"The old boy has been round here for one, this morning. First time I‘ve seen his marks.â€"My word he has been chipping away kere," he added, as he looked at the broken _ fragments of .":.'l:e in the newly made curve of the path. "That‘s awkward," he said thoughtâ€" fully. ‘"Too steep to get over.â€"Ha! that‘s it." He smiled as he saw that to the left of the large block the green growth had been trampled down, the shelf being wide enouih for any one to pass round, though the gorge seemed there to be almost dark, so filled ug was it with the tops of the trees whic bristled from its side. "Nature must have made this pathbh," be said to himsel{; "and it can only be seldom trod. Leads to nowhere, of course, andâ€"â€" Hillo! here‘s the end." For, at a sudden turn, after passing an angle of the rock, he found himself face to face with a huge mass of stone, which had evidently lately slipped from a few feet above the track. and comâ€" plet_e_ly‘_blockgd the way. _ "Too bad of old Horace," said Digby, as he strode along, past Ramon‘s planâ€" tations till the wild country began ; and recognizing various places he bad passed beiore, the young explorer soon fo-ac.hed the spot where the track leadâ€" ng to the barranco commencedâ€"a path growing fainter and fainter, and more obliterated by the abundant growth, till it gradually became a mere shelf on the mountain side. The dense tanâ€" gle at first sloped down to his left, and up to his right, but grew more and more precipitous, till there was an almost per})endicular wall of volcanic rock out of which the shrubby growth and ferns spread out, and formed _ a shadowy ar:g. which screened him {from the sun ; while a foot away on his left there was a profound drop, the rock again going perpendicularly down, and ig places the shelf along which he passâ€" ed quite overhung3 the verdant gorge. And so it continued for quite a couple of hbours, during which he went on and on along the shelf, whose abundant ’rowth hid the danger of the way ; or it was only at times that he obtainâ€" ed a glimpse of the depths below, where some avalanche of stones had crashed down from above and swept the trees away . C For another bour he went on, wonâ€" dering that he had seen no traces left by his friend, but soon forgetting this in the fresh glories of the overshadâ€" owed path, and the lovely glints of gunshine in the zigzagging tunne! of ferns and creepers, which literally seemed to flow cown in cascades of growing leafage from the wall on his right. * "He‘s right ; it is a glorious walk," cried Dighy enthusiastically ; "only, it mlaoms so stupid to be enjoying it all alone .‘ well concealed, watching him till he passed out of sighi. Then, after a cautious look rounm4l, he sank back into his place of concealment, and the birds that bad flitted away returned, the stillness around being unbroken, save when the low deep murmur of the surf arose from far below. * For n moment he hesitated as to whether he should walk down to Raâ€" mon‘s for a chat before starting ; and he hesitated again after going a few yards ; but finally he stepped out boldly with the hot sun pouring down; and as ho went on, a careworn face was slowly raised from out of a clump of semiâ€"tropical foliage, amd Fraser stood ish landlady by his hurried _ and scanty meal. "Too bad of Horace," he grumbled to himself as he set off up the mounâ€" tain track to where it diverged, and the path led to Ramon‘s plantations, with the house away to the left in a beautiful nook which commanded a view of the distant islands. The sun was streaming into Digby‘s room when he awoke the next morning with the sensation upon him that it was very late; and on springing out of bed it was to find a piece of noteâ€" paper Iying on his dressingâ€"table, on which was written: "You were sleeping so soundly 1 would not disturb you. I have gone on. Eat your breakfast, and follow at your leisure." Digby dressed under a feeling of anâ€" noyance at his friend‘s desertion. _ He did not particularly want to join in the trip, for he had seen enough of the island and would far rather bhave gone up to Redgrave‘s; but Fraâ€" ser‘s start alone made him immediately fee! an intense longing to be off ; and consequently be quite upset his Spanâ€" She cast away the foolish dread diâ€" rectly, and with good cause, for Digâ€" by reached the venta about the same time as Fraser returned from his late stay with Ramon; and after a short chat over their morrow‘s plans, they both went to bed. He ran off, to master the longing to stay ; and with an uneasy feeling at beart, Helen returned slowly to the bouse, wishing that he had not come alone, so as to have a companion back along the dark path, where it would be so easy for an enemy to do him ‘"Take care? Yes; for your sake." he whispered. "Once more, goodâ€"night." "Yes ; in good time." "I shall see you at night ?" "Of course." "And you will take care. I have beard that some of these places are very dangerous." "Coming, papa," cried the girl, as she clung to Digby‘s hand. "Then you go," ahe whispered, "to the ‘barranco toâ€" morrow ?" CHAPTER VIIL According to what had grown into & custom, Digby found Helen and her father by the gate which commanded the steep t*ick, and another delightful evening, all too short, was spent. Muâ€" sic, talk of England, the life there, all had their turn, and then came the time to go, Helen walking beneath the great mellow stars down with her visiâ€" tor to the gate, for the last goodâ€"night â€"that farewell which takes so many times to say, and was bhere prolonged till Redgrave‘s voice was heard.

