Hia wrath had gathered potency, his re sentment had Increased, during his period of detention and repression. He had heard, if he had not seen, and he knew pretty well what had taken place. “ I ’ m sorry.” said Smith politely, “ to hare treated a gentleman o f your age and position with such apparent discourtesy, hut circumstances over which I had no control compelled me to assume a harsh ness foreign to my nature.” “ Look here, young man, did you release me to insult me?” “ You sre right, air,” answered Smith, “ I beg your pardon.

" I see.” Captain Smith turned to Ma jor Jones. “ Where are the keys, sir?” “ I don’t know. They were here.” “ You took them with you when you went out With the man,” said Miaa Ellen from the inner cabin. “ Oh, yes, I remember,“ said the young fumbling in hia pocket.

But, Miss Ellen, do yon go with me hemnes your father turns you off or------” " I go with you becanes I love yon,” said the girl, standing very erect and look ing directly at him. He took her hand with an old-fashion ed gesture which well became him and kissed it. “ Major Jones, when you are ready to leave you are free. I regret more than I can express the loss yon have sustained. M y share of the prise-money will be con siderable. 1 shall be glad to make It over to yon.” “ I wouldn't touch a penny o f your •tooey!” shouted the old man wrathfully. “ Then I shall tee that it goes where I presume your property would eventually have gone, to your daughter.” “ Not a cent of money shall you get from me!“ “That makes no difference to you, does It?“ asked the girl quickly. “ Mias Ellen, this makes me more anx Ions to win you than ever,“ he responded fervently. !■€_ Just then old Bob Gantlin burst uncere- fiy into the cabin, boatswain's nmte,” exclsimad Mias “ He’i after me thia time,” laughed the Captain. / “ Cap's Smith,” said the old sailor in great alarm, “ there's sotse boats coinin’ np the Inlet, sir.

Aa be reached the deck he became aware of a small group o f horsemen who gal loped dp the road_ and halted on the wharf. They dismounted, and one of their number came towards the Ellen. They were the nearest foe men, and they must be attended to Bret. The American »«¡lo r* on the privateer weer armed with cutlasses, runs, and bayonets. In the darkness they had not been able Jo get any powder yet. There were atm fixe shots in Smith’s revolver, however. He ran to the gangway. “ Back I” he cried. “ Stay where you am or I fire!” “This was the party of men Major Jones had dispatched after Smith. The approaching man did not stop, and the others, who had dismounted, started to wards the ship. The revolver cracked and the foremost man ahrieked and .fell, a bul let through his shoulder. “ What’a the meaning o f this?” shouted the second man. “ This ship is in possession o f the Unit ed Staten. I f you do not wish to be shot down, run for your lives.” The men turned and fled instantly, taking with them their wounded com rade. “ The boats, air,” said G aatlln ; “ they’ re close aboard.” Smith ran to the other aide. There he discerned a black bhir on the water. He heard the unmistakable “ cheep” of oars la the rowlock— a man-of-war stroke, he thought. Aa he stared he made out a second, then a third. H is heart sank within him. Was he to (ail, after an? A t least, they should have a fight for It. "Men,” he said, “ w e ll make ’em fight when they come alongside.” Th e statement- was -received with chrexg by the St. Lawrence’s men, led by Gant- lin. The boats were closer now, conceal ment was no longer possible. There was an answering cheer from the water. The men on the thwarts bent to the oars. v “ That’s no rebel yell,” cried Smith ex citedly: “ That’s a man-o'-war stroke an’ a man- o’-war cher,” cried Gantlin. “ Boat ahoy!” shouted Smith, hollowing bis hand. There waa no answer from any o f the boats, now dose aboard. “ W e have captured this privateer!“ roared Smith. They could loss nothing by telling the truth now. “ We’ re from the St. Lawrence. Keep off. Declare youraetve* or I ’ ll fire ! Who are you ?” “ I believe I know that voice,” came fiota the nearest boat. “ Dillingham?” exclaimed Smith eagerly. “ Ay. is it Captain Smith?” “ It la.” “ W e ll!” exclaimed Dillingham, swing ing his boat alongside. “ I always get there too late,” he said disgustedly as he mounted to the deck. “ Not hearing from you. the Commodore got anxious and ventured to send the Wamego through the inlet and across the sound.
