He found heap of iron aad steel, eorn-knives, pruning and reaping boost; waiting the dark shadows of night to b eoaverted into weapons of war. TherJ were a few old swords, re Uca of the :voUtonary struggle, which bad been gathered up, snarpenea, end preprrfor sewiee. fhi braeksmltb was at work upon two eon of old pistols, trying to make them serrt sble.

An' then that's aavils enough tor all of ns. Oh, well hev everything red hot an' a ggta' aa soon as it gits dark." There bad been rigged np three or four mote forges, and Griffith, felt greatly encouraged, especially when Jack Hatchet assured him that he would bare everything ready before daylight. Mrs. Hatchet at this moment came by

the shorn and Captain Alton, feeling that he had neglected the wounded sea captain, stepped out to ask how be was. "He's parly bad, Griff," she answered. "He's a-ravin' a-most all the time, an I don't know that be'U live till momin'. I'm goln' down bow to see the doctor, an' git uLa ro oosne up. "Has be lucid intervals? "Loose intervals r-what d'ye mean, Griff?" "Dees be come to himself at times, aad seem to know thingtif". "Ob, yjs; bat 3 very short time, an he stiffen ao much pain that he can hardly stand it, when be does come to Jumseir. "I will go at once and call upon him," aid the youthful commander of Manoa, Mrs. Eatohet went to the doctor's house and roused that professional gen tleman from a sweet sleep into which be bad fallen, and telling him the condition ot the sea captain, urged him to come at ones, aad atoned oacc to uapiain uatrell's bedside. Griffith found the wonnded man very feeble. He was restless and feverish. His eyes were closed and he paid ao attention to his visitor until he laid his ha id on bis aching forehead, and asked, "io you suffer much, pain, Captain?" The dying sailor opened his eyes, gased a moment at our hero, and said: Griffith, Griffith, my lad, have yon come b ick?" "He's rational now he knows me," said the young omeer to himself. "He most know that hia earthly existence is drawing to a dose, and if he has any more secrets concerning Ola he will sorely reveal them." Speaking aloud, he added: "I have not been far away. Captain. I hope you feel be ter. " "Tea, shipmate, I'm getting bettor; I'll soon be in port, shipmate.? What mean you, Captain?" "It's been a long, tedious voyage, and very tiresome. Griff, but I'm nearin' port, and I'll soon' cast anchor forever in the harbor where storms never come. I'm tired. Griff, oh, so tired! this old stormtossed talk; needs rest, and rest soon will come." ' The doctor came in at this moment, felt bis pahte and gave him a strengthening cordial. Doctor, can he talk a few moments?" the Captain asked, taking the physioian aside. "Yes; 'ft he has anything of importance to say bo bad better say it at once. " 'How long win he live?" "I cannot say. It may be aa hoar, and it may be two or three days yet.. "IsWraHbnal?" "At this moment he is, but in three minntas hia mind may be wandering again. Oapt. Alton went to the dying man's side, and, taking his hand in his, asked: "Is there not something more of Ola's past life yon wish to reveal. Captain?" "Ola Ola on, yea, Ola!" said the pea Captain, opening hia eyes rery wide, white aa unnatural light beamed from them. "It was a rery dark, stormy night. It has come again. Ho, ye, my lads, reef yer fbretop sail or we'll founder! Steady, lads, steady! Oh, thV.i was a heavy, sea, bat she shipped it gal. lantly!" With a sigh, Griffith turned away and left the room. "Don't go far; he m iy come to himself in a few minutes. Captain," said tb.6 doc tor. "If you wish to learn anything of him you had better learn it t once." "I will be within call ' AndCapt. Alton went oat upon the rear porch. CHAPTKH XXH. oa a BscosmoisaAxcK Captain Alton had scarce reached the poroh -whan he discovered two men hurrytng across the bridge which spanned the brook at tne loot or toe mil. A single glance sufficed to tell him who they were; "it ia Simon aid the deserter of the Xenophon," said the young officer to himself, "aad from the manner in which they walk, and from the cnxiety of their faces, there seems to be something of importance on their minds." He -descended the broad steps from the porch aad went down the path to meet "What is it?" the anxious young com mander asked. "Captain Alton," said Mr. Burnett, 'there is another violation of the armis