Phillips," traders, of Saigon, China, want to ojtabllsh branches at Sara wak, llortico, and for tills purposo aio tn send tij.lXO each, In silver, by a steamer. Tlie crow of tills steamer desert at the last inlnuto because tlio story of the money bus leaked out and the pallors nro afraid of Vong-Lee, a noted pirate. To outwit t li latter It It di tided to send the money by a small American brig, tio "Oull," Capt. John Rayt or, commander. The crew Is obTalned from another American brig, the "Huntress," then at Salmon, which had Just lii"-n so'.d to an English trading llrm. The American sailors are concealed In the crvbln with plenty of gilnsnnd auimuiiltlnii, and a crew of six Chinese sailors Is ship ped ostensibly for n voyage to e'oiea. As soon as the "Gull" Is out at sea, the. Americans appear and the Chinese are tin prisoned below. All thes precautions aro In vnln, however, nnd before long dipt. Rnynor realizes that the Junk of Wong Lic is In pursuit. The chase Is kept tip, with various maneuvering, for several Taj's" until (nially the brig Is boarded by tho pirate and his crew. After a short eon t t. In which several are killed, tlio Americans retreat to the cabin and liarrl- i le themselves In. Wong-I.ee leaves a irew on the brig and starts to tow It to wnrd his headiuarters. The Imprisoned Americans begun to think that all 13 up with them. TAUT III. Wo peeped out at ilnyhrcnk to find that we were approaching nn Island one nf tlio group of three hundred scatteied along the shore of the China Sea. We could make out about twenty Pirates on the main deck, nnd knew that at least half that number were aft. The Junk had cast us off, nnd tho hark was working slowly past the Is land t" mnke nn anchorage to the west of it. faptnin Rnynor was for opening lire at once, but wo dissuaded him. If the pirates had been anxious to mur der us they would have attacked long ago. nnd It seemed wiser to let them shirw their band beforo thete was nny more bloodshed. y nnd by the anchor went down, the sails were clewed up, and of a sudden every pirate deserted the ship. We at first regarded this as a ruse to draw us out of hiding, but after half an hour had passed we, carefully stole out on deck. A beautiful green Island lay on our gtat board side, only a pistol shot away, while there were about fifty huts scat tered along the beach. We could sco women and children nmong the men, nnd the junk was at anchor further to the west of us. As to the man who had been aloft when the light began, we could see nothing of him, nor were we afterward able to ascertain his fate. It is likely that after finding the pliates in possession he leaped over board nnd was drowned. No notice was taken of us by those on tho Junk or beach for a full hour, and we had time to go over the bark. The Pirates had robbed her forecastle of all cloth ing and bedding, emptied the scuttle butt of water and carried off all the provisions: they could lay hands on. Tlu re was no way into tho hold from the forecastle or they would have found and released our prisoners. When he had had a. blto to eat wt went down to give them the same. They had a shrewd lden of what had happened, and Wong-Lee's brothei boastlngly said: "Wo shall not be here long, nnd I will make you pay well lor tho way we ha(. been treated. You will all be dead before noon!" At the end of nn hour a boat with a white Hag pulled off the shore, and of the three men In It we easily recog nized Wong-Lee. lie came alongside anil on board, sheltered by his Hag, nnd he appeared to be In great humor. 'Captain," he began, after looking us over, "I am a pirate, but am sick of j-ht .Iding blood. We could have killed you all last night, but I bad a better plan. There Is my junk with fifty men aboard. There are over one hundred on the island. If there were forty of you tho bark could not be taken out of here against us. I don't want her, i nil I don't can; to shed more blood, but 1 want the money and will have it." "Then you'll have to fight for It as long as we have a man alive!" replied Captain Rnynor. "You are not a fool!" continued the pirate leader. "We can run tho Junk clown and board you, or do the same with our boats. If you take shelter in the cabin one stlnk-pot sent through the skylight will drive you all out. Let me get the money out of the bark, und you can be off at once." "Not a dollar of It shall you have while I can fire a gun!" was the cap tain's answer, and desperate as was the outlook we save htm three cheers and swore to stand by him. Til give you half an hour to think it over," said Wong-Lee as ho made ready to go, and he shook hands all around as he went over the rail. We would tight. That was decided. Tho fact was, no one believed the pi rate's word. The Idea was that he meant to put us to death, surrender or no surrender. It would be tho break ing up of his island huunt to let us re turn to Saigon and report. Ho wanted tho money and he wanted our lives, Skins on firo with torturing, disfiguring, Itching, burning, bleeding, sraly, and pimply humors, Instantly relieved by a warm bath with CuTlcnu H0A1-, a slnplo application of CirricuuA (ointment), tho great skin curj, mid a full doso of CUTiuutu Husomknt.

