OR ELoots, THE LONE STAR. CHAPTER VL -THE LONE STAR. I On the second morning after the en - taunter with the Lone Star, Sir Regie aid came on dealt at an early hour, roused by the heavy laboring of the vessel. He found that Eleanor was here before him, equally awakened by unusual and novel sensations. The sky was dark and gloomy, the wind bad risen during the night, and was blow- ing half a gale, while the dark color of the clouds, and the heaving of the huge waves, threatened a perfect hur- ricane. Long strips of ragged vapour were every now and then detached from more solid masses, and sent scudding furiously along the sky. The brig lay under a close -reefed topsail; but being a good ship, answered her helm well, the more readily, however, when a storm staysail was set. The captain and all the orew were diligently attending to their import- ant duties. Two men stood at the wheel, and several were aloft on the lookout for land. or breakers; but the wind had been so adverse ever since the calm, that they had run off the land instead of on to it, and. this precaution was scarcely necessary. The scene was in reality sublime. The billows bad risen in the night TO the height of mountains, and presented a strange contrast to the calm surface of the wa- ter on the previous night. The heavens which, spangled with stars at eventide, bad appeared a, vault high aloft in im- measurable space, now seemed pressed down low and hung like a funeral pall over all creation. The eye, accustom- ed to wander over a vast surface, and to gaze upon a boundless horizon, was now confined and. cramped; for nowhere could any one see more than a hundred yards around. There was a dense va- pour, which, mixed with drizzling rain, rendered. the position of the Royal Charley infinitely more precarious than it otherwise would have been. The captain nodded silently to his two passengers, who were wrapped up in garments suited. to the occasion. But be attempted not to speak; he was anxi- ously looking around the horizon for, a iereak in the clouds, which, however, peomised no sign of the storm subsid- ing, Sir Reginald drew Eleanor in- to as sheltered a position as possible, and throwing a heavy cloak he bad carried on his arm around her, seated her by his side. Ile bad selected a pile of ropes between two guns to wind- ward, whence a good view was obtain- ed of the raging main. "Is there much danger?" was the first and most natural question of Eleanor. "There is always danger in a storm," EA-MAKER'a 1Z-M..S.IS%.r . KEW FAILS' TS Ora SaTISFACE0e. tsTrn m* 1 at -se, no •••••avi THE EXETER TIMES "Be quick," said Sir Reginald, ris- ing and making his way alongside of the captain. "Let all hands have meat and drink, and then prepare to fight Lopez, the Spanish renegade. He will be down on us almost before we are ready." "Was that Lopez who passed os "Tae very man. Loosen the guns, and fire two, and then three. We shall want the Lone Star; if she be within hearing, that signal will bring her down," "Many thanks, Sir Reginald. Drums beat to quarters I -all hands splice the mainbrace I -send the gunners aft I" These varied orders were given in a rapid tone, and as 'rapidly obeyed while one watch took the proffered re- freshments, the others once more pre- pared the warlike implements. A few minutes later, two guns were fired, fol- lowed at three minutes' interval by three. The fog and rain gradually vanished with the violence of the storm; and when wafted along bya gentle breeze. the Royal Charley again sped upon her way. The pirate brigantine was, how- ever, not more than three miles off. under a, heavy preas of canvas, making in the direction of its much -coveted prey. ClaAPT,ER VII. Every sail which the Royal Charley could bear was crowded upon her at this eventful moment, and though there was little eb.ance of avoiding a, wheel had. his eyes fixed on the tragic some, and the elegant Lone Star bad quietly crept up alongside without being noticed. The •pirates had tbeir pikes and cutlasses beat out of their hands before they could recover from their surprise, and the terrible strug- gle was over. The remnant of the crew and pas- sengers of the Royal Charley. stood round Sir Reginald in a mute but grateful attitude. "No thanks" cried the captain of tbe Lone Star; "I fought for myself aria for her. I tisk no thriaks for I deserve none. Williams, give us all necessary aid; secure Lopez and his gang, and then I give you his ship to pillage as you will." ;A loud shout was the answer; and then, after transferring the crew. of the buccaneer to the bold of the Lone Star, the men proceeded to clear the decks of the dead, while the wound- ed were Committed to the hands of the surgeon. Among the tatter (were Captain Montrose, several passengerso and some sailors. The dead. were de- cently sewn in their hammocks, and launched into the deep under a salute, of leans.

