BULLY HAYES. The Pirate of The Pacific. THE THRILLING STORY CHAPTER III. 13ch navas's usr cncrss. A time came when the excesses of Bully Hayes, and other deeper _ _ his example and impunity, reached the llrmt of endurance of the European powers inter- esled in the Pacific. The Goddefrois had failed. with liabilities amountin to more than five millions of dollars, ma y through the state of insecurity caused by these vil- lains. and their trading stations had fallen into the hands of all sorts of unscrupulous adventurers. The most beautiful and de- lightful portion of the globe, in short, had become a veritable pandemonium. Half measures having utterly failed, the British at length took the bold step of an- nexing the Fiji Islands, expelling the impu- dent impostors who called themselves the government, pensioning the King and ap- pointing an oriicer of great ability as Gover- nor with the additional title and almost unlimited authority of High Commissioner of the Western Pacific. In order to meet the slaves and pirates on their own grounds, or rather, in their own watcra,a number of small steam cruisers and swift'sailing schoonors were built, in the navy yards at Sidney and fitted out under the command of young tfii:ers who had al- ready seen service among the islands. 8 exceedingly elastic terms and boundaries of the High Commissioner's jurisdiction, gave these officers power to deal with suspicions vessels in any way they thought best, and the sea rovers soon found the climate of the Pacific becoming unpleasantly warm. Not a few of them got long sentences of im- prisonment in the terrible stockades of New South W'ales, while others, against whom no indictable offence could be proved, under the civil law, were detained in it“ at Levuka, the seat of government at Fiji, by the High Commissioner’s authority. A few, who were clearly provedto have stained their hands with blood, were hanged. Bully Hayes mat with his usual luck dur- ing those trying times. He was three times captured, invariably through treach- ery; but twice he obtained an acquittal, partly through the extreme difficulty in obtaining any sort of reputable evidence against him, partly through his wonderfully able defence of himself, and partly through the sympathy of the jury with a bold ad- venturer in a disordcred state of societ . 0n the third occasion, when things looke un- commonly bad against him and everybody thought the game was up, he mysteriously escaped from custody, and remained in bid- ing until the affair had blown over. After that things settled down rapidly in the Pacific, and Bully Hayes, cleverly adapting himself to the new regime, became quite a respectable trader an’d was even of great assistance to the authorities in detect- ing and following up the slavers. His fine appearance and mild manners prepossessed everybody, and among the merchants and even the naval oflicors he came to be re- garded as a much maligned man. The pirate, however, still survived under __that smooth exterior, and before very long the old Adam got the upper hand. Like most adventurers and dishonest people generally, Hayes was always a com- paratively poor man. Though enormous sums must have passed through his hands from first to last, and though he always had his pocko:s full of gold, he had never laid anytbin by, and now, when he had given up his 0 (1 methods of supplying himself with cash, ho was sometimes quite in straightened circumstances. There is noth- ing harder than for a habitual rogue to earn an honest living, and Bully Hayes was not the man to try very long. During this interval of seeming respecta- bility, too, he had once more become suscep- tible to female charms, and contemplated matrimony with thobuxom widow of a trader at one of the islands.» The lady. however, was not particularly eager for the match. She stipulated that Capt. Hayes should quit the sea once for all. and that he should be able to produce sufficient means to buy out her late husband’s partner, and secure cer- tain lands in the neighborhood of the trad- Ing station for cultivating coooanuts and cci’fie. The truth was, Hayes was not nearly so attractive as he had been when a younger man, and the widow was much more in- clined to confer’hor hand and her late hus- band’s savings on his mate, a remarkably handsome young Irishman named Magoo, commonly called the archbishop, from his alleged relationship to the celebrated pro- late of the name. Hayes had asuspicion of this, and was desperately jealous of Magoo. At the same time each of the men know the other’s strong qualities. and a great deal of mutual respect and confidence existed between them. They had been through many dark adven- tures together, and either might have be- trayed the other to the gallows at any moment. But each knew that he might trust the other implicitly, and, in fact they had come to have that feeling of attachment for one another which sometimes prevails among the worst of men. hlagoe chafed under idleness and repect- ability not less then Hayes did, and as he also had his reasons for wishing to make a large haulâ€"reasons not altogether un- connected with the widow aforesaidâ€"he was heartily glad when Hayes proposed to him one day that the should make ust one more cruise in the ol style before relinqui- shing the sea forever. Having obtained possession