The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
,,ot possibly effect a cure. In many eases where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr.'ll.E-Thompson,of Milledgeviile, Ga writes- “A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of mv neck
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering T
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many-Wood remedies were used
but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S. and

Yes, Augnst Flower still has the larg

world. Yonr mothers and grandmoth
ers never thought of using ant thing
else for Indigestion or Biliousness
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard cf Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart failure, eto. They used
August Flower to clean ont the system
and stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic ac
tion of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and had with
headaches and other aches. Yon only

up at the canvas soaring in sheets of
light sallow into theyejlow sky. “We’ii
ease her of her smell fails and that big

What d’yon say?”
■ They answered by going to work.
Tfrey clewed op the royals and fore top

then, got .upon tbo main yard and rolled
up tho big saiJ, coaxing with a pleasant
chorus the central cloths itilo a frigate-
like hunt which Davrnirr, l.cgfl in the
slings, slapped with <u’.uijration.
This unusual labor of going aloft, of
tossing upon footropes and lifting the
dead weight of canvas had extinguished
in the gentlemen onq and all the last
lingering inspiration of champagne.
They were now perfectly sober, tjuite
sensible, disposed to be thoughtfnL
“Is Masters dead, Trollope?” said
Caldwell, speaking in a low, thick voice
and looking unusually sullen and
gloomy, while the motion of his dark
eyes showed inward disquiet,
“Shannon,” called Trollope, “go be
low and see if Masters is dead. Cald'
well’s in doubt and anxious about him.”
"You killed him. Why don’t you go
yourself ?” exclaimed Shannon, the faint
smile with which he bod approached
vanishing. - _
“Don’t say I killed him," snarled
Caldwell. “I shot himinself defense,”
“So you did,” said Trollope.
He went with a face of aversion. The
expression in his damp, pale, bine, pro
truding eyes made him look sick. While
be was absent the sun set. His going
this evening had something of a strange,
weird hurry about it. There was no
solemn and majestic withdrawal of the
trailing skirts of rod splendor. A thin,
moist, yellow effulgence, like colored
steam, filled the western sky and went
quickly. A calm seemed to roll out of
tho west over the brows of tho swell,
polishing them. Tho topsails aloft
gasped and beat, as though, being alive,
they suffocated in the sadden stagna
tion.
“It was more like an eclipse than a
sunset, ” said Davenire.
“It will bo a black night,”exclaimed
Trollope. “Look how the bend of the
sky’s approached! And d’yon see those
scalelike clonds up there?” he added,
pointing np where a little before it was
all faint bine.
“He is stone dead,” said Shannon,
coldly, stepping out of the companion-
way. “It may comfort yon, Caldwell,”
he exclaimed to thatgentlemar, who was
leaning over the rail, “to know that be
something n.ftrr. 9, Weston came Below
for a draft.
“Mark,” says-Weston, “I’ve been
thinking over that key at the bottom of
the sea. Suppose a fire—any sudden
trouble—should we be able to force the
door as quickly as Trollope fancies?”
“Jjet.’s try an experiment,” said
Davenire. -
He locked the door of tho cabin in
which Mrs, Heacocb liafi slept and then,
putting bis foot pod shoulder pgainst it,
strained.
“Shall I help?” said Weston,
“I can manage it,” answered Dave
nire in a voice of snffocatiou, and at the
insfant of his speech the door, driven by
his irresistible muscle and weight of
“beef,”.ps sapors soy, flew open. This
satisfied the .two met)- They returned td

cheerfully of their prospects.
On deck the sijepcp of tho fog black
ened sea was soul subduing. It forced
the men to speak in low voices, A Pongh
Startled, a laugh would make an echo jq
the invisible heights. Old splicers, old
sponters, fica/S whose backs had been
curved to tho shape cf phells by years of
leaning over yards and kneejipg upon
decks, would havo made nothing of such
a pigbt as this. ThfiJ would have found
nothing t,o .awe them in ft, They would

