 Susan, whose faculties were exceed ingly keen, stopped, threw her head up. and listened for the breeze.

 "Listen!"
 Susan had not heard the breeze, hut her quick ear had caught another sound. The night was very still. Du- ring the pauses between the slatting of the sails the creaking of the tim brs, and the sway of the loose rigging she thought she detected faint noise of oars in TOW locks.
 What is it?" asked the sailor softly
 Susan's voice sank to a whisper more from the excitement of the mo- ment than from any necessity.
 "There!" She pointed out into the thick darkness. Don't you hear iti Oars! They are coming Call the men"

 Absolutely" returned the girl. Ut lis there.' She pointed off to star board Then she turned Why no; now it seems to come from the other side. Call the men," she urged, eX- citement beginning to tell upon her.
 "Patience!" returned her cool old father If it is the boats they'll give louder notice presently, and we'll have time. Everything is ready, and don want to waken the men on what may be false alarm"
 Tt isn't false alarm, persisted the girl sharply. There, Didn't you hear that?"
 Aye returned the captain his ear having caught heavier thump where perhaps the muffiing had slipped from the oar. It's to starboard.'
 He walked over to starboard quick ly, put his hand behind his ear, and leaned far out over the rail This | time he caught the faint sound more | plainly
 "That'll be it." he said, turning to Susan. It's boats for certain"
 Can we beat them off" asked the girl, her pulse dancing.
 q don't know" answered her father. 1 If l had some good Americans on the i decks, there, we might, but with this crowd of half breeds"-
 They are nearer You can hear them more plainly now" interrupted | the girl.
 At that instant one of the men in ! the waist came running aft with soft catlike steps. He stopped at the break of the poop.
 There's something moving out yon- der, sir; boats, l take it, he said quietly.
 q know Wake up the men. Tell them not to make a sound, as they value their lives. They know what to do Get them to the starboard bat tery, but no firing till give the word. ,
 Aye aye, sir" said the man, turn ing instantly about his task
 In moment figures of recumbent men could be dimly seen rising from the decks and slipping noislessly to 1 their stations in the gloom.
 Ought we to show a light?" asked Susan.
 What! and tell them where we are and what to shoot at and how co get aboard? No, indeed" returned her father.
 "l didn't think of that" said the girl
 "Now, do you stay here a moment, " returned the veteran seaman, "and I'll take look along the decks. Call me if you notice anything"
 He ran rapidly down the ladder and passed from gun to gun, seeing that all was ready, and stopping a moment to exchange a word or two with MT. Conant and the huddle of men around the long tom on the forecastle, and ' then made his way aft to the poop, where Susan had been nervously watching. She could do most things that a man could do, and many of them better than most men, but she had never been in action before, and something of the woman was upper most.
 Her father laid his hand upon her arm and felt it tremble.
 My girl" he said you had better go below, There's going to be bloody work on these decks, and you will be safer in the cable tiers"
 q will never do it. Never!" cried Susan, q will take my part here with the rest"
 "But"-
