SILVER'S EMBASSY.
Sure enough, there were two inen
junt outside the stockade, one of them
waving a white cloth; the other, nolens
a person than Silver himself, standing
| placidly by.
It was Btill fjuitc early and tho cold
est morning that I think I ever was
j otli wa«i IM, »• vUiU I'icn t'l ***"
' marrow. The sky was bnghtandcloud
| lesa overhead, and the tops of the trees
I shone rosily in the sun. J'ut where Sil
| vcr stood with his lieutenant all was
still in shadow, and they waded knee
deep in a low white vapor, that had
crawled during tho iiiplit 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 tho eap
tnin. "Ten to one this is a trick."
Then ho hailed the buccaneer.
"Who goes? Stand or we fire."
".Flag of truce," '-Tied Silver.
The captain was in the porch, keep
ing himself carefully out of the way of
a. treacherous shot should any be in
tended. Jfe turned and spoke to ns.
"Doctor's watch on the lookout. I)r.
liivesey, tako the north side, if you
please; Jim, the east, Gray the west.
Tho wt'tch below, all hands to load mus
kets. Lively, men, and careful."
Ajid then he turned to the mu
tineers.
"And what do you want with your
flag of truce?" he cricl.
This tlnaj it was the other man who
replied.
"Cap'n Silver, f-ir, to come on l>onrd
and make terms," ho shouted.
"Cap'n Silver! Don't know him.
Who's he?" cried tho captain. And we
could hear him adding to himself:
"Cup'n, Is it? My heart, and here's
promotion 1"
Long J'llin answered for himself.
"Me, sir. These poor lads have
chosen me cap'n, after your desertion,
nir"—laying particular Htrcss u[Kin the
word "desertion." "We're willing to
submit. If wc can come to terms, and no
bones about It. All I ask is your word,
Cap'n Smollett, to let me safe and sound
out of this here stockade, and one
minute to get out o* shot before a gun
ifi flrcdl"
"My man," said Capt. Smollett, "I
have not the slightest denlrei to talk to
you. If you wish to talk tome,youcun
come, that'll all. If there"* any treach
ery, It'll be on"your side, and the Lord
help you."
"That's enough, enp'n," shouted Long
John, cheerily. "A word from you'*
enough. 1 know a gentleman, and you
may lay to that."
We could see the man who carried the
flag of truce attempting to hold Sil
vcr back, nor won that wonderful, see
ing how cavalier had been the cap
tain's answer. Hut Silver luuglud at
him aloud, and shipped him on the
hack, as If the idea of alarm had been
absurd. Then he advanced to the
stockade, threw over his crutch, got a
leg up, and with great vigor and skill,
*iiceeeded In surmounting the fene«
and dropping safely to tin- other Hide.
I will confess that I was far too much
taken up with what was going on
bo of the slightest iim' as sentry; In
deed, 1 had already des<Tte«l my eastern
loophole, and crept up behind the cap
tain, who hod now seated himself on tli»
threshold, with liis elbows on his knees
his head in his hands, and his eyes fixed

old iron kettle in the wind, lie win
whistling to himself: "Come, I.asaei
and Lads."
Silver had terrible hard work get
11ntr up the knoll. With the steepnew
of the Incline, the thick tree stump",
and the soft wind, he and his crutch
were us helpless as a ship In stays. Hut.
lie stuck to It like a man In sib-nee, and
at last arrival before the captain, whom
lie saluted in the handsomest style.
He was tricked out In his best; an im
mense blue coat, thick with brass but
tons, hung as low as to his knees, and
n (1!»- kiccd hat was net on the bacfc "f
his head.
"lleio you are, my man," said the
captain, raising bis head. "You hail
better sit down."
"You ain't argolng to let me inside,
cap'n. It's a ifTtiin cold morning, to be
sum', sir, to ait outside upon the rand."
[ "Why, Siher," said the c. ptain, "if
you had pleased to be cn honest man
'you might have btvn sitting in your
galley. It's your own doing. You're
either iny ship's cook—and then you
were treated handsome—or Cap'n Sil
ver, a common mutineer and pirate,
and then you can go hang!"
"Well, well, cap'n," returned the sea
cook, sitting down as h • was bidden on
the sand, "you'll have to ;rive iiiea hai -1
up again, that's all. A sv.eet, pretty
place you have of it here. Ah, there's
Jim. The top of the mornin-r 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 the captain.
"Right you are, Cap'n Smollett," re
plied Silver. "Dootv is dooty, to l>e
sure. Well, now, you look here, that
was a good lay of yours last night. I
" Rwfumm that and you h.ivn aeon the luat cf ma
but ipuaket ba cried Silver.
• don't deny it was a jjood lay. Some of
! you pretty handy with a hand spike

