for The Term ofjjis Natural Life By MARCUS CLARKB CHAPTER, XIV. (Continued.) "I cnnnot giro you up. Thoro Is no "Turn my fnco to tt once morol" he ono but myself and a woman nnd child whispered: nnd as they raised him, he on tho settlement." Rufus Dawes, pause Inclined his car to listen. "It's calm enough here. God bless It," he said; "but I can hear the waves a-breaklng hard upon tho bar) As Frere relieved Mrs. Vickers from the weight of the corpse, Sylvia ran to her mother. "Oh. mamma, mammal she cried, "why did God let him dio when we' wanted him so much?" Before It grow dark, Frere made shift to carry the body to tho shelter of some rocks at a little distance, and, spread' lag the jacket over the face, ho piled stones upon It to keep It stoady. Tho march of events had been so rapid that he scarcely realized that since tho pre vious evening two of the five human crea tures left In this wilderness had escaped Ing In his eating, stared at him In amaze ment. "Tho prisoners havo gono away In the sclioonor. If you chooso to re main free, you can do so as far as I am concerned. I am as helpless as you are. "But how do you coino here?" Frero laughed bitterly. To give ox planatlons to convicts was foreign to his experience, and ho did not relish the task. In this caso, however, there was no help for it, "The prlsonors mu tinied and seltod tho brig." A terrible light broke upon Rufua iMwcs, and he began to understand how ho had again missed his chance. "Who took her?" "That double-dyed villain, John Rex,' from It. As ho did realize It, he began nays Frero, giving vont to his passion. to wonder whose turn It would be next Tho followlns dar nassed gloomily. It was hot and sultry, and a dull haze hung over the mountains. Frere spent tho morning In stooping a grave In tho eand, In which to Inter poor Bates. Practically awake to his own necessities, he removed such portions of clothing from the body as would bo useful to him, but hid them under a stone, not liking to let Mrs. Vickers seo what ho had done. Having completed the grave by inld-day, he placed the corpse therein, and rolled as many stones as possible to tho sides of the mound. In the after noon he cast the fishing line from tho point of a rock he had marked tho day before, but caught nothlug. Passing by the grave, on his return, ho noticed that Mrs. Vickers had placed at tho head of U a rude cross, formed by tying two pieces of stick together. After supper the usual salt meat and damper he tried to talk to Sylvia. "Why won't you be friends with me. missy?" he asked. "I don't llke.you," said Sylvia. "You frighten me. You are not kind. I don't mean that you do cruel things, but you are Oh, I wish papa was here" "Wishing won't bring him," says Frere. "There! That's what I meant Is that kind? 'Wishing won't bring UmV Oh, if It only would!" "1 didn't mean It unkindly," says Frere. "What a strange child you arel" "There aro persons," says Sylvia, who have no, affinity for each other. I read about it In a book papa had, and I suppose that's what It Is. I have no affinity for you. I can't help it, can I?' "Rubbish," Frere returned. "Come here, and I'll tell you a story.' Mrs. Vickers had gone back to her cave, and the two were alone by the fire, near which stood the kettle and the newly made damper. The child, with some show of hesitation, came to him and he caught and placed her on his knee. The moon had not yet risen, and the shadows cast by the flickering fire seemed weird and monstrous. The wick ed wish to frighten this helpless crea ture came to Maurice rere. "There was once," said he, "a castle In an old wood, and In this castle there lived an ogre, with great goggle eyes." "You silly man!" said Sylvia, strug- gung to oe iree. "xou aro trying to frighten me. "And this ogre lived on the bones of little girls. One day a little girl was traveling the wood, and she heard the "Mr. Frere, let mo down!" "She was terribly frightened, and she ran, and rau, and ran, until all of a sudden she saw " A piercing scream burst from his com- ponlon. "Oh! oh! What's that?" she cried, and clung to her persecutor. On the other side of the fire stood the figure of a man. He staggered forward, and then, falling on his knees, stretched out his hands, and hoarsely articulated one word "Food!" It was Rufus Dawes. The sound of a human voice broke the spell of terror that was on the child, and as the glow from the fire fell upon the tattered yellow garments, she guess ed at once the whole story. Not so Mau rice Frere. He saw betore him a new danger, a new mouth to share the scanty provision, and snatching a brand from the fire, he kept the convict at bay. But Rufus Dawes, glaring round with