ben'il with the slain, and almost before the breath was out of their bodies the others began to rend their dead companions, an occupation which they occasionally varied by a free ft^ht among themselves. “That makes a fourth,” said Queen Mab, as another shark turned over on his back. “They have done very well. I think it is almost time to cry, ‘Hold! enough!’ What say you’” “I am quite of your opinion,” I answered. “Better stop before anybody is hurt.” “Good! I will order the yellow flag to be run up. That is the signal for the combat to cease.” The words were hardly spoken, when one of the hunters anticipated the signal by emerging from the throng and swimming, slowly and painfully, toward the boat. Climbing over the gunwale with tome difficulty, he lay down in the stern. "That is Bertram iiare,” said Mab, anxiously. “I wonder what Is the matter? Are you hurt, Bertram?” “Nothing to speak of,” answered the young fellow, smiling. “That last beggar we killed gave me a crack on the leg just as he was turning over; I rather think it is broken.” “I am very sorry. I was In hopes the day would end without any mishap. However, Doctor Sergeant will soon set you to rights. You will have to keep the house two or three weeks, though.” "That is the worst of it. But we have had a splendid day’s sport, so I must not complain. The fortune of war, you know; and it might have been worse. The last bout we had, poor Tom Ferrers got bitten in two just as I gave the shark that did it the death-stroke.” “What Spartans those fellows are!” I said. “But a broken leg cannot surely be cured in two or three weeks?” "Not quite; but he will he able to hobble about In two or three weeks, and be quite well in five or six.” “In England broken legs take double that time to get well.” “Yes; but in England you eat beef and drink l>eer and spirits.” “And don't you eat beef and drink brer anil spirits?” “As we have no cattle we can have no beef; and in the way of animal food we contine ourselves to tlsh, fowl, and venison, and eat very little even of that—don’t care for it, in fact. While as for beer and spirits, one of my ancestor’s first proceedings when he decided tosettle inthe island was to cast all the rum in the spirit-room of the ‘Santa Anna’ into the sea. When he became protector, he prohibited the production of strong drink in any shape, and the prohibition lias been maintained by Ids ancestors.” “You are all teetotalers, then?” “Teetotalers? What is a teetotaler?” "Don’t you know? Ah, I was forgetting. It is a word of the present century. Teetotalers are people who religiously abstain from strong waters.” “In that case we are teetotalers, for we drink only nature’s own water ” "And athletes,” I added. “Your ancestor was a wise man, Queen Mab. I dare say >%>u are all the better without beef and beer. At any rate you look wonderfully strong and healthy, and Mr. Field tells me you are very long-lived. But you must remember that you have an exceptionally fine climate, and spend much of your time in the open air: that counts for a great deal.” "Yes,” she said, significantly; “thereare worse places to live in than the Fair Island; anil though I should certainly like to see England—” Here she paused, and I seized the opportunity to drop a hint that I should like to see Knglund at no distant date, and to inquire whether I might reckon on her consent to my departure and her assistance in getting away. But she pretended not to hear (though tier ears were ns sharp as her cousin’s), and instead of answering, asked me to dine with her at the Queen’s House. “We are going to have some cock-fight-ing,” she said, “and afterward a dance. Our dances are, of course, very old-fash-ioned; but you will perhaps oblige me by teaching us some of the steps that are now the mode in England.” “< bowed, and answered that I should he only too delighted to oblige her in that or any other way; but I was much put about by her refusal to grant my request (for that was what it amounted to). 1 saw that for some reason or other she was resolved not to let me go; and for the first time 1 began to consider seriously whether it would not he possible to Hud a way of leaving the island without her knowledge, and in spite of her evident desire to detain me. Though as ignorant as ever of our exact whereabouts. I had gathered from the records that wc wore “in the west,” and 1 fell sure that we were no very great distance from some part of the American continent. When I entered my room at Mr. Field’s house, some three hours later, I found lying on my table a three-cornered note, on very rough paper, addressed in a sprawling, school-boy hand to “Mr. Erie.” It containe i these words— Sill:—The Fair Island is not good for vour Health, snd yoqr Pres''nce is not desired.

