M hile the danc.ng was in progress Tapia n Fox found an occasion to draw Frenauld to one side, when, without attracting attention, he whispore I: “I say, Frenauld, I want you to have ! a care. ” "I don’t understand,” replied Frenauld, not at all surprised at the mysterious manner of his commander, with which he had become very familiar. “I mean you must not step on Denham's toes.” “On Denham’s toes?” “Yes; some one of these girls must be nearer to him than ail the others.” “His sweetheart, Captain?” “Yes!”

“If you can point her out among all these beauties," said Frenauld, nodding at the many pretty girls now drawn up on one side for a contra dance, “of course I shall take care not to offend the gentleman by showing too much attention to the lady." ‘ It is one of the two, and I have been puzzling my brain and exhausting my ■observation to find out if Miss Hedges or Miss Condit is the favored one.” “Miss Condit is his adopted sister Captain.” “So long as he knows she is not his sister by the blood, their relationship will be an incentive rather than a bar t > love,” said Capt. Fox, shaking his yellow hea I as if still puzzling his brain over the strange question he had proposed to himself. “It really looks to me,” responded Frenauld, "as if that dark-eyed, dashing Miss Hedges were the favored one. I I 11 swear to it that she has bestowed a score of kindly glances on him to-night, ' to one on any of the rest of us.” The unexpected appearance of the ! two young ladies under discussion put an end to the conversation. « Ah, Capt. Fox, said Lea Hedges, *you have grown weary already of the I dance, though it lacks an hour of mid- j night.” “And Mr. Frenauld quite forgot that ! I was to have been his partner in this I -set,” laughed pretty Ellen Condit, blush- ! lug in the most becoming way at what she imagined to be her own audacity in addressing the swarthy young officer in this way. “I was about to seek you,” replied Frenauld quickly. “I should never lor- i . give myse.f if I let this opportunity pass. ” I I He gave her his arm, bowed to the f Captain and Lea Hedges, and led Ellen ' to the center of the room, where the r xwnvln wqvq going thruu;h tho )

Alcne with Lea Hedges, and Captain Fox came back to the salutation with which she had first accosted him. “ A < a:y of the dance, Miss Hedges," he said, with a quick, boi i glance of admiration that brought a height ned color to her glowing cheeks: "it is not that, but I ant so bewildered by my surroundings, so hap^y to be an ong the la lies and gentlemen of mv own country ; gain. tint I forgot what 1 should d > to give expression to my delight. We sailors are apt to err on points of etiquette, and the ladies, in sympathetic admiration of our advantages, always look over our ships and see the hearts behind them.” M e are anxious that our guests should enjoy themselves, as these our •older friends are doing,” said Lea, waving a graceful arm in the direction of the officers of the Sea Hawk, who were no v drawn up in a row, as if on parade, ! ■“but at the same time we are most anxious that they shall all enjoy them- i selves in the way that to them is most | ■pleasant. “Ah, you have there given in one sen- J tenee they key to all true hospital! y, t ough I aid not need your kind words to be assured that it was to be found here. And now, to carry out my wishes, what say you to a promenade, or is j it too cool?” Capt. Fox turned to the window, by i which they were standing, and drawing i dhe heavy curtains further back so that i ■both could look out, he pointed to the bay now gleaming like a silver mirror an the moonlight and continued: “The land is beautiful, but it is most beautiful where the water flashes in i s front like an eye, or reflects its outlines as if it held them in its heart.”

“I doubt not. Captan,” replied Lea, archly, “but you write sonnets at times ■or n.a’ch rhymes in your idle moments I •*th\ scarfet scarf Thrown t ”I walked out thio g laden with TVS ot'Vvvlo and »"<’»• XT T tS like the drowsy sound o- sea shells. »U forbade Thev walked to the seashore, a here L<a sat down on the g? nWale stranded boat, against which the cap ^“^l, “since my earliest memory I have tried to fancy wha' Sen is like, but without sumwss hereafter I shall have no diffleu ty ,