wolfish eyes, caught sight of the damper resting against the iron kettle, and made a clutch at It. Frere dashed the brand In his face. "Stand back!" he cried. "We have no food to spare!" Tho convict uttered a savage cry, and, raising tho Iron gad, plunged forward desperately to attack his new enemy; but, quick as thought, the child gilded past Frere, and snatching the loaf, piar- ed it In the hands or the starving man, with, "Here, poor prisoner, eat!" and then, turning to Frere, she cast upon Jilm a glance so full of horror, Indigna tion and surprise that the man blushed and threw down the brand. As for Rufus Dawes, the sudden ap parition of tho golden-haired girl seemed to have transformed him. Allowing the loaf to slip through his fingers, he gazed, with haggard eyes, at the retreating fig ure of the child, and as It vanished Into tho darkness outside the circle of the firelight, the unhappy man sank his face upon his blackened, horny bauds, and burst Into tears. Rufus Dawes burst Into a laugh so discordant that It made the other shud der. "We'll starve together. Maurlco rore," said he; "for while you'vo a crust, I'll sharo It If I don't get lib erty, at least Til havo revonce " iho sinister nspect of this famished savago sitting with his chin on his rag ged knees, rocking himself to and fro In tho light of the fire, gave Mr. Mail' rlco Frere a new sensation. He felt as might havo felt that African hunter who, returning to his campfire, found a lion there. "Wretch!" said ho. shrink ing from him, "why should you wish to bo revenged on me?" The convict turned upon him with n snarl. "Take care what you sar! I'll have no hard words. Wretch! If I am a wretch who niado mo ono? If I hate you and myself and the world, who made me hate it? I was born free as free as you are. Why should I be sent to herd with beasts, and condemned to this slav ery, worse than death? Tell mo that, aiaurlce Frere tell mo thatl" "I didn't make the laws," says Frere. way do you attack me?" Because you aro what I was. You are free.. You can do as you nlease. You can love, you can work, you can think. I can only hate!" Ho paused as If astonished at himself, and then con tinued, with a low laugh: "Fine words for a convict, eh! But never mind, it's all right, Mr. Frero; we're equal now. and 1 sua n't dio an hour sooner than you, though you are a free mttn." Frere began to think that he was deal ing with another madman. "Die!-There's no need to talk of dying," ho said, as soothingly as it was possible for him to say It "Time enough for that by and by." "There spoke the free man. We con victs have an advantage over you gentle men. You are afraid of death: we nrar for It It is tho best thing that can happen to us Die! They were go ing to hang me once. I wish they had, There was such a depth of agony in this terrible utterance that Maurice Frere was appalled at it. "There, go and sleep, my man," ho said. "You are knocked up. We'll talk in the morning." 'Hold on a bltl" cries Rufus Dawes, with a coarseness of manner altogether foreign to that ho had just assumed, 'Who's with ye?" "The wife and daughter of the com- fandant," replied Frere, half afraid to refuse an answer to a question so fierce ly put 'Poor souls!" said the convict "I nitr them." And then he stretched himself, like a dog, before tho blaze and went to sleep Instantly. When morning dawned I'rere awoke him. Rufus Dawes glanced around him stu pidly, and then remembering what had happened, with a great effort he stac- gered to his feet "I thought they'd got me," he said; "but It's the other way, I see. Come, let's have breakfast, Mr. Frere. I'm hungry." 'You must wait," said Frere. "Do you think there Is no one here but your self?" The convict, stretching out his wast ed arms, looked down upon them with the uncertain gaze of a drunken man. "I am weak now," he said. "You have the best of me;" and then he sunk suddenly down upon the ground, exhausted. "Give me drink!" ho moaned, feebly motlonlnz with his hand. Frere got him water In the pannikin. and having drunk it ho smiled, and lay down to sleep again. Mrs. Vickers and Sylvia coming out while he still .slept, recognized him as the desperado of the settlement "He was the most desperate man we had," said Mrs. Vickers, Identifying herself with her husband. "Oh, what shall wo do?" "He won't do much harm," returned Frere, looking down at tho notorious ruulan with curiosity. "He's as near dead as can- be." 1 brush wood, with Sylvia sitting near him. I "He Is better," said Mrs. Vickers, dis daining to refer to the sceno of tho morning. "Sit down and havo something to eat, Mr. Frere." "Are you bettor?" nsked Frere, ab ruptly. To his surprise, tho convict