For several miDUtes the prisoner con
tem plated these lines in silence, and
then aroused himself, looking warily
“Three times I have tried to escape
in a canoe,” he muttered, “and every

He gazed in perfect stupefaction to
the eastward, far out upon the ocean.
There, mileß and leagues away was a
ship, her white sails gleaming as she
lay becalmed upon the waters!
“A ship! a ship!” cried Lester, sob-
bingly. “At last, oh Heaven ! At last
my prayer is answered l”
THE PRISONER’S HOME.
On the east bank of the Elizabeth
river, just out of Norfolk, and overlook
ing Hampton Roads, stood a beautiful
cottage, the home of the wife'and
daughter of David Lester, the prisoner
of the lone island in the far Pacific.
Near the dose of a lovely afternoon
in May, Mrs. Lester and her daughter
sat together upon their front verandah.
The mother was a lovely, sweet-faced,
sad-eyed woman of two and thirty I
years. i
The daughter, Amy Lester, not yet
Jifteen,.wasastrauge compound of child
and woman.
“You are tkiuging of father, dear
mother?” murmured the maiden, as
she marked the lady’s longing gaze.
“Yes, child. Your father, my hus
band; where is he? Somewhere un
der the sea waves, wrecked on a desert
island, or languishing on a hostile
shore ? It is five years since he left us
on that fatal voyage to China. My rea
son assures me that he is dead; yet,
Amy, I cau only think of him as liv
ing.”
“It is so with me,mother,” said Amy,
with a tremulous quiver of her lips. “I
dream often that he is living —that he
is coming home?”
“We need him in a hundred ways,
said Mrs. Lester, sighing. “If anything
were to happen to me, Amy, 1 shudder
to thing wnat would become of you.
You have been brought up in luxury,
and would feel keenly auy change to
poverty.”
“Are we not rich, then, mother?”
naked Amy, in surprise.
“I supposed bo, dear, until threeyears
ago.” replied the mother sadly. “Your
father was a merchant and ship-owner,
a partner of Coi. Nichols. Buttwo years
ago Col, Nichols informed me that the
outstanding debts of the firm more than
balanced the assets; in short, Amy, that
he was on the verge of bankruptcy, his
fortune and ours alike wrecked!”
“ I don’t like Colonel Nichols !” said
Amy thoughtfully. “If he lost all his
money with ours, how does he live in
such grand style? To whom do liia
ships and great house belong?”
■ “To bis nephew, Ally Bell. Colonel
Nichols is Ally’s guardian. The Col
onel has nothing of his own, excepting
a farm or two up-country which were
not risked in the business.”
Amy contracted her little brows re
flectively, aud wasabout to reply, when
’ the garden gate swung on its hinges,
and a boyish figure came lightly up the
walk.
" It’s Ally, mother—it’s Ally Bell!’
‘exclaimed Amy, all smiles and blushes.
“ I’ll bring him to you.”
The young girl ran lightly down the
verandah steps and met the new-comer,
linking her arm in his, aud drawing
him geutly towards the house.
He was a lad of seventeen, an orphan,
the nephew and ward of Colonel
Nichols. Brightandgayandhaudsome,
Allen Bell was also impetuous, ardent,
' and Intelligent —one of those noble,
manly boys who mature early into grand
and noble men. Boy as he was, he
loved Amy Lester with a pure and chiv
alrous love, which bade fair to deepen
iu time into the great love of his life.
He was the bearer of a letter from his
uncle to Mrs. Lester, aud having deliv
ered it, he strolled with Amy down the
wide garden walks into the cool shadows
of a grove at the bottom of the garden.
“Dve been expecting you this good
while, Ally,” said Amy, with charmiug
frankness. “I thought you would be
down here to try those scientific exper
iments to-day!”
“We’ll try them 10-night, Amy,” re
plied Ally. “The blue lights show bet
ter at uight. I’m getting along finely
in my chemistry, Amy. I like it best
of all my studies.”
“I ain sure you do,” said Amy, earn
- estly. “You are the nicest boy I ever
saw!”
Ally Bell laughed aloud. Amy’s
childlike simplicity and outspoken
truthfulness were her greatest charm in
his eyes.
