CHAPTER XX.
SILVER'S EMBASSY.
Sure enough, there were two men
just outside the stockade, one of them
waving a white cloth; the other, nolens
a person than Silver himself, standing
placidly by.
It was still quite early and the cold
est morning that I think I ever was
nUlwua 111, >. vl.«l U...V jKCMXn t».v
marrow. The sky was bright and cloud
less overhead, and the tops of the trees
shone rosily in the sun. Hut where Sil
ver stood with his lieutenant all was
still in shadow, and they waded knee
deep In a low white vapor, that had
crawled during the night out of the
morass. The chill and vapor taken to
gether told a poor talc of the island. It
was plainly a damp, feverish, unhealthy
spot.
"Keep indoors, men," said tins cap
tain. "Ten to one this is a trick."
Then lie hailed the buccaneer.
"Who goes? Stand or we fire."
"Flag of truce," cried Silver.
The captain was in the jiorcli, keep
ing himself carefully out of the way of
a treacherous shot should any be in
tended. lie turned and spoke to its.
"Doctor's watch on the lookout. Dr.
bivesey, take the north side, if you
please; Jim, the east, Gray the west.
The watch below, all hands to load mus
kets. Lively, men, and careful."
And then he turned again to the mu
tineers.
"And what do you want with your
flag of truce?" he cried.
This time it was the other man who
replied.
"Cap'n Silver, sir, to come on board
and make terms," ho shouted.
"Cap'n Silver! Don't know him.
Who's he?" cried Iho captain. And we
could hear him adding to himself:
"Cap'n, is it? My heart, and here's
promotion!"
Long John answered for himself.
"Me, sir. These poor lads have
chosen me cap'n, after your desertion,
Hir" —laying particular stress upon the
word "desertion." "We're willing to
submit, if we can come to terms, and no
bones about It. All I ask is your word,
Cap'n Smollett, to letmesafennd sound
out of this hero stockade, and one
minute to get out o' shot before a gun
is fired!"
"My man," said Capt. Smollett, "I
have not the slightest desire to talk to
you. If you wish to talk tome, you can
come, that's all. If there's any treach
ery, it'll be on'your side, nnd the Lord
help you."
"That's enough, cap'n,"shoutedLong
John, cheerily. "A word from you's
enough. I know a gentleman, and you
■lay lay to that."
We could see the man who carried the
llag of truce attempting to hold Sil
ver back, nor was that wonderful, see
ing how cavalier had been the cap
tain's answer. Hut Silver laughed at
him aloud, and slapped him on the
back, as if the idea of alarm had been
absurd. Then lie advanced to the
stockade, threw over his crutch, got a
leg up, and with great vigor and skill,
succeeded in surmounting the fenc*
and dropping safely t<> the other side.
I will confess that I was furjoouiucb
taken up with what was going on to
bo of the slightest use as sentry; In
deed, 1 had already deserted my eastern
loophole and crept up behind the cap
tain, u ho had now f ealcd himself 011 tin
threshold, with his elbows 011 his knees
his head in his hands, and Ids eyes fixed
on the water »s it bubbled out of the
old iron kettle in the sand. He win
whistling to himself: "Come, Ltissc
and Lads."
Silver had terrible hard work pet
ting up the knoll. With the Ktcepnew
of the incline, the thick tree stumps,
and the soft sand, lie and his crutch
were us helpless as ;i ship in stays. Hut
he stuck to it like a man in silence, and
ut last arrived before the captain, whom
he saluted in the handsomest style.
He was tricked out In his best; an im
mense blue coot, thick with brass but
tons, hung as low sis to his knees, and
a lin« - kaecd hat was net on the bnrk of
his head.
"liero you are, my man," said the
captain, raising his head. "You had
bel ter sit down."
"You ain't a going to let me inside,
•iiji'n. It's a 1 (Thin cold morning, to be
sure, sir, to tit out idc upon tJit- 1 and," |
"Why, Siher," said the captain, "if
you had pleased to be an honest man
'you might have I t 1: sitting in your
galley. It's your own doing. You're
either my ship's cook—and then you
were treated handsome—or Cap'n Sil
ver, a common mutineer -id pirate,
and then you can go hang!"
"Well, well, cap'n," returned the sea
cook, sitting down as h • was i idden on
the sand, "you'll have to <riv nva hr. • d
tip again, that's all. A sweet, pretty
place you have of it Lore. Ah, there's 1
Jim. The top of the mornimr to you,
Jim. Doctor, here's my service. Why,
there you all are together like a happy
family , in a manner of speaking."
"if you have anything to say, my
man, better say it," said tin captain.
"Ilight you are, Cap'n Smollett,"' re- ■
plied Silver. "Dooty is dooty, to be
sure. Well, now, you look here, that
was n good lay of yours last night. I j
' C^> X
ifwtfl or
I '• Refuse that and you hive aeon the luat cf ram

