CHAPTER XVI.

A few hours after he had thrown
the pilot into the sea they gained the
shore so long looked at with anxiety
jerked by the running swell, undulat-
ed and rubbed against each other, as
they rose and fell to the waves break
ing en- the beach. The breeze was
fresh, but the surf was trifling, and
the landing was without difficulty.
Krantz supported Philip to the beach,
and led him to the shade: but after a
minute he rose, and running down to
the nearest point, looked anXiously for
the position of the raft which held
Anime, which was now far, far away.
Krantz had followed, aware that, now
the first paroxysms were past, there
was no fear of Philips throwing away
his life.
Gone, gone forever" exclaimed
Philip, pressing his hands to the balls
of his eyes.
mot so, Philip, the same Provi-
dence which has preserved us will GER
tainly assist her. 1t is impossible
that she can perish among so many
islands, many of which are inhabited;
and a woman will be certain of kind
treatment"
"If l could only think So" replied
Philip.
He and Krantz collected the carpen-
ter's tools, and best arms, and all the
ammunition, as the possession of the
latter would give them an advantage
in case of necessity; they then drag
ged on shore the sail and some small
spars, all Of which they carried up to
a ciump OF cocoanut trees, about hun
bred yards from the beach.
In half an hour they had erected an
humble tent, and put into it what they
had brought with them, with the ex-
ception of the major portion of the
ammunition, which, as soon as he was
screened by the tent, Krantz buried in
a heap of dry sand behind it.
The next day Philip and Krantz had
many serious consultations as to the
means which should be taken for quit
ting the island, and going in search OF
Anime; for although Krantz thought
the latter part of Philips proposal use
less, he did not venture to say so. To
quit this island was necessary; and
provided they gained one of those
which were inhabited It was all that
they could expect. AS for Anime, he
considered that she was dead before

OIlAI L Ell IA .-NOOubliluSN
Although Philip had said little to
Schriften since the separation from
Anime, it was very evident to him and
to Krantz that all the pilots former
bitter feelings had returned. HIS
chuckle, his sarcasms, his "He! he!
were incessant; and his eye was now
as maliciously directed to Philip as it
was when they first met. 1t was evil
dent that Anime alone had for the
time conquered his dispositions; and
that with her disappearance had van
ished all the goodwill of Schriften to-
ward her husband. For this Philip
cared little; he had a much more seri-
Gus weight on his heart-the loss Of
his dear Anime; and he felt reckless
and Indifferent concerning anything
else.
The breeze now freshened, and they
expected that in two hours they would
run on the beach, but they were dis
appointed; the step of the mast gave
way from the force of the wind. and
the sail fell upon the raft. This oc-
casioned great delay; and before they
could repair the mischief the wind
again subsidized, and they were left
about a mile from the beach. Tired
and worn out with his feelings, Philip
at last fell asleep by the side of Krantz
leaving Schriften at the helm. He slept
soundly-he dreamed of Amine-he
thought she was under a grove of
cocoanuts, in a sweet Sleep that he
stood by and watched her. and that

INJURED Philip" when suddenly he was
awakened by some unusual movement.
Half dreaming still, he thought that
Schriften. the pilot had in his sleep
been attempting to gain his relic, had
passed the chain over his head, and
was removing quietly from underneath
his neck any portion of the chain,
which, in his reclining posture, he lay
upon. Startled at the idea, he threw
up his hand to seize the arm of the
wretch, and found that he had really
seized hold of Schrlften, who was
kneeling by him, and in possession of
the chain and relic. The struggle was
short, the relic was recovered, and the
pilot lay at the mercy of Philip, who
held him down with his knee on his
chest. Philip replaced the relic on his
bosom, and, excited to madness, rose
from the body of the now breathless
Schriften. caught it in his arms, and
! hurled 1t into the sea.
MAN or devil! l care not which,
exclaimed Philip. breathless, escape
now, II you cant"
The struggle had already reused up
Krantz and others, but not in time to
prevent Philip from wrec King his ven
geance upon Schriften. In a few words
he told Krantz what had passed; as
for the men, they cared not; they laid
their heads down again, and, satisfied
that their money was safe, inquired nc
further.
Philip watched to see If Schriften
would rise up again, and try to regain
the raft; but he did not make his APP
pearance above water, and Philip felt
satisfied.

rant spring dress saddened him.
In timid, hesitating way he had
made a few inquiries for old friends,
but the answer was ever the same.
War had scattered most of the old fam
lilies. Those alone remained who slept
in the peaceful cemetery in the dip
which formed a vale at the bend in
the river.
And the Ralstons?"
All were gone. OF the impetuous,
high spirited family, only Miss Erma
was still alive. The Ralston boys
four of them-lay in soldiers graves
beside their gallant father.
Mrs. Ralston had seen her brave
boys brought HON dead one by one.
But she gave them for her country
sake, gladly, but her heart was slowly
breaking. She did not long survive
her husband
Did Miss Erma still live at Iron
wood?"
No. The old plantation was desolate
and Miss Ralston lived in a little white
cottage down the road, the one al
most smothered in jasmine red roses.
The gentleman took his cane and
with a brisk step which told of some
young blood still flowing in his veias,
started down the street in the warm
spring sunshine. The square shout
.ders, erect head and firm tread all be-
spoke the soldier.
AS he came in sight Of Miss Erma S
house his steady walk became jerky
and finally settled into an uncertain
amble. For the fraction of a second
he paused at her gate, then beat a
hasty and confused retreat. Complete
ly out of breath he drew up beside the
high arched gate which opened upon
the soldiers last tenting ground.

