ntKtKiW i in urn mi in ! i n J " '-"-? . 10 over in my befuddled mind, but without getting any nearer a conclusion. 1 did not take myclotlies off, for my brain was getting svrimniy alter its temporary clearness, so I dropped my head upon the pillow and sank into profound slumber. I must hare slept about four hours when I woke with a violent ttart. To this day I liave never known what it was that roused mc. Everything was perfectly still, andyct 1 found all my faculties in a state of ex treme tenzion." Was there someone in the room? It was very dark, but I peered about, leaning on my elbow. There was nothing to be seen, but still that eerie feeling haunted me. At that moment the flying scud passed away from the face of the moon and a flood of cold light was poured into my chamber. I turned my eyes no in stinctively, and good God I there at the window was the face, an evil, malicious face, hard cut and distinct against the sil very radiance, glaring in at mc as Minnie hail seen it the night before. For one moment I tingled and palpitated like a frightened child, the next both glass and sash were gone and I was rolling over and over on the gravel path with my arms round a tall strong man the two of us worrying each other like a pair of dogs. Almost by intuition I knew as we went down together that he had slipped his hand into his side pocScct, and I clung to that wrist like grim tieath. lie tried hard to free it but 1 was too strong tor him, and we staggered on our feel again in the same position, pant ing and snarling. "Let go my hand, d you!" he said. "Let go that pistol then," I gasped. Ve looked hard at each other in the moon light, and then he laughed and opened his lingers. A heavy glittering object, which I could see was a revolver, dropped with a clink onto the gravel. I put my foot on it and let go my grip of him. "Well, matey, how now?" he said with another lau;b. "Is that an end of a round or the end of the battle. You islanders seem a hospitable lot. You're so ready to welcome a stranger that you can't wait to find the 3onr, but must come Hying through the window like iniernal fireworks." "What do ycu want to come prowling round people's houses at night lor, with weapons iu your pocket?" I asked sternly. "I should think I needed a weapon," he answered, "when there are young devils like you knocking around. Hullo! here's another oi the family." I turned my head, and there was my father, almost at my elbow. He had come rouud from the lront door. His gray woolen nightdress and grizzled hair were 6treamiug in the wind, and he was evidently much ciciteu. lie had in his hand the tinuble-barreled gun with which he had threatened me in the morning. He put this up to his shoulder, and would most certainly liave blown out either my brains or those oi ibe stranger, bad I not turned away the barrel with mv hand. "Wait a bit, lather," I said, "let us hear what he has to say for himself. And you," H continued, turning to the stranger, "can roiiie inside with us and justify yourself if vol; can. But remember we are in a ma jontJ io keep your tongue between your teeth-" "-c't so f.'st, my young bantam," lie (.rumbled; "you've got my six-shooier ul baTe a Derringer in my Docket 1 'carncd in Colorado to carrv them both. However come along into this sliautv of vours, and iCl us CEt the i palaver over. I'm wet tlrouSa. aQd most iuiernally lungry." 31y father was st'11 mumbling to himself and jidgetiu? with h" Zuu. but he did not oppose mv taking t!ie stranger into the bouse. I 'struck a ma:-ch-a,,J ht e "' lamp in the kitchen, oil which our prisoner stooped down to it and began smoking a cigarette. As the light fei!, lnl' " h's face both mv father and I tooil a Cotl ,ook at him. He w.is a man of about -JO. icmarka lilv handsome, of rather a Sijni!!n lPf. with blue-black hair and bear-1. an1 ?u buraed features. His eyes were erv bright and their guzc so intense that yf.V would think they projected somewhat, ume,S3 "on saw him in profile. There was a uasl c,f recklessness and devilry about them, wt'c''i with bis wiry, poweiful frame and jau?y manner, gave the impression or a man whoke past b.ui been an adventurous one. Hi was elepntly dressed in a vel veteen jaiket and greyish trousers of a foreign cut. Without in the least resenting our prolonged scrutiny, he seated himse'i upon the dresfer, swinging his legs, and Idowiug little blue wreaths from his cigar ette. His appearance seemed to reassure my fjthcr, or perhaps it was the sight of the rings which flashed on the stranger's left hand every time he raised it to his lips. "Ye munmi mind Archie, sir," he said in a cringing voice. "He was aye a fashious bairn, ower quick wi' his hands, and wi' mairinuscie tlun brains. I was fashed my sel wi' the sudden stour, but as tae shootin' at ye, sir,tbat was a' an auld man's havers. 