"Now, men," he said, "our comrade is a
prisoner in yon--in yond-in that there fort

teers to go with me?" He fixed them with a
stern eye.
There was silence, and then one of the
smaller boys remarked:
eff Doc Trescott ketches us traclzin' over his
lawn"
Willie Dazel pounced upon the speaker and
took him by the throat The two presented
sort of burlesque of the wood-cut on the
cover of dime novel which Willie had just
been reading THE Red Captain: A Tale of
the Pirates of the Spanish Main"
You are cowardp said Willie, through
his clinched teeth.s

best, he could

indignantly: Don't tell me I'm liar. He
relinqui,shed his hold upon the coward and
Many of you have been my followers for long
years You saw me say Six-handed Dick with
my own hand. You know, never falter. Our
comrade is prisoner in the cruel hands of our
enemies. Aw, Pete Washington? He dassent.
My pa says if Pete ever troubles me he'll
will go with me to the rescue? Aw, come on!
What are you afraid off"
1t was another instance of the power of elo-
quence upon the human mind. There was
only one boy VINO was not thrilled by TINS
oration, and he was a boy whose favorite read
ing had been of the road agents and gun
fighters of the great West, and he thought the
whole thing should be conducted in the Dead
wood Dick manner. This talk of "comrade"
was silly; ''pard' was the proper word. He
resolved that he would make show of being
a pirate, and keep secret the fact that he
really was Hoid-up Harry, the Terror of the
Sierras.
But the others were knit close in piratical
bonds. One by one they climbed the fence at
a point hidden from the house by tall shrubs.
With many low-breathed caution they went
upon their perilous adventure.
Jimmie had grown tired of waiting for his
friends who would be faithful unto death.
Finally he decided that he would resc lie him
self 1t would be gross breach of rule. but
he couldn't sit there all the rest of the day
waiting. for his faithful -unto-death friends.
The window was only five feet from the
ground. He softly raised the>sash and threw
one leg over the sill. But at the same time he
his friends shaking among the
bushes. He withdrew his leg and waited, see
ing that he was now to be rescued in an ortho-
dox way. The brave pirates came nearer and
nearer.
Jimmie heard noise of closing door. and

nothing but what was to him the black oil

From somewhere out in the street he heard
a peculiar whistle of two notes. 1t was the
common signal of the boys in the neighbor-
hood, and, Judging from the direction of the
sound, it was apparently intended to summon
him. He moved Immediately to one OF the
windows of the sitting room. 1t opened upon
part OF the grounds remote from the stables
and cut off from the veranda by wing. lie
perceived Willie Dalzel lettering in the street;
Jimmie whistled the signal after having pushed
up the window sash some inches. be saw the
Dalzel boy turn and regard him, and then call
several other boys. They stood In group and
gestured. These gestures plainly said: Come
out: We've got something on hand" Jimmie
sadly shook his head.
But they did not go away. They held a
long consultation. Presently Jimmie saw the
intrepid Dalzel boy climb the fence and begin
to creep among the shrubbery, in elaborate imi.
tation Of an Indian scout. In time he arrived
under Jimmie's window, and raised his face to
bear hunt"
A bear hunt! Of course Jimmie knew that
it would not be real bear hunt, but would
be, a sort of carouse of pretension and big
talking and Preposterous lying and valorT,
wherein each boy would strive to have himself
called Kit Carson by the others. He was pro-
foundly affected. However, the parental word
was upon him, and he could not move. NO"
he answered, 81 can't. I've got to stay in"
Are you prisoner?" demanded the Dalzell
boy, eagerly.
"No-o-yes-I s'pose l am"
The other lad became much excited, but he
did not lose his wariness Don't you want to
be rescued~
''Why-no-I DUNNO" replied Jimmie, du
biously.
Willie Dalzell was indignant. why, of
course you want to be rescued! Well rescue
you. I'll go and get my men," And, thinking
this good sentence, he repeated, pompously,
"I'll go and get my men, He began to crawl
away, but when he was distant some ten PAGES
he turned to say: keep up stout heart.
Remember that you have friends who will be
faithful unto death. The time is not now far
off when you will again view the blessed sun
light"
The poetry of these remarks filed Jimmie
with ecstasy and he watched eagerly for the
coming of the friends who would be faithful
unto death. They.delayed some time, for the
reason that Willie Dalzel was making a
speech.

at him and the open window in angry sur

came as near to it as may the average boy.

ing lnvoluntarily Jimmie glanced over his
shoulder through the window. His father saw
the creeping figures. .'What are those boys

brows.

OF course Jimmie understood. He had been
mad to warn his friends, but his fathers mere
presence had frightened him from doing it.
He stood trembling at the window, while the
doctor stretched in an easy chair near at hand.
They waited. The doctor could tell by his

"Hes gaining on us!" painted Jim. RBa
for your life, Ned!''
It did not occur to us at that time to use
our guns. We were too frightened to think
of anything but the terrible wild man who was
following our tracks through the forest.
We reached the second valley, which was a
very wide one, and turned up the centre.
1t is wonderful how well our strength kept
up, for we ran over the frozen snow for three
or four miles. dragging the sled after us.
We heard nothing of our pursuer for long
time, and began to hope that he had abandon
ed the chase. We were soon undeceiyed. As
we started up the mountain-side to cross into
the next valley, the sound of running footsteps
came plainly to our ears. We pushed on with
desperate energy, and as we looked back from

at the old vehicle, while the doctor sat calmly
on the scat, and seemed to enjoy hugely our
labored breathing.
I'm surprised, boys that you should select
such unsuitable night for pleasure excur-
sion," he said, musingly, as we plodded along
the sandy road. 'It's -dark-far too dark for
a comfortable walk. You can't see single
star-not one-no, not even with keyhoie
telescopei"
1 felt my face flush there in the darkness at
this thrust, and Phil gave despairing groan
Then the doctor had overheard our planning,
after all!
'1 appreciate the trouble, however, which
you have taken to give your instructor little
pleasure"
"Oh, goodnessl" calculated Sam Bowsun,
explosively.
"And l am glad to see that you-the Ter
rors believe you. call yourselves-bear me no
iIl-will for the stop necessarily put to your
festivities last night, as you show by this
token of kindness"
Phil kicked spitefully at pebble in the
road at this speech, but did not dare to reply.
At last we reached the turn, and started up
the long hill toward the village.
The old chaise seemed to weigh ton more
than when we started.
Puff, puff-pant, pant! on we went
'Td give dollar If the old hulk was in
the ocean, said Sam Bowsun, with a gasp.
Just then came thump on the ground.
The doctor did have spark of humanity left,
after all. He had alighted.
"Bring the carriage to my house, boys" he
said, "and I'll meet you there."
And then he quickly disappeared up the
road, leaving six disconsolate and provoked
youths behind him, tugging at that 'amalga-
mated product Of resurrected mnmmery," as
Bent Freeman called it, in the indignation
meeting that followed.
In due course Of time, however. we reached
DR.. Smalls house and drew the chaise into
the yard.
As We ensconced it under the apple tree,
the doctor appeared at the side door, lamp in
hand.
"All come in, please" he directed.
With many misgivings we entered the sit
ting room in single file. y
A sorry-looking group We were, covered
with dust from head 10 foot The CRIME on
Phips face was ntersected by numerous
streams Of trickling perspIation, and the rest
of us presented an equally ludicrous appear
ance.
The doctor didn't seem to notice the dirt
or general confusion of the party.
"Boys" said he, "sit down. / want to say
few words to you before you TO-"
We sat down, very willingly.
