The Ta ies i urned An Awlul Revenge Turned on (lie Revenger a, willianTc. Emerson Copyright. 1510. by American Pr*M Aiisooiaiion. L-t was in bu<Tailoring times in file 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.

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.

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 Chronicle The Magpie Ceiling.
