As the whole country was becoming aroused the Valor wts shrewd' enough to know that if th Amerioan held out. fori two or three weeks ha would be forcedpo raise the siege. ' The principal anxiety of the young eommattdac of Manoa was from .tha ocean. The Xenophon was by far the most dangenrai foe, but toe deserter proved, by hia. excellent gunnery, able to either sinlc or dve her -from the harbor. At each, shot the young officer taw splinters fly, cpars out, or tha dock swept. - . "Mr. Burnett," said our hero, taming, to the deserter while the gun was being "reloaded, "would it not be a good idea to

tena a snot into ner.nuii just apout tne water nuer "I nave been thinking of that, and shall trv it." said the deserter. -While the gun wag being loaded a shellburled xrom the snip exploaded above it, and one man was killed and two wounded.

"But, by gravy, they doan't know me," cried Simon, nc may once get oios enough to feel tha weight o' my fist they'll find fhe eont."' The long gun was loaded, amid the ednfusion and excitement of two or three shells exploding above the fort, and several solid shot atrikino- the embankment: One" buried itself in tha earthworks near the feet of Captain Alton and almost oovbred him with land. "Oh, Griff, come down," cried Jack Hatchet, "what 'n the name o' common sense is the use o' gtandin' np that an' gittin' killed?" "Captain, it seems to me that you have no right to needlessly expose yourself to certain death in that way; oome down, said the deserter. "I want to watch the effect of the next shot." "WiU yoa come down after that?" asked the mysterious gunner. "Yea. X promise yoa I will." The heavy gun was sighted and the match applied. The yonng commander inougnt ne conia almost near tne oaii strike the side of the ship. It went through the hull not more than foot above tne water mark. "Good, good, Mr. Burnett; two or three more saeh shots will rwnd her below." ' "Now, stand by your agreement oome down," said the gunner. The young officer. remembeiiuB his promise, climbed down, from the earthworks. For more than hour he had stood there amid the storm of iron bail, bat bad not received a single scratch. He gazed about on tha pale facet and ghastly forms stretched upon the grotind, and witn a sign said: "It cannot be avoided. Drive tihe man-of-war away, and we will have nothing to fear from their land forces." Two or three of the smaller Cimnon of the Americans had been playing on the ship, but with very little resnlt It wat the largo gun alone that could tare them. A second shot at the hnll struck the water apparently about a foot from the vessel, bat evidently did thn ship some harm, for she wat seen to cateen slightly from the shock. Another shot Blruok the hull so near the spot at the . l ist two fired that Captain Monteith wat not a little alarmed .especially when ha wit informed that the ship wat leaking. "What is she doin' naow?" Simon asked, at he observed some ieommoiioii on the deck of the Xenophon. The mysterious sronner sprang noon tha parapet, glass in hand. He had scarcely leveled the-glass on the vessel when he cried: 0-ho! they have manned thtoanstan. an' are gain' to weigh anchor." " Tha-at' b so," shouted Simon, waving hiB hat in the air. Than the load huzzahg which followed even renohod the ears of those pale-faced men lyingonthe earth dyed with their own blood. They raised their eyes, growing glassy in death, and in feeble, gurgling cries joined in the shoots of victory. "She may not intend to retire, said tha gunner. "They are too close and will drop down the bay a fourth of a mile or to, and renew the siege." "Doan't keer ef they do," shouted Simon. "We'll warm 'em up ef they continue this." "Let's warm 'em up now be:toro they get out o' port," suggested the gunner. with a snout untonet, Bimon, si Cola, Sam Ferry, Al Jones, and Tommy Baffles. the little tailor, sprang to the gan and began loading it. "Bring on tho ball, Tommy, " commanded Simon. Tommy was bringing it when, as the man-of-war slowly veered about, a solid shot Bent from one Of her ports utrnck tha top of the earthworks, and ploughed a farrow along beneath Tommy's feet. The little tailor, believing his legs were cat off, sank down bowling for mercy. "Don't toneh me! don't touch me!" ha screamed; "I'll bleed to death etye touch mo; let me alone." Why, ye am t hart, cried J&ek. "Yes, I am; my legs are ent off," Simon nicked un the ball be had dron. ped and threw it into the gun. "Know, git np thar, youngster, and never mind any o' yer foolishness. The hall didnt tech hide or hair o' ye. Git np, won't ye?" - He stooped, seined Tommy by the nape of the neck, and lifted him to hit feet. When the tnilor discovered that he wit badly scared, but not hart, he went down from the parapet feeling a little sheepish. The man-of-war was rounding about, heading for . the ocean. A slight breeze came from the ' land, and her sails began to fill. " "Now. Mr. Burnett, give her a parting tribute, said the young oommnnder. She was almost stem to the fort, whan the mysterious gunner again brought the long torn to Dear upon ner. simon again applied the -match, and. n sheet of flame With a volume or smoke Durst from the cannon. The effect of that shot was worse than any which had yet been fired. IX struck' the taffroil, bursting in that part of the bulwark, passed through the wheel-house, killing one man at the wheel, tore off a splinter from the stemmast, .then from aft to fore raked the deek, killing five mora sailors and badly injuring the Bowsprit. Captain Monteith could be seen through the glasa hurriedly issuing big . orders. The ship hhd, of course, broke ground before the shot struck her. Sails were nnfurled and she stood out of i;be harbor. "That's tho tend o' her," said Jack Hatchet. "I fear yon are mistaken," said the strange gunner. "She wilt not give as np go easy." "What d'ye think she'll doT" "She will only drop down the bay a quarter of a mile further and begin pounding us again," said tho sailor. ' Our hero had not heard from Captain Qatrell for Home time, and there beiug a loll in tha attaok, he decided to go to the bomb-proof lodges prepared- for tha women, children and wounded, and tee him. s The little village bora every evidence 'of tiege.

