•cheerily. "I'll live high on the col-
lective bad judgment of this outfit."
"Tonight isn't likely to settle it any -
:how," said Ives. "I move we turn
in."
Expectant minds do not lend them-
selves to sound slumber. All night the
officers of the Wolverine slept on the
verge of waking, but it was not until
dawn that the cry of "Sail ho!" sent
them all hurrying to their clothes.
Ordinarily officers of the United States
navy do not scuttle on deck like a
crowd of curious schoolgirls, but all
lentils had been keyed to a high pitch
er the elusive light, and the bet with
.1 wards now served as au excuse for
r betrayal of unusual eagerness;
'it ace the quarter deck was soon alive
with men who were wont to be deep
In dreams at that hour.
They found Carter, whose watch on
deck it was, reprimanding the lookout.
"No, sir," the man was insisting,
"she didn't show no light, sir. I'd 'a'
sighted her an hour ago, sir, if she
tad."
"We shall see," said Carter grimly.
"Who's your relief?"
"Sennett."
"Let him take your place. Go aloft,
.Sennett."
As the lookout, crestfallen and surly,
went below Barnett said in subdued
tones:
, "Upon my word, I shouldn't be sur -
,prised if the man was right. Certain-
ly there's something queer about that
hooker. Look how she handles her-
self!"
The vessel was some three miles to
windward. She was a schooner of the
c• ommon two masted Pacific type, but
she was Comporting herself in a man-
lier uncommon on the Pacific or any.
•other ocean. Even as Barnett spoke
she heeled well over and came rush-
ing up into the wind, where she stood
with all sails shaking. Slowly she
paid off again, bearing away from
them. Now she gathered full head-
way, yet edged little by little to wind-
ward again.
"Mighty queer tactics," muttered Ed-
wards. "I think she's steering her-
self."
"Good thing she carries a weather
'helm," commented Ives, who was an
.expert on sailing •rigs. "Most of that
type do. Otherwise she'd have jibed
'her masts out, running loose that way."
Captain Parkinson appeared on deck
and turned his glasses for a full min-
ute on the strange schooner.
"Aloft there!" he hailed the crow's
nest. "Do you make out any one
aboard?"
"No, sir!" came the answer.
"Mr. Carter, have the chief quarter-
master report on deck with the signal
flags."
"Yes, sir."
"Aren't we going to run up to her?"
,asked McGuire, turning in surprise to
Edwards.
"And take the risk of getting a hole
punched in our pretty paint with her
sunning amuck that way? Not much!"
Up came the signal quartermaster to
get his orders, and there ensued a one
sided conversation in the pregnant lan-
guage of the sea.
"What ship is that?"
No answer.
"Are you in trouble?" asked the
.cruiser and waited. The schooner
showed a bare and silent main peak.
"Heave to." Now Uncle Sam was
.giving orders.
But the other paid no heed.
"We'll make that a little more em•
phatic," said Captain Psrkieson. A
moment later there was the sharp
.crash of a gun, and a shot went across
the bows of the sailing vessel. Has-
tened by a flaw of wind that veered
'from the normal direction of the breeze
the stranger made shureee to wind-
ward, as if to obey.
"Ah, there she comes!" ran the cow -
anent along the cruiser's quarterdeck.
But the schooner, after standing for

'The sheens by which he cured a very
evoye case of piles.
'Very many traveling salesmen know
'what it is to suffer from itching piles
,and will read with interest the follow-
ing letter:
Mr. W. J. Saunders, salesman for the
Sawyer -Massey Co., and who lives at
Killarney, Man., states: "After hav-
ing suffered for three years with a very
bad ease of piles a friend recommended
Dr. Chase's Ointment and I cannot now
speak too highly of same. After hay -
ti ing used two boxes of Dr. Chase's Oint-
ment I can trutlrful]y say that I am
eared of piles, and cheerfully recom-
mend it to anyone suffering from this
complaint. I tun never without a box
Of this ointment in my grip,"
It is impossible to claim too much
for Dr. Chase's Ointment as a cure for
every form of itching, bleen'ing and
protruding piles. It seems to have no
rival in this regard and the record of
cures is simply wonderful.
Nearly any ,druggist can tell yen of
.scores of 'cures that have come to his
entice. Some of these efifeeted even
.,after surgical operations had failed. 60

