It had been cleopei' thnn It looked, or at least 1 felt as If It wore. When I reaelieil the bottom, tlio dock which 1 had left wns qulti' out of reach and boomed to bo several foot ubovo my head. I had ullghted on one of the Hhnpoless looking heaps 1 had noticed from above, and 1 was surprised to Unit thai in siilto of Its covering or shells and seaweed It felt nearly level to the touch. 1 looked nroiind. and 1 was conscious of a strange, now fueling of oppression. For tho 111 st time since I left the blip, 1 felt a shrinking sensa tion that was ulmost like fear. It may have been the sudden change from the broad freedom of the ocean bottom u the narrow limits of the place In which I found myself; It may even huve been merely the elfect of the dimmer light In which I stood and the duiker shadows that suriounded me on every side; but whatever the cause, the ef fect was something worse than unpleas unt. 1 looked around, and as 1 looked 1 shuddered. It was only liy an effort that I io cuvei'cd myself, and considered what my next step should be. The question was, whore I should he most likely to lind what I was looking for. There had boon no effort required, when at a distance, to picture untold heaps of tnasure lIng lcady to my hands, but It was diffoient now that 1 was face to face with realities. 1 might Indeed be standing upon a heap of gold or silver, hut now that I found myself in con tact with It the reality of the whole thing seemed hard to grasp, i stooped und struck several blows with the toui nliawlc upon the heap on which I was standing. Whatever the heap was com posed of, it resisted the edge of my weapon as If It had been stone. I fctopped to consider. After all, nothing vas to be gained by merely blunting the edge of the tomahawk unless there was n reasonable chance that J should find what 1 was looking for. Hut was It likely? The heap might have con sisted of wooden cases hardened In sumo way by the action of the sea wat er during the centuries. Even If It were so. was the treasure likely to be stowed In this part of the ship? I look ed round me again, and the answer seemed clear enough It was not. Where 1 stood must have been neaily amid shlp; surely the most valuable part of w hat she carried would have been plac ed under the poop deck near the stern. The heap sloiied downwards towards the stern, so much so that the water looked dark and cavernous as T stooped forward to peer Into the shadows that brooded over it. There did not appear to be any obstacle In my way, however, and after a momentary hesitation I moved cautiously down the slope. I was doubtful of my footing and 1 moved carefully. Step by step, with my face set towards tho darker shad ows that lurked under the after deck step by step I felt my way. It was less daik than I feared It would be. Jly eyes had grown accustomed to the soft, pervading light that came downward through the watery atmosphere, and now 1 found that they quickly accom modated themselves to the dimmer light that stile obliquely Into the Inner re cesses of the after hold. Looking from Fide to side as I went cautiously for ward I could make out my new sur roundings almost as well as 1 had done outside. The place was like a cavern, and step by step as 1 descended, the Il lusion became more complete. I'nder my feet the llor sloped steeply down wards, thickly paved with shells; on each side coral plants had taken root, and although they had not attained the size and luxuriance of those out side, they seemed almost more strange and beautiful as they stretched their colored branches towards me on every side; overhead long tresses of colored seaweed hung downward In disheveled 3dA3y's Rills Always Reliable, Purely Vegetable, 3IILD, BUT EFFECTIVE.