CHAPTER XVII

The raft was found to answer well,
and although her progress through tho
water was not very rapid. she obeyed
the helm and was under command
Both Philip and Krantz were very
careful in taking such marks and OBJ
servations of the island as should en-
able them, If necessary, to find IL
again. With the current to assist
them they now proceeded rapidly to
the southwark, in order that they
might examine a large island which
lay in that direction. Their object.
after seeking for Anime was to find
out the direction of Ternate, the king
of which they knew to be variance
with the Portuguese, who had fort
and factory at Tidroe, not very far
distant from 1t; and from thence to
OBTAIN a passage in one of the Chinese
junks, which on their way to Ban
tam, called at that island.
Toward evening they had neared the
large island, and they soon ran down
it close to the beach. Philips eyes
wandered in every direction to ascer-
tain the presence of Amine's raft. but
he could perceive nothing OF the kind,
nor did he see any inhabitants.
That they might not pass the object
of their search during the night, they
ran their raft ashore, in a small cove
where the waters were quite smooth,
and remained there until the next
morning, when they again made sail
and prosecuted their voyage.
They sailed all day and when night
came put up their bark for safety in a
cove they came across.
Before morning strong breeze,
right on shore, had sprung up, and the
surf became so high as to endanger
the raft; to continue their course was
! impossible; they could only haul up
their raft to prevent its being dashed
to pieces by the force of the waves as
the seas broke on the shore. Philips
thoughts were, as usual, upon Anime:
and as he watched the tossing waters.
as the sunbeams lightened up their
crests, he exclaimed, ocean, hast thou
my Anime? If so, give up thy deadl
What is that?" continued he, pointing
to a speck on the horizon.
"The sail of small craft Of some
description or another" replied
Krantz; "and apparently coming down
before the wind to shelter herself in
the very nook we have selected"
You are right; it is the sail OF a
vessel-one of those peroquas which
skim over these seas; how she rises on
the swell! She is full of men appar-
emily"
The peroqua rapidly approached,
and was soon close to the beach; the
sail was lowered and she was backed
in through the surf.
Resistance is useless should they
prove enemies" observed Philip. I'VE
shall soon know our fate"
The people in the peroqua took no
notice of them until the craft had been
hauled up and secured; three of them
then advanced toward Philip and
Krantz, with spears in their hands,
but evidently with no hostile inten-
lions. One addressed them in Portu-
guese, asking them who they were.

with a groan, and the sword was again
passed through his body.
"Said not so? But the treacherous
villain shall not reap his reward. con-
tinued Krantz, leveling the musket
which he held in his hand. and shoot
ing him dead.
The following morning they hoisted
their sail and quilted the island. Need
it be said in what direction they steer
ed? AS may be well imagined, in that
quarter where they had last seen tho
raft with the isolated Anime.

MERRILL FREMONT"
Born 1888. Killed at Gettysburg

"Why, that's my name!" and the
old man looked about him in a dazed
manner as though for a moment he
doubted his identity.

smiled grimly. But I'm not dead"
and he thumped his cane vigorously
upon the gravel path.
He leaned his hands on his stick
and stood gazing intently at his own
name.

soldier buried for me. and he shall
have some flowers. Yes. I'll deco
rate my own grave" and with a
chuckle Merrill Fremont started brisk
ly down the path.
AS he neared the gate it opened, and
a tall, slender figure clad in black en-
tered. followed by an old negro fairly
staggering under the weight of mag
nolia blossoms. Something familiar in
the two figures made Fremont pause.
But they did not notice him. The lady
turned up a side path and walked
quickly toward the end OF the grounds
Merrill had just quilted, followed more
slowly by the old serving man.
Merrill faced about and watched
them. He was certain now that the
woman was Erma. He expected her
to enter the Ralston lot, but she only
paused, waved her hand toward the
fower-hidden graves, said something
to her attendant and passed on her way
until she stood beside the undecorated
grave.
Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared
The lady motioned to negro to lay
his fragrant burden down.

was near enough to hear the well-re-
membered voice say, You may 60

path he had come, while his mistress

brow. "whew, how her eyes did blaze!
Facing a cannon is play to standing

He leaned against the post. The
light died out of his face and he
thought of that long away time when
he and Erma had been lovers. And
then came the war. How quickly had
followed that awful day when he went
to say farewell and she would not look
at him, because he wore the hated
blue. He tried to argue, tried to per-
suade, but she would not listen.

of her lover, without calling him to
fight against instead of for her?
How clearly he could see her as she
stood then on the low, wide steps, a
slim. girlish figure clad in clingng
white. Her cheeks were flushed and
her mouth tremulous, but the chin was
firmly set. All through the war he
had carried in his heart the memory
of her as she stood in the sunshine,
framed by the stately pillars Of the
gallery; while he, with despair in his
heart, but a logged determination in
his eyes, turned, when half way down
the broad avenue of live oaks, and lift
ing his union cap murmured, God