of a has schooner by a deliberate and singularly clever fraud, they loaded her with produce at stuka, under the very nose of the High Commissioner, and, having got their papers in due form, sailed away under the British fltg, nominally bound for Sydney. No sooner were they clear of the track of was eels, however, than they ran to an unin- habited island, landed their cargo, repainted the schooner, changing her name and post of registry, hoisted the French ling, which Was then becoming rather common in those seen, and sailed duo north. Well knowing the plans and whereaboutsof the British cruisers. the freebooters easily eluded them and making for the Solomon Islands and other equatorial groups, carried out a series of deprsdalions on the native villages and tradin station! there which airs recalled the ba old days. The Bells rolls of Tahiti became a name of terror throughout that portion of the torrid sane, and the plunder the obtained, together with adoeu encouraged by 3 l s r 6 l I l l I l OF A DOUBLE LIFE. the price of the ill-fated laborers she carried off. must have amounted to a very large sum, Returning southward, Hayes and Magoo. emboldened by their success, and becoming reckless in their eagerness to amass a fortune speedily, had the audacity toattsck a large sailing ship which they took to be an Ans tralian liner, and from which they hoped to obtain agreat prize in gold. Adopting his old device, which had answered so well with the Karl, Hayes partially dismantled his vessel, and hung out a signal of distress. Following out the same tactics as before, he contrived to get close to the ship as night was falling, with the intention of letting the schooner bear down upon her in the darkness and then, in the confusion bf the collision, boarding her from his boats and overpowering her crew. All went well up to the point of the attack, but there Hayes found that ho had made a terrible mistake. The ship was not an Australian liner, but 9. china trader, well manned and armed, and thoroughly prepared for meeting all comers. Her lascar crew fought like tigers, and Hayes and his men thought themselves lucky to get back into their boats and regain the schooner, leaving fully one fourth of their number dead or wounded on the deck of the other ship Hayes himself received a severe thrust from a pike, and this, together with mortification at his fiilurc, and trouble of mind about his love aflair, made him moroso and quarrel some, and addicted to drink. From that time forward the captain and the mate of the Belle Etoilo Were on any thing but friendly terms, and before very long they settled down into a bitter rivalry. The moto took care never to sleep without his revolvers ready and a man whom he could trust on the watch to give him the alarm at any moment. Hayes, however, showed no disposition to take advantage of him on board the schooner, and they came to a tacit agreement to have nothing to say bgyond what was necessary for working the s p. In stood to reason that such an arrange- ment could not last long ' between men of violent passions and natures hardened and brutalizsd by long familiarity with deeds of darkness. Hayes, nevertheless, was not ordinarily bru- tal in his impulses, though there was nothing he was not capable of in cold blood when he was bent on any purpose. But he had his own peculiar way of doing things. Magoo, on the other hand, was a hot headed follow, a perfect savage when his passions were aroused. but not really such a bad-hearted man as Hayes. . The lelo Etoile was nearing an island in the New Hebrides one day, not far from the scene of the Earl outrage, and the mate was sitting alone at his dinner, for the Captain and he never took their meals together. Hayes suddenly came down into the little cabin, and seating himself at the table, said in his pleasantest voice : THE HBETING ON THE ROAD AND THE SPBGTSB‘S WORDS 0F GUIDANCE. __.â€"â€" The Shade Was “sot Wrapped Up for Driv- ing" and Refused the luvitaion to Blue, as “Walking Was Warmer.” _â€" Such a glorious night l The snow sparkled like diamond dust, and the sleigh runners squeakod as they passed over it, With frost sound so dear to the heart of the true Can- adian. The moon had risen. and it was as bright as day. The horse’s breath seemed to fill the air with clouds, and his coat aleady be- gun to sparkle with front. Oh, it was good to be home again! “Canada for the Can- adians.” Is it any wonder we. love our beautiful country with such passionate de- votion? From these high and patriotic thoughts I was aroused by coming to a turn in the road, a fork. Now there were two roads to the village from this pornt, one lead- ing down a long, steep hill. at the .bot- tom of which an aboidesu, or primitive bridge, built of fir trees and brush, with alternate layers of earth and stonesâ€"a sort of earthwork, in factâ€"spanned a deep treach- erous little creek, in which the ice piled in huge blocks in winter, and, as it was an estu- ary of the river, it was a dangerous spot when the tide was high. Taking this road would cut cii'mor-s than half a mile of my journey, so I decided to try it, despite a curious reluctance on the part of my horse. The road certainly did not look as if it was traveled much, but just at the turn the snow had drifted cfi‘, leaving in nearly bare. So I forced the