tice." "What?" "The land troops are on the move." "Leaving samp?" "Yes ' "I hen this most be looked into at OBce." Captain Alton gated at the son and found it still an hoar high. This had seemed to him the longest day he had ever known. It seemed a day which would never soma to a close. "Mr. Burnett," he said, turning to the deserter. "I am going to leave yon in command of the fort, and with a small party 1 am going out to recoanoiter. "Is this uke a commander of a post, Captain Alton? Would it not be more in order for you to remain here, and send me ott io reeonsoiter.or Simon, or some one else?" No, not under toe circumstances. You are not acquainted with this country as I am. You know not the forests as I do, and I ean go in safety, and will be able to make a better report than any one else. There is something mysterious going on, and we must know what it is. We are working for victory now." Mr. Burnett soon convinced himself that what Captain Altoa wished was for the beat. They went back to the Tillage, and there Captain Alton selected a dozen men to follow him. They were all well armed with unerring rifles, and eaeh in bis belt had a brace of pistols and a knife. Captain Alton, in addition to his sword, had only his pis tols, bat these were long and very accu-" rate, being almost equat to a rtne m range. Among the dozen men selected were Tommy Buffies, gam Perry and Al Jones. . - Tommy BafBes, the little tailor, had forgives Captain Alton for having won the affections of the girl whom he loved, and bo was much concerned about the abdneiUnv Tommy was not the bravest of the bxave, but bad the pluck to consent, even tc volunteer, to accompany our hero on the expediUon. which was. so fraught with danger. He was a little nervous, it is tree, bat be would not allow any one to notice it. "How soon do you intend to go, Captain?" asked Mr. Burnett, "I will go at once." "Will it not be dangerous to go before the sun is set?" "No; there's m thick forest on the north which will screen us during the reconnoissanoe as well as midnight. There seems to be an effort oa the part of the British to go to the beach, and I intend frustrating this design." "Can you do it with only one doiseu men?" "I can try, and I think I shall succeed, " answered the Captain. All were ready, and with the brave you ng commander at their bead' the Americans ealliod forth. After crossing the earthworks on the north of the village they had to go over a aarrow tract ox cleared land, and plunged into a dense wood with a tangled ondererowth amounting almost to a jangle. "Keep a sharp lookout," cautioned Captain Alton, who took the lend. "There is ao knowing where the British are at present, for beyond a doubt they are moving." Slowly and cautiously, the Ameriouns crept up the hill-side among the thickets ana trees. "Haiti" Captain Alton la a very cautious tone gave the command, and the entire party, now dnphrfsd aa a line of skirmishers. crept mora steadily up the hill-side among snoiraes. The ground was stony, rough and nn even. Great bowlders of rock had, cen turies before, broken from the bluffs above and rolled down the hill, some even reaching the ravine at the bottom. At toe fop of the hill the Americans baited. The weather was very warm, and. slight as the exertion had been, they were reeking with perspiration. They were in a dense forest, where scarcely a breath of air eoaiu reaen tnem. "Griff, where d'ye intend goto?" askad Al Jones,

"I hnrdly know," Griffith answered. "I don't intend stopping until I have ascertained sa:nething of the secret moves of the Britii h," "Won't wi run right into 'cm? asked Tommy Bnf tea, somewhat nervously. "I don't 1 ;now but wo may," Captain Alton answe red, "We came oat hero to nnd something of these strange acts of the British, and it is possible that we may come its eontaet with them before we return." "But they' re hundred to one." "That malcea no difference," growled the stonemison, "We'll make it the most interet tin' period o' their existence efwedo." Tommy Ruffles said nothing. Though it was evinced that he did not relish this most inters ttiug period for tbeir foes, he kept his place with iron resolution, and deterwi ted to dio rather than shrink from his pot t of duty. The little lotnmond of Amerioans were in the thick ast part of the wood, where an object t oula not be seen a dozen paces away. Captain Alton really depended as nraah on h e sense of hearing a upon

