On board the Keynard waa an old aalt known to all hand aa "Uomon Ned." II had btvn a whaler In hi time, had deaerted and anont aome year beach-rmnblng aniiing the Ialanda of th South Beaa. Ami very aoon, through hla p-lou tongue, he had all handa w lulling themaelvna clear of the "old hooker" and enjoying life In th lilanda, liwtead of emitting about, hated her and there and everywhere by th matea of the lUiiyard. whoae main purpo In Ufa a to knock a man down In order to make him alt up. Preaently three, or fiur handa be came Infatuated with tho Idea of set tling on an Inland, and old Ned, nothing J-jth. undertook to take charge of the party If thvy would make an atumpt to clear from the ahlp. The old man had taken a fancy to young Jtenton. And the youngster, when tho Idea waa Imparted to him, fell In with il enthua lustltully, for he waa exaHTated with the treatment he had recedved on board the guano-man (tb afterguard of an American guano ahlp are a rough lot). Tho ahlp waa lying on and off land, there being no anchorage, and before the plan had been UIucuhI more than a few hour the mm, Ave peravna In all, determined to put It Into execution. A anmll whalo boat u towing astern of the veaael, In case the wind should full light and the ahlp drift In too clone to the ahore. It waa a fine night, with a light broexe, aiul there waa, they thought, a gixl chance of getting to the outhwird to one of the Siimunn group, where they could t tie; or, by chipping on board a trading schooner there, might later on atilke ajine other Inland to their fancy. By atenlth they managed to atow In the boat a couple of anmll breakers of water, holding, together, sixteen gal lon, and the force wile break barge, with blHcult enough for three men la a day per man for teo days. They man aged also to Meal four hams, nnd each man brought pfp?8 and tobacco and matches. A harpoon with some line, nn old galley frying-pan, moat, sail and oar nnd some blankets covered the equipment. For they took no com pass, though thvy made several at tempt at first to get at one slung In the cabin und trl fd at first to take one out of the poop binnacle, but the of ficer of the deck was too wldo awake for them to rink ithat, and the cabin compass was screwed to the roof close to the skipper's berth; and so the old man who was their leader, old sailor and whaler as he was, actually gave up tho Idea of taking a eompnus, nnd these people without more ado one night slipped over the side Into the whale boat, cut the painter, ad by daylight the boat was out of sight of land and of ship. They were sailing upon the Taclflc, running six or seven miles be fore a strong northeast breeze and ex pecting to sight land In lea than a week, and were already anticipating a freedom and luxury of Island life In store for them. Three days later It fell calm, and they had to take to the oars. The iun uua perpendicular, tho i a sheet of gliuta, reflecting hark Upon th'lll the bull of fir overhead.

