"You don't belong to any of thosi

had some one to look out for it, but
there was no - one to look out for Tad.
And, for the first time in his short life,
Tad felt a feeling of something like
homesickness creep over him.
A familiar voice on the wharf, close
to the pile of cotton bales, aroused Tad
very suddenly from his reverie.
' "It's that Jones!" he excitedly ex-
claimed, though under his breath, aa
be peered down at the speaker. It waa
indeed that ingenious gentleman, as,
lifting his hat with winning politeness.
he had accosted Miss . Polly, who waa
evidently . impressed at such a display
of courtesy.
"May I ask, miss,'' said Jones!, call
ing up his most agreeable - smile,
whetheryou have seen a shabby-look
ing boy, carrying a small alligator-skin
sachel, anywhere in this vicinity with

"Why, yes he was down here awhile
ago, but I ' guess- he's , gone ' up-town
again," replied Polly, wondering what
the stranger wanted of the ; boy who
ealled himself Tad Thorne. . , i j -.
f Mr. Jones looked . sadly disappointed
at Polly's answer, while Tad,. winking
at himself, chuckled silentlyl What
Mr. Jones might have said is uncer-;
tain, for just then a third party hove in

Tad felt by a sort of injstinct, must be

left no doubt as to the nature of his
calling. -;- ; .-' . T ,-
Aow, then, Ephr'm,' said Captain
for the benefitof his daughter, who was

press with jtdmiring awe, "what night :

" "A , week ago 'last Thursday."
promptly returned Polly, with a shads
of sadness in her tone. 1
"Ah, indeed!" returned Mr. Jones'
interestedly, as he jotted something
down in the note-book, and "continued
to write as he talked. "Heavy gale,'
presume, and man fell from aloft, reef- .
ing the-a main t'gallant sails?" ' )
Regarding the speaker for a brief mo .
ment in pitying silence, Captain Flago
proceeded to enlighten his ignorance,
"Only square -riggers - carries f b gal-
rns'ls,", he explained, "and tho 'Mary .
J.,' : bein' a : fore-an-after, has no need -6
sech. Sam, " solemnly continued
the Captain,' laying his stumpy fore
finger on Mr. JonesV arm, to command
his undivided attention, "Sam was a.
black pig the cunnin'est, knowin'est
why, ' what s that?" he exclaimed, '
suddenly breaking, off in hi3 eulogium
on his lost porker, as the 'sound of i
suppressed giggle: was heard to pro.
ceed.fi"om directly overhead. . Turning
his eyes upward as he thus spoke, and
catching a glimpse of Tad's mirthful
face peering over the top of the cotton
bales, Captain Flagg's : fingers ihsensi- -bly
relaxed " their : hold upon thq -
japanned tin case containing his papers
and money. - .' !
ThiA.was the moment for which Mr.
Jones had been watching! Whipping
the tin case" from tho Captain's unre
sisting grasp," he dodged round the pile
of cotton' bales before Captain Jethro
could say 'Jack Robinson" or Folly re
cover her breath to scream.
- Now, despite his sudden, ill-timed
mirth, Tad had been-sharply watching
the movements of the erratic Mr. Jones,
i'Mary J's" crewr including the 5hief
mate all comprehended in the lengthy
person of Ephraim K. Small, otherwise
known as "Eph.".
JTad's- honest face shone with pleas
urable excitement as he handed the tin
box to Captain Flagg, and began brushy
ing his dusty knees, , while Polly Flagg
smiled her approbation.
... "My lad," said Captain Flagg, plac
ing his big Hand on Tad's shoulder, "it's
nigh eight bells come along and have
some dinner. , We'll . talk over matters

An invitation of this sort particu
larly under all the circumstances, waa
not to be refused, and Tad, recovering
" the sachel from its hiding-place among
i. the' cotton bales, accompanied Cap
tain Flagg on board of the "Mary
J.," where mutual explanations fol
lowed, while : George Washington waa
bringing the : dinner . into tie small
cabin. " -
In contributing his own sharerTad
insensibly told the most, of his &mpl
story, after which Polly Flagg, with
sparkling eyes, related her morning ad
venture and Tad's connection there
with; hearing which. Captain Jethre
gravely shook hands with Tad across
the table, -without speaking. Indeed,
he finished his dinner in like silence,
and, after pushing: his chair back, sat
staring so hard at the youth that" Tad
began to feel very hot and uncomforta

sion of Captain Flagg's meaning. Tad,
conscious of 'afilight choking in hit
throat, replied sadly that-he didn
know he had no mother, no friend
no home, ' and it didu't matter muck
where he went or what became of him.
Pollv's eves shone svmoatheticaHv. and
' the Captain's voice 1 was quite husky
when, a little later, he replied to Tad'
despondent answer.,
- "it mayn't i matter much to you,
Tad," he said, very tenderly and rev
erently, "but it matters c'nBider'ble tc