• don't deny It was a good lay. Some of
! you pretty handy with a hand-spike
end. And I'll not deny either, but what
some of my people wrus sb ok maybe
all was shook; maybe I was shook my
self; maybe that's why I'm here for
terms. But you mark me, cap'n, it
won't do twice, by thunder! We'll have
to do sentry go, and ease oil' a point or
so 011 the rum. Maybe, you think we
were all a sheet in the wind's eye. Hut
I'll tell you I was n >l>er; I was ou'y dog
tired; and if I'd awoke a second sooner
I'd a caught you at the act, I would.
Ho wasn't dead when I got round to
him, not he."
"Well?" says Capt. Smollett, as cool
as ean be.
All that Silver said was a riddle to
him, but you would never have guessed
It from his tone. As for me, I began to
have an inkling. lien Gunn's last words
e«me back to my mind. I began to
suppose that he had paid the buccan
eers a visit while they nil lay drunk
tocelher around their fire, and I reck
oned tip wtTn jr,!>•»» -—— —...
11 enemies to deal with.
"Well, here it is," said Silver. "We
want that treasure, and we'll have it -
that's our point! You would just as
soon save your lives, I reckon; and
that's yours. You have a chart, haven't
you ?"
"That's as may be," replied tlio cap
tain.
"Oh, well, you have, I know that,"
returned Long John. "You needn't be
so husky with a man; there ain't a par
tide of service in t hat, and you may lay
to it. What I mean is, we want your
chart. Now, I never meant you no
harm, myself."
"That won't do with me, my man,"
interrupted the captain. "W< know ex
actly what you meant to do, and we
don't care; for now, you see, you can't
do it."
Ami the captain looked at him calm
ly, and proceeded to fill his pipe.
"If Abe Cray- Silver broke out.
"Avant there!" cried Mr. Smollett.
"Cray told uie nothing, and I a ked him
nothing; and what's more, I would sec
you and him and this whole island
blown clean out of the w liter into blazes
llrst,. So there'# my mind for you, my
man, on that."
This little will IT of temper seemed to
cool Silver down. He had been grow
ing nettled IN-fore, but now beguiled
himself together.
"Like enough," aid he. "I would
set no limits to whitt K* titleineii might
consider ship shape, or might not, as
the ease were. And, seeiti' as how yott
are about to take a )»I j>« ■, cap'n, I'll make
SO free ns to do likewise."
And he tilled a pipe and lighted it,
anil the two men r,at silently smok
ing for <|iiite aw hile, now looking each
other in the face, now topping their to
bacco, now leaning forward to spit. It
was as good as the play to see them.
"Now," resumed Silver, "here it is.
You give us tlio chart, to get the
treasure by, and drop shooting poor
seamen and stovingln their bends while
asleep. You do that, and we'll offer
you a choice. Kit her you come along
aboard of us, once the treasure shipped,
nnd then I'll give you my nlTvdtivy,

Capt. Smollett rose from his scat, and
knocked out tlio ashes from his pipit in
the palm of his left hand.
"IK that all?" be asktjd.
"Every last word, by thunder!" an
swered John. "Kefuse that, and you've
seen the last of me but musket-balls."
"Very well," said the captain. "Now
you'll hear me. If you'll come up one
by one, unarmed, I 'II engage to clap you
all in Irons, and take you home to a
fair trial ill
my name is Alexander Smollett, I've

Silver's face was a 'picture; his eyes
started In his 10-ail with wrath. Il«
shook the lire out of In pipe.

