For their part, they were too much engrossed in observation of Kenner's yacht, which lay a couple of miles or more ahead of them, to give him much of their thought; and elsewhere upon the tug all was silence, broken only when the lookout hailed the -wheel or the bells rang in the engine-room below. It was no matter for surprise that the first words of the play were spoken ultimately by one who had been forgotten altogether by this company in the larger interests which the watching of the yacht promoted. Mike Brennan had gone down to his cabin again after the moment of the flare; ‘but now of a sudden, when all aboard were gazing over the starboard bow at the evolutions of the Semiramis, the mate appeared at the foot of the bridge armed with a great bluds- eon of iron, and behind him tere stood Arthur Conyers, the elderly clerk, who had drawn his revolver and wore the aspect of a man puckered up for great emergencies. And it was the voice of the mate, then raised in a clear and un- mistakably meaning tone, which awakened the others to the situation. “Skipper,” sald the man, with one foot upon the ladder and @ band upon the call, “I've a question to ask av ye concern- ing the course. Will ye hear it now, or will I be waiting?’ At the first sound of the mate's voice the skipper glanced down to the scene below. Temper and fear allke held him as the m of the spectacle dawned upon him. Yet he spoke with some command, even before Messenger—who had eeshcoet up the danger at @ look—could give counsel or take ion. “Mjke Brennan,” said he, ‘it’s not the first time ye're con- cerning yourself with my affairs. Put yer dirty body in bed before I kick it there!" ‘The contempt of this was keen enough, but far from judi etous, for it sent hot blood coursing through the Irishman’s velns, and the skipper’s lips were scarce shut before the mate had sprung up the ladder, and with one blow from the bat had sent him hurtling over the paddle-box into the sea, where he sank as @ bag of rock and left almost unruffied the long ‘wave that engulfed him, From that moment—as the sant record bears witness—the deck of the tug beoame a shambles, The greed of blood con- sumed the Irishman unt!l he raved uncontrollably, and, mak- ing a mighty cut @t Messenger, he pissed his aim, and fell headlong to the deck below, where now the orack of Conyer's revolver waa heard. The man, with his eyes open to the trap he had fallen into, had lost all Festraint and fired hap- hazard, the bullets singing above the heads of the tug's crew, who lay huddled together by the fore hatch, or skimming the _@eck. or burying themselves in the bulwarks, or ringing upon the cowls. : “Capel,” he eried, “for God's sake, shoot, man! There's murder dono vere~murder, 1 tell you! They're killing the a Re Tee bee ent ch tesa tgpat cri na trap, by Heaven!” But Capel made no answer—he was cowering and sobbing aft, and when his honest fellow had cried himself hoarse and emptied the chambers of his revolver, a new sound of firing burst up by the forecastle, where two of the crew were using their pistols at the mate, but to small purpose. Brennan. staggeriug with the diasiness of his fall, had got what shelter he could under the shadow of the paddly-box; but presently he ran with his bar at the three forward, and the skull of one cracked Like a globe, while the other two fell howling down the hatchway. In that moment this man and Conyers were masters of the deck, and only Messenger, who had watched the whole scene from the bridge, was powerful to raise a hand. is point there had been Ifttle danger from Conyers, wild dlundering and haphazard suspicion, had left Messenger alone, scarce understanding whether he were friend foe, But when he had emptied his revolver and ling to refill the chambers in the black patch of ich the wheel cast, Messenger sprang down lightly bridge and appeared before him as a swift appari- the dark, @,"" said he in that pecullarly stern votre he could id on occasion, “I think you've done enough for one Put down that pistol!’ je man, weary of the butchery end suffering the terrors of Feaction, went to the companion without a word and de@pcended {t, when the other locked the cabin-door upon and turned round to see Capel’s pallid face and trem- ing form. Capel hid himself in Messenger’s shadow and skuiked for- ward with the new master of the ship. The mate, now scared and giddy, had thrown down his bar and was sitting upon a| ballast chest; but he looked up at the soft sound of the foot- steps and sprang to bis feet with a ferocious cry. “Houly saints!" said he, grasping his weapon, "it's yerself, —may the} LORRI IMM TTR PUTT ETRE PRCA TT THe CETIERS IN THE CASE, By Harriet Hubbard Ayer. The Perils of Writing or Keeping Them as Exemplified in Recent Tragedies. HEN a clever lawyer is retained !n @ breach of promise or a divorcs suit he at once asks if he ts for the plaintiff: “Have you kept his letters?” If he is engaged by the defendant he says: “How many letters did you write her?” and were they of the usual fool kind? The lawyer doesn't say “fool” (he ts going to get @ big fee and is Uplomatic), but he thinks “fool” all the same. But I am unbiassed and I feel I ought to give the readers the Inwyer’s honest opinion of the letters in the case, no matter which side the Inwyer represents. A dozen years back the love letter mania received a setback and some people even believed, if not exterminated, it had suffered such a blow that it would never aguin reach its old force and tempestuosity. ‘At this time a rich and middle-aged coffee merchant who brought the scales down somewhere around the three hundred pound notch, was healed’ to court by a spinster in the forties who sued for breach of promise. When the lawyer, conforming to the regular ritual, asked the regular question: “Have you kept his letters?” this thrifty ep!nster replied, “I have,” and Proceeded to draw forth from an aged reticule a well-garnered packet of business-looking epistles, But they wére only business-looking on the outside where the address is written. This poor middle-aged, practical coffee merchant stopped being sensible at the addreas. Once you unfolded the missive you struck bottomless fool- ishness and endless material for jfbes and jeers of the populace. A fat obffes merchdnt may not address a middle-aged maiden as “Bun- ny” and adopt as his own tender pseudonym “Baby Bunting” and fall to keep out of public print with impunity if Bunny ever got on the rampage, and