“The sight of that brig yonder,” said
Ally, “reminds me that I promised to
meet Col. Nicholson board of it directly
after I delivered that letter to your
mother. I must go uow, but you may
expect me as soon as it’s dark.”
He clasped her in hia arms and kissed
her.
For a minute the youthful lovers stood
at the garden gate, towards which they
had slowly walked, andhere they parted
soberly—Aliy to go down to the brig
where he had engaged to meet his uncle,
and Amy to return to her mother.
She found Mrs. Lester, the open letter
in her lap, silent and motionless as a
statue, her attitude that of profound de
spair.
“What is it, mother?” cried Amy,
in wild alarm, springing to her side.
Mrs. Lester looked at her daughter
with a woe-stricken face.
“ O, Amy ! ” she cried, turning to that
brave, childish heart for strength and
comfort. “ Colonel Nichols writes me
that we are beggars! He reminds me
that ho has asked me three several
times to marry him. Aud, Amy, he
says he knows your father to be dead,
and he oilers himself to me for the last
time. He reminds me ofmy ill health,
of your youth aud helplessness. And
he says,” and Mrs. Lester’s voice broke
down in a tempest of sobs, “ thaton the
one band he oilers me wealth, comfort,
and happiness, on the ( other poverty
and sorrow. It I refuBo,him, he swears
to turn us out of our home to-morrow !”
“Oh, mother!” exclaimed Amy,
with a sharp cry, as she hid her face in
her bosom.
CHAPTER 11.
DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LlllF.R'l Y,
Before Ally Bell reached tho brig
lying at the wharf, his uncle, Colonel
Nichole, had been there aqd arranged
with the Captain, who went by the
name of Hiley, to carry Ally off to
China, for which service the Colonel
promised to give the Captain the brig
and ten thousand dollars, in case the
boy never came back, Hiley was a
murderer, whose real name was Sprouls,
and Colonel’Nichols had robbed Mrs.
Lester, aDd now wanted to rob his
nephew and have him murdered, and
Hiley knew, that, and resolved that Ally
Bell should never see Norfolk again
“ Where >b the lad ?” he asked as he
and Colonel Nichols finished drinking
success to their nefarious schemes, to
which the Colonel replied:
“ He should be here at this very mo
ment. Ah, I hear his step on deck now!
Here he comes!”
Even as he spoke Ally Bell came
hurryinglnto the cabin, his face flashed
\ with pleasurable excitement,
•' •* I’m just in time to see you off, Cap
\ tain Hiley,” he said, not noticing the
1 guilty Tooks of the conspirators. “ The
wind is fair, and the crew anxious. A
good voyage to you Captain. Bring me
- rarest* when you return. They
are for a little girl’s cabinet, and most
7 aye, Mr. Allen,” responded
the heartily. “ Adn’ty on see
my coUeotion of shells In yonder state
room? No? Ton are weloome to yonr
choice of them all, sir-”.
He advanced, ••and flnng open the
state-room door. .
Ailv bent forward and looked In.
With a quick thrust, Hiley pushed
him into the little room, and hurriedly
*°With an exultant smile Colonel Nich
olas said adieu, and went ashore.
The next minute the hurried tramp
ling of feet was blended with the songs
of the stout seamen, as the brig moved
slowly from the wharf towards the sea.
Ally’s first thought, on finding him
self locked up in Captain Hiley’s state
room, was that the two men were jok
ing—merely intending to scare him a
little, and then let him out; but he
Boon discovered that the Quickstep— the
brig was so named—had left her wharf,
and was standing down the Elizabeth
river towards the ocean.
The truth flashed upon him 1
“I see it all!” he cried, leaping to his
feet. “Hiley is taking me to sea with
him! Captain Hiley!” he shouted,
pounding on the wall, “open the door,
this minute! Let me out, or it will be
bad for you!”
No reply was made to him —no at
tention paid to his cries.
He saw that he was fast.
For a moment he was stunned by the
knowledge of his situation.
Then he drew up his slight, boyish
figure proudly, his eyes flashing defi-
ance. ,
“The thing for me to do,” he mused,
is to help pnyself. A boy who can t
fight his own way will never be a man I
drawing from his pocket a match, of
which he usually carried a supply, he
lighted the candle in Its box at one end
of the Btate room.
