"Ban know, Cap'n: here's some thin' that maybe ye kin understand. I dun know what it M." - The Captain broke the seal and drew forth a paper.

Griffith ws first to speak; wnai go yon think ot ltr'I have but one thins to say f or oar selves it means death." Yes. and for myself it means the same.

"Well Mr. Burnett, what must we do to gain time?" said our hero. "I feel like treating this matter with the indignation it deserves, and yet with Ola Gatrell aboard their vessel, thev reallv have our bends tied, so that wa are not able to do Vthine toward defending ourselves . against the ship. What can we do to gain time?" For a moment the deserter bowed his head thoughtfully, and at last said:' "Bow long?" "Three days." "Had I not better parley with them first. ask them if they will consent to release Miss Gatrell?" . Thev might even agree to that, and when they had done so, yoa were a prisoner and the troops disarmed, they could "That is vexawse. wet- if we can narley with them Jrtlay or two it will be bettar j Mr. Burnett thought so too. and oonsmcantly or hero sent back the followwasSw do with Mtsa Ola GatrelL Wttt yoa release her and allow her to come -ashore to her relative-; and tiinnOs anharmadt Simon took the message and thev watched the boat aa it rowed back to the maa-of-war.

The DrotTositioa was sent to tbe British eOeers by the boat. cMAfrcn xx, 7HS SHXXX The Basel lex of the Xenophon and Captain Alton waited with no little an xiety the return of the boat. The Captain feared the British officers woald come to the conclusion that the Americana were trifling with them, and pot an end to the conference by seJldown the harbor and bombarding the fort. Bat after an boar or two, the boat was again seen to fill and start in for the shore. "I think year plan to delay is working sell." said the deserter. "The day has elmoe. bean spent, and ihtre bat been aothina Atom, "

Griffith glanced at the tan and discovered that it had long since passed the meridian. He was so far succeeding well. , The boat pulled steadily in and the Officer sprang ashore. Simon, who had gone down to receive the message, brought it book. With trembling fingers Griffith Alton Seized the document, broke the seal and rsad it aloud to his officers and counselors, who were gathered about him. The answor was brief and to the point. It simply stated that if the commander of Hanoi, wonld send his terms for an armistice it would be considered and reported on. Three days' time was asked in which to consider the matter. During that time tne man-of-war was not to approach a cable's lentjth nearer, nor were the land f orces to lesvo their present entreaohnients. Several times the boat plied between ship and shore before the armiatioe was agreed noon. Then the agreement was that they were to remain as thev were and the armistice

a as to extend twenty-four hours from the comino midnicht. "One thing inpaitionlar I insist upon," wrote Captain Alton in his last response to the English officers' demands; "the Xenophon during this armiatioo must not break ground, slip her cable, or come nearer than she is at nreBflnt."' When be had read this to his officers he dispatched the faithful Simon with it to the Briton who was waiting for the message. -"What adventure do vou exnect to de rive from that order?'' the deserter of the Xanophon asked. "If they see fit to sail down and bombard .us r,hey will do so. . "It may have the effect to hold the cruiser to her present anchorage, and then we shall have the advantage of knowing jast where she is." "It may have some effect in that way. In foot, the British do not seem in a hiiTrv vast now " Mr. Burnett answered. "I think they must be hesitating and un decided in the matter. "Why should they?" "I know not. Thoy can hot as yet have heard anything from the siege of MoHenry and Baltimore." "Aye, the tiring there has oeasec'l?" "Yes." "Then the day has been decided ohe way or the other. Gen. Boss has either taken the oity or been defeated. "There can be no question of that, and I have fancied that I noticed a sort of feverish anxiety on the part of tbe British all the morning. I think they iwe uncertain." Capt. Alton turned about and mturncd to his headquarters. The great anxiety was wearing co him, and he found himself decidedly weak. "Grrff," said Si Oole, "won't ye hav ruthin' to est? I'm blest ef I believe ye've et a bite since early this mo-rain'." "I don't remember myself , Si," be answered. "You may bring me some break fast.

