CHAPTER XXX.
THE TREASURE HUNT FLINT's
POINTER.

THE IRLASl IKE Ii l. y Liz, :
POINTER.
"Jim," said Silver, when we We're
alone, "if | sayed your life. you saved
mine; and I'll not forget 1t. I seen the
doctor waving you to run for it--with
the tail of my eye, did; and seen you
say no, as plain as hearing. Jim, that's
one to you. This dis the first CLINT of
hope I had since the attack failed, and
! owe it you. And now, Jim, were
to go in for this here rreaSure-hunting,
with sealed orders, too, and don't like
it; and you and me must stick close,
back to back like, and we'll save our
necks in spite o. fate and fortune"
just then a man hailed us from the
fire that breakfast was ready, and we
were soon seated here and there about
the sand over biscuit and fried junk.
They had lighted a fire fit TO roast an
on; and it was now grown so hot that
they could only approach it from the
windward, and even there not without
precaution. In the same wasteful spir-
il, they had cooked, I suppose, three
times more than we could eat; and one
of them, with an empty laugh, threw
what was left into the fire, which blazed
and roared again over this unusual fuel.
l never in my life saw men so careless
of the morrow; hand to mouth is the
only word that can describe their way
of doing; and what with asted food
and sleeping sertries, though they were
bold enough for q brush and be done
with 10, / could see their entire unfitness
for anything like prolonged cam
paign.
Even Silver, eating away, with Capt.
Flint upon his shoulder had not word
Of blame for their recklessness. And
This the more surprised me, for
thought he had never shown himself
SO cunning as he did then,
"Ay, mates" said he, Its lucky you
have Barbecue to think for you with
this here head. got what wanted, l
did. Sure enough, they have the ship.
Where they have it, don't know yet |;
but once we hit the treasure. we'll have
80 jump about ard find out. And then,
mates, Us that has the boats, reckon,
has the upper hand"
Thus he kept running on, with his
mouth full Of the hot bacon; thus he
restored their hope and confidence, and,
| more than suspect, repaired his own
at the same time.
"As for hostage" he continued,
that's his last talk, guess, with them

and bitches for some new stables that
were to be built. I could have had
plenty Of digging without coming sew
eral hundred miles from home. for my
rather had long intended to set new
fence. An excitable young French
man among the recruits seemed some
what OF my way Of thinking, for he
suddenly dropped his shovel and shout
ed:
Il will not dig re hole! I enlist for
Ia slolre, not for dirty work like zis."
"Ah, you wants glory, eh?" said the
German sergeant who seemed engineer
In chief. "Den better It is you 60 back
to your own country, we're dey amt
got no sense"
The Frenchman said something be.
tween his teeth and thrust out his fist.
The sergeant collared the Frenchman
and kicked him all the way to the
guardhouse. There were no protests
after that. Post holes and bitches In
creased rapidly, and I was somewhat
astonished to discover that the short
ditch dug by Phil Hamilton was the
most shapely Of the lot.
We recruits got some comfort after
supper in criticising the movements Of
the cavalry at dress parade. They
marched with less style than the most
awkward company Of the Ninety
ninth, and looked shabby by the lack
Of resemblance in their hats, no two
OF which set alike. although all were
of black felt.
Signs of hospitality continuing to be
invisible, some of us Summerton re-
cruits concluded to spend the night on
the quartermasters hay pile. Virginia
dews. however, had grown cooler In
the month that had elapsed since the
Ninety-ninth went north, and we had
to arise In the middle of the night and
indulge in violent exercise to warm
our blood. We talked great lot too,
so much that the sergeant of the guard
came over to see what was the matter.
When we told him why we were there
and how uncomfortable we were. he
said:
Serves you right. Men whove been
In the service once before and got out
and hadn't sense enough to stay out
deserve all the bad luck they can find"
l was angry and miserable enough
to believe for the moment that he was
nearly half right.

we felt as criminals condemned to
death must feel during the final visit
of their friends. My father-bless his
dear, thoughtful heart--brought down
the entire family and the dog besides
Had 1t not been for that dogs efforts
to explore the hotel and Ned's efforts
to bring him back there would have
been little relief from the gloom Of
which all of us were full. Brainard's
mother seemed to suffer worst Of ALL
She had gone through the agony Of CIV
ing her son away only to get him back
again forever, she supposed. Now he
was a soldier once more. and at scarce
ly an hours notice she was to lose him.
My own misery was doubled by her
sorrow. for was not l to blame for his
being in uniform?
My cousin May tried to put some
cheer into the party. and as she always
laughed heartily at the slightest provo
cation 1t was impossible not to be Of
fected by her spirits. She made CHEEKY
though modest replies to some gallant
speeches which Hamilton addressed to
her, aud she told Mrs. Brainard to
think how much more Charley's quick
wits would be to the nation than the
guns of dozen common men. She
scarcely spoke word to Charley him
self. however. and he looked ut her
only slyly, for, as he told me after
ward, he had caught glimpse of him
self in hotel mirror and felt like q
scarecrow.
A message from the lieutenant broke
up our party, Cloyne departing first,

Cousin May relieved the feelings of all
present by throwing her arms around
Charley's neck and exclaiming:

you are away"
How we got out of that room-why
we did not fall dead at the final part
ing-I do net know. To my memory
that is still the most dismal day Of the
entire war. We took pains not to tell
our families where our rendezvous was
or by what streets we would depart.
We did not know ourselves. Just a