2ae doobt ye're a veesitor, or maybe it's a fcbipwreck it's no a shipwreck, is't?" The idea awoke the covetous devil in my lather's soul, and it looked out through his listening eyes, and set his long stringy hands a-shaking. "I came here in a boat," said the stranger shortly. "This was the first house I came to after I left the .-hore, and I'm not likely 50 forget the reception you have given me. That young hopeful of yours has nearly broken my back." "A good job too!" I interrupted hotly, "why coulilti't you come up to the door like a nun. instead of skulking at the window?" "Hush, Aicliie, hush!" said mv father imploiiiigly; while'our visitor grinned across sit ie as amicably as if my speech had been antst conciliatory. "I don't blame von," he said he spoke with a strange mixture of accents, sometimes with a foreign lisp, sometimes with a slight Yankee intonation, anil at other times very purely indeed. "I have done the same, mate. Maybe you noticed a brigantinc standing on and oil' the shore yesterday?" I nodded icy head. "That was mine," he said. "I'm owner, skipper and everything else. Why shouldn't a man spend his money in his own way. I like cruising about, and 1 like new expe riences. I suppose there's no harm in that. 1 ivas in the Mediterranean last month, but I'm sick of blue skies and fine weather. Chios is a d paradise of a place. I've come up here for a little fresh air and freedom. I cruised all down the western islcs,and when we came abreast ot this place of yours it rather took my fancy, so I hauled the foreyard aback and came ashore last night to prospect. It wasn't this house I struck, but another Jarther to the west'ard; however, I saw enough to be sure it was a place alter my own heart a real quiet cor ner. So I went back aud set everything straight aboard yesteruay, and now here I am. You can nut me up for a few weeks, I snpnosc. I'm not hard to please, and I can pay my way; suppose we say 510 a week for boa id and lodging, aud a iortuight to be paid in advance." He put his hand in his pocket and pro duced four shining napoleons, which he pushed along the dresser to my lather, who grabbed them up eagerly. "1 in Mirry I gave you such a rough re ception. 1 said, rather awkwardly. "I was hardly awake at the time." "Say no more, mate, say no more! " he shouted heartilv, holding out his hand and clasping mine. "Hard knocks arc nothing new to me. 1 suppose we may consider the bargain settled then?" "Ye can bide as lang as ve wull. sir." answered my lather, still fingering the four coins. "Archie and ine'll do a' ws can to mak' your veesit a pleasant anc. It's no' men a dreary place as ye might .think. lion the Lanilash boats come in we get the purers and a the news." It struck me that the stranger looked anv thing but overjoyed by this piece of infor mation. "You don't mean to sv that vou set the papers here, ne said. ' 'Oo aye, the -Scotsman an' the Glasgey ,-ald. But maybe you would like Archie .!( me to row ower to your ship in the morn, ..i.' iVlcli your luggage." "i'he brig is 50 miles away by this time," said our visitor. "She is running before the wii.d :or Marseilles. I told the mate to uriiig her around again iu a month or so. As i" gcage, I always travel light in that inuiirr. It a man's purse is only full he can io with very little else. All I have is in a bundle under your window. By the way, 107 name is Digby Charles Digby." "I thought your initals were A. W.," I remarked. He sprang off the dresser as if he had heen stung, and his face turned quite gray for a moment. "What the devil do you menu by that?" he said. "I thougnt this might be yours," I an swered, handing him the handkerchief I had found. "On, is that all!" he aid with rather a forced lau?h. "I didn't quite see what you were driving at. That's nil right. It be longs to Whittincdale, my second officer. I'll keep it until I sec him again. And now suppose you sive me something to eat, for I'm about famished." We brought him out such rough fare as was to be found in our larder, and he ate ravenously, and tossed off a stiff glass of whiskv and water. Afterwards my father showed him into the solitary spare bedroom, with which he professed himself well pleased, and we all settled