He wa not given to useless repining. If he had been, he would have con demned himself severely for his precip Itancv. His rcfleetioiif were interrupted by a rap at the door. He said: "Come in," and Jose (inrdez entered. Captain Willis was of course in bad humor at this moment, and the sight of this man added to the flame. "What the deuce brought you here?" he shouted. "Haven't you learned that you've no business in my cabin till you're asked?" "I was asked, sir," the man replied. "Who asked vou?" "Mr. Hardy, sir. I went up to him a few minutes ago, and told him what I am going to tell you now; and lie said he couldn't leave the, deck, but told me to come right to yon." The manner and tone of the man were ptrfaetljf qttiet, as well as respect ful. The Captain's heat was over. He eyed bis visitor curiously. "I thought you couldn't speak Kn gli.b?" "1 could not, yesterday, liecame I was in Havana. Now we're at sea, the language has come back to me." A faint Intimation of more strange happenings in store agitated the Cap tain's mind. He passed his bunds through his hair, shook his head vigor ously, as if to clear it, and then looked the man straight in the eye. "You've something to tell me," he said, "Say It qukki' "Captain Willis, 1 want to tell you, in the tirst plnce, that you can depend 011 me to stand liy you against the lot of ruffians you have shipped. I'm in earnest about this; I menu it Yet I must tell you that not one of them, nor nil of them, deceived you as I hnve." The Captain answered not a word. A suspicion of the strange truth broke upon his mind ami held him dumb. "I shipped on your vessel hy the inline of Jose (iardcz; thut is not my name, It is Henry Crawford. I said I wns born in Cuba, of Spanish parents, I am in fact an American, a native of New England. I said I MfliU not speak Knglish; it Is iy native tongue thou few Americans can speak flMoiln better. 1 pretended to he all able seaman; all 1 know of seainansiiip is what I picked up by observing sail ors on several voyages as a passenger. I was never aboard till "CM Caiupea dor" in my life. 1 was never at Cadi.. In fact," and the speaker - voice plainly showed his appreciation of the drollery of the idea, "if I had been the Spaniard that 1 claimed to be, I could not have told volt more lies than I did yester day." "Hut what for? What oUject had you in all Ibis inasipicrtullng?" "The truth is. Captain Willis, 1 wauled lo leave Havana iu dialch; in fact, there was the most pressing necessity for it. I knew vou Ot at least, I knew who you weie;l hud seen you mid hea 11I you talk, and I greatly desired to leave iu ioiir vessel.

"The same, at your service," said lleiirv Crawford, w ith a smile. I'AHT I AitAITKIt VIII. A uoou I'NIiaaSTANIUNO. The cahin-table had stood between the two men during this interview. Captain Willis wnlked round it, seized his visitor by the right baud, and with his left 1 lipped him heartily on the shoulder. " Welcome, sir welcome to the hospitality of the Nellie Willis"' be exelaimisl. I am at your service; every thing on Isosrd is at your coni niaud. I admire a brave man, and a braver than you I never saw. 1 feel as though you'd done me a favor bv making me thejueaus uf your escape Perhaps It' a better that yon came In disguise: perhaps you couldn't have fooled those hawk-eyed officers any other way. but you wrung me, air--you do. indeed' when you say I wouldn't have received you had I known who yon were.

The Captain's eyes moistened with the warmth of his enthusiasm. Henry Crawford was greatly moved by it, and trongly returned the grasp of hit hand. 'Now, my lad," aald the Captain, 'when I have run up on deck for a mo ment to see If every thing is going on right with those devils for'ard, PU have a long talk with you here. You'll want to tell me all about yourself, and I surely want to hear It- Talk about not Hunting you along! Why, you're Just the man 1 want to help me man ege my rascally crew that you saw 1110 make so good I beginning on. Sit down there, across the table. I've got n bottle of old Madiera In one of my lockers, and liefore you begin we'll drink to the memory of brave Lopez, the freedom of Cuba and the good health of that young dnrc-devil, Harry Crawford. Tut don't bluah, roan! you deserve it." Crawford was still standing. "Come, sir sit down!" "Captain Willis, you acem to forget my position here. I can't sny I regret the imposition I practiced to leave Ha vana on your vessel; thnt was to save my life, and any one would hare done it under like circuiiistunees. Hut I felt bound to disclose it as soon as it was safe for mo to do so, and also to tell you thut you can rely on me to stand by you 011 this voyage, Just the same as you can rely on the mate and Dick Purvis. Now that I have told you this, 1 am simply a common sailor and a poor enough one, too -on your, bark. I've been a soldier, though, I carried a sword under fietieral Lopez; but I know w hat authority and obedi ence are. My place is forward, air." "Your place Is here in this cabin, just now, and till the end of the voy age. A liddlestick on your scruples, sir! You saw me teach that rabble on deck this morning who was Captain; mid by , sir, I'd have you to know it, tool" Crawford smiled at the Captain's good-natured rudeness, about half of which he muvv was assumed, and no longer hesitated lo sit down. "And hadn't it occurred to you," continued the Captain, as he priced the bottle mid glasses on the table, "that some of those rascals would be likely to stick a knife into you, or throw you overboard? You couldn't make them Indieve very long that you was ever of their kind." 