Il« a sign to Johnstone, who
took l>(dk In his arms anil swung him
lighlly down the companion-hatch like
.1 bundle of hammocks. In two mln
ules he was In his old seat at the end
of the table In the saloon, with his
ankles fast to the chair, which In ns
turn was screwed Into the floor. For
a long time he did not move. He had
lutle hope left now, hut he Steeled him*
■ elf to wall with patience. If any un
foreseen (hanee might yet give him hls
opportunity^' The sunset gun was heard
f om tin shore; It grew rapidly dark.
.1 ihnstooe entered to light the lamp;
In hls hand wus a heavy Iron capstan
liar
lh• laid It down upon the table, with
the letter beside It.
"There s your choice," tie said.
"All right!" said Dick, stoutly "I’m
ready but you'll all go. too, my man;
you’re lost without me,”
Jonned ne laughed brutally.
"don't you flatter yourself,” he said
"Ilead or alive, you’ll do our business
for us.”
l>|eU was client.
"l,ook you here,” said the other, ’’this
Is the way of It, and If you don’t un
derstand M now, you'll never have the
i ham i again. The brig's standing In
sirnlght for Jamestown; she's not three
miles i ff at this moment; and the flag
ship’s lying ready for her Just outside
the harbor. If you put your name to
that bit o' paper you're a free man this
minute. You'll stand In with the rest
of us for prise-money, and the lasa,
I hat's worth It all, she's yours Into tne
bargain. Itut If you're fool enough to be
obstinate—there's the colonel upon deck
there watching; when the guard-hoat
comes, he gives me a last signal—one—
two arid hefore three's out your neck's
broke, and you lying quiet in the hold.
'Had geoldent, gentlemen! An old friend
of Hlr Pulleney's, too; and Just had a
letter written to him asking leave to
anchor; ori his way to sign It when he
fell, PT’ajxi the admiral would let us
bury him ashore tomorrow?' Ho either
way we stand to win easy, d'ye see?"
Il>- did Indeed see, and that with a
supreme anguish of bitterness. Not
even by death was hr to thwart them,
or clear hi* own name from dishonor.
Itut hi* conscience was without re
proach, and Camilla knew the truth;
in these two thoughts he anchored hlm
self to meet the fury of bis lust storm.
The moments fled. The colonel called
<lown the hatchway that the boat had
left the flag-ship. Camilla heard him
shout, and fell upon her knees beside
a porthole, gasping for air.
A second time that Inexorable calm
voice earnc down to the deck below.
Johnstone took the Iron bar In his hand.
The boat earne alongside, and an of
tn er's voice shouted close to Camilla's
Tainting head: “Brig ahoy! Throw u*
a rope there!”
Dimly, a* one In a dream of horror,
she heard the colonel's answer.
"You needn't trouble to come on
board," he called down, In hi* smooth
est tones. "This Is the Hpeedwell, Cap
tain Ketcourt. He Is an old friend of
Admiral Malcolm and Is Just writing
to him for leave to anchor. Johnstone!"
he shouted, louder still, "ask the cap
tain if his letter's ready."
"Do you hear?" said Johnstone, bal
ancing the bar In both his hands.
‘ There's the last signal. Now then
one—"
The ch ar voice of the officer outside
ring thrnpgh the ship and drowned his
word*. *
"KsUiOurt!” it cried. "Pass In, pass
In! Tbf Kmperor's dead!"

The colonel made a ruah for the main
hnteh, calling to Johnatonc for help.
Dirk caught him In time, and handed
him over to the men from the flag-ahlp,
glvlpg them the Iron* at the game time,
"Are they for thl* fellow?" uaked WII
rnore.
"Oh!" aald Dick, conlemptuoualy, "aa

The Irona were on In a moment; the
colonel aermed to And them cold, for lie
ahlvered pitiably.
"Now for the other one!" aabl the
lieutenant.
Aa he a poke, Johnatone came on deck
by the forward ladder, and atood there
at a little dlatunce from the group, peer
ing about him In the lantern-light to aee
the prraltlorr of affaire.
Dick went up to him. "Here hr- la!"
he cried. "Johnatone, you're my prla