this Bunny dtd. Whon the last of the Baby Bunting letters had been read in court and the writer had been sufficiently punished for a dozen capital offenses tha complaining damsel had the proud eatisfaction of getting a verdict of $45,000, People said the Bunny letters would serve as an awful warning and ‘would teach men and women sense about their love letters. But they didn’t! Men and women, the very sanest and soberest of thems have never had any sense when they have been {a love. Love-letter writing {s a phase of the tender passion no man may escape, There comes a time when the lover simply has to write the overflowing rhapsodies of his illumined soul. Engaged people do not always become man and wife. But they always write letters they cannot recall without burning blushes on the girl's and anathomas on the man’s side. If only before posting a letter the ardent lover or loveress would re- read it with the solemn conviction that one day it would certainly find its ye mouldy scounthrel, that I've been waitin’ to be Lord give mo strength!"* He atood now full upright, the fine picture of a man in the moonlight, and at the sound of hia voice the crew in tho| fo'castle showed for a moment at the hatch again. Mad Messenger been alone with him he would have ended the! business then and thero with his revolver, but he feared the crew, to whom the mate was even then something of @ hero, and he knew that the sound of repeated firing might bring ships upon the tug. In this, however, was his mistake; and| even es he stood, with the irresolution of an instant, the Irishman whined the great bar round and made a mighty stroke at his head. But the blow had been dealt with too great a vigor; the smooth fron sl!pped from the man's grasp; the bar hurtted through the alr with terrible force. It passed above the shoulder of Messenger, who had dropped upon o1 knee, and, missing him, struck Sydney Capel so full acros the face that the bones of his forehead cracked at the blow, and he fell, with the life out of him, prone upon the deck. For a moment the horrid tragedy held the others speechles! the mate shivered as though Intense cold had gripped him; the crew crouched backward as from 8 madman. Messenger alone kept his wits, and before the now unarmed Irishman had got his courage again he hit him with his fist and felled him, striking him again and again with heavy blows until the man had no more sense in him than a log of wood. Then he called for a length of rope and, binding him hand end foot, left him as he tay and went back to the bridge. At Inst he called the engineer, a Bootchman, by name Alec Johnson. “Ie all right below when the time comes?” he asked with ,some arxiety. ‘We've got to see this hulk out of sight five minutes after we leave her, anyway.” “Man, ye can fest on that!" said the Scotchman; ‘she'll just fitchter and go down Ilke @ bag wi’ a stone in her; and there'll be mist afore the morn, and ft may give ye ‘Aw the sun rose It eeemed to lighten the face of the dead man, who lay ashe had fallen, with @ hideous, ghastly glare upon htm, so that the crew, coming with a new courage & little way aft, shrunk back and implored to be set free, or cried out that they would all be taken, yet feared to touch the dread thing and send it to the sea, which engulfs the dead in so sure a refting-place. Messenger himself under- stood with his usual perceptfon that the tension could not be endured, and at the change of the watch (there being but one steamer other than the yacht In their wake, and she many miles on thelr port bow) he suddenly gave the order to go about, and stood boldly for the Semiramis, though all the risk of the action was apparent to him. ‘The men, raving with delight at the thought of release from the unendurable prison, now came scampering up their ladder, though they did not vonture abgft the foredeck; and in a moment all was activity. There were but five of the crew rematuing, and of these one was almost a boy, who was called “Billy,” and reckoned half dolt, half itfot. As for the mate, who had lain near the fore hatch apparently insens!- ‘le, and bound since the fray, he was forgotten by all in the thirst for change at whatever risk or price. The new course was, It may be imagined, at once observed by those on the Semiramis, who fell to signalling; and in a run of ten min- utes the tug had come elongside the big yacht, and, being grappled, twenty hands hoisted the bullion to the crane, and guided it over the aft hatchway. It was no time for greet- ing, no time for anything but a Babel of voices, a quick pumping of donkey-engines, a bustle, a confusion, and a riot when the men from the tug tumbled pell-mell upon the yacht, and the dead were forgotten, and the bound man below had no mercy from the lungny wolves who clustered about the gold. ‘The exciting work qooupted come twenty minutes tn per- formance, and having been accomplished, Roger Burke, upon the bridge of the Semiramis, roared the order: “Let her " The tug swung away from the hull of the greater ves- sel almost with his words, and a few powerful strokes from the twin screws vated the doomed ship and the other by several cables’ lengths, At the distance they waited for the end, but before the end could be there was an apparition upon the ridge of the Admiral which sent pallor to the faces of the exultant , and drew ¢rom the men cries of rage and apprehension, For suddenly, as the tug drifted, the man who had been bound and forgotten, Mike Brennan, the mats, appeared by the wheel, and with frenzied impre- cations called threats from Heaven upon the watchers and their ship. During one moment he stood, and then there came @ great dull roar ag of @ mighty explosion in the en- gine-room below him; and the little steamer, heeling to the shock, cocked her stern above the playing waves, and in the next Instant had plunged below them. ‘With the gurgle of the hull the mate disappeared; but as he went tha voice of Billy, the daft boy, was heard in trium- phant exclamation: “IT out hia tree, I did it; who'll hear Billy, oh, dum clever, dum clever?” ‘The tug sank with his words, and while many of the crew called upon the sktpper to search the waters for the spectre of the bridge, others observed that the strange steamer, whish had“been an hour ago but a speck on the horizon, loomed lange on thelt starboard quarter, and Burke would walt for no man. “Mate or no mgte,” sald ha, “I'm getting, and I guess ex there'll be a tight run as it is.