“I see," he mentally commented,
looking around, in the light thus fur
nished. “Here’s a whole dray load of
boxeß and bundles. And here a a can
non too,” added Ally—" a small one,
which is expected, no doubt, to bring a
big price from those simple natives in
the South Bea.
“ I can use this thing,” thought the
boy, with kindling eyes. "A have
plenty of powder in my pocket'.’
He had boeght this powder just be
fore he came aboard of the brig, for the
experiments he had promised to show
Amy that very evening. j
Without more ado, Ally set at worK t
loading and firing the little cannon as
rapidly as possible, smashing the door,
and calling out for everybody to keep
out of the way. The captain and crew
were frantic with fear, as there was a
large qnantity of powder In the state
room, and the prospect warthattheship
would be blown to atoms. Having filled
the state room and cabin with smoke,
Ally seized one of the Captain s revol
vers, burst open the shattered door,
rushed upon deck, and leaped into the
“Thunder and lightning!” cried
Hiley, startled beyond expression.
“After that boy, all of you! Satan
himself is in him! A hundred dollars
to the man who first puts a hand upon
him 1” ...
With a yell, as of blood-hounds, halt
a dozen of Hiley’s men splashed into
the river,- incited by the promise of
money, and sprang to the pursuit, while
Hiley, hastily lowering a boat, rowed
after his men, whom he soon overtook,
one after another, and ordered into the
boat. They then pulled on after Ally,
who had distanced the men while they
were in the water, but who could not
compete with the boat. Arriving at an
old sunken schooner, a long way from
the shore, the boy climbed upon the
topmast, and looked back at Hiley, who
waß rabidly approaching. The captain
felt sure of his prey, and was telling his
men how to seize the boy, when Ally
suddenly fell from the topmast, as if
jShot, and immediately sunk from sight.
? “Thunder and lightning!”
Hiley, “he’s gone! ”
“Gone?” echoed all the men in chorus.
“Yes, gone!” aud Hiley sprang to
his feet, bending forward. “ I saw him
go ! He fell back into the water, and
went down like a bullet, without the
least cry! Pull for your lives! ”
The men obeyed. The boat was
quickly beside ihe topmast. But no
trace of the boy could be found l
I’ll take my Bible oath,” said Hiley,
“that the young salamander has not
gone towards the nearest shore—or any
other. A cramp or a shark has took
him!” , , ~.
The eyes of the scheming villain lit
up strangely, almost savagely.
“And such beiDg the fact, men,” add
ed he, “we may as well give up the
search.” . lt
The men resumed theiroars, the Cap
tain the tiller, and the boat returned in
silence to the brig, with Ally clinging
quietly to the stern—his head just far
enough out of the water to enable him j
to breathe—and there he continued to i
stay until the boat returned to the brig. ,
And then, the boat being left in the I
water, at the stern of the brig, it occur- ,
red to Ally to unfasten the boat from its
painter, let it drift down stream some
distance, then climb into it, and row
away for Norfolk, which he at ouce did.
For a miuute or two the boat contin
ued to speed away in the darkness.
And then Ally climbed out of the
water into it, with a long sigh of relief,
and seized a pairof oars resolutely.
Crouching out of sight in the bottom
of the boat, he began rowing shorewards
—but softly, for he was still near the
brig,aud the night was so calm he feared
his enemies would hear him.
There was only too much occasion, as
it proved, for this caution.
The boat had not been gone two min
utes from the brig, when Captain Hiley,
wishing to go ashore to see Colonel
Nichols, made his way aft, and discov
ering its disappearance at ouce sent a
couple of men after it in another boat. |
Ally seeing that he must again take
to the water, took the oars along with
him, aud went drifting seaward, with
nothing but a pair of oars to support
him. t , ,
The night had now fully set in and
the tide ran fast. Cramped and chilled
by his long continuance in the water,
the boy was whirled along, growing
weaker every moment; but just as
hope was at its ebb, he suddenly beheld
asaiL behind him, rapidly approaching
under the force of a freshening breeze.
“A brig, certain l he groaned, after a
long look at the nearing cloud of can
vas. “It must be old Hiley’s! The
wind having come again, he is off for
the Pacific ocean!”
He regarded the brig, as it came near
er, asking himself if he should hail her.
