Prisoners end Coptfaves Dy II. S. ClIAPTF.lt It I. (font inuod. ) T.lout. Grace was present ft certain entries were made in (ho log book. The wo servants of her majesty were prompt and business-like In their (jviont inns. Tyars had tnken the precaution of bringing the log !xk of the Martial, in which the deaths of the whole crow excepting him self won faithfully recorded. The pro ceeding were ship-shape and business like, hut an the atory progressed tin' old commander Ixvaaie more anil more Inter ested, to th detriment of hi official punc tilio. Whi'ii at last Tyars finished hi narrative with the word: "And this afternoon I. lent. (iMW found me asleep on the wheel." the old sailor leaned forward homm the little cabin ta ble and extended on unsteady, curved hand. "Your hand, air; I should like to take by the hand a man with such a record aa yours. You have done a wonderful thing in navigating the ship almost single-handed as far as this. In nursing the poor follows you have acted with the ten derness of a woman ; In the management of your ship you have proved yourself a (food sailor, and In your marvelous pluck you have shown yourself a gentleman for such I think you must In-, though you shipix'd as second mate of a merchant man." Tyars took the proffered hand, smiling his slow, unconsciously mournful smile. "Hut," he said, calmly ignoring the in terrogation of the old man's glanev. "you must not give me the whole credit. There are other records as good as mine, but they are finished, and so the interest suf fers. Some of the men behaved splen didly. One poor fellow actually dropped dead at the wheel, refusing to go below until it was too late. He knew It was hopeless, but he took a peculiar sort of pride in dying with his fingers around the spokes." Then the young surgeon of the Foam appeared and took charge of his second patient for the terrier Muggins had, by Tyars' request, been attended to first. In the quiet days that followed the rescued man and his dog recovered from the effects of their hardship with wonder ful rapidity. Muggins had a decided dis advantage of his master. He was older as a dog than Tyars as a man : moreover, his hardships had been greater, for thirst is a terrible enemy and Ipaves his mark deep sunken. Tyars had passed through a most trying period, but Providence had chosen to place within his broad chest a heart semi-indifferent, semi-stubborn the hard heart of a fearless man. In his. place nine out of ten would have lost their reason ; Grace found him as nearly hysterical as a strong will could well be. Claud Tyars goon regained his energy, and with the return of it came that rest lessness which characterized his daily way of life. He wished to be up and doing, holding idleness as an abomination. A few men had been put on board the mer chantman with instructions to keep near their own ship under all circumstances, and in consort the vessels were creeping lowly through the placid waters toward the north. It happened that Lieut. Grace was soon to leave the slaver on a long leave of .absence, and he was therefore selected to go on board the Martial, with Tyars a joint commander, and a few men with a view to sailing for Madeira, where the crew would be strengthened. At last the doctor announced that the rescued man was perfectly strong again, and that the fever-stricken ship was puri fied and disinfected. "But," he added gravely, looking at Tyars, "the dog is in a critical condition. I do not consider myself justified in al lowing him to go out of my hands. He requires constant medical attendance." "Bosh !" replied Tyars, with much sol emnity. "I will give you five pounds for him," Mid the doctor, innocently. "I have not come on board this vessel to sell my dog." The offer was Increased, but to no pur pose. Tyars was as faithful to his dog as Muggins to his master. And so the two returned to their vessel early one morning, when a fair breeze was blow ing. For the third time since her de parture from South America the Mar tial's sails were all shaken out, and be neelh a cloud of snowy canvas she moved away on her stately progress northward, while the little slave-catcher returned to the cursed coast which required so close a watch. Tyars held a master's certificate, and by right of seniority succeeded to the com mand of the Martial, vice captain and first mate, dead and buried. In Lieut. Grace he found a coadjutor of sympathet ic mettle. Energetic, alert and bold, he ruled the deck with cheery despotism, and went below for rest with the comfort ing conviction that Grace would never shorten sail from nervousness. The question before this little band of men was the safe conduct of a valuable ship and precious cargo home to Eng land, and this they one and all came to look upon in time with that breadth of view which the circumstances required. Man-of-war trimness was out of the ques tion carpenter there was none, so paints could not be mixed, nor decks caulked, nor woodwork repaired. There was no gailmaker, so things must perforce be al lowed to go a little ragged. After a long consultation with Grace, Tyars bad called together bis little crew round the wheel, and there delivered to them a abort harangue in bis best "Union" style. The result of this and a few words from the lieutenant was that the Island of Madeira was enthusiastical ly shelved. There were to be no half measures on board the Martial. They would take the ship home If there was no watch below for any of them. This program waa ultimately carried out to the letter. With the aid of good fortune, a aafe and rapid passage was per formed, though, indeed, there was