A STVBT OV LOVS AND WAB.
Toward tho close of an Octobor
lay in 1770, a vessel sailiug in a
southwesterly direction ci-oased the
67th degree of North longitude
Her keel plowod tho waves of the
North Atlautio, and her distillation
eootnod to'bo tbo Azorua. She waa
sailing before a strong wiud and the
arrangement of her sail iudicittud
flight If flight, from whom t The
Baked eye could peicoivo no pursuer
on the bosom of ths oajtu b it t!ia 1
nea glasboa, leveled by a nutnber of
British officers who graced the clean
decks, revealed a dark speck ou the
watery riin of tbe Northern horU
eon.
The distant object occasioned
much anxiety among the oIHjera
A silence which hud ruiuod among
tboin for many momenta was uud
denly broken by a man whose bear
ing proclaimed him an English ad
mind. "Ho still follows," were the words
that fell from his lips t "but with
the help of Neptune we'll outsail him
in the night"
Though the officer spoke with
ranch assurance, there lurked in his
tongue a latent fear which his com
panions detected, and exchanged
significant glances.
Over the face of the deep, night
was settling, and the vessel kept
straight before the wind to tho joy
of its commander who bad lately
spoken. The shadows gradually
veiled the far away pursuer from
sight, and when the officer separated
expressions of triumph were on
their lips. -
- The British vessel was the Meteor,
fast sailor, whose armament consist
ed of twuntv-eicht cutis. She was
a well built double decker, and had
seen much service in the war which
bad raged almost three years be
tween Great liritan and her Ameri
can colonies Her speed and her
formidable armament shad mado her
a terror to American vessels in Eu
ropean waters. ' - Her commander,
a soaborn Englishman, named Quil
defoy, was an officer of undoubted
courage and cunning, to which be
added a ' vindioitiveness that render
ed him obnoxious to many of his
own crew.
The Meteor was flying from a new
and very formidable foe hying with
a hold filled with booty. On the
day proceeding the one that has lust
dosed upon her in fight she had lust
raptured an American cruiser, after
spirited contest The prize had
'proved one of value, and Captain
jtimlderoy did not wish to nsx an
Wagement with the vessel follow-
Ijiag in bis wake.
M Captain Conyngbam, tbe pursuer,
llaa a second Paul Jones, lie was
oe of the most daring spirits of onr
aen infant navy and bis name uaa
ftcame terror along the cost of Kug-
d. i Ue pursued and captured a
amber of British ships, which be
either burnt or sent into friendly
ts i and when he pesoried the
itAni fruah frnm hop vintarv. he
Wtated . not to crowd oa all sail
a Siva chase.
t There were men on tbo decks of
-snare, as Oonyngham'e vessel
"a i tpDriatolv , named, who