CIIAPTEi: XXI.
THE ATTACK.
As soon as Sil\.-r disappeared, the
captain, who had beer, closely .watch
ing him, turned toward the interior of
th, liou-e,and found not n man of us at
his post but Gray. It was the first time
we had ever seen liim angry.
"Quarters!" he roared. Ar.d then, as
we all : r.k Iki 1, to our places, "Gray,"
he s.ii.l, "I'll put your name in the log;
; you've stood by your only like a sea
: man. Mr. Trelawney, I'm surprised at
you, sir. Doctor, 1 thought you had
worn the king'scoat! If that was how
you st rvt d at Fontenoy, sir, you'd have
been better in j our berth."
The doctor's watch were all back at
their 1 ji-lioles, the rest were busy
loading the spare muskets, and every
or., with a red face, you may be certain,
and a flea In his ear, as the saying is.
The captain looked on for awhilrt in
silence. Then he spoke.
"My lads," he said, "I've given
Silver a broadside. I pitched it in red
hot on purpose; and before the hour's
i ;.f, - he said, we shall be boarded.
We're outnumbered, I needn't tell you
that, but we fight in shelter; and, a
mil.ute ago, I should have said we
fought with discipline. I've no manner
of doubt that we can drub them, if you
choose."
Then he went the rotin ls, and saw,
as he said, that all was clear.
On the two short sides of the house,
east and west, there were only two
loop-holes; on the south side where
the porch was, two again; and on the
north side, five. There was a round
s score of muskets for the seven of us;
the firewood had been built into four
piles—tables, you might say —one
al>out the middle of each side, and on
each of these tables some ammunition
and four loaded muskets were laid
ready to the hand of the defenders. In
the middle, the cutlasses lay ranged.
"Toss out the fire," said the captain;
"the chill is past, and we mustn't have
Kinoke in our eyes."
The iron fire basket was carried
bodily out l>y Mr. Trelawney, and the
embers smothered among sand.
"Hawkins hasn't had his breakfast.
Hawkins, help yourself, and back to
your post to cat it," continued Capt.
Smollett. -"Lively, now, my lad; you'll
want it before you've done. Hunter,
sen out a round of tirandy to all
hands."
\ 1 while this wrs going on the cap
tain completed, in his own mind, thu
plan of the defense.
"I)(it-tor, you will take the door," he
resumed. "See and don't expose your
rclf; i ep y. ithin, and fire through tJie
there. Joyce, you stand by the west,
mv num. Mr. Trelawney! you are the
best shot you and Gray take (his long
north side, with tin: five loop-hob's;
it's tin re the danger is. If they can get
up to it, and lire in upon us through
our own ports, things would begin to
look dirty. Haw kins, neither you nor
I arc much account at the shooting;
w e'll stand by to load and bear a hand."
As the captain had said, the chill
was p.. t. As soon as the sun had
climbed above our girdle of trees it
fell with all its force the elear
ing and drank up the vapors at a
di a light. Soon tho sand was baking,
and th< resin inciting in the logs of tJie
(block-house. Jackets and coats were
flung aside; shirts were thrown open
at the neck and rolled up to the
shoulders; and we stood there, each at
his post, in u fever of heat and anxiety.
An hour passed away.
"Hang tlicin!" said the captain.
"This is as dull as the doldrums, (irny,
w hiMlc for a wind."
And just at that moment came the
first news of the attack.
"If you please, sir," said Joyce, "If
I pee ai \ one, am I to fire?"
"I tohl you so!" cried the captain.
"Tl iik \oii, sir," returned Joyce,
with the same ipiipt civility.
Nothing followed for a time; but the
remark had set us ail on the alert,
straining earn and *»yi the musket
eers with their pieces balanced In their
minds, the captain out in the middle of
the block-house, with his mouth very
tight and a frown on his fuccv.
So some seconds pa shed, till sudden
ly Joyce whipped up his musket and
li'red. The report had scarcely died
away ere it was repeated and repeated
from without in a scattering volley,
shot behind shot, like a siring of geese,
from cverj side of the Inclosure. Sev
eral bullets (.truck the log house, but
not one entered; and, an the smoke
eh ared away ami vanished, the stock
ade and the woods around it looked
as <|uict and empty us before. Not a
bough waved, not the gleam of a mus
ket barrel betrayed t lie presence of our
foes.
"Did you hit your man?" aaked the
captain.
"No, sir," rcplUsl Joyce. "I (believe
not, sir."
"N< \t best thing to tell the truth,"
muttered ('apt. Smollett. "Load his
Him, Hawkins. Mow many should you
h..\ there were on your side, doctor?"
"I know precisely." said Dr. Llvescy.
"Three shots were fir,.l on this side.
I saw tlu> three flashes two close to
gethep one further to the west."
"Three!" repeated the captain. "And
how in.iiij ou yours, Mr. 'I reiawney I
Hut this wa not so easily answered.
Then had come many from the north
. en, i... tl"- wjuirc'i computation!
ci> lit or nine, according to Gray. l''roui
tin cast uiel we .t only it single shot
had been fired. It was plain, therefore,
that the attack would be developed
from the north, aiwl that on tho other
three sides we were only to be an
noyed by a show of hostilities. Hut
( apt. Smollett made no change In his
arrangements. If the mutineers suc
ceeded in ito., ing the stockade, ho nr
giied, they would take possession of
in. unprotected loop hole au«l shoot us
down like rats In bur stronghold.
Nor had we much time left to us for
thought. Suddenly, with a loud liu/.ra,
a lit tlc cloud of pirates leaped from the
woods '.ii the itorth side and ran
straight on the : tockode. At the same
moment the fire was once more opened
from the wood , and a rifle ball SUIIK
thr.eigh thr doorway and knocked the
doctor's musket into bits.
The boarders • v\armed over the fence
like monkeys. Squire and Gray flred
again ai <t yet three men fell,
one forward Into tho Inelosure, two
back oiu the outsifle. Hut of these, ono

