I HAD l*<>n busy dodging the
lump!) of coal thrown at at* by
tiremen for a ?wk or so ami
concluded to make a change by
poinp among the farmer*. It wns
corn cutting time, ami I felt sure of
earning a flnllar or two to carry me
ML A hoho who doesn't know all
aliont agriculture hasn't half lenroed
his omfpssion I struck out on a
three wile walk and brought up when
I reached a farmer and hts hired man
at the roadside feoce.
"No cold Tittles for tramps." says
the farmer.
"I've had my banquet for the day."
says I. "Resides that. I'm no tramp:
I'm a hobo."
"Same's n punkins about the same
as a squash."
"Rust his eokernui for him!" advised
the hired man
"IxKikln" for work*" asked the farm
er Instead
"For a few days
"Waal. I dunno Von don't look verv
hefty "
"Rut I can cut wrn." I answered.
"1 don't want to s.-it nuthln* to hnrt
your feelln's. but von look in me as If
yon lw?d l^een a pirate 1^ yon hare
?ns shot two or
you needn't I* frald to own op. No
body here is poln' to say any thine
about ft. Jim. yon won't never toll,
will you?"
The query was addressed to the
hired man. and after thinking for a
moment he replied:
"No, I wont never tell, but I allns
said that if i ever met a pirate I'd
give him a eanl domed rood hnstinT
Th? Story of H"? Lit*.
Thus encouraced. I sat down on a
stump, the farmer and his hired man I
sat down on the loe before mc. and I
proceeded to say that at the ape of
twenty-fire J went from New Bedford
on a whalinc ship. After being out
a year or so and taking: about a dozen i
whales we touched at Valparaiso, and
as I was a very sick man I was sent ,
to the hospital, while the ship con
tinued her cruise.
"So you ketched whales, eh?" que
ried the farmer, with sudden interest.
"But he don't look like it." added the
hired man
"Yes. I've helped to catch whales."
"Bipper'n this k>gT"
"Yes. far larger. As lone as from ,
here to the fence and three time* as
larce around as an ox."
"By thunder! Then It must be sure j
that the whale swallowed Joner?"
"Not a doubt of It Well, as i said.
I was sent to the hospital, and for a
month I was a very sick man. Then
I began to mend, and In a month more ]
I was able to walk at?out In the hos '
pita I grounds One day. while I v as
sitting on the bench in the sunshlve. I j
was accosted by another convalescent j
He had been In the hospital to be
treated for three different wonnds j
He was a soft spoken man. as smooth j
as oil and at first 1 took him for a I
church deacon. After three or fonr j
days he crew more confidential, and
then he betrayed himself What do j
yon think he wasr*
"A llvln' pirate, by thnnderr et I
claimed the farmer.
"A horse thief, mebbe." added the
hired man
Chackars M??tt the Pirata.
"Tea, he was a pirate He was
known all alone the South American
coast as Bloody Dick. I suppose he j
had captured fifty different ship* and 1
put a thousand people to death before j
I met him. At first, when he told mc [
he was a pirate. 1 drew away from
him. but the Ion per he talked the j
more I liked him He had been robbed i
?f his all when an orphan, and that's ,
why he had turned plrnte. He wanted >
me to po with htm. but I refused
However, the next day after I had
refused I cot a tetter from home that
my sweotheart had married another,
my old mother was dead and that a
cousin of mine had robbed me of all
my estate. This news made me reck
tess. and I went to the pirate and told
him I'd po."
"By erackey. bui this L? glttin' lo

ed about: on a log
"Ye*. but why <Mln't he go detain'

*W*U, a* eoon as we bad both recov
ered we went to sea. Bloody Dick bad
a brig <?iled the Death Wntch. and
she rati In to Valparaiso and took oa off
She had a crew of eighty men. and of
all the villains on earth they were the
worst. The only inim In the world they
feared ir?s Bloody Dick. He shot ;
down two of them with hi* own band
the first day we were oet. He made |
me hla mate and told me to aboot the i
first man that looked crosseyrtl at tn? ;
All of thorn believed that 1 had waded
In btood nnd was a terrible feller."

"Gosh, hot this Is snnthln' we don't
pet every day:" said the farmer aa be
poked his hired wan In the rllis
"But 1 hain't em-onragln" plrntea my
self." answered the other In a anlky
tone.
"The shlip we captured." I continued |
"was the Bounding J*?lly of tendon. j

and he did not *u*pe?-t our wicked

half a million dollars in ??ash and then
scuttled her "
I ""And how many |<er>*ms did yon
1 kill?" asked the farmer
I "1 don't rememlwr exactly, but not
over four or live I was new at the
I business, a ad tlte sight of blood af
fected me For two weeks after that
I had nightmare every night. Did you
ever kill anyone youtxelf '/"
"Ijinds. wo: I've killed hogs and

"Ton never mlml goose flesh." chlded i
j the l?o?? "hut sit right down ag'ln and !
j hear tlte story out. I've waited thirty 1
years for a pirate to come along, and ;
now I'm going to hear ell about It. i
You didn't stop with one ship, did yon. ;
stranger?"
i "Oh. no: HVe robbed, burned, scut i
tied and murdered right along for the
next two veal's I think we took about j
fifty ships and murdered at least 5.000
people. DM .Ton ever r-*ml of how we
took the Winsome Maiden of Now

"No. I never did. I never got hold
of a real pirnte book, though I've all*, i
wanted to."
"She was taking a hundred school
ma'ams, fifty orphan girls and seventy
widows aronnil Cape Horn on an e*
cnrslon w hen we overhauled her. We
signaled that we were short of inns
tnrd to make sandwiches with, tnd
she lay to nntll we came np Then
sixty of u* boarded her and began the
work of slaughter Did you ever kill
nn orphan girl?''
"Thunder, no! Didn't t say I had
never killed anybody?"
"near how calmly the villain talks
of murder r mnttered the hired man.
Tough Widows and Orphans.
""Well, yon hiive no Idea bow tough
some of them are. It takes more to
kill them than It would an ox. School
ma'ams die pretty easy, but widows
and orphans want a lot of hacking
It took us nearfy half a day to finish
that crowd"
"Bnt why are yon here on the
tramp?"
"One of the ttchoolmr.'aras told me
before I killed her that she had a
mother In this state, and she asked
as a special favor that I would hunt
the old lady np and give her the par
tlcnlars. I'm not tramping, but look
ing."
"Oh. 1 see. Jim. yon go to work,
nnd. stranger, yon come along to the
nouse with me."
On onr way he added:
"I'm goln' to give you a feed? all
von can hold? and then yoo'd better
move on. I thltik a pirate who has
reformed Is Jest as good as anybody.
