The allelic. of death was over all. In the open channel which lay be- tween the can-act and the land spit there floated something over which n dozen sea. fowl were screaming and lighting. A glance was enough to show what it was for which they fought; it was the ill starred lover of a men- maidenâ€"some stout mariner swept from the decks by a huge green wave end then seized by snowy arms and carried away to a beauteou: home among the branching sea shrubs. .- A '1'“ Es clutches the sides of his throns snd awn closes his eyes for sn in- stant.

The mermaid is standing beside him. glass in hand, combing her streaming tresses. She turns. meets his gaze and speaks in words which an him with delight. She puts a conch shell to her ruby lips and blows a call. It sounds afar through the waving bushes. through the rainbow colored weeds, over the open plain. through the tangled forest. The brilliant fishes hear the note and shoot away through the limpid water with its message. A school of dolphins cry holiday to their master and come gamboiing up to the tryst to lie in a gleaming circle on the Jeweled sand. Then follow troops of mermaidens. some riding on the backs of shaggy sea horses. some racing along in shell chariots drawn by teams of emulous porpoises; and after them come the mermen. bearing posies of fair sea flowers which wither when they meet the air.

He sits in the stately palace they have given him and covers his face with cruel hands to shut out the light of a hundred inl- trous eyes. In vain those ravishing glances must prevail.

And he pointed to some half score of men who were making their way down to a bot: which lay drawn up on the beach. A IIA jug of rock almost concealed It. and It was only when we saw the point for which the men were making that we caught sight of the boat 3t all. _ _-- . an-“ “What shall we do?" said I. “Cdl he other two fellows and have at them ;t once?" “No use.

There’s no manner to be made out of these teL lows. so where's the use of meddling with them?" There arose from below 0. sound which canned us to prick our ears to thei: sharpest angle. A body of men had emerged from the cm! lending some prisoners with them. and one of the utter was singing an English sen «long. The words come up to on dis- tinctly through the den: morning nit: '31}; {he} w'on't be content to patrol the shlngle down there like no my harmless crabs.” “Plunder! Jack.

I retorted hotly. “But true words. though none but your sworn shlpmate dared hnve used them. Hark! What's that?" And up from among the slender tern fronds arose the “peewhlt. peewhlt” of a plover. “Traitorous curs!" said he. “do you make full confession? Come, you dog, there. you with the crippled eye and the crippled hand. you who worst mil- used your trust. do you speak for your companions?" “Mac n. Don Urbano?" quot!) Willie's solitary eye glanced for s second at the knoll on the low cliil's edge. and then he burst out ngain into his song as cheerily as it he were seated on an English tavern bench. Presently the cortege came to a standstill. and three armored Span- iards. seating themselves on bowlders. motioned for the prisoners to be drawn up in line before them. “A court martial!" l whispered. One of the Spaniards began to ad- dress the prisoners in English. and it seemed to me fiat his voice was strangely familiar. Shiloh’s Consumption - Beck ever. Mi (cunt: (leth- .n the nimbl- M an.