HREASBJRE III iircm n. lisk. musses and swayed softly In the cur rents made by my progress. 1 had decided that under the poop dock was the most likely place to Unci what 1 was looking for. The most precious part of that lll-fnted cargo so I argued with myself would be placed where it would be most Imme diately under the eyes of the olllcers who, no doubt, were quartered on the poop, and J was anxious to ge some thing undeniably precious, gold if pos sible, to take back with me. My eyes searched the place as I wont for signs of gold. Silver, I supposed, might tar nish, but gold would be proof against decay; If It were not hidden in cases, 1 should see It even In that dim light. And who that sees II can bo mistaken In gold'.' Tlie hold was longer than I had thought. Little by little as 1 went on the light grew dimmer. The shadow of the cotal shrubs began to look ghostly, and the waving seaweeds overhead more and more suggested medusa faces half hidden behind these tangled tioss es. 1 must surely be near the place where the treasure had been stored, and It was worth w hllu lo take n few steps mure even though they led Into those eerie shadows. 1 seemed to be all eyes. My glances peeled Into each darker hol low In jeaHh of the yellow gleam of Hold, and In hall conscious dread of some unknown tenor about to show it self In the shudow. 1 liad nearly reached the stern, at last, for already I could dimly make out the shadow that marked the end before me. If tile treasure were not here my attempt had failed. Perhaps nftei all the story of the treasure had bten lalse. Perhaps It had been taken by the crew, and the tale of tho native attack had boon but a blind to cover the robbery. 1 grew cold at the thought, but yet 1 didn't stop. I would at least make sure, now that I had come so far. i took another step. No, It wasn't the stern after till. The shadow I hud seen come from something that was piled up higher than my head, but It didn't reach to the black covering overhead which I knew to he the deck. I looked at it nar rowly; 1 touched It with my hand; 1 struck It with the tomahawk. In closed as I was In my helmet 1 could funcy It sounded hollow to the blows. I struck again and again. Then some thing gave wai. and out of the dark ness there rolbd something that fell In a stream Into the darker shadows at my feet. Dim as the light was, 1 seemed to catch the glitter of gold; deaf as I was to all other sounds, I seemed to hear the chink of metal as th" little stream ran s If tly down Into the darkness. 1 had found the treasure! The revulsion of feeling was almost too great 1 felt myself stagger for a moment and 1 dropped the tomahawk at my feet. Then my senses came back to me with a wild throb of exultation. For a moment blight visions, Indefinite but splendid, lloated before my eyes and seemed to dazzle me by their vague brilliancy. I was the owner the right ful owner of the great treasure. What might 1 not be? What might I not do with it? It doesn't take long to dream, and I dreamed many things in that minute's pause. And all the time that slender stream of gold was runnig out and gleaming faintly us It fell. Then 1 came to myself and bent forward to grasp it In my outstretched hands. As 1 did something like a narrow shad ow seemed to lilt past me, and even as T bent forward 1 felt myself urrested by some Invisible force. It was gentle but firm, soft, but for the moment almost irresistible. My heart seemed to stand still, and for several moments 1 felt powerless even to make an effort to free myself from that mysterious grasp. What It could be that held nie'I could not even guess, but vaguely 1 pictured to myself the bony fingers of some Spanish don who for three lonir centuries had stood guard over the sunken treasure. I am not an Imaginative man, however, und as my heart recovered Itself and the blood began again to rush through my veins, my courage came back lo me. It might be only a fancy. With the thought came the effort to prove it cor rect, and 1 threw myself forward once more to grasp the falling gold. Again 1 found myself held back, und now I knew that the grasp was on my shoul der. Surely it was a hand. The weight with which I had thrown myself for ward, resisted as- It was, swung me partly round, and In the dim twilight my eyes caught sight of a thin, dark line that stretched out of the durk ness rigid and strong. Was It the skel eton arm 1 had dreamed of? Involun tarily my hand went up and caught It. No, It was no bony substance on which my gHuntlet closed so convulsively, for It bent as I pressed against It bent like a piece of highly tempered steel. With a sudden wrench I tried to loosen Its hold and 1 almost succeeded. Then, with a kind of shudder that communi cated Itself to my hand, It .suddenly swelled und grew rigid again, and 1 felt as If I had been drawn closer to the spot in the darkness out of which It