Lewi; and ho wanted to got both by losing as few men as possible. During the naif hour allowed us we barricaded the cabin skylight and made tho windows more secure, nnd we were ready for trouble when Wong-Lee cntne oft and asked us what we had decided on, "We ure going to light!" was the prompt renly, and the lira to held up his lmnn t.' i signal and ten boats, each lidding seven men, pulled off fiom the bench. Wo opened lire at once, and twice we brought them to a standstill. If we ha.l had nine more men the gang could never have reached us. I believe we killed or wounded twenty-five of them in the course of flvo minutes. The range was close and we had a dead rest o-Lee- m Yr $1 - ST V 7- WE GAVE THEM A LAST VOLLEY AND HAN FOll THE CABIN. on the rail. As the boats got alongside wo gave them a last volley nnd ran for the cabin. The pirates tumbled aboard with the determination to make short work of us, but they soon found them selves In a hornet's nest. Our fire swept all the forward decks, and those aft could not set at us through the sky light because of the planks. They were aboard of til'.- bnrk about fn minutes and then wlthdrew.nnd wo tossed over board four of their number who bail been killed. We had scarcely cleared the decks when Wong-Lee came along side again. Ho was still in a pleasant mood, and had a smile for everyone as he said: "You made a good flgh't, but don't j on see the situation'.' We can set fire to the bark and burn you out. Give- up the money and you may be off In an hour." , When Captain Ituynnr replied that a pirate's word was worth nothing, nnd that we might better be killed fighting, ihe fellow drew himself up with great dignity and said: "Wong-Lee is a pirate, but mt a liar' I will remain aboard until the last Ikix is out and you are ready to sail away. You will have me as a hostage against i nltnnlr " I saw the twinkle- In Captain Itay nor's eye, but there was no chance to lot me into his plan. He agreed to give up the money on those terms, and a quarter of an hour later the first boxes were being lowered Into a boat. Not a native olferecl to come aboard of us, but w hen half tlu boxes were out I saw a lot of than swimming off to the Junk from thu shoro. This satisfied me that a trick was being played, though Wong-Lee continued to look as Inno cent as a babe. When tho last bo:c was over the rail he said: 'You are now at liberty to sail away. You are brave men, nnd I nm sorry to have killed any of the crew. I wish you a speedy voyage to Saigon." "Don't bo in a hurry to go," re plied the captain, ns the pirate ex tended his hand for a shake. "I have several persons aboard who will be glad to see you. "Hoys, rouse up those chaps from below." Four men descended Into the hold, while the other flvo of us kept guard over Wong-Lee, Ho was considerably startled, and we saw him custlng fur tive glances toward the Junk. When the prisoners were on deck and he recognized his brother among them there was a bit of a scene. He wanted to signal for a boat to convey them ashore, but Captain Haynor grimly said: "Mr. Wong-Lee, this Is a cash deal. Is the life of your brother, with tho rest of these skunks thrown In, worth $25,000?" "How do you mean?" "I menn that when half of the money has been returned we will pass them over Into a boat. If you don't want to deal that way we'll kill every man of the gang within flvo minutes!" The plrato pondered for a moment. If tho men were released, they would add to his numbers, If half the money was returned It would only make a little extra trouble, and it would soon be in his possession again. He tried to look chagrined, hut he simply looked cunning, and we all knew how he was figuring. He called a boat und ordered twelve of tho boxes returned, and while they wero coming over tho rail I no ticed that tho junk was diiftlni: slow ly down upon its. "Well, I am pleased, and now I will bid you good-by," said AVong-Leo as tho prisoners went over tho sldo and ho prepared to follow. "Hut wo can't