l.urt. for ho was on his feet again in a
crack, and instanily diMpptarrd

Two liail bit the dust, one had fled,
four had made good their fooling in
side our defenses; while from the shel
ter of the woods seven or eight men,
tach evidently supplied with several
muskets, kept irp a hot though useless
lire on the log house.
The four who had boarded made
straight before them for the building,
.'homing as they ran, ami) the men
among the trees shouted back to en
courage them. Several shots were
fired, but such was the hurry of the
marksmen that not one appeared to
have taken effect. In a moment the
four pirates hud swarmed up the
mound and were upon us.
The head of Job Anderson, the boat
[ swain, appeared at the middle lo®p-
I holf.
"At 'em—all hands!" he reared, in
j a voice of thunder.
At the same moment another pirate >
I grasped Hunter's musket by the muz- !
zle, wrenched it from his hands,
plucked it through the loophole, and, j
with one stunning blow, laid the poor
fellow senseless on the floor. Mean

the doorway, and fell with his cutlass

Our position was utterly reversed.

not return a blow.
The log house was full of smoke, to
which wc owed our comparative safety.

('tics and confusion, the Hashes and
reports of pistol shots and one loud
groan rang in my ears.
"Out, lads, out, and fight 'em in the
open*! Cutlasses!" cried the captain.
1 snatched a cutlass from the pile,
and some one at the same time snatch
ing another gave me a cut across
the knucklis, which I hardly felt. 1
dashed out of the door into the clear
sunlight. Some one was close behind,
I. know not who. llight in front, the
doctor was pursuing his assailant down
the hill, and, just as my eyes fell upon
him, beat down his guard and sent him
sprawling on his back, with a great
slash across his face.
"Hound the house, lads! round the
house!" cried the captain; and even in

sunlight- 1 had not time to be afraid,
but, as the blow still bung impending,
leaped in a trice upon one side, and*
missing my foot in the soft sand, rolled
headlong ikown the slope.
When I had first sallied from the door
the other mutineer# had been already
swarming up the palisade to make an
1 end of us. One man, In a red night
cap, with his cutlass in his mouth, had
even got upon the top and thrown a
leg across. Well, so short had been
the interval, that when I found my
feet again all was in the same posture,
I the fellow with the red night-cap still
half-way over another still just show
ing his head above the top of the stock
ade. And yet, In this breath of time,
, the fight was over, and the victory
ours.
Gray, following close behind mc, had
cut down the big boatswain ere he had
time to recover from his lost blow.
Another had been shot at a loophole In
the very act of firing inito the house,
and now lay in agony, the pistol still
smoking In his hand. A third, as I had
seen, the doctor had disused of at a
blow. Of the four who had scaled the
palisade, one only remained unac
counted for, and lie, having left blscut
luns 011 the field, was now clambering
out again with tbe fear of death upon
him. .
"Fire—-fire from the house! cried the
doctor. "And you, lads, bock Into

Hut his words were unheeded, no
' shot was fired, and the last boarder
made good bis escape, and disappeared
with the rest into the wood. In three
seconds nothing remained of the at

fallen, four on the inside, and one 011 the
I outside, of the palisade.
1 The doctor and Gray and I ran full
speed for shelter. The survivors would

