CHAPTER XXXV. (Continued )
“‘Hold your peace, if you. are wise,” said Goffe, who had his own reason for desir- ing to increase the panic of his captive: ‘‘ we have not murdeued a man these three months, and who eat you put us in mind of it?” ** You are but joking, I hope, worth Captain,” replied Teptsene, Ss This is worse than witches, dwarfs, dirki of whales, and cowping of cobles, put to- a vengeance ’— What would murdeving me do to you ?” ** We might have some pleasure in it, at least,” said Goffe.—‘‘ Look these fellows in the face, and see if you see one among that mer. kill a soon Ape let it alone ?”—-But we will speak more of that when you have first hada taste of the vilboos—unless, indeed, you come down with a handsome round

and succeeded so far that, besides exciting a ood deal of discontent against Goffe, he rought the crew to the resolution of seizin
the first vessel of « tolerable vance, an
declaring that the ship, crew cargo should be dealt with according tothe sage which
Cleveland should receive on shore. It. was
judged at the same time proper to try the
faith of the Orcadians, by removing from the roadstead of Kirkwall, and goi round to that of Stromness, where, according to the treaty betwixt Provost Torfe and Captain
Cleveland, they were to victual their p dency
They resolved, in the meantime, to entrust the
command of the vessel te a council consisti
of Goffe, the boatswain, and Bunce himself until Cleveland should be in a situation to re- sume his command.
These resolutions having been proposed and
acceded to, they weighed anchor, and got
}their sloop under sail, without experiencing
any opposition or annoyance from the battery,
which relieved them of one important appre- hension incidental to their situation.

Triptolemus did as desired, Goffe’s willin hand relaxed the grasp as he had seameieot the agriculturist trundied off like a football that has just received a strong impulse from the foot of one of the players, and, with celerity which surprised himself as well as all beholders, fled through the town of Kirkwall. Nay, such was the impetus of his retreat, that, as if the cay eo the pirate was still open to pounce upon him, he never stopped till: he had traversed the whole town, and at- tained the open country on the other side. They who had seen him. that day—his hat and wig lost in the sudden effort he had made to bolt forward, his cravat awry, and his waistcoat unbuttoned,—and who had an opportunity of comparing his round spherical from and short legs ‘with the portentons speed at which he scoured through the streets might well say, that if Fury ministers arms, Fear confers wings. His very mode of run- ing seemed to be that peculiar to his fleecy eare, for, like a ram in the midst of his race he even and anon ‘encouraged himself. b great bouncing attempt at a leap thoug there was no obstacle in the way.
There was no pursuit after the agriculturist

SPECTACLES and EYE GLASSES always in) after, him, yet Goffe turning peace-maker for
once in his life, so ex rated the dangers that would attend a branch of the truce with the people of Kirkwall, that he prevailed up- on the boat's crew toforbear any active hostilities, and to pull off to their vessel with all despatch.
The burghers, who regarded the escape of Triptolemus as a triumph on their side, gave the boat three cheers, by way of an insulting farewell ; while the Magistrates, on the other hand, entertained great anxiety respecting the probable consequences of this breach of articles between them and the pirates, and could. they have seized upon the fugitive very privately, instead of complimenting him with a civic feast in honour of the agility which he displayed, it is likely they might have delive the. runaway hos once more into the hands of his foeman. But it was impossible to set their face publicly to such an act of violence, and therefore they contented themselves with closely watching Cleveland whom they deter- mined to make responsible for any aggression which might be attempted by the pirates. Cleveland, on his part, easily conjectured that the motive which Goffe had for suffering his hostage to escape, was to leave tim answer- able for all consequences, and, relying more on the attachment and intelligence of-his friend and adherent, Frederick Altamont. alias Jack Bunce, than on anything else, expected the result with considerable anxiety, sinee the Magistrates, though they continued to treat him with civility, plainly intimated they would regulate his treatment by the behavior of the crew, though he no longer commanded them.
It was not, however,. without some reason that he reckoned on the devoted fidelity of Bunee ; for no sooner did that trusty adherent receive from Goffe, and the boat's crew, the pews of the , of Triptolemus, than he
uediately concluded it had been favcred by
¢ late tain, in order that, Cleveland ather being put to death or consigned to hopeless imprisonment, Goffe might be called upon to resume the command of the vessel.
his mark,” said Bunce. to his confederate Fletcher ; ‘‘ or else I am contented to quit the name of Altamont, and be called Jack Bunce, or Jack Dunce, if you like it better, to the end of the chapter.”
Availing himself accordingly of a sort of nautical uence, which his enemies termed slack-jaw, Bunce set before the crew, in a most animated manner, the which they all sustained by their C romaining,
as he was pleased to term it, in the bilboos , without any hostage to answer for his safety ;

Horses’ Sense.
Never ride a horse without first making his acquaintance and securing his good will is the advice of a trainer. Go to his head, speak kindly, pat him, look in his eyes. Whether you are’ friend ors foe, he will judge by your voice, your eye, and your breath. Horses judge a man as quick as a man does a horse. Feed and water abun- dantly at night after work and the animal has had timefto rest and cool off, Feed mederately in the morning or before work. Parthians aad Arabs prepare their horses for hard drives by fasting rather than feast- ing: » More horses: are injured by hard driving on a full stomach than by any other
. Never let a horse eat or drink much when he is hot from work. Study your horse, treat him according to his nature, make him your friend, and he will do better and safer work.