came. At tire same moment some thing else sprang out of the shadow, trembled for an Instant as If In doubt, and then darted suddenly at my other shoulder. Then 1 knew what It wus that I hud to deal with a devil fish. Strange as It may seem strange as It even seems to myself now the con lctIon was a positive relief. I hu 1 never fceen a devil fish, it Is true, but I had heard and read of tlium, anil their appearance was familiar to me from pictures. Terrible as the creature wus, he wus not Invested with the terrors of the unknown, and I felt as If 1 could face him on very diflerent terms from the bony skeleton I had Imagined to myfcelt In my first moment of dread. Like a flash It passed through my mind as I felt the new arm of the animal touch und cling to my brtast. There was t-omethliip about that touch that was unlike any other experience I hud ever had. It was not a blow; It wns not a grasp; It wasn't even a push yet the sensation I felt was a little like all three. I staggered for a mo ment, but 1 held fast by the lung, thin arm which I had gripped so tightly Willi my hand, und it seemed to steady me. It was something to feel even. so much that was real and tangible; but for these two slender bands that reached out of the darkness I was op posed to the unseen, I felt that I wusjace to face with tho enemy, and even that was 'some thing. The itt'ins had sprung out of theshndow, mid 1 knew that theV were moie behind. When would they, too, sptlng upon liioV Whoie would they fix their hold? I stood expectant of what was to come next; my eyes seuiched In the darkness for the face of my enemy. I think the silence was Hie worst or It. A roar, it tliumphunt scream, even a hiss would have been a relief. It was the tiller silence that wtis terrible. It could wily have been for it inliiiile or two at the most, for .vlion I cast my eyes clown I could see thai the little tiver of yellow coins was still ttlckllng down and losing Its-elf In the shadows. 1 didn't try to reach It now. Somehow my Interest, which had been so keen and overpower ing only a lew minutes liefor?, seemed to have ceased. 1 looked at ll vaguely, but I scarcely had more than n fnlnt curiosity about the coins, und they no longer connected themselves with my future. As f looked, I moved my foot, Tell off the tomahawk. The accident and something that rested agulnst It brought me back from the half-uii-conscious stat-" Into which t was fall ing. 1 was not (tllt defeiulless, then, niter oil. I stooped to seize it, and at the sumo moment another slender hand darted at me from Hie darkness and clutched me by the- arm. It held me, yet it did not paialyze ns the others hail done. 1 had grown accustomed to tho Idea, which was much, and I now had a gleam of hope, which was still more. I bent forwards and down- wanls in spite of the clinging hands that held me back. At lasfl reached It, and ns my lingers dosed clumsily on the hanills; 1 felt as if I were sud denly n stored to my selt'-conlldeiice once more. I rose to face my unseen adversary, and 1 was surprised to feel myself so cool and prepared. 1 had always heard that men were quickly exhausted In the tolls of the devil fish, and for a few moments I failed to understand why I should be an exception to the nile. Then It dawned upon me. It was my diving suit thut preserved me so far. Tho creature had seized me indeed, but his suckeis were fixed only on the thick leather suit that covered me from head to foot. IJven thiotigh that strong pro tection I could feel the force of that deadly suction, for my flesh 'seemed to creep and rise to meet the grip of these leathery looking bands, but It was with a new hope that I recognized the fact that most of their deadly power was wasted on me. Helpless as I was In that grasp, the struggle might not af ter all be a hopeless one. The very thought was half the battle gained. My assailant was In no hurry. Sec ond after second passed, and they seemed more than minutes to me, yet he made no farther movement. 1 faced the shadow; I strained my eyes to fol low these deadly arms to the place they came from; I gazed Into the dark ness In the hope of seeing some vulner able point at which to strike. More than once I tried the edge of my weap on on the long, sinewy bands that grasped me, but It was vain 1 could make no impression. Then another stole out of the darkness and alighted on my thigh. "Four!" 1 said to my self, as I eyed the snaky line a darker shadow In the dim water. 