down for the night As I went back to my couch I noticed that the gale had freshened up, and I saw long streamers of seaweed flying past my broken window in the moonlight.' A great bat fluttered into the room, which is reckoned a sure sign of misfortune in the islands but I was never superstitious, and let the poor thing find its way nut ar.ain unmolested. III. In the morning it was still blowing a whole gale, though the sky was blue for the most part Our guest was up betimes and we walked down to the beach together. It was a sight to see the great rollers sweeping in, overtopping one another like a herd of oxen, and then bursting with a roar, send- in the Carracuil pebbles flying before them lite crapesuot, and lillmg the wnole air with drifting spume. AVe were standing together watching the scene, when looking round I saw my father hurrying toward us. He had been'up and out since early dawn. When he saw us looking, he- began waving his hands and shouting, but the wind carried his voice away. We ran toward him however, seeing that he was heavy with news. "The brig's wrecked, and they're a drowned!" he cried as we met him. "What!" roared onr visitor. If ever I heard exceeding great joy com pressed into a monosyllabic it vibrated in that one. "They'rea drowned and naethingsavedl" repeated my father. "Come yoursel' and see." We followed him across the Combers to the level sands on the other side. They were strewn with wreckage, broken pieces of bulwark and handrail, paneling of a cabin, and an occasional cask. A single large spar was tossing in the waves close to the shore, occasionally shooting up towards the sky like some giant's javelin, then sinking aud disappear ing in the trough of the great scooping seas. Digby hurried up to the ne.irest piece of timber, and stooping over it examined it in tently. "By God!" he said at last, taking in a long breath between his teeth, "you are right It's the Prosperine, and all hands are lost AVhat a terrible thingl" His lace was very solemn as he spoke, but his eyes danced and glittered. I was begin ning to conceive a great repugnance and dis trust toward this man. "Is there no chance of any one having got ashore?" he said. 'Xa, na, nor carco neither," my father answered with real grief iu his voice. "Ye dinna ken this coast. There's an awful undertow outside the Winners, and it's a' swept round to Holy Isle. De'il take it, if there was to be a shipwreck what for should they no' run their ship agroond to the east'ard o' the point and let an honest mun have the pickings instead o' they rascallv loons in Arran? An empty barrel might float in here, but there's no chance o' a sea-chest, let alane a bodv." , "Poor fellows!" said Dighv. "But there we must meet it some day, and why not Here ami now.' I've lost my ship, but thank heaven I can buy another. It is sad about them, though very sad. I warned Lamarck that he was waiting too lung with a low barometer and an ugly shore under his lee. He has himself to thank. Ho was my first ;,cer, a prying, covetous, meddlesome houua. "Don't call !!lm names," I said. "He's dead." "Well said, my young prig!" he an-, swered. "Perhaps you wouldn't be so mealy mouthed j-ourself if yon lost u,000 pounds before breakfat. But there there's no use crying over spilt milk. Vogue la galerel as the French say. Things are never so bad but that they might be worse." Sly father and Digby stayed at the scene ot the wreck, but I walked over to Corrie mains to reassure Minnie's mind as to the apparition at the window. Her opinion, when I had told her all, coincided with mine, that perhaps the crew of the brig kuew more about the stranger than he cared for. We agreed that I should keep a close eye upon him without letting him know that he was watched. "But oh, Archie," she said, "ye munna cross him or anger him while he carries them awfu' weapons. Ye mann be. douce and salt, and no" gainsay him." I laughed and promised her tn be very prudent, which reassured her a little. It was wonderful howqnickly thestranger acconiniodutt-d himself to our insular ways, and how useful he made himself about the homesteading. Within a fortnight he knew the island almost as well as I did myself. Had it not brcn for that one unpleasant recollection of the shipwreck which rankled in my remembrance, I could have found it in ray heart to become fond of him. His nature was a tropical one fiercely depressed at times, but sunny as a rule, bursting con tinually into jest and song from pure iu stinct, in a manner which is unki.own