siftnc After listc tring n few minutes they be gun to aava ica. uiowiy ana cautiously, like beasts if prey stealing upon some sleeping viitim, the Americans crept thronch the woods, over hill nnd dale. At every "tew rods tbey stopped and listened, trim continued still more ovutionely thr usrh the thiokets and woods. Their com ae was due north, and they were getting between the rigot wing or the untiBD. i.tmy ana tne sea coast. They cimn to a smtill, narrow valley, in the' center of which teas a cleared spot of ground, whe re was a small mound. Upon this mound Griffilh hailed and told his followers it would be better for them to res.' and listen. If the enemy were makini; any more they could doubtless hen th m. "Griffith, what d'ye Ihink them thar avillliouw a m O bVIAA w w r nj asked one o' the villaeers. "I don't 1. now, Ben; but it certainly has the appearance ot concentrating their forces toward the coast, as ii tney had an idoa of going aboard the mau-of---a "Goto' aboard the ship?" "Yes." "What fat?" "Donbtles i to leave the coast." "Whv law blasa ma. Griff, let 'em en. cried he vllager; "ef they're tired o' Manoa, an' want to give it np, don't try to hinder 'ena. "If the prisoner on board the man-of war was snf in Manoa we would have no objeotions io their raising the siege at any moment; but if they should set sail with Miss Ola Gatrell there is no telling when, if ever, she would be released. Besides, her u ost hitter enemy is aboard that man-of- war." "Oh, yes, Oriff; it is that scamp Bridges what I heri about a year ago. She met him some'nri, and he kinder foil in love with 'or, dida't he?" "He pretended that he did, but such an infamous scoundrel as he is incapable of loving any one." Ben. who -iras a very inquisitive fellow. continued: "Didn't ye hev a little fnss with him once, Griff?" "We have nzchanged shots, and within the last few hours crossed swords." "I though! I heerd eomethin' about thet afore, bat I ;juesg I've forgot all that I did hear." "Quiet!" commanded the Captain in an under tone. "Unless my ears deceive me, I hear the tread of many feet." All became quiet as death, and in a few moments the tread of feet became more andible. "Thar's some 'un, Griff; euro's yon live, thar's some on goin' round through them woods." "Bemain here don't move," cautioned Captain Alton. "Unless my ears entirely deceive me, the British army is marching down to the coast." The villagers from Manoa assented, and Captain Alton, acoompanied by Tommy Ruffles only crept over the hill in the direction of the sounds of marching men. CHAPTER XXIII. ' A SIONAT. The quick, nervous ear of Tommy Baffles was painfully strained. His eyes were opened to their widest extent, and he jerked his head from side to side, as if hs expected some British sharpshooter was about to blaze away at him. " "Griffith Captain Alton d'ye see anything?" "No, Tommy: we will be as likely to discover tbam as they us, and more so, for thev do cot suspect our being so near them, whiln we know just where theyj are, uapiairi Alton answereo, in a measure to assure his somewhat timid companion. "B-b-but, G-G-Griff, we are bnt a handful and they a great army." "They have no knowledge of onr numbers, and so long as they are in ignorance of that fact, we are safe. They may think that we havo an army concealed in these woods, and we need not tell them that we do not number a score." "It will soon be pitch-dark."" " Yes; but that will be to our advantage, the Captain said. While it is yet light let as ascertain from whence come those sounds of marching men." The sounds they heard were bat a short distance away, and despite all his efforts' to take matters coolly, Tommy Baffles, nervousness increased. However, he had worked himself ap to that pitch that, had he known it was certain death to take a forward step, be would have kept at the side of his companion, who was advancing fearlessly np the ascent among the tree?. The sun was down, ana a oam-gray twiugnt was stealing over the face of nature, which was considerably intensified by the black branches ot the dense forest. They once mere halted and Captain Alton siid: "Tommy, do rou remember the old road which leads from Belfast around those bluffs and highlands to the beach? -xes, "We must be near it, are we not?" "Yes, I don't think it can be very far away, bat