have gone out of his face, and he’s the
innocent son of a good mother. V
“We must bury him, ” said Caldwell,
who had turned quickly , on hearing
Shannon.
“At dark,” exclaimed Trollope, with
determination.
They had not long to wait for that,
however. By 8 o’clock it was a dead
calm'ami black as thunder with fog.
The ocean was full of fire, and close
alongside the mystio lights rose and
swayed, dissolved, fluctuated, sheeting
ont again in flashes brilliant ss distant
lightning. These fires played in n hun
dred shapes. You saw them through the
steam of the fog, and the silence in that
brooding blackness made them wonder
ful and awful.
The sheen of the skylights htmg in
the thickness in a faint silver, tho bin
nacle was a crown of light, and down
upon the quarter deck the light stream
ed in lines through the windows in 1 the
cuddy front. The deep gloom, the occa
sional long drawn yearning sob of water
alongside, the sometimes strange cry
falling from the invisible heights where
the fanning canvas strained the sheaves
or jarred a parrel, the sense of isolation,
of infinite remoteness, of the.ship’s lit
tleness as a speck in that black void,
boundless as the imagination chose to
make, filled the gentlemen with sensa
tions of superstition. They were all
agreed that Masters’ body ought to be
sank at once, so Cavendish, Hankey and
Weston went to work to bury it Softly
entering the berth he lay in, they pnlled
the blanket from his face. Ho looked
like some fancy of manly beanty in
marble. It was true’that death had
smoothed tho sin out of his face. Tho
light of the next world was on it, and he
looked to be smiling at some finer sight
than tongue could utter.
The three stitched the poor fellow up
hastily and did not omit to attach a
heavy weight of iron to his feet. This
done, they bore tbs dismal burden on
deck :
Caldwell stood near the main hatch,
never imagining they would be so
quick. When he saw them coming info
the square of light in the cabin doer, he
uttered a low_yeII of surprise and has
tily walked away on to the poop, mut
tering curses as he glanced behind him.
"Overboard with itl” said Trollope,
who was standing in the gangway. “But
decently, boys. He was one of us.”
They put him over feet first and let
him go. Tho body dropped, with a soft
splash, and vanished in a vivid flash of
sea fire, whose track those who watch
ed thought themselves able to follow to
depth of fathoms.
“It’s shuddering work,” said Han

of the men sat down to cards, but they
could not play. They lighted pipes and
tigars and went Ob deck and mooned