And then k hat'ii'wm-d that, ill ami aufferlng aa he waa from tile nsonlea of hunger and thirst, the herolo nature of old "Boston Ned,, came out, and his bold aallor'a heart chevred and encour- mpi his wretched, despairing compan ion. All that night and for the greater Jurt nf the next day he stood In the stern F1, gTanplng the bund ing steer oar tW the boat swayed and aurgi-d along b.-fore the gale, constant ly watching lest she should broach to and smother In the roarhig was; the u'hers lay In the bottom fwbly bulling out the water, encouraged, urged, and driven to that exertdm by the -gallant old American seaman. Toward noon the sea moderated; in the afternoon It died away altogether. and again the boat lay rising and fall ing to the lung Pacific swell, and "Bos ton Ned" Hung hla exhausted frame down In the atern sheets and alept. Twenty daya out the last particle of food and watvr had be.-n consumed, and though the boat waa now steering as near wvstward aa oM Ned could Judge, before a gentle, southeast trade, mad ness and despair were coming quickly upon them, and on the twenty-third day two of th five miserable creatures began to drink copiously of sea-water the drink of death. Kenton, though he had suffered to the bitter full from th agonies of body and mind endured by hla shipmates, wa not one of the"?, and by a merci ful providence remained Bane enough to turn hi face away from the water. But, as he lay cr.mched In a heap In the bottom of he boat, with a silent prayer In hi heart to the Creator quickly to end hla sufferings, he heard "Boston Ned" and the only remaining aane man excepting hlmtwlf muttering hinrely together, and looking some times at him and sometimes at the two almost dying mer who lay moaning beside him. Presently the man who waa talking to Ned pulled out of hla blanket w hich lay In the stern sheeita a rnxor, and, turning hla bock to Ken ton, began stroplng It upon the sole of his shoe, and evwn "Boston Ned" him self looked with awful eyes and blood baked, twitching lips upon the youngster. Tho lad saw what was coming, and as quickly as possible mode his way forward and sat there, with his eyes fixed upon the two mvn aft, waiting for the struggle which he thought must soon begin. All that day and night he sat and watched, determined to make a fight for the little life that romolmd In him. and Ned and the other men nt times still muttered and eyed him wolflshly. Ai he snt thus, supporting his swol len head upon his skeleton hands, Ben ton saw something astern moving slow ly after the boat something that he knew was waiting and following for the awful deed to be done, so that, It, too, might share In the dreadful feast. Balstng his bony arm he pointed to ward the moving fin. To him a shark meant no added horror or danger to their position, but possibly deliverance. "Boston Ned" and the other man first looked nt the coming shark and then with sunken eyesf again turned to Ren ton. Voices none of them had, and Renton's parched tongue could not ar ticulate, but with signs and Up move ments he tried to make the other two men understand. No shark hook hnd they, nor If they had had one had they anything with whlc to bait It. But Uenton, crawling aft, picked up te harpoon, placed It In "Boston Ned's"' hands and motioned to him to stand by. Then, with eager, trembling hands, he stripped from his legs the shreds of trousers which re mained on them, and, sitting upon the gunwhale of the boat, hung one limb over and let It trill In the water. Three times the shark came up, and thrice Ned Prepared to strike, but each time the horrid ranger of the seas turned aside and dived as It caught sight of the waiting figure with weapon poised above. But at last hunger pre vailed, and swimming slowly up till within a few yards of the 'boat. It made a eudden rush for the bait, missed It, and the harpoon, deftly darted by the old ex-whaler, clove right through Its tough skin and burled Itself deep into its body. Then followtsd shark's flh and shark' blood, some of tlw former, after the f.rat raw tneal, Ixdng cooked on a flr made of the biscuit barge, upon a wet blanket spread in the bxttotn of the boat. The hot weather, however, mum turm-d th remaining portions putrid; but two or threo days later came Hod's blessed rain, and gave tlum hop and life again, They managed to save a considerable quantltley of water, and though th? ahark'a flesh was In a hor rlbli condition they ootid Inued to feed upon it until tho thlrty-P.fth day. On this day they saw bind, hlish and well wooded, but now the trade winds fulliil them, and for th following two days the unfortunate men contended with baflllng light airs, calms and strong currents).

The skipper of the Bobtail Nag at once offered to pay a handsome price If the man was brought on board, and at the cost of several dozen Birmingham ateel axes and some tobicco poor Benton's release was affected.

Railroads Are Acceding to Demand of Middle Classes Who Want Better Pleeplng-Car Service. In response to the demands of th lime the O. R. A N. and Its connec tions are placing In operation a much better grade of tourist sleepers for Pa- cl13 coost service than at any previous time. The largely Increased traffic to this section of the country ha demand ed all the Improvementa of latt'-r-day transportation, and In consideration of this the rallroada are establishing a service which la excellent In every par ticular. Not only are the wishes of first-class passengers served, but those who are traveling to and from the East on second-clsss tickets are splendidly careil for. There waa a time when a t'-urlst sleeper appealed to a limited number of people who were traveling on the "cheap" order, in every meaning of the term. Now, however, thera baa been a radical chance. With the bet ter tourist sleepers In operation th clans of passenger has been Improved, and one may now travel upon them and enjoy all the privilege of a first class sleeper at a greately reduced rate. Pally, on the O. R. ft N. east-bound fast mall, Is attached on of tbesia lat est Improved tourist sleeper, a model of beauty and handsome appointment. The new car are almost an exact counter! art of the flrst-clasi sleeper. One noticeable featur of the new tourist car li tb absence of a smoking apartment. Th new cart being built by th Pullman Company are not pro- YllSil with amoklng apartments. Thl new departure has been taken because of th fact that mist through trains are t;:2vlded with composite cars, wmcn provide a imoker for the ileeping-caf passengers. ., ASTORIA AND COLUMBIA 'filVER RAILROAD, JLeava.
