THE PIRATES ISLE
W itten for the TaI:IUr.
"'\Well Charlie, old boy! Suppose i
we go off in a yacht this slimmer toI
parts unknown. I am tired of loafing.i
about here, dging nothing." The I
speaker was a young man about
twenty-three years of age, of open
countenance, blue eyed, curly golden I
hair and of errect carriage. He wore
a gracefully twisted moustache and
looked every inch a gentleman. The i
place was a cosy apartment in Eel
cliffe -Manor house, situated on the 1
west coast of England -and- overlook
ing the broad expanse of the Atlantic :
ocean.
Charlie Ross, the person addresseod
was probably two years older than
his companion, and somewhat taller.
His hair was black and his complex
ion rathler dark, bat, he had grey eyess
and was a well ibu.ilt man. His
grey eyes were by no means small,
but they had an eagle-eyed penetrativ
eness not very common; and yet. those
eyes that could look like steel, and
pierce the inward thoughts of those
upon whom they turned, could be as
soft and tender as those of the sweet
est woman
"W'hy, Dick Chattarass!" said
Charlie. "Can you never settle down?
What with your large bank account,
fine estate, and winning charms, I
should imagine you wouht prefer to
remain at home, and captivate the
heart of some belle of your own rank,
marry hear, and settle down."
"No, the.e Is plenty of time for all
that," said Dick: I am young yet,
and besides, I do really want, to have
some adventure. You are just as fond
9f adventure as I aem, and being an
old friend, and an American, (a nation
that. I admire) I want your company.
I will not take no for an answer."
"Well, well Dicky boy, I suppose I i
munst give in to you importunity.
\i her:e shall we go, and what shall we
do' he"n shall we go, and when
.C."Charlie, you are a fitue fellow,"
S'.~'ered Dick. "ie shall go just

C
io ylc. oang l)en uwere both I
v e-.ahht-, and (1t college friends, t
Since leaving college they had roam
ed over hail'the world together, and i
at this writing, were staying at the
ancestrial homo of Sir Richardt
Chattar ss where they had spent I
scve- l months. n
The morning after the conversaLiton
minentionted, whilo the young men c
were at breakfast, a valet entered the 5
room, bearing a dainty trite on a s
silver tray, which he p)resented to his y
master. "Hi? what is this?'" askedl
Dick scruteuizing carefully the writ
ing oR the envelope. Finally, he
said. "This note evidently comes a
from Lady Fairdale, of Fairdale c
Castle. You remember Charlie, we tf
men Sir James Fairdale, his charm- n
ing wife, and pretty daughter in Lon- b
don, last season. You remember Sir k
James, that tall, merry old gentleman s5
with grey whiskers:l tI
"Yes, yes I reoeiber, Dick; but I
pray you open the note and see
what it may have to say." Dick forth
with opened the missive, and after
glancing at its contents said, with a
merry twinkle in his eye, "You will
have a gook opportunity, Mr. Charles
Ross, one week from today, to do what
you advised 31o to do,: sure as I'm a.
sinner." "And what .iay that be,"
inquired Charlis? " Why, fall in love,
marry and settle doter;' qhoth Dick.
"Well, what is it Dick? Do toll me.
I never felt so cui'io.n in my life. I-"
"It is justthis," interloped Chattarass
--"Sir Richard Chattarass and his
American friend, Mr. Ross are invited
to attend a garden party given in
honor of the birthday of Miss Margu
reite Fairdale, at Fairdale 'Castle.
Our presence is particularly desired
so says the note.'
That day week was a. perfect day,
and as the- host of friends, old and
young, groupead about under the um
brageous old lyme trees at Fairdale,
everythirig seomed bright.
