Hv.t Indies An Bullish ship, the
l'<?ui;iiiii. was sailing between Vera
• toz and Puerto Cal 110, iu Honduras,
viitt-u she- was attacked by pirates.
Sprain. Haaeltine of the Penguiu, huv
iac four swivel guns on board, two
jjort and two starboard, or larboard
aunt starboard, as the terms then were,
m-ith plenty of muskets and cutlasses,
Five the pirates a fight that cost them
ta»third of their number in killed and
viwnded, mostly killed. But the pl
larxa were too strong for the mer
riouitinen, who were at length over
prrrra).
Tile captors were so irritated at the
Sght they liad been put to and their
lour. that they resolved to Inflict a tor
ttav upon Captain llazeltlne, to whom
«b-5 were Indebted for both, as they
■wea knew, for it was be who had led
«wry movement ngalnst them. They
(erred every person on the 111 fated
fVagnfrv to walk the plank except
lluKeltlne, whom they put in Irons
in the hold. Then the pirate
enamiauder invited suggestions as to
methods of execution that would give
iitf most' suffering.
J J?a«y of the prana that were handed
in were impracticable, since the pl
aslos did 1 not possess the moans of car
rying them- out One struck the cap
(ssia'a fancy as soon as ft was pro
found. It was that they should bury
Tseir victim up to his chin fn the sand
art receding half tide, so that on its re
twg it would gradually drown him.
Dearth would thus confront him for
bans and would linger when it came.
It teemed to the pirate that this men
tal strain on a man In sound bodily
t-eatth would be far worse than phys
ical pain. He ordered his craft beaded
tor the shore and anchored near a
teach. On arrival the boats were low
ered and filled with eatables and cases
•T sine that had been taken from the
for the pirates bad deter
mined to have a spree on shore, where
they com id hare plenty of room to
sanetrb tbetr legs. However, their
irtnrsbers were so reduced by the fight
had been through that one boat

of the ebb. Burying Hoieltine on the
verge, he would see the tide recode for
an hour, theu return for an hour. The
pirates faced him toward the water,
leuvlug only bis head exposed. Ills
arras were placed close to his flanks,
and when his executioners had stumped
on tlie sand about hint he felt himself
In a vise. Having finished their work,
they carried their supplies a little far
ther up on the beach and began to eat,
drink and be merry.
Hazoltlue soon discovered that no
more frightful death could be devised,
lie watched the tide recede, pause and
begin its return. By this time the
pirates were very drunk, screnrolng
and fighting like madmen. Hazeltlne
hoped some one of them. Infuriated
by liquor, would come and cleave bis
skull with a cutlass. But he was dis
appointed.
And now the first- wave reached the
victim’s chin. The next did not oo.ne
so high, nor the next, but tbe fourth
washed b;. jaws. When it receded It
took an jncli of sand from under his
chin. The next ufive look more, and
successive waves left his throat bare.
But while the sand was sucked fltvny
In front it was plied up nt the back of
his head.
By this time the yells of the pirates
were few and soon censed altogether.
They had Intended to watch their pris
oner die, but had got druuk instead.
The waves, dashing over Hazeltlne
while he held his breath, kept suck
ing sand from his front Finally be
could work his body backward and for
ward. The water poured In around him
and softened the sand. By an effort he
freed his arms and dug with his hands.
In n few minutes he was free.
Booking about him, he saw the pi
rates lying iu a drunken stupor. His
first impulse was to run, his second to
take their boat nnd pull away. His
third—eh, his third marked a great
change in him. Seeing the shovel with
which the pirates had dug his grave,
he seized it and dug five other graves
a few feet above where his would be
executioners had dug his owu. Then,
taking up a pirate, he put him into an
upright hole and filled in the sand
about him. Then he buried another
and another till all were up to their
chins In sand. Some of them awaken
ed, but did not realize a*, first where
they were. Others were too drunk to
know anything.
Half an hour later the water reached
them and sobered them. The sand
gave way before them, but Hazeltlne
threw more sand in its place, main
taining his position and theirs until
the waves rolled above their heads.
But Hazeltlne was not satisfied.
Waiting till night had fallen, he rowed
in the boat to the ship and. armed
with cantu red weapons, stealthily
TYC COCHRAN JOURNAL
climbed Hie side. The Fwo men who
had been left aboard had Imitated the
example of those who had gone nshore
and drunk themselves to sleep. Hazel
tlne dispatched them nnd threw their
overboard.
Two 3ays later a British man-of
war, looking for the pirntea, spied her
at anchor, fired a shot and. meeting no
restronse. aent a boat to her. They
found on# man—Hazeltlne —on board.
Making a Major.
John Catch Cooke, who went Into
(he war as an eulisted man in a lticb
uioud battery, was soon afterward ap
pointed an officer on the staff of Gen
eral J. E. B. Stuart. Ou Stuart's staff,
Mr. George Cary Eggleston gays iu
“Recollections of a Varied Life," he
distiuguished hluiself by a certain
luugblug nonchalance under fire aud
by his euger rendluess to undertake
Stuart s most perilous missions.
It was In recoguliion of some spe
cially daring service of tllflt kind that
Stuart gave him his promotion. The
delightful way in which the great bev-
Ish southerner did It is best told in
Mr. Eggleston's own words.
“You're about my size, Cooke,” Stu
art said, “but you're not so broad In
tbe chest.”
“Yea, I ntn,” auswered Cooke,
“Let's see if you arc," said Stuart,
taking off fata coat as if for a boxing
match. “Try that ou.”
Cooke donned tile coat with Its three
stars on the collar and found it a fit.
“Cut off two of the stars,” Stuart
commanded, “and wear the coat to>
Richmond. Tell the people hi the war
department to make you a major and
send you back to me in a hurry. I’D
need you tomorrow.”
How It Feels to Be Run Over.
“When I was run over,” writes a
correspondent, “I had not seen the car
approaching. The first thing I knew
was that I was on the ground, kicking
upward with iny legs in an effort to
get from under the car. Theu 1 felt a
wheel going over my chest, which
bent as it passed over. Iu the inter
vening second or two I went through
several minutes’ worth of feelings. 1
had the sensations of astonishment at
being on the ground, of wanting to roll
aside aud away, of bracing myself—
and my chest especially—stiff to resist
something, whatever it might be, while
a lightning flash of fear was dimly
there and a subconscious query, ‘What
on earth next? Yet it was hardly
fear, because there was no time for
such a durable sensation. It was rath
er a sense of being suddenly confront
ed wfth a grave reality, of doubtful,
obscurely terrible import” London

