CHPTER IIL BXnXT HATas'S LAST OtoUISB. lei A time oama whan the ezoenea of Bully fiayea, and other deaparadew eocearaged by hia example and impmityt readied the limit of endnranoe of the EaropoMi powers inter- eated in the Pacific. The GoyidetroiB had failed, with liabilities amounting to more Hun five millioaa of dollarsi mainly throngh the atata of inaeonrity oanipd by these tII- lalna, and their taradiM; abattons had fallen into the hands of all sorts of nnsompalona kdventorers. The most beaatifnl and de- lightful portion of the globe, in short, had faeoome a â-¼eritable pandemoniom. Half measares havlag ntterly fafled, the British at length took the bold atep of an-, nezing the Fiji Islands, azpdling the impu- dent tmpostora who called themselves the government, pensioning the King and ap- pointing an oifioer of great ability as Cover- ner with the additional title and almost nnlimited authority of High Commissioner of the Western PmISc. In order to meet the slAves and pirates on their own grounds, or rather, in thdr own waters^a nnmbbr of small steam cruisers and swift-sailing schoooers were built, in tbe navy yards at Sidney and fitted out under the command of young cffi^ers who had al- ready seen service among the islands. The exceedingly elastic terms and bonadaries of the Hieh Commissioner's jariadiction, gave these officers power to dsal with snspidous vessels in any way they thought best, and the sea rovers soon found the climate of the Pacific liecoming unpleasantly warm. Not K few of tbem got long sentences of im- prisorment in the terrible stockades of iffiw South Wales, while others, agfnst whom no Indictable cffecce could te proved, under the civil law, were detained in jiil at Lavnka, the 09at of govemmeat! at jS'iji, by '« High Oommlastdnet's aathority. A fe#, who were dearly proved to have stained their hands with blood, were hanged. Bully Hayes met with hia usndl luok dur- ing these trying times. He was three times oaptured, invariably through treach- ery; but twice he obtained an acquittal, partly through the extreme difficulty in obtaining any sort of reputable evidence aKains!] mm, partly throngh liia wonderfully able defence of himself, and partly through the sympathy of the jury with a bold ad- venturer in a disordered state of sooiety. On the third occasion, when things looked un- commonly bd.d against him and everybody thought the game was up, he mysteriously •ioaped from custody, and remained in hid- ing until the affi^ir had blown over. After that things settled down rapidly in the Fscifi:, and Bully Hayes, cleverly adapting himself to the new regime, became quite a respectable trader and was even of great assistance to the authorities in detect- ing and following up the slavera. His fine appearance and mild manners prepossessed everybody, and among the merchants cni even the naval cffioers he came to bd-rc- garded as a much maligned man. The pirate, however, still survived under tiiat smooth exterior, and before very long the old Adam got the upper hand. Like most adventurers and dishonest (leople ;enerally, Hayes was always a com- paratively poor man. Though enormous sums must nave passed throngh bis hands from first to last, and though be always had hia pockets full of gold, he had never laid anything by, and now, when he had given np his old methods of supplying himself irith cash, he was sometimes quite in •tnJghtened ciircnmstanoes. There is noth- ing harder than for a habitual rogue to earn an honest living, and Bully Hayes was not the man to try very long. During this interval of seeming respeota- Ulity, too, he had onoe more become suscep- tible to female charms, and contemplated matrimony with the buxom widow of a trader at one of the islands. The lady, however, was not particularly eager for the match. She stipulated that Oapt. Hayes should quit the sea onoe for all, and that he should be able to produce sufficient means to buy out her late husband's partner, and aeonre cer- tain laads in the neighlwrhood of the trad- ing station for cultivating coooannts and ccfF-e. The truth was, Hayes was not nearly so attractive as he had been when a yonniter man, and the widow was much more in- clined to confer her hand and her late hue- band's savings on his mate, a remarkab'y handsome young Irishman named Magee, commonly called the aschblshop, from his alleged relationship to the celebrated pre- late of the name. Hayes had a suspicion of this, and was desperately j salons of Magee. At the same time each of the men knew the other's strong qualities, and a great deal of mutual respect and confidence existed between them. They had been through many dark adven- tures together, and either might have be- trayed the other to the gaUows at any moment. But each knew that he might trust the other implioitiy, and, in fact they had come to nave that feeling of attachment for one another which sometimes p e vails among the worst of men. Magee chafed under Idleness and repect- Ikbility not less then Hayes did, and as he ftlao hiad hb reasons for wishing to make a flood large haul â€" reaaons not altogether nn- bonnected with the widow aforesaid^he Was heartily glad when Hayes proposed to him one day that, they ahoold make j oat one more cruise in the old style before relinqui- â- hing the sea forever. Having obtained possession of a fa 39 â- ohooner by a deliberate and aiiigularly olever frau^'i, they loaded her witii produce at Lavuka, under the very nose of the High Commissioner, and, having got their papsrs in dne form, sailed away nndar 4he_B;itish flif^, nominally iiiMind. for Sydney. No aowsw wan they dawot-dteteaek of vea- â- ela. howBver, than they noi i«» an hnin- habitvd ialaoi, landed their 3a«{^ repainted the sohooner, changing her, name i^d post of registry, hoisted the Frebdif fi ig, which was then beoominf; rather OpiBiB^.faa those â- eas, and sailed dna north.

