And the iarks sing loud, and the thrushes

THE HARDEN AND IftE fIOSE.-
/" HE Chateau de Josselin, q
place not unknown to his
tory, lay hard by the sea-
shore few miles from the
town of Brest toward which it turned
its landward side. 1t was building
of great antiquity and had been in the
possession of the family of de Rohan
from feudal times. One face looked
seaward over the wild crags, wSere
the stormy waves of the Bay of Bis
cay broke in ceaseless onslaught. beat
ing themselves into the white foam Of
sea agony upon the stern shores.
At the foot of the keep or principal
tower, which was built upon the sheer
edge of precipitous headland. there
was deep indentation in the cliffs,
which, if one possessed sufficient skill
and knowledge to thread the narrow
passage twisting between the roaring
breakers, afforded safe harborage for
boats and small coasting vessels. 1t
had been long unused, of course, ow-
ing to the spacious harbor of Brest
close at hand, but in old days it had
been a favored haven of the adven-
turous lords of Rohan-and sometimes
of their enemies as well.
Landward the main chateau over
looked a singularly pleasant garden
filed with ancient fruit and shade
trees, the whole inclosed by high
wall from which, and better still, from
the high tower, a full view of Brest,
its Notifications, it's naval station, it's
harbor and its shipping could be OBJ
tained. 1t was to this castle that
Philip Grafton was conducted upon the
evening of the arrival of LIE Thesee in
the harbor
The Marquis de Chabot-Rohan, or,
to give him his familiar title, de Cha
bot, the heir and successor to the dig
mites of the de Rohans in those parts,
and consequently the master of rich
and extensive possessions, kept up q
princely estate in the old chateau, and
it pleased him still to perpetuate the
ancient usages and customs of his
house so far as he could. The castle
itself seemed to be maintained as a
medieval fortress might have been.
The ditch surrounding it on the land
ward side, instead of being dry and
grass-grown, as was the custom, was
kept well filed with water;S the draw
bridge-the sole means of crossing the
moat-was raised and lowered at ap-
pointed hours; and close watch and
ward were kept by the feudal retain
ers of the house at the gateway and
on the walls. To seaward the walls
were so high and so strong that the
castle, placed on the very edge Of the
beetling cliffs, was believed to be hn-
pregnable.

1t had been gallant attempt. In

been that he had tried. 1t had failed
owing to the preparedness and good
judgment of the French captain.
There were not ten sailors in France
who could have done so well as he.
With almost any one else opposing
him, Grafton might have escaped. But
now his brig was wreck beneath him.
There was nothing left for him but to
surrender. Throwing his weighted
bag of dispatches overheard, he drew
a handkerchief from his pocket and
waved it toward his enemy.
Seeing the hopeless and helpless con-
dition of her quarry, the French ship
of the line swept gracefully up into
the wind by the side of the broken
brig. Her way was checked, her pom
derous yards swung, and she hove-to

tiers of guns, her lofty pyramids of
sails, her decks crowded with brilliant

therefore, in few moments, a heavy

the liner and lowered into the water.
Presently an officer, attended by sur

quite perceptibly to leeward of the

or never things were opportune for his
daring attempt

Once more the eight six-pounders
barl0ed out. In a cloud of her own
smoke the Boxer rounded on her heel
again, bringing the wind aft again,
darted away at right angles to her
former course. Covered with stuns'ls
aiow and aloft, she leaped along at a
great pace, gaining distance with every

But the captain of the liner had fore
seen the sFillful endeavor. A less
able seaman might have attempted to
emulate the Englishman's motions and
followed on the briggs heels; a less
thoughtful commander would not have
been ready for the only move which
would have stopped the daring ma

In spite of the promptness with
which Grafton's order had been carried
cut. and the advantage gained there
by, the brig was still within easy
range of all but the lightest guns Of
the French ship. Since the weather
was mild, it permitted the lower deck
ports to be opened and her heaviest
guns to be used. AS the Boxer pre-
sented her stern to her huge antagon-
st, the latter was suddenly wreathed
with fire and smoke. The thunderous
roar Of her discharge could have been
heard for miles. Her captain took no
chance, every gun that bore was dis
charged at the doomed vessel.
A tempest of iron came hurting
aboard the brig. She was like an egg
shed under trip-hammer, From a
trim and saucy little vessel she was
reduced in the twinkling of an eye to
wreck. The main-mast was carried
away a few feet above the deck, the
foretDp-mast was hanging up and