a moment, all flapping, answered an-
other flaw and went wide about on
the opposite tack.
"Derelict," remarked Captain Parkin-
son. "She seems to be in good shape,
too, Dr. Trendon."
"Yes, sir." The surgeon went to the
captain, and the others could hear his
deep, abrupt utterance in reply to some
question too low for their ears.
"Might be. sir. Beriberi. mavbe,
More likely smallpox if anything of
that kind. But some of 'em would be
on deck."
"Whew! A plague ship!" said Billy.
Edwards. "Just my luck to be order-
ed to board her." He shivered slightly.
"Scared, Billy?" said Ives. Edwards
had a record for daring which. made
this joke obvious enough to be safe.
"I wouldn't want to have my pecul-
iar style of beauty spoiled by smallpox
marks," said the ensign, with a smile
011 his homely, winning face. "And
I've a hunch that that, ship is not a
lucky find for this ship."
"Then I've a hunch that your hunch
is a wrong one," said Ives. "How long
would you guess that craft to be?"
They were now within a mile of the
schooner. Edwards scretinized her
calculatingly.
"Eighty to ninety feet."
"Say 150 tons. And she's a two
masted schooner, isn't she?" continued'
Ives insinuatingly.
"She certainly is."
"Well, I've a hunch that that ship
is a lucky find for any ship, but partic-
ularly
artiesularly for this ship."
"Great Caesar!" cried the ensign ex-
citedly. "Do you think it's her?"
A buzz of electric interest went
around the group. Every glass was
raised. Every eye strained toward her
stern to read the name as she veered
into the wind again. About she came.
A. sharp sigh of excited disappointment
exhaled from the spectators. The
name had been painted out.
"No go," breathed Edwards. "But
I'll bet another dinner"—
"Mr. Edwards," called the captain.
"You will take the second cutter,
board that schooner and make a full
investigation."
"Yes, sir."
"Take your time. Don't come along-
side until she is in the wind. Leave
enough men aboard to handle her."
"Yes, sir."
The schooner steamed to within half
a mile of the aimless traveler, and the
small boat put out. Not one of hip
fellows but envied the young ensign
as he left the ship, steered by Tim-
mins, a veteran bo's'n's mate, wise in
all the ins and outs of sea ways. They
saw him board, neatly running the
small boat under the schooner's coun-
ter. They saw the foresheet eased off
and the ship run up into the wind.
Then the foresail dropped and the
wheel lashed so that she would stand
so. They awaited the reappearance of
Edwards and the bo's'n's mate when
they had vanished below decks, and
with an intensity of eagerness they
followed the return of the small boat.
Billy Edwards' face as he came on
deck was a study. It was alight with
excitement. Yet between the eyes two
deep wrinkles of puzzlement quivered.
Such a face the mathematician bends
above his paper when some obstructive
factor arises between him and his so-
lution.
"Well, sir?" There was a hint of
effort at restraint in the captain's
voice.
"She's the Laughing Lass, sir. Ev-
erything shipshape, but not a soul
aboard."
"Come below, Mr. Edwards," said
the captain. And they went, leaving
behind them a boiling caldroi! of
theory and conjecture.
CHAPTER III.
ILLY EDWARDS came on deck
with a line of irritation right
angling the furrows between
his eyes.
"Go ahead," the quarter deck bade
him, seeing him aflush with informa-
tion.
"The captain won't believe me,"
blurted out Edwards.
"Is it as bad as that?" asked Bar-
nett, smiling.
"It certainly is," replied the younger
man seriously. "I don't know that I
blame hire. I'd hardly believe it my-
self if I hadn't"—
"01, go on! Out with it! Give es
the facts. Never mind your credibil-
ity."
"The facts are that there lies the
Laughing Lass a little weather worn,
but sound as a dollar, and not a living
being aboard, of her, Her boats are all
there. Everything's in good condition,
though none too orderly. Pitcher half
full of fresh water in the rack. Sails
all O. Ti. Ashes of the galley fire still
warm. T tell you, gentlemen, that ship
hasn't been deserted more than a cou-
ple of days at the outside."
"Are you sure all the boats are
there?" asked Ives.
"Dory, dingoy and two surfboats.
Isn't that enough?"
"Plenty."
"Been over 'her, inside and oat. No
Sign of collision. No leak. No any-
thing, except that the starboard side