I hate anonymous letters. You can never tell what to make of them—wtietlier they arc jest or earnest, whether the writer really means what he says, or is merely amusing himself at your expense. The letter i had just received looked like a grim Joke; for who could suppose that it was possible for me to get away in ten days, even though the qi.-ceu and the Council of Nine were as willing to let me go, as they were notoriously unwilling? It was hardly conceivable that I had made an enemy already, and I could think of nobody who had an interest in hastening my departure. \e.-, it must he a yoke, and y c(—, felt that there might be something in it, after all. But if the rascally writerof the letter •bought to frighten me, he was mistaken, j Ills lki. nl should not force mo to leave the i island ii day sooner man suited my conj venieiice, even though I were at full liberty to leave, and the means of leaving were at my disposal. Had I merely consulted my inclinations, and been nine to inform my mother of my
whereabouts and safety, I should have been quite content to make a long stay In the island. Queen Mab and her piebald people Interested me much, and I wanted to see more of them. But the “Diana** was long past due at Montevideo; unless she was soon heard of, the owners and underwriters must needs conclude that she was lost, with all on board, and my mother, who had only me, would be well-nigh heart-broken. It was, moreover, my duty to inform poor Mrs. Peyton, ami the other friends of those who had perished, so soon as might be, of the fate that had befallen them; and I could not forget that the longer I was absent from Liverpool the more difficult I should find it to obtain a situation when I got back. Out of sight is out of mind; and if people began to Hunk me dead, they would forget me altogether. Yet wnat could I do? It seemed ttiat without the queen's help I could do nothing. For aught I knew, the nearest port where it would be possible to obtain a passage for Europe or the West Indies might be handreds of miles away. Another voyage in the “Diana” was out of the question; but if Mab could he persuaded to give me an idea of the latitude and longitude of the island, and lend me the “Sunflower” and her crew, the thing might he done. It would be asking a great deni, since, apart from her own wishes, she could not send her yacht on a distant voyage without running counter to the prejudices of her people and the injunctions of that remarkable ancestor of hers whose will, though lie had been dead a century, seemed to be still their law. Yet it was my only chance, and if I went on as 1 had begun, and continued to please her, I might eventually win her consent to my project. On the other hand, I felt that it would be a mistake to hurry matters, to weary tier by importunity, or appear over-eager to get away. I must wait for a favorable opportunity to proffer my request, and it would be well, if I could, to insure her help by placing her under an obligation. My cue, in short, was patience and politeness. Should I say anything to her—or anybody else—about the anonymous letter? On the whole. I thought not. If it were n hoax, I should only by so doing expose myself to ridicule; while if nn enemy were the writer, I should be putting him on his guard and making him think that I was afraid. Better keep my own counsel and watch and wait. As the note had come through the post (I did not know before that the island t>ossessed a post), I had no clew to the identity of the sender. It was a mystery, and, for the present, must remain a mystery. My next concern was as to how I should attire myself for the queen's ball. The evening-dress of Europe was not the even-ing-dress of Fair Island. The Intter was a mollification of the costume in vogue in tiie time of George II. and Sir Kobert Walpole; and as the islanders had a weakness for bright colors I did not take kindly to the idea of appearing at a festive entertainment in a suit of black, a color which they reserved exclusively for mourning. In this dilemma I consulted Field. “A black coat, and of that peculiar shape, too, would certainly make you sadly conspicuous—I might almost say ridiculous,” he said, when I showed him my swallowtail, “and the queen might think you had mistaken her dance fora funeral. Have you nothing a little less somber—a uniform, for instance?” “I have my uniform as captain in a volunteer ritle corps.” (My poor mother made me bring It. rather against my own wish. Officers in foreign countries always wear their uniforms, site said, and I might find mine useful; so 1 brought it.) “Where is it?” “In one of the boxes which came np from the ‘Diana’ an hour ago.” “Wear it, by all means,” advised my host, when he had seen the uniform. “Nothing could be better: and the queen, who