marded Lester, eagerly.
Dick started up to his elbow, and gazed
around but he seemed to find nothing for
which he was not looking, and he sank back
again. Had he not made this effort he might
have spoken further, but the act of rising had
| exhausted him, and the last grain of strength
was leaving him.
"What do you mean % cried Lester, as he
saw that the poor fellow was sinking. HAS
anybody harmed you2
Dick managed TO raise his hand to his head
to point above the left ear-and, as he did
so, he whispered:
Look out-they asked for the captn. That's
where they struckp' He tried to speak further,
but his voice failed him.
| What could this mean Maurice Lester
started to his feet and gazed around. Who
had killed his men?
The captain was disturbed in his meditation
by the sound of voices not far off, and upon
turning, he beheld four men coming up from
the water. He who came in advance was
tall, muscular man; with a gaunt, heavy
frame; somewhere about fifty or fifty five
years of age and habited in a garb of blue
cloth, cut into a frock or shirt, which was
secured at the waist by broad pistolbelt
Maurice Lester was startled when he beheld
| the stalwart leader and his three ruffianly com
panions; and, considering all the circum-
Stances IL is no wonder that he was started.
