10 for The Term of His Natural Life By MARCUS CLARKB CHAPTER XVI fContlnuod.) Ah hour after sunrise next morning the frail boat, which wns tho last hope of theso four human beings, drifted with tho outgoing current toward tho mouth of tho "harbor. When first launched sho had como nigh swamping, being over loaded, tnd it wns found necessary to loavo behind a great portion of tho dried meat They made tedious way with their ruiloonrs; n light breeze from tho northwest sprung up with the dawn, and, a white silk overcoat hinting that Its wearer was not wholly freo from sensi tiveness to sun nud heat tho Reverend Mcckln tripped dalutlly to tho postolllco, nud deposited his letter.

"I am tired," lie said, "and shall sleep for a little while." That night tho wind fell, nnd they had to take their oars. Rowing all night, they made but little progress, and Rufus Dawes suggested that they should put In to tho shore, and wait until the br.eero uprung up. But upon getting under tho leo of a long lino of bnsaltlc rocks which rose abruptly out of tho sea, they found tho waves breaking furiously upon n horseshoe rcpf, six Or seven miles In length. There was uothlng for It but to coast again. They coasted for two days, without a Bign of a sail, and on the third day a great wind broke upon them from the southeast and drove them back thirty miles. Tho coracle began to leak, nnd required constant balling. What was almost as bad, the best part of their water had leaked away also. The position of the four poor creatures was now almost desperate. Mrs. Vlck ers, Indeed, seemed completely prostrat ed, and It was evident that, unless somo help came, she could not long survive the continued exposure to tho weather. Tho child was la somwhat better case. Rufus Dawes had wrapped her ln his woolen shirt, and, unknown to Frere, had divided with "her daily his allowance of meat Sho lay In his arms at night, nnd In the day crept by his side for shel ter and protection. As long ns sho was near him she felt safe. They spoke lit tle to each other, but when Rufus Dawes felt the pressure of her tiny hand In his, or sustained the weight of her head upon his shoulder, ho almost forgot the lip trail of the serpent, my dear Mrs, Troth- erlck tho trail of tho serpent " And ho sighed. "Why, you aro going our way," said Mrs. Jcllicoc. "We can walk together." "Delighted! I am going to call on Ma3or Vickers." "And I livo within a stone's throw," returned Mrs. Prothorlck. "What a charming llttlo creature his daughter. A sad thing. Quite a romance If It were not so had, you know. Ills wife, poor Mrs. Vickers 1" "Indeed! What of her?" asked Mcek- In, bestowing a cond6scendhig bow on a passer-by. "Is she an invalid?" "She is dead, poor soul, returned jolly Mrs. Jcllicoe, with a fnt sigh. "You don't mean to say that you haven't heard tho story, Mr. Mcckln?" "My dear leddies, I havo only been In Ilobart Town- a week, and I havo not heard the story." "It's about tho mutiny, you know, the mutiny at Macquarle Harbor. Tho pris oners took tho ship and put Mrs. Vick ers and Sylvia ashore somewhere. Cap tain Frere was with them, too.

