After dinner Paul told the captain he area going up to the castle. Laroon red a bitter emiie as he heard thia. he made no objections. I'aul made u a bundle of linen which be said he ftould get washed, and within that he gncald a full suit of Billy M awn's etothta; and thus prepared, he called way his boat's crew, and went over the fti. lie had taken all the money he aid raise that be felt free to use, in all amounting to thirteen hundred do'- kn for, of course, the priie money of ft Bosnian corvette bad not yet been Hs)l i Hi ii 1 1 I, and Paul had not dared to ik for any of It, for fear of exciting aarplciona. TV castle waa reached, and the crew haU pledged themxelvea to obey their Mill commander to the rery letter, and W faithful to hla Interests, lie knew m tamld depend upon them, and he felt V ueaameaa on that arore, Billy Ma ftaa ka4 been thoroughly instructed la the Baut he was to play, and he waa tre- M4 for it. The portcullia was raised. 14 tka boat passed under and waa moor ai at the landing stairs cloas by the UOding. Paul found Mary waiting -for him with rack anxiety, but her countenance kelghteaed as soon as she saw her lover, tW ah knew by his looks that ail had tsaw right thua far. "Are yoo ready?" was the youth's first mark, aa soon ss they had secured a ltoatioB by themselres. "ETery thing Is don that I can do," m maiden answered. Then I think we are safe. No one pacta as no one dreams that we are gaang none save Buffo Burning-ton.'" "And does he kuowt" "Tes; or rather he will know, for 1 Trot him that we were going." As the night drew on they both grew BWrrous and ui..::isy, and Mary waa sure feat ahe could hear the beating of her Irrer's heart as aba stood next to his Ida. Billy Mason had watched t!ie oming darkness, and as soon as he ft ought he could do so without being ilacoTred he crept Into the boat and hid himself under the thwarts. A little while afterward Paul went to the boat, and aa soon ss he found that the youngster was there he repaired at one to Mary's apartment, where he found a lovely girl the Tery be iu ideal of a handsome sail r. The youth next went to ee that fts corridor -was clear, and, having fountf j tt so, they passed over to the maiden's Sleeping room, which waa on the front i f th bnildinj:. Tb window was care (ttlly raised, and Paul could see the dusky forms of three of his men below. He Whistled very slowly, and they whistled AJtt safe." It was but a few moments' work to fcaot three linen sheets together, and with ftne Paul lowered tbe girl safely to the ground. Juki as she touched terra firma dark form enme gliding np from be emtk the shade of th wail, and Alary Voald have cried out io alarm had she art recognised her faithful Otehewa.

Bjth Paul and Mary now breathad more freely. The bar rier was pai-ird. and the road was open. At this moment they reached a point which Siary desiccated as tie place where Otehwa had roiK-taled a buaJ.e of her clutbiiig. Tue bo was puilej in to tr. shore, sad bectuta tb cot of an cverLaE.:. rock waa found quite a bun d.e. This was taken on board, and they started d wn the stream. At U-ngth they cam. to th point of j. Uni where Paul had rewired to land. ; n.i ti.e i! was axin iai'1 in by tee shore. The youth heptd Mary out, and then he lan led hiinnetf. Tbe gold he had concealed a!ut bia person tn leathers beits. and the diamonds were in a email bag which Mary carried. Turning to bia crew, he said: "Now. my brars boys, you will remain her and wa.t for me until daylight and if 1 do not return by the time you can see the diatant mountains plainly, you may return to the brig; and there you may auer your captain as you please. Now, I am about to !ear you. Mjt of my shipmate bare ever been kind to me. You hare the warmest love of my grate ful heart. Farewell. Paul would have turned away at once, but Billy Mason sprang forward and caught his hand., and the rest followed his example, lie embraced the noble fellows in turn, and uttered one simple word more of farewell, and theu turned away. CHAPTER XIV. The night waa quite dark, and aa Paul and his companion struck into th wood path, th way became on of almost Im penetrable gloom. Once, at a rew rods distant from the shore, he atopped. Fortunately the path w aa a very clear one, for it led to the wide opening where the horse were kept, and was conse quently much traveled. In half an hour they reached the opening, and here I'aul caught a horse. lie had already con cealed a bridle there, which he readily found, and as soon aa the animal was prepared with his fixtures, Mary was helped upon his back. The youth took his seat behind her, and then started on. The animal proved to be a kind and gen tle one, and h kept th path without difficulty. It might haT been near midnight when tbt fugitives came to the open country thet bordered upon the email bay where the fihhe.-men's huts stood, and by this time th' Btara had begun to peep through the breaking clouds, but the moon had not yet men. Paul rode at once to the found no one there. Thia was to him a rough pier where the lugger lay, but he bad omen, and It struck him with fear. His next movement was to mske hla way to the cot where lived the man who was to have taken command of th lugger. H knocked at the door, and It was soon opeeud by the men wnoib I'aul most wished to ses. "How 1 thir ssked our hero. "Ton were to have everything ready for sail ing by an hour before midnight." To-morrow was the day set," ssid the fiskermnn, looking perplexed. "You said you might be her in the evening, bat at say event, by so hoar before midnight Ild yon mean to-day?" Paul saw that the man was honest In what hs said, and ha saw, too, where the mistake had com in. The fisherman had planned to sail on th morrow, snd they had confounded the evening and midnight of thia morning with the close of the day they had set. It was lurely a blind, blundering piece of work on their part, and so Paul felt It to be. But there was no help for it now but to get ready as quickly as possible, and tbe youth had the food senae not to bother them by finding too much fault with their care lessness. "How long will It take yoo to get ready 7" 'Oh, only a few hours. I can call np the men, and have all ready soon. Paul promised him a hundred dollars, and this bad the effect of hurrying mat ters somewhat; but they were further delayed by the tide being out. Those were painful moments to Paul. There he ftood, or rather walked upon the pier, and thoueht of how all this might have been avoided. Oh!" be ottered to Mary, at the name time clasping her hands In agony, "if these dolts had posseased the intelltzenca of common eheep, all this miiht have been obviated, and we should now, at this moment have been away. We should have been free; Oh, tls too bad too had! Bee bow slowly the sluggish tide comes In." And then Paul walked away to the side of the rough pier and then back again; and thia he repeated many times. Ever and anon he would stop and look at the water where it gathered about the rodder of the lugger, aud he wondered why It did not rise faster. Every mo ment seemed so hour to him; and the larr element appeared to gain nothing. But the water was not to be forever In rising, and at length the rudder waa covered and in a few raomeuta mora the old lugger began to right op. The moon had now risen, snd it was quite light, for the clouds had all broken away. Paul helped Mary on board, and then conduct ed bar below, where there waa a rui! sort of ruddy partitioned off for the sleeping quarters of ths crew, and this ha had secured for Mary's owu ue, hav ing planned to sleep himself nn deck under some mat which th fisherman prorniaed to provid. Ha selected the best bunk he could find, snd then set shout arranging th bedding so that Mary might take a much physical com fort a possible. Thus he waa engaged when the men on deck began to gather In the shore fnsta. and he knew from the feeling of the veiwcl that aha waa rery ear afloat for he could hear her kaai grating upon the aand.

