Blood asked him quietly. And as the Spaniard fell back before him with suddenly altered countenance that confirmed his every suspicion, he flung an arm out in the directiong of the distant shore. “What land is that?" he demanded. “Will you have the effrontery to tell me that is the coast of Curacao?" . He advanced upon Don Diego sud- denly, and Don Diego, step by step, fell back. ‘Shall T tell you what land it is? Shall 1?” His fierce as- sumption of knowledge seemed to dazzle the Spanfard. “Ah, perro ingles! You know too much,” he said under his hreath, and sprang for the Captain's throat.