Adopting his old device, which had anawered so well with the K%rl, Hayes partially dismantled bis vessel, and hnog out a signal of diatresa. Following out the a»me tactioa as before, he contrived to get close to the ship as night was falling, with the intention of letting the schooner bear down upon her in the darkness and then, in the oonfneion of the coUisioD, boarding her from his boats and overpowering her crew. All went well up to the point of the attack, but there Hayes found that he had made a terrible mistake. The ship was not an Australian liner, but a china trader, well manned and armed, and thoroughly prepared for meeting all comers. Her lascar crew fought like t{s;er3, and Hayes and bis men thought themselves lucky to get back into their boats and regain tbe schooner, leaving fully one fourth cf their number dead or wounded on the deck of the other ship Hayes himself received a severe thrust from a pike, and this, together with mortification at his failure, snl trouble of mind about his love aSdir, made him morose and quarrel- some, and addicted to drink. From that time forward the captrin and the urate of the Belle ijitoile wera on any thing but friendly terms, and before very long they settled down into a bitter rivalry. The mate took care never to sleep without his revolvers ready and a man whom he could trust OH the watcb t9 give h'm the alarm at any iiiSment. Hayes, however, showed BO dieposition to take advantage of him on board the schooner, and they came to a tacit agreement to have nothinir to sy beyond what was necessary for working the ahip. It) stood to reason that snch an arrange- ment could not last long between men of violent paasiona and naturea hardened and brnlalfzad by long familiarity with deeds of darkcess. Har ea, nevertheless, was not ordinarily bru tal in his impulses, though there was nothicg he was not capable of in cold blood when he was bent on any purpose. But he had hit own peculiar way of doing things. Magee, on the other band, was a hot headed fellow, a perfect savage when his passions were aroused, but not really such a bad-hearted man as Hayea. The Bdlle Etoile waa nearing an island in the New Hebrides one day, not far from the scene of the Karl outrage, and the mate was sitting alone at hia dinner, for the Captain and he never took their meals together. Hayes auddenly came down into the little cabin, and eeating himielf at the table, said in his pleasantest voice ' Mr. Magee, I have a proposal to make to yon, sir. Things haven't been very agreeable aboard this ship for some time past, and I thick it'8 about time we oame to a proper understanding. There isn't room for two captains on one dock, and what's more, there'd a c^rtiin lady, whose name I won't mention, that can't marry more than one man at a time. You understand mc, don'a you ' The mate nodded and went on eating his tinned beef and pickles, wondering what waa Doming next. •'Well, then, that's tJl right," tha Cap- tain resumed. "What I suggest Is that when you've done your dinner we should just step ashore with our bulldogs and see who's the best man of the two. Doa't yon hurry, it's early yet. There's eight bells going now. Yon try some of that pudding. You 11 find it very good. 111 go and bring her to anchor, and then we'll get oat our shooting irons and go and settle thia matter anngly and comfortably like gentlemen." The ma'^e aaw nothing for it but to com- ply, and, indeed, he was not sorry to see an «nd to hia suspense, for he knew there must be a death struggle sooner or later. As soon as the schooner waa moored the Captain and mate went ashore, with two other men to see fair play, the rest of the crew going aloft to get a better view of the procsedings. The epot chosen was a smooth terrace joat above the beach. The distance was twenty paces, the combatants' being placed back to back with an agreement to walk ten paces straight ahead and then turn round and fire. The. moment they turned Magee fired; but Hayes stood still witk his revolver in hia hand at bis side, looking calmly at his opponent The mshte, seeing that he had missed, and surprised at Hayes's seeming hesitation, lowered hia weapon and called cue, What's the matter!" Hayes, having thus gained time to take a deliberate aim, raised bis revolver like a flash of lightUng and sent a bullet into Magee's breast. Magee at once returned the shot, and H»yea, throwing np hia hands with a shout, turned half round and fell headlong on the grass. He was perfectly dead when the men got np to him, the bullet having strnok him in the throat and severed the jugular vein. Thev buried him where be fell, and raised a cairn of stones to his memory. Magee's wound was not dangerous, the bullet having run along the breast bone and come out at tha side. He sailed tha Belle Etoile back to Fiji under her old name, and restored ber to her owners, payini; them handsomely for the use of her mkI, in con- uderation of his having rid the Pacific of a scourge and his promise to lewl a new lifp. the authorities consented to overlook his oflerces. He married tlie widow and did well in trade, and many a time, when in a mood for reminiacenoea, ha told the tale of Bully Hftyes's last cruise, with judidoua selections from the adventarea of the pirate of the Pacific.