ed when he turned to reply to tbe
words of a youthful Lieutenant wbo
stood beside bim, sea glass in hand.
"We can outsail her, Gilbrrt," the
American captain said with em
phasis. "Thin wind favors both of
us alike, and in tho calm tbnt will
soon prevail, she must lie by till
day."
The young offlcer turned from tbo
captain, .and again his eyos were
stratuod to make out the form of the
ship rapidly disappearing among tbe
prevailing shadows.
Conyngbam did not return to bis
glass, but watched tbe fuceofhi
youthful companion.
"I am confident that Miss Temple
is aboard tho Englishman." bo snid
at Inst.
"Of course she is 1" exclaimed tbo
Liontouant with a flush. 'I know
sbo was on board the Mischief when
it full into the Meteor's, bauds aud
I am satisfied she is a prisoner,'
"Tbo fairest ptizo old Guildaroy
has captured in many a loug day 1'
remarked Conyngbam, with a laugh
at the Lioiitomint's smile, and tho
flash that lighted up tho depths of
his anxious eyos.
The conversation was interrupted
by an unexpected vering of tbe
wind that paled tho cheeks of tbo
numerous watcbors on tbe deck, and
tbe otfloors seperated.
Now, h'tving loarnod somotliing
of tho Metoor's pursuer, lot us re
turn to tho Englisli vensol.
Tho calm prophesWl by tbo Amer
ican captain foil upon tbo ocean
shortly aftor thodoscuut of darkness.
It worried Onil loroy, ond bo ht-ld
frequent consultations with tho of.l
cei's, now on dock, now in bis st Ue
room. Ho held consultation in the
hitter place over a bottlo of choice
wine, and under tho liquor's influence
bo souudly cursed tho 1'aukeo priva
teer. liecalraod on tbe waters and be
neath tbe stars, tbe Meteor lay like
a huge slumbering leviatlutu Her
lights were bidden, aud the spectral
figures that trod ber decks convers
ed in whisper.
In a small apartment, not far ro
moto from tbo council cabin, stoo 1 a
bountiful young girl. There was n
look Of sorrow in bor d.u k eyes, aud
her faco was unito palo She appuar-
ed to bo listening, for ber buad was
beut toward Uuildoroy s from which
direction came a fttiut aud confused
murmur of voices.
"I know that we are becalmed,'
sbo said to herself in au audible tone.
aud I know, too, that tbo oflcera are
worried about it. lho men I
know that many of thctn bate iuil-
doroy. Jhdti 1 1 bear tbo helmsman
say last uiglit that thoy would ro
fuse to fii;ht for tho man who rulos
them with a rod of iron, and wbon
he bad spekou thus, didn't bo re
mark to a fullow tar that tbo prison
ers did not know tboir strength t
Yea, be did 1 The men think of mu
tiny, and tbo man at tho wheel is
now ready to rise against tbe captain
of this ship. Thoy want a leader ;
they gnaw in Pilonce the chain oi
tyranny, with which thoir captain
has bound them. I will spring the
mine 1 I will lead tbo Meteor's
mutiuoors, and the llevenge may
have our prize."
Adaliuo Temple spoke with stern
determination and clenched hor
bands.
Tbo observor would bavo laugbod
to think that she bad docidod to
head a body of mutineers that sbo
a fragil girl of nineteen, bad rosolv
to rob the English navy of one of its
best vessels or to perish iu tbe at
tempt I
She left the room with a resolve
well-formed, and steadfast in horde
termination. ' Like a speotre she
glided down tbe darkened corridors
of the vessel, and,' at last, climbing
upward with caro, reaohed the deck.
Captain Quildoroy and bis non
tenants were below discussing the
situation over several bottles of wino.
Aduliuo saw tbe stars overhead,,
and turned ber face to tbe various
points of tbe compass without greet
ing a broozo that would have pleased
tbe Hristisb captain. 1
Tbe man at tbo whoel having
nothing to do seemed to have fallen
asleep, for be started when Adaliue a
band fell upon bis should tf, and his
band made a rapid movement to
ward his belt when he saw her figure.
.'I want to talk with you," she
said, in a low tone, making no dis
play of tbe knife whose hilt she
clutched- knife like tbe helmsman's.
"1 want to say a few words, and are
you going to listen t 1 beard yon
use tnotiuous language last night
and I could have you bung at the
yard by speaking to tbe tyrant Ouil
deroy." He was ber man I -
"You are harboring , schemes of
mutiny at this very momeut," she
continued, after a brief pause, "and
you are not - alone in the diabolio
work. , I will tell tbe captain before
an boor, if '
Adoline paused a moment, and
heard the boating of tbe sailor's
heart
lie stared into her face like a man
anddonlv friehted bv a ffbosL and
she finished ber sentence with lips
almost touohiog bis ear.
"If you do not obey me 1"
Then tbe helmsman's lip parted.
' "For the love of heaven do not
throw us Door dsvils at the feet of
Guilderoy," stammered the sailor.
''Us would hang every one of ns be-I-r
mcrci?i. Do yon want to

"Nevertheless, they will not bei

will drivo this knile to your heart,
and bavo your oouirades lmn;j at tbo

1 ben tho helmsman saw tho knifo
whose blado flushed very near bis
breast aud tho next moment bo
stood on tho deck. .
"We il do it 1" bo said, "Iltit Chea

Cttntain Quildoroy niistispiotou of
the mutinoiii spirit on bis ship, ha 1

the Chimtor party.
Adalino soon disoovored this, and
