Shortly hoforo tho arrival of tho 12ns

U.iy to protect tho Aitierlean coasters,
niitl while the lirithh snllotl up to C.n
tine, ho lay at Thoniaaton.
It was u tehooner that tho Commo
doro commanded, hut she was u heavy
one, well armed and manned ; and that
f-hoearried.thotrue Yanl:co "grit" upon
her decks the enemy had received, from
them, rather too many proof-:. On the
inorniiij; of tho liSth of August, it mes
senger was rontdown from llelfast with
the Intelligence that the ISrltl-h frigate
was coming from C.istiuo to tako him.
Tucker knew that tho British fcareil
lilm, anil also that Hi .-John Hlierlirooke
had offered a largo amount for his cap
ture. When tho Commodore received tho
Inlelllgcnce.hls vessel win lyingat onuof
tho low wharves where ho would havu
to wait two hours for tho lido to set him
oil"; hut ho hastened to ltavo every
thing prepared to get her oil' as ,s ,011 as
po'sihlo, for lie had no desire to meet
tho frigate.
Tho schooner's keel was Just cleared
from theinud, and one of tho men hail
hecn i-rnt upon tho wharf to cast olithc
howling, when 11 wrgon drawn by 0110
hoivo eamo rattling down to tho 5pot.
The driver, 11 rough looking country
man got out upon tho wharf, and then
assisted a mitldlo-agid woman from
tho vehicle. Tho lady's ilrst enquiry
was for Commodore Tucker. Ho was
pointed out to her, and i-ho slopped up
on the i-ehooner's tltck, nml approached
him.
"Commodore," iho asked, "when do
you tall from hero'.'"
"Wo sail tight oir, as soon as possible,
madam."
"Oh, then, I know you v,IH ho kind
to me," tho lady urged, In persuasivo
tones. ".My poor litl-hand died yes
terday, and I wish to carry hl corpse
to Wicasset, whcro wo belong, ami
wliero his parents will tako euro of
It."
"Hut, my food woman, I shan't go to
Wieiisst."
"If you will only laud mo nt tho
intuitu of tho Slieepscot, I will ask no
more, 1 can easily ildd : boat thero to
tako 1110 up."
"Where is tho body'.'" asked Tuck
er,
"In tho wagon," returned tho lady,
at tho fame tlmu raising tiio corner of
her shawl to wlponway tho gathering
tears, "I have a sum of mouoy with
me, and you shall ho paid for tho
trouble,"
"Tut, tut, wnnuu ( If 1 ficconimodato
you, thero won't bo nny pay abuut It."
Tho kind-hearled old Commodore was
not tho man to refuse a favor, and
though ho liked not tho bother of tnklup
tho woman and her otr.iugo accouip-ml-ment
on bimid, yet ho could not refuse,
When ho told her ho would do as she
1'ctjue.sted she thanked him with many
tears 111 ner eyes.
Sonio of tho moil wero sont upon tho
wharf to brine: tho bodv on board. A
long buffalo robo was lifted off by tho
man who drovo tho wagon, and beneath
It appeared u neat black codln, Sonio
words wore passed by tlnuseamon, at
they vrero putting tho collln on board,
which went to shorr pretty plainly that
the nfTalr did not exactly suit them. It
may have been but prejudice on their
part, but then seamen should bo allow
eh n prejudice, oueo in 11 while, when
wo consider tho many Morn realities
llicy htxvo to encounter. "Hush, my
good 111011," said tho Commodore, as
ho heard their murmured remonstran
ces. "Ktipposoyou were to dlo, away
from home would you not wish that
your last remains might 110 carrUd to
yoir poor parents V Come, hurry
no',"
Tho men i-uld no more, and ero long
tlie eollln was placed In tho hold, and
Imwininn was shown (o tho cabin,-
In less than, halfan hour, the schooner
was cleared from tho wharf, and stand
ing out from tiio bay. Tho wind was
light from tho eastward, but Tucker
had no fear of the frigate now that ho
was oueo out of tho liny.
in tlio evening, Iho lady passenger
came on deck, and tho Commsdoro as.
stircd her that ho should bo nblotn land
her early on tho next morning. SI10
expressed her Rr.itlludo and satlsfae
tion, and remarked that before she re.
tirru sno siiouitt iiko to look and see
that her husband's eorp-o was safe,
This was ofenurso granted, and 0110 of
thei.i lifted oir tho hnlch,tliatfiho might
go down Into tho hold.
"I declare,," muttered Daniel Carter,
nu old sailor, who was standing nt the
wheel," "she takes on dro'fully 1"
"Yes, poor thing!" raid Tucker, as
ho heard her sons and groan.
"D'yo notice wliat'n oyo she's got?"
continued Caiter.
"Xo." F.ltd Tucker, "only 'twas swol
len with tears."
"Myoycs! but they shone, though,
when sho stood here looking at tho
compass."
Tucker smiled at tho man's riualnt
earnestness, and without furthor re
mark ho went down to tho cabin.
When tho woman oarno up from the
hold, Mio looked about tho deck of tlio
schooner fur a fow moment, and then
went aft. There was something in her
countenance (hut puzzled Carter. lie
had been 0110 of tho.' who objected to
tlio collln's being brought on board,r.iul
henco ho was not predisposed to look
very favprably upon Its owner. The
woman's eyo ran over tho schooner's
deck with .1 strango quickness, anil Car
ter eyeu 'tti r.i..I v . Woort she
went to tlio talTrail and looked ovcriti'
the stern boat and then she onmo and
stood the binnacle again.

tittered the passenger.