it's gettin' so dark. Griff, we kin hardly see anything.' "We'll find the British on that road Tommy," continued the anxious Captain, who was paying little attention to the lateness of the hoar or the new danger it might engender. "Now hold your breath, Tommy, tip-toe ana roiiow me. . Although Tommy was qnaking like an aspen, and wonld have given everything he possessed at that moment to be safe at home, he set his chattering teeth close together, and followed his leader. Uhey crept forward until the sounds of marching men seemed but a few rods away. Halt!" a voice in the darkness commanded. The command was evidently addressed to the marching column, for it immediately came to a standstill, as did the Americans. It was too dark to see anything, but they were near enough to the column to hear what was said, even in an ordinary conversation, by the officers in command. "Captain Cutler," said a voice in the darkness, "why this holt? Why not march right down to the beach? There may be more demand for haste than we think." "We'd better be a little careful how we plunge down into that darkness to the beach, especially as we go without orders," another voice answered. The Americans now listened w.th the most intense eagerness in hopes that they might get some cf the enemy's plans. "The Yankees are shut up in their holes, and won't daro venture out," the first speaker answered, "and we won't be bothered by them. "There ia no telling; these Yankees are wide awake. It would be just like cm to have every foot of ground between this and the beach guardod. They are sot o' groundhogs, and can barrow in the earth in five minutes. Besides, it is more 'n wa dare do to take the command so far away from the point we were to hold at all hnzards, without orders from the Mejor." "That may be so. The Major ought to have left as some parting orders instead of slinking away like a coward, as be did. "He's aboard?" "Yes." "D'ye know why he left, Captain?" "I've heard there was a woman in the ease some way," "Poor excuse." "Right you are, Cap n. When a man starts out to fight for his king he mast leave women onto uio qiiesuoa,"1 eoho that sentiment." "Griff, Griff," Tommy Baffles, who bad

been lititer.ing very intently, whispered, "they a: talking about Miss Gatrell." "Yes, beyond a doubt," the Captain re. turned in a whisper scarce above his

Breatn. Although Griffith was aaonrad that nothing they had said had been heard, he was anxious to near all the British had to say, and fearing they might be discover ed, cautioned Tommy against talking even in-a wniBper, Daring the momentary disoussion be Detwoeu the Americans they in a measure lost the thread of disoussion between the British, and when they osme to listen to them they were on a different topic. , " When'll the detail start?" "In a few minutes. Lieutenant Wheeler is to report. Ah, here ho comes now." Some one approaching the officers said: "Captain Cutler, I am ready now to receive your final orders." "Very well, Lieutenant, go down this rOad and see if the way is clear," "How far shall I go?" "We want you to go to the beach to the water's edge, and signal the ship to send in a boat for the dispatoh." res, uaptain. "You know what the signal is to be?" "No." "Three rookets." "Have yon the rookets?" "Yos: here they are." "Will not the signal be seen; by the Amerioans?" "What difference will it make? They won't dare to leave tbeir holes' nnd we can f;ivo no other that would bo seen after nightfall. Discharge tbe rockets ono after another, and a boat will, be sent ashore; thon give them the dispatoh." "I would livo much to see that dispatch myself," our hero thought.' Was the information to be conveyed to the shin good or bad. Captain Alton asked himself, again hoping by careful listening to be able to gather the information from the British officers, but they failed to alludo to it. "Lieutenant, how many men. are yau going to tako with ybu? he nefkt heard some one ask. "Sixteen will be sufEciont" , Captain Alton st rted violently. An idea had entered his mind like an electric shock, and ho seized his companion's arm. Tbe idea was convoyed to his companion, and Tommy was almost on the eve of spertkiug out, so snddonly did the brilliant thought strike him, bat he restrained himself. The plan conceived by both iu a second's time was to cat off this detachment of Britons, make them prisoners, and