Tbo third mate, Edward Webster, bud glv en them w much trouble, kilting two of tbclr number, that ho wns reserved for a death by rawc prolonged torture. They were trying to devise something unlquo. When passing an Island one of tlnun wild: "I tell you, nmtes, what we'll da. 1aVk take him ashore and when the tide's out bury him up to bis neck In tho saud. Then when It turns he'll get tho slowest drowning man ever had." There wns u shout of approval to this, and govern! of the men went for ward to drop the anchor while others lowered a boat from tho davits. When all wns ready Webster was put Into the boat nud rowed ashore. The tide had Just passed the flood, and it would bo ! eleven hours before another high wa-' tor. The mutineers dug n bole nt tho ' highest line of foam nud put their cap i tlvo in It, leaving his head five, hlsj nnns pinned close to his sides. Filling ( In the sand, they stamped it dowu, nbout him so that it was impossible; for him to move. Then they took to their boat, guying him as they pulled, away. So long as Webster had them and tho I ship to look at his mind did not wholly rest upou his condltign. Ho watched them till they went aboard, saw them raise the anchor and sail away, keep, lug his mind upon them till the last sails. Abovo the horizon where tho bark had disappeared hung a dark cloud like a sea gull with outstretched wings. Then there .was a faint flash of light "ulng. "There'll be a storm, thought the captive, "and It will shorten this, agony, driving the tide in earlier and higher. May it como quickly." It was C o'clock in the evening when Webster was burled, and till midnight a threo-quarter moon sailed between black, ragged clouds, while occasion ally a flash of lightning added to the terrlblo splendor of tho scene. It was tho ocean tho black, heaving, tum bling ocean Its merciless waves fall ing heavily on the beach with monot onous regularity that was tha .chief orrorrwTle''csptivo watched the re ceding tide, saw it turn and then crawl slowly upon him. No stealthy Jungle beast could be half so terrible. And what was his chief thought for the world which he was about to leave? Alas for humanity, tbo Instinct of the brute creation predominated. With his Bufferings was mingled n hatred for tho men who had caused it At such lutervals as his mind reverted to aught but his situation it fell upon methods of revenge he would delight to Inlllct on his murderers. Slowly tho relentless ocean advanced. Hnd it life It would not luivcbcen so awful. Its unreasoning. Inevitable pur- w-e wns Its greatest horror. lie knew that ho was helpless, but could not re froin from an effort to free himself. Uml ho been able to move even lnftul- tcslmully he might In time loosen the Hand about him. It was his inability to btlr at nil that pinioned him. Soon after midnight tho storm burst As the tldo rolled lu the breukerH In creased in size and strength. Then caino tho dawn of day. By this tlmo tho extreme lino of foam encircled tho captive's neck. And now cumo a ray of hope. Web ster noticed that when tho first wavo to reach him receded It took with It Hand from under his chin and left sand at the back of his neck. Another wave came and took moro from in front leaving more behind. Then ns the seeth ing foam passed over hlin ho held his breuth, regaining It when the Water hud withdrawn. Each receding wuvo piled sand behind and scooped sand In trout Ho bent forward; his nnns wero loosened; he dragged himself from his hole. He went to the crest of a dimo and, throwing himself down, slept When 1io awoke tho tempest had lulled, but tho ocean was 'chaflng moro fiercely than before. Frpm his elevated posl 'tlon ho saw a mllo to his loft a atrand cd ship and kuew from, her rigging that ho was fho Alida.

Tliciv wero ten .nen on tho raft, nud those three were nil that en mo ashore alive. Then tho threo men who wero saved itood before their rvwuer, whom they had intended to barbarously murder.

Thn when I saw you struggling for life I felt something move mo to pull you out That, I suppose, Is tho man In me. At nil events wo'ro all living who should have been dead."

Reginald Atwater wns what 'the glrla cull a catch. Thirty years old, strong and hearty, fnlrly good looking, he possessed S-iOO.OOO in his own right Tlw nearest girl to the prize was Mar ian Wymnu. .Marian and her mother possei-ed Just enough Income to enn Me them to move lu the best MK'lety, to belong to the country club nud to re-!-uru their Invitations by an occasional ifternoon ten. Atwater, during July nud August, liad been flitting about very much to his own liking and very much to the distress of Marian Wyman. who looked upon his freedom as she would upon tint of an rccaix.'d canary, thinking that he might nt any time be sunrvil by some lmecunlous fortune hunter. She bn-nthed more freely when he re turned to his home and spent his tlm with her either on her piazza or on that of the club. This It must be a1 tnltted was because most of those with whom he was Intimate were still in the country. Miss Wyman had not discovered the art of pleasing a man. She made tho fatal mlstako of attempting to make herself pleasing, whereas she should have made tho man pleasing, not to her. but to himself. She overrun her slender Income by buying articles of dress she could not afford; she sought td convince Atwater df her common sense, her prudence, her wit in short all the accomplishments that may ho considered desirable In a wife. At tlila tall end of the butlng season that is, for peoplo of moderate In comes during tho short period prior to Atwate?s departure for his hunting club, Miss Wyman wns very much put but by tho appearance of a country cousin. Miss Lucy Trimble. Tho Wy-j mans were under pecuniary obllga-j tions to Miss Trimble's father, Mrs. Wyman's brother, for a temporary loan which was now of five years' standing, and Invited Lucy td be with them for a fortnight's annual visit in lieu of interest She hnd been Invited for tho last two weeks In July, when no one wns at home, but for some rea son liad deferred her visit till the 1st of Septemlwr.

She sat lu hU presence like the timid little mouwo, she was, her eyes fixed on him In ad j miration nnd wonder. He never made n remark but she fancied it must con tain something of profundity. She did ! not talk to him, but listened with thei deepest Interest to what ho said, her only remarks being sincere expressions , of admiration for his learning, his ver satility. Atwater hnd been looking all his life for some one to appreciate him , us he appreciated himself. Here was a simple country girl who not only hnd ' discovered what others had failed to discover, but was suQiclcutly Ingenu ous not to be able to conccu! her ap preciation for him. "Oh. Mr. Atwater." she said, "you ought to be nshamed of yourself to be content with society and hunting when you would so stiluo lu uny profession! Who knows but you might bo prist dentr Atwater laughed, but he was delight cd. IIo hud often thought of taking t leave his companion. Itenlly they were up politics, but refrained from doing J sighs of repentance. IIo was burdened bo because tho country gentlemen of with tho thought that ho hud yielded America do not run for congress iih to temptation and hud won a heart those of Grout Ilrltaln stand for par ' that It would never do for him to pos Iir.DiOut He was delighted with Miss hcbh.

When soiue time had passed nnd they did not atlpenr Mist Wyman suggested to Mr. Allison that he had better go back and see if they had got on. To this Mr. Allison de murred, stating that ho did not pro pose to interrupt a tetentete. Whon , the train reached the city it wns dls-' covered that the missing onea wero not aboard. Mrs. Wyman proinmM to re ; turn, but there was no train to go on J till morning. , Of course when Mr. Atwater and Lucy Trimble returned they were man and wife.