Tke Shade Was "Kat Wrapped Vp fr Delv int" and Kefased the Inrltaiea te Rtde, as " WalkiBS Was Warmer." Such a glorious night I The snow sparkled like diamond dnst, and the sleigh mnners squeaked as they passed over it, with frosty sound so dear to the heart of the true Can adian. The moon had riaen. and it was as bright as day. The horse's breath seemed to fill the air with clouds, and his coat aleady be gan to sparkle with frnst. Oh, it was good to be home again "Canada for the Can- adians." Is it any wonder we love our beautiful country with auoh passionate de votion? From these high and patriotic thonghta I was aroused by coming to a turn in the road, a fork. Now there were two roads to tbe village from this point, one lead- ing down a long, steep hill, at the bot- tom of which an aboideau, or 'irimittve bridge, buUti of fir trees and brush, with alternate layers of earth and stones â€" a sort of earthwork, in fact â€" spanned a deep treach- erous little creek, in which the ice piled in huge blocks in winter, and, as it was an estu- ary of the river, it waa a dangerona spot when the tide was high. Taking this road would cut cfFmore than half a mile of my journey, eo I decided to try it, despite a carious relnotanoe en tbe part of my horse The road certah'y did not look as if U was traveled much, but just at the tarn the ssow had drifted cff, leaving it nearly bare. Sa I forced the unwilling nag into the road way and j agged on oaut lonely. The spot bore an unpleasiut name, and a still more unpleasant reratation. It was o-lled "Ghost's Hollow.' AN UNCANNY Fi.ACE. Fifty yeats ago, in the old days when the province was thinly settled and aweekly stage coach was the only means of communication between the different towns, the horses of a heavily laden coach had taken fright at the top of the hill, and dasbiog down at mad speed gone over the aboideau. The tide was full in Bt the time and the creek filled with great floating blocks of ice. There were none to help in that lonely spot,, so every one hal been drowned, and the super- atitiona country people insisted that on wild winter nights any one stand- ing at the top of the hill and listening in- tently could hear the muffled sound of sleigh bells, the shouts and the splashing and struggling of tha horses. Csrtain it was that, when the tide was very low and tbe wind high, the water ruahing through the alnioes under the aboideau made an eerie, gurgling sound that waa not by any meana cheerful. I could hear it now with painful diatinctness, though there was no wind. And my thoughts traveled back to my boyhood and to old Angus McDjuald, a queer old Scotch farmer, with whom I had been a favorite, who had taoght me how to make fcx traps and to shoot rabbits, to believe in omens and to be frightened in dreams. THE MEETING ON THE BOAD. He was a euperatitious old fellow, who de- clared that he had the gift of second sight,and who had always insisted that to hear the sound of the groans and struggles in "Ghost's Hollow," was a sure forerunner of coming mbfottune to the one hearing them. I smiled to myself as I remembered it, and made a mental note that I would tell Angus the first time 1 saw him, and ask him what he made of the omen now. The horse stopped so tnddenly that I nesrly fell over the dashboard 1 ifijid direct-, ly in front of tne sleigh I saw a man plodding slowly along throngh the snow. I could have sworn that he was not there half a minute before, and yet he could not have come ont of the woods without my seeing him. "Holloa!" I called. He turned slowly, and 1 saw that it was old Angus himself. " Why, Angus, dd fellow," I said " what in thewcrld are yon doing in this lonely spot 7 Jump in and I'll drive you home. 1 was just thinking abont yon. ' "Many thanks, Walter, for yer offar and yer thoughts, too but ix.'a a cold night, and I'm not that wrapped up for driving walking's warmer," he answered. " Bat what brings you out here on such a night, Angus " I persisted. " Your rheu- matiam muat bs better than it waa, or would not run snch risks.

So I took thAtoach road, and if it had not been for poor old Angus McDonald I sbonld be floundering ainong the ioe cakes now instead of sitting hera I met him before I had more than started down tbe hill, and he told me abont the 'bito,' as bo called it." A SFECTRAL GUIDB For a f nil minute after I spoke there was a dead cileaoe. Then Jack opened his mouth to speak, but was chroked instantly by a look from father. Maggie grew very pale, and then flushed nneasily, and motiier said something hurriedly about my having miatei the train, and how disappointed the girls had been. Something had evidently happened, for every one seemed constrained, but made nervous efforts to talk, so I was glad when the meal, which had begun so merrily, came to a closer I went back to the par'or with the girls and tried to feel as I did when I first came in, but it was of no use, and, hearing Jack's footstep crossing the hall, I slipped out and stopped him ' look here. Jao'i," I began, "did I say anything oat of tha way at supper ' ' No Oh, no, " said Jack, uneasily; he had evi dently received privat instructions to hold bis tongue, and he found the task a hard Otti. " Very well," I answered shortly "if you don't choose to tell me, I'll go ont in the kitchen and ask the aervanta. "they will teli me fast enough Nnw what was there in my saying I had seen old Angtia to startle any one wj ' â-  ' Well, if yon will have it. there was a good deal. Angus died six weeks ago.

Jack saya I just staggered and fell, as if I had received a blow. And when I was able to take any interest in what waa passing around me it was nearly the last of January, and I had lost coont of time for many weeka.