anywhere else. 1 tell you," :said Billy
Edwards pathetically, "it's given me a
headache."
"Perhaps it's one of those cases of
Pante that, Forsythe. spoke of the other
night," said Ives, "The crew got
frightened at something and ran away,
with the devil after them."
"But crews don't just step out and
run around the corner and hide when
they're scared," objected Barnett.
"That's true, too," assented Ives.
"Well, perhaps that volcanic eruption
jarred them so that they jumped, for
It."
"Pretty wild theory, that," said Ed-
wards.
"No wilder than the/ facts, as you
give them," was the retort.
"That's so," admitted the ensign
gloomily,
"Ilut how about pestilence?" suggest-
ed Barnett.
"Maybe they died fast, and the lgist
survivor,' after the bodies of the rest
were overboard, got delirious and
lumped after them."
"Not if the galley fire was hot," said
Dr. Trendon briefly. "No}, pestilence
dc,&' n't work that way."
"Did you look at the wheel, BIlly?"
asked Ives.
"Did I? There's another thing.
,Wheel's all right, but compass is uo
good, at all. It's regularly bewitched,"
"What about the log, then?"
"Couldn't find it anywhere. Hunted
high, low, jack and the game; every-
where except in the big, brass bound
chest I found in the captain's cabin.
Couldn't break into that."
"Dr. Schermerhorn's chest!" exclaim-
ed Carnett. "Then he was aboard."
"Well, he isn't aboard now," said
the ensign grimly. "Not in the flesh.
And that's all," he added suddenly.
"No, it isn't all," said Barnett gently.
"There's something else. Captain's or-
ders?"
"Oh, no. Captain Parkinson doesn't
take enough stock in my report to tell
me to withhold anything," said Ed-
wards, with a trace of bitterness in his
voice. "It's nothing that I believe my-
self, anyhow."
"Give us a chance to believe it,"
said Ives.
"Well," said the ensign hesitantly,
"there's a sort of atmosphere about
that schooner that's almost uncanny."
"Oh, you had the shudders before
you were ordlerecl to board," bantered
Ives.
"I know it. I'd have thought it was
one of those fool presentiments if I
were the only one to feel it, But the
men were affected too. They kept to•
gether, like frightened sheep. And I
heard one say to another, 'Hey, Boney.
d'you feel like some one was a-buzziu'
your nerves like a fiddle string?'
Now," demanded Edwards plaintively,
"what right has a Jackie to have
nerves?"
"That's strange enough about the
compass," said Barnett slowly. "Ours
is all right again. The schoouer must
have been so neer the electric disturb-
ance that her ins'iruments were perma-
nently deranged."
"That would lend weight to the vol-
canic theory," said Carter.
"So the captain didn't take kindly to
your go -look-see?" questioned Ives of
Edwards.
"As good as told me I'd. missed the
point of the thing," said the ensign,
flushing. "Perhaps he can make more
of it himself. At any rate he's going
to try. Here he is now."
"Dr.. Trendon," said the captain, ap-
pearing. "You will please to go with
me to the schooner."
"Yes, sir," said the surgeon, rising
from his chair with such alacrity as
to draw from Ives the sardonic com-
ment:
"Why, I actually believe old Tren-
don is excited."
For two hours after the departure of
the captain and Trendon there were
dull times on the quarter deck of the
Wolverine. Then the surgeon came
back to them.
"Billy was right," he said.
"But he didn't tell us anything!"
cried Ives. "He didn't clear up the
mystery."
RONCHITIS
Bronchitis is generally the result of a cold
caused by exposure to wet and inclement
weather, and is a very dangerous inflam-
matory affection of the bronchial tubes.
The Symptoms are tightness across
the chest, sharp pains and a difficulty in,
breathing, and a secretion of thick phlegm,
at first whito, but later of a greenish or
yellowish color. Neglected ,Bronchitis is one
of the most general causes of Consumption.
Cure It at once by the use of
Dr.
Wood's
Norway
Pine
SYRUP
Mrs. D. D. Millon, Allendale, Ont.,
writes : "My husband got a bottle of Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup for my little
girl who had Bronchitis. Silo wheezed so
badly you could hear her from one room to
the other, but it was not long until we
could see the effect your medieine had on
her. That was last winter when we lived in
Toronto.
" She had a had cold this whiter, but in-
stead of getting another bottle of Dr.
Wood's NorwayPino Syrup, I tried a home
made receipt which 1 got from a neighbor
but found that her collasted about twice
AM long. My husband highly praises
Wood's,' and Says he waists that a bottle
of it is always kept in the house.
The price of Dr. Wood's Norway Pine
Syrup is eel cents per bottle, It is, put up
in a yellow wrapper, three pine trees the
trade mark, so, bo surd and accept none of
the many substitutes of the original"Nor•
nay Pirie Syrup."
Rieumatis
I have found a tried and tested cure for Rhea.
matism 1 Not a remedy that will straighten the ,
distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony
growths back to flesh again. That is impossible.
But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of
this deplorable disease.
In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of
Darmstadt—I found the last ingredient with !
which I)r. Shoop's Rheumatic Romody was made
a perfected, dependable prescription. Without
that last ingredient, I successfully treated many,
many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last, Muni.

