I closed my eyes in anguish, and let my body relax; perhaps I dozed, or perhaps I fulnted but, suddenly, what was that that aroused me, summoned mo back to life? It seemed a short, sharp sound of firing I I opened my eyes and looked out to sea, and then I gave a great cry: "Calypso 1 Calypso I" I cried. "Calyp so I" and It seemed ns though a glunt's strength wcro In me that I could rend tho rocks apart. I made a mighty effort, and, whether or not my relax ing had made n readjustment of my position, I found that for some reason I could movo forward again, and, with one despernto wriggle, I had my head through the narrow space. To wrench my shoulders and legs after It was comparatively easy, and, in a mo ment, I wns safe on tho outer side, where, as I had surmised, tho aperture did widen out again. Within a few moments, I was on tho edge of the sen, had dived, and was swimming madly toward But let me tell what I had seen, ns I hung there, so helpless, in that crev ice in the rocks. CHAPTER IX. Action. I had seen, closo In shore, a' two masted schooner under full sail sweep ing by, as If pursued, nnd three ne groes kneeling on deck, with leveled rifles. As I looked, a shot rang out, from my right, wiicre I could not see, nnd ono of tho negroes rolled over. Another shot, and the negro next him fell sprawling with his arms over the bulwark. At that moment, two other negroes emerged from tho cabin hntchway, half dragging nnd half carrying a woman. She was struggling bravely, but In vain. The negroes evidently acting under orders of a whlto man, who stood over them with a revolver wero dragging her toward tho main must. Iler heart was bare, her hair In disorder, nnJ ono shoaldcr from which tier dress had been torn In tho strugglo, gleamed white in tho nun light. Yet hor eyes wero flashing aplcndld scornful llrcs nt her captors; nnd her laughter of dcflanco camo ringing to mo over tho sea. It was men that I hud cried "Calypso 1" and wrenched myself free. Tho next moment there enmo dash ing In sight a sloop also under full s'nnvas, und nt Its bow, a liugo white man, with n leveled rifle that still smoked. At n glance, I knew him for Charllo Webster, lie had been about to flro again, but, as tho man dragged Calypso for'ard, ho paused, calm as a rock, waiting, with his keen sports man's eyes on Toblus for, of course, It was he. "You coward I" I heard his voice roar' across tho rapidly diminishing tllstnnco between tho two bonts, for Iho sloop was running with power as well as sails. Jtcuuwhltc, tho men had iashed Calypso to tho mast, and oven In my ngony my eyes recorded tho glory of her beauty as she stood proudly there tho great sails spread aboyo her, and tho sen for hor background. "Now, do your worst," cried Tobias, his evil face whlto as wax in the sun light. "Flro, flro don't bo afraid," rang out Calypso's voice, llko singing gold. At the same Instant, as she called To bias bprang toward her with raised re volver. "Another word, nnd I Ore," shouted the voice of the brute. Rut the rifle that never missed Its murk spoke again. Tobias' arm fell shattered, and ho staggered away screaming. Still once more, Chnrlio Wcb3tor's gun spoke, nnd tho stagger ing flguro fell with a crash on the deck. "Now, boys, ready," I heard Chnrllo's voice roar out again, us tho sloop tore alongsldo tho schooner where tho rest of tho negro crow with raised arms had fallen on their knees, crying .for mercy. All this I saw from tho wntcr, as I swam wildly townrd tho two boats, which now hnd closed on ench othur, n mass of thundering canvas, nnd screaming and cursing men and Calypso there, like a beautiful stntuo, htlll lashed to tho mast, a proud smile on her lovely lips. Another moment, nnd Chnrlio had sprung aboard, nnd, seizing a knlfo from ono of the screaming negroes, ho cut her free. Ills deep ctlm voice camo to mo ovor tho wntcr. "That'll what I call courage," ho snld. ' "l could never have done it." Tho "king" had been right. He knew h!u daughter. ly this I wns nenrlng tho boats. though as, yet no ono had seen me. They were all too busy with tho con 'Uhion on