n y°ur first visit to America, Captain? she asked. Ihe question was evidently unexpe‘ted, for the Captain coughed slightly ! and hesitated; he thought she would ; make some comment on the words < f praise, which he had delivered for effect rather than with any idea of their truth,’ foi, in this respect, he was like alloth ?r men ot the world. . I have been on the American coast be.ore, particularly along the South American coast, and through the West Indies, but this is my first visit to the province of New York.” “Then you have no! seen New York City?” No; but I hope to do so unless ordered to the West Indies to lock after the pirates.” An undertaking that is as dangerous as it is thankless,” said Lea. Then, with a s ; gh, “the Sea Hawk has just returned from duty, though many were fearing that she would never come back. ” “She has in Denham a brave captain, and the crew are, without doubt, worthy of him," said Capt. Fox. “True; but the Adventure Galley was ; a fine ship, and Capt. William Kidd, who took command of her in Bermuda, was said to be a very brave and competent man—he came from England for that purpose, yet Capt. Kidd and the Galley

have not been heard from since.” He is supposed to have been wrecked or des royed by the pirates,” said Capt. | box, as if he were uttering an opinion about uhleh there could be no disagreej me nt. “Yes, that is the general belief; at least it was until the last few months." "And it is changed?" “It is changing. ’ , “From what cause?” “They say, that is, those that should j know, that Captain Kidd is still alive j and his vessel still afloat.” “Then he must be unable to find a I port, like the mythical Flying Dutch- | mai, ’ laughed Captain Fox. "Bu* j ' how do the people account for his ab- I sence?” 1 "They say that instead of fighting the pirates, in the Span sh Mam. h^ । joined them, and is now their chief, ” i said Lea. “Impossible!” “I simply told the story as 'twas told ;to me. 'lhe news came iron) New York j only last week that th > Adventure Cal- ' ley as recently seen off the coast of i the Carolinas. But,” she adde 1. with a | slight laugh an I a changed manner, ■ "what should we care if there be <ne pirate the more or less. They will not : | trouble us I am very certain. | “And if they should do so, Miss I , Hedges, may 1 be there to see. He would be a very rash pirate, indeed | that dared to enter this bay while the. Sea Hawk and Wanderer swing at their ' anchors, with shotted guns and strong I arms to man them. The true sailor never courts a fight that can be avoide I, but 1 cannot imagine anything that would inspire us to action like the de- | lense of these shores, and their hospitable—l will not add charming, inhabitants. ” “Thanks Shall we go ba k? the music has ceased," said Lea, rising an I

invuig u y aim. i “As you say, though it seems to mo that I could never weary of the plan. <>r ■ i the com. unionship." , " 1 he m veil v would s, ■■ m wear o'!' " I Lea started, for a figure ros from the | siiadow of the boat on which thev had i been sitting and hobbled d reetiy in 1 front of them, and c me to a stand? “ Eah!" exclaimed the C iptain. i elens. Ing his arm, a.id stepping t > the front, with his hand < n the hilt of his -wmd. "whom h ,ve we here It is only old Dirah," said Lan. wh', now that the intru ier .atm' into th" moonlight, r cognized an old neg o woman, who for some years had bee i liv.ng among the M. ntauk Indians, whose lands were n -ar by. She was old, crippled ami repulsive; an 1 not even the Ind ans, tho igh hetcoming was comparatively recent, could or would explaT who she was. or where ' she lived 1 efore they adopted her. | The -uperstit ious red men ( ared for her, ami held her in awe, if not in veni I ration. She spoke English imperfectly, and claimed to have teen a voudoj I priestess in Africa, from which land s e ' was carried to the New World as as a e She still practiced the voudoo incan- : tations and repulsive mysteries, which gave her unbounded power over the ,-im-ple-minded Indian-. | The crone saw the motion of Captain : Fox’s hand to his sword, for she raised I h *r staff to warn him rather than to defend herself, while, in a voce that I sounded like an old man’s, she called out: “Is de dead come to life, en whar’s all ez hot gone en died at Lermooda?” “She is insane,” whispered Lea, again taking the captain’s arm. As they turned towards the house, the

old woman stepped nimbly out of their I a'h, but one tremblin' hand shaded from the moon the bleared eyos wbi.b .