among us Northerners. In his graver moments he was a most interesting compan ion, talking shrewdly and eloquently of men aud manners, and his own innumer able and strange adventures. I have sel dom heard a more brilliant conversational ist. Of an evening he would keep mv father and myself spell-bound by the kitchen fire for hours aud hours, while he chatted away iu a desultory fashion and smoked his cigarettes. It seemed to mc that the packet he had brought with him on the first night must have consisted entirely of tobacco. I noticed that in these conver sations, which were mostly addressed to my father, he used, unconsciously perhaps, to play upon the weak side of the old man's nature. Tales of cunning, of smartness, of various ways in which mankind had been cheated and money gained, came most readily to his lips, and were relished by an eager listener. I could not help one night remarking upon it, when mv father had gone out of the room, laughing hoarscly,aud vibrating with amusement over somestory of how the Bitcayau peasants will strap lan terns to a buliock's horns, and taking the beast some distance inland on a stormv night, will make it prance and rear so that the ships at sea may imagine it to be the lights of a vessel, and steer fearlessly iu that direction, only to find themselves on a rockbouud coast. "You shouldn't tell such tales to an old man," I said. "My dear fellow," he answered very kindiy. "youhave seen nothing o. the worli yet You have formed line ideas no doubt, and notions of delicacy and such things, and you are very dogmatic abuut them, as clever men of your age always are. I had notions of right and wrong once, but it has been all knocked nut of me. It's just a sort of varnish which the rongh Iriction of the world soon rubs off. I started with a whole soul, but there are more gashes and seams and scars in it now than there are in my body, and that's pretty fair as you'll allow" with which he pulled open his tuuie and showed mc bis chest "Good heavens!" I said, "how on earth did vou get those?" "This was a bullet," he said, pointing to a deep bluish pucker underneath hit collar bone. "I got it behind the barricades in Berlin in '48. Langenback said it just missed the subclavian artery. Aud this," he went on, indicating a pair ot curious elliptical scars upon his throat, "wag a bite from a Sioux chief, when I was under Custer on the plains I've fcot an arrow wound on my leg from the same party. This is from a mutinous Lascar aboard ship, and the others are mere scratches Californian vaccination marks.. You can excuse my being a little ready with my own irons, though, when I've been dropped so often." "What's this?" I asked, pointing to a little chamois-leather bag which was hung by a strong cord round his neck. "It looks like a charm." He buttoned up his tunic again hastily, looking extremely disconcerted. "It is nothing," he said brusquely. "I am a Iloman Catholic, and it is what we call a scapular." I could hardly get another' word out of him that night.'and even next day he was reserved and appeared to avoid me. This little incident made me very thoughtlul, the more so as I noticed shortly afterward when standing over him that the string was no longer ronnd his neck. Ap parently he had taken it off after my re mark about it AVhat could there be in that leather bag which needed such secrecy and precauticut Had I but known it I would sooner have put my left hand in the fire than have pursued that inquiry. One of the peculiarities of our visitor was that in all his plans lor the future, with which he often regaled us, he seemed en tirely untrammeled by any monetary con siderations. He would talk iu the lightest and most off-hand way of schemes which would involve the outlay of much wealth. My father's eyes would glisten as he heard him talk carelessly of sums which to our frugal minds appeared enormous. It seemed strange to both of us that a man who by his own confession had been a vagabond and adventurer all his lire, should be in possession such a fortune. My lather was inclined to put it down to some stroke of luck ou the American gold fields. I had my own ideas even then chaotic and half-iormed as yet, but tending iu the right direction. It was cot long before these suspicions began to assume a more definite shape, which came about in this way. Minnie and I made the summit of the Combera cliff a favorite trysting place, as I think I men tioned before, and it was rare for a day to pass without our spending two or three hours there. One