CULTIVATION OF THE VOICE.
\ui ( ••iiUm-il Alone to Lrsrnlss »•
Sins.
The i>osMV«or 01 a well-modulated,
pleasant, rati., r low-pitched and melo
dious voice has something of which he
may feel justly j>roud. Many foreigners
find fault with the American voice.
They call it harsh and nasal, crude, un
culturid ami peculiarly irritating to
those who arc accustomed to the rather
soft, somewhat liquid intonations of the
Latin races.
Cultivating the voice is generally un
derstood 1 as learning to sing, but there
is voice culture which goes very far
beyond anything appertaining to mu
sical instruction. When the child be
gins to speak care should be taken that
it makes the proper sounds instead ol
the unnatural tore which it is very like»
*y to acquire. The child is an imitative
creature, and follows very cloeely the
sounds that it hears from those about
it. If it constantly listens to any par
ticular sound, as a matter of course it
will very soon take it up and' adapt it
as its own. Of even more Importance
than the cultivation of the voice is the
building of it. No or.c need be told that
there Is a wonderful advantage in work
ing upon any structure that has a care
fully-planned and properly-finished
foundation. The majority of singers
are given to extreme fnultincss In'their
enunciation- This comes largely from
a very slovenly habit of speaking, a hab
it formed in early childhood from asso
ciation with persons who give very lit
tle, if any, thought to the construction
of their language, being perfectly satis
fied, to all appearance, so long as they
are able to make themselves under
stood. The time is well spwt that Is
given to teaching the little ones the cor
rect modulation of their voices. We
all know children to whom it is a pleas
ure to listen, their intonation in speak
ing is so agreeable ami' their words seem
so well chosen that one Instinctively
wonders if these peculiarities (for pe
culiarities they certainly are) may »ot
be some gracious gift of nature. Snir>-
ly a child with such a preparatory train
ing furnishes infinitely better material
for subsequent culture thnt: one who
comes, under hi* teacher's hands, mere
ly n lump of crude humanity. In the
one case every word, work, thought and
Interest of tbe instructor not only tells
on the pupil's mind and the formation
of his character, but it is a positive
pleasure to watch and assist in the tin
| folding of such an intelligence. It
sometimes occurs that such children are
much more highly gifted, when in. fact
they are made greatly superior if> their
fellow s simply because they were given
a correct start in life. On the other
hand, every endeavor Is like pulling
against the streah:. The little on<? is
told that such and such a way to pro
nounce a word is correct; that its voice
and phrasing must be so and so. It
upends three or four hours a diny- in the
schoolroom and the remainder of the
24 in the society of those whose every
word and' act are in direct opposition
to the teacher's precepts and example.
Naturally the child is taught to honor
Its parents and to believe that what
they say and do is right. Tbe logical
conclusion of this state of things Is a
confused and contradictory estimate of
the child's duties. It is sen! to school
to learn, and'if it learns that its parents
and friends are wrong the results can
not but be extremely discouraging. It
Is safe to say that a considerable num-
I ber of the children who go to our ptil)-
we*
I Intion, en'unciation, the modulation of
! the voice, and with a correct under
standing of the sounds of the letters, a
foundation has been laid upon which it
will not be difficult to rear a solid nnd
symmetrical superstructure. NV.

The Iloman plaid nnd stripe craze has
reached even the region, of neck trim

rosettes and scarfs in gorgeous color
ings appear among the fancies in the
made-up goods departments of all city
stores.
The new beautiful tint of Vcnetiun
red, like the Neapolitan and royal dyes
in blue, is found only In expensive ma
terials that cannot be imitated with
any nucress in inferior textiles.
The fur blouse which will usurp the
place of both bodice and wrap is one of
the leading novelties of the season.
There are likewise fancy blouses for
very youthful wearers, inndc of Scotch
tariutiuis and plain, vivid reds of many
different shades, but somewhat toned
in effect by their velvet trimming.
Narrow velvet ribbon still occupies
a conspicuous position in the elabora
tion of many winder gowns. On Im
ported models for promenade wenr
alternate bands of narrow fur und an
equal width in velvet ribbon form a
rich garniture from the hem to the
knees.
A smart little French jacket, made of
Neapolitan blue ladies' cloth, is trimmed
about the waist with arching rows of
black velvet ribbons, put on to simu

very high collar nnd revers arc of Per