unwilling nag into the road- way aud jogged on cautiously. The spot bore an unpleasant name, and a still more unpleasant reputation. It was celled “ Ghost's Hollow." All UNCANNY PLACE. Fifty years ago, in the old days when the province was thinly settledand aweokly stage coachwas the only means of communication between thodii‘fereut towns, the horses of a heavily laden coach had taken fright at the top of the bill, and dashing down at mad speed gone over the aboideau. The tide was full in at the time and the creek filled with great floating blocks of ice. There were none to help in that lonely spot, so every one had been drowned, and the super- stitious country people insisted that on wild winter nights any one stand- ing at: the top of the hill and listening in- tently could hear the muffled sound of sleigh bolls, the shouts and the splashing and struggling of the horses. Certain it was that, when the tide was very low and the wind high, the water rushing through the sluiccs under the aboideau made an eerie, gurgling sound that was not by any means cheerful. I could hear it now with painful distiuotness, though there was no wind. And my thoughts traveled back to my boyhood and to old Angus McDonald, a queer old Scotch farmer, with whom I had been a ‘ Mr. Magoo, I have a proposal to make favorite, who had taught me how to make to you. 811'. Things haven’t been very fox traps and to shoot rabbits, to believe in agreeable aboard the ship for some time omens and to be frightened in dreams. past, and I think it’s about time we came to s. proper understanding. There isn’t room for two captains on one dock, and what’s v THE MEETING ON THE ROAD. He was a superstitious old fellow, who do- more, there’s a certain lady, whose name I l clared that he had the gift of second sight,and won’t mention, that can’t marry more than one man at a time. You understand me, don’t you 2 ’ The mate nodded and went on eating his tinned beef and pickles, wondering what was coming next. “Well, then, that's all right,” the Cup- tain resumed. “What I suggest is that when you've done your dinner we should just stop ashore with our bulldogs and see who's the best man of the two. Don't you hurry, it’s early yet. There's eight bells going now. You try some of that pudding. You'll find it very good. I'll go and bring her to anchor, and then we’ll get out our shooting irons and go and settle this matter snugly and comfortably like gentlemen.” The mate saw nothing for it but to com- ply, and, indeed, he was not sorry to see an end to his suspense, for he knew there must be a death struggle sooner or later. As soon as the schooner was moored the Captain and mate went ashore, With two other men to see fair play, the rest of the crew going aloft to got a better view of the proceedings. The spot chosen was a. smooth terrace just above the beach. The distance was twenty paces. the combatants being placed back to back with an agreement to walk ten paces straight ahead and then turn round and fire. The moment they turned Magoo fired; but Hayes stood still with his revolver in his hand at his side, looking calmly at his opponent. The mate, seeing that he had missed. and surprised at Hayes’s seeming hesitation, lowered his Weapon and called out, “What's the matter 2" Hayes, having thus gained time to take a deliberate aim, raised his revolver like a flash of lightning and sent a bullet into Mogoe's breast. Magoo at once returned the shot, and Hayes. throwing up his hands with a shout, turned half round and fell headlong on the grass. He was perfectly dead when the men got up to him, the bullet having struck him in the throat and severed the jugular vein. Thov buried him where he fell, and raised a cairn of stones to his memory. Magee's wound was not dangerous, the bullet having run along the breast bone and come out at the side. He sailed the Belle Etoile back to Fiji under her old name, and restored her to her owners, paying them handsomely for the use of her ; and. in con- sideration of his having rid the Pacific of a scourge and his promise to lead a new life. the authorities consented to overlook his ofi‘or ces. He married the widow and did well in trade, and many a time. when in a mood for reminiscences, he told the tale of Bully Hayes’s last cruise, with judicious selections from the adventures of the pirate of the Pacific.

I smiled to myself as I remembered it, and made a mental note that I would tell Angus the first time I saw him, and ask him what he made of the omen now. The horse stopped so suddenly that I nearly fell over the dashboard 1 And direct- ly in front of the sleigh I saw a man plodding slowly along through the snow. I could have sworn that he was not there half a minute before, and yet he could not have come out of the woods without my seeing him. “ Holioa l” I called. He turned slowly, and 1 saw that it was old Angus himself. “ Why, Angus, old follow," I said “ what in the world are you doing in this lonely spot 2 Jump in and I’ll drive you home. I was just thinking about you. " “ Many thanks, Walter, for yer offer and yer thoughts, too ; but it’s a cold night, and I’m not that wrapped up for driving; walking’s warmer," he answered. “ But what brings you out here on such a night, Angus 2” I persisted. “ Your rheu- matism must be better than it was, or you would not run such risks."

