CHAPTER xV.
Like Chapter From the Past.


Five men had emerged from the
woods behind the clearing, so quietly
that they were in the center of the
camp before CrusOe's shrill bark, or
the outcry of the cook, warned us of
their presence. BY that time they had
us covered. Three of them carried
rifles, the other two revOlvers. One OF
these was Captain Magnus.
Advancing a step or two before the
others, he ordered us to throw up our
hands. Perhaps he meant only the
men-but my hands and Aunt James
and Miss Higglesby-Browne's also
went up with celerity. He grinned
into our astounded faces with a wolf
ish barring of his yellow teeth.
Never guessed l wasn't here jest to
do the shovel work, but might have my
own little side-show to bring Off, hey?
he inquired of no one in particular.
Here, Slinker, help me truss 'em up"
The man addressed thrust his pistol
IN his belt and came forward, and
with his help the hands of the Scotch
man, Cuthbert Vane and Mr.. Tubbs
were securely tied. They were
searched for arms. and the sheath
knives which Mr. Shaw and Cuthbert
carried at their belts were taken away.
The three prisoners were then or
dered to seat themselves in n row
on the trunk of PROSTATE palm.
The whole thing had happened in
the strangest silence. EXCEPT for n
Feeble moaning from Aunt Jane, like
the bIeating of sheep, which broke
iorth at intervals, nobody spoke OF

ardent clasp.

Il thank you-in the name Of this eN-
nedition l thank you-for the influence
YOU have exerted upon your friends.
And this seemed TO be TO the noble
youth the most stunning Of all the
shocks Of that eventful morning.
Now came the matter Of drawing up
the new agreement. 1t was a cann2
Scot indeed. who, acting on the hint
I had just given him, finally settled its
terms. In the first place, the previous
agreement was declared null and void.
In the second. Mr. T>ubbs was to have
his fourth only If the treasure were
discovered through his direct agency.
And it was under this condition and
no other that Dugald Shaw bound
himself to rellnquish his original
claim. Virginia Harding signed new
reuunclatory clause. but 1t bore only
on treasure discovered by Mr.. Tubbs
Indeed. the entire contract was Of
force only If Mr.. Tubbs fulfilled his
part OF it. and fell to pieces if he did
not. Which was exactly what 1
wanted.
No difficulty WIS made of the alb
sence Of Captain Magnus, as his in
terests were unaffected by the change.
Space was left for his signature. Mine
came last Of all, as that of a mere inl-
terloper and hanger-on.
My demonstrations OF joy at this
happy issue OF my hopes had to be
confined TO a smile-in which for Il
startled instant Violet had seemed to
sense the triumph. 1t was still on my

and you, Mr. Tubbs-"
She drew them aside, and they
moved off out of earshot, where they
stood with their backs to US and their
heads together.
1t was my opportunity. Violet her
self had proposed that the original
agreement-the agreement which
bound me TO ask for no share OF the
treaSure-should be Cancelled. Moth
ing now was necessary to the ripeninc
of my hopes but TO induce DuEald
Shaw TO immediate himself. Would he
do so-on my bare word? There was
no time to explain anything-he must
trust me.
I sprang up and dashed over to the
pair who stood looking gloomily out
to sea. "AIr. Shaw" ! whispered

hand upon his arm. He regarded me

sardonically.