While engaged in supplying hid body with nourishment sufficient to iiustain life, Griffith's mind was busy forming lanB for rescuing Ola Gatrell from the iritish man-of-war. What would be the result of tiudden startling news from Baltimore?" ho asked himself. " Suppose it should be reported that General Boss had been defeated and the British army were in fall retreat, what would be the effect? Wonld it not cause the Xenophon to set sail and leave our coast? Great heavens! And Ola on boi.rd. I would almost ss soon, have news of the defeat of our own forces! But I am selfish. I am thinking at pres ent too much about my own affairs and not enoagh of America." tie started up Xrom the taDle, and with bis brow in a knot of wrinkles, began pacing the apartment.

At this moment Mr. Burnett nut his bead iu at the door and said: Captain Alton, there are some strange movements going on which demand your attention," 'what are thev. Burnett?" oux hero askdd, starting up abruptly. "dome quick; the ship is heaving anchor." "Then it is in violation of the armis tice." Of course, Captain; there is no ttnderstandinff what is meant by it. I think ysu had better oome out and look al; her." when our hero came out, he round the capstan manned and the sailors walking arocmd and around, heaving up the anchor. It is in direct violation of the nrmistice, " he said. "X dont understand what they mean," "Give me tne glass, said Mr. Burnett. Our hero handed the class to him. and he placed it to his eye, gazing off across the water at the vessel. Then he turned toward the shore, sweeping the horizon. "Bee see; I have discovered somethin seise Boat bo!" Where? asked Captain Alton. 'There she goes, pulling aft the vessel. and standing in to leeward. It has just pulled oat from ander the stern of the vessel, and she is heading toward land. It hi is been aboard with some message." A white flag had been kept flying above the national colors on board the radu-of-war and at the fort, indicative ot the armistice, and whan Captain Alton saw the oondact of the British vessel he ordered the white flag above the fort lowered. "They pay no attention to it." he said. as the anchor broke ground and came up ben ath the bow. So; see, she is trimming her sails. "What is her course?" "Evidently she is going to stand in." "And we dare not fire a shot other," said Griffith, with a groan. "Oh, heavens, if Ola was not on board that ship wa could beat ner away, vrnat no you suppose has caused this sadden onaiige in araiirg, sir. nuraewr "There can be but one cause, the way l figure it." said the deserter of the Xeno phon." nnat is tn&tr ' 'The boat that you see pulling away bos just carried some news aboard the man-of-war, doubtless from the singe of Baltimore. Now. if the news waa good news, they would be in no hurry." The sails of the vessel filled and she gradually wore into the harbor. The deserter fixed the glass for a longtime on the man-of-war as she tacked book and forth, laying first one and then another broadside to the shore. At last he said: "Captain Alton, I can stop this!" "How?" "I see the yoang lady. She is in a safe glace in the cabin, and I can send a shell lto the tore part of ths deck which will be a warning not to approach nearer. "Can you do it in perfect safety, without in any way injuring Ola?" "I can. "Than do it, but foi heaven's sake be careful." Tbe deserter of the Xenophon hsd the long gun loaded with a shell. He measured the fuse, weighed the powder, and superintended the loading himself. 11 Are you ready?" asked Griffith, who was restlessly pacing back and forlh on the parapet, "Yes. "Are yoa sore she is oat of danger?" "lam." "May it not be some other woman yoa see?" "There is but one aboard." The deserter ot the Xenophon begun to sight the long gun, and out hero buried his face in his hands, "Fire!" Simon applied the match, and sea and shoja Hhook wjth the explosion, and ths

