with sunburst on the breast, and a
double fllet in the hair, immense and
magnificent stones that seemed to

with spirit Of their own. There were,
OF course, none like them in the house,
and she wore them as if they were a
ribbon. "When she comes into her
box" the old Chevalier st. Malo
said, 81 see the stars rise in the sky"
There had been innumerable contes
told about those diamonds. They had
been in the possession of the Beauxlieux

that men knew to the contrary. The
Beauxlieux of that day had spoiled the

that no woman of all that proud and

nonchalance of the present duchess.

cure OF the red lips opening on a
smile that took one captive, it was
hardly a wonder that the last duke had
married her from her home in the
Bases Pyrenees, without portion.
The duke had gone down to his
estates in the islands with couple of
friends for some shooting. At least
that was his errand ostensibly. In re-
slity he had crossed the border to meet
a representative Of the Spanish court in

said the duKe.
And at that moment the door opened,
and a young girl entered with candles
in her hand. She advanced and placed
them on the table, and turned and
made reverence to her father and his
quests. letting the lids fall over two
eyes as black as midnight stars, as soft
and lustrous as May moons.
She wore a plain gown of white wool,
with silver girdle, and her long,
black hair, plated in great braids, fell
over either shoulder in front nearly to
her knees. s'Grands Dieux!' murmured

''My house is yours" was the reply.
''Take the brides, Ambroise!' And an
other old man who followed him
closed and barred the gate and led
away the horses, while his master
threw open the inner door and bade his
guests enter.
As the duke glanced at the arms
carved above the great door, 1T is

low tone to NJ Etienne. "He was one

"A thousand pardons!" said the duke.
"All the world knows the distin-

and that he has only to take his place
in the world and give allegiance to the
king to have new honors thrust upon
him. And none would greet him more
eagerly there than his servant, Duke
,des Sarazines Beauxlieux,' with an
offer Of the hand that the old baron
could do no less than accept with as
stately an air as it was given.
But the inside of the tower attested

CHAPTER XII

The galley bent over to the wind and
sped away, and watched her go with
out regret, not thinking of our own hap,
less condition, but only of the brutal fe-
rocity of that mad crew aboard her.
Their shouts of joy and diabolical
laughter died away, and there was no
sound but the tapping of the waves
against the felucca's side. They had
done their work thoroughly. Not a
moan arose from the heaps of butchered
men, not limb moved, but all were
rigid, some lying in grotesque postures
as the death agony had drawn them,
and after the tumult that had prevailed
this stiffness of death was terrific. From
looking over this CHASTITY picture turn
ed and clutched at Dawson's hand for
some comforting sense of life and hui
manity.
We were startled at this moment by a
light laugh from the cabin, whittier Mr..
Goodwin had carried Moll, fainting with
the horror of this bloody business, and
going in there now we found her now
lying in q little crib, light headed,
clean ont of her wits indeed, for she
fancied herself ON the dusty road to Va
lencia, taking her first lesson in the
fandango from Don Sanchez Mr.. God
win nelt by the cot side, with his arm
supporting her head and soothing her
the best he could We found little
casz of water and cup that he might
give her drink, and then, seeing we
could be of no further service, Dawson
and went from the cabin, our thoughts
swaking now to the peril of our posi-
ton, without sail in midsea.
And first we cast our eyes all round
about the seaN butlwe could descry no
sail save the gafIe9--and that at a great
dtstance-nor any Sign of land. Next,

