began again. and It was astonishing
with what r"pidity the thick-coming
pictures began to crowd upon that In
ner vision with which the Lord had en-
dowed his faithful follower!
OF course was 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
one or two pictures. I began to feel
that, however much he might be in
venting or 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:
81 see you anchored under a little
settlement. You are rowing ashore.
Dere are little pathways running up
among de coral rock, and a few white
houses. Seems to be forest; big
trees-not like Nassau trees-and
thick brush everywhere; all choked up
so thick and dark. can't see nut'n.
Wait a minute, dough. Dere seems to
be old houses all sunk In and los, like
old ruins. Can't see dem for de brush.
And wait-Lord love you. sar. but Use
afraid seem to see big light COM
Ing up trough de brush from far under
de ground-just like you see old rot

deep down. Didn't tell you de Lord

de earth Its de bowels Of de enrth
for sure-all lit up and shining. Praise
de Lord-it am de gold, for certain,
all hidden away and shining dere un-
der de ground"
Cant you see II closer. clearerT I
exclaimed involuntarily; get some
Idea Of the place It's in?"
The old man gazed with a renewed
intensity.
NO" he said presently, and his dis
appointed tone seemed to me the best
evidence yet of his truth, 81 only see n
little golden mist deep, deep down un-
der de ground; now 1t is fading away.
It's gone; can only see de woods and
de ruins again"
This brought his visions to an end.
The spirits obstinately refused to
make any more pictures, though the
old man continued to gaze on in the
decanter stopper for fully five min
utes.
The Dolores star., 1919-10-24

Its true, sar," he said. when I had
finished, II could find 1t for you. I
could find It for you. sure enough; and
I'm de only man in all de islands dat
could. But l should have to go wild
you, and it's de Lords will to keep me
here in dis chair wild rheumatics. De

many a time. and ! have faith In de
Lord dey would turn again-yes. I'd
find 1t for you; sure enough. I'd find

glass ball-so; and II de spirit helps
me I can see clear as a picture far
under de ground-far, far away over
de sea. It's de Lords truth. sar-
blessed be his name!"
I asked him whether he would look
into his crystal for me. With burst
of profanity, as unexpected as II was
vivid, he cursed dem boys" that had
stolen from him a priceless crystal
which once had belonged to his old
royal mother, who, before him, had
had the same gift of the spirit. But.
r. added-turnIng to a table by his
side, and lifting from 1t large cut
glass decanter Of considerable capac-
ity, though at present void Of con-
tents-that he had found that gazing
into the large glass ball OF Its stopper
produced almost equally good results
at times.
First he asked me to be kind enough
to shut the door.
We had to be very quiet, he de-
clared; the spirit could work only in
deep silence. And he asked me to be
kind enough to close my eyes. Then
l heard his voice muttering, in a
strange tongue, queer dark gobbling
kind of words, which may have been
ancient African spell-words, or sheer
g1bberish such as magicians in all
times and places have employed to
mystify their consultants.
/ looked at him through the corner
Of my eye-as doubtless he had antici-
pated, for he was glaring with an air
of inspired abstraction into the ball Of
the decanter stopper. So we sat silent
for I suppose some ten minutes. Then
I heard him give another deep sigh.
Opening my eyes l saw him slowly
shaking his head.
'De spirits don't seem communicable
dis afternoon" he muttered fitting the
decanter slightly on one side and OBJ
serving it drearly.
'Do you think, your majesty" I
asked with as serious a face as
could assume. "the spirits might work
better-if the decanter were to be
filled?"
"Mebbe. sar; mebbe. Spirits is Gu
rious things; dey need inspiration
sometimes, just like ourselves"
"What kind of inspiration, do you
think gets the best results, your maj
esty?"
"Well, sar, can't say as dey is very

could get his breath, but hnd to do
it. Heaven knows what the old man
will say!"
You're something of long jump
said Charlie.
"Oh! l have done my twenty-five
and an eighth on broad running
jump, but l had no chance for run
there" answered the lad, carelessly.
Put suppose you'd hit the water in
stead of the deck?"
"What Of It? Can't one swim?"

l rapidly conveyed the coincidence
and the difference-to Charlie. It
| struck me as odd, I'll admit that our
second start, in this respect, should
be so like the first. Meanwhile. the
young man was answering, or rather
pleading, in boyish way:

:. and it won't kill him to tear his

well said Charlie, after thinking
awhile In his slow way, "we'll think 1t
over. You can come along till the
morning. Then 1 can get good look
at you. If don't like your looks we'll
still be able to put you OFF at West
End; and If 1 do-well-right-ho -ho |
Now. boys" he shouted. "go ahead
with the sulls."
Once more there was that rippling
OF the ropes through the blocks, as our
mainsail rose up high against the
moon and filled proudly with the
steady northeast breeze we had been
waiting for
So tH'v or three hours went by, as
we plunged on. to the seething sound
OF the water, and the singing of our
sails, and all the various rumor of
wind and sea. After all, it was a good
music to sleep to and for all my scorn
Of sleeping landsmen, an Irresistible
drowsiness stretched me out ON the
roof Of the little cabin, wonderfully
rocked into forgetfulness.

as though some one had flung me out
through door of blue and gold into a
newborn world. There was the sun
rising, the moon still ON duty, and the
heaven.
And there was Charlie, his broad
face beaming with boyish happiness,
and something like fatherly gentle
ness in his eyes. as he watched his
companion at the tiller. whom, for a
haif-asleep moment of waking, I
couldn't account for, till our start all
came back to me. when realized that
1t was our young scapegrace Of over
night. Charlie and he evidently were
on the best Of terms already.
Old Tom had been busy with break
fast and soon the smells of coffee and
freshly made "johnny-cake" and Try
Ing bacon competed not unsuccessrully
with the various fragrances of the
morning.
Breakfast over, Charlie filled his
pipe. assuming, as he did SO, a judicial
aspect. l filled mine and our young
friend followed suit by taking silver
cigarette case from his pocket and
| striking u match on the leg of his
khaki knickerbockers with profess
slOnal air.
"All set7" asked Charlie. and, after
slight pause, he went on:
NOW, young man, you can see we
are nearing the end Of the island. An
other half-mile will bring us to West