some of my people was six, < 4 maybe
all was shook; maybe 1 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 oft' a point <>r
so on the rum. Maybe you think we
were all a sheet in the \\ iud'.s eye. But
I'll tell you I was sober; I was on'y dog
tired; and if I'd nw okc a second sooner
I'd a caught you at the art, I would.
Jle wasn't dead when I got round to
him, not he."
"Well?" says Capt. Smollett, as cool
as can be.
All that Silver said was a riddle to
him, but you would never have guessed
It from his tone. As for me, T liegan to
have an inkling. Ben Qunn's last words
came back to my mind. I began to
suppose that he had paid the buccan
eers a visit while they all lay drunk
together around their fire, an<! I reck
on ea" if) wtTn
I I enemies to deal with.
"Well, here it Is," said Silver. "We
want that treasure, and we'll have it—
that's our point! Vou would just as
soon save your lives, I reckon; and
that's yours. Vou have a chart, haven't
you?"
"That's as may be," replied tho cap
tain.
"Oh, well, you have, I know ilint,"
returned I<ong John. "You needn't be
K> husky with a man; there ain't a par
ticle of service in that, 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. "We know ex
actly what you meant to do, and we
don't care; for now, you see, you can't
do it."
Ami Ihe captain looked at him calm
ly, and proceeded to fill his pipe.
"If Abe Gray—" Silver broke out,
"Avant there!" cried Mr. Smollett.
"Gray told me nothing, and I naked him
nothing; and what's more, I would sec
you and him and ihls whole island
blown clean out "f
llrst. So there's my mind fur you, my
man, on that."
This little whiff of temper seemed to
cool Silver down, lie had been grow
ing nettled before, but now
himself together.
"Like enough," : aid he.. "I would
set no limits to u h.lt gentlemen might
consider ship shape., or might not, as
the ease were. And, seein" as how you
are about to take a pipe, cap'n, I'll make
so free as to do likewise."
And he lilled a pipe and lighted it,
and the two men :iat silently smok
ing for quite nwhlle, now ltxtkiugeach
other in the face, now i topping t heir to
bacco, now leaning forward to spit. It
was as iftKMl ns the play to s< r tlirip.
"Now," resumed Silver, "here It is.
You give us tho chart to get the
treasure by, and drop shooting prxiT
seamen and stoving in t heir heads while
asleep. You do that, and we'll offer
you a choice. Either you come along
' aboard of us, once the treasure hipped.
and then I'll give you my nffydnvy,

voice— "that, all hands in thi» here

("apt. Smollett rose from hie neat, and
knocked out the ashes from his pipe in
the palm of his h tt hand.
"is that all?" he nskwl.
"Kvcry last word, by thunderl" an
swered John. "Jtefuse 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

Silver's face was a picture; his eyes

shook the lire out of hi pipi
"(Jive me u liaml U|>l" he cried.
"Not I," returned the captain.
"Who'll give me a hand up?" he
roared.
Not a man among us moved. Growl
ing the fouu-st imprecations,he crawled
a! the sand tin lie gut hold of tho
porch and could hoist, himself again

the spring.
"There!" he cried, "that's what I

Before an hour's out. ye'll laugh upon

And with a dreadful oath he
stumbled off, plowed down the sand,
was helped across the stockade, after
four or five failures, by the man with
the flag of truce, and disappeared in

