found any one catching horses here, to
take them and bring thein to him."
"And do you mean to take us?"
"I do, most surely."
Upon this the prisoners .were a!!
auouuted and secured iu their seats, an I
the party started on. It was a Strang,
piece of work, and so s':.' '.-uly h-'d it
come upon them that the pirates knew
lot what to make of it. It.it to Naga
saki they had evidently got to go, and
they made the best of it by hoping that
horse stealing would be the only thin
brought against them, for they felt sur.
that they could free themselves from that
tharge; but there were ot!ier things
which, should they be brought against
them, would rest more heavily upon
them.

"lour very face gives the lie to your
words." said the oflh-er, with a sirens
tic smile; "but if you can make Pedro
Manriquez believe you, you may get
elear."
"And who is he?" asked Buffo.
"Governor of Nagasaki."
Burnington said no more. In one hour
the party had gained the small biy
where the fishermen's huts were built
ud here was found a small government
vessel, on board which both meu aud
horses were soon placed. Shortly after-
ward the prisoners were on their way be

hopes of getting away.

had transpired. At first the pirates were
frightened, fearing that they should all

sure them that Langley and his men
were taken for horse-stealing, their fears
were mostly removed.
Paul heard the whole story, and his
suspicions at once fell npon Burning
ton. He remembered the letter he had
disposed of, and which was directed to
I'edro Manriquez, and he bad since learn
d that Manriquez was the governor.
But be had no Idea of what it all meant.
It was but another strange liuk in the
snystie chain of circumstances that seem
ed to bind that dark-visaged man to his
present position and to others about him.
If Burnington had beeu the means of
getting these men entrapped, he must
anean something more by it than their
saere apprehension for crime. And if this
were the fact, then b must have meant

But Paul's meditations were soon cut
short by another cause. It was now near
sundown, and '"ist as the youth came up
from the cabin, where he had been eut
fcuc slipper all alone, the captain's boat
was seen eomiug down the river as swift

sank, for he feared that something ill
had befallen Mary. The coxswain leap

Mirl waa dumb with astonishment; but
soon his tooguo found its use, and he
qnestioued the youth upon every point;
but the latter could only tell what he
had henrd from Jack Martin "that the
party had been captured by a band of

of ln r-e stealing."

'ihat evening as the sun touched the
west; rn horuon aud poured its B.xid of
gol.Jen sheen into the room, Paul set by
the bed and held Mary's hand within
his own. He sat thus for some time iu
siien. e, when the in.i!d. u spoke:
"Paul," she said, iu a low, tremulous
voice trembling from euiotion rather
than weakness "you are uut happy at
having found a sister."
The )omh started, and for a moment
his eyes were U-at to the floor. But
soon he looked np. ud while an expres
sion of more than common sailness rest
el on his h;MiJso:ne features, he replied:
"it is not what I have found that
moves me. It is a holy blessing to own a
sister's love. But what have I lotV"
"None of my loie. Paul," quickly cried
Mary. "1 can love jou ever, my brother."
"Oh, Mary, if jou love me, speak not
that name. Call me Paul call me
call tne Ixve. Oh, call me anything
but that!"
"And do you not love your sister?"
murmured the stricken girl, In soft, plain
tive sadness.
"Yes, yes, oh, yes; I love you more
than I can tell. But do not call me
brother. Not now not now. At some
time when my heart has arisen from Its
grief, I may bear it But not uow."
The youth pressed the white hand
he held to his lips, and the tears coursed
freely down his cheeks. In this position
was he when Olehewa entered the room.
"My master," she said, addressing
Paul, "jou must not fear, for all is not
yet lost. I have been long prepared for
any emergency, and Marl Bnroou can
not succeed in any plan of wickedness he
may undertake, save to keep my mistress
here a prisoner; and I do not think he
can do that"
Paul returned her a look of gratitude,
but he made her no immediate reply in
word. The sun was now down, and the
shades of evening were gathing about
the place. The youth saw that his fait
patient needed repose, ami leaving with
Otehewa instructions how to administet
the medicine, he left the apartment aud
walked out into the garden, and there he
paced to and fro until long after the
darkness had come.
"She my sister!" he murmured to him
self, stopping suddenly and clasping his
hands together. "I know the man can
lie most basely lip; but this may be
true. Alas, I fear it is for my own
memory holds some such picture. Well
do I remember of calling her my sister,
yet it may Iss false. The man with whom
I lived was not my father, for Burn
ington has told me as much; and then
1 reni'-mher that I called him uncle. Oh,
why has this come to blast my life plan?
Why has this heavy hand of anguish
fallen on me? Burningtou might tell me
something, but he is my enemy and he
is a prisoner, besides."
Paul stopped, for at that instant he
felt a light touch upon his shoulder, lie
turw-d and saw Otehewa.
"What seek ye here'" be quickly ask-
eu.
"To tell yon a secret," answered the
dsrk-skiuned girl, at the same time cast
ing her ejes quickly about. s
"A secret?" repeated PnuL
"Ay," whispered Otehewa; "and when
you know it you may be on your guard,
though you must trust me more thau
yourself. Marl I. anion means to make
mv mistress his wife aa soon as be comes
back."
"What" ejaculated the young surgeon,
starting as though he had been shot
"How know you this?"
"Because I heard hitn say so; and he
has sent for a priest The priest will
come here lid remain until the maiden
is well enough to be married."
Paul started away with his hands
clasped. The girl hesitated a moment,
and then she added in a thrilling whis
per: "Waif nntil the time comes, riven the
base man's life is not worth that maid

He was a me II jm-sized man, or ruber
of medium height; but in his frame he
waa more full and bulky than usual,
thoush not tending at all to obesity. His
features were regular and harid-ome, his
eyes of a dark hazel, and very brilliant
his hair a dark auburn in color, with
much mixture of silver, and in aze he
appeared about fty. The only pecu
liarity al)ut bim was a pemiinr squint

crossing glance, one of the eje turning
diffeif utly from its neighbor. But this

"Fox, sir James Fox."
"Ah an American? From what part
did you come?" asked the pirate, now
showing palpable signs of uneasiness.
"From the east"
Marl Laroon was not the only one
who watched that man with more than
usual interest Paul also eyed him anx
iously, aud once or twice when Fox
spoke the youth started as though some
loug-forgotten memory had suddenly
come to b:jn. But the guest seemed
to notice nothing of this. He had simply
examined the countenances of those pres
ent when he first sat down.
The servants were called and directed
to set the tabic; aud while this was be
ing done, Laroou engaged his guest in
conversation.
"You may deem me over curious," said
Marl, after some remarks had been pass
ed about the weather, aud so on; "but
we seldom see a traveler on this road,
save our fishermen and peasants."
"Oh, it's natural that you should be
curious about it" quietly answered the
other, "and I'm sure I should be so my
self. It was pleasant when 1 left Na

country, and perhaps find some opening
for business."
"Business? What business yould jou

"Hunting for jewels."

yarn covered with deerskin. A stick
about two feet long with a spoon shape
at the end bucked by thong luces is
used and in this spoon the Indian must
catch the ball. He Is not allowed to
touch it with his hands. He catches
aud throws with his club.
The game Is a skirmish all the time
and there are 20 players on a side. An
Indian catches the ball In his stick If

by all his opponents and the scene
closely resembles a "down." He runs
