"ilow different this sky from onr northern firmament I" remarked tbe latter, after a pause. "I can hardly recognize my favorito coDstclIation, Tha Southern Cross is beautiful, but then I miss the others, Ursa Major has entirely disappeared, and as for the Minor Bear scarce a star of him is visible."
At this observation, whieh wss in¬ tended for uo particular oars, Adol- phns Fitcgibbon aroused himself,
"Aw—what's thnt. Miss Karris'.' Aw I have yon seen bears at soa?"
"Ves, and monkeys, too," was the qniek but good-natured reply.
All of as laughed, while Fitigibbou looked very silly, then grinue.l huge¬ ly, theu seemed to meditate some scathing witticism, then concluded he would not, and stretched ont npon his side with his back toward tbe lovera„ and pretended to, or really did, f^lt'asleep within the next fifteen minute:'.

"Hark I" said I; "didn't you hear that bell?"
"Just what I hove been trjiug to moke Edmund believe I" laughed Florence HarriH. "He persisted iu not believing it."
"Listen I" 1 paid, raising my hand. And immediately tboro fcll a death¬ like silence.
And wbila thus intently listening, Ihere come across tho sen, foint bnt distinct, tho soft, distant sound of o boll. Wo scorcely breathed for o miuute.

Half of tl^e cop- pel mined is produced in-this ooun¬ try, thc total output in tha United States last year reaching 47,7-2'i,,5fiC pounds, a littla mora than half of which was exported. Onr coppor yield is now forty per cent, lorger than that ol tha world in 1881. The increased demand for tho motol is due to elec¬ trical appliances.

"Xo, sir," responded tho captain. "The nearest inland is o good HDO miles away, and thm doesn't come from tbere, I should think."
"What cau it be?" asked several in the same breath.

supernatural iu tbe oppearance ot this boat, with its tolling bell. To nil of these Florence Harris, and her lover replied lightly, neither of them haviug the least faith in their credulity.
The captain listened impatiently ond then said:
"You're all o set of cowards. No donbt yon imagine Old Nick is aboard, with a crew of littlo imps, bound for tbe Qallopagos Isles with a load of brimstone. If you'll content yourself for ball on boor longer, I'll tell you something about it, for I intend to board that old lumbering bulk, even if it turns onttobe IhePlvingDatobman, or Davy Jones' flagship, and shall ex¬ plore it from stem to stern."
To show tbat be menut what he said, orders were given to heave to, and to got ono of the boats in readiness. By tbis time the nondescript was plainly visible to all.
It appeared to bo an old bulk, with a'singla mast in the centre, Tha bell was suspended from the masthead, and over and anon sent forth its so\r emn tolling, as the hnlk rose and sunk witb the hoavings of tho soa.
Before the ship was brought to wo had passed tba balk somo distance, so that whon we halted there wero sev- oral hundred yards intervening, and it was only dimly discernible.
A boat was lowered, and the captaiu having selected n crow, pulled awny toward the hulk. I aikad permission to accompany it, but on aoooant of a reoent illness was refused. Fortun¬ ate for mc indeod, was that refusal I
Tbero was something so extraordi¬ nary regarding tbe oppoarouco and action of th3 bulk that the curiosity of us all was so intense as to be pain¬ ful. Wo strained onr gaze, as tho captain and bis crew drew rapidly near it.
We saw tbe distanoe swiftly decrease between the two boots nntil the shad¬ owy forms merged into ona. And then followed an impressive silence- suddenly broken by a howl, a pistol shot and a scream ; and as onr hearts almost stopped booting wo sow, a mo¬ ment later, the boat put oH from tho bulk, and the men rowing with all their might back to tho ship. As they came nearer wo discerned thnt the captain wns missing.
Backstay Bob dashed toword tho boot and, shaking hia fiet at tbe men, demanded furiously:.
"Y'ou cowardly dogs! Whero is Captain Luster?"
"Tho demon has got him I" Absurd  ns  tbe  reply   might   have teemed at  nny other  timo, it wna ut¬ tered in solemn earnest, as the ghastly fooes of the crew attested.
In reply to our eager questions, tbey said the moment they came aiong- side Ihe craft they heard a low, hol¬ low, uneorthly sound, which eaused tb°m to hesitate, 'The captaiu climbed up the sida of tba vessel, desoended the hatchway und disappeared from view. Ho was bordly out of sight when tbe noise tbey bod heard nt lirst was repeoted, for louder and fiercer, Tho next moment Iho report of the captain's pistol was heard, followed by a terrific shriek, and then oil was atill.
Horror struck, tbey oallod loudly and repeatedly to their commander, but receiving no answer pullod awoy from the ship.
"You're n purty set of cowardly sneaks, aint yon, to go and desert your captain tbat wiiy, when, like enough, he needed you to nave his life," exclaimed Backstay Bob, forgetting in his fury that tbo first mate was among those whom he denounced. "I'm go¬ ing back t'.i that old hulk, aud if I can't get at tho demon in any other way I'll put It keg of powder in it and blow it to blazes I"
"Bob is righl, if his excitement docs make bim forget bis mannerii," said the mate. "It was nut my intention to dosn't Captain Luster in trouble. The meu wero so frightouod that I thought it best to come   back and get

Tho brute bad o chain to his neck and had been coufiuod to one corner of tbo room by a delicate iron riu,?, which had ©Ben put there to iio broken. Over the centre of tbo room was written somethiuz in an Indian dialect, which was pronounced by tho mate (who had spent several years in Indio) to read:
"I hive bought—I havo found that wbich I sought—vengeance."
Carefnlly removing Ihe body of thc coptoin to the littlo boat, ¦we scuttled tho mysterious croft, and bow it sink to the bottom of Ihc ocean. Shortly after, tho captain was wrapped in bi.i winding-sheet ond followed.
The strange, awful tale regarding tho old croft wo never learned. It ever remaijod to as all a decided mystery of the sea.—New Y'ork News,