deck, where four men lay ' ml, nnd three others still kept up v'lr gibberish of fear. EIGHT Codj riehl by DoabJadaj. Pact Companj. I saw Calypso nnd'Chnrllo Webster stand a moment looking down at the figure of Tobias, prostrato at their feet "I nm sorry I hnd to kill him," I heard Charlie's deep growl. "I meant to keep him for the hangman." But suddenly I saw him start for ward nnd stamp heavily on something. "No, you don't," I heard him roar and I learned afterward that Tobias, though mortally wounded, was-not yet dend, nnd thnt, ns tho two had stood looking down on him, they had seen his hand furtively moving townrd the fallen revolver that lay n fqw Inches from him on the deck. Just ns ho had grasped It, Charlie's heavy boot had come down on his wrist. iBut Tobias was still game. "Not nllve, you English brute 1" ho wns heard to groan out, nnd, snatch ing free his wrist too swiftly to be prevented, he had gathered up nil his remaining strength, and hurled him self ovor the side Into tho sen. I was but n dozen yards nwny from him, ns he fell ; nnd, ns ho roso again, it was for his dying eyes to fix with n glare upon inc. They dilated with terror, as though he had seen n ghost. Then ho gave ono strange scream, and fell back Into tho sea, and wo saw him no more. It will be easier for the reader to imagine, than for me to dcsorlbc, the look on the faces of Calypso and Charllo Webster when they saw me appear at almost the snmo spot where poor Tobias had Just gone bubbling "Now, Do Your Worstl" Cried Toblat. down. Words I had none, for I was nt the end of my strength, and I broke down and sobbed like a child. "Thank God you nre safe my treas ure, my treasurer' was all I could say, after they hnd lifted me aboard, and I Iny face down on tho dock, at her feet. Swiftly sho knelt by my side, nnd enrcssed my shoulder with her dear hand. ' All of which particularly my refer ence to "my treasure" must havo hceu much to tho bowllderment of the good slmplc-hcnrted Charlie, towering, innocent-eyed, above us. I bcllovo I stayed a itttlo longer at her feet than I really had need to, for tho comfort of her being so near nnd kind; but, presently, wo wcro nil aroused by a volco from tho cliffs above. It wns tho "king," with his bodygunrdt Erebus' and the crow of the Flamingo no Samson, alas I Tho sound of tho firing hnd reached them In tho woods, and they had come hurrying to discover its cause. So wo deferred asking -our ques tions, nnd telling our several stories, till wo were pulled ashore, i As Calypso was folded in her fa ther's arms, ho turned to mo: "Didn't I tell you that I knew my daughter?" ho snld. "And I told you something too, O king," I replied my eyes daring nt Inst to rest on Cnlypso with the love und prldo of my heart. "And where on earth have you been, young inn u?" ho asked, laughing. "Did Tobias kidnap you too?" It wns very hard, ns you will have seen, to astonish the "king." Rut, though it was hard to astonish nud almost impossible to alarm him, his senso of wonder wns qulto another matter, and tho boyish delight with which ho listened to our sovcral b tori oa would hnvo made It worth while to undergo tenfold the perils we hnd faced. Our stories, said the "king," wcro qulto In tho manner of Tho Arabian Nights," dovetailing one into tho other. "And now," ho added, "we will be gin with tho 'Story of the Murdered Slnvo and the Stolen Lady.'" Calypso told her story slmnlv nnd j In tt few words.

He had done his brnvo best poor fellow but To bias had had six men with him, nnd It was soon over. Her they had gagged and bound nnd carried in n sort of im provised sedan chair; Tobias had done tho thing with n certain style nnd sho hnd to ndmlt with absolute cour tesy. When they hnd gone a mile or two from the house, he had had the gag tnken from her mouth, nnd, on her promise not to attempt to escape (which was, of course, quite impos sible) he had also had her unbound, so that her hurried Journey through the woods was made ns comfortable as possible. They were making, she had gathered and ns we had surmised for tho northern shore, nnd, after about a