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 on the water as it bubbled out of thf 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 i end. And I'll not deny either, but what 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, upon my word of honor, to clap you somewhere'* safe ashore, "r, if that ain't your fancy, some of my hand ,1 »■ log rough, and having old scor» s on ac count of buying, then you can stay lie re you can.

"Jtefuse that, and you've seen the last of me but musket-balls." "Very well," said the captain. "Now you'll hear me.

"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 his crutch. Then lie spat into the spring. "There!" he cried, "that's what I think uf ye. Before an hour's out, I'll stove in your olu biock-house like a runi puncheon. Laugh, by thunder, laugh! Before an hour's out. ye'll laugh upon the other side, 'i'hein that die'll be the lucky ones." 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 HH instant afterward among the trees. 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. lie rourvd aloud, tod hi* buigfr wwt up OT«r hla hHd. 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> ward, a ad, with my cutlnes raised, ran rouwJ the corner vt the house.

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 ••pirt—fire from the hotlie 1 cried 1 lie doctor. "And you, lads, back Into cover." 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.

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 ber of the children who go to our pub- JJr. pvW n> nrr fc u Mfiiw* lntion, en'unciation, the modulation of the voice, and with a correct under standing of the sounds of the letters,* foundation has been laid upon which It will not be difficult, to rear a solid and symmetrical superstructure.
