The shadows Of evening were now
spreading themselves over the woods,
and rock and tree began 70 mlngls to-
sethsr IL was evidently too late 10 at

indeed. Wolfert had come unpFepared

searches. Satisfied. therefore. with hsv-
ing ascertained the place, he took note
ot AL rs landmarks. that he might recog-

golden enterprise without delay.
The leading anxiety which had hither-
to Nsorbed every feeling being now in
some measure sppeased. fancy began 10
wander, and 10 conJure up a thousand
shapes and chimeras as he returned
through this haunted region. Pirates
hanging In chains seemed 10 swing on
every tree, and he almost expected TO
see some Spanish Don, with his throat
cut from ear 70 car. rising slowly out If
the ground, and shaking the ghost Of a
money bag.
Their way back lay through the desc
late garden. and Wolfert's nerves had
arrived at 50 sensitive state that the
fitting OF bird, the rustling OF leaf.

startle him AS they entered the con-
fines Of the garden, they caught sight Of
figure at distance advancing slowly
up one Of the walks and bending under
the weight Of burden. They paused
and regarded him attentively. He wore
what appeared TO be a woolen cap, and
still more alarming, of a most sangui-
nary red. The figure moved slowly on,
ascended the bank, and stopped 81 the
very door of the sepulchral vault Just
before entering he looked around.
What was the horror Of Wolfert when
he recognized the grizzly visage of the
drowned buccareer. He uttered an eiac-
alation of horror. The figure slowly
raised his iron fist and shook it with q
terrible menace. Wolfert did not pause

in following al his heels, having all his
ancient terrors rivived. Away. then,
did they scramble, through bush and
brake, horribly frightened at every bram-
bic that tagged at their skirts. nor did
they pause to breathe, until they had
blundered their way through this peril
GUS wood and had fairly reached the