Dick Chattkrass ,ma ged to get be
sid iMiss Iairdale, who;-had boon his
playmate; as a child, bdat whom he had
seen very little of during the last three
or four years. She was a beautiful
and brilliant girl'of twenty, lithe as a
willow and almost oriental in her
rich, dark beauty, Charlie Ro.s was
also fortunate in securing a charming
companion in the person of -Rose
iCa.tpon, one of the leading belles of
Seotlard, at that timte visiting with
lEnglish fri~ids at a neighboring es
I tate. EveryJhing went merrily, and
when the pai~ty wvas over and: mutual
Scongra.tulations inb adieus had been
Sxchanged. everyone returned home
-ighly satisfied with the pleasanttime
-thay ad spent at aiordale astle. A.
oIW two friends r W reri
- lt -*ul- -.
speak of anything beside their
respective ladies. Dick was, how
ever, the most impre sedl aid swore
that he was dead in .love. The date
for their yachting tour had been set
• for one month ahead, and in the
meantime Dick becane so frequent a
visitor at Fairdale, that the whole
county began to whisper about a
love-match.
Miss Fairdale was somewhat of a
coquet, and had made more conquests
than one without being canught her=
self; but, this time she scemed to be
thoroughly sinceoe. However,a week
or so before Dick and his friend went
away, Lord Rotherham came down to
Fairdale Castle from Lo on - He
was a hearty, gay young _ , brave,
light hearted, generous, hpd, fascinat
in;g, and of appearance tall, and
commanding. Of course he paid1
considerable attention to the daughter
of the house. This made -Chattaras 1
jealous. Marguerite Fairdale seeing
this paid nearly all of her attention
to the new comer. Dick became quite
piqued, and went home in a rage, one
afternoon. He told his woes to h:s
friend, who laughed at him, and said
"Dicky boy, the best thing for you to
do is to start on our tour at once. If
you remain hero your temper will
not be imlfpoved, that is evident."
The upshot of it all was that the
two friends could be seen the next!
night walking up and down the deck
of the Petril, as they smoked their
cigars in the soothing evening breeze.
Next morning they weighed anchor,
spread their snowy canvas, turned
their prow westward and sailed away
from Old England. Neither know of
all the events which would occur before
their return to the sea. bound isle.
Sailing we.t and south, they duly
arrived at New Orleans, where they
en gaged a colored cook, and
took in large stores of choice provis
ions. Their compliment now consist
ed of a captain, three able seaman, a
cook, and ships' boy, who also acted
as steward. Steering southward and
touching at Vera Cruz, Champeachy
and Palma Point, they sailed E. by N.
to Cuba, lay at Havana a few days,
coasted around to Trinidad, then
went S.E. to Jamaca, porting at Kings
f.'n
W e neglected to state tiat theyL had
aboard, as an only companion, a scien
e tific friend. The n.ne of this gen
*d tleman was Doiiald Maecduff, A. I.
I F.R.S., te. iHe was a small, spare
man. shaggy eyebrowed beneath which
twin:kled as keen a pair of eyes as
could be found. He was a thorough
1o scholar and a deep thinker. To
al strangers he was almost cold, and
es very taciturn, yet to his'friends he
d was warm and affectionate, but never
t- Ieffusive. He was an ardent lover of
1e Nature, and had collected many rare
and curious things, while they were
e cruising about in those southern wa
e ters. He had pretty sea weeds of
_ many kinds all laid out on paper with
big scientific names appended; various
r kinds of sponges, sea fans, sea urchins,
n starfish, sea horses and many other
things found only in sea. The young
I and men did considerable shark fishing
e Macduff always dissected the sharks.
Once in opening the stomach of one,
, he found some shreds of clothes and
a few too nails; another time, he found
l1 a blacking brush, box of blacking and
,s a cowhide boot in a shark's
stomach, anal the last one he
a examined one, he discovered a small
boat crushed out of shape, the paint
dissolved in patches, and the-name was
almost destroyed; but he could make
out the word Lily and then the letter
N, nothing more. The same shark
alsso contained some bits of leather:
s a case-knife, a small anchor, and some
a fish-hooks. That settled shark dis
n secting for Donald Macduff. His
nature was too sensitive to permit
him to see evidences of sad eatas
d trophes, causing the death of human
beings, without being moved. His
kind heart sickened at the thought of
j the cruel deaths that had, evidently,
occurred, and as ,he thought of the
homes that might have been l'eft deso
Iate through the ravages of these
man-eating sharks, he sent up a
reverential prayer to heaven to com
Sfort the afflicted in their distress.
