He realised that the sight of Ellen Jones, who was probably well known to the officers of tbe gunboat, standing by his side would do more to confirm the impression he de sired to convey, that the Greyhound was still in the possession of her original crew, than any other incident. “ Men,” we are told by competent authority, “ were de ceivers ever,” and Smith waa no excep tion to the rule. C H A P T E R X. During tfaia little conversation the Con federate war steamer, converted from ooe of tbe sound passenger steamers by mounting a heavy gun on the forecastle, had been rapidly overhauling the Grey hound. which, in accordance with her Captain's policy, made no effort to es cape. The blockade-runner undoubtedly had the heels of the gunboat, but It was not Smith’s desire to ran sway. As he had said, to do that would certainly ghre alarm, and as the success of bis under taking depended entirely upon a sur prise, it waa imperatively necessary for him not to awaken any suspicion as to the changed condition o f the Greyhound. Consequently when the gunboat fired a •hot across the bows of tbe blockade-run ner Smith promptly stopped bis ahip. The gunboat rounded to a Short distance from the starboard quarter o f the Greyhound and an officer standing forward of the pilot house, bailed: “ What Ship ia that?” “ The blockade-runner Greyhound from New Providence,” replied Smith calmly. “ What ship Is that?” “ The Confederate gunboat Pamlico. Captaia Coley. W e’ve beta e x p «tin * yen,” continued tbe Confederate. “ Have yon got the gnus for the Ellen aboard?” ” 1 have,' answered Smith mendaciously. They were at present skfely stowed be low in the hold o f the St. Lawrence. However, that didn't matter. “ Good r raid Captain Coley, “ the pri vateer is all ready except mounting the All Hchto | fact that she waa the only da ugh tar of a soldier of position, a widower fot many years— she found a novel experience in being mastered by someone else. The novelty of such things usually w ea n off quits rapidly, and i f tbe endeavor ia talned for any length of thne, a revolt is sure to ensue. In thia instance, however, the whole affair was so recent, so new, that in her secret heart she really en joyed It. Towards aunaet the Greyhound crossed tbe mouth o f the Neuse river and ran for the open tug of Jones’ Inlet, which she • i.ached about half after five in the a f ternoon.

Is that Miss Jones on board of you?” “ It la,” replied Captain Smith, coolly stepping aside so as to bring Mist Ellen into full view. Now that the two ships had met. Miss Ellen regretted, first, that she bad stopped on deck at all, and. second, that she had pledged her word not to betray tbe state of affairs on tbe Greyhound. She loved her lover, but she also loved her father. While ehe was not rampant for the South, she was sufficiently attached to her native State. Foreseeing, so soon as the con versation began, that She would probably be recognised, she had kept behind Cap tain Smith and so partially out o f sight of Captain Coley. “ How unkind o f you !” she said re proachfully to her lover when he Stepped aside, bringing her into full view. “ I had to do it, dearest; I am so sorry," he replied softly, and ah* thrilled at the endearing name and forgave him on the spot. “ I f I had shown tbe least hesita tion, I might have awakened his suspi cion and----- ” “ Good morning. Miss Jones,” cried Cap tain Coley, flourishing his hat, ” 1 hope you are well?” “ Quite well, thank you. Captain.” “ Did you have a pleasant voyage?” “ Rather exciting towards the last.” “ How’s that?” “ Well, we were chased by some Yankee cruisers.” “ Remember your promise!” said Cap tain Smith quickly, in a low tone. “ You need not remind me. I always keep my word," she returned. “ I am glad you escaped from them,” continued Captain Coley; “ your capture would have been a terrible loss indeed.” “ Yes. wouldn’ t It?" said Smith heartily. It was a near thing, though. I f the Greyhound had not been a swift goer we would not be here,” which was true enough, by the way. “ Well, it’s all right so long as you got away,” said Captain Coley lightly. “ I won't detain you. Captain----- ” “ Evers. Captain John Evers, at your service,” said Mr. Smith promptly. His name is Georg«,” put in Miss Ellen maliciously, not loud enough for Captain Coley to hear her, of course. Miss Jones, pray give my remem brances to your father. Tell him we are ecgerly awaking for the privateer to get to sea. 8he’lt make tbe Yankees jump. I'U warrant!” continued the Confederate officer. “ I hope so !" said Miss Ellen fervently. It was the only time she had felt at liberty to express her real opinions freely and without restraint. Good-by,” said Captain Coley, bowing again. “ Go ahead. Captain Evers.” With that the wheel o f the gunboat was put up, she swung around under the stem o f the Greyhound and went off np tbe sound again. Captain Smith was in no hurry to get away. He waited until the Pamlico fairly crossed the stem of his ship, so that her commander could see the word Greyhound printed thereon in large letters and thus receive another evidence of identity, if he needed one. “ It was fortunate for us,” he remarked at last, “ that Captain Evers was a stran ger in these waters. Otherwise this cruise would have ended right here. I ’ m afraid.” “ How did you know that Captain Evers was a stranger here, sir?” asked Midship man Brown, who had drawn near. “ From the fact that he had to have a chart to the inlet, for ooe thing, and be cause be told me so, for another,” an swered Captain Smith, laughing. “ A » for me,” said Mias Ellen, “ I feel like a traitor.” “ I do not see why you should.” said the yonng Captain reassuringly; "It was force ms Jen re, you know.” “ I doot’ understand French.” “ Neither do 1, except a phrase here and there. Force majeure, for instance, means pressure by” — his glance swept forward — “ Master Oantlin. tbe bo’s’n’s mate------” “ I understand.” said the girl qoickly. “ And do you mean to apply it to me all my life?” “Thank you for that question,” exclaim ed Captain Smith joyously; “ no; only until I have won you. Then it will be the other way.” The rest o f the day’s run’ was made without molestation. The sound, the waters of which bad once teemed with small boats, was largely deserted. Sailor- tnen of that vicinity were all afloat either In blockade-runners or in the Confederate naval squadron, which bad Ita headquar ters near the forts st Hatteras Inlet, and tbe place was as lonely as the ocean. Nor was there saything particular to engage the attention of the Captain at present, •o that he and Mias Ellen had tbs happy day to themselves. Captain Smith could be very nice when he chose, and thia time be (hose. He laid aside hia jesting manner and devoted him self with all hia powers to bis fair com panion. They passed idyllic hours to gether.
