lie for The Term of His Natural Life By MARCUS CLARKE CHAPTER VI. Continued.) Ho spoke truly. Through tho roar was heard the rattlo of Iron on Iron, us the guard "stood to their arms," and tho wedge of gray cloth broke, In sud- aen terror of tho IoTeled muskets. There was an Instant's pauso, and thon old Pino walked, unmolosted, down tho pris on, knelt by tho body of Itufua Dawes. "Stand back, my ladsl" ho said. "Take him up, two of you, and carry him to tho door. Tho poor fellow won't hurt you." His orders woro obeyed, and the old man, waiting until his patient had boon safely received outsldo, raised his hand to command attention. "I seo you know what I have to toll. The fever has broken out. That man has got It It Is absurd to stipposa that no ono else will bo seized. I might catch It myself. You are much crowded down here, I know; but, my lads, I can't help that; I didn't make tho ship, yon know. It is a terriblo thing, but you must keep orderly and quiet, and bear it like. men. You know what tho discipline is, and It Is not In my power to alter It. I shall do my best for your comfort, and I look to you to holo mo." Holding his gray head very erect In deed, the brave old fellow passed straight down tho line, without looking to tho right or left He had said just enough, and ho reach ed the door amidst a chorus of "BraToI" "True for you, doctherl" and so on. But when ho got fairly outside, he breathed more freely. Ho had performed a tick lish task, and ho knew It. "'Ark at 'em," growled tho Moocher from his corner, "a-cheerln at tho noos!" "Walt a bit," said the awter intelli gence of Jemmy Vetch. "Give him time. There'll be three or four more down afore night, and then we'll seel" CHAPTER VII. It was lato In the afternoon when Sarah Purfoy awoko from her uneasy clumber. She had been dreaming of the deed she was about to do, and was flush ed and feverish, but, mindful of the consequences which hung upon tho suc cess or failure of the enterprise, she rallied herself and ascended, with as calm an air as she could assume, to the deck. Tho Malabar seemed to be enveloped In an electric cloud, whose sullen gloom a chance spark might flash into a blaze that should consume her. The woman who held her In her hands-the two ends of the chain that would produce this spark looked down Into tho barricade. Three men, leaning carelessly against the bulwarks, watched her every motion. "There she Is, right enough," growled Mr. Gabbett, as If In continuation of a previous remark. "Flash as ever, and looking this way, too. There, look at that" he added, as tho figure of Maurice Frero appeared side by side with that of the waiting maid, and tho two turned away up the deck together, Maurice Frere had como behind her and touched her on the shoulder. Since their conversation the previous evening, he had made up his mind to be fooled no longer. The girl was evidently play ing with him, and ho would show her that ho was not to be trifled with. "Well, Sarah." "Well, Mr. Frere," dropping her hand and turning round with a smile. "How well you are looking to-day! Positively lovely. I say, though, what is the use of playing fast and loose with a fellow this way?" She cast her eyes down to the deck, and a modest flush rose on her cheeks, "I have so much to do," she said In a half whisper. "There are so many ej-s upon me, I cannot stir without being seen." She. raised her head as she spoke, and to give effect to her words, looked round the deck. Her glance crossed that of the young soldier on the forecastle, and, though the distance was too grcit lor her to distinguish his features, she guessed who he was Miles was jealous, Frere, smiling with delight at her change of manner, came clone to her, and whis pered In her ear. She affected to start, and took the opportunity of exchanging a signal with the Crow. "I will walk with you, at 8 o'clock," said she. "They relieve guard at 8," he said, deprecatlngly. She tossed her head. "Very well, thpn, attend to your guard; I don't care." "But, Sarah, consider " "As If a women In love ever consid ers!" said she, turning upon him a burn ing glance, which In truth might have melted a more Icy man than he. She loved him, then! What a fool he would bo to refuse. The guard could relieve itself for once without his supervision. "Very well; at 8, then." "Hush!" said she. "Here comes that stupid captain." And as Frere left her she turned, and. with her eyes fixed on tho convict bar ricade, dropped the handkerchief she held In her hand over the railing. It fell nt the feet of the captain, and with a quick upward glance that worthy fellow picked It up and brought it to her. "Oh, thank you, Captain Blunt," said she, and her eyes spoke more than her tongue. "Did you tako tho laudanum?" whis pered Blunt, with n twinklo In his eye. "Some of It," said she. "I will bring you back the bottle." Blunt walked aft, humming cheerily, and saluted Frero with a slap on tho back. The two men laughed, each at his own thoughts, but their laughter only made tho surrounding gloom seem deep er than before. Sarah Purfoy, casting her eyes toward the barricade, observed a change In the position of the three men. The Crow, having taken off his prison cap, held It at arm's length with one hand, while he wiped his brow with tho other, ner signal had been observed. During all this, Rufus Dawes, removed to tho hos pital, was lying flat on his back, staring at tho deck