During all this time Dick Chat
Starass had brooded more or less over
the Fairdale affair. He considered
r that he 'was a very much. injured
Syoung man; and so he was; for o
matter how much". amusement it may
give a woman to win the hearts of
f men, but to throw I.-hemaside, it. is I

glad, for it pained him to see his
friend so persistently melancholy.
One morning they landed in a
beautiful cove of a small island near
the Swan- islands in the Caribbean
sea. This island is not over half a
mile square v .i can be found on no
map save a nautical chart of that
region. Its south shore is fringed
with palm trees, and magnolias,
bannanas, oranges, citrons, and
various other trees and shrubs are
scattcrsd over the whole island, some
single or in small groups and others
miniature fo.ests or gro es. This
island appeared of volcanie tr:kin,
the center of it was twenty feet
higher than the. circm:eerensean. 1
covered by fiat rocks. The eastern
shorýe was rocky rising, almost direct
ly from the waters' edge to the height
' of fiteenu feet, for a distance of about
a quarter of a mile. Near the center
of this cliff was a fissure in the rockI
about I.w f et wide. The morning
the Potril landed the:e, Dick went
asho'e with the others, and wandered
ai'o~and the eastern shore alone. The
isiand was very beautiful and his curi
.o:ity was aroused; for he had heard
of how the pirates had used many of
these islands as rendezvous. When
he catme to this fissure, he stopped.
He could see by peering in that the
crevice led back into the rock a long
distance, but could not discover the
end. Said he to himself, "This may
be the entrance to a large cave; and if
a large cave, it is likely to hlLve been
known to the pirates. So here goes."
So saying, he commenced to work his
way i ward. He had not gone two
yards before the fissure widened into
a passage. A few rays of light feebly
glimmered down from above. Dick
advanced perhaps ten yards when he
was forced to come to a stop, for the
way closed before him, in the shape
of a sohlid wall of rock. "Well, well,"
lihe muttered, "this is funny. Let me
see. Why here is an old sash: some
body has been here before me." Ex
amining the wall carefully and tap
ping it with a small hatchet he car
ried with him, he made the startling
discovery that the wall was not solid,
as it gave back a hollow sound to his
strokes. Suddenly he espied the end
of a rope dangling from above. Seeing
it he tried to pull it down, but with-
out success. Upon a second effort,
however, much to his surprise, the end
of the passage turned, as on a pivot,
giving him entrance ahead. It now
looked as though Dick was to have a
real adventure. Drogppin the- rope
he walked tLrough the entrance to
the cave beyond. There was a hole
in the roof that let in the golden sun
light without stint. Oh! the beauties
of that cave are beyond the descript
ive powers of mortal pen. The vault
ed roof fairly blazed with glittering
stalactites of blue, purple, crimson,
red, green, amber and gold. They
were stalactites of precious stones,
formed by that great alchemist Nature,
in his secret laboratory. Here and there
arose gigantic columns supporting
the expansive dome, grand old arches
glittered with a thousand brilliancies
in every direction. This cave was,
perhaps, one hundred yards square;
but it had numerous branches, and
these, our Richard proceeded to ex
plore. Turning into one at the right.
he espied an immence carved chest
lying open. "Ha! ha!" thought he, j
"Now we have it." This clibst con
tained Spanish gold coin, diamonds,
and rich antique jewelry of all de
scriptions. Stacked in one corner of
the cave were cutlasses, swords mus-j
kets and many other instruments of
naval warfare. Another chest; which
Dick opened, contained leathern sacks
filled with gold dust, and, hanging on
the wall was a crucifix while on the
sandy floor, directly under it, lay the
skull of ahuman being with the top
crushed in. The sight made Dick
shudder and recalled him to his senses.
