Amazement, still more than half in

Mr.. Shaw said rapidly:
You're right. OF course, If you
have found the cave, the best thing
we can do is to keep them shut up in
it. But we must move fast-perhaps
we're too late already. If they have

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Young Person Scores.

My first memory is of voices, and
after that 1 was shot swiftly out of a
tunnel from an immense distance and
opened my eyes upon the same faces
which l had left at some indefinite
period in the past. There was Aunt
James. very fearful and Miss Higgles-
by-Browne's, very glum, and the Hon
orable Cuthbert's, very anxious and
little dazed, and Cookies. very. very
black. The face of Dugald Shaw l
did not see, for the quite Ineligible
reason that was lying with my head
upon his shoulder.
As soon as l realized this / sat up
suddenly, while every one exclaimed
at once. There. she's quite all right
see how her color is coming back!"
The penknife that l had lost in my
struggle with Captain Magnus had
fallen at the Scotchman's feet.
Wrenching himself free of his all but
severed bonds he had seized the knife,
slashed through the rope that held
him to the tree, and flung himself on
Captain Magnus. 1t was brief strug
gle-a fist neatly planted on the ruff
fans jaw had ended 1t, and the cap
tain, half dazed from his potations,
went down Imply.
Throughout the fray Chris slum-
bered undisturbed, and he and the un-
conscious Magnus We're now reposing
side by side, until they should awake
TO find themselves neatly trussed up
with Cookies clothes-lines.
But my poor brave Crusoe dragged
broken leg, from a kick bestowed on
him by Captain Magnus, at whom he
had flown valiantly in my defense.
So far so good; we had signally de-
feated our two guards, and the camp
was ours. But what about the pirates
who were still in the cave and would
shortly be returning from It? They
were three armed and sturdy rufiians.
1t would mean battle to the death.
Our best hope would be to wait in
ambush behind the trees of the clear
ing-I mean for Dugald Shaw and
Cuthbert Vane to do it-and shoot
down the unsuspecting pirates as they
returned. This desperate plan, which
so unpleasantly resembled murder,
cast gloom on every brow.
"1t's the women, lad" said the
Scotchman in low voice to Cuthbert.
"It's-it's Virginia." And Cuthbert
heavily assented.
Seeing myself as the motif of such
slaughter shocked my mind suddenly
back to clearness.
"Oh," 1 cried, mot that. Why not
surprise them in the cave, and make
them stay there? One man could
guard the entrance easily-and after
ward we could build 1t up with logs or
something"
Everybody stared.
"A remarkably neat scheme" said
Mr.. Shaw, ''but impossible Of applica-
ton, I'm afraid, because none Of us
know where to find the cave"