'Heg your pardon, sir but there'i where you're mistaken. I'm a pretty good actor, as vou must have noticed by this time. Let me go back MOO Of the crew.iuid ill twenty -four hours you shall know ju-t what tin y want to do, and when they propose to do It," "No, the risk is too great. Your heart is In the right phice.young fellow, and you're such a man as 1 don't meet once in live years. You VI done qultl enough for the present; the chances M sii'i'ilay were about one iu a million that you'd be alive to-day, and I pro pose to have y ou take care of yourself now. Hen 's your glass; drink hearty, now, thl toast I gave you." "Provided you'll add to it the safety of your good ship and long life to her master." "As Ton say." The friendship of the two being thus pledged, the Captain said: "Wait a few minutes till I look at the deck and alter the course, and then JTOU shall tell me all J oil choose lo about yourself." "I've nothing to conceal; you shall hear the w hole, sir." After the Captain had gone, Henry Crawford sat ipiietly for a few m'o mcnts engaged ill deep thought. His w hole fife had been eventful, remarka bly so; and the experience of the last mouth, the last week, the last two days, were such as bofnll very few men. He rapidly review ed I hem, and then turned to his prc-cut situation. He was young, hope was naturally buoy ant ill his lrea-t, and gentler thoughts soon pocsscd bim. We should like to think him a truthful person, but when he told Captain Willis that he had nothing to conceal, he certainly did not tell the whole truth. From an in-ide pocket of his vest the left side of course he took a small picture-case and opened iL In it was a daguerreo type, such as was produced in those days; the picture of a very sweet and very lovely y oung woman, with dark brow 11 hair and deep blue eyes, cheeks of beautiful pink and white, and a smile which made the heart of the dar ing young patriot beat faster as he re membered it. .lust then he heard the Captain's feet descending the stairs; he pressed his lips to the pictured face and replaced it next bis heart, where it had lain in all his perils. The table w as cjiiite near the half opened door of the cuddy, and Craw ford's chair was still nearer. In hit eagerness to bear and see all that oc curred, the concealed listener bait left the shelter of the curtain and now stood hi hmd this door. Peering around it, his 1 yes were not live feet from Craw ford's baud as he leaned his chair back and held up the picture to gaxe upon it. The cold, sinister eyes ot the spy also saw it - and be recognized it! Un bounded madness tilled Ms evil heart at the ibrkt, Iron that instant the dark schemes against Captain Willis that were working in bis brain began to embrace Henry Crawford also. And the intense desire to hear every thing that was yet to he said in the cabin possessed liuis Hunter. He would not retire to the curtain again, but at the 1 greater risk of discovery, he kept his place behind the BOOT, When the Captain reached the deck again be paused a moment to survey the magnillcent scene around him. The sun was low in the west, and lighted up the vast expanse of water, which was now agitated by a fresh westeUv breeze which swelled the. s ,s and drove the bark rapidly on her course. Far off to the south were the Cuban Mountains, lying blue and dim upon the horizon, the gie.it Pan of Ma tantas off to the southwest looming up near the roast. The mate came aft and toncked hit Ml'TIHOCI MAMH.sl Vllnvs. lint. ThcCic had their dinner from the coppers, air, and I unshackled that pirate down below long enough to let him eat." "Very good, Mr. Hardy. What's going on there forward?" "There being nothing else for them in .In Inst now sir. I set them all to scrubbing the deck. I thought it bet ter to have litem all In sight together as much us nssible. "Quite correct, Mr. Hardy, and very thoughtful of you. What a splendid breeze!" Yes, sir -if it holds, we 11 be 1 .11 on soiiinliiigs in iweniv-ioiir wain. "We will indeed. What's course?" "Northeast, sir." iiUsIm it another point to the the north." "Aye, aye, sir another point to the north." Tell the cook to bring down siqi per for two to the cabin in half an hour. By the way, have you seen Mr. Hunter?''' "Not since we weighed anchor, sir." Where call be be? Not forward?" "No. sir; I've been all through the ship forward, above and below." "Confound the fellow what's the matter with him?" "I really don't know, sir." "Of course you don't. And what do you think of onr Spanish able seaman now. Mr. Hard '" The Captain smiled broadly with the question, and the two then exchanged some comment! over the strange epi sode, which it will be tmneceturj to repi a,. The Captain walked forward, near w here the creiv were at work. Sullen eu -and angry glances were directed lit him as he passed, and one of the negroe- -I k a list behind his back, but all were careful not to be seen nt it. Captain Willis went to the how and looked over. The foam Kew before the cutwater as the Imjw rapidly cleared the deep. He looked back and saw the sails belly ing out with the rising breeze, and heard the pleasant creaking of the spars and cordage. "This promises a good run," he soliloquized, At the head of the ciibin-slairs lie give 11 final direction to the male. "I'll be up ill an hour to relievo you, Mr. Hardy, when you can go be low and gel y our supper, and I'll find a wav to relieve Dick nt the wheel. 