morning, not long after my chat with our guest, we were seated together in a little nook there, which we had chosen as sheltering us from the wind as well as from my father's observa tion, when Miunie caught sight of Dighy walkiug along the Carracuil bench. He sauntered up to the base of the cliff, which was boulder-studded and slimy from the re ceding tide, but instead of turning back he kept on climbing over the great green slip pery stones, and threading his way among the pools until he was standing immedi ately beneath us so that we looked straight down at him. To him the spot must have seemed the very acme ot seclusion, with the great sea in front, the rocks on each side, and the precipice behind. Even had he looked up, he could hardly have made out the two human faces, which peered down at him from the distant ledge. He gave a hur ried glance around, and then slipping his hand into his pocket, he pulled out the leather bag which I had noticed, and took out of it a small object which he held in the palm of his baud and looked at it long, as it were, lovingly. We both had an excellent view of it from where we lay. He then replaced it in the bag, and shoving it down to the very bottom of his pocket picked his wayjback more cheerily than he had come. Minnie and I looked at each other. She was smiling, I was serious. "Did vou see it?" I asked. "Yon? Ave, I saw it" "What did you think it was, then?" "A wee hit of glass," she answered, looking at mc with wondering eyes. "Xo," I cried excitedly, "glass could never catch the sun's rays so. It was a dia mond, and if I mistake not, one of ex traordinary value. It was as large as all I have seen put together, and must be worth a fortune." A diamond was a mere name to poor, simple Minnie, who had never seen one be fore, nor had any conception of their.value, and she prattled away to me about this and that, but 1 hardly heard her. In vain she exhausted all her lit tle wiles in. attempting to recall my attention. My mind was full of what I had sea. Look where I would, the glisten ing o,j the breakers, or the sparkling of the tniga-ladeu rocks, recalled the brilliant facets of the gem which I had seen. I was moody and distraught, and eventually let Minnie walk back to Corriemaius by her self, while I made my way to the home steading. My father and Digby were just sitting down to the midday meal, and the latter hailed me cheerily. "Come along, mate," he cried, pushing over a stool, "we were just wondering what had heeomeof you. Ah! yourogue, I'll bet my bottom dollar it was that pretty,wench I saw the other day who kept you." "Mind your own affairs," I answered angrily. "Don't be thin-skinned," he said, "young people should control their tempers, and you've got a mighty bad one, my lad. Have you heard that I am going to leave you." "I'm sorry to hear it," I said frankly; "when do you intend to go?" "Next week," he answered, "but don't be afraid; you'll see me again. I've had too good a time here to forget yon easily. I'm going to buy a cood steam yacht 2C0 tons or thereabouts aud I'll bring her round in a few months and give you a cruise." "What would be a fair price for a cralt of that sort?" I asked. "Forty thousand dollars," said our visitor, carelessly. "You must be very rich," I remarked, "to throwaway so much money on pleasure," 'ltichl" echoed my companion, his South ern blood mantling up for a moment "ltich, why man, there is hardly a limit but there, I was romancing a bit. I'm fairly well off, or shall be very shortly." "How did you make your" money?" I asked. The question c.ime so glibly to my lips that I had no tunc to check it, though I felt the moment afterwards that I had made a mistake. Our guest drew himself into himself at once, aud took no notice of my query, while my father said: "Hush, Archie laddie, ye munna speer they questions o' the gentleman." I could see, however, from the old man's eager grey eyes, looking out from under the trreat t natch of his brows, that he was meditating over the same problem himself. During the next couple of days I hesi tated very often as to whether I should tell my father of what I had scon and the opin ions I bad formed about our visitor; but he forestalled me by making a discovery him self which supplemented mine and ex plained all that had been dark. It was one dav when the stranger was out for a ramble. that, entering the kitchen, I found my father sitting by the fire deeply engaged in pe rusing a newspaper, spelling out the words laboriously, and following the lines