much dreaded disease. Those sand -like granular
Wastes, found in Rheumatic ,Blood seem to dissolve I
and pass away under the action of this remedy as
freely as does sugar when added to pure water.
And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes
freely pass from the system, and the cause of
Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no
real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer with-
out help. We soli, and iu confidence recommend

"That's what," said Trendon. "One
thing Billy said," he added, waxing un-
usually prolix for him, "was truer than
maybe he knew:"
"Thanks," murmured the ensign.
"What was that?"
"You said `Not a living being
aboard.' Exact words, hey?"
"Well, what cif it?" exclaimed the
ensign excitedly. "You don't mean
you found dead"—
"Keep your temperature down, my
boy. No. You were exactly right,
Not a living being aboard."
"Thanks for nothing," retorted the
ensign.
"Neither human nor other," pursued
Trendon.
"What!"
"Food scattered around the galley.
Crumbs on the mess table. Ever see
a wooden ship without cockroaches?"
"Dr. Trendon, you will please to go
ieitih me to the schooner."
"Never particularly investigated the
ma'am"
"Don't believe such a thing exists,"
said Ives.
"Not a cockroach on the Laughing
Lass. Ever know of an old hooker
that wasn't overrun with rats?"
"No, nor any one else. Not above
water."
"Found a dozen cleat, rats. No sound
or sign of a live one on the Laughing
Lass. No rats, no mice, no bugs. Gen-
tlemen, the Laughing Lass is a charnel
ship."
"No wonder Billy's tender nerves
went wrong," said Ives, with irrepress-
able flippancy. "She's probably haunt-
ed by cockroach wraiths"
"IIe'll have a chance to see," said
Trendon. "Captain's going to put him
in charge."
"By way of apology, then," said
Barru2tt. "Thnt_s pretty square."
"Captain Parkinson withes to see
you in his cabin, Mr. Edwards," said
an orderly, coming in.
"A pleasant voyage, Captain Billy,"
said Ives. "Sing out if the goblins git
yer."
Fifteen minutes Iater Ensign Ed-
wards, with a quartermaster, Timmins,
the bo's'n's mate and a crew, was
beading a straight course toward his
first command, with instructions to
"keep company and watch for signals,"
and intention to break into the brass
bound chest and ferret out what clew
lay there if it took dynamite. As he
boarded Barnett and Trendon, with
both of whom the lad was a favorite,
came to a sinister conclusion.
"It's poison, I suppose," said the first
officer.
"And a mighty subtle sort," agreed
Trendon, "Don't like the looks of it."
Ile shook a solemn bead.

died. Until after fall of night the
Wolverine moved slowly, I.cllowing for
the schooner, but got no reply. Once
they thought they heard a distant
shoat of response, but there was uo
repetition.
"Probably doesn't carry any fog-
horn," said Carter bitterly, voicing a
general uneasiness.
• "No log; compass crazy; without fog