has never seen an English uniform, will take it as a compliment. She takes great interest in everything that concerns the old country, and that red coat will match well with your—chestnut hair." The point being settled, we went to the cock-fight, which took place in a public pit not far from Mr. Field’s house. A number of mains were fought, and many birds killed. At the outset I was rattier disgusted, but after awhile I became as excited ils the rest. I had never seen a main fought before, and 1 understood for the first time why the sport had been so attractive for our ancestors, and its suppression so difficult to enforce. Nobody showed more excitement or followed the fortunes of the various fights with keener enjoyment than Queen Mab. “A fine old English sport!” she observed to me, when the tournament came to an end. “I hope you have enjoyed it.” “It was an English sport once, but now, like bull and bear-baiting, it is obsolete and illegal—forbidden by law.” “Forbidden by law? But why? What can there be wrong in it? Not having bulls and bears, wo can halt neither the one nor the other. But cock-fighting! You surpris.. me l Mr. Erie. What is England coming to?” “That is what a good many people used to ask when the sport was abolished. It was considered that we had no right to make the lower animals destroy each other for our amusement—” “Excuse me, sir. but that is surely a very driveling argument. You kill the lower animals to satisfy vour appetites yet you will not let them fight to make you diversion. Besides, the birds like it; would not you, if you were a game-cock, rather die fighting than have your neck wrung and be nut in i pot?” “Certainly. But there were other objections. It was considered that public cock fighting, besides being cruel, did harm to those who took part in it—blunted their feelings—demoralized them, in fact.” “in that case I must be very miveh demoralized,” said Mab, with Hushing eyes and an angry gesture; "for I have taken part, as you call it, in a hundred cockfiglits, and shall probably take part In hundreds more. So, according to your showing, I must be both demoralized and incorrigible." “Not at all; anything but that,” I returned, eager to repair the fault I had so stupidly committed. "You asked me why cock-fighting was abolished in England, and I was trying to explain why. I was not giving these arguments as my own. Moreover, cock fighting in Fair Island is one thing; cock-fighting in England was quite another thing. It was made a medium for gambling, Mi i U t 0 bad haiid», and became a public nuisance, Asforyou, I am sure that no one who has ever seen Queen Mah could doubt that she was other than ” Here 1 hesitated. “What, sir?"—peremptorily. “A right noble woman.” She smiled; and I liked her none the less for being sensible to a little flattery. “You are coming to my hall, of course?"
“Of course.” “I am afraid you will find our dances rather old-fasldoned; hut you shall tench us some of the new ones. I saw a mention in one of those illustrated papers of a waltz. I think I should like to waltz. Will you show me how''” I bowed, and said 1 should be delighted to teach her anything in my power. The b ill was a great success. The orchestra consisted of a flute, a clarionet, a key-bugle, a Cartb guitar, and a set of Pan’s-pipes. The (bite seemed to tie new, but the clarionet and bugle looked old enough to have belonged to the bandsmen of the "Hecate” or the "Santa Anna.” Yet tte-y prodneed very fair music, and though the men played without notes, they had a great variety of airs, some of which struck me as being singularly wild and beautiful. My uniform mule quite n sensation, and, judging !■; the i ompliments I received, it was much admired. Before I had been many minutes in the room I booked several engagements; for ns Fair Island ladies de 'm it not ununi lenly to ask men (on occasion) to be their partners for life, they naturally see no Impropriety in asking them to take part in a dance. They were all tall, fine women; not a feav were very well-favored, barring the queerness of their complexion, and two or three were us fair as Queen Mab herself. They were lively, too, and wonderfully graceful In their movements, dancing with a zest and energy unknown to tiie languid beauties of E iro{van ball-rooms. Being, moreover, the descendants of the "Hecate’s” officers (t’te descendants of able-bodied and ordinary seaman and warrant-officers not being admitted into society), they were intelligent, and, considering their opportunities, well educated. Most of them had read Shakspeare. Milton, Pope, “Plutarch’s Lives.” “Hoblnsop.