Now tho hour to leiivo the Bnilgor had

Bllently the mon went over the alde

Olvo them a good druibblng and my com*

If you should hnppon to moot hlm,"
The, boata, led by that oommanded by
Broughton, Steorod off, to tho shpro op
poslte to tlie fort, ond ln an Inatant moro
could not be noon on tho dark surfaco ot
the wnter. The pi'ogresB waa slow, but
nolseloBS. A llno wns onrrlod from tho
lendlng oraft to tbe Becond, and from
that to Uio ono aatorn. so that thoro
would be no loslng ono another ln tho
darknoss. . ., .,
After reaohlng the ooast on the opposlto
sldo of tho bay, thoy kept along wlthout
ohanglng dlreoUon for aonio tlme. At last
n, tug to port showed the boats ln the
rear that tho loadlng ono had oommencod
to oroas bhe harbor, and was presumably
hoadod toward tho landlng place.
Not a word or a sound of any klnd cnme
from tho party. All was lntonse eilence
nbout them, oxcept whero a dlsmal oroak
oamo from a horon huntlng for flsh.
Buddonly tho llno slaokod up and tho tnreo
boats were olongaido of each othor onco
moro. Broughton loaned ovor the slde
und ln a whlspor saldl
"Lord FltamorrlBl"
"Horo," was tho guardod reply.
"Wo aro at tho mouth of tlho llttle bay.
now, and wo havo but a short dlstanoo to
go. It wlll bo ao woll that ,wo all koop
t-ogothor at thla tlme."
"Vory good; I am roady."
Tho boats movod on agaln qulotly, nnd
ln a fow minutoB tho bown gratod on tho
ennd. _ ...
The crews woro qulokly ovor tho sldo
In tho shallow wator, nnd, haullng tlio
boats up on tho boaoh, allowed tho Oov
emor to stop out onto tlho dry land. Sl
lontly tho mon ,wero muatarod in alngle
flle, and led by Broughton and Fltamorrls,
mado tholr way up tho bank abovo tho
beaoh. , , ,
On they went quletly and quickly, and
In a fow mlnutes woro in tho thick woods
nnd close to the fort. Fltzmorrls, who
cnrrted a amall pookot oleotilo lantorn,
shot a flame onto the face of hls watch.
"Quartor after 8," ho sald ln a whls
per to Broughton, who stood sldo of hlm.
"I wlll move to the edgo of tho wood
and soe lf thero aro any slgns of llfe
about."
In a few momonta ho returned,
"Not a soul," ho whlspered, "It la Just
gottlng so that you can see your way
about. Just bofore i will bo about rlght."
"Very well. Wo are roady ,to movo
when you sny tho word."
For half an hour or more thore wub
sllence, and thon Broughton touched tho
Governor on tlhe arm.
"It ls tlmo, I thlnk," ho sald.
The attacklng party spread out llke a
fan, .and moved cautloiiHly to tho very
odge of the woods, whero thoy hnlted.
At that moment a cock crow lustlly, and
thero wero slgns of llfo In tho fort
ahead of them.
Fitzmorrls gavo a slgn to Broughton,
and a dash was made for tho nearest
bulldlilgs whero tho troopa wero quar
tcred.
Thore was a suddon nlarm, nnd a fow
nhota rang out from the wlndows, to be
instanly nnswored by tho ntttacking
party wlth a slmultnneops fusllade.
At the snmo tlmo tho guns of tho Bad
ger opencd flro on the eastern slde, and
tho shells explodod ln rapld succosslon
agnlnst tho moss-covored stones, and
spUn'tered them to bits.
"Go It, boys," yellod Fitzmonis, rush
Ing hlthor and thlthor in groat oxcite
ment whnrever tho fightlng was thickost.
I Broughton had led part of tho men to
'tho back of tho lnrgest bulldlng,, nnd
Into lt they dashecr and up tho stnlrs, to
the dlsmay and su'rprlso of tho occu
pants, who fled beforo thom out on to
tho broad voranda, from whonce they
dropped to tho ground beiow. _,
In about half an hour tho fort was
tliolrs, and among tho dead was found
the body of the man that Broughton
called tho "goneral."
"That's good rlddanco," remarked tho
lntter as ho stood over tho prostrato
form ' "I owed you a shot, my man, and
you got lt, even though you wero run
nlng >away. Theso fellows will do noth?
lng wlthout thls chap, I fancy. He
mado moro trouble than any .one else.
That wim the way that ho llved. He
nover dld any work of any klnd oxcept
wlth his mouth." ,
??Havo wo any kllled or wounded?"
asked Fitzmonis.
??None kllled, but two or three have
hullets ln them. No ono ls badly hurt.
Now'WQ'd better round up our prlsonors.
clvo thom a blt. of good ndvlco, and then
fet them go.. Thoy will do us no harm
ir wo tnko tholr arms away,
"It will bo juBt as well to glve them
tholr llberty," sald tho governor. A\ e
cannot take caro of them, and now that
thelr leader ls dead. thoy probably. .as
you snv, will make no further trouble
Boforo long tho prlsoners wore lined
un ln front of tho governor, and,
Broughton nctlng as Interp.otor, wero
n-tvnn some good advlco.
SFrom ono of the older men t was

knows that there can be no mlstake,"
"But wh&t can we do? Is not thls
harbor safe?"
"No, for you cannot rely on tho bot

must run for the deop lnner harbor."
"The lnner harbor! Where la It?"
"I wlll gulde you," she sald. "You

"I cannot thank you too much," sald
Brent. "You havo probably savod my
