Tho cruw of this steamer tlestit at the Inst mlnuti beenuso tho story of the money has leaked out and tho guilds tiro afraid of Wong-Lc, u noted pliato. To outwit tho latter If Is decided to send the moni'j b .1 small Amrrlcan brig, the "Gull " A crow Is obtained from nnotli r .Ameri an bilg, tho "Huntress," then at Saigon, whli h fad Just linn soil to an English tindlnif firm Captain John Hnv nor a shrewd Yankee, eomm imW the "Gull " Tho American sailors aro con cealed In tho cabin with plentv of guns nnd ammunition, nntl a crew of sl Chin rso Ballois Is shipped ostensibly lor a Nojngo to Corca. As soon as he "Gull" Is out at sea the Anicrlc ms appear and tho Chinese nro Imprlsonul below. All these procautlons ntc In vain, however, for by tho next day Captain IWynor Is Mitlt-Ilcd that a swift junk tint H folohvlng them Is none other thin that of Wong-Lot. Cap tain lUymir elcoldes to bring tho brig nbout In tho wind to wait for tho Junk. When tho latter has overtaken the brig, a. bout puts off fiom the Junk There nro three n.n In It and theic Is nothing nbout them to indicate pliates, but Captain Hay. 1101 Is pusltlve that tho one. who comes nboanl to bpeak to hint Is tho famous Wong-Lee himself, TAUT II. Captain Itnymir could speak tho Chi nese latiKtinfei' like a native, anil tho convci nation, between him and 'Woiig Leo was held In that tongue. 'I nm s-ony to trouble you," hesan the lli.ite, as tho captain advanced, "but I have loht mv mate and three men. Last night at midnight "io honid some one hall from the water, and a boat was low tied to the rc-cuo. A sud den simnll came up and the junk wn- tiilven ua, I think the boat must hae been picked up when daylight came." "He lies, of coutre," said Capt. llay nor to me ns he Inteipieted the state ment, "but we must appear to swallow him whole." Thin turning1 to Wong-Leo he ex pressed his legietM at the loss of the men and his hopes that they had been picked up. We hadn't been anything of them, but otlur crafts weio s-alllng to and fro. We weie m short-handed and the men were so busy that a poor lookout had been kept. He compli mented the man on the spoort of his junk and tin way she was handled, mid boldly stated that our baik was going down the Gulf of Slam to take out cai go from a wteiked mi ichantman. It was p'aln by tho twinkle In Wong-Lee's eyes that lit didn't believe it, but he was a good dissembler. Ho exptcsseil a cuil alty to look the ship over. Wo Knew little his game, but were ready foi it He had a glass of wine In the cabin and mndo good use of his eyes, but not a w canon did he see He en tend the foiecasile with the escuso that he wanted to constiutt one for the Junk but his Idea was to discover If tin n was a watch off duty below. He was aboard for a full half-hour, and hi" fiances took In eveiv detn.il, nml v her he left ho shook hands In a coi dlal way and w.is effusive In his thanks He was hound for tho north ern Philippines, h said, and we would probablj tenialn in sight ot each other all day. "The smiling, deceit ul old repro bate'" growled Captain Itaynor, as the pirate pulled off to his junk. "He came nb iaid expecting to find his cut-throat crew on deck, and he'd have had ros AU3A3 mi mooi snoxvao HUTAIL. sin session In ten minutes. Sharp ns he Is we've deceived him as to numbeis and that we nro aimed. He'll follow us all day and then tiy to board us at night " Tho junk let ua gft a long start of her and then followed after.

She would probably have fifty or sixty men nboard, with muskets, cutlnssis and stlnk-pots, and If she once got alongside we should have our woik cut out for us. The Celestials met with In America nre not flghteis, but the man who nigucs that tho Chi namen at home, and especially tho mnrlncis, won't fight nml light des peiatcly knows mile about them. That same Wong-Lee onre attacked a French conetto canylng eighteen guns and two hundred men, and though ho had only seventy men be hind him, ho c.tmo near making her a piise. AVo should hnve been a fool-i-h lot of men to think of lighting the Junk except ns a last resoit. Oui object was to dodge her, nnd we went about It at once. L'veiy sail which the balk could canv was sptead, and for a time wo were leaving her behind. When we weie about live miles ahead, however, sho began to hold her own. As the wind was light no great tun was made dining tho day, and at sun set, having obtained our westing, tho bnik was headed for the south. If tho junk was bound for the northern I'hllllplnes she would still hold to her west. To our suipilse she did so, but here again Wong-Lee was not sharp enough to fool a Yankee sailor. He went off on his course so slowly that we knew he must bo dragging a bunch of spars astern, and the crafts were not over seven miles apart when daikness closed down. Just then we had a racket aboard. The pilsonerb in the hold got to quar reling, and when I went down to quiet them t found that one had loosened his bond-, and nearly killed a companion. Tho assaulted man asked to be taken to tho captain, nnd when his request was compiled with he said: "I am no pirate, but an honest man. Three ot the men below aro pi rates, and one Is a brother of Wong Lee. They knew that the money wai to go In the bark. That junk we saw astern this morning Is after tho money. We weie to get loose tonight nnd light j ou and make signals to the junk. Two of us would not join, and Wong-Leo's bi other has given me a beating" Tho man was as earnest It was de cided to release his companion and make use of tho two, while the pliates were doubly secured. We went away to tho south with all lights out and two points off our course, and had the biee.e held we should like have seen tho last of tho pliatlcal Junk. Nut It did not hold. At about 11 o'clock It be gan fining down, and at midnight we were becalmed and enshiouded in a fog. Wo might calculate that the Junk had changed It3 com he und head ed after us as soon ns night fell, nnd that iho was now not over live miles away. Our first move after losing steerage way was to stow every sail and haul taut the yards. That Wong Lee's Junk carried sweeps was a sure thing, and It was Just as ceitaln that he had taken our bearing and would come pulling down In seaieh for us. The fog and the calm were to his great advantage, and we were a pretty sober lot uf men as arms weie served out and we wire distributed the length of the ship. It was understood that wo would do our best to repel boaulers, and that If overpowered we should re tieat to tho cabin and hold out ns long as possible with this necessity In view we watered nnd provisioned tho place, and some planks wero got out of the hold to form barricades. Tho released Chinamen bald they wero anx ious for a fight with the Junk, but the two Malas wero detailed to watch them und give orders to cut them down at the first sign of treachery. This 1 rccaution was well taken. Much as we had come In contact with tho heathen, our captain didn't know the extent of their cunning. At about half-past one o'clock with the fog so thick that you had to touch a niun to seo him, and with tho sea perftctly cjlm, wo heard tho noise of sweeps, and the junk was pulled past us ut the dlBtancfl of a biscuit's toss. That she shaved us close wo could tell by feeling a movement of tho air, and by tho ripples from her sweeps break lug against our sides, Sho shot on for perhaps half i mile, and then turned and caino back. Wong-Leo knew our position within half a mile, and ho was going- to take chances ot plumping Into us in the fog, Tho Junk passed us a bit further away this time, and just as eho got opposite both Chlnamen.who 'J?

