I ret'un,dDU,kiie1: When Ch"r, ML" lTlnlDS the dinino floor toe. of their rl.it. but tl,e mere fact ftat the Mnot,ty of my home-hitherto ilL 1 0Pen ,0 ,he had been th.? V" mt- 1 badB Cirl that the houw was ecarely looked here after whenever he left it In my absence. Over the mantel in my den hung two nui.ket. out-of-date but still capable of boring holes In the atmosphere. My little armory held a shotgun, for use in the marshes, and two revolvers, whose only use heretofore had been for target prac tice. I took them from the drawer and looked them over; they were ready for work when needed. I sat on the porch, and considered the situation. Something was about to hap pen, sompUiing 1 could not tell what that centered around this man who had mysteriously taken possession of the Ship and proposed to offer combat on the sands. What he was or who he was I could not guess; speculation in these lines brought me immediately Into blind al leys; but there was no doubt that in sit uation and character he was certainly the direct descendant of a more adven turous age. I was unmistakably drawn to him. I could see him as he stood on the beach, buffeted by the storm, gazing at the men who were pulling away, and aa he had stepped from the hatchway, hat In hand, bowing to Barbara Graham with the chivalrous manner of a cavalier, and aeain as he sat across the table from me, his slender hands ready to seize upon the pistols, bis eyes, full of amusement and audacity, looking straight into mine. There was no doubt about it, the Ship belonged to him by right of inheritance) and his arrival had brought me strange tidings. I thought over the matter a long time before I went to bed. Early the next mortiing 1 took my dip in the sea, and was returning, clad in a bath-robe, when I caught sight of a man peering at me from the pines. I waved my towel, and he disappeared. As I was finishing dressing, a little later, I stepped out upon my balcony, and I saw the same man, much nearer now, gazing intently at the cottage. I hate spies, so I spoke somewhat angrily. "Hi, there! What do you want?" I cried, beckouing to bim. He came forward rather sheepingly, and touched his hat, "I was only taking a look at your bouse, air." "And is that what you were doing some twenty minutes ago?" "Yes, sir; that's all I was doing." "Are you an architest?" I demanded. He wore a plain blue suit, with an old straw hat, and might have been al most anything. He smiled. "No, I was merely look ing about to see what there was to see. There wasn't any harm meant." "There isn't any harm done, but, then, there isn't anything to see. I'm not very partial to sight-seers, especially when they hide behind trees. If there's any thing you want to ask me about, speak out." He hesitated a moment. "A Btranger a tall man who speaks French 'hasn't stopped at your house, has he?" "No. Is he a pal of yours?" The man grinned. "Not exactly. Well, I won't trouble you any more. Good morning." At breakfast I again cautioned Charles to remember that he knew nothing. I could do no work in my present state of mind, so I slung my Deld-glusses over my shoulder and went to call on Dupon ceau. He was sitting at the cabin table, breakfasting on the remains of our last night's supper. My heart smote me. "Why didn't you let me know? I could have brought you breakfast." "It matters little; yesterday I obtained some food from a farmer, but that is too dangerous." He smiled. "I'm quite used to doing with little." I sat down while he finished breakfast. After that we walked the short length of the cabin, Duponceau asking me a great many questions about the coast and the country inland. . I told him what I could, and he seemed satisfied. Then I decided to take my easel and paints and go up on the cliff above the Ship to paint "I can keep a good lookout from there of the farther beach," I said. "One can sweep It thoroughly from the cliff with a pair of glasses." 1 settled down on the cliff, and for half an hour forgot everything but the scene In front of me. At the end of that time I looked up the distant beach with my glasses. Some one was sitting there, half way up. I studied the figure and decided that it was a woman, no other than Bar bara Graham, Pride is a curious quality. Sometimes It will not even last overnight. My one desire now was to have a few words with Miss Graham, so I left my easel as it stood, and went towards ber. She was half lying, half sitting, in the oft sand, some of which she had moulded Into a cushion for her back, add a book lay open at her side, but she was not reading. SJie was gazing at the sea. "What do you think of our pirate? She started, looked round at me, sat op and clasped her knees with her hands. I sat down on the sand beside her. "I was just thinking of him. I was thinking that I like him tremendously. "Naturally. He rescued you from a hie fellow." I "Yes" she agreed, without looking at me; "and a girl can never forget debt 'of gratitude for ttet sort of thing "I must