THE LONG-WINDED TALKEB.

Men are often talked to deth.
It IL a hard deth to die.
1t is often the case that they hav to

The lOng-winded taIker IL wuss than

While he IL a talking to yu he il al

He will hold yu bi the button and

Long-winded takers are the very

mo, Simon It VIII not do for both OF
Us to leave the works at the same time
again. Had you remained behind last
night feel sure the disaster would not
have happened, You must stay here,
Simon. You must stay in the fort at all
hazards.
Simon, seeing that the young Captain
was SO earnest in his determination for
him to stay, consented.
Then, with only Jack Hatchet and ST
Cole, the young officer went through
an embrasure on the northwest side of
the earthWorks and hurTird up the hill
into q dense wood, which would cover
them until they were at a point from
whence they could get an observation Of
the retTeating enemy.
Look sharp" continued Captain Al
ton; the enemy has beyond a doubt left
some spies behind who viii see US. and
we may have shaFpshoOters blazing away
at as before We are aware of their pres
ence.
You needn't be skeered, Griff, on my
account, said the blacksmith who car
ried his long rife in both hands, as if he
was nearing a deer. I'm Jest gOin' to
git the first shot on them fellers when 1
git in sight o them, an I'll drop the fust
drafted red-coat I see.
Il say. Griff, amt that One?" asked the
shoemaker, pointing across dark IA
vine.
Hold moment. said Griffith, laying
his hand on the bIacksmith's gun-barreI,
don't be too rash, or you viii spoil every
thing. The man does not sse you,
No; but, Grih, kin jest lay him out
in less than no time"
Don't you fire. Jack. Conceal your
selves, and let US see what he does.
Only the dim outline of q man in the dis
lance could be seen. He was walking
deliberately and slowly across the hill,
and was almost completely screened by
the trees.
Although Griffith Alton could onIypar-
TALLY catch a glimpse of the man, he dis
covered that he wore epaulettes and q
sword.
Its an officer, said our hero to him
/ self, Then turning to his companions he
| added in an UNDERGONE:
Jack-Si, remain here; don't go away
under any circumstances, and L will be
/ back SOON"
The two Americans at the bidding of
/ their commander concealed themselves
/ in a thicket, where they remained in a
! squatting position with rifles cooked.
Creeping stealthily forward from tree
/ to bush, Capt. Alton reached the crest of
/ the hill. There was narrow valley be-
! low him, surrounded by thick wood.
! No one was in sight. He descended to
the valley, stepped out into the opening,
! and glanced about him.
/ Where can he have gomez" he asked
! himself. At this moment the bushes a
little farther up the valley on his left
! parted, and there stepped out man
! clothed in the uniform of a British Off
! Ger. He was not ten PAGES from Capt.
Alton, and at the same instant both men
! recognized each other.
| 1t was Major Bridges, our herO's old

ABOARD THE XENOPHON

Ola GatreIl had been carried a consid-
cradle distance before she recovered her
consciousness. OF course she was not
little bewildered at first, and consequent
" utterly incapable of telling where she
was.
She found herself being hurried along
the seashOre in the arms of some one.
There were following at a short distance
three or four others, for she occasionally
he1rd them speak to each other.
Once or twice she made an effort to cry
out, but found herself under some
strange influence which seemed to ut
terly deprive her of speech.
She was sure they were going through
the woods, for she could hear the rustiing
of leaves, and even feel them brush her
person.
How did I come here and where am I?"
the unfortunate. girl asked herself.
She now remembered having lain down
upon the bed. She was not in her room,
but beng carried away.
By degrees the horrible truth dawned
upon her. She was being abducted.
Again she tried to scream aloud, but as
yet was too much under the influence of
the narcotic to give utterance to any out
cry.
Her eaptors carried her through a thick
wood and came to an open space. It was
while crossing this that she gave utter
anoe to the cry which reached her lover
ears.
Old hup. my beauty" said her cap
tor, clapping his hand o er her mouth.

GRHFITB AND MAJOR BRIDGES

GRIFFITH AND MAJOR BRIDGES.
1t was with feelings of deepest despair
that Griffith Alton retired from the
belch after the shell had been thrown at
his party.
"Cap'n, they've outwitted US this time,
said Simon. "It's the most plaguey mean
trick that ever was done, too. Who'd
a thought ye could a skeered up a set O.
men. even among the pesky EedcOats,
that'd go in an carry gal away as they
did that gala"
at is infamous aud cowardly, and Will
result in their ruin, said Captain Al
ton, almost Wild with desperation. They
have done that which, even as q war
policy would be condemned by the
heather"
The party hurried as rapidly az they
could to the village, where they found the
most intense excitement prevailing. The
nurse had discovered the strange disap-
pearance Of Ola and communicated the
fact to others, so 1t had spread all over
the village.
The absence Of both Captain Alton and
Simon left the defenders of the village
without a leader.
II know who's the cause o. all this, +"
said Henry Small to Griffith, when he had
returned and in a measure restored quiet.
Its them fellers We got in prison. It's
the deserter o. that ship, the Aenophon,
who is the cause O. all this.
He is notl" said Griffith, holly. You
have all along been accusing those men
wrOngfully.
-OR, now, Griffith, ye've got the wool
completely pulled over your eyes, said
the carpenter, touching GElmth's arm