not too much sleep for any on board. No mean energy was displayed by Muggins among others. lie gravely superintended every alteration of sail, every bit of work re quiring all bands, and was never missing from his post by night or day. When at last the Channel pilot came on board, gating curiously up aloft, where things wert anything but taut, Muggins was among the first to greet him with that self posseswd gvntlemanlines which he wielded so unconsciously. And during the voyagw home Lieut. Grace had studied his companion with a slow, comprehensive scrutiny. The two. commanders had not been thrown much together, by reason of their duties being separate, but it was not to this fact alone that the naval officer attributed his fail ure to make anything of Claud Tyars. lie had found this ex-wranstcr calmly In stalled in the humble post of second mate to merchant sailing ship. Moreover, there was no attempt to conceal an Iden tity which was, to say the least of It, strange. Tyars appeared In no way con scious of an unanswered question existing In his Intercourse with the naval officer, and there was no suspicion of embarrass ment such as might arise from anomaly. CHAPTF.K IV. Thing were In this state letween the two young men when, one morning in June, the Martial dropped anchor at Grsvesend to await the tide. The news of her tardy arrival had been telegraphed from the coast, and the Channel pilot had thought fit to communicate to a friend In the journalistic interest a somewhat sen sational account of the wonderful voyage. It thus happened that before the an chor was well home in its native mud a stout gentleman came alongside in a wherry and climbed on deck with some alacrity. His lips were a trifle white and unsteady as he recognized Tyars, and came toward him with a fat gloved hand outstretched. "Mr. Tyars," he said, breathlessly, "you don't remember me, ierhaps. I am George Lowell, the owner. I have ten riggers coming on board to start unbend Ing sail at once. I have to thank you in the name of the merchants and of my self for your plucky conduct, and you, too. sir, as well as these men." So the voyage was accomplished, and Grace recognized the fact that the time had arrived for him to withdraw his eight bluejackets. Their strange duties were at an end. anil one more little tale of bravery had been added to the great roll. lie gave the word to his men and went below to get together his few belongings. As first officer he had navigate.! the ship, and for some minutes he leaned over the plain deal table in his diminutive state room, with his elbows upon the out stretched chart. Across the great spread of ocean was a dotted line, but in the marks there ws a difference, for three navigators had worked out the one voyage. As his eyes followed the line, day by day, hour by hour, in vivid retrospection back to the still, hot regions near the equator, th young fellow realized that the voyage had been something more than a mere inci dent in his life. The restless days and sleepless nights had been very pleasant In their sense of satisfactory toil; the very contrast of having too much to do in stead of too little was pleasurable. Hut above all, there was the companionship and friendship of a man who interested him more than any he had yet come in contact with. Looking back over the days ami nights they had passed through together, he re alized how little leisure there had been for mere conversation. In the working of the ship, in the attempt to enable ten men to do the work of twenty, there had been sufficient to keep them fully engag ed without leaving time for personal mat ters. But it is in such a life as this, lived together, that men really learn to know each other, and not in mere inter change of thought, or give and take of question and answer. Lieut. Grace was in his small way a student of human nature. Men who watch the sea and sky, to gather from their changes the deejx?r secrets of wind and weather, acquire a habit of watching lips and eyes, fathering therefrom little hints, small revelations, tiny evidences which, when pieced together, make that strange incongruous muddle called Man. Of the human being Claud Tyars be knew a good deal of the gentleman, the university athlete, the traveled sportsman, he knew absolutely nothing. Beyond the bare fact that Trinity College had left its inefface able mark upon him, the past history of this sailor was a blank to Grace. When he went on deck a little later, leaving his baggage to be brought up by one of the bluejackets, this thought was still uppermost in his mind. He found Tyars and Mr. Lowell walking together on the after deck; the former talking earnestly, while the owner of the ship listened with pained eyes. They came to ward Grace together, and he told them of his intention to take his men up to Ixm don by train at once in order to report themselves at the Admiralty. There were boats alongside the riggers were on board, Indeed, they were already at work aloft, and there was no cause for further delay. He turned away with vis ible reluctance, and went forward to call bis men together. Mr. Lowell followed and shook hands gratefully, after which he went aft to speak to the pilot. Thus Grace and Tyars were left alone amid ships, for the men were busy throwing their effects into the attendant boats. "I hope," said Tyars, "that you will not get into a row for coming straight home without calling at Madeira on the chance of picking up more men." "I don't anticipate any difficulty," was the reply; "my uncle has the pulling of a few of the strings, you know." Tyars nodded his head. There was nothing more