1 think we'd better both keep the deck to-night, while things are so uncertain aboard, and the bark is making such speed. We'll nap it, ou and off, as it happens." "Aye, aye, sir." Again In the cabin. Captain Willis pn oilueeil until llaiana cigars, ami tiled himself to hear the guest s story. "i must talk fast," said Crawford, "so I bad better not smoke now. And 1 should have said before that I have learned enough aboard ship to under stand the trick of the wheel pretty well. 1 know you'd like to have help 1 here, for I've -ecu and heard enough to know that there's only two aboard that you can trust lies'nle me.' "Good! Thank you! Your help will be worth every thing to us juit now. I'm afraid we shan't get much sleep for a week; we'll be ill the Hahaina channel to-night, and oil soundings sometime to-UtOtTOW, if this wind holds; and then Purvis will have to be busy with the lead. Hut let that go now; the Irish have a saying that 1 like which is, 'never bid the devil good-morning till y ou meet him.'" PART l.-l llAITKIt IX. no PATatOfl s-ruuv "You just said (Henry Crawford be gan) that it was 11 million to one yes terday that I should lie alive to-day. 1 took 1 desperate chance, most certain ly, and had a wonderful escape; but 1 here have been some things in my education and experience which made it possible for me to succeed iu such an attempt, where hundreds would be sure to fail. For instance, I had the most careful training in athletics; 1 learned to run like a deer and box like a pri.e-lighter. I don't brag; but my muscles are hard as steel. Any thing that quickness and strength could do for me would be certain to be done. Then I traveled some years ago with I theatrical tnUie, and learned the trick of disguises of costume, voice and face. All these things, you will easily see, have helped mo to safety iu the cabin of this bark, instead of putting me iu the garrotr-ehair. I shan't speak of these things again; I mention them at the start, so that they need not be again referred to.

BUbtllteri. But there is something to be told before we get to that. -My dear father liked the climate of Cuba, and be made many visita to the Island. These were usually arranged for niv school-vacations, so that I could go with him. Before I became twenty, 1 had passed altogether as much us two rears there. 1 lecame about as proficient in the Spanish tongue as a unlive, and Havana is quite as familiar toineto-duv as Boston. These facts will explain some other things about my es cape hat seem wonderful to you. "Th standing and correspondence of wv father made hint acquaintances and friends among the best and richest people of the island, and you may im agine that our visits were most delight ful. I became enamored with Cuba its soil, i's climate, its great wealth of vegetation. 1 began to sec w hen I was not more than sixteen years old what I believe now to be true-that it is by nature the most favored corner of the globe. I read the history of the island, and I could not but see how the iron tyranny and grasping avarice of Spain were dwarfing it. Once I spoke to my father on the subject, and he gave me some very good advice. ' ' My son, rend about Cuba, learn all vou ciui about Cuba, and think all you want to - but don't say a woru tut you get back to the United States. There's nothing too cruel or too mean for these Spanish authorities to do; and free speech is 1111 expression that is not in their dictionary.1 I heeded bis advice. "It was on the last of our summer vis its to the low latitudes that I met the man whose heroic death you witnessed vesterday. My father hud known bim for vcars, ami had many commercial dealing! with him; but circumstances had prevented his accepting the offer of his hospitalities at his magnificent tobacco plantation back of Mntanzas. At this time we passed there two of the most delightful weeks of my life. This was in 1847 ; our War with Mexico was then raging. 1 was a youth of twenty one ; my father died the next year. Lope. WBI at this time forty-eight, and one of the most charming of men. He would talk bv the hour of bis military career iu South America and Spain ; IHI I'ATIilOT TBLLUCO HIS BTOBT. btit I could not get him to say any thing of Cuba. He would smile nt the enthusiasm of my talk alxint the island and its great possibilities ; and 1 re member that lie once said : " 'Ah, well, Benor Henry, I fear you won't be so sanguine about poor Culm when you have seen as many years as your father or myself; yet, gracios Dion, who can tell w hat may happen ! 1 believe that Cuba has a great future; but sometime! 1 fear that I may not lire to see it. But you may.' "Time passed, my father died, I was found to be almost penniless, and I went into the counting-house of one of his friends. 1 tilled a place at the desk for more than two years, for which I was perfectly capable; but the confine ment w as disagreeable. I had seen so much of life and the world that I craved change and excitement. As I told you, lwentjto New Orleans Inst spring. 