answered quite civilly, "I shall be strong again In a day or two, nnd then I can help you, sir." Within n wook from tho night on which ho had seen tho smoke of Frere's flro, tho convict had recovered his strongth, and had becomo an Importnnt porsonage. Ho was skilled In all tho mysteries of tho prison sheds. Ho knew how to sustain lifo on na little food as possible. Ho could foil trees without an ax, bake bread without an Oven, build a weathor-proof hut without bricks or mortar. From tho patient he becamo the advisor; and from tho ndviser, tho coinnmndcr. As tho time woro on, nnd tho scanty stock of provisions decreased, ho found that his authority grew moro and moro powerful. Did a question arise as to tho qualities of a strange plant, it was Rufus Dawes who could pronounce upon It Wero fish to bo caught It was Rufus Dawes who caught thoin. Did Mrs. Vickers complain of the Instability of her brush wood hut, it was Rufus Dawes who worked a wlckor shield, and, plas tcrlng it with clay, produced a wall, that defied the keenest wind. Ho made cups out of pine knots, and plates out of bark strips. Ho worked harder than any threo men. Nothing daunted him, noth Ing discouraged him. When Mrs. Vick ers fell sick, from anxiety, and Inspin dent food, It was Rufus Dawes who gathered fresh leaves for her couch, who cheered her by hopeful words, who vol untarily gavo up half his own allowance of meat that she might grow the strong er on it. Tho poor woman and her child called him "Mr." Dawes. But tho days stole on and no vessel appeared. Each day they eagerly scan ned tho watery horizon; each day they longed to behold the bowsprit of the re turning Ladybird glldo past the jutting rock that shut out the view of the har bor, but tnvnln. Mrs. Vickers' illness Increased, and the stock of provisions began to run short. Dawes talked of putting himself and Frero on half allow ance. It was evident that, uuless suc cor camo In a few days, they must starve. Ono day Sylvia was sitting In the sun reading the "Euglish nistory," which by the accident of fright, she had brought with her on the night of tho mutiny. "Mr. Frere," said she, sud denly, "what Is an alchemist?" A man who makes gold, was l rere s not very accurate definition. "Did the ancient Britons know it?' "No: not so old as that." Sylvia suddenly gavo a little scroam. The remembrance of tho evening when she read about the ancient Britons to poor Bates came vividly into her mind, and though she had slnco re-read the passage that had then attracted her at tention a hundred times, It had never before presented itself to her In Its full significance. nurrlcdly turning th well-thumbed leaves, she read aloud tho passage which had provoked remark: "The ancient Britons wero little bet ter than barbarians. They painted their bodies with woad, and, seated in their light coracles of skin stretched upon slender wooden frames, must have pre sented a wild and savage appearance." "A coracle! That's a boat! Can't wo make a coracle, Mr. Dawes?" The convict knitted his brows gloom ily. "Come, Dawes!" cried Frere, forget ting his enmity for an Instant, in the Hash of new hope, "can t you suggest something? Rufus Dawes, thus appealed to as the acknowledged head of tho little society, felt a pleasant thrill of self-satisfaction. "I don't know," ho said; "I must think of it It looks easy, and yet " He paused as something in the water caught his eye. It was a mass of bladdery sea weed that the returning tide was waft ing slowly to the shore. This object, which would havo passed unnoticed at any other time, suggested to Rufus Dawes a new Idea, "les," he added, slowly, with a change of tone, "it may be done, I think I seo my way. How far do you think it is across the bay?" ho asked Frere. "About four miles." The convict sighed. "Too far to swim now, tnougn i migut nave done it once. But this sort of life weakens a man. It must bo done, after all." "What aro you going to do?" asked Frere. 'To kill the goat." (To be continued.) Wmifeil It Hoverwcil.

But the convict did not reply. His moment- die," said she. "That would bo mur der." 'No, no," returned Frero, hastily; "no ono wants him to die. But what can we do?" "I'll nurso him!" cried Sylvia. Frere broke Into ono of his coarse laughs, the first ono that he had Indulg ed In since the mutiny. "You nurse hlral That's a good one!" Tho poor llttlo child, woak and excltablo, felt the contempt In tho tone, nnd burst Into a passion of sobs. "Why do you Insult me, you wicked man? Tho poor fellow's III, and he'll he'll die, like Mr. Bates. Oh, mamma, mamma, let's go away by ourselves." Frero walked away. Ho went Into tho llttlo wood under tho cliff and sat down.