(Yusoe,”and "Pamela,” and were acquainted with Hie leading facts ot Europo in history up to about 1740. From that time forward, so far as regards Hie outer world, their minds, like Hie minds of Fair Islanders generally, were a blank: and it is hardly possible for those who have not tried it to realiz ■ the difficulty of keeping up a conversation with people who know nothing of Georg • 111. and Napoleon, Nelson and Wellington, the Reform Bill and Queen Victoria, Hie Indian Mutiny, and me American Civil War, Bismarck and the G. O. M.; who have never seen a daily newspaper, a monthly review, or a i railway; never heard of the United States, Australia, New Zealan l, or the Suez Canal; lighting by gas or printing by steam, and whose knowledge of fiction is limited to “Robinson Crusoe” and “Pamela.” In these circumstances it was perhaps fortunate that I had little to do except answer questions, the ladies whose acquaintance 1 made being insatiably curious. But 1 soon found that if I wanted to be believed I must keep hack a portion of the truth. When, in answer to a question about the size of London. I said that its population was nearly four millions, and that a hundred thousand strangers left and entered it every day, tiie significant smile which went round told me that the statement was regarded as monstrous and incredible. My account of Hie electric telegraph and some other modern scientific and mechanical achievements was received with even greater lucre iullty, especially by Hie men, who, though too polite openly to doubt my word, obviously thought me an unconscionable romancer. Only the queen affected to lielieve me, either because she was naturally more Intelligent than the others, or that she was fresh from Hie perusal of the books and periodicals which we had brought from the “Diana”—or for some other and less obvious reason. The first dance was a Sir Roger do Coveriy, in which 1 had Mab for a partner; then followed a minuet, which, at her pressing instance, I attempted—with poor success, however. There was an immense deal of bowing on the part of the men, and courtesying on Hie part of Hie women, the latter bending so low that more than once disaster seemed Imminent; but they always recovered their perpendicular with remarxable agility and grace. Next came a fandango, doubtless a bequest from Denzil Fane’s Spanish wife. After this the queen asked me to show her how to waltz. She proved an apt pupil—acquired the step in a few minutes; I whistled to the musicians a few bars of a waltz, which they picked np in no time, and Hie next moment we were whirling round the room—to the astonishment of all beholders. They had never seen anything like it before. Ve had a long spin—Mab being in excellent wind—and when I escorted her to her seat, 1 could see by Hie manner of some of the younger men that they envied me my good fortune, and that the favor shown me by the queen was beginning to excite jealousy and might make me enemies. De that as it may, waltzing became the fashion. All wanted to learn Hie step at once, and I had very nearly as many invitations to dance as there were young women in the room. They voted me dancing-master by acclamation, and for Hie remainderof Hie night we did nothing in the woi l i but waltz. “We are infinitely obliged to you,” said Hie queen, as I took my leave early In the morning. “You havegiven us a new pleas-
ure.”
"He has. indeed!” chorused twenty voices. “We are all Infinitely obliged to
him.”
“Waltzing is simply divipel” she continued. "We will have another ball—ve-*. the night after to-morrow. All who are here consider yourselves invited, and perhaps Mr EHe will kindly teach us something else.” With this request I was, of course, only too glad to comply. I taught them the polka and schottische, and we had a try at the lancers, with all of which the queen and her guests were greatly delighted;and Field told me that if 1 went on us 1 had begun, I should soon he the most popular person in Fair Island. I was, moreover, often consulted by Hie queen about the books she was rending. She found in them so many things that were strange to her, so many allusions which she dtd not understand, that slis required almost continual instruction, and i became actually, if not officially, Hie director of her studies and the superintendent of her new education—for that she called it, and that in fact it was. All this augured well for the success of my scheme. I could hardly think that after I had done so much for her she would refuse me the favor I intended to ask. Nevertheless, I hesitated and procrastinated. missing more than one seemingly g'-od opportunity of pu fit Bug my request. Why, I can hardly say; partly, perhaps, because something told me that it was still too soon—that the propitious moment had not yet unived; partly because the Fair Islanders improved on acquaintance, and that the more 1 saw of them and their country Hie less I liked Hie idea of leaving
them.
