TIE s.oGRAFizT OF A SHILLING

BY S. B.
"'What is your name?'
The boy gazed steadily into the eyes of
the man, but said nothing.
"'Yes.'
''Answer, then What is your name?'
"He went close to the officer. MY name
is William Orville. I came here to kill you.
She sent me-
"'Hap the soldier staggered back; for
notwithstanding that vague fear in his soul,
that answer, so like her, sent q shiver
through him, and caused his cheek to pale
even under its coloring of tropic suns.
"I must send him away; what would
the Donna Estrella say?' he muttered, under
his breath; for he was soon to espouse the
high born Spanish beauty, Donna Estrella
D'Alzo.
Stay herer he commanded, and turned
little figure sprang forward; something
bright flashed in the rays of the setting sun,
and cutting through flesh and bone, barely
touched the false heart of General William
Oryille.
'Prine waited long for his masters dress
ing bell, but waited in vain. Anxiety at
last was changed to alarm, and the door,
which was found locked, was broken open
then all could see why the commander had
partly on his face, his white linen garments
stained with the crimson flood that spread
widely over the matted floor.
"'Who has done this?' was heard on
every side, and many eyes flashed darkly as
the question was asked, for the soldiers
loved their gallant commander. It was no
suicide, for death had come from dagger
wound in the back. Prime received many
scowling glances until he bethought him to
tell OF the little beggar boy he had left in
his MASTER apartment There was searching
in hot haste, but the only clue ever obtained,
was the testimony of carrier who had
seen shadowy little figure fit by him in
the dusk OF the evening; and he remembered
the feeling of compassion that had stolen
over him as he saw the blood that covered
the face and hands of the wretched fugitive,
for he doubted not that he was the victim of
i'll treatment.
..In the meanwhile, William had found q
hiding place in the hole of n vessel, that
weighed anchor and stood out to sea at 10
o'clock P. M He kept concealed until
hunger drove him forth, and though The
Captain was annoyed, he could feel only
pity for the orlorn-looking creature who
had such white, scared expression on his
little thin face. He was very reticent and
neither persuasion nor threats could induce
him to speak of himself.
"On the third day out, q. vessel hove in
sight, and on being hailed, reported that
she had touched at Gibraltar. William s
face grew ghastly and his knees shook under
him; with trembling hand he took me from
his pocket, and laid me in the Captains s
palm.
"'Take it, it is all 1 have; you have been
kind to me. God bless you for It,
"'What is the matter, my lai?' and the
kind Captain turned his puzzled face from
me to the boy.
" They are coming for me, but will not
so with them; 1 will die here, the white lips
stammered. And before any one compre-
hended his design, he darted over the ves-