with his great forefinger. As I came iu he crumpled up the paper as if his instinct were to conceal it, but then spreading it out again on his knee he beckoned me over to him. "Wha d'ye think this chiel Dicby is?" he asked. I could see by his manner that he was much excited. "No good," I answered. "Come here, laddie, come herel" be croaked. "You're a braw scholar. Eead this tae me alood read it and tell me if you dinna think I've fitted the cap ou the right hcid. It's a Gliisgey Herald only four days auld a Loch ISanzt lecsbiu' boat brought it iu the morn. Bi-gin frae here 'Oor Paris Letter.' Here it is, 'Fuller details;' read it a' to me." I becau at the spot indicated, which was a paragraph of the ordinary French cor respondence of the Glasgow paper. It ran in this way: "Fuller details have now come before the public of the diamond rob bery by which the Duchcsse de ItOchevieille lost her celebrated gem. The diamond is a pure brilliant weighing 83 karats, and is supposed to be the third largest in France, aud the seventeenth in Europe. It came into the possession of the family through the great granduncle of the Duchess, who fought under Bussy in India, and brought it back to Europe with him. It represented a fortune then, but its value now is simply enormous. It was taken, as will be remem bered, troni the jewel case of the Ducheis two months ago during the night, and though the police have made every effort, no real clew has been obtained as to the thief. They are very reticent upon the subject; bat it seems that TEE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. they have reason to suspect one Achilla Wolff, an Americanized native of Lor raine, who had called at the chateau a short time before. He is an eccentric man, of Bohemian habits, and it is just possible that his sudden disappearance at the time of the robbery may have been a coincidence. In appearance he is described as romantic looking, with an artistic face, dark eyes and hair, and a bru'que manner. A large re ward is oflered for his capture." When I finished reading this, my father and I sat looking at each other in silence for a minute or so. Then my father jerked his finger over his shoulder. "Yon's him," he said. "Yes, it must be he," I answered, think ing of the initials on the handkerchief. Again we were silent for a time. My father took one of the iaggots out of the grate. and twisted it about iu his bands. "It maun be a muckle stane," he said. "He canna hae it aboot him. Likelv he's left it in France." "No, he has it with him," I said, like a cursed fool as I was. "Hoo d'ye ken that?" asked the old man, looking up quickly with eager eyes. "Because I have seen it" The faggot which he held broke in two in his grip.'but he said nothing more. Shortly afterward onr guest came in, and we had dinner, but neither of us alluded to the ar rival of the paper. IV. I have often been amused, when reading stories told in Hie first person, to see how the narrator makes himself out as a matter of course to be a perfect and spotless man. All around may have their passions, and weaknesses, and vices, but he remains a cold and blameless nonentity, running like a colorless thread through the tangled skein of the story. I shall not fall into this error. I see myself as I was in those days, shallow-hearted, hot-headed, and with little principle of any kind. Such I was, and such I depict myself. From the time that I finally identified our visitor Digby with Achille Wolff, the diamond robber, my resolution was taken. Some might have been squeamish iu the matter, and thought that because he had shaken their hand and broken their bread he had earned some sort of grace from them. I was not troubled with sentimentality of this sort. He was a criminal escaping from justice. Some providence had thrown him into our hands, and an enormous reward awaited his betrayers. I never hesitated for a moment as to what was to be done. The more I thought of it the more I ad mired the cleverness with which he had managed the whole business. It was clear that he had had a vessel ready, manned either by confederates or unsuspecting fish ermen. Hence he would be independent of all those parts where the police would he ou the lookout for him. Again, if he had made for England or America, he could hardly have escaped ultimate capture, but bv choosing one of the most desolate and lonely 'spots in Europe, he had thrown them off his track for a time, while the de struction of the brig seemed to destroy the last clew as to his whereabouts. At present he was entirely at our mercy, since he could not move from the island without our help. There was no necessity for us to hurry therefore, and we could mature our plans at our leisure. One day, about a week after our conversa tion, I was fixing up one of the rails of our fence which had been suapped in the gale, j Ii"j my father came along the seashore, I Vjdding heavily among the pebbles, and cat down on a stone at my elbow. 