three hours' march, she heard the sound of the sea. On the schooner she had found a cnbln all nicely prepared for her even dainty toilet necessaries and an excellent dinner wns Berved, on some quite pretty chtnn, to her alone. Poor Tobinsr hnd seemed bent on showing as he had said to Tom that he was not the "enrrion" we had thought him. After dinner, Tobias had respectful ly asked leave for a few words with her. He had apologized for his action, but explained that It was necessary the only wny he had left, he said, of protecting his own interests, and safe guarding n treasure which belonged to him nnd no one else, if It belonged to any living man. It had seemed to her that it was a monomania with him. While he had been talking, she had mnde up her mind what she would do. Sho would tell him the plnln truth about her doubloons, nhd offer him what remained of them as a ransom. This sho did, and wns nble nt last half to persuade him that, so far as any one knew, thnt was all the treasure there was, nnd then Uio digging nmong tho ruins of the old house wns n mere fancy oi her father's. There might be something there or not nnd she went so fnr as to give her word of honor that, If nnyfhlng was, found, ho should have his share of It. Tobias had seemed impressed, nnd promised his nnswer In the morning, leaving her to sleep with n sentry nt her cnbln door. She hnd sjppt soundly, nnd nwakoned only nt dawn. As soon ns sho wns up, Tobias had come to her, saying that ho had nccepted her offer, and nsklng her to direct him to her treasure. This sho had done, nnd, to avoid pass ing the settlement, they hnd taken the course round tho enstern end of tho island. As they had approached the cavo (and hero Cnlypso turned n quiz zical smile on me, which no one, of course, understood but ourselves) n eloop wns seen approaching them from the westwnrd . . . nnd here she stopped and turned to Charlie Web ster. "Now," said the "king," "we shall hear tho story of Apollo or, let us say, rather AJax the Far-Darter ho of the arrow that never missed its mark." And Chnrlle Webster, more nt home with deeds thnn words, blushed nnd blushed through his pnrt of the story, telling how having culled nt the set tlement he hnd got our message from Sweeney, nnd was making up tho coast for tho hidden creek. He had spied what lie felt sure wns Tobias' schoon er hnd called on him "in the king's namo" to surrender ("I had in my pocket fho wnrrant for his nrreat," said Charlie, with Innocent pride "tho d d scoundrel") but had been answered 'with bullets. He hnd been terribly frightened, he owned, when Calypso had been brought on deck, but she hnd given him courage he paused to beam on her, n broad-faced admira tion, for which he could find no words and, ns ho had never yet missed n flying duck nt I forget how many ynrds Chnrlle mentioned well . . . perhaps he oughtn't to hnvo risked it. And so his story enmo to an end. umtd reassuring npplnuse. "Now," snld the "king," "for the Story of tho Disappearing Gentleman nnd the Lighted Lantern' And then I told my story ns It is nl rendy known to the render, and I hnvo to confess thnt, when I came to the chcstful of doubloons nnd pieces of eight, I hnd n very attentive audience. Tho "king" wns for Btnrtlng off thnt very night. But, reminded of the dif ficult seclusion In which the treasure still lay, ho was persuaded to wuit till tho morrow. "At dnwn then,". ho said, "tomorrow 'what time, the rosy-footed dnwn' . , . so be it. And now I nm going to talk to AJax tho Far-Darter of duck shooting." "But wnltl" I cried. "Why did 'Jack Hark-away' go to Nassau?" Calypso blushed. Tho "king" chuckled. "I prefer not to bo known in Nassau, yet somo of my business has to be done there. Nor is it snfe for beauty like Calypso's to go unprotected. So from time to time, 'Jack Harkawuy' goes for us both I And now enough of explanations I" nnd he launched Into talk of gumo and iport In various ID i pnrts of the world, to tho huge delight of the great simple-hearted Chnrlio. But, nfter n time, other matters claimed the nttention of his other nuditors. During the