This li.-t ejaculation Dan iiindoii" he
seemed to pull something from (lie
woman's hair, vihleh ho threw upon
tho deck with tho "ugh .'" above men
tioned. Shortly nfler, the 1 n--cngor went be
low, and oie long Tucker cameon dock.
"Commodore," fald Carter, Tilth a
remarkable degree of earnestness in ills
manner, "is tho 'oiiiau turned in V"
"I rather think so," fald Tucker,
looking nt tlio conipas?. . "Look out,
lool: out, Carter! ' Why, man alltg,
you're two points to tho fouthward" of
your course."

bringing the helm smartly nport. "lint
say, didn't yo notice anything peculiar
about the old 'omnn'."'
"Why Dan, you secin greatly Inter
e'sled about her."
"Mo I am, Commodoie, iu' so I am
about the cofiln, too' Wouldn't It he
well for you and I to overhaul It ?"
" lVhaw ! you m o as scared as n child
in 11 graveyard,"
Xo, not n lilt. .Ins! hark a lilt. That
Oman ain't 110 'oman."
The Commodore pronounced the nanio
ofhisH.itanlc Majesty in the most em
phatic maimer.
"It's the truth, Commodore I can
swear to it. I portended there was a
spider on her face. Ity .Sain Utile, If
it wasn't as rough and bearded ns an
holystone. You see, sho told me, as how
I'd let tho boom glim if I didn't look
out. I know thero wasn't no 'oman
there-, and so I tried her. Call some
body to thevrheel.and let's iro and look
it that oomin."
Cite Commodore was wonili r struck
by what ho had hoard, hut, what ho
was, ho sat coolly to tliluili g In u few
minutes ho called one of the men aft
to relievo Carter, and then ho went
down to look nfler Ids passenger, 'Iho
latter had turned in, and sesmed to bo
sleeping. Tucker returned, nml took
Carter ono ale.'
Xo iioise now, tarter : follow mo in

"fsartin."
Tho two approached tho main hatch,
and stooped to rulso it, when D.m's
hand touched a small ball that seemed
to liavo been pinned up under tho nftc
break of tho hutch.
"It's a ball of twine," said he.
"Don't touch It, but run and get ft
lantern," replied Tucker.
Carter sprang to obey, and when ho
returned a number of the men had
snthercd about the spot, Tho hatch
was raised, and the Commodore care
fully picked up the ball of twine, and
found thnl It was made fast to sonnt-
thlng below. He dcscondwl to the
hold, and there he found that the twlno
ran in between tho lid of tho cofiln,
IIo had uoihiiibt In his mind now, that
thero was mischief boxed up below,
and ho sent Carter fur somuthlng that
might nnswer for screwdriver. Tho
man soon leturiicd wltli a stout knife,
nml tho Commodore set to work, IIo
worked very carefully, however, at
tho same time keeping 11 bright lookout
for tho string.
At longlli tho screws were out, and
tho lid very carefully lifted from Its
place.
"Great God In heaven !" hurst from
the lips of tho Commodore,
"H.r Bam llydol" dropped llko a
tltinder-bolt from' tho tonguo of young
Dan.
tV'God bless you, D.n !" said tho Coin
imidore,
"I know'd It!" uttered D.m,

(lore was to call for water, nud when It
was bronght, he dashed threo or four
Imeketsfitll Into tho Infernal contrivance
and then ho breathed more freely.
"Xo, no," ho uttered, ns ho leaped
from tho hole. "Xo, no my men.
Do nothing rashly. Let mogo into the
cuhjn Ilrst. You may follow me."
Commodore Tucker strodo Into tha
cabin, walked up to tho hunk wherelils
passenger lay. anil grasping hold of the
femaio dress, ho dragged Its weaierout
upon Iho lloor. There was .1 sharp re
sistance, and the passenger drew n pis
tol, but It was quickly knocked away
tho gown was torn off, nud a man
eamo forth from the remnants of calico
ami linen.
Tho fellow was assured that his whole
plot had been discovered. At length hn
owned that it had liven his plan to turn
out in tho course of tho night and get
hold of tho ball of twine, which ho had
left In a convenient plnco; ho then in
tended to have gone 11ft, carefully tin
nlnding tho string .-.s ho went along;
then to have got Into the boat, cut tho

"And I think you know," he contin

I'm sorry I didn't tlo it."
It wr.s with dimculrv that the Com
modore prevented Ids men from killiiiK
tho villain on th spot. IIo proved to

was to havo a heavy reward If he .-no-

Tho priom-.r was carried on deck ami
l.v bed to the main rigging, where ho
was told to remain until the "vo'scl go!
In port.
"What a horrid death that villain
meant for us," uttered Carter.
"Yes, ho did." said Tucker, with a
shudder.
"IIo belongs to tho same gang that's
been a robbln' nml burnln' the pour
folks' houses on tho Kastern oiast,"
said one of tho men.
"Ye-," said the Commodore, with a
nervous twitch of the muscles about
his mouth.
A bitter curse fiom tha prisoner here
broke upon tho air, and with a clutched
fist the Commodore went below.
In tho morning when Tucker eamo
on di k, .Si'guln was in sight upon the
slai board bow, but when he looked fur
tlio prisoner ho whs gone.
"Curler, whore's tho villain I la. lied

"I'm-suro I don't know wheroho is,
Commodore. Perhaps bo's Jumped
overboard." ' -t.....
The old Commodore looked sternly
In Carter's eyes, and ho saw a twlnklo
of satisfaction gleaming there. IIo hesi
tated a momentand then he turnctl
away, anil muttered to himself:
"Well, well I can't blamo them. If
tho murderous villain's gone to death
bo's only met a fato which he richly de
served. Hotter far bo it for hint, than
that all my noble crow wero now In the
