THE MAN OF TIE ISLAND.

THE MAN OF THE ISLAND.
From the side of the hill, which was
here steep and stony, a spout OF gravel
was dislodged and fell rafting and
bounding through the trees. Ny eyes
turned instinctively in that direction,
and l saw figure leap with great rapid
ity behind the trunk OF pine. What it
was, whether bear or man or monkey,
could in no wise tell. 1t seemed dark
and shaggy; more knew not. But the
terror of the new apparition brought
me to a stand.
was now, ii seemed, cut off upon
both sides; behind me the murderers,
before me this lurking gnOndescript. And
Immediately 1 began to prefer the dan
gers that 1 knew to those knew not.
Silver himself appeared less terrible in
contrast with this creature of the
woods, and / turned on my heel, and,
looking sharply behind me over my
shoulder, began TO retrace my steps in
the direction of the boats.
Instantly the figure reappeared, and.
making wide circuit, began TO head
me off. 1 was tired, at any rate; but

could see il was in vain for me TO con-
tend in speed such an adversary. From
trunk to trunk the creature fitted like
q deer, running man-like on two legs,
but unlike any man that | had ever
seen, STOPPING almost double as it ran.
Yet a man il was. 1 could no longer be
in doubt about that
I began TO recall what l had heard OF

he was n man, however wild, had some
what reassured me, and my fear Of Sill

stood still, therefore, and cast about
for some method OF escape; and as
was so thinking, the recollection OF my
pistol flashed into my mind. As soon
as membered I was not defenseless,
courage glowed again in my heart;
and / set my face resolutely for this
man of the island, and walked briskly
toward him.
He was concealed by this time, be
hind another tree trunk; but he must
have been watching me closely, for as
soon as / began TO move In his direction
he reappeared and took step to meet
me. Then he hesitated, drew back

n half of water, so that we could see
the bright steel shining far below us
in the sun, on the clear. sandy bottom.
By this time the tide was beginning
TO ebb, and the ship was swinging
around 10 her anchor. Voices were

There was a pause.
"Come, my fine fellow" continued
the captain, don't hang so long in

lives of these good gentlemen, every

There was a sudden scuffle, sound

to grow more quiet, and to settle again
to their places in the swamp.
And now l began to feel that was

marsh, and closely set about with trees,

of the crew stood face to face in con-

The sun beat full upon them. Silver

ground, and his great, smooth, blonde
