 With the priest was a younger man. Amyas looked at him in startled recogni- tion. It was his cousin Eustace! Amyas promised Eustace that he would not give information of his presence in the country, and told him of his own ad- Salterne Eustace listened to the story with a white and agonized face. Then, Fool, fool that I wasp he shrieked. and springing from his chair stamped up and down, clutching at the empty air and rocking his head from side to side in an agony of rage and anguish.
 Amyas was thunderstruck "Oh, Eus- tace!' he cried, "and you loved her, too!' When he was calmer, Eustace asked what the Brotherhood of the Rose pro posed to do in the matter, and Amyas told him-to seek out Don Guzman in the Caracas, kill him and rescue Rose.
 oh replied Eustace, ito hunt her down like wild beast because, forsooth, she has dared to love a Catholic. To force her to renounce a religion in which she has doubtless found rest and holinessi'
 Has she found holiness?' retorted Am yas. That is just what I propose to find out for myself"
 When Amyas reached Bideford it proved that his arrival was what the father of Rose had been waiting for; and he offered goll for the fitting out of an expedition that should go and rescue his daughter. B, Frank and Will Cary also claimed a right to contribute, and the three sailed away with Amyas, Westward-ho! as soon as the fitting out of the ship was com pleted.
 Among the Bideford men whom Amyas t.o.l with him was Salvation Yeo fan atical Anabaptist. who had been one of the band of unfortunate John Oxenham. When that doughty leader. after mucn pillaging. met his death by lingering too long in the neighborhood of Panama with the young wife of an aged Spanish off cial Salvation ieo had been captured and sers to the galeys of Cartegena, escap- ing after much suffering to return to his ow lard.
 Now in those wilds John Oxenham had left little daughter. the child of sin. but very dear to Yeo, who had tended her carefully in their long marches through the wilderness. he still called her his little maid" and believed that one day he should find her again So he begged to pc allowed to go with Amyas, for in the land to which they were bound Yeo believed he would come across his Lit tie Maid" and he was sure he could kill many Spdnlarus.
 I. was fair tropic afternoon when Amyass ship the Rose, sailed in front of the port of La Guayra and saw lying within the protection of the forts an ar nada of Spain. High up on the a hill they could see large house before which flew the standard of Castlle-evidently the residence of the governor of the Cara cas-and that governor was Guzman de Soto.
 From some Indians who put out in a expected, which accounted for the Span ish men-of- war being there; and also that Don Guhnlan had sailed to the eastward to intercept them. They had hoped to find La Guayra undefended, to pillage it and to carry off Rose. but evidently some one had betrayed them. Amyas at once thought of his talk with Eustace. His cousin, doubtless, had given the alarm. The tropic night shut down suddenly; the giant mountains famed a moment and then turned black. In a window of the governors house a light shone brightly. The Rose anchored below the town and Amyas resolved upon bold move. Talk ing Frank and a few trusty men with him he rowed ashore to deserted part of inc beach and climbed up the hill to the house where the light was burning.
 They had reached the thicket which frinzed the lawn in front of the building when a female figure. followed by Q man wearing a cloak drawn oyer the lower part of his face, came around the corner of the house.
 The two were the Rose of Torridge and Eustace Leigh.
