Bt-yoitd it in th? wide hall iitocd Aiiss Atal>ella. a slim, virginal "Whist!" hissed Mr. Blood to his waHing rebels-convict. "Gome on, now, and without nodse." Within five minutes they had swarmed aboard, the entire twenty of them overflowing from that narrow gallery and crouching on the quarter- deck itself. Li-ght^ showed ahead. Under the great lantern in the prow they saw the black figure of the other sentry, pacing on the forecastle. Crouching low, they glided, noise- less as .shadows, to the quarter-deck rail, and thence slipjwd \vithout sound down into the waist. Two thirds of them were armed with muskets, some of which- they had found in the over- seer's house, and others supplied from fipure in white mysteriously revealed in the plsnm of a single candle which she carried. Mr. BI.-!od itrode in followed by his diftraught companion, who, falling tptn A I abeila's slender bo.som, sur- rtndeiod her.self to a passion of tears. Hut h? wr.«tod no time. "Wh-m Imve you hsre with you? What servants?" he demanded, sharply. The only male was James, an old ECgr.o grcom. "The very man," Kaid Blood. "Bid! hiiTi get out horses. Then away with you to Spcightown, or even farther wvrth. whore you will be safe. Here you aie in dreadful danger." The horses came at last â€" four of Ihein, for in addition to James who was to act a.<! her guide, Mi.S8 Bishop had hjr woman, who was not to be left behind. jMr. Bliod lifted the slight weight of Mary Traill to her horse, then turned to say gwdbye to Miss Bishop, wh') wa.s already mounted.

The boats pulled away from the shore, with their loads of laughing, jeering Spaniards. They had come midway between the wharf and the ship, when suddenly the air was shaten by the boom of a gvn. They paused at their oars, as- tounded into silence for a mommt. Then speech burst from thein like an explflsioni. They wwe still curs- ing when a second shot came to crumple one of the boats into splin- ters, flinging its crew, dead and liv- ing, into the water. But if it edienced these, It gave ton^e, still more angry, vehement, and bewildered to the crews of the other seven boats. Plump into their noiddle came a third shot, smashing a aeoond boat with fearful execution. Whilst they discussed and fumed and cnraed two more shots came over the water to account for yet a third of their boats. After the fourth shot, vdth one accord they went about, or attempted to do 80, for before they had accom- eiabed it two more of their boats d been sunk. The three boats that remained headed back for the wharf at speed. If the Spaniards understood no- thing of this, the forlorn islanders ashore understood still lees. They Raw the flag of Spain come down fttm^ the mt^'-mlaat of the Clnco Llagas, and the flag of England soar to its empty place. That the Clnco Llagas wa» now in friendly hands could no longer be doubted after the proofs it had given. But who, the people of Bridgetown as>ked one another, were the men in possession of her and whence had they come. It remained to ascertain the precise identity of these myster- ious saviors, and do them fitting honor. Upon this errand â€" Governor Steed's condition not permitting him to go in person â€" went Colonel Bishop as the Governor's deputy, attended by two officers. Ranged on either side, athwart the deck, stood a score of men in two well-ordored files, with breasts and backs of steel, poIishe<l Spanish mor- ions on their heads, overshadowing their faces, and muskets ordered at their side*. Colonel Bishop could not be expect- ed to recognize at a glance in these the ragged, unkempt scar^rows that but yesterday had been toiling in his plantations. Still less could he be cfccpected to recognize at once the courtly gentleman who advanced to greet him â€" a lean, graceful gentle- man, dressed in the Spanish fashion, all in black with silver lace, a gold- Wlted sword dangling beside him from a gold embroidered baldrick, a broad castor with a sweeping plume CORNS frr^ corns, tsnder tOM and HUv .^ IwMm* of tight iboM. ^mj^^M mSahairs â- 55^ WUson Publishing Company WASHABLE FROCKS MAKE STRIPES A PART OF THEIR CHIC.

Knight, of the BrlUsh Araiy, rescued a young female eagle, which he has since succeeded in training to hunt like a falcon. At first the bird waa nervous, but she soon learned to perch on her master's arm and feed there. After being made to feel at home, she was tempted to go for stuffed rabbit-skins and sacks of food. The bait was swung or thrown In the air, and the bird would be attracted to it from greater and greater distances. She then learned to fly up Into a tree and watch Captain Wright until bo produced and projected his lure. If, however, the bait was not thrown up promptly the Indignant fowl would make a bee line for the trainer's head, and In order to save himself the Cap- tain would have to toss up the bait at once. The first time this happened the lure was not extracted In time, and the eagle swooped down on the Cap- tain's head, opening up his neck with her talons so that three stitches had to be taken. After this episode the trainer covered his flst and fcft-earm { with mall and wore a fencing mask. To bear the weight of the bird he had to support bis arm on a crutch, and the eagle was attached to a clothes- line, tied to a strap on either leg. At capturing live game the bird proved a great disappointment. She could only catch bares and rabbits when they ran downhill â€" a tact the animals Jiad sense enough to appre- ciate Captoin Wright believes that a goshawk is ten times as efficient at taunting as an eagle but was surprised to find tke larger bird so tractable. On the whole the experiment proved a great success, since excellent slow moving plctifres were secured of the eagle seising the artificial lure, carry- ing It away, and perching on its mas- ter's arm. Once these films were taken the bird was set free. | ^ A golfer missed the ball three times, ploughing up the turf. "You've re- voked," said his partner. "But I'm not playing cards," remonstrated the unfortunate player. "All the same," was the reply, "you've been playing a spade Instead of a club!"