Ought to have been ordered to blow,
her up as a peril to the high seas."
"We'll pick her up in the morning
surely," said Forsythe. "This can't
last fearever."
Nor did it last long. An hour before
midnight a pounding shower fell, lash-
ing the sea into phosphorescent white-
ness. It ceased, and with the growl
of a leaping animal a squall fu-
riously beset the ship. Soon the great
steel body was plunging and heaving

each and all hung an oppression of
spirit. Captain Parkinson came from
I his cabin and went on deck. Constitu-
tionally he was a nervous and pessi-
mistic man with a fixed belief in the
conspiracy of events, banded for the
undoing of him and his. Blind or du-
bious conditions racked his soul, but
real danger found him not only pre-
pared, but even eager. Now his face
was a picture of foreboding.
"Parley looks as if Davy Jones was
pulling on his string," observed the
flippant Ives to his neighbor.
"Worrying about the schooner. Hope
?.illy Edwards saw or heard or felt
that squall coming," replied Forsythe,
giving expression to the anxiety that
all felt.
"He's a good sailor man," said Ives,
"and that's a stanch little schooner by
the way she handled herself."
"Oh, it will be all right," said Carter
confidently. "The wind's moderating
now."
"But there's no telling how far out
of the course this may have blown
him."
Barnett came down, dripping.
"Anything new?" asked Dr. Trendon.
The navigating officer shook his
head.
"Nothing. But the captain's in a
state of mind," be said.
"What's wrong with him?"
"The schooner. Seems possessed
with the notion that there's something
wrong with her."
"Aren't you feeling a little that
way yourself?" said. Forsythe. "I am.
I'll take a look around before I turn
Ito
He left behind him a silent crowd.
His return was prompt and swift.
"Come 011 deck," he said.
Every man leaped as to an order.
There was that in Forsythe's voice
which stung. The weather had cleared
somewhat, though scudding wrack still
blew across them to the westward.
The ship rolled heavily. Of the sen
naught was visible except the arching
waves, but in the sky they beheld
again, with a sickening sense of disas-
ter, that pale and lovely glow which
had so bewildered them two nights
before.
"The aurora!" cried McGuire, the
paymaster.
"Oh, certainly!" replied Ives, with
sarcasm. "Dead in the west. Com-
mon spot for the aurora. Particularly
on the edge of the sot th seas, where
they are thick!"
"Then what is it?"
Nobody had an answer. Carter has-
tened forward and returned to report.
"It's electrical anyway," said Carter.
"The compass is queer again."
"Edwards ought to be close to the
solution of it," ventured Ives. "This
gale should have blown him just about
to the center of interest"
"If only he isn't involved in it," said
Carter anxiously.
"What could there be to involve
him?" asked McGuire.
"I don't know," said Carter slowly.
"Somehow I feel as if the desertion of
the schooner was in some formidable
manner connected with that light."
For perhaps fifteen minutes the glow
continued. it seemed to be nearer at
hand than on the former sighting. But
it took no comprehensible form. Then
it died away and all was blackness
again. But the officers of the Wolver-
ine had long' been in troubled slumber
before the sensitive compass regained
its exact balarltste, and, with the shifting
wind to.mislead her, the cruiser. had

Useless Griefs
The following from an exchange
well worth repeating in these columna:
—"A hundred years ago and more, men
wrong their hands and walked the floor,
and worried over this and that, and
thought their cares would squash them
flit. Where are those worried beings
naw? The bearded goat and festive
cow eat grass above their mouldered
bones, and jay birds pall in strident
tones. And where the ills they worried
o'er? Forgottou all for ever more.
Gone all the sorrow and the woe that
lived a hundred years ago. The grief
that makes von scream to day like
other griefs, will pees away; and when
you have cashed your little string, and
jay birds o'er your bosom sing, the
stranger, pausing to view the marble
works that cover you, will think upon
the uselessness of human worry and
distress. So let the worry business
is slide, live while you live, and when
you've died, the folks will say, around,
yonr bier: 'He made a bit while he wen'
here.' "