On the tenth day after their de parture from Macquarie Harbor they came to the end of their provisions. To ndd to their distress, the child was seiz ed with fever. She was hot and cold by turns, and in the intervals of moaning talked deliriously. Rufus Dawes, hold ing her in his arms, watched the suffer ing he was unable to alleviate, with n savage despair at his heart Was she to die, after all? So another day and night passed, and tho eleventh morning saw the boat yet olive, rolling in the trough of the same deserted sea. The four exiles lay in lier almost without breath. All at once Dawes uttered a cry, and seizing the -sheet put the clumsy craft about "A -Bail! a sail!" he cried. "Do you not see her?" "There, Is no sail," said Frere. "Yon mock us!" Tho boat, no longer following the line of the coast, was running nearly due south, straight into tho great southern ocean. Frere tried to wrest the thong from the hand of the convict, and bring the boat back to her course. "Are you mad," he asked, ln fretful terror, "to run us out to sea?" "Sit down," returned the other, with a menacing gesture, and staring across tho gray water. "I tell you I see n Bail!" The. day had broken, and the dawn, ln one long pale streak of sickly saffron, lay low on the left hand. Between this fitreaJc of saffron-colored light and the bows of the boat gleamed for an Instant n white speck. Frere, utterly confounded, looked, with his heart In his mouth, and again did tho white speck glimmer. . "Sylvia!" cried Rufus Dawes, "Syl via! My darling! You are saved!" She opened her blue eyes nnd looked nt him, but gave no sign of recognition. Delirium had hold of herr and in the hour of safety the child had forgotten her preserver. Rufus Dawes, overcome by this last cruel stroke of fortune, sat down In the stern of the boat, with the child In his arms speechless. Frere thought that the chance he had so long ed for had come. With the mother at the point of death, and the child deliri ous, who could testify to this hated convict's skillfulness? No one but Mr. Maurice Frere, and Mr. Maurice Frere, ns commandant of convicts, could not but give up an "absconder" to justice. The ship a brig, with American col ors flying came within hall of them. Frere could almost distinguish figures on her deck, lie made his way aft to where Dawes was sitting, unconscious, with the child ln his arms, and stirred him roughly with his foot. "Go forward," ho said, in tones of command, "and give the child to me." Rufus Dawes raised his head, and, feeing tho approaching vessel, awoke to tho consciousness of his duty. With a low laugh, full of unutterable bitterness, lie placed the burden ho had borne so tenderly In the arms of tho lieutenant. Tho brig was close upon them. Her canvas loomed large and dusky, shadow ing the sea. Her wet .decks shone In the morning sunlight From her bul warks peered bearded and eager faces, looking with astonishment at this boat and its haggard company, alone on that barren and stormy ocean. Frere, with Sylvia In his arms, waited for her. account. It was positively awful. A 'bolter' that's what we call an escaped prisoner, Mr. Meekln happened to be left behind, and ho found them out, and insisted on sharing the provisions the wretch! Captain Frere was obliged to watch him constantly for fear ho should murder them. Even In the boat he tried to run them out to sea and escape. Ho was one of the worst men In the Harbor, they say. But you should hear Captain Frero tell the story." "And where Is ho now?" asked Mr. Meekin, with interest "Captain Frere?" "No, the prisoner." "Oh, goodness, I don't know at Tort Arthur, I think. I know that he was tried for bolting, nnd would have been hanged but for Captain Frere's exer tions." "Dear, dear! a strange story, indeed," said Mr. Meekin. "And so the young lady doesn't know anything about it?" "Only what she's been told, of course, poor dear. She's engaged to Captain Frere." "Really! To the man who saved her. now charming quite a romance! Her girlish lovo clings to her heroic protec tor. Remarkable and beautiful. Quite the hem! the Ivy and oak, dear led dies.

Clad ln glossy blnck, of tho most fashionable clerical cut with dandy boots, and gloves of lightest lavender major wns out, his duties ns superin tendent of convicts rendering such ab sences necessary; but Miss Vickers was in the garden, and could bo called In nt once. The Reverend Meekin, wiping his heated brow, and pulling down his spotless wristbands, laid himself back on the soft sofa, soothed by the elegant surroundings no less than by tho cool ness of the atmosphere, ne was-disturbed, by the sound of voices In the gar den; and going outsido saw a young girl talking to ono of the servants. She turned, nnd Mr. Meekln, bowing his apologies, becamo conscious that tho young lady was about seventeen years of age, that her eyes were largo and soft, her hair plentiful and bright, and that the hand which held the little book sho had been reading was white and small. "Miss Vickers, I think. My name is Meekln tho Rev. Arthur Meekln." "How do you do, Mr, Meekln?" said Sylvia, putting out ono of her small hands, nnd looking straight at him. "Papa will be In directly." "His daughter more than compensates for his absence, my dear Miss Vickers." "I don't like flattery, Mr. Meekln, so don't use It At least," she added, with I a delicious frankness that seemed born of her very brightness and beauty, "not that sort of flattery. Young girls do llko flattery, of course. Don t you think so?" This rapid attack qulto disconcerted Mr. Meekln, and he could only bow and smile at the self-possessed young lady. "You havo not been hero long, Mr. Meekln," said Sylvia, after a pause. "No, only a week; and I confess I am surprised. A lovely climate, but, as I said just now to Mrs. Jelllcoo, tho trail of the serpent the trail of tho serpent my dear young lady," "If you send all theso wretches here, you must expect tho trail of tho ser pent," said Sylvia, "It isn't the fault of the colony. But don't let us talk about this, Mr. Meeklu," she added, pushing back a stray curl of golden hair. "Papa says that I am not to talk about these things, becauso they ore all done according to tho rules of the service, as he calls It." "An admirable notion of papa's," said Meekln, much relieved as the door opeu ed, and Vlckcrs and Frere entered. "Ah," said Sylvia, with a shudder, "And is he there still?" "I bellevo so," said Frere, with frown. (To ha contlntipit. Worth Iteuilluir. There is no inuex or ennrnctor bo sure ns the voice. Disraeli.