Once on the main road again we went like the wind, and soon the lights of home shone out. and in a few minutes more I was in the hall being shaken hands with. and kissed and questioned, passed around from one to the other like a sort of cordial, exclaimed over and commiserated because I had not any tea, and reading awolcomo in Maggie's sweet eyes that was more "truly sustaming,” as the old ladies say, than all the teas in the World. “ “'alter dear," said hi sggio," vnu have not been taking care of yourself. You look terribly worn and pale. WHY ll! TOOK TIIE MARSH RTAD. “Never mind, Maggie," l answered, “I am going to rest and got strong again now." The boys were both home for the day. Jack was in the civil service and Will was in a bank, bath younger than I, and already winning their own way in the world I thought with a sigh. Then mother came in to tell me my supper was ready, and every one came into the dinning room to see that I was well taken care of. Maggie poured out hastily made coffee, and if I could only have shaken off a curious feeling of langnor that would creep over me, I should have isltas if I jets to the man who, . I were in Paradise, after my long months of solitude. “By the way, Walter," said J ack sudden- ly. “ How did you happen to come the Marsh road, as of course you did, or you would not be heroâ€"you know you always took the old coaching road because it was a little shorter. \Vas it by chance, or did they tell you at the hotel that the aboideau was down 2" “I believe they did tell me,“ I answered. “At least the hostler called after me, but I did not hear him. So I took the coach road, and if it had not been for poor old Ansus McDonald I should be floundering among the ice cakes now instead of sltting here. I met him before I had more than started down the hill, and he told me about the ‘bito,’ as he called it." A SPECTRAL (“TIDE For afull minute after I spoke there was a dead silence. Then Jack opened his mouth to speak, but was checked instantly b a look from father. Maggie grew very [.aie, and thou flushed uneasily, and mother said something hurriedly about my having missed the train, and how disappointed the tie had been. Something had evidently happened, for every one seemed constrained, but made nervous efforts to talk, so I was glad when the meal, which had begun so merrily, came to a close. I went back to tho par'or with the girls and tried to feel as I did when I first came in, but it was of no use, and, hearing Jack's footstep crossing the hall, I slipped out and stopped him. “Look here, Jack,” I began, “did I say anything out of the way at supper ! ’ “No ! Oh, no, " said Jack, uneasily ; ho had ovi deutly received privat’z instructions to hold his tongue, and he found the task a hard one. “ Very well," I answered shortly ; "if you don’t choose to tell me, I’ll go out in the kitchen and ask the servants.

A Volcano starts lip. and it Well nigger Digs Through. Tokio journals report that the volcano Shiranosan. which rises from the shores of Likes Chuzenji, near Nikko, broke out in eruption early on Dec. 5. It Was observed by the local people on the evening of tho 43h that the water of the streams which have their sources near the mountain was much discolored and gave forth an unpleasnt rmoll. About midnight the sound of thunder psals was hoardto a distance of seven ri from the volcano, the noise continuing during the whole night. The watchman at the hot springs at foot of the mountain was so alarmed by the phenomenon that he fled to the nearest hamlet, where he reported that the springs were throwing upjots of muddy water to aheight of several feet. Twenty-four hours afterward the country folks became aware that the mountain was in active eruption, throwing out fire and ashes, the latter of which spread over the country to a considerable extent, reaching as far as Imaichi. Tho eruption took place from the crater formed in June, 1872, when the volcano became active for a time. Shiranesan was in eruption in J one, 1872. The height is about 8 500 feet.

About midnight on Dec. 9 the inhabitants of Miyasakiken were alarmed by rumbling noises proceeding from the sea and moun- tain in the direction of the southwest.

AFrenchman has been collecting data recently in regard to the dishes which the- feminine rulers of European countries pre- fer npon their tables. According to his statements, Queen Victoria is especially fond of Scotch cuisine. Her meal is invari- ably begun with a plate of oatmeal porridge, so dear to the palate of the Highlander. One of her favorite dishes is smoked ham. She drinks beer with great gusto. and eats bread baked especially hard and firm. The Queen of Sweden eats substantial food, consisting chiefly of beefstske, which is an invariable part of each meal’s bill of fare. She is also fond of smoked salmon, preserved according to the method of her country ; of meatballs dressed with beans, and of eggs fried in milk and oil. The court of Germany, strange to say, despite the German names of the dishes, is addicted to the French cuisine. The Empress Frederick, however, prefers the English cookery, and is especially fond of pastry. The royal family of Italy: although in many ways the simplest and most demo- cratio in Bumps, always dine from dishes of gold. They only drink the wine of their own country. and show great preference for the "fritto,” a dish composed of the hearts of artichokes and the combs and livers of chickens. Er Queen Isabella loves the “cooido” of Casolle, with all its accessories. She also eats daily a portion of rice. Tue Queen-Regent of Spain prefers the Austrian cuisine. She eats roasts of all kinds. with jellies. gooseberry jelly being one of her principal favorites. During the earlier days of her life in Spain she ate only one kind of bread, which was sent to her from Vienna. Of late years, however, probably in keepin with her patriotic endeavors, she eats t 0 bread of the country. Drowned in Toronto Bay. TORONTO, JAB. 3".â€"-l man or m d Mich; to.