"What if the place should be inhabit
ed now?" thought he. "If they find
me they will kill me, and then good
bye to poor Charlie and Macduff;
good bye to all hopei of ever ivinning
the hand of Marguerite Fairdale.
When he thought of her a tender
feeling crept over him and he. softly
repeated.
"In thee, I fondly hoped to clasp
A friend, whom death alone could sever;
Till envy, with malignant grasp,
DI tach'd thee from my breast forever."
"Af; no, dear heart, not forever,"
corrected he. "What -might that be?
By Jove! I thought I heard a
woman's voice." He looked and
listened; but heazd nosound.'Follow

thought the voice came, lhe en< :

ly, and the girl looked up and saw
him. She gazed a moment, then said
in good En fish, "Come in sir." Dick

Ifree. A. short silence followed,
which waS broken by Dc1i's asking
"Have you lived long in this fair;
retreat, Miss. I almost took
you for a Ftery queen." She
replied, 'I have been here nearly a
year. I ann a prisoner here. How
came younhere?" "I," said Dick, "came
here by accident, I and some friends
are on a yachting tour.. This morn
ing wg landed here and have been
roaming over this island. I found
this cave and entered. I am not a
prisoner, neither have I found any
one to dispute my presence here.'
The lady said, "I am so glad of that.
I am sure- you are a gentleman."
Dick said "My name is Sir Richard
Chattarass, of Redeliffe Manor, one of
the oldest families in England. May
I ask how came you here Miss?"
'Yes," she replied, "If you will listen
I will tell you my story." "With
pleasure," said Dick. The younggirl
straightened up and told her story as
follows.
"It is neaily a year ago since the
merchant vessel Cornucopia command
ed, and owned by my father, Captain
Boynton, was sailing in Carrabbean
waters. The vessel was becalmed
near this island for about two days
when, one morning four or five long
boats hove in sight. They ceontained
some of the fiercest, wildest, and most
bloodthirsty looking men I

ion. My father- gave orders
pare the ship for action; for, said
'They are pirates.' Before things,
were all ready the wretches were along
side, and swarmed the bulwarks like
bees; they wei e armed to the teeth, and.
outnumbered our crew, six to , one...
Our sailors gave a shout and rushed
at the monsters with drawn cutlasses.
Oh! the fearful carnage that ensued.
The decks were slippery with
gore. The groans, shrieks and
cries were terrible The - pirates
pressed us on every side. Bravely a
our men fought, shey were fore
give way. My poor father (her
trembled and a tear -.istened in
eye) as a last hope, rallied his
forces. and rushed to the fray.
alas! why 0! why was I ever born?
My father's sudden onslaugh stag
gered the murderers for an instant;
but quickly recovering, they sprang
to the front with fiercer determina
tion, carrying all before them. Our
men were mowed down, and father
was wounded. Staggeringly he kept
his face to the foe, till a heart
less monster brained him with a pike.
For a minute I seemed to know noth
ing. My brain was in a whirl. My
eyes were blinded with sorrow and
despair. I quickly recovered and saw,
one by one, the rest of our crew cut
to pieces.
The captain of the pirates suddenly
espied me and cried out 'Oho ho,'
what a rich prize! He rushed for
ward and bowing low in cruel mockery
while he held his reeking sword in
th o hollow of his arm, said 'Fair lady,
permit me. to escort you from this
bloody scene.' I shrank from him.
He continued, 'Fear no harm lady
mine. I have won you, although un
knowingly, and shall treasure you as
the fairest and richest of all my gems.'
I managed to--find voice to say, 'You
heartless. murderous wretch, you kill
ed my father and all those :brave,
true nnea.' He laughed scornif'lly,
and said 'Pretty maid, I will be yoiur
father now, and, I would kill a dozen -
fathersT and a thousand brave, true
men to win such a flower as you.
Come with me.' I refused. He call
ed two of his im~nious, and told them
to tie my hands together and put mame
in his boat; but cautioned t ,hem ..e