dued by the black silence that was all
about them. They could not efimebow

CHAPTER XXI.
THE NAME OP THE ISLAND.
The surveying brig Wellesley on a
certain afternoon at 7 o’clock was on
the port- tack, moving boldly to leeward
on a tnnt bowline. The air was very
light; the sea ran in wrinkles. The brig
made no wake, but if yPB looked over
the side you saw the water there polish
ed by her corpulent bilge.
Commander Boldock stepped out of
the companion hatch and looked round
him. Mr. Hardy and Mr. Matthews
paced side by side tho very short soopo
(' quarter deck, A number of seamen
filled the round bows about the wind
lass ends. Any one glaneipg through
the flat skylight would have observed
Miss Manscl at the little table reading.
“There is no farther fall in the mer
cury, ” said the commander, touching
bis cop in response to that quarter deck
civility or duty in the others. “What
d’yon think it’s going to be, Mr. Mat
thews?” said he in a voice whose deep
complaining notes were now familiar to
the mate of the Qneen.
“The sky grows a bit shrouded, sir,”
answered Mr. _ Matthews, looking
straight aloft as a boy balances a pole
on bis nese. . • •'' '
“And I observe that the horizon don’t
look so far off,” said Mr. Hardy, leer
ing at the ocean.
“Tho barometer is like a woman’s
temper,” said Boldock, beginning to
■mile and broadening his "smile as be
continued, “whether it rises or whether
it falls—though you can't gness what’s
going to happen, you’re bound to know
that something's coming along.”
“Trne, sir,” said Mr. Hardy, with
cheerful alacrity.
‘‘You were speaking of that gold, Mr.
Matthews,” said the commander. “How
was it stowed?”
Mr. Matthews explained.
“Will the scoundrels be able to find
it?”
“They’d come at it, sir, if they had
to pick out the wool fleece by fleece. ”
“A little abaft the main hatch! A
strange place. I should have built a
safe in tho Jazarette,” said Boldock.
“It-was done by orders of tbo con
signers of the gold and dust,” said Mr.
Matthews. “I bejievo they are 13 in
number. I heard so in Sydney.”
“A good number, ” said Mr. Hardy
dryly.
“One’s a middle aged man who has
been a sea captain. He was up at the
diggiugs and coaxed ore enough out of
tho soil to set up 40 merchant masters
for life with a coisch and pair apiece and
a footman behind their chair* at dinner,
ge designed the compartment for the
gold, panned file place—insisted upon
tbatpiaoe^had pnregsppajtje nrgpijieptg
with old Captain Benson, wfrq WPS fop
stowing the gold in bis own private
cabin.”
“What!” cried the commander.
“That some sailor should bo tempted
aft with a jackknife to cut his throat!
Think of trying to sleep with nigh
£300,000 in gold finder your bed! I had
thought better of Benson's jndgmppt, ”
“That searaptain, whose name I rec-
plleet is Bnmniell, is pretty nearly a
crank as It js,” said Mr. Matthews.
“Tho find so elevated his wit 3 that they
passed ont cf his head. ”
“Lifting his hair as they went, no
fiopbt,” said Mr. Hardy, with a laugh
and a lew.
“At tho present moment,” continued
Mr. Matthews, “he thinks himself a
prodigiously rich man. The news’ll take
long in fetching him. And mark me,
gentlemen, Bnmmell on the mere mer
its of flip first report will go raving
S?d.”
“I suppose, sir,” said Mr, Hardy, ad
dressing Mr. Matthews, '‘that nothing
was known among the passengers of
those ten gentlemen who havo mu away
with your ship?”
-‘•‘IJothing that ever I got to hear,”
answerefi tbo rnafe of tho Qneen. “The
fact is .they composed nearly all the
passengers. The rest were ladies and one
or two geptlemen—one Dent, a colonial
merchant, a bit pf p fool; one Storr, an
auctioneer, going beme pfter a brief ca
reer of bad bargains, so be told me.”
While tbey thus conversed it darken-
pd around, and a scale like a layer of
clouds shaded the dimness that had
gathered pver the njpsfheads. The brig
was heading oil to tlie southward antj
westward—that is, Bhe would have been
beading off had sho teen making any
way but leeway .through the water.
But when it darkened and tbipkened, the
wind sank oat ip p ' gasp pf air jn the
topsails, the water flowed in oil and bet
gan ‘to shine richly and wonderfully
with fire.* The brig now lay sleeping in
a maryelons silence that was fall of

Commander" Boldock pnd Mr. Mat

brightened and (be sky blackened and
were sitting at snpper'witb Miss Man-

down the steps to report that a Sense

“Well, sir,” says the commander,
tpming )iis immense, red, kindly face
round upon his mate, “suppose yon case

roll np yonr maipsail. if you don’t like
the look of this fog, yog might ease her
of the foro topgallant sail. ”
“Aye, aye, sir,” answered the mate.
“It’s a grease calm, and the water is
like a bowl of snapdragon.”
The commander smiled at Miss Man-
sel, who inquired wbat Mr. Hardy
meant?