to be said. The two men were already clambering down the ship's side, eager to get ashore. "Good-by," said Grace, holding out his hand. "I eh I'm glad we got her home." "Good-by." They shook hands, and Tyars stood still upon the deck he had trodden so bravely, while the little officer moved away to ward the gangway. Somehow there was a sense of Insufficiency on both sides. There was something left unsaid, and yet neith er could think of anything to say. Grace had not gone many yards when he stop ped, hesitated, and finally returned. "I say, Tyars," he said, hurriedly, "Is this going to be the end if It all? I mean, are we going to lose sight of each othsr now? We have been thrown togeth er In rather a singular way, and, under peculiar elrenmslaiiiv, we have got on very well together haven't we?" Tyars changed color beneath his sunburn. "Yes." hs replied, with the awkward geniality of a man accustomed to thfl exercise of an Iron resevxe over uny emo lion. "Yes. we have got on very well." "I don't think e ought t lose sight of each other," suggested Grace. "No; I don't think we ought." "Then will you come up and see us In town? The guv'nor would like to mnkn your aitpialntauce. Come and dine to morrow evening. No. tiVi llnxk street, GroHvenor Square. You won't forget the addtVHS? "Thanks; I shnll be most happy. What time do you dine?" "Well. I don't know. I have been away from home four years; but come at seven." "Seven o'clock; No. ltXI Brook street. Thanks." They had reached the gangway, and Grace now turned with a little tuxl of acknowledgment, snd began making his w ay down the unsteady steps Into the boat awaiting him. Tyars st.xxl on the grating, with one hand resting on the rail of the ship, the other In his Jacket pocket. "By the way." called out Grace, as the boatman shoved off. "bring Muggins." That sage dog. standing between his master's lee, wagged the white stump that served him for a tail and dropped his pointed ears in quick acknowledgment of the mention of his name In a way which he knew to be friendly. "He is not accustomed to the habits of polite society," remarked Tyars in a shout, because the stream bad carried the boat astern already. "He has got out of the way of it." ".Muggins is a gentleman." shouted Grace, "who knows how to behave him self in all sitclcties and all circumstance. You must bring him !" "All ruin I" laughed Tyars; and he smiled down at the upturned eager f.nv. the quivering ears 'and tw itching tall of the dog for Muggins knew well enough that he was under discuxsion.v and wait ed the verdict from his master's llus. CIIAPTEU V. At 7 o'clock that night the Martial found rest at last, moored saf.ly along side the quay in the East India dix-k. There was a little crowd of Idlers uion the pier and on the gates of the tidal basin, for the fame of the ship had spread. But more eyes were directed to ward the man who had done this deed of prowess, for the hu:an Interest is. after all, paramount In things in which we busy our minds. For one who look ed at the ship then- were ten of those mariners, dock ltorers and pilots who sought Tyars. "He ain't one of us at all," muttered a sturdy lighterman to his mate. "A geu tlem.in. if yer please." But gentleman or no gentleman, these, toilers of the sea welcomed the plucky sailor with a hoarse cheer. The stately ship glided smoothly forward in all the deep-seated glory of her moss-grown decks, her tarnished brass, her slack ropes. There seemed to le a living spirit of calm, silent pride In the tapering spars and weather-lwaten hnll, as If the vessel held high her head amid her sprucer com peers. She seemed to be conscious that her name was far above mere questions of paint and holystone. Her pride lay In her deeds and not In her appearance. Her sphere was not In moorings, but upon the great seas. She came like a soldier into camp, disdaining to wlie the blood from off his face. Tyars stood near the wheel, hardly noticing the crowd uin the quay. The pilot and the dockmaster had to some ex tent relieved him of his command, but he still haj certain duties to perform, and he was still captain of the Martial, tho only man who sailed from Loudon in her to return agiiiu. When at last she was moored and his command had ceased, he went below and changed his clothes. When be came on deck a little later Claud Tyars was trans formed. The keen, resourceful sailor w:ts merely n gentleman of the world. Self possessed and somewhat iild in manner, he was the sort of man one would expect to meet on the shady side of Piccadilly, while his brown face would be aorount-;d for by military service in a tropical cli mate.

Bees should have Home pure drink ing water within easy reach. Bees, like men, aro good natu red when they are making headway in pro viding for tho future. This accounts for the different receptions given to an Intruder at different times. Beekeeping Is an Interesting scientific: study aside from the pecuniary profit. There Is no more ciitr.widng pursuit when one becomes really Interested In It, iisldo from 1U financial vide. Beehives are now so constructed that they may Ih opened and their contents removed or changed about and exam ined without materially Interfering with the action of the bees. They fre quently continue their labors evcij when the comb Is held In tho hand of the beekeeper. Honey Is always a ready seller and the prlco per pound averages anywhere from 12 to 20 cents, depending uiwn the locality and quality. A good hive of bees In the averago locality will pro duce about seventy-five pounds of honey per year and pay f0 per cent on the Investment of the first season.