Captain Alton removed his hands from his faoowhen he heard shouts of joy arise xrom nis irienas, "Where did it strike her?" he asked. Little need to ask. The bow of the vessel, even from where he was, showed the marks of the exploded shell. '' "Look eout; here she comes!" shouted the voioe of Simon. In a moment every man had sprang rrom tne parapet into soxety behind toe ditob.es. Three or four gone belched forth their contents, ana iron nail onme wnistiiug into the earthworks, sending up clouds and showers of dust, sand, and gravel. As soon as the smoke had oleared away, the ship could be seen making signals of peaoe. The white flag was run up at her masthead, but her own colors kept flying. "What does she mean?" asked Captain Alton of the deserter, who stood at his side. "Can she mean to surrender? "No; she still keeps her colors flying." "Then, what does she mean?" "I cannot tell she still seems io want the armiatioe kept " "But she breaks it herself." "They arc lowering a boat see, it is coming sshori," said Mr. Burnett. Ths boat was seen to lower, a dozen oarsmen were at their places, and then an offioer in a for more gaudy uniform than the others was seen to descend and take his place in the boat, "I know him. Captain Isaao Monteith is ooming ashore himself," said Mr. Burnett. "There mast be something important to communicate, as the captain of the ship comes to bring it in person," said our hero. The boat come steadily in, andBarnott, who was standing at our hero's side, said: "Captain Alton, she is coming nearer and nearer to shore, and soon they will call for you. Go down and inform Captain Monteith that you will not change the agreement. Inform him that you will continue to fire upon the ship until she retires. Moke him believe that the .presence of the young lady will have no effect, so long as he violates the armistice." "I understand yoa." "I think it best for me to remain behind." The boat touched the shore, and Captain Monteith, without leaving it, asked for the commander of the post. ' "Are yon Captain Altoa, commander of Mantra?" asked the Briton, as that individual advanced to meet him. "Yes, air. What do yoa want?" Griffith askid. "Why are yoa firing at as. during the period for our armistice?" "Because yoa have violated our agreement. You have left your anchorage and oome down into oar fort." "Bat I bad no intention to besiege you." "Then why did yoa oome down into the harbor?" Captain Montieth seemed not to like to make answer to this. For a moment he hesitated, and then stammered: "We had no intention to bombard yoar fort." s "But you violated your contract Why did yon do it? Yoa had an object. What was it?" "We wanted to get behind that bit of. headland, where we could not be seen far from shore." Inadvertently, perhaps, the Captain hod admitted exaotly his object in ooming to port. He paused in a confused manner, and after a moment'u hesitation, added: "If you will allow us to slay here, we'll not move any farther, and not a shot shall be fired until the termination of the armistice." "I cannot agree to this." "Bat, Captain, yon are unreasonable. 'No; I am not. There was a plain agreement under whioh hostilities were suspended, and we will make no new contract. You must do jast as we agreed, or I shall order fire to be opened on yoar vessel." "Surely you would not, with the young lady on board?" "Yes. I will. Your object shall fail you. Yoa have given as twenty-four hours from midnight to consider and arrange terms of surrender, and I am determined to have the fall time." "Yoa can have the fall time; only allow i as to remain in your harbor." "I will not consent. You bad safe anchorago where you were, and voa must go back." "Capt. Alton, be reasonable," began the Briton, losing his patience. "I will hear no more, Capt. Monteith," said Capt Alton, sharply. "I will give you thirty minutes to get beyond range of our guns; when you have retired to your position I will consider any nrorjosition of surrender yon may submit" Wheeling about, oar hero returned to the fort, although Capt Monteith oalled again and ogam for him to listen to other propositions he had to submit. Having reached bis works he ordered the gunners to reload the long gun, whioh was done. TO BE CONTINinm.l On tbe Spot.

i A Fnxsle, Why grown men and women with matured re flectlvo powers should neglect their small ailments Is really a puzzle. Hosts of otherwise sensibio people thus bewilder conjecture. It is one of tho things whioh, as tho lftto lamented Tjord Dundreary exclaimed, "no fellah can and out." Diseases grow faster than weeds, and, moreover, begot one another. Incipient Indigestion, a toueh of biliousness, slight irregularity In the habit of body what complex and serious bodily disturbance, not local but general, do they beget, if disregarded. Baffle and irivo off tbe foe at tbe first onset with Hostotter'a Stomach Bitters, sovereign among preventives. A constitution Invigorated, a circulation enriched, a brain and stoirach tranqiiilized by this national medicine, becomes well nigh Invulnerable. The Bitters counteract malaria, rheumatism, and kidney complaint.

Sot at Home. A most ingenious person has taken serious objection to tbo conventional use of tbe term "not at home," and the subject of tbo conflict of courtesy and sincerity has occupied the attention ol a conscientious divine, who thinks it sinful to make polite excuses which are ever the whitest of lies. The difficulty was met in the case of a gentleman who called on a lady of fashion and was informed by tbe servant that "Lady A is in; bat sho is not at homo' to anybody to-day." This reminds me of tho story of a yoang fellow who called to see a lady and beard her, as he stood in the hall, direot the servant to say she wns not at home. "Then take my compliments to her," said tho young man, "and please toll her I didn't call," Man of the World.