As for the anonymous letter. I had come to the conclusion that it was either a poor
IS*
joke or a piece of stupid spite, and though I kept the missive in my pocket, it very soon passed out of my mind. CHAPTER XXII.—A FLASH OF LIGHTNING. And so things went on. Fortwoor three weeks there occurred nothing to disturb the even tenor of my life. In the company of Field and Amyas Fane and some others, and once with a party organized by the queen, I visited sevaral estates and saw something of the interior of the Island. All Hie piebald whites and most of the descendants of the former Carib chiefs owned plantations which they cultivated, with the help of slaves; for land was so plentiful and the soil so fertile that very few of the aborigines would labor for hire. So far as I could see, the slaves, though not ill-treated, were very hard wrought, for in the absence of horses they had to do horses’ work. They were, howver, comfortably lodged and well fed. and as, according to a law laid down by Denzil Fane, no bondsman could be sold without his own consent, there were presumably none of those cruel separations of families which are usually among the worst features of the system. Insubordination was, however, severely punished, rebellious slaves being hanged without ceremony, and, as Field one day confided to me, tiie two races were really at bitter enmity. There had been several partial risings repressed, and, as 1 gathered, not without ditficulty. “The Calibans are our greatest trouble,” he said. “They are increasing at such a rate that they will soon be more numerous than ourselves, and if a rising should happen to coincide with an invasion of the Cariberoes, it would be a serious matter." “The Cariberoes?” “The people whom Denzil Fane and his men helped to repulse when they first came to the island. The Calibans are their descendants, and they are very strong and brave, and would make desperate
fighters.”
"What makes you think so?” “Because they are very courageous. We have had experience of their prowess, though not very recently. It was they who taught us how to tight sharks, and they often fight fiercely among themselves. Yes, Hie Cariberoes would make splendid
soldiers.”
“Have you any present reason to fear a
rising?”
“No, I don’t think wo have; still, there is no telling what may happen. But we are well prepared. Our young men are regularly drilled. You shall see a parade of our archer-guard one of these days.” “Archer-guard! Are your soldiers armed only with bows and arrows, then?” “Necessarily. Our store of gunpowder, being very limited, is reserved for the artillery, which consists of half a dozen brass pieces, part of the ‘Santa Anna’s’ armament. That is why 1 inquired whether you had any gunpowder on board the ‘Diana.’ But our ar^iers would make no de-

spicahle foes, even when opposed to men armed with muskets.” Mr. Field spoke of the flint-lock muskets of tl* previous century, and when 1 saw the nrcher-guard and examined their weapons, I was quite of his opinion. None of their bbw.i, when unstrung, was less than six feet in length; and their arrows were even longer than the cloth-yard shafts which won for England the battles of Agincourf ami Crecy, ami did such dire execution among Hie Scots at Flodden Ob id. The Fair Islanders, moreover, w ere splendid marksmen; a good shot could easily hit a bull’s-eye at three hundred and fifty yards, and as easily kill a deer (or a man) at four hundred. Compared witli theirs, the native bow was a very inferior weapon; and I felt sure, as I told Field, that the five hundred Archers of HieGmird would bo more than a match for three times their number of Calibans or Cariberoes. After some further conversation, I ventured to suggest that the danger he apprehended might be avoided by abolishing shivery altogether. If 1 had proposed to alKilisli the island and declare tiie memory of Denzil Fane accursed, he could scarcely have looked more horrified. “Abolish slavery! What on earth put so preposterous an Idea into your head? Slavery is a benefleient institution. Scripture nowhere condemns it; the Jews practiced it; tiie Apostles approved of it; and so far as we are concerned, my dear sir, the remedy would be worse than Hie disease. If we liberated these people, they would of a surety conspire against our commonwealth, ami endeavor to overthrow it, for they are fierce and truculent. Moreover, we should all have to become hewers of wood and drawers of water, because once they were free they would work only for themselves.” This was conclusive, and as I could not have answered Mr. Field without Hie risk of giving serims offense, I allowed the subject to drop. In the meantime, the “Diana’s" cargo was I icing unloaded and brought up to Fairhaven, but rather fitfully and slowly; for the ship contained nn immense quantity of inerchandioe of one sort and another, and the warehouse accomodation at the queen’s disposal was decidedly limited. The bales and cases had to be stowed anywhere and everywhere, and there being no draught animals in the island, tne labor of shifting and carrying the packages about was very great. In these circumstances I suggested to Mab and Hie Council of Nine that it would be better to let Hie remainder of the cargo stay where it
was.
“You have landed the bulk of it.” Isaid; “what there is left can be brought up as you want it, and when you want it. The ship being securely moored, it is quite safe where it Is.” “A happy thought, Mr. Erie,” exclaimed Mai). ‘’Let it be so.