abovo him, trying to think of something ho wanted to say, Tho place where ho lay was but dim ly lighted. Ho could but just see tho deck nbovo his head, and distinguish the outlines of three other berths, ap parently similar to his own. Ho could bear gasps and moans and mutterlugs j -the signs that his companions yet lived. All at onco a voico called out: "Of course his bills aro worth four hundred pounds; but, my good sir, four hundred pounds to a man In my position Is not worth tho getting. Why, I'vo given four hundred pounds for a smile of my girl Sarah I She's a good girl, as girls go, Mrs. Lionel Crofton, of tho Crofts, Sov enoaks, Kent Sovonoaks, Kent Seven A gleam of light broko In on tho dark ness which wrapped Rufus Dawes' tor tnrod brain. The man was John Rex, his berth-mato. With an effort ho spoke, "Rex!" "Yes, yes, I'm combs: don't be In a hurry. The sentry's safe, and tho how Itxer Is but five paces from tho door. A rush upon deck, lads, and shos ours! Ihat Is, mine. Mine and my wife s, Mrs. Lionel Crofton, of Seven Crofts, no, Oaks Sarah Purfoy, lady's maid and nurse ha! ha! lady's maid and nursor' This last sentence contained tho namo- cluo to tho labyrinth In which Rufus Dawes' bewildered Intellects were wan dering. "Sarah Purfoy!" Ho remem bered now each detail of tho conversa tlon ho had bo strangely overheard, and how Imperative it was that ho should, without delay, reveal the plot that threatened the ship. How that plot was to bo carried out, ho did not pause to consider; he was conscious that he was hanging over tho brink of delirium, and that, unless he made himself understood before his senses utterly deserted him, all was lost He attempted to rlso. but found that his fever-thralled limbs refused to obey tho Impulse of his will. He made an ef fort to speak, but his tonguo clove to tho roof of his mouth, and his jaws stuck together. He could not raise a finger nor utter a sound. Ho closed his eyes with a terrible sigh of despair, and re signed himself to his fate. At that In stont tho door opened. It was 0 o'clock, and Pino had como to havo a last look at his patients before dinner. It seemed that there was somebody with him, for a kind, though somewhat pompous voice remarked upon the scantiness of accom modatlon. "TTnrn thnv urn " onM Tln "aW nt 'em. This fellow" going to tho side of Rex "Is tho worst If he had not a constitution like a horse, I don't think he could live out tho night." "Thrpft. plirhfpAn. RArdti fft- " mus tered Rox; "dot and carry one. Is that an occupation for a gentleman 7 No, sir. uooa nignt, my lord, good night Hark! tho clock Is striking 9; five, six, seven, elchtl Well, vou've had Vour dnv. nnd can't complain." "A dangerous fellow." mavn Pine, with the light upraised. "A very dangerous fellow. . This Is the place, you see a regular rat hole; but what can ono do?" wme, let us get on deck," said Vlck ers, with a shudder of disgust. Rufus Dawes felt the sweat break out Into beads on his forehead. They sus pected nothing. They were going away. He must warn them. With a violent ef fort, in his agony he turned over In the bunk, and thrust out his hand from the blankets. "Halloo! what's this?" cried Pine, bringing the lantern to bear upon It "Lie down, my man. Eh? water, is It? There, steady with It now;" and he lift ed a pannikin to the blackened, froth fringed lips. Tho cool draught moist ened his parched gullet, and the convict made a lost effort, to speak. "Sarah Purfoy to-night tho prison Mutiny!" - Tho last word, almost shrieked out, In the sufferer's desperate efforts to ar ticulate, recalled the wandering senses of John Rex. "Hush!" he cried. "Is that you, Jem my? Sarah's right Wait till sho gives tho word." "He's raving," said Vickers. Pino caught the convict by the shoul der.v "What do you say, my man? A mutiny of the prisoners?" With his mouth agape and his hands clinched, Rufus Dawes, Incapable of further speech, made a last effort to nod assent, but his head fell upon his breast; the next moment, tho flickering light, tho gloomy prison, the eager face of the doctor, and the astonished face of Vick ers, vanished from before his straining eyes. CHAPTER VIII. The two discoverers of this awkward secret held a council of war. Vickers was for at once calling tho guard, and announcing to tho prisoners that the plot whatever it might be had been discovered; but Pine, accustomed to con vict ships, overruled this decision. "You don't know theso fellows as well as I do," said ho. "In tho first placo there may bo no mutiny at all. Tho whole thing Is, perhaps, Bomo absurdity of that fellow Dawes and should wo onco put the notion of attacking us Into the prisoners' heads, there Is no telling what they might do." "But tie man seemed certain," said tho other. "He mentioned my wife's maid, too!" "Well," says Pino, "look here. Sup pose wo tell theso scoundrels that their design Is known. Very good. They will profess absolute Ignorance, and try again on the next opportunity, when, perhaps, wo may not know anything about It. At all events, wo aro completely Ignorant of tho naturo of tho plot and tho names of tho ringleaders. Let us double the sentries, and quietly get the men under arms. Let Miss Sarah do what sho pleases, and, whpn tho mutiny breaks out, we will nip It In the bud, clap all the villains wo get Jn Irons, and hand them over to the authorities in Hobart Town. I am not a cruej man, sir, but wo nave