1 promised to tell you every thing; but you'll excuse me if I leave out my falling iu love iu Boston just before 1 left." f - - - - i "I'll excuse nothing of the kind," promptly Interrupted the Captain. "Falling in love is the most natural as well as the most absurd thin youngster can do. If you're making a clean breast of it 1 want the whole. "There'i very little to be told about it. The lady was visiting at the home of my employer. We met and loved. I 1 have her picture and she has mine If fortune is kind to me now thai 1 am going to give up roving and settle down to hard work. I shall marrv her some day. That's all about that. "My journey to New Orleans was un dertaken to look after a promising venture that my kind employer had put me on the track of. At the Saint Charles Hotel I met (ieneral Lope.. He w as delighted to see me, end wo spent the whole morning talking over old times in Cuba. Many question! that I asked him about people 1 had met there he could not answer; and when he saw that 1 thought strange of it, be said, with a laugh: " "The fact is, Senor Henry, I've not been to Bella Cuba lately that is, not to stay. They have confiscated my estate there, and set a price on my head. You surely have read of the unsuccessful Bound Island and Canlc nas expeditious.' " 'Why, certainly.' I said: 'but it never occurred tome that yon were the leader of them.' "'There's 110 Lopez so likely to lie as L Yes, I'm the man.

I am negotiating now for arms, and striving to conceal my intentions from the United States authorities. In July or August I shall land on the soil of Cuba with these patriots. The Island will rise. Spanish oppression will be driven out. Freedom for Cuba will follow perhaps annexation to xbe United State. W- feJ , I . ' ' SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

I he host known illustration of this is tho case of the fakir of Lahore, who was buried for six weeks, at the instance ofliunjeot Singh, aa attested by Sir Claude Wade, the British resident at the court of Loodhiana, la 1837. In this thoroughly authenticated case -which, however, is but one of a clasa of similar facts known to Anglo-ln-dians and travelers-the fakir was first put into a linen bag. the bag was put into a wooden box. fastened with a j, l. .Minieii box. was ae- puuiucn, voo ...

When at the expiration ol six weeks the vault and the box wero successively opened Sir Claude Wade, who with Kunjeet Singh had entered tbo building and taken their places close to the body so as to see every thing says this is what appeared be fore them: "The servant then Dogan pouring warm water over the figure, but as my object was to see if any fraudulent practice! could be detected r neoonsed to Runjeet Singh to tear open the bag and have a perfect view of the body before any means of resus citation were employed. I according ly did so, and may here remark that the bag. when first seen by us, ap peared mildewed, us it hud boon bur ied some time. The legs am. arms of the body wore shriveled and stiff, the face full, the head reclining on tho i,mi,w ilk thnt of a eornse. I then called to the medical gentleman who was attending mo to come down nnd inspect the body, which he did, but could discover no pulsation In the heart, tho temples, or the arm. There was, however, a heat ut the region of the btain, w hich no other part of the body exhibited. "The sorvnnt then recommenced bathing him with hot water, and grad ually relaxing his arms nnd legs from the rigid state in which thoy were con tracted, Kunjet Singh taking bis right and I his left leg, to aid by fric tion in restoring them to their proper action; during which time the servant placed a hot wheaten cake, about an inch thick, on the top of the head, a process which he twice or thrice re newed. He then pulled out of his nos trils and ears the wax and cotton with which they were stopped; and after great exertion opened his mouth by Inserting the point of a knife between his teeth, and while holding his jaws open with his left hand drew the tongue forward with his right, in the course of which the tongue flew back several times to its curved position upward, in which it had originally been, so as to close the gullet. He thou rubbed his eyelids with ghee, or clari fied butter, for some seconds, un til he succeeded in opening them, when the eyes appeared quite motionless and glazed. After the cake had been applied for the third time tc the top of his head his body was vio lently convulsed, the nostrils becams inflated, respiration ensued and tha limbs began to assume a natural full ness, but the pulsation was still faint ly perceptible. The servant then put aome of the ghee on his tongue and made him swallow it. A few minutes afterward the eyeballs became dilated and recovered their natural color, when the fakir, recognizing Kunjeel Singh sitting close to him, articulated in a low, sepulchral tone, scarcely audible: -Do you believe me now?' Runjeet Singh replied in the affirma tive, and invested tho fakir with n pearl necklace and superb pair ol gold bracelets, nnd pieces of muslin and silk, and shawls forming what is called a kbelat, such as is usually con ferred by the Princes of India on per sons of dlatlnotlon.
