Heaven han beheld ‘and will remember. When all falled and I saw you must be sold to pay my debts 1 remembered the jewels that remained to me. 1 caught up this bag and fled. Close upon my track are the pursuers; perhaps to-morrow they will land upon this isle, sacred to the mem- ory of the dear soul that bore you, to consign your father to an ignomin- vous prison and yourself to slavery. ‘Ve have not many hours before us. On the north coast of our Isle, by xtrange good fortune, an English yacht has for some days been hovering. It belongs to Sir George Greville, whom 1 slightly know, to whom ere now 1 have rendered unusual service and who will not refuse to help In our escape. Or if he did, if his gratitude were in default, I have the power to force him. or what does It mean, my child—what means this Englishman, who hangs for years upon the shores of Cuba, and roturns with every trip with new and valuablé gems?” He may have found a mine,’ I haz- arded. “So he declares,” “put the strange gift I have received from nature easily transpierced the fable, He is a wholesale thief, a pirate. No, child, that man, for all his yacht and title, that man must fear and must obey. To-night, then, as soon as it is dark, we must take our way through the swamp by the path which I shall presently show you; thence, across the highlands of the isle a track is blazed, which shall conduct us to the haven on the north; and close by the yacht is riding. Should my pursuers come before the hour at which I look to see them, they will still arrive too lat a trusty man attends on the mainland; as soon ‘as they appear, we shall behold, if it be dark, the redness of a fire, if it be day, a pillar of smoke, on the oppos- ing headland; and thus warned, we shall have time to put the swamp be- tween ourselves and danger. Mean- time, I would conceal this bag; I would, before all things, be seen to arrive at the house with empty hands; |@ babbling slave might else undo us. ‘For see!" he added; and holding up the bag, which he had already shown me, he poured into my lap a shower of unmounted jewels, brighter than ftowets; “of “every size ahd’ calor, and catching, as they fell, upon a million dainty facets, the ardor of the sun. I could not restrain a cry of admira- He hurried me toward the near- turned my father; “4g the entrance of et path that I have mentioned, and here you shall await me, T but pass some hundreds of yards into the swamp to bury my pour treas as soon as that Is safe I will return.

Why should T dwetl@pon his sufterings? I had him carried to a bed and watched beside him, Eut before morning he dled. With the first light of dawn a boat had reached our landing-place, and act on shore upon our Isle (till now so fortunate) a party of officers bearing a warrant to arrest my father's person, and a man of gross body and low man- nérs, who declared the Island, the plan- je STEVENSON’S # & ‘a — Most Thrilling Romance The Fair Guban. tation and all its human ollattels to be now his own. ‘I think,” said my alave girl, “he must be @ politicion or some very powerful sorcerer; for Mme, Men- dizabal hag no sooner seen them coming than she took to the woods.” “Fool,” eaid I, “it was the officers she feared; and at any rate, why does that beldam still dare to pollute the Island with her presence? And, oh! Cora," 1 exclaimed, remembering my grief, “what matter all these troubles to an orphan?” “Mistress,” said ehe, “I must remind you of two things. Never speak as you @o now of Mme, Mendizabe); or neyer to a person of color; for she is the most powerful woman in this world, and her real name even, !f one durst Pronounce it, were a spell to raise the dead. Your poor Core is already deep enough in her diack books. She looks at me, mistress, till my Blood turns ice. That ts the first I had to say; and now for the second; do, pray, for heaven's sake, bear in mind that you are no longer the poor senor’s daugh- ter. He is gone, dear gentleman; and now you are no more than a common siave girl like my: The man to whom you belong calls for you; oh, my dar mistress, go at once.” Composing my features to @ smile, I went forth to meet my master. He was in a great, hot bustle, re- viewing that hdlise, once ours, to which he had but now’ @ucceeded; a corpulent, sanguine man of middle age, sensual, vulgar, humorous, and, if I judged rightly, hot ill-disposed by nature. But the sparkle that came into his eye as ho observed me enter warned me to ex- pect the worst. “Is this your late mistress’ he in- quired of the slaves, and when he had learned it was so instantly dismissed them. “Now, my dear,” said he, ‘I am a plain man; none ef your damned Spaniards, but a true blue, hard-work- ing, hor Englisoman. My name ‘s Caulder." “Thank you, sir,” sald I, and courte- sied very smartly as I had seen the servants. “Come,” said he, “this is better than T had expected, and if you choose to be dutiful in the station to which it has pleased God to call you, you will find me a very kind old fellow. I like your lool he added, calling me by my name, ‘which he scandalously mis- pronounced. “What is more to the point 1s this: Your late maeter was @ moet dis- honest rogue, and levanted with some valuable property that belonged of rights to me. Now, considering your relation to him, I regard you as the likeliest person to know what has be- come of {t; I warn you, and before you answer, that my wholp future kind- neas will depend upon your honesty. I am an honest man myself and expect the same in my servants." “Do vou mean the jewels?" said 1. sinking my voice into a whisper. “That {s just precisely what I do," nid he. and chuckled. “Hush!” said 1, “Hush? he repeated. “And why ush? Tam on my own place, I would have you to know, and surrounded by. my own lawful servants.” “Are the officers gone?” I asked; and oh, how my hopes hung upon the an- swer, “They are.” said he, looking somewhat diaconcerted. “Why do you ask?” “1 yish you had kept thgm,” T an- swéred solemnly enough, althougu my henrt at that same moment leaped with exultation, .aaster, I must not conceal from vou the truth, The servants on this estate are in a dangerous conaition, y has long been brewing.” he orled, “I never saw a | milder-looking lot of niggers In my life,” ut for all that he turned somewhat i they tell you."
