Jnder tho Ice of Cape Gris Nor. two
asels were hove to within fifty yards

English sailors were

harbor, with a genral cargo,

winds to the wrong side of the
annel; the forty-two gun frigate Alite
had pounced upon her, and now
r skipper, Jacob Dempster, was ruelly
giving an account of himself on

'IWhat-vJc eteer a pack of Frenchmen

A murmur of approval caW from tho
prisoners behind him, but Founder,
a cynical, cniel-looklug man, merely
nailed. "I have so far omitted to stnte
ihe alternative," he said. "If neither
you nor ady member of your crew will

riie Frenchmen a long slant up tlie
meadows and hack again before flnallj
tpproaehlng their goal. The captain
looked at him once or twice suspiciously.
"You don't want your men stuck in
the luud," said tlreg, and he pointed
convincingly to a quagmire they were
passing.
After half an hour's wandering to
ind fro in the meadows he led the
party up to the bridge over the moat,
itul they entered the grounds of the
manor house from tlie rear. As they
tiled round to the front, n group of men
who were sitting under n tree on the
lawn started on seeing the familiar uniform.
A minute Inter Captain Founder
liad embraced his brother ami explained
the situation.
The prisoners of war were in an ecstasy
of delight at the prospect of, as one of
them facetiously put it, being "brutally
Jragged from their parole," but on the
-aptnin proposing an immediate return
:?> the boats, Cnmllle waved his hand
rayly in denreeation.
rournier in particular.
And now here he was, to Jacob's
amozment, assisting not only the nation,
but the Individual, to defy his own
country and to laud an armed force on
her shores.
Questioned by Captain Fournler as to
his reasons for not following their example,
he replied with a grin that he
was not so fond of his country as to
want to die for her when there was a
plain way out.
The Firefly was captured on a Saturday,
and It was not till dawn was
breaking on Sunday that Grog was
called on to act as pilot, brigantlne
was rounding Selsea B11L
As the vessel was now In the fair way
for Portsmouth and British cruisers
swarmed like wasps about the entrance
of their nest, the French seamen lay
concealed below, except half u dozen
dressed in garments taken from the
English sailors' stock. Captain Fournler,
pistol In hand, stood close to
Greg, alert for the first sign of treachery.
Before running for Hayling Island to
make the entrance of the creek he
found it necessarv to exeonto ?r>v<?r?l
maneuvers which took a Rood deal of
time, explaining the necessity of them
by the numerous shallows he had to
avoid.
When at length he put the helm up
and stood boldly into the creek on the
half flood the wind swerved from behind,
but presently a sharp bend in the
narrow passage made the sails useless
and the boats were ordered out to tow.
The brigantlne emerged from the narrow
gut of the winding creek Into the
broader waters at tlie village just as
the bells of Bosham church ceased ringing
for morning service.
The French captain was burning
with suppressed excitement.
"Where is the manor house where my
brother lives?" he asked, as (Jreg gave
(he wheel a turn and brought the Firefly
round.
"There, yonder?back of the church,"
was the reply. "I've fetched you up
right opposite to it?as near as I dare
go. You'd best anchor here."
The French captain gave the necessary
orders, and at once set about making
bis dispositions for landing his entire
force, except a sufllcleut guard for
the prisoners.
Though the landing entailed several
iourneys in the Firefly's boats, it was
rapidly effected, and with Founder at
its head the party started for the manor
house under dreg's guidance.
Only a hundred yards of marshy pasture
land lay between the creek and
under a proper complement of offlcsf*.
Captain Fouraler sent them aboard the
Firefly, and followed with Greg, for
he meant to lead the enterprise In person,
leaving the Alcegte in charge of him
first lieutenant.
As soon aa the transfer was complete
and a rendezvous appointed with the
frigate the French flag was hauled
down on the Firefly and she stood
across for the English coast Greg Applegarth
was permitted to remain on
deck, but Jacob Dempster and the rest
of his crew were thrust into the hold,
where they passed their time in cursing
their comrade's treachery.
That the traitor should be Greg Applegarth
was the most astonishing fact
of all?especially to old Jacob, who was
aware of certain tender passages between
the smart young sailor and his
own wayward daughter Peggy.
The prisoners of war were permitted
by the Government to rent the manor
house and live there as they pleased,
provided they kept to the stipulations
of their parole, which demanded that
they should make no attempt to escape
or go farther than two miles from their
dwelling.
Camille Fournler, the brother of the
captain of the Alceste, had early contrived
to scrape an acquaintance with
Peggy Dempster, and the vivacious village
beauty had been flattered into allowing
a warmer flirtation than she
had perhaps Intended.
> c(|Hjr nas ifuuiug wvrr UlT UtVIltTB
garden gate one evening, saying goodnight
to the French officer, who was too
much engrossed to notice that Greg Applegarth
was coming up the road.
"Would that my captivity eould endure
forever," Camille said. "How shall
I ever tear myself from your sweet
presence, Mistress Peggy, when I return
to France?"
"There is a way out of that difficulty;
you might ask me to come, too," replied
the thoughtless girl.
