mighty spring. he Ieaped into their midst
and, Selling Gaspard de Vincent by the
shoulders, hurled him violently to the
ground. Louise de Longueyille, with a
scream of terror. fled toward the fort
The huge Frenchman, recovering from
his terror at the suddenness of the at
tack, arose by superhuman effort, and
grappled with his assailant, and, being a
more powerful man, forced him backward
toward the log. Maddened by the cruelty
and injustice of his treatment, Thorn
hurst, put forth all his strength and, by
a dexterous turn, managed to throw the
Frenchman heavily over the log. The
sound of the struggle had by this time
attracted the nearest sentries and alarm
cd the fort, from which several colonists
now rushed to the scene, and seizing
both, awaited explanations.
Behold the traitor-behold the spy!'
gasped Thornhurst. Behold the man
who consDired with Wanchese to capture
me and destroy the cOlony!'
With cry of rage they turned upon
the Frenchman as if to tear him limb
from limb. One more desperate than his
fellows, pointed a pistol at the traitors
breast, but Edward Thornhurst seized
the would-be executiOner's arm and
caused the ball to whistle harmlessly
through the air.
Men" exclaimed Thornhurst," l have
suffered more at the hands of this de-
mon, de Vincent than any of ye. But
let us spare his life on one condition:
That he reveal why he entered into such
an unusual conspiracy"
The others gave reluctant acquiescanee
and de Vincent, in a snarling, complain
mig tone, told how he with the woman,
had been hired by a secret agent of
Spain to bring to naught England's col
onization schemes in Virginia. When he
came to that part of the nara
ton where Thornhurst was captured by
two Of Wanchese's spies for the purpose
of being frightened into securing for the
Indians an easy access to the fort the
colonists could scarcely restrain their
anger but mindful of the promise made
to Thornhurst, led the prisoner manaclcd |

1T was morning when they reached
Roanoke, and the roses Of the dawn had
not yet faded from the horizon, nor the
purple from the sea rolling gently in the
distance. About the fort was no appear
ance of life, but the Indians knew that
death awaited him who ventured there
with no better signal than the show of
peace. So a conference was held to de-
terInine who should approach the fort.
Manteo Immediately announced that he
would take the duty upon himself, since
having been in England, he knew some
English. He had hardly finished when
Avoca spoke:

saying in her own soft dialect, and with
out waiting reply, she sprang from the
group Of astonished Indians, and ran
speedily toward the fort They watched
her progress breathlessly, thinking each
moment to see her fall pierced by a shot
But no sound came from the fort; the
slim graceful form arrived safely under
the very mouth of the cannon protruding
through the wall. At last the great
door swung open and solitary figure
came forth He took the maiden's hand
in his, and after standing thus for a mo-
ment they turned and approached the
distant group of Indians Very proudly
he walked with the graceful figure at his
side, and Manteo, straining his dim old
eyes, to see this strange sight, noted that
Avoca's companion was the chief with

CHAPTER III.

Through the forest, softly, silently as a
shadow, an Indian maiden sped on her
way. With tireless feet she spurned the
deW-wet earth for hours, her guide the
instinct of the wild wood, her light the
moon beams shimmering family through
the somber trees. Onward she swept
past pine trees and cypress; past dells
aglow with fox-fre; past mighty oaks
gray-bearded with hanging MOSES, till
she paused in village, whose cone
shaped teepees stood out black against
the sky. Then she crept to the largest
one and smote lightly upon the dried
folds of deerskin, crying, 'Manteo,
Manteo, go the English-go save the
chief with the yellow hair!' Then
Manteo, the wakeful, hearing, as
he thought, the voice of a spirit, arose
and came forth, the wrinkles of his
strong face showing clearly in the moon
light.
What do you here, 0 daughter of
Wanchese, when all but Manteo and the
moon sleep?" he asked kindly.
THE English anchese kills the Eng
lish when the moon sleeps!" she cried in
note of agony. go and save them,
Manteo-save!"
Manteo regarded her q moment medi-
tatively, then gave a shrill cry, and, one
by one, the braves tumbled out of their
teppees to answer his call. His instruc-
tions were few, but quickly understood,
and not more quickly understood than
obeyed. Hasting to the river, they en-
tered their canoes, and soon strong arms
with rhythmic splash OF paddles, bore
them steadily ownward to the rescue of
the Englishmen. In the foremost canoe,
with Mantco, sat Avoca, the daughter of
Wanchese, silent and straight, her eyes
flashing like jewels-her one thought, her
one purpose-to defeat her father. to

JOHN BULL, JUNGLE"
Many Loans Made by That Country
Will Never Be Repaid.

There is not country in the world
which has mot had to borrow money from
these isles says "Pearson's Weekly
and there are few governments which
when they've been in Queer street.
Guatemala has borrowed a large
amount of British capital. How do mat
tiers stand to-day? The bonds for E1OO
and there has been no payment of inter-
est since June, 1899. Even then. only Il
paltry per cent. was paid and half of
that was not cash.
are dear at e5. All this is owing to the
fact that Honduras spends far more than
it earns
Colombia, strictly speaking. owes Brit
ish investors e3,5OOOOO. Nearly the
whole of these debts are due to British
creditors, This particular republic, in
1877. called its creditors together and
made them an offer of a composition OF
SO much in the pound. 1t wiped out it's
old debt by giving new bonds for g. 70O,-
900 on which it paid 11A per cent. inter-
est.
Even other countries, about which VIC
know far more, such as Greece and Tur-
Key, are almost as bad A Greek E10O
bond is worth from eS1 to e44 according
is worth but e26. That is why British
creditors sigh
Greece owes her very existence to John
Bull. Then the money she owes him !!
This must amount to somewhere about
two and a half millions, excluding the
loan Of 1898, all of which is gone hope
lessly. The latter loan was one of
t6, 1000, and was guaranteed by Brit
an, France and Russia each country be-
ing liable to a third of it, Should
France and Russia decide to renounce
their liability, poor old John will have to
go bail for the full amount. Very likely
this loan will never be repaid.
Greece's old taskmaster is another I'M
fortunate debtor. In 1881 Ottoman
Government, being unable to meet it's liza
bilites was obliged to call together his
creditors in order to enter into an ar
rangement with them. John Bull must
have a sum of about 1000, 900 owing 20
him by Turkey. This sum is the balance
still owing of a loan of G5,O00,OOO made
in 1855 in order to help Turkey to fight
Russia.
Egypt owes a loan obtained so recent
ly as 1897. In John Bulls account of
his expenditure there is a heading, "Spe-
cial Services: Egyptian Government
Grant in Aid" Under this an amount
of G79S, S02
This is because John lent Egypt some
thing better than mere money He lent
her men with brains, who have made her
into healthy, prosperous country of the
sort that pay off their debts in full
Egypt has other debts than monetary
debts to pay off.