apologize," I Mid. "for my I rudeness. Of course it was no busmess of mine whose portrait you bad in jour I locket." T "Pny. All right, reserved. X loowOOQOQftooocooooeooeoooC Alastair 1 at Harvard," etc "Of course not," she agreed ; "althoogh t happen, that was Just the reason why I put it there." ' "Put what there?" "J Rodney's portrait In the locket, and tha locket where you would find It." ou did? Why?" "Ob, just to see what yon would do and you did k." "YeS".,1 did'" 1 admitted. "Then you're not " but she interrupted by turning to me. "Monsieur Duponceau was aa polite as he could be, and laughed at all my pro tests on the way home, but I think h was running Into some danger on my ac count I believe he haa come to Alastair to hide." "I know he has." "Oh, tell me all about it !" she hegged. "I know very little. He's an adventur er, and he's fled from Europe, and there are people very anxious to take him back, and he's going to live in the Ship. More over, it seems reasonably certain that there's going to be trouble." "Is there ?' she cried, half In excite ment half in delight "Oh, let's help him I" " I found that I only needed this chance to avow myself openly. "We will. I've decided to stand by him, whatever happens," Barbara looked exceedingly delighted. "If I were only a man !' she exclaimed. "A? it is, I'll have to do everything by proxy." "You can help us a lot." "How?" "By coming to see us often and bring ing us news of the outside world." I instantly identified myself with Dupon ceau. "That is, if it doesn't begin to look too dangerous," I added. She turned to face the ocean again. "I should like to do something to help him," she said, "because I like him. Sup pose we go to see him now." I picked up my easel and paints on the cliff, and we boarded the Ship. At the foot of the cabin stairs Barbara saw the silver-mounted pistols blazing in the sun. "Oh !" she said, looking at Duponceau, who stood in the door very tall and straight. "Shall you use those?" "I should not be surprised," he an swered gravely. "Against whom? I haven't seen an enemy on the beach." "You will see," he answered. "They will come secretly perhaps to-night." "To-night !" she echoed. "And how many will there be?" There was a grim little smile about his lips now. "I cannot tell ; perhaps a doz en, possibly a score ; that depends on how resolute a man they think me." "I think you very resolute," she said soberly; "quite the bravest man I have ever seen." Unquestionably there was no logic in this remark, and yet I couldn't but own that I agreed with Barbara.' "To-night," she mused, her eyes deep with the deliberation of a general. "How will vou defend the Ship one against a dozen?'' "You forget Charles and me," I put in. "Will you fight too?" she asked. "Surely. I looked up my weapons this morning and put them in ordr. I will bring them on board this afternoon and add them to Monsieur Duponceau'a." "And you, too, believe in the enemy?" she inquired. "Most certainly. I saw one of tbem this morning." Barbara sat down on one of the chairs I had left "To think," abe said, "that Captain Kidd should come to life again ! But where is the buried treasure?" I thought of the chest I had seen car ried into the woods on the niht of the storm, but said nothing. When I glanced at Duponceau be was smiling at Bar bara. 'This is a very desperate matter for me," he. said, "but even the most des perate affairs are brightened by a wom an. You are my good angel, mademoi selle." He said it in such a way that Barbara could not but be pleased. "Thank you, monsieur ; and what plana have you made for defense?" Duponceau outlined bis plana. First of all he would stay well hidden from sight; then if bis enemiea should find him, there were three points ot attack : from the open sea, from the cliff above the causaway, and from the beach be yond the protecting circle of rocks. We studied each in turn, and planned bow three men, well armed, could hold the Ship against a score. "I should like more ammunition than I have," Duponceau con fessed. "There is plenty in my cottage," I told him. "Let's get it now," cried Barbara, "and some of the guns." We went to the cottage, and Barbara, in her interest forgot what she would have termed the proprieties, and entered, and looked about my dining-room while I collected cartridges and pistols. She in sisted on helping Charles put up a quan tity of food to carry to the Ship. At last we started forth again, she with the pro visions, I with a shotgun and two revol vers. Half way down the beach two men came out of the pines and walked down to meet us. "Where are you going with those guns?" one of then), a surly faced chap, demanded. "What business is that of yours?" I asked. He changed his tactics. "We're look ing for a man who's reported to have landed somewhere on this beach a night or two ago.