CHATTER XXI.
THE ATTACK.
As scon as Sih -r disappeared, the
captain, who had been closely watch
ing him, turned toward the interior of
the house, and found not a man of us at
his ; ost but Gray. It was the first time
we had ever seen him angry.
"Quarters!" he roared. And then, as
we ;.l! :•! f.k back to our places, "Gray,"
he ii,l, "I'll put your name in the log;
you've stood bj your duty like a sea
man. Mr. Trelau i cy, I'm surprised at
you, sir. Doctor, 1 thought you had
worn the king's coat! If that was how
you s. rved at Fontenoy, sir, you'd have
been b tter in your berth."
The doctor's watch were all back at
their loop-holes, the rest were busy
loading the spare muskets, and every
one with a red face, you may be certain,
and «'i flea In his ear, as the saying is.
The captain looked on for awhikl 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
out, at he said, we shall be boarded.
We're outnumbered, I needn't tell you
that, but we fight in shelter; and, a
mii ::1c n;fo, I should have said we
fought with discipline. I've 110 manner
of doubt that we can drub them, if you
choose."
Then he went the rounds, and saw,
ns 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
.score of muskets for the seven of us;
the Pi re wood had been built into four
pi I- -—tables, you might say—one
about 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.
"T' s out the fire," said the captain;
"the chill K p:i>t, and wc mustn't have
fcmoke in our eyes."
The iron fire basket was carried
bodily out by Mr. Trelawney, and the
embers smothered among sand.
"Hawkins hasn't hud his breakfast.
TTawklnr, 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 brandy to all
\ d while this wrs going on the cap
tain completed, in his own mind, thv
plan of the defense.
"Doctor, you will take the door," he
resumed. "See and don't expose your
self; 11 cp within, and fire through the
there. Joyce, you stand by the west,
mv man. Mr. Trelawney! you are the
best, ' it -you and Gray take this long
north side, with tho live loop-holes;
it's tin re the danger is. If they can get
up to it, and lire in upon ux through
our own ports, things would begin to
look dirty. Hawkins, neither you nor
I are much account at the shooting;
we'll > tand bv to load and beara hand."
As 1h- captain had said, the chill
was p i t. As soon as the sun had
climbed above our girdle of trees it
fell with all its force upoiu tlie clear
ing and drank up the vapors at a
draught. Soon tho sand was linking,
nnd the re -iu melting in the logs of tJte
Color), house. Jackets and coats were
flung a.-ide; shirt*, were thrown open
at the neck and rolled up to the
shoulders; and we stood there, each at
his post, in a fever of heat and anxiety.
An hour passed nwny.
"Hang them!" said the captain.
"This is as dull as the doldrums. Ur»y,
whlwtlc for a wind."
And just at that moment came Che
first news of the attack.
"If you please, sir," said Joyce, "If
I pre anyone, am I to fire?"
"I told yo'i so!" cried the captain.
"Tl ink you, sir," returned Joyce,
with the f une ipiiet civility.
Nothing followed for a time; but the
remark had set us all on the alert,
straining ears end eye; the inuideet
ccrs with their pieces balanced in their
/lands, the captain out In tho middle of
the block-house, with his mouth very
tight and a frown on his fucw.
So some seconds passed, till sudden
ly Joyce whipped up his musket and
II red. The report had seurccly died
away ere It was repeated ami repented
from without in a scattering volley,
■hot behind i hot. Ilka a i t ring <<f geese,
from every side of the Inelosure. Sev
eral bullets struck tho log house, but
not one entered; and, iim the smoke
cleared away and vanished, tho stock
ade and the woods around it looked
as quiet and empty lis before. Not a
bough waved, not the gleam of a mus
ket barrel betrayed tin-presence of our
foes.
"1)1(1 you lilt your man?" asked tlie
captain.
"No, nir," replied Joyce. "I tocllevo
not, sir."
"Next best thing to tell tho truth,"
muttered (apt. Smollett. "I«otid his
gun, lluwkinH. Mow many should you
nay tlieio were on your akle, doctor 7"
"1 know precisely," said Dr. Llvescy.
"Three shots were fire*l on this side.
I saw tho three flashes fwo close to
gether one further to the west."
"Three!" repented tin* captain. "And
how many on yours, Mr. Trelawney?"
Itnt this was not so easily answered.
There had come many from the north
. m', en, by the M|uirrV computation,
eight, or nine, according to Gray. From
tin east uml we t only a single shot
had been 11 red. It was plain, therefore,
that tho attack would bo developed
from the north, and that on tho other
three sides wo were only to be an
noyed by u show of hostilities. Hut
("apt. Smollett, made no change In his
arrangements. If 11»■ mutineers suc
ceeded In ero.-.iug the stockade, he ar
gued, they would take, pos-.cnslon of
an , unprotected loop hole and shoot us
.down like rats In our stronghold.
Nor had we much time left to US for
thought. Suddenly, with a loud huzza,
a little cloud of pirates leaped from the
woods on the north sldo and ran
rtraiglit on the stockade. At the snino
moment the lire was once more opened
from thf woods, and a ride ball sung
thiough the doorway and knocked the
doctor's musket Into bits.
The blunders swarmed over the fence
like monkeys. Squire and <iruy fired
again and yet again; thn'e men fell,
one forward into the Inclosure, two
ti.i' It on- the outsiHe. Hut of these, one
~ jr**
was evidently more frightened than
hurt, for he was on his feet again in a
crack, and instantly disappeared
among the trees.
Two had bit the dust, one had fled,
four had made g*xxl their footing in
side our defenses; while from the shel
ter of the woods seven or eight men,
each evidently supplied with several
muskets, kept up a hot though useless
fire on the log house.
The four who had boarded made
straight before them for the building,
r.houting as they ran, and> 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 had swarmed up the
mound awl were upon us.
The head of Job Anderson, the boat
swain, appeared at the middle loop
holt-'.
"At 'em —all hands!" he reared, in
a voice of thunder.
At the same moment another pirate
grasped Hunter's musket by the muz
zle, wrenched it from his hands,
plucked it through the loophole, and,
with one stunning blow, laid the poor
fellow senseless on the floor. Mean
while a third, running unharmed all
round the house, appeured suddenly in
the doorway, and fell with his cutlass
on the doctor.
Our position was utterly reversed.
A moment since we were firing, under
cover, at an exposed enemy; now it
was we who lay uncovered, and could
not return a blow.
The log house was full of smoke, to
which we owed our comparative safety.