got a cargo of wild beasts aboard, and must bo careful." According to tho usual custom on board convict ships, tho guards relieved each other every two hours, and at 0 p. ni. tho guard was removed to tho quarter-deck, and tho arms which, In tho day time, woro disposed on tho top of tho arm chest, wcto placed Jn an arm rack constructed on the quarter-deck for that purpose. Trusting nothing to Frero t ho. Indeed, br Pine's advice, was kept In hrnoranco of the wholo matter Vlckors ordered all tho mon, savo those who had boon on guard during tho day, to bo under trms In tho barrack, forbade communication with tho upper deck, and placed as sentry at tho bar rack door his own sorvaut, on old sol dier, on whoso fidelity ho could thor oughly roly. He thon doubled tho guards, took tho keys of tho prison him self from tho non-commissioned officer whoso duty it was to keop them, and saw that tho howltier on the lower dock was loadod with graps. It was a quar ter to 7 when Pino and ho tool their station at tho main hatchway, determin ed to watch until morning. At a quarter past 7 any curious per son looking through tho window of Cap tain Blunt's cabin would have seen an unusual sight. That gallant commander was sitting on a chair, and the hand some waiting maid of Mrs. Vickers was standing by his side. His gray hnlr was matted all ways about his reduoneil face, and ho was blinking Uko an owl In tho Bunshlno. He had drunk a larger quantity of wlno than usual at dinner. "Cuc-como, Sarah," he hlccoughod. "It's all very fine, my lnss, but you needn't be so hlc proud, you know. I'm a plain sailor plain s'lor, Srr'h. Ph'n'as Bub-blunt, commander of tho Mal-Mal-Malabar. Wors' 'sh good talk In'? You lovsh me, nnd I hie lovsh you, Sarah." Tho ship's bell struck seven. Now or never was tho time. She seized tho mo ment, drew from her pocket the lauda num bottle and, passing her hand over his shoulder, poured half Its contents Into the glass. "Come, finish thnt and bo quiet, or I'll go away," sho said. Ho balanced himself on his heels for a moment, and, holding by tho molding of tho cabin, stared at her with a fatu ous smile of drunken admiration, then looked nt tho glass In his hand, hic coughed with much solemnity thrice, and, as though struck with a sudden sense of duty unfulfilled, swallowed tho contents at a gulp. Tho effect was al most Instantaneous. He dropped tho tumbler, lurched toward the woman at tho door, and then making a half-turn In accordance with the motion of tho vessel, fell Into his bunk, nnd snored like a grampus. Sarah Purfoy watched him for a few minutes, and then having blown out tho light, stepped out of the cabin, and clos ed the door behind her. The dusky gloom which had held the deck on the previous night enveloped all forward of the main mast A lantern swung in the forecas tle, and swayed with the motion of tho ship. Tho light nt tho prison door throw a glow through the open hatch, and in tho cuddy at her right hand the usual row of oil lamps burned. Sho looked mechanically for Vickers, who was ordi narily there at that hour, but the cuddy was empty. So much the better, she thought, as sho drew her dark cloak around her and passed Frere s door. As sho did so, a strango pain shot through her temples, and her knees trembled With a strong effort she dlspolled tho dizziness that had almost overpowered her, and held herself erect. It would never do to break down now. Sho seemed to bo listening for some thing. Her nervous system was wound up to tho highest pitch of excitement Tho success of the plot depended on the next five minutes. At thnt Instant tho report of a musket shot broko the si lence. The mutiny bad begun! Tho sound awoko the soldier to a sense of his duty. He sprang to his feet, made for the door. Tho moment for which tho convict's accomplice had waited approached. Sho clung to him with all her weight Suddenly tho rich crimson died away from her lips, leaving them an ashen gray color. Her eyes closed In agony; loosing her hold of him, she staggered to her feet, pressed her hands upon her bosom, and uttered a sharp cry of pain. Tho fever which had been on her for tvo days, nnd which, by n strong exer cise of will, sho had struggled again, encouraged by the violent excitement of tho occasion, had attacked her at this supreme moment. Deathly pale and sick. she reeled to the side of tho cabin. There was another shot, and a violent clashing of arms, and Frere, leaving the mlserablo woman to her fa to, leaped out on to the deck.

Tho Massachusetts experiment sta tion kept track of tho cost of feed cat en by threo farm horses for flvo years, Tho feed consisted of liny, corn, onts and othor common feeding stuffs. The cost of tho ration averaged from to 24 cents per bend dolly. At the Oklahoma station Kalllr corn was used quite extensively. With Knfllr corn and ordinary corn at 20 cents a bushol, oats 25 cents, bran 25 cents per 100 pounds, the average cost of a work horso'a dally ration was 17 cents. If all horso owners understood how good oats aro for horso feed thcro would bo bettor horses In tho country. Corn Is almost unlit for tho hard worked horso. If you feed oats tho horses may not look qulto so fat, but they will bo In bettor condition. They will havo moro llfo and feel more Uko working, nnd It Is a settled fact thnt they will do nioro work during tho season by n great deal, enough moro that it will pay well to feed on oats.