1 went on knocking in the nails, but looked at him from the corner of my eye, as he pulled away at his short black pipe. I could see that he had some thing weighty on his mind, tor he knitted bis brows, and his lips projected. "D'ye mind what was in yon paper?" he said at last, knocking his ashes out against the stone. "Yes," I answered shortly. "Well, what's your opeenion?" he asked. "Why, that we should have the reward, of course!" I replied. "The reward!" he said, with fierce snarl. "You would tak' the reward. You'd let the stane that's worth thoosands an' thoosands gang awa' back tae some furrin Papist, an' a' for the sake o' a few pund that' they'd fling till ye, as they fling a bane to a dog when the" meat's a' gone. It's a clean flingin' awa' o' thegifts o' Providence." "Well, father," I said, laying down the hammer, "you must be satisfied with what you can get. You can only have what is offered." "But if we got the stane Heel," whispered my father, with a leer on his face. "He'd never give it up," I said. "But if he deed while he's here if he was suddenly " "Drop it, father, drop it 1" I cried, for the old man looked like a fiend out of the pit I saw now what he was aiming at. "If he.deed," he shouted, "wha saw him come, and wha wad speer where he'd ganged till? If an accident happened, if he came by a dud ou the heid, or woke some nicbt to find a knife at his thrapple, wha wad be the wiser?" "You mustn't speak so, father," I said, though I was thinking many things at the same time. "It may as well be oot as in," he answered, and went away rather sulkily, turning round after a few yards and holding up his finger toward me to impress the necessity of caution. My father did not speak of this matter to me again, but what he said rankled in my mind. I could hardly realize that he meant his words, for he had always, as far as I knew, been an upright, rigbteons man, hard in his ways, and grasping in his nature, but guiltless of any great sin. Perhaps it was that he was removed from temptation, for isothermal lines of crime might be drawn on tbe map through places where it is hard to walk straight, and there are others where it is hard to fall. It was easy to be a saint in the island of Ufla. One day we were finishing breakfast when How many people there are who re- gard the of coming winter as a constant state of siege.

I don't knoy that I mar not come back with you biitlmavstay." Mjr eyes met those of my father for a flash; "There's no' vera much wind," he said. "What there is, is in tbe right direction," returned Digby, as I must call him. "The new foresail has no' been bent," per sisted my father. "There's no use throwing difficulties in the way," said our visitor angrily. "If you won't come, I'll get Tommy Gibbs aud his father, but go I shall. Is it a bargain or not?" "I'll gang," my father replied sullenly, and went down to get the boat ready. I followed, and helped him to bend on the new foresail. I telt nervous and excited. "What do you intend to do?" I asked. "I dinna ken," he said irritably. "Gin the worst come to the worst we can gie him upatLamlash hut oh, it wad be apeetv, an awfu' peety. "You're young an' strong, laddie; can we no' master him between us?" "No," I said, "I'm ready to give him up, but I'm d d if I lay a hand on him." "You're a cooardly, white-livered loon 1" he cried, but I was not to be moved by taunts, and left him mumbling to himself and picking at the sail witn nervous fingers. It was about 2 o'clock before the boat was ready, but as there was a slight breeze from the north, we reckoned on reaching Lam lash belore nightfall. Digby and I stepped into the boat, but my father ran back to where I had been mend ing the sails, and came back with the hatchet in his hand, which he stowed away under the thwarts. "What d'ye want with the ax7" our visitor asked. "It's a handv thine to hae aboot a boat." my father answered with averted eyes, and shoved us off. We set the foresail, jib and mainsail, and shot away across the Boost, with the blue water splashing merrily under our bows. We were about half