very strong affair and in height and
bigness was sufficient for little

twice, when the door was slowly
opened and an old negro put out his
head.
"All's well, Tonic. These are the
friends went to seek"
The old fellow looked at us little
suspiciously, thought, but without
objection stood aside.
"These quarters" said the captain,
turning to us, belong to Don Enrique

We readily did SO, for he was one OF
the grandees of the Pilanca.

As he spoke a door shut and man
came out at the head of the stairs.
Even in the dim light recognized him
at once as the old Spaniard.
He was tall, spare, erect man, with
plenty of gray in his beard and hair

All, come with Ae, senores, and assure
these poor creatures that you will
succor them!"
Lead on, senor,"'I said, not little
touched. "Be assured we will do what
we can"
He lost no more time, but led us
hastily to rear chamber, where he
threw open the door. Two ladies were
within, who quickly rose.
The shutters of the windows were
open, for the room looked out on an
inclosed court, and the bright sun
light, checked merely by the draperies,
brought out everything clearly.
Immediately recognized Dona Isa-
bella. She was small and slight, with
a proud, handsome face, but faded
skin, and was richly dressed with many
bright ribbons and ornaments. Dona
Carmen was, as instantly perceived,
passing beautiful. Something tall, and
yet Of such proportions that she scarce
seemed so, she all but startled me with
the unusual combination of yellow hair,
great Spanish black eyes--I mean those
with the wonderful long lasbes-a skin
SaXon-fair, nose, mouth and chin deli
cate and in exact harmony, and en- eX-
preston vivacious and to appearance in
telligent.
Don Enrique now fourished us for
ward.
Isabella, and you, poor Carmen, here
are the brave English friends of Capt.
Giles" he said. "Take heart and thank
the Virgin, for they have come to de-
liver us!"
Each lady in turn dropped stately
Spanish courtesy, and with more reso-
luton than l had looked for, though,
to be sure, unsteadily, thanked us.
"Well, what is to be done?" said /.
The captain looked at Mr.. Tym, and
the latter, after moments hesitation,
said:
"Let us first understand our bearings,
captain. What are the private ways
out of this place?"
"By the gardens" answered Sellinger,
"and rearward through court to n
narrow street. Thence it is straight
course to the water"
"These gardens border upon whatP'
considerable streets"
"And the ships and boats have all
been taken, and our fellows will have
an eye upon the water front" said
Mr.. Tym, shaking his head. THAT will
not do"
We were silent for a bit, | racloing
my brains TO hit upon something, when
he suddenly resumed: 81 have a
thought. What is to prevent.us from
claiming these people as our slavesP
That will be but one each, which must

Tragedy.

can vouch for the truth of the fol-
lowing interesting case of clairvoy-
ance: On August u young man
named Livio Cibrario, belonging 10 one
of the most ancient families of Turin,
while attempting to climb the peak of
Rocciamelone, in the Maritime Alps,
lost his way, end on the following
morning search party found his body,
terribly crushed and bruised, at the
bottom OF deep creyasse.
Count Cibrario, the unfortunate
young mans father, who was at Turin,
and knew nothing of his sons expedi-
ton to the Rocciamelone, on the night
of the accident aroused the rest of the
family, announcing with tears that
Livio was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly, he said, blood flowing from his
battered head, and had heard these
words spoken in voice of terrible an
guish
Father, ! slipped down a precipice
and broke my head, and l am dead,
quite deau.
The other members Of the family
tried in vain to persuade the poor
count that the ghastly vision was
nothing but a nightmare, and the be-
reaved father continued in state OF
anxiety bordering upon distraction till
the morning, when the official confr-
nation of the terrible accident
reached MIN.
This case of telepathy, or whatever
name may be given to similar phe-
nomena, is considered all the more re-
markable as Count Cibrario is very
quiet, matter-of-fact person, and has

It is not probable that the following
from the letter of an American in the
early sos is entirely authentic: "At
sunset we reached Gaeta. This place
nbounds in historical interest, and it is
here that the pope found refuge when
he fed from the republic in 1S49.
Among the stories of the place is one to
the effect that the pope and the king
of Naples, who had come to visit him
in exile, went on board an American
man-of-war. The commander well
coined them in these terms: Pope, how

CHAPTER XIV-CoNTINUED.

