said the baronet.
"Some one would speak with YOU" said
a servant, opening the door moment after
wards.
| Whether this remark was addressed to
Chiron or himself, the baronet waited not
to ascertain, but he bade the servant show
the applicant in.
A moment passed-the door re-opened,
and the entrance was occupied by human
form. Two individuals in that room rec
ognized the new conner. The old hunter
started back and shaded his eyes with his
broad palm, while Ada uttered one wild cry
Of joy and delight, and sprang forward.
"Orlando, Orlando" uttered Chiron, as
soon as he could grasp the youth by the
hand, "what kind angel has given you
back to us 2"
"God ~ answered Orlando, as with one
hand in the keeping of the old hunter, he
raise the other towards heaven"
Sir Oliver waited for the first joy pas
sages of old acquaintances, and then he
stepped forward and claimed the acquaint-
anoe of the youth who had been thus un-
expectedly restored. A strange light beam
ed in the young mans eyes as he received
the warm, heart-gushing welcome of the
father of her he loved, and in his soul he
knew that his suit was not rejected. The
mother, too, gave him hearty welcome.
"Now," said Chiron, /" let us know the
secret of your absence, and the events that
have transpired."
"My mother, my mother, first" uttered
Orlando. "Tell me of her."
"She is well, and early in the morning
we will go to her.''
"But does she think have forsaken
her ?"
"No. She sorrows deeply, but she be-
lieves you will come back to her."
Thus assured, the youth took a seat, and
with Ada nestled closely at his side, he
began with his fight from the Jail, and
minutely gave every circumstance to the
present time. The long boat after battling
with the element over week, made land
some two hundred miles south of Cape
Henry, and from thence she was kept close
in shore and made safe passage to James
River.
Many times during the narrative did
Orlando have to go back and explain, or
repeat his words, and when he closed there
was dead silence Of several moments,
broken only by the peroeptible beatings of
Ada's heart.
"Then twas Roosevelt Berkeley who
sought thus your life ?" said the old hunter
at length.
"Yes' returned the youth. "Nolan
told me ALL"
"And the villain would have sold you
into slavery" said Chirop, with a shudder.
"Yes-so he intended. But God per
mitted it not" the youth returned.
"But these sailors" remarked Chiron,
with seeming sudden thought, "I hope
they will not see Berkley till our Plans are
arranged"
"No fear of that left them at the
plantation Of the kings bay, some fifteen
miles below jamestown, with directions
that they should net come up until they
were sent for"
"That Is good" the old hunter uttered.
And now, Mr.. Roswell BerlSley, you are
mine"
"Chiron," said the young man, with a
half emplering, half-earnest look, "knOw
you not now what all this meansf-Why
that wicked man thus hunts me down9''

yet little longer be mine. Blame me not

"Then you had better go at once to ySul

As Orlando followed the barOnet TO tie
room where he was TO rest, Lady Wimple
called Ada to her side, and placing hes
I arms around her slender form, she said
"Ah, my child, / wonder not that you
loved him for who could help its"
"Bless you, mother" murmured Ada,
as the tears of joyous gratitude rolled dowr
her cheeks. al knew you would love him. =

returned. show shall we proceed in this
