. BY Stanley }. Weyman.

flung themselves or them from behind.
They were seized, strong arms pinioned
them, knives were at their threats. In
a twinkhng, and while they still expect
ed death, sacks were dragged over their
heads and down to their waists, and
they were helpless.
1t was we'll, II was neatly done: n
completely done. with a single draw
back. The men had not seized Flavia,
and, white as paper, but with rage, not
fear, she screamed shrilly for help
screamed twice.
She would have screamed a third
time. but Colonel Sullivan, who knew
that they were scarcely w furlongs
from the meeting place, and from some
hundreds of merciless foes, did the only
thing possible. He flung his arms
round her, pressed her face. roughly
against his shoulder, smothered her
cries remorselessly. Then raising her,
aided by the man with the musket, he
bore her, vainly struggling-and. 1t
must be owned, scratching-after the
others out OF the driftway.
+ The thing done, the colonel's little
band of Frenchmen knew that they had
cast h die and must now succeed or
perish. The girls screams, quickly
suppressed, might not have given the
alarm; but they had set nerves. on edge.
The prick of a knife was used-and
often-to apprize the blinded prisoners
that IL they did not move they would
be piked. They were dragged, a sea-
a on either side Of each captive, over
some hundred PAGES of rough ground
through the stream, n so into a path
litter better than a sheep track which
ran round the farther side Of the hill
of the tower, and descended that way
to the more remote bank of the lake.
1t was a rugged path, steep and slip
perry. dropping precipitously a couple OF
feet In places, and more than once fol-
lowing the bed of the stream. But it
YVES traceable even In the mist, and the
party from the sloop. once put on 1t,
could follow ii.
II no late conner to the meeting en-
countered them, Colonel John, to whom
every foot Of the ground was familiar,
saw no reason, apart from h chances
of pursuit, why they should not convey
their prisoners to the sloop. All, how
ever, depended on time. II Flavia's
screams had not given the alarm, 1t
would soon be given by the absence of
those whom the people had come to
meet. The missing leaders would be
sought, pursuit would be organized.
But with peril on every side Of them.
Flavia was still the main, the real diff
Guilty. Colonel Sullivan could not hope

to carry her far, even with the help of
the man who fettered her feet, and bore
part of her weight. Twice she freed her
mouth and uttered a stiied cry. The
colonel only pressed her face more ruth
lessly to hinl-his mems lives depended
on her silence. But the sweat stood on
his brow; and, after carrying her no
more than 500 yards, he staggered un-
der the unwilling burden. He was on
the path now and descending, and he
held out a little farther.
But presently, when he hoped that
she had swooned, she fell to struggling
more desperately. He thought, on this,
that he might be smothering her; and
he relaxed his hold to allow her to
breathe. For reward she struck him
madly, ~furiously in the face, and he had
to stife her again.
Blu his heart was sick. 1t was q
horrible, a brutal business, a thing he
had not foreseen on board the Cor
morant. He had supposed that she
| would faint at the first alarm; and his
courage, which would nave faced al
most any event with GOODNESS, quailed.
He could not murder the girl, and she
would not be silent. No she would
| not be silent! Short Of setting her down
and binding her hand and foot, which
would take time, and was horrible to
imagine, he could not see what to dc.
And the man with him, who saw the
rest of the party outstripping them,
and as good as disappearing in the fog,
who fancied, with every step. that he
heard the feet of merciless pursuers
overtaking them, was frantic with inn
patience.
Then Colonel John, with the sweat
standing out on his brow did a thing
to which he afterward looked back
with great establishment.
"Give me your knife" he said, with
a groan, "and hold her hands! We
must silence her. and there is only
one way!"
The man, terrified as he was, and
selfish as terrified men are. recoiled
mol"
"Yes!" Colonel John retorted fiercely.
The knife!-the knife. man! And dc
you hold her hands,"
With a jerk he lifted her face from
his breast-and this time she neither
struck him nor screamed. The man
had h~alfheartedly drawn his knife. The
colonel snatched II from him. Now
her hands!" he said. Hold her, fool!
/ know where to strike!"
She opened her mouth to shrek, but
no sound came. She had heard, she
understood; and for a moment she
could neither struggle nor cry. That
terror which rage n an almost in
domnitable spirit had kept at bay
seized her; the sight Of the CLAIMING
death poised above her paralyzed hel
throat. Her mouth gaped, her eye
glared at the steel; then, with q queer
sobbing sound, she tainted.
THANK God" the colonel cried. Re
thrust the knife ack into the mans
hands, and, raising the girl again In
his arms, There's a house a little be.

the bishop, honorably escorted, as be-
came their rank, by their host and
hostess.
Freed from the ~wrangling and con-
fusion which the presence of the others
bred, Flavia regained her serenity as
che walked. There was nothing, indeed,
in the face of nature, in the mist and
the dark day. and the moisture that
hung in beads on thorn and furZe, to
cheer her. But she drew her spirits
from q higher source, and. ~sanguine and
self reliant. foreseeing naught but sue
cess. stepped proudly along beside the
bishop, who found, perhaps, in her pres
encc and her courage a make-weight
for the gloom Of the day.
"You are sure" he said smiling, that
We shall not lose BUR way?"
"Ah, and I am sure" she answered,
81 could take you blindfold."
THE mist
1T stands, my lord, for the mist over
hanging this poor land, which our sun
shall disperse."
God grant it!' he said. Cod grant
ii, indeed, my daughter" But do what
he would, he spoke without fervor.
They passed along the lake edge,
catching now and then the simmer of
water on their right. Thence they
assembled the steep path that led up the
glen of the waterfall to the level of
the platform on which h old tower
STOOD. Leaving this or the right they
climbed yet a little higher and en-
tered a deep driftway that, at the sum-
NIT of the gorge, Glove it's way between

THE TERMS.

Cammock and the bishop, certain only
that they were in hostile hands, and
hurried. blind and helpless, to an I'M
known doom, might have been par
doned had they succumbed to despair.
But they did not succumb. The habit
of danger; and a hundred adventures
and escapes had hardened them; they
felt more rage than fear. Stunned for
a moment by the audacity of the at
tack, they had not been dragged a hun
dred yards before they began to cal
culate the chances. If the Of
those into whose hands they had fallen
were to murder them they would have
been piked IN the spot. On the other
hand, II their captors' object was to
deliver them to English justice, weeks,
IL not months, must elapse before they
stood at the bar on a capital charge;
much water must flow under the
bridges, n many a thing might hap
pen, by force or fraud, In the interval.
So. half stifed and bitterly chagrined
as they were, they did not waste their
strength in a vain resistance.