1 waited for what was to come. 1 felt a glim pleas ure In the thought that my armor was all the time deceiving the devil llsli He wus waiting till I should be helpless In his grip. Well, I ulso could wait! I'AHT IV. At last he was satisfied that his time had come. Suddenly at the same mo ment two more dark shadows flicker Ing like fanirs of some huge python passed before my dazzled eyes, and felt them alight, one on my leg and the other on my arm. I staggered forward with the weight that was cast upon me so suddenly. At last 1 could see him, glittering witli a faint phosphoric light In the darkness overhead, but I knew that at last I had him face to face. What was he like? Even now I can give myself no certain answer to that question. There was something like a head, and yet It was not a head, something that resembled a beak, and yet was unlike any beak I had ever seen. Tho eyes only the eyes were resognlzable as like, and even these were unlike anything 1 had known. I could feel each one of the bands he had thrown around me tighten with a convulsive pressure as It came. 1 could feel each of Its hundreds of suckers pull and strain till they dragged my flesh Into burning ridges under my cov eilng of leather. He was close to ine now, and he seemed to gather himself together for a final effort. His fiend ish eyes seemed to fix and paralyze my own till I could only gaze and gaze Into them a strange creeping numb ness coming over me as I did so. At that moment 1 felt a sudden pull at my waist. One, twice, a third lime! Home one had pulled the rope. In a moment life and consciousness seemed to come back to me and I was myself again. Like a lltsh I had gripped the tomahawk more firmly In the linnd that wus least encumbered and struck at the demon eyes that glared on me. They seemed to llash a lurid lire at me as I did so, but the edge sunk deep. Again and yet again I struck In the frenzy of my lecovered hold on life. There was- a terrible convulsion 111 which each of the clinging band- that bound me took a share. I felt myself dragged und tossed, und wrenched, In that supreme agony of my assailant, till at last I lost my balance and fell. i When I recovered the consciousness which I must huve lost, It seemed to me like u dieain, I lay on the deck of the brig, and Tom Madison knelt on one knee beside me while the skipper's face beamed on me from the background. My helmet hud been taken off, and the hot sun wus shining full on my face. I struggled Into u sitting position und stared i omul me stupidly for a mo ment, then Tom's voice said: "Well, liall, that was a pretty nar row squeak, wusn't It? AW owe Burn, here,' something for finding ymi." I looked round. The devil fish lay be side ine; one of his arms was fastened upon me still. A minute or two passed before I could realize what had happened. Even that gh'ustly-lnoklng object, with Its livid arms and mangled, shapeless body und head, that now lay limp and placid on the deck, seemed for the mo ment hardly more substantial than a dienm. After a few moments I put out iny hand and touched It, and with the touch It all came back to me. "Hut the gold, Tom," I exclaimed, eagerly, looking Into Mudlson'a face, "surely the native brought up some of the gold with him." Tom smiled and danced at the cap tain, and the captain shook his head. "Have a drop mure brandy, sir," he said, "ye ain't shook the water out u' yer head, not yet," and the worthy skipper held a glass of brandy to my lips as he spoke. I groaned. It wan Just what I bad expected. Of course they didn't believe In the treasure ship, and I hud nothing to show nothing, ut least, but the re mulns of that wretched devil fisll, uud of course what proved nothing, 1 looked fiom one to the other, and then my eye tested on the blnck, who seemed to be the one referred to us Horn by Mndlson. "Did the nigger tell you where he found me?" 1 asked, looking al Tom. "No, llorti Isn't conimuiilcatlve, and It wns Just about till he could do to speak at all by the time he got you up. Hut whore do you think you wore?" "In the hold of the Spanish galleon, lo bo sure," 1 said, promptly, "within it couple of feet of the treasure." "The devil you were!" exclaimed Tom, In a startled tone. "Look here, Tom," 1 said, as 1 pro ceeded to gel up, "If It hadn't been for that brute of a fish, I'd have brought gold enough on board with me to con vince all handsi and ns It Is I'm' going back to get It." Tom's face looked puzzled, as If he hardly knew what to think, but there was no hesitation about the captain's jolly visage us he exclnlmed: "Not you, my hearty! That thundering devil llsh has got Into yer head, but ye'll be all right when ye've hu an hour or t. o'f snooze." I put my hand on Tom's shoulder. "Come on below, old mini," 1 said, "and I'll tell oti all about It." The skipper nodded to -Madison "That's talkln' now," he said. "Get him to lie down for a bit, till he gets over It, Mr. Madison. 1 should like to hoar about It myself, only I've got to (;o as!, i re ajrnlu now. Keep the yarn till I come buck, Mr. Hall; ye'll toll it all the l.fttei for a sleep." "Now, what's to be done, Mndlson?" I asked, ns we sat half an hour later on opposite sides of the table In the little Miloon ot the brig. "You're dead sure there was no mis take, I tall'." he said. "It was coin jou saw trickling into the witter?" "Sure?" I elucidated, with contempt. ' Should I want to mo back again for fun, do you suppose?" "Well," he suld, after thinking for half a minute, "theie's only one wny that I can think of -you'll have to go down aguln. 