The weather is pleasant and bids
to remain so. The transshipment of

"Ail right," answered the commodore.
"I'll attend to the matter at once. It's
a good suggestion. Now, then, how many
men will you want to go with you':"
"The fifty men that Von detailed to the
I'pshur will be enough. There won't be
much lighting, I imagine, but after we
carry the Ellon we'll have to move quick
ly and I shall want enough hands to take
both ships out easily."
"What will you do for a pilot?"
"I've thought of that." answered Smith
promptly. "You recall that half a chart
was enclosed in the letter?"
"Hut what can you do with half a
cha rt?"
"I think I know where the other half
is. If I don't, I'll manage somehow. I'll
impress one of the natives and threaten
him with instant death unless 1 am shown
the way."
"Very well. Mr. Smith, have the men
transshipped from the I'pshur at once.
I will send another crew on board of her.
Io you want any more officers?"
"No. sir. If Uobinson is all right, he

"Cooil." said. Commodore Paulding. "I

that I may save some of yon or help you

"I'll send a heavy detail over to the
prize at once to unlade the cargo. You
look after the job. First of all, we'll fake
llie captured crew on board the St. Law

boats busy about the various details of
transshipping the cargo of the prize to
the other ships. For two flays the work
continued. l'ortuna tely, the cargo was
of such a character that there was little
difficulty in breaking it out and transship

Miss Ellen, who with her black maid

CHAPTF.K VI.
It had boon easy enough for Miss Kllen
to immure herself in her stateroom ns a
city of refuge. The gentle urging of her
lover that she come forth upon the dock,
especially in the evening, when work was
in a measure intermitted, had only inten
sified her detei niinat ion lo slay whore she
was. Although she was a prisoner, al
I'.o'igh she had been refused permission
lo go aboard one of the other s'aipa, nl
thoilgli shi had not been permuted to see
the commanding olhcer, there was a sense
of luxury and satisfaction in the thought
ihat she could, nevertheless, thwart the
imperious captain by disregarding his
wishes oven in small mailers.
He had spoken to her oiprageonsly dur
ing the chase by the Wamego. lie had
I routed her with no consideration after
wards so she thought and she deter
mined to pay him up by bomg as contrary
and as obstinate and as self-willed as pos
sible. When he ceased to ask her to
come on dock, however, when he acqui
esced in her decision and left her severely
alone in her solf-enforcd isolation, the
role she was playing lost its charm, ami
naturally her eagerness to get out of
what she now thought of as a hateful
little holo increased in proportion to his
indifference.
If she could' have manufactured nn
excuse adequate to the complete reversal
of her determination, she would have boon
out long since. Her pride, however, of
which she had great stock, kept her in.
She wont through a whole gamut of emo
tions. First she would and then she
wouldn't ; then she could and then she
couldn't. In the end. lorn by all sorts of
conflicting feelings, she did nothing. He
sent fully, she stayed where she was.
When Chloe delivered tlie captain's mes
sage she received it with an immediate
throb of gladness. The longer she was
deprived of the sight of her lover, albeit
ho was not a particularly handsome ob
ject, the more she wanted to see him.
Again, she didn't know what was going
on. exactly, that is, during her seclusion,
nnd as curiosity is nearly as strong in
woman as it is in man, she wanted to
know where she was to he taken, wnat
was to be done with the ship, and how
the Ellen was concerned.
Nor was there any satisfaction in
thwarting a man who was so nareruuy
willing to be crossed '. That morning.
therefore, she had about mane up nor
mind to go on deck, excuse or no excuse.
Smith's harmless message instantly chang
ed her decision lrrovoeamy. ms au
thority could be braved, after all, and
he would brave it.
"Tell him." she sain, shutting her lips
ightly together, her blue eyes sparkling
with a lire that made them almost uiacK
violet, I should say, if I were writing
, . n -i fn.L(..
romance instead oi i-ui-unu'ims "us
tell him that I do not wish to see him.
'hat I do not intend to see him. That I
shall stay here in the prison in which he
has thrust me until he is ready to put me
ashore."
"Yas'm," said Chloe, rolling her eyes at
this portentous message, aeeomimniea, as
it was. by every mark of indignation and
disdain.

Second-rate pine boards were used for

of the frame. The rooting was made
of similar material as the sides, but of
a little better quality.
In lining, n space is left between the
wall and the ice, to be packed with
sawdust. 'The crevices between the
cakes are filled with fine ice shavings,
but no sawdust is used between or on
top of the layers of ice until the tilling
is done, when about one foot of saw
dust is placed on top.
Openings must be left near t lie peak
of the roof to secure ventilation, and
the sawdust tilling at the sides must
be: kept firm and solid while the ice
is being removed in summer. It is
important to locate the icehouse

her was through her maid.
Mr. Smith was a very busy man during
the two days, and being something of a
philosopher he reasoned that it was just
as well the woman should be out of the
way under the circumstances so he
had not sought energetically to disturb
her until the morning of the third day.

Light is one of the great sanitary
conditions which promote vigorous
health. If the germs of tuberculosis
are exposed to the sun a short time
their vitality is destroyed, but their
infecting power can lie preserved for
several months if kept in a chirk recep
tacle. The State veterinarians who inspect
dairy accommodations now recommend
plenty of light, and the new dairy
barns are featured with an increased
number of windows. If possible the
windows of a dairy barn should be so
placed as to cause the sun at some
portion of the day to shine on all parts
of the lloor, as the rays will search for
disease microbes and destroy them.
Sunlight acts as a powerful disinfect
ant, and nothing is cheaper nor more
effective In preventing disease than
sunlight.
Dark, underground stables are now
condemned as insanitary and disease
breeding. Dark stables are often also
damp, and present esiieclally favorable
conditions for the evolution and propa
gation of tuberculosis. Cattle on the
plains, which live only und"r the shel
ter of the firmament, are immune to
tuberculosis alid many other diseases,
and barns for housing live stock should
lie constructed with plenty of windows
to promote the sanitary condition of
their occupants. Goodall's Farmer.

Winter Poultry Notes.
When your hens sing know then that
they are feeling good and will lay.
liens will not lay well or thrive un
less they have plenty of sunlight. Keep
tlie windows clean.
Don't fuss around your hens too
much. Like some people, they want to
be let nlone nt times.
Take the chill off the water. Hens
will not lay many eggs If they are
compelled to drink ice water and eat
corn mixed with snow.
Get rid of te useless cockerels and
old hens. Stuff them and they will
grow fat ami tender not too tender
but enough to grace n boarding house
table.
Throw some rusty nails In the drink
ing trough. The hens need the iron as
a tonic. Hut do not let nnythlng else
besides clean water go In with 'the
nails.
Dressed fowls, wrapped In clean,
white paper and packed In new boxes
will bring enough more to pay well for
the trouble. It Is not hard to get top