Cries and confusion, the flashes and
reports of pistol shots and one loud
groan rang in my ears.
"Out, lads, out, and fight 'cm in the
opeiu! Cutlasses!" cried the captain.
I snatched a cutlass from the pile,
and some one at the same time snatch
ing another gave me a cut across
the kniicklts, which I hardfy felt. 1
dashed out of the door into the clear
sunlight. Some one was close behind,
I.know not who. Right in front, the
doctor was pursuing his assailantdown
the hill, and, just, as my eyes fell upon
him, beat down hla guard and sent him
sprawling on his back, with a great
slash across his face.
"Round the house, lads! round the
house!" cried the captain; and even in
the hurly-burly I perceived a change In
Mirhmiloally I obeyed. t-nrnencasi>

but, ah the blow still hung impending,
leaped in a trice upon one side, and*
missing my foot in the soft wind, rolled
headlong down the slope.
When I hod first sallied from the door
the other mutineer* had been already
swarmLng up the palisade to moke on

ours.

cut down the big booUwoln ere he had
time to recover from his lost blow.
Another had been shot at a loophole In
the very act of firing I into the house,
nnd now lay In agony, the pistol still
smoking in his hand. A third, as I had
seen, the doctor had disposed of at a
blow. Of the four who had Honied the
paliaade, one only remained unac
counted for, und he, having left his cut
lass on the field, was now clambering
out again with the fear of death upon
him. j

doctor. "And you, lads, back Into

But his words were unheeded, tio
whot was fired, and the last boarder
made good his escape, and disappeared
with the rest into the wood. In three
seconds nothing remained of the at
tacking party but the five who had
fallen, four on the inside, and one on the
outside, of the palisade.
The doctor and Oray and I ran full
speed for shelttr. The survivors would
soon be back where they had left their
muskets, and at any moment the fire
might recommence.
The house was by this time w.mewhat

CULTIVATION OF THE VOIOE.
Mot CoatUni'd Alone to Learn
Mog.
The (tossrssor oi a well-modulated,
pleasant, rather lon-pitvhed and melo
dious \nice has something of which he
may feel justly proud. Many foreigners
And fault with the American voice.
They cull it harsh and nasal, crude, un
cultured ami peculiarly irritating to
those who are nccuftomed to the rather
ftoft. somewhat liquid intonation* of the
I.atin races.
Cultivating Ihe 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 ot
the unnatural tone which it is very
!j to acquire. The child is an imitative
creature, and follows very cloaely the
sounds that it hears from those about
it. If it constantly listens to any par
ticular sound, as n matter of course it
will very soon take it tip and" adapt it
as its own. Of even more Importance
than- the cultivation of the voice is the
building of it. Xc ore 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
arc given to extreme faultincss In l 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
fled, to nil appearance, so long as they
are able to make themselves under
stood. The time is well spent that Is
given to teaching the little ones thecor
rect modulation of their voice®. TTe
all know children to whom it Is n pleas
ure to listen, their intonation in srprak>
lug 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 l gift of nature. Sure*
ly a child with such a preparatory train
ing furnishes infinitely better material
for subsequent culture than one who
comes, under his teacher's hands, mere
ly a lump of crude humanity. In the
one case every word, work, thought and
Interest of the 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 Itv the un
folding of such an Intelligence. It
sometimes occurs that such children are
much more highly gifted, when la fact
they are made greatly superior tp their
fellows simply because they were given
a correct start in life. On the other
hand, every endeavor Is like pulling
against the streah?. The little one Ls
told that such and such a way to pro
nounce a wcrd is correct; that its voice
and phrasing must l>e so and so. It
Mpends three or four hours a dhy In the
schoolroom aid 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. The logical
conclusion of this state of things Is a
confused and contradictory estimate of
the child's duties. It Is sent to school
to learn, and If it learna that its parenta
and friends arc wrong the results can
not but be extremely discouraging. It
Is safe to say that a considerable num