sparo you Just yet!" replied tho captain, "Your Junk Is drifting too near. He kind enough to slsnal her that If she conies a foot nearer this gang of pirates will want a new leader!" "Hut what Is this?" "You came aboard as a hostage, and you will remain until we feel safe. Slgnnl that Junk!" Wong-Leo raised his head and ut tered a shout, and the Junk dropped her nnchor. Then, nctlng under In structions, ho said to those In the boat which had started to pull oft for tho shore: "You will have the rest of the money sent aboard as the price of my life. Tell the people that It tho bark Is at tacked I shall be killed at once!" The next half hour was full of excite ment. There was communication bc twfen the Junk and the shore, a great deal of shouting and running nbout, and for a time we expected to be at tacked. Two boats finally came off with the boxes, and Wong-Lee said to the people: "You see how It Is. These Americans are full of tricks. They will take mi llv.e miles out to sea with them, and then put me In a boat to be picked up by the- Junk. If you Interfere with them I am a dead man. We must hope for better luck next time." Not a man murmured, though It mttfrt have been like pulling teeth to give up that money. As soon as the boats were clear we lifted the anchor, made plain sail, and Wong-Lee himself pi loted us around tho Island and out to sea. Not a musket was llred at us as we went, nor did tho pirates shout and menace. When we wore a good five miles off shore we made a boat ready and then swung our yards. There were several sails In sight, and we no longer feared the Junk. "It was well done," said Wong-Lee, as he made ready to leave us. "You Americans are a sharp people." "What was your plan?" asked Cap tain Itaynor. "To let you go Just ns I promised," smiled the pirate. "I am sorry to have lost the money, but we must take chances." "This was a deal for cash." "Yes, and I lost. You aro a very sharp people." We were hull down when the Junk picked up Wong-Lee, and none of us ever saw him again. He shifted his lair to another island at once, nnd a year Inter a Hritlsh man-of-war sent him and his. gang to the bottom of the sea. I have often wondered If he would have kept his word with us. But for our bidding him on bonrd, the junk would have come down upon us und we would have been exterminated. If there was a plan to pursue us after ho was picked up, It was abandoned, or at least he failed to overtake us. THE END. A consu mr. tlve hopes and hopes, but a. time comes when hope ends, and the black shadow of despair forecasts the coming of death. Thou, sands of doc tors say that - consumption is Incurable. Thousands of consumptives believe that there is ''nothing much the trouble and that there is no need to bother with medicine." llofu nre wrong. Consumption is the most deadly of diseases but it is distinctly curable. It has its inception, like all other wasting di eaes, in disorders ofjhe digestive organs, and the first step towards its cure must be the relief of these disorders. Ninety-eight per cent, of all cases of con sumption are cured by Dr. Pierce's Oolden Medical Discovery. Thousands of con sumptives have testified to their complete and permanent recovery through its use, after they were given up by the doctors and nil hope was gone. It corrects all disorders of the digestion, makes assimilation perfect, fills the blood with the life-giving elements that build up new, firm nnd healthy tissues, and acting directly upon the lungs drives out all disease germs. It is a specific for all lingering, bronchial, throat and lung affections. "I have been troubled with ItiillRestlon and dyspepsia " writes Cieo. H. Slater, ., of Yates City, Knox Co., Ills., "for the latt two years. I got a trattle of your ' Oolileu Medical Discovery' nnd took it as you directed. It did me so much good I am going to get another Imttle and take it. It is the best medicine in the world for those who have stomach trouble. I have recommended it to several already."
