brush wood, with Sylvia sitting near
him.
“ H e is better,” said Mrs. Vickers, dis­
daining to refer to the scene of the
morning. “ Sit down and have something
to eat, Mr. F rere.” ^
“ A re you better?” asked Frere, ab­
ruptly.
T o bis surprise, the convict answered
quite civilly, “ I shall be strong again in
a day or two, and then I can help you,
sir.”
W ithin a week from the night on
which he had seen the smoke of Frere's
fire, the convict
had
recovered
hia
strength, and had become an important
personage.
H e was skilled in all the
mysteries of the prison sheds. H e knew
how to sustain life on as little food as
possible. H e could fell trees without an
ax, bake bread without an oven, build
a weather proof hut without bricks or
mortar.
From the patient he became
the adviser; and from the adviser, the
commander.
A s the time wore on. and the scanty
stock of provisions decreased, he found
that hia authority grew more and more
powerful. Did a question arise as to the
qualities o f a strange plant, it was Rufus
Dawes who could pronounce upon it.
W ere fish to be caught, it was Rufus
Dawes who caught them.
Did Mrs.
\ lexers complain o f the instability of her
brush wood hut, it was Rufus Dawes
who worked a wicker shield, and, plas­
tering it with clay, produced a wall that
defied the keenest wind. H e made cups
out of pine knots, and plates out o f bark
strips. H e worked harder than any
three men. Nothing daunted him, noth­
ing discouraged him. When Mrs. Vick­
ers fell sick, from anxiety, and inspffl-
cient food, it was Rufus Dawes who
gathered fresh leaves for her conch, who
cheered her by hopeful words, who vol­
untarily gave up half his own allowance
of meat that she might grow the strong­
er on it. The poor woman and her child
called him “ M r.” Dawes.
But the days stole on and no vessel
appeared. Each day they eagerly scan­
ned the watery horizon; each day they

rock that abut out the view o f the har-
hor, but in vain. Mrs. Vickers’ illness
Increased, and the stock of provisions
began to run short.
Dawes talked of
putting himself and Frere on half allow­
ance. It was evident that, unless suc­
cor come in a fe w days, they must
starve.
* One day Sylvia was sitting in the sun
reading the “ English History,” which,
by the accident
of
fright, she had
brought with her on the n igh t. of the
mutiny.
"M r. Frere,” said she, sud­
denly, “ what is an alchemist?'’
" A man who makes gold,” was Frere’s
not very accurate definition.
“ Did the nncieut Britons know it? "
“ No; not so old us that.”
Sylvia suddenly gave a little scream.
The remembrance o f the evening when
she rend about the ancient Britons to
poor Bates came vividly into her mind,
and though she had since re-fead the
passage that had then attracted her at­
tention a hundred times, it had never
before presented itself to her in its full
