' iitry : Ler, Mary knew that she could find food and shelter, and something seemed to tell her that she would be neoded by those she had dared so much to save, before morning. Foot-sore and soaked to the skin, for the snow hal turn! into rain, she reached the fisherman's hut about nine o'clock. Old 1'ctv, the fisherman, and Nancy, Lis wife, were still up, and were not a little sur prised and. alarmed to see Mary at that hour aud iu that sad condition. They, however, welcomed their young lady with all the clamorous words ot a Section and simple marks of respect peculiar to the negro race, and having replenished their fire and provided their visitor with such a change of dry ylotiriag as Xaucy's .huaf-Ue .wardrol'e or:1r rflbrd, and set before htr such simple refresh ments as their larder contained, they proceeded to inform her that they would, ere now, have re tired to re&t, but that there was something going en which they could not understand, and which alarmed t hem not a little. ' Lor bress de chile, she don't care to eat r.o ti'iir," said Xancy, "and no wonder case de f'Kxl ain't rich as a young lady like she am use to : but it's de best in de house, an I wish it wor letter for her fake ; but lor sakos, Misy Mary. wh;.t in de name ob goodness lias brung you out vt :e sich a ::iLi as dis You come wM v u :I i v : in r'!.' v. i vv ;re S"t:i : C. ill, s nguig. .ir Is- :ir" in ;ii. - ; witi, Mae, ! c r.r. v. e: - .-.re v. e-et I uav. . l ie e- n;.!rv J i.- .r-.l t .I. v,.r, :o, i :-'n v.p n the Vf.

The two vessels were seiou lost to view but for half an hour the combat on the ledge of rocks raged furiously, the anxious and tei rifled h-iokerson being quite unable to discern in the darkness and cyufusiou. which - party vers tho victor?. . " ' At length the struggle ceased, and the combat tants were seen moving from their position on the ledge, apparently carrying with them great num bers of their wounded and slain. Mary's heart sickened within her, and her sa ble companions were pale and speechless with affright. In a few minutes, however, heavy foot steps were heard approaching the hut, and pres ently a harsh voice demanded admission, while one of the party thundered at the doer. Il was e ; uned by the trembling IY'to, and two men en tered bearing a third, who cried in feeble tones for water. Xancy hastened to present it ; but Mary had receigiiized the voice of the sufferer, and with a cry of anguish she rushed towards him. " Oh, John ! eh, my brother!" she exclaim ed, and kneeling before the rude couch on which they had lain the wounded man, she clasped her brother's hand and burst into tenrs. "Ha! Mary!" exclaimed the young officer. " Go 1 God, where am I ? How is this ? I bade them bear me to old Nancy's cottage " " You are in Nanc-'s cottage," sobbed Mary. lut you how came you here V gasped the .wounded youth. Oil, John, never mind me now," sobbed Ma ry. " Tell mc arc y-u badly wounded ?" " I fear I am, Mary," answered the yoiii g man feebly. The ball has struck me in the shoul-d-r. There has been treachery somewhere, or wo should have surprised the cursed torica before tbev were prepared to lVer resistance." He spoke feebly, evidently suffering great pain; " I must ce after the rest of my poor b -vs." he said, though thank. God, our loss has not been heavy J The relcoa'.s have suffered most severely," ? ' ' Mary begged to remain with her brother, but the surgeon thcught her presence would excite him too much. He had adminitejed a narcot ic, which hail already taken cff.'ct.and theyorng man had fallen ir.toa sound slumber. The co'.or.c! requested he to walk into tl-e eth er room the hut contained. Meanwhho the Fur- geon had ex-tmined the prisoner's wound, &nd found it bat' slight a pistol bullet having mere ly grazed tlj for?partfthe skull. " Major Wilder generally aims fairer than that," r.bservc l cue of the soldiers. " I guos if he hadn't len shot jnst as l.e pulled the trigger that bullet would have told another story. " Ha! did Major Wilder fire the pist-jl that wounded tli6 prisoner?" atked the colonel. " Yes, j-our honor," re plied the soldier. I saw him shoot, rnd I like to speak fair on both sides. It wee after he was shot th?t this young man here sated the major from being run through by a bayonet by one of the redcoats." Mary turned and cast a look of gratitude up- j cn George, ti hick was observed by the colonel. ' Young tnan," he saidaddressing the prici er.