"Now yon I la down, and I arta aw an alack and hai gat ft M w .fet mm ttntf I kaaWf 1sna semeone hailing tbe Tessel, I theagkt," atterd Mary, taming pal. Paul leaped npoa the deck and a eight this gaae that made hi heart stand at:". A doxen men were standing cpoa ; the pier, directly alongside the lugger, , and la advance of the rest he saw the ; short, square foros of Marl l-arocs. : "Ah. my boy." cried the pirate captain. ! leaping on board aa he spoke, and at the am tim motioning for his men to fel low bim.

"Lay a hand upon m and you , shall die." i "What wonld yon shoot your owa , father?" said Laroon. Before Paul could reply he was seHied from behind, h'.s pistols taken from him. anl his arms pinloied. Pome of tbe men bad come up back of him withoot his notice. Aa soon aa this was done.

"Now, my son," b said, as t caroe nesr to wtr Paul stood, "we will be on our way bark, for yru have been away long enough. Don't you begin to feel homeick?" The youth was now too much disgust ed to speak. He had wit enough to see what camel Marl's lightness of manner The captain had evidently been feani-f that they were gine past catching, anJ thua to come npon them so easily raised his spirits. The pirate had something upon hi tongue to say, but he kept it to h!melf H led Msry from the deck of ti e lug ger. snd his followers went after him with I'aul. Laroon spoke a few words with the fishermen, and then turned up toward a clump of cocoa trees, where s nmnlier of horses were hitrhe.. He spok no more nntil he had resched tbe horses, and then he said only enough to Inform tbone who guarded I'aul how i they were to dispose of him. Kuring thia time Paul had been wondering how all this cam about Either th boat's crew must hav been discovered; or Laroon must have gone up to the castle; or P.urnington must have turned traitor. He disliked to think the last thing, and yet It would hold the most prominent place In bis mind. "Ixwik ye, Paul" uttered the pirate captain after hs had sslnted Msry to the back of his horse, "where is your boat snd the men you had with you 7" The youth hes.tated a moment, but he quickly understood that if he did not answer this question plainly his bout men might hsve to suffer, so be answer ed: "They ar waiting where I left them I suppose. I told them to wait for ni until d.-iyllght and tiiat if I did uot re turn then, they might go on board." "Very considerate, to be sure," re sponded Msrl with a bitter sueer. He nuked no mora, and would have ridden off at once, had not Paul detained him "Unbind me." "id the youth. 1 hall not try to escape alone. The captain pondered upon It a few moments, and then gave directions tor unbinding th "boy'a" hands. This was don, and then the pirate chieftain start ed on, and in a moment more hi men followed him, Psui riding the hore h had com down on, snd which had Join ed the others as soon ss they bad been left by ths cocoa trees.

Do not fear to trust me, for I give yon my word that whatever you may say shall never be used to your prejudice Tell me. If you know." "Well, he left about 0 o'clock." "And when did he return for you V "He took us with him." (To be con tin ned. i HOW TO SCARE FOOTPADS. Jtut Clink a Silver Half Dollar Auatnst a Button.
