began again. and 1t vas astonishing
with what rapidity the t~hick-comiDS
pictures began to crowd upon that In.
ner vision with which the Lord had en-
dowed his faithful follower!
OF course l vas inclined now to take
the whole thing as an amusing impos-
ture; but presently, watching his face
and the curious seeing" expression of
his eyes, and noting the exactitude Of
n or two pictures, I began to feel
that, however much he might be in
venting OF celebrating, there was some
substratum Of truth In what he was
telling me.
The first pictures that came to him
were merely pictures, though astOnish-
ingly clear ones, of Webster's boat. the
Flamingo, Of Webster himself. and of
the men and the old dog Sailor but In
all this he might have been visualizing
from actual knowledge. Yet the de-
tails were curiously exact. Presently
his gaze becoming more fixed:

exclaimed involuntarily; "get some

The old man gazed with a renewed
intensity.

appointed tone seemed to me the best
evidence yet of his truth, II only see a
little golden mist deep. deep down ul-

It's gone; I can only see de woods ard

This brought his visions to an end.
The spirits ~cbstiEately refused to
make any more pictures, though the

I rapidly conveyed the coincidence

be so like the first. Meanwhile, the
young man was answering, or rather
pleading, in a boyish way:

Once more there was that ripping
Of the ropes through the blocks, as our

steady northeast breeze we had been
waiting for.
So two or three hours went by, rs
we plunged on, to the seething sound
OF the water, and the singing Of our

friend followed suit by taking d silver

striking q match on the leg of his

"All set?' asked Charlie, and, after
a slight pause, he went on:

The discovery which-through my

to have made, of the situation of

treasure, fitted exactly with Charlie
Webster's wishes for our trip. small
stock as he affected to take In it at the

"Short Shrift island lay a few miles

Its center is still a mystery. The
natives declare it Is haunted, or at al!

pie no one has yet approached close

rs you approach them, they disappear.
Here. therefore, seemed an excellent
place for Tobias to take cover in.

mysterious region. So Andres was

and, doubtless, memories stirred in
him of Scotch 0 they had shot

the night wind and shifted impatiently,
as though he already scented the wild
duck on Andres island. He was i'm
patient, like the rest Of US, because.
though 1t was an hour past sailing
time, we had still to collect two of the
crew. The two loiterers turned up at
last and, all prelininaries being at
length disposed of, we threw off the
mooring ropes and presently there was
heard that most e%xhilarating Of sounds
to anyone who loves seafaring, the rip
ping Of the ropes through the blocks
as u mainsail began to rise up high
against the moon which was beginning
to look out over the huge block OF the
Colonial hotel, the sea wall of which
ran along as far as our mooring. A
few lights in its windows here and
there broke the blank darkness Of It's
facade, %glimmering through the ave
nues of royal palms. I am thus ex-
| plicit because Of something that pres
emily happened and which stayed the
mainsail in it's ripping ascent.
A tall figure was running along the
sea wall from the direction Of the ho-
tel, calling out. a little b~reathlessly. In
a rich young voice as it ran:
"Wait a minute there, you fellows /!
Wait a minute!'
We were already moving, parallel
with the wall, and at least twelve feet
away from it, by the time the figure

he added-turning to a table by his

glass decanter Of considerable capac-
ity, though at present void of con-
tents-that he had found that gains

First he asked me to be kind enough
to shut the door.