way across the Boost when it fell a dead calm, and the sails flapped against the mast, I had been steer ing and my father managing the sails, while the stranger smoked his eternal cigarettes and admired the scenery; but at his sugges tion we now got the sculls out to row. I shall never know how It began, but as I wa; stooping down to pick up an oar I heard our visitor give a great scream that he was mur dered, and looking up I saw him with his face all in r sputter of blood leaning against the mast, while my father made at him with the hatchet Before I could move hand or foot Digby rushed at the old man and caught him rouud the waist. "You gray-headed devil," he cried in a husky voice. "I feel that you have done for me. But you'll never get what you want. No never! never! never!" Nothing can ever erase from my memory the intense and concen trated malice of those words. My father gave a raucous cry, they swayed and balanced lor a moment and then over they went into the sea. I rushed to the side, boathook in hand, but they never came up. As the long rings caused by the splash widened out, however, and left an unruffled space in tbe center, I saw tbem once again. The water was very clear, and far, far down I could see tbe shimmer of two white faces coming and go ing, faces which seemed to look up at me with an expression of unutterable horror. Slowly they went down, revolving in each other's embrace until they were nothing buc a dark loom, and then faded from my view forever. There they shall lie, the French man and the Scot, till the great trumpet shall sound and the sea give up its dead. Storms may rage above them aud great ships labor and create, but their slumber shall be dreamless and unruffled in the silent green depths of the Boost of Uffa. I trust when the great day shall come that they will bring up the cursed stone with them, that they may show the sore tempta tion which the devil had placed in their way, as some slight extenuation of their errors while in this mortal flesh. It was a weary and waesome journey back to Carravoe. 1 remember tug-tugging at the oars as though Vo snap them in trying to re lieve the tension in my mind. Toward evening a breeze sprang up and helped me on my way, and before nightfall I was back in the lonely homesteading once more, and all that had passed that spring afternoon lay behind me like some horrible nightmare. I did not remain in Ufla. The croft and tbe boat were sold by public roup in the market place of Androssan, and the sum realized was sufficient to enable me to con tinue my medical studies at the university. I fled from the island as from a cursed place, nor did I ever set foot on it again. Gibbs aud his son, and even Minnie Fnllarton, too, passed out of my life completely and forever. She missed me for a time, no doubt, but I have heard that young McBane, who took the farm, went a-wooing to Corrie mains after the white fishing, and as he was a comely fellow enough he may have con soled her lor my loss. As for myself, I have settled quietly down into a large middle class practice in Paisley. It has heen iu the brief intervals of professional work that I have jotted down these reminiscences of the events which ledjup tn my faither's death. Achille Wolfi and the Bochevielle diamond are things of the past now, but there may be some who will care to hear how they visited the Island of Uffa. A. Conan Doyle in Temple Bar.

Tho Centennial of John Wesley's Death Is Close at Hand, and THE DEEP IMPRESSION HE MADE On Christian Thought and Endeavor Will Bo Noted in Many Sermons. GLEANINGS FKOM CIIDRCII FIELDS A century ago John Wesley was passing from the scene of his earthly toils. On March 2, 1791, the founder of Methodism passed away. "Being dead, he yet speak eth." It is doubtful if anv one. man since the days of the Apostle Paul has wielded a deeper and wider influence on the Christian world than John Wesley. His name has gone through all the earth and his words to the world's end. The two Wesleys, John as the organizer and preacher, and Charles as the writer of .sacred songs, have gained a hold upon the heart of Christendom which is destined to Btay for centuries to come. It will be seen from our church column that a number of the Methodist ministers of the city will to morrow discourse upon Wesley's influence on human affairs. His largest following has not been in his native land, bnt in the United States, and they who glory in his work do well to cher ish and perpetuate his memory. Snnday Services In Pittsburg Churches.