“Who’s the navigator among them, do
yon suppose?”
“I should say, certainly. Captain
Trollope, ” answered Mis3 Mansel in a
voice of fatigue and weakness.
“I might believe him that big villain
with the silver chain,” said Mr; Mat
thews. “But in any case,” says he, ad
dressing the commander, “it may ask a
trick of seamanship above their parts to
carry, the bark to tho island Miss Man
sel forgets the name of.”
“I cannot see how they are going to
dispose of ai) that weight of nuggets
nud dust, "said Boldcck, whose crimson
was deepening its dye, as though the in-
fluence of the rum was net within, but
shoue upon him in color through his
tumbler without, "Taka a piece of gold
worth 100 sovereigns—it’s a consider-
able weight. Here, sir, we have ten
men who are going to step asboro with
plunder in precious oro io the valuo of

Hr. Matthews shook his head grave
ly. “They’ll not laud wbero there are
customs, anyhow,” said ho. “Pity this
part of their project didn’t reach yonr

' “I begin to think I see the fire in the
water,” eait] flommijll'ler Boldock.
Ho rose, niade fhc yqiiug |ady g bow

indeed was suggested by the fires in
the sea,
! ‘By George, Hardy,” said the com
mander, going to tho rail and I Peking
ever, ”wp seem to be afloat oq (jig fo,
flections of a blazing volcano."
Mr. Hardy was hungry, was sick of
the fog and tho sea flames, and being
relieved went hastily into the cabin to
eat and drink, Tho commander, after
glancing at tho phantom glows alongr
side, looked aloft and then around; then
pulling ont a big meerschaum pipe,
which he loaded with tobacco ont of a
great fujr .parse, be struck a match,'

You may have heard
about SCOH’S EMULSION
and have a vague notion
that it. is cod-liver oil With
its bad taste and smell and
all its other repulsive fea

purest and the best in the
world, but made so palata

can take it, Nearly ail
children like it and ask for
more-

EMULSION
looks like cream; it nour

better than cream or any
other food in existence. It
bears about the same rela

Sho spoke with listlcssuess and was
by no means yet recovered. She was
still very pale, and when thonghtfnl an
expression of fear—faint indeed, yet de
terminable—haunted the lines of her
month and the light of her eyes. Yet, on
the whole, she looked amazingly well
for one who not many hours before had
been throttled, gagged and left to float
upon the sea in n swoon. Her white
throat bore certain dark marks, which
were probably the impression of Mr.
Caldwell’s fingers. Sho looked a very
comfortable figure of a fine young wom
an in her dressing gown. The white cap
was off her head, her fiair was now
thoroughly dried and rose thick upon
her pretty bead under the" light pf the
little ewaying lamp. The eyes in Com
mander. Boldoek’s toasted face often
roUed upon her, and Mr. Matthews, sit
ting opposite, viewed her with the" kind
ness of an old friend.
The table, though furnished with tho
homeliest of sea suppers, presented, nev
ertheless, a hospitable appearance. There
was room for g fourth, and then the
cabin would have beeg comfortably full.
The coarse white tablecloth shone with
the salt it had been washed Jn as the
sand of the beach shines with the froth
that dries in it. It was furnished -with
wine and rum in decanters, a ham and
piece of pold salt beef. The .commander’s
glass always seemed abonf half full.
Mr. Matthews drank water barely col
ored with rum, Miss ManseJ a glass of
Boldoek’s Madeira.
“Do yon think the boats will have
outlived the weather this day, Captain
Boldock?” said Miss Mansel.
“Sailors were' distributed among
them, I believe, ” answered the com
mander, looking at Matthews. “I shall
expect to hear they have been picked

■‘■‘It (nnfi.t be frightful to be ont in an

said Miss Mansel, shivering as she look

“Aye, ayel” esolaimed Alatthews,

“But the Storrs will feel It most, He was
a selfish little cuckoo was Mr. Storr.
He’ll miss his warm bed, the lights of
the cuddy, the poop to stretch his legs
on."
“Things are not np to tho hammer
with him,” said tbo commander, “and
I shouldn't be surprised if ho finds the
party in the boat a slow lot. ”
Ho emptied his glass and filled it
again and immediately it was half fall.