capture the dispatch. It was by no means tn impossible undertaking, for it was three or four miles to the beach, and the British were to stay where they were until this detachment brought back orders for them to more. "Captain Cutler," said the Lieutenant, "why need there be bo muoh delay in this matter? Why not let the three rookets which an to signal the boat from the man-of-war also signal you to come np with your command?" "That would not be in accordance with orders. You must inform the boat when it palls in the condition we are in, onr exact position, the danger that threatens, and send this dispatoh to the. Major; then await his orders." "Very well, Captain; I understand." "Is it not dark enough now? I think there is no danger of your being discovered while crossing the beach." "Yes, sir, it is, or will be by the time we have reached the beaob." Captain Alton thoaght he could almost see the military relate which the Lieutenant gave on his departure. Griffith Alton touched Tommy's arm, and by the motion indicated that they were to retire from the scene. Carefully they began a retrograde movement, retreating slowly and cautiously so as not to break a twig or rustle a leaf. TO BE CONTINUED. I Something to Thltck Ofc An ansious-looking woman stopped into tho rooms of the Young Woman's uumtian Association in a Western town, and asked, in a trembling voice, "Can you tell ine whore May is?" "Whrras May?" asked the secretary. coming jforward aud taking the wom an 8 nara nana in her own. "She's my oldest girl, and she aint come home now for three days. 1 thought mebby she'd been up hero. She knowed you've been good to me. May ain't bnt fifteen, and she's been oat to service now for more than a year, an someway of late, sues seemed different. First, I got her a place in a family, but lately she's been workin' at hotels. I suppose hotels ain't the best place for girls?" The secretary ignored the anxious in flection, and snu-srested. irently. "Yon spoke of her seeming changed?" "xes, she has been different lately. She didn't tell me everything, an if s worried me 'most to death. Bhe's get ting so pretty, too, I can't help see it if I am her mother; I 'most wish she wasn't. Lately she's been fretty 'cause she didn't hare good clothes. 'There's beon a feller, too, hangin' round her. Her pa met 'em one night out walkiu' together, an' he sent the feller off, an brought May home. That made her aw tin mad. "Her pa talked mighty kind to her, bnt he always said no daughter o' his should keep company with a man she didn't know nothin' about. Next day I went over where May was workin' to see hereon kinder pacify her, an' I took along a nice bunch of artificials for her hat; but she wasn't there." The faded flowers on the woman's own hat shook with her suppressed sobs, but she went on. "That was three days ago, an she aint come back yet. X ain't slept none since. I can't sleep, not knowin' vhero May is. She's the oldest, an the delicatest, an an' the wildest an' I a'poae that a why 1 think more o her. The secretary pressed the woman's hand, and said a few words that were meant to be helpful. lea, 1 a pose so. 1 ve always foelioved that. Bnt sometimes He seems so far away, an' 'most as- if He didn't care muoh what becomes ofcus. I s'pose He does though, an' mebby Hell look after May; but I can't sleep none till she comes back. Mebby she'll come up here. If she does, yon tell her, won't you, that her ma is over home a-waitin for her." May has not called at the rooms of the Association, and the secretary has ceased to expect her. Not so the anxious, mother. She i still waiting for her daughter, though heart-siok with long-deferred hope. Perhaps, sometime, she will come back. But .the white lily is such a different creature when once "rude hands have touched her!" How much easier to keep a flower in its first freshness and sweetness, than to restore the stained and crumpled petals. There is a lesson here for those who would ease a little the burden of the world .Youth's Companion, Bob Ineersolt on Clover. A wonderful thing is clover, says Ool. Ingorsoll. It means honey aud cream; that is to say, industry and contentment; that is to say. the happy bees in perfumed fields, and at the cottage gate old Boa, the bountiful, chewiug satisfaction's cud, in that blessed twilight pause that like a benediction falls between all toil and sleep.