The Magpie Ceiling.
One of the apartments lu the an
cient royal palace at Ciutra. Portugal,
Is knowu as the Hall of Magpies.
Painted lu the arabesque celling is to
be fouud a swarm of magpies. Each
has lu the mouth a scroll, on which,
painted In red on a white ground, ar«.-
the words, “Por hem.” The story
runs that King John of Portugal was
making love to oue of the maids of
honor In this chamber and was sur
prised by tbe queen. Ills majesty made
the best of the circumstances and ex
plained to the queeu. "E por bem mlnka
sacre" (“Oh, It Is nothing at nil. It is
quite right There Is no harm In it”). As
to whether the queeu was satisfied the
legeud Is flileht, but the ladles of the
court were deeply Interested unfl were
constantly saying to oh# Another With
a smile, “Por bem! Por bem.' The
king thought it time to act, SO be eouh
missloned an artist fo paint on the
ceiiing na many magpies as there were
talkative ladies about the court, each
holding in the beak the ribbon with
the words, “Por bem."—L° nf l ,Hl Globe.

“The LuSfad' 1 Is one of |he noblest
records ever fHiftt'tt of national clory
and success. Caßfo£ns, its gifted au
thor. determined (0 do for Portugal
what Hother had done'for Greece. The
great poem was written In the six
teenth century, which hag been called
tbe heroic age of Portugal, and its
tnafn feature Is the roundirtg of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Gama,
while a most interesting episode Is
tbe crowning after death of Inez de
Castro as queen of Portugal. “The
Lusiad” took its name from Luslus,
who was said to have founded Lisbon.
( Its author was born about 1520, and
: his career, which began brilliantly,
was blighted by the death of a broken
heart of the lady of his love, for Whose
sake he was banished from the land
He wrote “The Lusiad” in his banish
ment and was recalled In 1571, losing
on the way all his property except his
poem. Pensioned at first by the king,
Ibis great epic poet of Portugal died
tn great poverty in 1570, when his
patron was alsft dead.
Adam and Eva.
“I hope this expulsion of ours Is not
going to Injure our social position,”
Bald Eve ruefully.
“I guess not,” replied Adam. “They
can’t stop us from being one of the
very first families, whatever they do.”
“I don’t find onr names here in the
‘Social Register,' ” said Eve, looking
the volume over.
“Look under ‘Dilatory Domiciles,’ my
love,” said Adam as he went out and
named the jackass after himself.—

Remember that wfieti your kid

N : Y-r says: My trouble started
with a sharp shooting pain over my
back which grew worse daily I
felt sluggish and tired, my kidney
action was irregular and infrequent,
I started using Foley Kidney Mis.
Each dose seemed to put new life
and strength into me, and np\Y J