four, Mr.. Goodwin holding .M6Il's hand
in his, stood in group betwixt Mohand
and his men, who stood behind, waiting
his orders. One of the janizaries was
drawing his cutlass, but Mohand babe
him put it up, and making an obeisance
to Moll he told us we should suffer no
hurt if we surrendered peaceably.
"Never, you Turkish thiefp' cries
Dawson, shaking his fist at him.
Mohand makes gesture of regret, and
turning to his men tells them to take us,
but to use no weapons, since we had
none. Then, he himself leading with
his eyes fixed hungrily upon Moll, the
rest came on, and we fell back toward
the cabin.
The next instant, with wild yell of
fury, the hidden men burst out of the
cabin, and then followed a scene of
butchery which I pray heaven it may
neyermore be my fate to witness.
Groves was the first to spill blood.
Leaping upon Mohand, he buried long
curved knife right up to the hilt in the
neck of Mohand, striking downward
just over the collar bone, and he fell,
the blood squirting from his mouth upon
the deck At the same time our men,
falling upon the janizaries, did most
horrid battle-nay, twas no battle, but
sheer butchery, for these men, being
taken SO suddenly, had no time to draw
their weapons and could only fly to the
fore end of the boat for escape, where,
by reason of their number and the mar
row confines of the deck, they were so
packed and huddled together that none
could raise his hand to ward blow
even, and so stood, writing, shrek
ing mass of humanity, to be hacked and
stabbed and ripped and cut down to
their death.
And their butchers had no mercy.
They could think only of their past
wrongs and of satiating the thirst for
vengeance, which had grown to mad
ness by previous restraint.
There's for 10 years of misery"
cries one, driving his spike into the
heart of one "Take that for hanging of
my brother" screams a second, cleav-

ing Moor's skull with his Ratchet.
"Quits for turning an honest lad into a
devil" calls third, drawing his knife
across the throat of shrieking wretch,
and so forth, till not one of all the crowd
was left to murder.
Then, still devoured by their lust for
blood, they swarmed over the side of
the galley to finish this massacre,
Groves leading, with shout of "No
quarterp' and all echoing these words
with a roar Of joy. But here they We're
met with some sort of resistance, for
the Moors aboard, seeing the fate Of
their comrades, forewarning them of
theirs, had turned their swivel gun
about, and now fired the ball, carrying
off the head of Joe Groves, the best
man of all that crew, if one were better
than another.
But this only served to incense the
rest the more, and so they went at their
cruel work again and ceased not till the
last of their enemies was dead. Then,
with wild hurrah, they signal their
triumph, and one fellow, holding up his
bloody hands, smears them over his face
with a devilish scream of laughter.
And now, caring no more for us or
what might befall us than for the Turks
who lay all mangled ON our deck, one
cuts away the tackle lat lashes their
galley to us, while the rest haul up the
sail, and so they go their way, leaving
MS to shift for ourselves.

CHAPTER xxx.

So Groves, as my man was named,
told me how he and eight other poor
Englishmen, sharing the same bagnio,
had endured the hardships and misery Of
slavery, some for 10 and none less than
seven years; how for three years they
had been working a secret tunnel by
which they could escape from their
bagnio, in which they were locked up
every night at shutdown, at any moment;
how for six months, since the compile
ton of their tunnel, they had been
watching favorable opportunity to seize
a ship and make good their escape, seven
of them being mariners, and how now
they were by tedious suspense wrought
to such a pitch Of desperation that they
were ripe for any means of winning their
freedom. "And here, " says he in con-
clusion, ''hath merciful Providence.

heroism and devotion redeemed not only

Thus did JOY beguile us into a false

weAe greatly surprised to find that the
sail chartered by Don Sanchez was no

wefpresently learned was that, the dey

British feet at Tangiers, he had COM

to be gone from the port by daybreak.
This put us to quake, for in view of

trepidation and doubt as to how we, be-

should be bombarded as we expected,
and never did we wish our own coun-
trymen farther. Only our Moll and her
husband did seem careless in their hap
piness, for so they might die in each

faced death with a smile upon their

However, a week passing and no sign of
any English flag upon the seas the public
apprehension subsidized, and now we began
very seriously to compass our return to
Elche, our traders passes-that is, Daw-
sons and mine-being run out within a
week, and we knowing full well that
we should not get them renewed after
this late menace of an English attack

we tried every captain in the port, but
all to no purpose. And one of these did
openly tell me the dey had forbidden
any stranger to be carried out of the
town, on pain of having his vessel con-
fiscated and being bastinadoed to his
last endurance.
