If a man calls me one I know what to do, but when he thinks I'm one I can't have a rea- gon for pluggin’ ‘im. Dut here's the yarn: The Phoebe (lement was bound, in bal- last, from Boston to Savannah where she would load lumber for the La Plata, When we made our last squint at Cape Cod the wind was fair nor'west and it kept in that quar- ter until we were off Long Island then it came out strong from the . nor’east. 8 > Capt. Snow was a pood navigator and he handled that bark under close reefed tops'ls as well us any man could, but he had a' most onreascuable eraft in the Phoebe Clement. She never wanted to do anything that was asked of her, The skipper had brought his little son with him on this voyage. He was a taut little kid and all of us were fond of him. The captain had Jost his wife and this little boy was! the apple of his eye It was just at dusk and things were desprit with us when I saw a great| green wave rolliag down on us from . win'ard.

So fur at least their prey had not es- capoed them, ‘He may leave on one of his i ster. jors Juurneys at any time,” spoke the dclective, “so we had better keep up the wateh,” This grew tireseme in two hours. By midnight Davis was bored to death, Marey fast asleep and the detective restive and wearied. He roused up his dull companions, “See here, you served, “I dou't like the looks of tlings.

The others were sailors, all, and they had already begun to bend a sail to the stump of the foremast so as to help the old hooker out of the pickle. The sail filled and the vessel slowly wore away from the westland. Suddenly the bark lost the wind and T ran aft. No one stood at the wheel “Sipper,” T called. and I began to ' turn cold. I grabbed the wheel and brought the bark to the wind all the time looking around for the skipper.

There was not the least doubt that Ralph Barton moned his inventive talent to batfle his watchers. A stuffed figure sat at the desk, operated by clockwork.