“Let her be what she may,” he mut
tered, “friend or foe, I must hall her!
My strength is used up! I shall soon
slip ofT from these oars aud drown!—
Fortunately the brig is coming straight
towards me. I will hail her!"
He waited till the brig was near him,
and then carried hie resolve into exe
cution. His feeble call was heard and
answered, the brig nove to, a boat was
lowered, and he was taken aboard the
stranger. The boy had only strength
enough to learu that the brig was not
Hiley’s, aud then he fainted.
CHAPTER 111,
MORE VILLAINY
Captain Hiley, verily believing that
Ally was drowned, went ashore to in
form Col. Nichols of the fact. He found
the Colonel just coming from Mrs.
Lester’s cottage, where he had gone an
hour before, aud stunned Amy by in
forming her that Alley Bell, her lover
and hero, was being carried off to Bea
in the Quickstep , and that she would
never see him again.
The Colonel heard Hlley’s story
about Ally’s disappearance with breath
less interest, as they walked along the
beach; after which the two villains
congratulated themselves upon the
boy’s being thus completely taken out
of their patn.
„ While discussing the matter, they
heard the sound of oars, and soon saw a
boat approaching the shore opposite a
cottage belonging to an old retired sailor
named Nicholas Collins, which was sit
uated at the foot of Mrs. Lester’s garden.
In the boat was a man, and aloDg with
him was a female, sobbing convulsive
ly. Col. Nichols, with surprise and
alarm, recognized the yoice of the
weeper as that of Amy Lester. She and
her companion left the boat and eutored
the cottage, from the windows-of which
a light soon shone. Col. Nichols and
Capt. Hiley crept beneath a window to
spy and listen.. They soon learned that
Collins had rowed Amy off to the brig
in search of Ally, and that she had there
heard of his attempt to escape and his
consequent death by drowning.
Amy was vehement in her denuncia*
tions of Col. Nichols, and declared that
if Ally was really dead, she would raise
the whole country against his uncle
who had compassed his death.
On attempting to rise to go home,
Amy found she was too weak to walk,
and sent CoUins for her mother to come
to her. As Boon as the old sailor left
the cottage, Colonel Nichols proposed
to Hiley that he should carry Amy off
instead of Ally, and leave her on a
plantation of his on the coast, down by
Cape Henry, so as to silence her danger
ous tongue, and also to give him a hold
on her mother. The Captain agreed to
this, and they entered the cottage, com
ing upon Amy so suddenly that, in her
weak state, she was bo completely over
come that she fainted away.
"So much the better!" said Nichols,
stooping and gathering her in his arms.
“ Now lead the way to yonr boat HU®?;
On our way, you must overset ColUns
boat, to make think she did it ber
self in a wild mood.” .
He hurried out of the cottage bearing
his frail burden. Hiiey followed hasti
ly, and the two made their' way to the
spot where Collins* boat lay. It was
but the work of a moment fbr Hiiey to
push off the little craft and overset it.
"There, they’ll think the girl got wild
with grief, and was .drowned in an at
tempt to search for Ally again 1” said
the Colonel exultantly, tossing Amy’s
white apron upon the beach. “ That
apron will fix the matter beyond a
doubt! The wind is rising, Hiiey.
You had better take advantage of it 1
The two hurried to the waiting boat.
Hiiey laid the unconscious Amy in the
bottom, and then Beized the oars and
rowed rapidly towards the brig.
Nichols, full of exaltation, looked af
ter the boat until it was lost to view.
“My first plan was successful!’’ he
muttered. “Ally is dead! lam a rich
man! And my second plan promises a
like success! When Margaret Lester’s
heart is nearly broken at Amy’s loss, I
will offer to restore her child on condi
tion that she will marry me! The day
of my full triumph is near!”
He looked with gloating eyes sea
ward, exulting in his evil success, until
at last, nearly an hour later, the sails of
the Quickstep filled, and the brig moved
swiftly toward the sea, taking with her
Margaret Lester’s only comfort—the
distant father’s star of hope !
CHAPTER IV.
LESTER ESCAPES AND HEARS FROM
HOME.