flow of his dis course night hnd Xnllen. Cnlypsa aaJ I perceived that we wero forgotten so, by nn impulse that seemed to bo one, wo rose nnd left them there, nnd stole out Into the garden where tho little fountnin wns dancing like a spirit under the moon, nnd the orange trees gave out their perfume on tho night breeze. I took her hnnd, nnd wo wnlked softly out Into tho moonlight, and looked down at the closed lotuses In tho little pool. And then wo took courage to look Into each other's eyes. "Calypso," I said, "when nro you go ing to Bhow me where you keep your doubloons?" nnd I added, in n whis per, "Jack when nm I going to see you in boy's clothes ugnln?" And, with that, she wns in my arms, nnd I felt her heart beating against my side. "Oh I my treasure," I said ever sq softly "Calypso, my treasure." POSTSCRIPT. Now, such readers as have been "gentle" enough to follow me so fnr in my story, may possibly desire to bo told what lay behind those other locked doors In 'tho underground gal lery where I so nenrly lnld my bones. Those enverns, we afterward dis covered, did actually communlcnto with Blackbcnrd's ruined mansion, nnd tho "king," who has now rebuilt thnt mansion and lives in it in semifeudal state with Calypso and mo, is able to pass from one to the other by under ground passages which nre nn unfail ing source of romantic satisfaction to his dear, absurd soul. As to whether or not the mansion and the treasure were actually Black beard's that Is, Edward Tench's wo are yet In doubt, though wo prefer to believe thnt they were. At nil events, we never found any evidence to con nect them at ull with Henry P. Tobias, whoso second treasure, we have every reason to think, still remains undis covered. As for the sinister nnd ill-fated Henry P. Tobias, Jr., wo hnvo since lenrned through Chnrlle Webster, who every now nnd ngnln drops in with sailors from his sloop nnd carries off the "king" for duck hunting that his real nnme wns quite different; ho must have assumed, ns n nom do guerre, the nnme we knew him by, to glvo color to his claim. I i.m nfrald, therefore, that he was n plain scoun drel, nfter nil, though It seemed to mo that I saw gleams in him of something better, nnd I shall always feel a sort of kindness townrd him for tho saving grace of gnllnnt courtesy with which ho invested his nbductlon of Calypso. Calypso . . . She and I, Just for fun, sometimes drop ln,to Sweeney's store, nnd, when she hns made hor purchases, she draws up from her bosom n little bag, and, looking softly nt me, lays down on the counter1 a golden doubloon; and Sweeney who, doubtless, thinks us nil a little crazy smiles Indulgently on our make-believe. Sometimes, on our way home, we come upon Tom in tho plantations, su perintending a gang of tho "king's" Janissaries nmong whom Erebus Is still tho blackest for Tom is now the lord high steward of our estate He beams on us in a fatherly way, and I Iny my hnnd significantly on my left side to his huge delight. He flashes his whlto teeth nnd wags his head from side to side with Inarticulate en Joyment of the allusion. For who knows? He may be right. In so mys terious a world the smallest canse may lend up to tho most august results and there Is nothing too wonderful to hap. pen. (THE END.) Key of Happiness. It Is very difficult to realize it sometimes, nnd it is very hnrd on our pride to ndmit it when we do realize It, but it is n fact nevertheless, nnd n fact that we should lot get hold of us, nnd stay with us that tho Joy nnd hnpplness nnd satisfaction of oar lives depend very much moro upon ourselves nnd the kind of people wo nre thnn upon tho kind of things that happen to us. It is the kind of will wo carry round with us, nnd tho atti tude of our mind nnd the temper of our spirit nnd decides whether our lives shnll be happy and hopeful, and not tho things thnt come to us. Given the right kind of will, tho snme nttlude nnd the wholesomo temper of soul, we shnll be nblo to adjust our selves to life with some comfort and satisfaction, no matter what its accidents nnd incidents, until they be como quite satisfying.