At daybreak the trumpets were
blown, and the companies assembled
pader their respective leaders. Break
last was hastily eaten, no delays being
made for cookery, but all taken cold,
and shortly the word was given to
march. A little before this we had
learned that Morgan's plan was to pro-
ceed first to the governors castle,
making Il stern show of warlike force
On the way, and there Morgan himself
would remain, keeping with him 90
men, and the rest were to scatter and
plunder and ravage at will. Certain
rules, however, were to be observed,
Que being that all must deposit their
spoil in the hall of the castle, where
II should remain till the final decision;
another was that prisoners-that is,
Eayes-were to remain the property
Of those who seized them. If, never
theless, it was added, any desired to
bring their slaves to the castle, having
a mind to sell them there, they could
90 so, and such slares should be guard
ed and cared for till their disposal.
The sun was creeping up and the
breeze had fallen when at last we
taught step and set forward down the
chief street of the city. The drums
we're beating splritedly and the trum-
pets sounded thrilling blasts, and with
orr soldierly array, the headpieces,
rairasses and musket barrels flashing
ia the sun, thought we presented n
line and altogether awing spectacle.
The place was deathly quiet. Every
house was closed, and as far rs we
could see down the street not person
was in sight. Still we travelled along,
and at last, just as | was wondering at
the extent of this part Of the city, the
street ended, and we broke out into a
considerable square, or plaza. Here
The buildings were large and of more
pretentious sort than any we had yet
seen. All were of stone, some OF a
brown or reddish color, and some OF
rommon stone well set in red cement,
but few were above three stories in
height. The roofs of all were fiat, and
most had low parapets, on which stood
pots Of bright flowers or handsome
shrubs, and the walls of some we're
nearly covered with climbing green
cry. Like the. street we had left, the
plaza was completely deserted, the
shutters Of every building around be
fog up.

"Hoots!" said Mac Ivrach, in low
tone, "but they hae secreted ilka dog
and cat as well as theirsels. Iwad be
wishing for bit stir O. some sort. Sic
stiffness no seems canny."
This conceive pretty well expressed
the feelings of us all, who felt kind
of oppression in the continued silence.
Morgan had halted moment, but
presently Lad us forward again, and
without any interruption or change in
the appearance of things we continued
on till we reached the castle. This was
considerable stone structure, stand
ing on the top of little plateau, and
was defended by high walls and one
strong tower.
1t looked as though this were an ex-
cellent place for mine or other de-
vice, but l was speedily told that this
fear was unfounded, for the place had
been entered and the chief rooms eX-
plored, but nothing in the nature of a
trap had been found. The keys had
been given to Morgan, and the guns
spiked.
We were but a moment in entering,
and while one of the captains, at Nor
gan's command, went up to haul down
the Spanish flag and put our own in its
place, the different companies were
formed up in their order, and the last
words Of advice and command given,
Among other things, all were hidden
to be sparing of the wine till it was
proven that it was not poisoned, to re-
turn to the castle at nightfall, and to
hasten thither at once if two success
sive cannon shots were fired. These
were to mean some sudden or immi-
nent danger.
All this being attended to, the com
panies, save the picked detail to re-
main with Morgan, broke ranks anG
shortly quilted the castle.
"There to be removed from the hor
rors we must see, here?" I answered
81 am favorable to it,"
"And l." said Mac Ivrach.
But the words were scarce out of hi:
mouth when a man came running ou
of the opening of the neighbor street
and on seeing us pulled up short.
"Saunts and angels defend us!" CRIED
Mac Ivrach, fairly staggering back
''The gaist O. the captain!"
For, indeed the man appeared to b'
no other than Capt. Sellinger.

At an ancient church at Valsbol, in
Russia, it has been customary for the
congregation to turn to blank wall
and bow reverently before leaving the
church Why they did this nobody
knew except that their forefathers had
done so. and had handed down the GUS
tom. In making some repairs recently
the origin of the custom was dicoyered,
for beneath many layers of whitewash
and paint n picture was found of the
Virgin Mary, which must have stood
out brilliantly on the wall five OF six
centuries ago.