“Proving thst sailors soon weary of the land.” No, Miss Condit,” said Captain Fox, with a gallant bow, “but the night w’as I cautilul and I could not resist. And then we were repaid with quite a little adventure with a certain old Dinah, who practices the art of prophecy, or soim thing of the kind, for the neighloring Indians." “En I kin tell the futch-ah foh de bukra. Ho, ho! all wait en see. in de good tune, wat all tings 1 kin do.” I This was croaked out by Dinah, as she ho’d led past,with her grinning face still turned on the group. CHAPTER VI. CAPTAIN FOX HETI BNS THE COMPLIMENT. ( apt a n lex and Mr. Frenauld made a most favorable impression on the generous, hospitable islanders. Even the reticence of the officers was looked on as an evidence o: that modesty which is popularly supposed to accompany great bravery and dec tied merit. "Most gallant and accomplished gentlemen," said Dr. Hedges, when, a few days after the arrival of the ships, ho was discussing th; merits of the strangers: "1 tell you again, neither the mother land nor the colonies need to teai, so long as their shores are defended by sailors who are at once patriots and gentlen en." Squire Condit, before replying, tapped his silver snuff-boi, touched a spring, and the lid few open, and then handing it to the doctor, who took a pinch and bowed as he raise 1 it to his nose—just as men bow when about to drink wine—-

he took a pinch himself. This done, he imitated the doctor by taking out a io! handkerchief, that h oke 1 like a goodsized Hag, and they inclined their heads toward eaeti -^tho. 1 and blew bugle Ida Us of great vigor and resonance into I the hankerehlefs “I agree with you. my dear Doctor,” sail tie squire, repining the handker- ' chief in one of the si le-poekets of his velveteen coat. “The officers of tho Wand rer are gentlemen tried and true, of that there cannot be the slightest doubt: an 1 I am right glad to welcome ; tin m here. But I minnot see‘hat in any | of the essential re uirements of gentll- : I ity or seamanship, or ev. n in those ex- | terior qu ilifh-athms that rejoi e ti e I eyes of won en, an 1 which men are pleased to behold, '.hat they suiqassour i oaii p 'ople, the o Heers an 1 crew of tho । Sea Hawk.” “Woll said, Squ re Condit." said tho I do 'tor. taking out his snuffbox and preI seating it in turn. “1 crimps one who Iris a brother an 1 a nephew amon g the o - fleers of the S a Hawk is not competent < to judge impart ally between the merits ’ of these sailors; but I would not tear, j were they lo ts oppo ed to e wh other—which may h 'aven forbi I—at to the rej suit of the contest." “Nor would I,” replied the squire, helping himself to a pinch of snuff from the doctor s box and preparing for another blast by taking out his handkerchief. "1 aph Denham is as dear tome as if lie were fesh o' my fieah and lone of my । one. It is rot for me to say wh it the Condits are or have been, and, I pray, ever wdl be; but, though I know not hal ph* sunt ’lent -,!a ■- ;i e t. y ever are known thn' they will prove to be quite n< geo I as mine. >’ryou.f», or tiny one clse's in tho prov nees.

The writer has ju-t come from such a reperusal with mind newly stimulated and heart deeply moved. Sit down, brother or sister teacher, and rea I it through. Take it in'o the class and assign to separate members, for brief outline or statement of the progress of thought and action, all the thirteen chapters, one by one. Make the scenes vlv.d, make the story live a-ain. Only thus do we get the best lessons of sacred writ. “Resist the devil and he will floe.” There is no other way.

OVER THIRTY INJURED. Passenger Train Ditched by a Broken Rail —The Wreck Hurns Up. The Big Four passenger train which left St. Louis at 7:55 Tuesday night was wiecked by a broken rail cne mile east of Pana, 111., at 11:10 the same night. Baggageman Charles Ressler, of Indianapolis, was killed and thirty-one passengers were injured. The train consisted of eight coaches, including baggage and mail car. The accident occurred on a small trestle which spans a creek. The engine passed over in safety, but all the rest of the train left the rails and immediately < aught fire. Ine mail < ar, which was* next to the engine, was the first to ignite, and split completely in two. 'The express car and the two following day coaches w ere thrown from the trestle at least thirty leet. The remainder of the cars were saved by an embankment on the opposite side of the ditch otherwise the de ith roll would nave been horrible. The passengers in 7 ! 1 2 da , y coaches wer e rescued with great uiflii ulty by the trainmen and uninjured passengers. All the Icd clothing in the sleeper was utilized for the comfort and 1 of tllO wounded women and children.