Ramon had been so anxious for him to come thereâ€"for both of them. The path had evidently been _ altered, by accident or design. â€" Was it by . accident or design. . Was it design, and the contriver‘s idea to rid himself of two men, be detested at one stroke ?â€"No; the thought was too horâ€" rible, and be would not barbour it. Vain effort: it grew the stronger; and as the time sped on, and the hurt p:sduced a feverish sensation of balfâ€" delirium, Dighy found himself fully beâ€" lieving that Ramon had contrived this pitfall ; that there was no escape ; and that freed from his _ presence, the treacherous Span‘ard would rénew his advances to Helen. ‘"Couldn‘t be darker than day," he said with a laugh to restore his courâ€" age ; and then he began to think about Helen, a bright subject, which lasted him for long enough, till the increas~ ing pain and stiffness of his inhjunes turned the current of his thoughts to his rival ; and then, like a flash, a susâ€" picion came to him: "What did Horâ€" ace say ?â€"The man was treacherous and false! Great heaven, have I fallen into his trap ?" "Good heavens!" he ejaculated _ afâ€" ter a pause, "suppose the poor fellow should tread upon the broken place and fall!â€"No fear. It was covered when I came along. It is all open He leaned against the side of the cave, thinking of his misfortune, and listening for step or voice to break the terrible silence around hbhim; but all was perfectly still ; and think how he would, he could not keep back an ocâ€" casional shudder at the idea of passing a night where he was. And now for a few moments his forâ€" ! mer sensation of horror attacked him, as he felt that he might pessibly never be able toâ€"extricats himself from the | trap into which he had fallen, and that he might go on wandering amongst the horrors by which he was surround-,‘ ed until he died of exhaustionâ€"mad. Again he mastered his wandering| mind, and spoke aloud in a reassuring tone. "I am not surrounded -b{ horâ€" | rers." h> said calmly. ‘"That which is | here ought to alarm no man of wellâ€" balanced intellect. It is known that I have come this way, by the people at the innâ€"â€" No: I did not tell them. But Fraser knew I was coming, and he! will search for me. Ramon knew I was| coming here, and I have nothing to do but sit and wait till I hear voices;| and then a shout will do the rest. Horâ€" ace rannot be long." 3 I no w "Aboy ! Fraser|!‘" he shouted aloud, and thon paused aghast, for his voice seemed to pass echoing hollowly away, giving him an idea of the vastness of the place in which he was confined. This discovery di dnot seem to help him, for, as he passed his hands over the rough vesicular lava, which was in place as sharp as when it had cooled down after some eruption hundreds of years before, he found that it seemed to curve over like a dome above his head; and though he followed it for some distance, he could find no place where there was the faintest possibility of his climbing up to the day. _ By cautious progression he at last found the side, but not uniil he had gone in two ocher directions, which seemed to lead him farther into the bowels of the mounain. "How bhorrible!" he muttered. "Yet what a blessing!" he added. "If the fall had been sheer, I must have been killed."* "I must have fallen, then, into one of the ancient mummy caves," he said, trying to speak aloud _ and coolly, though his words came for the moment burriedly and sounded excited and strange. He paused again, and wiped the dank perspiration from his brow. "There," ho said ; "I‘m betiter now ; soâ€"â€"What‘s this?â€"Yes, it must be ; I‘m bleeding.‘" He felt the back of his head, and winc,â€" ed, for it was cut badly, and a tiny warm streak was trickling down his He shrank away, for his act had raised a cloud of pungent choking dust, which horrilied him again. _ But this only served to make him recover his mental balance ; and as he stood there in the utter darkness, he seemed to see once more the side of that other ravine they had skirted weeks back, when he bad drawn Fraser‘s attention to the climbing figure which they had afterâ€" wards encountered as be crept up with his basket. As Digby cast down the grisly relic of mortality, he clapped his hands to his throbbing brow, and shrank farther and farther away, feeling as if his reaâ€" son was tottering, and ior a time the mastery of his mind bad gone. _ But this terrible sensation passed away as quickly as it had come, and he stampâ€" ed one of his feet with rage. Nasch n#ck feverish dream, to find that all was darkness and mental confusion. _ What it all meant was a mystery ; for his boad was thick and heavy, and memâ€" ory refused to give him back the reâ€" co.lection oi his walk and sudden fali. But he realised at last that he was awake, and that he was lying upon what seemed to be fragments of sticks ; ana as he groped about he touched something which set him wondering for the moment, before he could £rasp what it was he held. Then he uttered a cry of horror and recoiled, for his fingzer and thumb had passed into two. bony orbits, and he knew that the obâ€" ject he had grasped was a human skull! He was conscious of an agonizing sensation of pain, then of a stifling dust, of a sickening stupefying dizziâ€" noss, and then all was darkness. How long he lay there stunned he could not tell ; but he seemed to str.uf- gle into wakefuiness out of a terrible Without a moment‘s hesitation hbe stepped down, then took another step for the way descended apparently, to rise again beyond the block. ‘Then another step on to some fagotâ€"like brusbwood laid across to form a level way ; and as he did so, he uttered | & wild cry, and snatched at the rocky side to save himself. Vain effort, for everything had given way beneath him, and he dropged headliong, to fall, after what seemed to be a terrible descent, heavily far below. . CHAPTER IX.

DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. The Duchess of Marlborough is kept busy these days in attending house parties at the beautiful retreats of the English aristocracy, and some of the enteriainments must be decided novelâ€" ties to the American. For instance, at the Duke of Portland‘s, this transâ€" planted flower of the Vanderbilts sat at the dinner table with no fewer than eight Dukes and as many Duchesses. Into this most exclusive circle peers of smaller magnitude were not allowed to enter. The Earls, the Countesses, the Barons and other titular personâ€" "You will not find him," . groaned Digby ; but‘ Redgrave, whose face lookâ€" ed stony in his dispair, made no reply, strode on to the door and knocked. A tauie't-looking Spanish servant ansâ€" wered the summons. Redgrave stood gazing at him wildâ€" ly for a long space; and then gripped him by the arm. "Come," hbhe said laconically ; and almost ready to fall with bodily weakness, but with his agonising thoughts spurring him on, Digby thrust his arm through Redâ€" grave‘s and walked with him step for step. _ s § Te ( In a few minutes he saw whither he was being led ; and ten minutes later, with his bheart sinkin% lower, Redâ€" grave was going down the path which led to Ramon‘s house. ‘"No," said Redgrave, sadly* "he swears he knows nothing." _ y "It is not true," cried Dighy fiercely.

"Ah, you are here!" cried Redgrave excitedly. ‘"What does all this mean? Where is Fraser? Why are you hurt? Helen ?" It was a tong and painful journey ; and the sun had risen bhours before Digby had crept out on to the black sands, where quite a gale was blowing, as the great Atlantic billows came rolling in. Then he made his way rdand to the little inn. The landlady gazed at him in horâ€" ror, and began talking to him volubly in Spanmish, to which Digby could not reply. e $ e us d Somehow. be could not think about Helen. _ He felt as if he dared not. He could only dwell upon the fact that a pitfall had been prepared for him, and he »waunted to call Ramon to acâ€" count. Then, too, he wanted to know where Fraser was; why he had no{ come to his help, and why he had gone off before him. ‘Then he grasped the idea that it was early morningâ€"before sunrise, and that he must have passed the night in a feverish slumber in that dreadful place. The next step was easy. He knew that if he followed the little stream, soomer of later it would lead him to the seashore; and after slaking his thirst at one of the pools, he bathed his feverish temples and set off refreshed. It seemed a risk; but anything was better than staying in that loathsomea place; so, seizing the stoutest creeper within his reach, he began to descend ; and, to his great delight, found, after cautiously going down about a hundred feet from creeper to creeper, that the rocky side of the barranco grew less perpendicular, and less and less so, till there was no danger, only an awkward descent of a slope. which landed him at last by a trickling stream; while, on gazing up right and left, there were the rocky sides of the ravine, and above them, the dull gray sky, with one tiny orange speck far ahead. 4 It was dull and the wind blew in fitful puffs, which swept the leaves aside as he stood thera for a time, askâ€" ing himself what he should do. He was in no trim for climbing up such a place this; but would it be possible to get down ? The rest was easy. _ Ten minyutes‘ cautious progress over the dust brought. him to the opening, a rift in the rock overgrown with hanging creepers; and pishing these aside, he found himself gazing out| of what was like a roughly broken natural window in the perpenâ€" dicular rocky face of the ‘barranco, which seemed to go down hbundreds of feelalt. below. _ How far up, he could not all. Still, there was the cool current of air; so, forcing himself to rise, he beâ€" gan to walk slowly and cautiously in the direction from which it came, with the result that, after about an hour‘s slow progression over what was really but a short distance, ‘he suddenly caught sight of a pale greenish ray of light, and his heart seemed to give a bound. wind came in a soft steady current on one cheek ; and byâ€"andâ€"by, reason sugâ€" gested to him that this cool current of air must come from some opening far away in the %reat cavern. H> shivered at first at the idea of {Jlungmg farther into the darkness, or how. did he know where his falterâ€" ing steps might lead him, and what hidetis chasms might be yawning in his path ? C As he lay there. longing to rise, and dreading t{e pain that followed every movemenit, he became conscious that the air was cool and pleasant and reâ€" freshing to his bHirning brow. Then, by slow, degrees it _str\‘xof‘k_him that the It was dark as ever ; and he lay listâ€" ening and hoping for the relief which did not come, trying to be cool and think cont some means of escape, and still telling himself that he hbhad exâ€" aggerated,. and that Helen was safe; this was but an accident. 2 Digby‘s awamkening from his stupor was stran?er and more wild than his recovery from the stiunning fall. It was hours before he could grasp where he was, and then he found h‘nself lying upon the soft dust, so stiff that he cduild hardly move an inch. _ _ .. The agony increased, and with the mental suffering came a wild feverish horror, which grew upon bim till his brain throbbed ; a sense of confusion which he could not overcome, increased; and at lastâ€"long after be had fallen â€"he felt that he could bear no more, and all was blank.