'. -c-g ' vvero Btnndlnir togctlicr at tho rail, started to hall, I say started, for the Malays wore closo at hand, and tho first notes weie only uttered when the Chinamen lay In a heap. The cry, such qs It was, ijjuBt hnve reached th Junk, ns tho sweeps stopped work for a mo inent, but hearing nothing further she continued her search. It has always seemed to me that tho Junk didn't run us aboard, She passed and re passed us at least eight times, and once sho eamo so neur that wo thought her sweers would Htrlke tho bark. Af ter pulling back and forth for a couple of houis uhc niado off to the south, and by and by passed out of hearing. An hour Inter there was a little breezo aloft. Our upper palls felt It, but down on deck thcro was1 not enough nlr to us nlong for six or fceven miles: before clnyllqht rnme and we got real wind, but to our disgust tho Junk was In plain view In tho north, und not over live miles away. As there were hnlf a dozen other walls In sight we had no fear of her, and knowing that lcceptlnn would no longer avull us we put tho bark's head on a true course for Sara wak. All day long the junk hung In our wake, neither gaining nor losing, nml, to our disgust, the wind began to fine llaro a candle. This breeze sneaked down again as the sun went out of sight. While thote was no nppearance of a fog, the night promised to be a dark one. Wo made as leady as could be when the daikness came, and us soon ns we lost sight of the Junk wo hauled up to the west by live uolnts. Wo kept a breeze until midnight, giv ing us nbout three knots an hour, and kuHs ojo.u ot.im u3not 'sn ijsi -ji uat that "... T.dlm would not last long. We had had a man aloft with the glass for three hours, but he had not once made out the junk. At a quaiter to twelve ho still reported nothing In sight, but half an hour later, as the bark was lazily rising and falling on the ground-swell, the pirate suddenly appealed, coming up astern and close aboard. The lookout aloft had piob ably fallen asleep. The Junk was be ing moved by her sweeps, and theie was Just lime to cull' the men sleep ing on deck when she ran ua aboaid on the poit-quarter. Such yells and shouts ns the pirates uttered would have made a band of Indian wan lots envious, and they had men ready In the rigging with stink iots, and oth ers with grappling lions. The Chinese stink pot Is an open Iron pot filled with some honible smelling compound, and curnlng for about ten minutes. The odcis given out will prostrate a man almost as quick as a bullet. We knew they would come, and one of the Ma la s was detailed to look out for them a in kick them oveiboard. As the crafts came together about forty pirates atempted to board us. Hvery man of us except the Malay open file nnd If we had had only the junk to deal with I am suie wo could have beaten her off. Wong-Lee had a card up his sleeve, however. He low ered two boats, filled them with men, and, whllo we weie bravely holding our own, they boarded us on the starboard bow and came runnlg aft. We had two men down nt the time, both dead, nnd a third badly wounded. Hveryone saw they were to many for us, and nt the call of the captain there was a precipi tate retreat to the cabin. When we came to count noses we found our selves live shoit. The one aloft was still up there, and we knew two were dead. The missing two were Malas, and from their desparato manner of lighting we had little doubt that they also lay dead on the deck. We were thus i educed to nine men, and while we weie cooped up in the cabin the pirates had possession of the decks. We ex pected them to make a rush at the dnois, but no such movement came. They first cleared the decks of the dead, heaving each body into the sea, and then we felt the Junk working her way ahead until dear of us. No shots vvero fired at us, and for a moment we were puzzled to know what the fellows wero nt. Then wo suddenly felt the bark heel to a bieeze, followed by a Jerk and a tug, and Captain Itaynor glow led out: They've got our tow lope aboaid the Junk, a prize ciew on board bote, and we are bound tor old Wong-Leo's head quarteis! Hy daylight he'll have us among tho Islands to tho west, and we might as well ?ny good-bye to each other right now!" We had all plain satl on tho bark, and tho pirate In charge appeared to know how to handle her, but the Junk sailed tho faster and kept tho tow rope taut. Wo could hear the fellows moving about on deck, and, though thby made no effort to get nt us, wo were In a btate of expectancy every mo ment till daylight finally broke, TO DC CONCLUDED. rcmicuro I.ivcr Pills, Tirlght women will use "FEMICURB LIVER PILLS" because they are spec ially prepared for ladles only.