But that can scarcely be done by the brig." "What think you, Sir Reginald?" sud- denly exclaimed Captain Montrose, ad- vancing to his side. "Ara you not afraid we are in a serious predica- ment?" "Hum!" replied the freebooter, "I con- fess I like not the aspect of the sky; worse weather has been seen than this. Your brig is a, good solid craft, and will stand much rough work." "Ay, eay. But raerk me, sir; we have only as yet felt the tail -end ref an old storm. I can see a fresh one brewing, and fear the, worst is yet to come. Are. you not timid about staying on deck, Miss Bowen?" "No, captain; I far prefer seeing what is passing to being cooped up in a cabin." "I expect," remarked the commander of the Lone Star, who was examining the heavens with a keen and piercing eye, "to see the wind shift to a direct- ly opposite point of the compass. Have a care that you be, not teken aback." "Sail on the weather -bowl" cried one .of the look -outs. All eyes were at once turned in the direction intimated, and a tall brig- antine on the opposite tack was seen bearing rapidly down upon them. The captain flew to the helm, fearful that there might be a collision, and Sir Reginald examined the strange vessel with much curiosity. He almost imme- diately seemed to recognize it. "'Tis perhaps fortunate, Miss Bow- en," he remarked, "that we have met that fellow in a, storm. He is one of the most noted buccanners of the Gulf, and it would fare ill with us to fall in- to his hands." "Would he not respect you?" "Not he. He knows no distinction of nations or persons." At this moment the brigantine was abreast of them. A black flag became visible at the peek, while the deck was covered by me -n; but though the pirat- ical nature of the craft was self-evi- dent, the elements precluded all possi- bility of danger on that score. A main in the costume of an officer raised his hat politely to Captain Montrose, who returned the salute, very mach pleas- ed to confine his conference to such sal- utations, and then away sped the strange vessel, to be. once more buried in the drizzling rain and fog. . For neatly the whole morning mat- ters continued in the same way; the storm did not at all appear inclined to abate. A hasty meal was snatch- ed by all on board, and then passengers and crew proceeded to watch the course of events. About three o'clock in the afternoon, however, a sudden lull took place, the ship rolled violently, and the wind ceased almost. as suddenly as it had commenced. The result was again most painful; the brig was pitched and tossed about in the most disagreeable manner. The sails filled with the mo- tion of the vessel one way, and flap- ped with a roar like that of distant thunder as it flew back in the opposite direction. The rigging shook, and ev- ery plank felt the vibration. About the House. COMBS AND BRUSHES. Ear the sake of the hair if not for cleanliness, combs and. brushes in daily use need frequent wa,Ahing, There are few things so disgusting as a greasy comb or brush filled with hair. No one with a particle of neatness about him- self would put away a comb ox brush atter using them without first remov- ing the hale. Even it no other person uses the same articles everyone can af- ford to be clean. Some people have an idea that a hate brush would be ruin- eirit put into water, but they are mis- taken. It takes but a few minutes to wash a number of combs and brushes, and someone should always attend to that in every house. i Hot water n which a little am- monia has been mixed is best. Ilse plenty of strong soap'and wash two brushes at a time. Take one in each hand and rub them together. The bris- tles of each interlace and they become cleaner that way than in any other, Rinse them well and remove as much of the water as possible. Set them, bris- tles down, in the sun and wind to dry, or put them neer the stove where they will dry quickly. The sooner they be- come dry, the better. Combs need a similar treatment very often. Brush- es should not be left in the water any longer than is necessary to get them clean. . 4 if we be taken. There is no mercy in the mind of Lopez after a combat." Every being on board the Royal Char- ley shuddered at this fearful announce- ment, which, however, braced up the nerves of all to prepare for the terrible last struggle. On came the brigan- tine, receiving the last broadside of the Royal Charley in a way which did tremednous havoc both to men and spars, for the upper sails came down by the run, and hung over the side. But the pirate cared .not. In another minute the two vessels met, their bows cracked against each other, grappling - irons were thrown out, and. securely fixed, and then a cloud of dark and. bearded ruffians of all nations plunged headlong on the deck of the devotedbrig. The number of boarders was double that of those who had to defend their lives and properties against the at- tack of the reckless buccaneers. The defence, however, was earnest and val- iant. All felt the cheering influence of a, good and just cause, which is half the battle, and which gives to the at- tacked and the oppressed such univer- sal force, and accounts for half, the heroic deeds' done bythose who defend their fatherland against overwhelming and ambitious hosts. Sir Reginald wee everywhere. He by word and act, rous- ed the bold crew and the paesengere to stand fast; and though they soon gave way under the sheer weight of the a -seedling party, yet no man thought of surrendering. It would be painful to detail every minute feature of this terrible scene. It is sufficient to !say that in a auarter of an hour the (leek' was strewed with bodies, and all that remained of the Royal Charley's gal- lant- defendere -were. Sir Reginald, Henry Postans, Josh, four passengers, and five sailors.' "Surrender, dogs!" cried the pirate Lopez, furious at a protracted strug- gle that was weakening his own 'force almost as much as that of the enemy, and aware, too, that another storm was brewing, a circumstance likely to prove fatal to ships in the state in which they had been placed by the combat. But the answer he received was est startling as it was utterly usexpected. "Down renegade Spaniard -down on your banded knees, and ask your re- creant life," shouted Sir Reginald in a loud voice. "On, my gallant rovers! on! The Lone Star for ever 1" "Down down!" cried a hundred fresh end clear voices of men, leaping on the deck from all sides. The pirates atood. motionless. Dur- ing the fever of the night, even the look outs had left their nests, and join- ed the combatants. The man at the 1 - HOME F.A.114URES.

When Archbishop Tait was visiting at a country house in the Highlands of Scotland, some years ago, he went down one morning to the postoffice to send a telegram to his brother, Sher- iff Tait, and he wrote the direction: "The Archbishop of Canterbury to Sheriff Tait." The old Postmaster read the words in contemptuous tones, and then looking et him over his spec- tacles said: "The Archbishop of Canterbury! And w`ho, may ye be that takes this cogno- men?" , The Archbishop, with a homely wool- en comforter wound about his neck to keep out the chill air, was painfully conscious that he might find it hard to prove his identity. It was a relief to him when on second thought the Postmaster relented so far as to in- quire: "May be you're the gentleman him- self?" Tait replied, "For want of a better I am." The old Scot saw the mistake into which. he' had. fallen, and ,was profuse in his apologies. "I might have seen you were rather, consequential ,about the legs." Then, in order to send the Aachlaish- op away in good heart, he added: "1 imve a son in London, a lad in a shop, and he gaed to hear ye preach one day, and was verra weal satisfied.' sense.
