A flicker of fear passed quickly over the Spaniard‘s face at the words. but it was only a flicker. and in an instant It was gone. "You hear. Don Miguel?" said I. “flare you any plea to urge why we almuid not kill you 7” “No." he said shortly: “no pics that you would (‘mi-lltlt‘r adequate." I knew of one whit-l. he might have m-gv-d with success. but as he evident- ly did not at present recoznise me it was not the time to remind liim of Whitby and l'lgo. “Then, senor. you do not shrink from death?" ”Quinn salvo?" you promise its immunity {rum hurt if we not vou free?" “No. i will not. for you would muck me if i did And." he added tierv-ely.

"Yes. senor. I pledge my honor so far." he answered carelessly. so i bade While rise. He did so after some de- mur and very unwillingly. The Spaniard gazed at me sullenly and persistently. and as i began to feel ' mfortable under his evil eye. and those black orbs were banefulâ€"rl told Willie that i had something for his pri« vate ear. With a bow to the prisoner which. considering that l was long un- wed to movements of courtesy. was grumble enough i led the way down Itairs. and Willie followed. carrying Don Miguel’s sword and dagger tucked underneath ids right; armpit.

And with that we went aloft again. he to resume his interrupted sleep be- side Don Miguel. whom we found lye ing down in the shelter of the snake's teeth. and l to take the watch. CHAPTER XIX. The day passed and after it most of the night. but just before dawn the re- lief which ! had prophesied came. Under cover of the darkness Alec had landed his heavy load of men from Galley island on the west shore of the harbor. near to its entrance. but out of sight of the Spanish sentinels at the cave‘s mouth. Then he returned to Shelter island and took 08 Jan Pengu- ny and the others whom we had left there. The two parties joined ai-.l. hauling their boot up high and dry. man-lied with silent haste round the harbor till they crime to the tint before the cave. Herc. leaving the others ain- bushed in the thicket. Job 'l‘rehnlion and Aloe crawled through the grass and stalked the sentinois. who. as their font-led security had made them with? less; We“ easily surprised and SllPtlé- mi. ‘t‘lwu the rest at the party came up at a Hill and termed a circle reuust tin sleuth at the new. The estimate. llBllEllll the sales came out to discover its cause. but all or some three or tour of item had falls on in the senate they drew back again into the darkness. Alec thereupon aware that he would smoke them like so many ditches of bacon if they gave him any more trouble. and at the threat the: surrendered at discretion. After they had been disarmed and placed for security. together with the Galley island prisoners. in a conven- ient aisle of the cave. a small party ft m guard them. and the rest. themselves with the captives' made their way to the Temple hill to relieve us. Completely shielded by the thick un- dergrowth and by the darkness, they Mr fancied ‘ucur tu and made then care “I. were able to surround our besieaers and cover them with the arquebuses before they made their presence known. The tirst indication which Don Sancho and his crew had that they were trapped was the call to lay down their arms and surrender or they were all dead men. and the gallant don. see- ing the light of his own watch fire glintlng on steel barrels all around him. cared neither to parley nor to tight. but did as he was told. And by - so doing he probably saved many lives. both Spanish and English. The long struggle was over. and now the slaves had become masters and the “No. no. old man." said be: “it’s ill counsel you be giving us this time. I'll kill Spaniards with you in hot blood as long as I can stand an never ask for a duet sport. but to butcher them do fenssless an unreslstlng Isn't an m L'Jh sailor's Job at all. it's a common hangman's work. that's what it is. an Willie Trehallon bain’t going to sully hook or hat by doing it.

There you can blind- fold a prisoner an leave the gangway open. an then if so he chooses to march overboard. why. it bain’t your fault. all you’ve no call to bring the ship to all waste time in picking him up. But this that you be wanting us to do. old man. is murder.” “Oh. ho. hol Ab. he!" laughed the old man. “What dainty gentleman have we here? Why. Willie 'l'behallon. you with a face molded out of a Porte ingnle orange by four strokes of a marllne spike. you with a body as deli- cats and graceful as a side of beef. vou that have lost a hand and an eye in bloody warfare with these same gentle Spaniards for whom you plead so prettlly. are your feelings become so nice and dnnlking that vou blench and turn sick like a girl at the of a don or two dancing the hornolpe on empty air? is that you. Willie Treballon ?” “Aye." replied the boatswaln sullen- ly. "that's me. if you like. a fighter with the best 0’ you. but never a mur- dcrer." “What!" cried the old man angrily. “Will you never learn? Have not their beatings. jallings. starvings. cursinga made you so h yet?

Job. tell this dainty uncle of yours how you served the wasp that seemed that purple scar across your forehead." "Crushed un.” said Job. with a grin. “Ever a fool was Job." muttered his uncle to the rest of us. "an new he turns fool's evidence." Job chuckled. and the out into his weird. unearthly laugh. “on. ho. hol Fools both. do you say. my Netty boatswainl Well. perhaps it is on.

There are srtiilcers among us. and i myself have some knowledge of the shipwright's craft. and so i say let us collect our planking: at once and begin to set up the stocks on which to lay a keel. Has any one of you a better plan tooder?" The men looked at one another and exchanged their thoughts in half whis- pers. and Willie Trehallon. after bang- ing in the wind for a minute or so. rap- ped his book against his forehead and came forward as their spokesman "We baln‘t altogether in love wi' gal- lsys.

The men were do i lighted with the plan and eager to be- gin the work of shipbuilding. They swore to follow Captain [reload to the end and promised death to the first man who should disobey him. Then they rated John Topp as his lieuten- ant. Willie Trehailon as buntmln and Ian Progeny gunner. after which. re uremia-ring the old man and thinking he might work mischief unless he was iiuuiumi. they uamed lane captain of {Susie ever" the rlsuuets and promised land titui a tuthltiittl nature. with wutuii its could listen language tutu the ms is ease of a melt; Ami at this till mined his spirits instantly mt still a horrid torrent st "Gui its. tie!" and "All. he. to!" as NM or that before the month was s week older its would have wastes to about.

Most of them received the verdict quietly enough.

The Spaniard uttered no verbal reply. but shrugged his shoulders and gave a sneering smile which showed no do parlors from his previous resolve. Then Alec spoke: "Jan l‘cngony and Job Trchnlion. slip off Don )llgurl's iron shin and bore his back.