"I will bear that In mind," said Camille,
not suspecting, in his vanity, that
the words were meant for other ears
than his.
Greg Applegarth had referred to this
incident only the day before the capture
of the Firefly, and had expressed
a bitter hatred of all Frenchmen in
general and of Lieutenant Camille
1 opposition hero. Tb are not twentj
able-bodied Britona In the place. Moat
of them are In church, and they are all j
unarmed." |
"At* ah! you hare been amuelnj /
yourself," eald the captain. "Well,
hasten and say your adieus to the fall
one, for I am anxious to be gone."
"It Is not a matter of farewell, nothing
so dismal," replied the youngei i
brother, complacently twirling his mustache.
"The fair one la ready to accom- I
pany me whenever I take my departure,
but unfortunately she Is in church,
aud likely to remain there for anothei
hour. I have heard that the priest ol
Bosham Is a cleric of long wind."
?? mi? me muy a note, aBKing ner on
some excuse to leave the church," h< '
said. "I have with me an English sailor
who shall deliver it."
Cnmllle scribbled a few lines on a
leaf in his pocket book, folded It and
handed it to h\s brother, who ealled
Greg to him.
"You know this lady by sight?" lit
asked, pointing to the superscription.
The young sailor's face was as stead?
as a rock as he answered in the affirmative.
"Take It to her in the church, then,
and return yourself immediately. II
you do not return I will march my men
to the church and Arc upon the people,"
said Founder.
Greg disappeared In the shrubbery
which adjoined the churchyard.
Pushing open the door, lie removed
his cap and tiptoed reverently up the
aisle toward the chancel, where Peggy
Dempster was seated with the choir.
But without approaching the choir
Greg ran Quickly up the pulpit steps.
Mr. Gillyflower turned upon him angrily,
but on hearing the words which
were rapidly whispered in his ear the
vicar looked first startled, then shrewdly
Intelligent. His communication finished,
Greg left the church as quickly
as he had entered, with Camllle Fournier's
note still in bis pocket, and without
once looking at Peggy.
On the manor house lawn, t?here the
French seamen made a picturesque
group under the trees, Greg's return
was hailed with acclamation by the
officers?by the two Founders especially.
"What did she do when you gave her
the note7" asked Camllle eagerly.
"She just did nothing," was the unconcerned
reply.
"You see, my dear Camllle, she has
changd her mind," said the captain.
"Come, let us be off out of this."
"What matter so long as I gain my
purpose?" retorted the lieutenant brutally.
"No, take the others and sail
away If you please. As for me, nothing
will move me unless I can take the fair
Mile. Dempster."
Captain Founder bit his Up, but gave
In. At most It only meant waiting until,
the close of the service, which could
long deferred, and In the
seclusion of the manor house grounds
the presence of the landing party
would,. In the meanwhile, remain undetected.
But when the minutes grew Into an
hour and a half, yet no signal was given
by the man posted In the shrubbery to
watch the church door, the captain be*
gan to fume and stamp with rage.
Ho finally threatened to turn the pre<
tense of a forced abduction Into a real-*
ity and carry Camllle on board the Fire-"
fly whether or no.
"If you do that," said the lieutenant,
"my first act on reaching France will
be to demand of you satisfaction."
At last the elder Founder's patience
was exhausted.
"Fall in, men," he said to his crew.
"We will put the cloture on this loquacious
priest, and take the girl from under
his nose. Perhaps that will satisfy
j*ou, ingrate?" turning to Camllle.
"Excellently well," replied the lieutenant,
and with the jaunty quickstep
of France the column tramped Into the
shady churchyard, where the sonorous
tones of Mr. Gillyflower were plainly
audible. i
"Peste upon the fellow," muttered the
captain, telling off twenty men to accompany
him and his brother into the
church.
Greg, who had followed closely nt bin
elbow, plucking him by the sleeve, aald,
quietly:
"It will be a long time before you see
Frauce again, captain. See there!'"
And, leading him to the churchyard
wall, lie pointed moekiugly at the Firefly.
The brigantine lay high and dry
on the mud at her anchorage, and
would not float again for ten hours at
least.
For a moment the brave lad's life
trembled in the balance. Then, with a
bitter oath, the captain put up his pistol
he had drawn.
"If you do the folk 110 harm you'll be
made comfortable, I expect," said Greg,
with a grin, for he hud foreseen that,
with retreat cut off. Founder would
dare no excesses. "You see. I remember
how the tide would serve to-day
and I timed so as to run you in nt
church time. 1 knew Peggy would be
there with the eholr, and that that
spark would never move without trying
to take her a Ion*, ? allowed that by

Ho, after all, that was tho kind of
traitor Greg was. His chief reward lay
In the removal of all the French prisonel's
new as well r.s old?to safer quarters,
as he had hoped from the tlrst.
And Peggy said: "It would have been
nicer of you to have given me that note,
silly. You were never that foolish as
to think I would have gone with him." !

particularly In oases of nervous weakness and
general debility, numerous instanoes of its
tfficaoy inthisolass bavlnx been noted, espesiallr
in the vioialty of Boston.
A typical case was readily found in the |
Bzperienoe of Mm Mary A. Oouway. avian 1
on Erie street, