low east pale, grayish haze that was
not light, but soft whisper of the Om-
nipotent's command to make it!
NOW for life!" Evan cried, taking
his oar. "Have we water enough?"
''Lots, bossy, outen de lumps," Pete
replied, bending his broad back to the
pull And again the skiff flew onward,
the sounds in the pursuing boat fainter
in the distance.
On, for minutes more, reckoned only
by their heart-beats and regular plash
of oars. Then that eastern haze, fast
growing into semblance of light, made
the shore-line visible. Pete rested on
his oar; and quick turn shot the skiff
around a point and into a creek, black
and tree-arched. Gliding swiftly up
this, until its windings stopped the oars,
Pete shipped his paddle, as he said:
''Dem's dun loss us, sholy! Dis sho's
onbeknown ter dey. va we is!''
The light craft shot through over
hanging foliage, as the gray dawn
touched the cold face of all nature.
And its wan light fell upon the face
of Carolyn Clay, quiet, solemn, but
glorified with joy, as she knelt in the
wet straw and sent her heart up in
Thanksgiving to the Thrones foot.

ORIGIN OF THE WALTZ.

The Now Popular Dance Shocked Our
Great Grandfathers.
1t was Lady Jersey who introduced
IL. and when later the Emperor Alex

eigners gave a strong impetus to the
movement. Its great popularity gives
rise to many disputes as to whence the
waltz originally came, whether from
the old Provencal La Sauteuse." OF

<sIaendler" 1t is most universally
ascribed to the last named. The
"Laendler'' was under the ban of the
authorities as being dangerous to both

hibition it made its way to Vienna.

The character of the dance was, how
ever, greatly changed and modified
the tempo being much accelerated
From Vienna it quickly passed te
France. DIR. Burney saw it performed
in Paris in 1850, and could not help re
flecting: "How uneasy an English
mother would feel to see her daughter
so Familiarity treated, and still more to
note the obliging manner in which the
freedom is returned by the females"
Had he lived few years longer the

''Tell your story in full. and quickly"
''He said, sir, he had imperative duty
in-in Washington, SIR" Evan went on;
and he briefly narrated his capture, inn
prisonment and escape.
The general had seated himself, the
packet unopened in his hand; but the
shadow Of the broad hat hid his bent
face, save for the twitch of his brown
mustache from time to time.
''And no news of Miss Clay since your
capture?" he queried, suddenly.
''She crossed with me, sir. She will

rapidly, his lips moving in accompani-

scroll, he sat silent and still, his head
resting on his hand and his lips still
moving soundlessly, for several min
utes. Suddenly he looked up, a quaint

And the Yankee crew gained with
every pull!
Suddenly a soft jar,-another, harder;
and the black gave great sweep, cry
ing:

boats head swung to his pull and she
glided on again. Pull slower. bossy.

over the water, striving to scan the
shore-line behind him.
But the pause had brought the pur-
suit dangerously near, The glare of
fresh bengola showing her prey well
within it's CLEAN. Raising the torch
high above his head, the officer pointed
to the slower moving craft; and with
his order rang out a dozen shots, bullets

Catch my oar, quickly Evan cried:
but it was Carolyn Clay's hand-even
quicker than Pete's-that grasped it, as
the boy slipped out his long revolver,
steadying the barrel on his left arm and
aiming just above the torch. Before it's
report rang out, the bengal-light
whirled IN air, falling fast into the
water Eut, as It fell, they saw the

CHAPTER XIV.-CoSTINUED.
But the light boat, as though in relief
from imposed sloth, shot through the
darkness like racer, under the desper-
ate pull Of four strong arms.
Behind on the nearest ship were sour
rying feet, mixed oaths and orders, the
boatswain's whistle piping the boats
crew, as the Gayits crcakcd, lowering
the launch.
Onward the quarry sped, faster and
faster, not one word spoken by the trio,
until tie splash of fallen cars, then
their regular beat, told that the pursuit
was up. Then Evan asked, through set
teeth:
How far to shore, Pete?'
"Lcss'n half-1nile, bossy."
''Can we beat them in?"
"No, bossy; not eff tn water'd hold"
This as calmly as the negro had asked
for ''chaw;" but he added: ''Dey's
eight oars I'D oberhaul our two"
Can you shoot, Pete?'' There was a
breezy ring in the boys question, but
the answer came:
Eyes, bossy; but Is not gwine ter.
Pete's gwine ter lam dc missy a-runnin'
dis time.'
But you say they'll catch us?"
All this through desperate pulling,
pursuing oar-beats sounding clearer.
clearer still.
''Ef de water'd hold. Eff we keeps
clar de Jumps, we strikes de flats, an
dem can't foller, sholy-'
Straight on after them came the heavy
ships boat, guided by their oars And
now another bengola flashed up in her,
not reaching the quarry, but showing
the pursuer plainly. Eight sailors bent
strongly to their oars, knot of sailors
standing aft, their rifles at ready" an
officer in the bow holding aloft the
glaring torch.
''How far off is that boat?' Miss Clay
asked, calmly, sitting in the hay. "a
hundred yards?"
Hundred and fifty" Evan answered.
"Pull away, Peter
"'Bout three hun'erd, bossy:" the
black corrected, CLOWN fur de water
distuncc. But she's q gainin', an fass,
too"
On still, with oars strained as though
for very life, swept pursuer and pur-
sued, sweat dripping from Evans every
pore, while the trained black seemed