1M go myself In a mo men, old man, but the chances are I shouldn't lind M." I jumped up and gripped Tom by the hand us'I exclaimed: "That's what I say, but how are we going to manage It? They'll try to stop my going." "The skipper would, sure enough," snld Tom, with a laugh, "but I cun manage the otheis while he's gone ashoie. I'll go and talk to the mate now while you get Into the togs again. Ill have to offer hlin a share, though, I expect." "Oh," I said, "of course we'll all share, Tom. There'll be something for everybody, If we can once get it up." Ten minutes later I went on deck ready to face It again, and the moment 1 looked at the men I could see that Tom had been as good as his word. There was more curiosity than ever In the glances they cast at ine, but theie was a look of supptessed eagerness about the mate's face that convinced me he would forward my enterprise by every means in his power. "Look hero, sir!" lie said, coming up to me," de ye think ye could pilot us somewhere near the spot? Mr. Madi son tells me ye saw It from the deck, nud 1 should feel more easy In my mind If 1 could feel sure as there weie no mis take afore ye went down." The Idea seemed a good one, and in less thun live minutes we were In the beat, two sallows rowing, and the mate and Tom peering over the gunwale on each side, while 1 did my best to direct the men as I sat in the stern. We rowed some Utile dlstunce, and then 1 made them turn and come back, but as yet we had seen nuthlng. Surely we Were i lose to the brig now. I thought, and yet we seemed to have taken the light Hack, too. I stooped over the side and gazed Into the glass depths, and even ns I did so a shadow seemed to rise from the bottom. 1 grasped the gunwale and staled Into the water. Yes; there It was again. - The same shapeless yet suggestive rock 1 hud looked at from the brig. "Stop rowing!" I shouted; "bad; ,vat er, men" In another minute we lay perfectly still, and to my surprise not more than thirty yards from the biig. Tom and the mate gazed downwards for some seconds without speaking, and then the latter looked up. Well, I'll be jiggered," he exclaimed, "if I don't believe as it Is a ship after all.v I put on the helmet which lay on the seal beside me, and Tom saw to the fas tenings. I motioned to the men to pull a stroke and then to stop. Tom saw that the gear was clear and the hands on the bits looking after the pump, and In another Instant 1 had loweied my self over the stein, Tom put a large butcher's knife Into my hands and nodded. Thpii 1 let go. AW had judged our distance well, for when 1 felt my feet toiuili the bottom and looked nround I found that I was standing once more on thes loping deck of the Spanish galleon. A step or two and I had reached the edge of the hold, and In another moment 1 had dropped into the hold. It looked strangely familiar as I east a quiet glance around me In the liquid twilight, but I felt that 1 couldn't afford to pause. 1 turned my face reso lutely to the darker shadows and de scended the slope step by stop Into tli.- darkness below. I was determined to succeed, and yet the effort was the greatest 1 had ever made in my life. At last I had reached tho place. If It hud only been by the sharp shudder that passed through me 1 should have known that It was the same. Yes, there was the black heap of piled-uji cases i.nce more, there the black cavern out of whl'ii the aims had stolen I (otild fancy I saw and felt them nun In. I waited In lin athless expectation, but nothing happened. Then I stooped for ward Into the darkness and groped blindly In the shadow. I gave a cry us DR. E. C.

I am not sine how I got back to the daylight. 1 pulled the signal rope as agreed, and still in the same stute of unnatural excitement 1 found myself hoisted through the water to the side of the brig. Tho boat was there before me, und the first things 1 saw, as- my eyes leeoveied from the daazled feel ing with which they confronted the white sunlight, were the eagerly startled faces of Tom, the mate and the sailors. The mute grasped me by the arm, and he and Tom hauled me on board the boat, and then, for the first time, I opened my hands and let the flashing sunlight glitter on the quaint gold coins that had lain so long amidst the coiul beds of the bay. As I had anticipated, the evidence of the gold was Irresistible. We moved the brig to the spot, and the task of getting up the treasure proved less la borious than niltrht have been expect ed. For my own part 1 didn't' go down again. Now that the excitement wus at an end I found that the strain had told upon me moie than I had any idea of at the time.