The upper stories of some of the houses were thickly peppered with muskefi balls. As the -Captain approached the hat near which the wounded lay, Olu came to meet him. Her eyes wars red with weeping, and she had grown paler than he had ever seen her. ' "How is yoar father Ola?" ha asked.

"Hare you probed for it?" 'As fa.: as I dare. I think it can hover be taken out." "How long do you think he will Inst? 1 don't know; it may be several days bven weeks."

At this moment- there oame a heavy boom ont at sea, answered by another shot from the large gnu. A shell exploded above the villace. ' - The young commander started and looked guilty of having negleoted his duty. He glanced at the pale, beautiful Ola. She sprang to hi" side and said: "Must you go? "Yes, Ola; 1 must go. Duty demands that I go to 'defend you, as well as the others who depend on me." She followed him to the door of the bomb-proof dag-out, and there clnng s single moment to him. He clasped her for an Instant in his embrace, but as another "boom" rang ont from the men-of-war, urging him book to soenes of carnage, he pressed his lips to hers and hurried away. The Xenophon had dropped down the bay, as the gunner had supposed she would, and, casting anchor, began to bombard the port. Bat the deserter proved such an excellent gunner that at the sixth shot she again weighed anehor, and stood ont to sea nntil she was too far to .either do or receive any injury. CHAPTER VilT. SPIES XS THB WOBXB. With the withdrawal of the Xenophon came the retiring of the land forces of the British. They did not retreat far, however, for the tiege was by no means raised. About half a mile from the position they had occupied overthe hill, tbey called a halt and proceeded to euoauip. Thev wero too far sow, owinc to the unevenness of the ground, for even artillery to be available.Abont fifty impetuous young American riflemen leaped the parapet and followedthe British, deploying among the trees and harassing them with long-ranged shots, nntil they were drivon back down the hill at the point of the bayonet. wa-ai, uap'n, does this enaiir rtimon asked of Oapt. Alton. "No, by ho means," the yonng com mander answered. "Unless we should have re-enforcements, it is evident that they intend to starve ns into surrender." "Is tha-at so?" asked tho Xankee, while a look of surprise oame over his features. "It looks very much like it." "We'll, Cap'n, I'm hungry even now. I tell ye, it would be muoh better to be shot than starved." The voung commander could not but 8 mile at the cadaverous features of Simon. Starvation with him was the most terri ble punishment imaginable. He would mucn ratner saner torture. "There are plenty provisions on hand yet, Simon," said our hero. "I think wo can hold out for over a woek and not be required to be put on short allowance, but we mast see how badly we have been hurt in this engagement. And the young officer harried away to make a pergonal investigation. He found affairs bad enough. Several had been killed and thure were still a greater number wounded. When they found that the tiege wa j not raised but that the enemy had set down to starve them into a surrender, many became de pressed. i tell ye, ooys, tain't s ay use to try it longer, cos they're going to never stop till they git the yoke on oar necks; now that's certain," said Zeke Gross, with a sigh whioh was solemnity itself. ttnl.1 nn tfalrn TT.tnt.af "Don't go to givin' everybody the bines or IU Toad ye np in that big gun and shoot ye at the British.

Zounds, boy, don't think 'bout yokes think 'bout can nons," "But they are go in to starve ns into submission," sighed Zeke. marvel way, ain't we got lots o' Tittles?" replied the blacksmith. "But suppose they stay till all are gone, Jack!' "Then we'd eat the males, the horses. and each other. We wouldn't surrender. Why, we'd go out an' catch a Britisher aii' make a meat o' him.

Pitts burg and Allegheny City lieoame al most panio-stricKen alter the Johnstown disaster on account of their enforced use of the Allegheny Eiver water. As a consequence there waa a rash for springe, and, as it appears, this y as inviting a greater danger than that sought to be escaped bom. A local paper tells a startling story of the expeilence of the residents of a little suburb located on the hills, and or dinarily a charming place of residence, wheni recently -there were twenty-five oases of typhoid fever iu one street. juver;r iamiiy out two was visited uy the sijourge, and these wore the onlv ones that did sot drink from the sus pected spring. This is about as clear a oasi as has ever been known. Investigation showed that the spring was within reach of contamination from an old a ad decayed -.cistern and also from fool . :surface drainage. The spring,. with its treacherously sparkling water, is a terrible danger to tlio residents of crowded localities anywhere; It can only be eafo when entirely isolated from impure surroundings, and this is only possible in the cleanliest rural regions.
