwe didn't find out what he pro fessed until later, An hour ofr two we started this Mr. Hay came up to the old man and began asking him a lot of gues tions. “Captain,” he sald her vously, we shall have a quiet pa “lI don't sée why we paid Hoskins genlally. Mt. Hay looked up at the sky. I'here seems to be a good desl of | wind about,” he said. “Pretty fain,” sald Hosking, “That's | whit's going to take us hohe, Not beifig A Steamer, we can't do without Ah” “You're sure it's quite safe?” Hay. “Rafe!” days the old man, getting on his high horse, “safe! I'tu sailing this ship.” The ius before “1 hope | snge."” shouldn't,” asked | Professor smiled spologetically “You will escuse me, Captain” he said, “I did not mean any oifence. | The fact is 1 am constitutionally ners | dolhg his work [1 tenlly {hive | being told | | About, ‘after him, By J. Sackville Martin. to It,” sald Hoskins modestly, “A brave mah and a pretty woman are twb of the finest sights in creation, They ought always to be together.” There was something in hig tone that made her blush, and though she agreed with him, she took the frat opportunity of clearing off to another part of the deck. Rbortly afterwards the next few beat weather, and stmoothiv, 1 eolld see ohe of two things that set me thinking, The firgt was that the old man was making himself uncominonly attentive to Mids Randford. The steond wad that Me, { Hay, In a quiet and timid sort of way, was thinking a good deal of her too, For my part, 1 thought the girl faheled Hay rather thant Hoskins: and though ghe couldn't avold the “old man” aml cottld not help listening to his Gel yarn, I could her eyes turning forwapds towards the waist, whee we put to sea, aye we hud the everything went QO Hay was puttiiig in his time looking at the lon. Ofte afternoon the skipper was sit ting beside Mi 1ford on the poop- deck, when Hay eame up the panion and made his way towards them, “11 aa ere's ething want you, Captain,” he said, “It's getting on my mind dnd makldg me duite un- comfortable hat tian whose busi- hess it is to look after the lon Isn't properly The animal isn't getting enough food.

The “old man” wis marching up and down with a quarter-de?k trot, casting glances dt her and thinking how pretty she was, when suddenly he uttered a howl that would have fright ened an elephant and spring into the port miggen rigging, 1 wads near at the time, and 1 looked at hit, wonder ing whether he had gone madi Then I saw what he had seen, and 1 went up to the starboard mizeen shrouds as quickly as he nd gone up the pory ones, © The girl raised her head and looked up at the Captain and he gaped down at Ber and tried to shot, But | for some time he cduld only wake faces, “Look! look!” he yelled “come up the rigging!” The loose!"

There twas hothihg to be done but to ellmb up the rigging.
