away!'
So saying she bounded over the rocks and
was out Of sight in moment.
"Surely this mysterious girl, must have some
connexion with the Pirate" thought Julian
"She plainly intimates danger is near, and
that am menaced. Really it's a strange oc-
currence!'
He determined TO say nothing to the Pirate
about his interview with North-west Hannah
(for he knew it must be she,.. inasmuch as he
believed that his companion wished TO keep
her existence SO near them q secret from
him.
"How far have you been'" said the Pi-
rate to Julian as he approached the hut.
"Not very far" said the youth.
"Have you seen any thing new or strange'"
said the Pirate, fixing penetrating glance up
on the eyes OF Julian.
"No," replied the youth, "no more than
you may see every day-the rocks and crags,
and sea weed and other things which are on
them"
Suddenly, as they stood talking, fragment
Of a rock, thundered down, passed within
three feet Of Julian, and struck down the Pi-
rate.
Julian sprung to the assistance Of his friend,
and in few moments, he opened his eyes,
"Youth," said he, "my time has come, l am
mortaly wounded fear not death; but, l
some water"--he took it, and drank-"Now,
my boy, come hhher-do you know me!''

piled the Pirate, "that Julian Moore should
not know the father ofElizabeth Cam"
"Oh! ye Immortal Gods" cried JullaE--"It

who eascd my sorrows. who befriended my

''you can repay all my favors."

"Did you not say that whoever saved your
life would indeed be your father'-now Julian,
will inform you Of circumstance, which
perhaps you are unacquainted with-my only
toned to associate with you-she early form
cd an attachment, and her ruin is the necessa-
ry consequence of your marrying another
Now, shall call you son; shall receive from

"Oh needless promise!" thought Julian as

ted his making any reply.
"You refuse me then!-you slay me twico"
said the Pirate, o my poor Elizabeth what
will become oftheen' For the first time, the
eyes of William Canning were moistened with
tears. Julian beheld it--then roso his great
soul There lay the preserver Of his life, his
own and his mothers friend refusing to sigh
when racked by the agonies Of death. but mel
ting with sorrow in contemplation Of his dlugh-
ter's ruin. 1t appeared that Elizabeth had
long nourIshed the fatal passion, and made it
known to her parent, and when Julian was
about parting from her, perhaps forever
she could restrain herself no longer. The
whole truth flashed upon Julisn's mind! On
one hand, love pleaded for Mary his feelings
were all enlisted there-the awful warning Of
Hannah, rung in his ears. "If he love her not
her heart will break!"