- "Yes," I said pleasantly, gazing absent ly at the sky. "Well," went on the otter, "where are you taking those guns?" I looked at nim angrily now, but before I could find worda Barbara waa apeak- Inf. "If there is one thing I prtii1ar! dislike," she amid. It ia curiosity. It you must know, we came out here to bnnt sand-snipe, and we're Just about te be gin. That's all ; you may go now ? and he waved her hand towards the pines. The men were clearly surprised. They were more so when they saw the girl calmly sit down on the sand, mot ion me te do likewise, and proceed to load on of the revolvers. Shortly after, they withdrew, whispering to each other. In order to disarm suspicion, we ant there eoroe time, and I built miniature sand fortiflcationa in order to teach Bar bar the art of war. "I wonder if I can learn to shoot?" she ssld presently. "If I meet many more like those, I shall be tempted to try." I handed her a loaded pistol. "Aim at that rock out there," I said, pointing at one showing above the water. She took aim, did not close her eyes, pulled the trigger. The report, sharp and clear, cut the silence ot the beach like a knife. We saw the water splash where the bullet entered. A frightened gull screamed loudly away. The little puff ot smoke faded ; all waa still again. Barbara looked at the revolver, then at me. Her lips were smiling, but her eyea were deep with excitement, "The war baa begun," I said. "That shot waa to let the world know that Ala tair ia armed." (To be continued.) WAS A TBIFLB SLOW. Trmta Schedule of a Certalo Soatk ro Railroad Beaten bv Hoar. "For several years I have been a commuter on the Erie," said the aun burned man. according to the New York Herald, "and I have joined In the general raillery at the expense of that unique system. But never again, I have just come from Florida, where they have railroads compared with which the Erie la the personification of rapid transit If you get off the main line of travel In Florida you are up against It good and pleuty. "I wanted to go from Tampa over to the east coast, and part of the it inerary took in a branch road from Orange City Junction to New Smyrna. The distance la twenty-aeren miles. You leave Orange City Junction at 4:35 p. m., and if the train ia on time It gets you to New Smyrna at 7:15. Only two houra and forty-seven min utes to come twenty-seven miles i That's all I Two trains a day are op erated over this road combination passenger and freight trains. "There used to be an engineer named Bill Rogers who ran this after noon train. He Is dead now. I un derstand the strenuous life was too much for him. Bill used to be greatly annoyed by the razorback hogs that roam at large through the country, branded just like cattle. There was one bog In particular that gave Bill a lot of trouble. Every evening he could be found lying comfortably be tween the rails at a nolnt about two miles outside of New Smyrna, and Bill would have to climb (lown from bis cab and pry the hog off with a crowbar. Tou can kill a negro down In that country and nothing Is thought of It, but you mustn't kill a hog. If you do, you are liable to go to Jail. "Well. Bill had a grouch on one day, and when be saw the bog stretch ed out In the usual wallow he deter mined to defy the law. So, Instead of stopping to pry the hog off the track, he opened up his throttle and started for the obstruction at full speed. Just as the engine was almost upon him the bog seemed to realize that some thing was wrong. Not waiting for the usual assistance, he got up, shook himself, and started down the track ahead of the engine. And I have the assurance of at least a dozen respecta ble witnesses that the hog beat the train Into New Smyrna station by a fraction over three minutes!" Thrift la not generally supposed to be among the quulities of the negro. A writer in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, however, tells a story of a colored woman who should be an ex ample to ber race. SUA was an ex tremely black African, and was being examined at a conference at Tuskegee. "Do the people In your community own homes?" came the query from Mr, Booker Washington. "I thinks they's fixing to own' em, sah." "But do they own them? "A heap of times you can't Just teli. sab. But they's holding 'em down." "Dp you own your home?", "Yes, sah, I do," proudly. "And I can tell you jest how I got It . 1 swapped a puppy-dog for It" "Tell ua about it." "Well, it was this way. When I started. I didn't have anything at all but jest a little yaller puppy-dog. "I took the dog over to my brother-in-law's. He bad eight little bits of plga, oh, Jest so little; an' I swapped the puppy with hlin for one of the pigs. "It was sec-b a little pig that It didn't look like it would live, but' I nursed It good, and I prayed to the Lord to make that little pig come for' ard to do me good, and the pig lived and grew. "The first year I turned her out and when she came back in the fall she brought me seven little pigs with her. "That was my start I've never had to buy any meat since. This winter I've killed three hogs, and I've got an other at home now ready to kill.