Johnatonea right hand wont awlftly
to hi* pocket, hut before he could graap
Ilia platol Dick'* flat *hot home be

dlaappcnrlng backward down the open
hatchway.
Two of the men-of-war'g men ran
down, and found him motlonleaa at the
bottom of the ladder: they brought him
on deck, and got a rope to aecure him
when he ahould come round.
Hut he never moved again: the fall
broken hla neck.
"Well," aalrl Dick, when they told him,

other,” he continued, turning to WH
niore, "a quick death's too good for him,
and no prison would hold him long.”
He reflected a moment, and then
turned lo the captive and his guards.
"Bring him below,” he said, and led
the way to the saloon.
In Dick’s own seat they placed the
colonel, with Dick's own Irons upon
him, and In his hand they mude him
take the pen with which he had com
manded Dick to sign away hi* honor.
"Now, If you will please leave us
alone together,” said Dick to the oth
ers. "I dare say I shall soon have done
with him.”
They went out wondering, and he
I turned to the prisoner.
"Write the date," he said, shortly;
"and now go on as I dictate to you:
" 'I hereby acknowledge and confess
that 1 conspired with one Herman
Johnstone, since deceased, to effect the
escape of the Emperor Napoleon from
the Island of Ht. Helena on the 6th of
-Vlay, 1821, and to levy war against the
king of France and the peace of
Europe; that for this purpose I bribed
the said Herman Johnstone and the
crew of the brig Speedwell, four of
! whom I knew to he French subjects;
and by fraud and forgery Induced my
ulster-in-law, Madame de Moritaut, and
Captain Richard Estcourt to accom
pany me. In complete Ignorance of the
object of our voyage.’ ”
The colonel stopped. "But that Is not
the truth,” he objected.
"Truth!” said Dick, scornfully; "what
Is truth to you? Write as I tell you.
every word! And wait before you sign,”
he added; "we want a witness whom
your slanders can not touch. WII
more!” he called, and the lieutenant
entered.
The signing and witnessing done.
Dick folded the paper end laid It again
before the colonel.
"Address It." he said, “to the Minis
ter of Justice at Paris.”
The colonel started and drew hack.
"Deal gently with me.” he said. In a
low voice; "courage and mercy should
go together."
"Courage and mercy," replied Dick,
“are no concern of yours: your province
Is obpdlence. and, If you can munage
It, a little decent shame.”
The address was written.

He had the aecond molar In Ida left

people gathered about tbe lion cagea

'I'lie operation, which la tboiigbt to
be the Ural of Ibe kind on record, waa
In every way auccceaful. It occupied
over uu hour of the time of tbe dcut
lat and the keeper, and It waa done
with comparative caae and with little
imln to the Hon.
About 2 o'clock the keeper went
Into the cage, followed by the admir

them aevcral hundred women, lie bad

help of bln na/dahiuta drove tbe other

After fondling .Major for a while, to
get him Into a good humor, the kcc|»er
called for the ropca, and the laak of
tying the In-net to tbe aide of the cage
began.
In a few mlnutea they had hit* four
feet through the aldea of the cage, and
be could acareely move, Once he
chewed the ro|>e In two, aud with Ida
Jawa pulled out the knot that tied one
foot. The reat waa comparatively
eaay,
Hope* were placed around the upper
aud lower Jawa, und the mouth held
open with a piece of heavy timber In
the handa of the keeper. Ur, Berner
then came Into the cage with Ida lu

He tlrat lanced the gum around the
ulcerated tooth, cut tbe ileab looke,

chlorofarm, liegan the work of extract

With the first strong pull with the
forceps Dr. Berner brought out a
tooth two and a half Inches long. But
It was only a piece of a very had
tooth, and It took three more trips
with the forceps to get the rent.
Then there were more cheer*, but
Major was quite docile by this time,
and cared very little for what was
going on. The chloroform had begun
to work and he felt little of the pain.