We left David Lester on his lonely
island, planning his escape, with a ship
in sight from the elevated point where
he was at Work. He waited till night
and until a priest of the idolatrous tem
ple came to chain him in his dungeon,
where they nightly confined him ; and
then suddenly leaping upon the priest,
he bore him to the floor, chained aud
gagged him, disguised himself in his
priestly robes, stained his face brown
with dirt, went to the shore where the
canoes where lying,entered one of them,
and paddled out to sea in the direction
in which he had seen the ship.
He paddled for hours with all his
strength, and had gone so far that the
lights of the island could not be seen,
and yet no ship had been found ; and
now the wind was rising aud a storm
was threatening.
“Oh, God! Am I forsaken ?” he cried,
in an awful anguish, seized with a fear
that the wind would take the ship from
him. “ Must I perish here ? ”
At that moment when hope was dy
ing, he beheld a sight that turned all his
wild woe into yet wilder ecstasy.
There, to the northward, was the ship,
standing directly towards him, with all
sails set to catch the rising breeze, and
not half a mile away.
“Yes, there she is,” heshouted. “she
is coming this way. I am saved—
-1 saved!”
He raised his arms to heaven in a
mute thanksgiving and sobbed aloud,
N the glad tears streaming down his worn
aud haggard cheeks.
The ship came nearer and nearer.
He redoubled bis wild shouts, his
heart and soul in his voice.
An answering cry came suddenly
from the ship’s deck, and she drew
steadily nearer—swerved from her
course slightly, aud a rope was thrown
from her deck, falling into his canoe.
He seized the rope in desperate eager
ness, and a group ofsailors leaning over
the ship’s side drew him aboard.
In an instant more the ship resumed
her course, and was moving in stately
fashion before the breeze.
“Safe at lastly murmured Lester,
leaningagainstthebulwarks, weak and
nerveless as an infant. “Oh, the glad
ness of this hour!”
j Poor man! He did not dream at that
moment that his adverse fate was even
then relentlessly dosing around him;
that he was on one of his own ships —
the Cyclone ; that that ship was com
manded by a bitter foe iu league with
Colonel Nichols, who, on recognizing
him would without remorse eousigu
him again to the mercies of the Pacific
iu his ludian canoe.
Ou inquiry, Lester'learned that the
vessel was the Cyclone, and in the light
of the cabin lamp recognized her Cap
tain. Tearing oil* his priestly robe, and
wiping the stain from his face with its
coarse folds, he exclaimed :
“Captain Sales, don’tyouknowme?”
“David Lester!” cried the Captain,
turning ashy pale, and grasping hie
stationary seat as though he had receiv
ed a shock.
Lester wiped his brow and sat down,
he Captain taking a seat opposite him.
He had so much to ask, that his emo
tions choked his utterance, and pre
vented him from observing the look oi
deadly hatred with which tho Captaiu
regarded him. But he finally plied his
questions fast, and learned that his
wife yet lived, that his daughter Amy
had grown into a lovely girl, and that
both wife and daughter had long mourn
ed him as dead. He also learned of his
wife's poverty.
“Colonel Nichols settled up the firm
affairs,” said the Captain, reservedly,
“aud there was nothing left for Mrs.
Lester. She has been living on his
bounty these two or three years! When
your interest in this ship was sold, I
bought it. The Colonel owns the other
half!”
“But this is a base fraud !” exclaimed
Lester. “The Colonel has been untrue
to the trust I reposed to him ! I have
had suspicions of his integrity during
my long exile, but I, have never dared
to entertain them. I’ll make matters
straight on my return. I can prove my
claims and bring him to justice—the
dastardly villain ! My poor Margaret!”
and he groaned.
Lester’s threats concerning Nichols
seemed to stir up all the malice of the
Captain’s nature. He beheld his inter
est in the ship, fraudulently acquired,
threatened, and he hated still more the
lawful owner whose right in the Cyclone
he had usurped.
“If report speaks truly,” he said,
“Mrs. Lester need not be called ‘poor !’
Col. Nicholsjhas long been paying her
attentions, and when I left port, five
months ago, the story was that they
were engaged. The Colonel told me
himself that he loved her, and meant to
marry her. No doubt by this time they
are married!”
This cruel thrust struck home to the
poor husband’a heart, and uttering a
great cry, he fell forward with his face
upon tbo table, while the Captain re
garded him with a look
hatred and exultation. The New York
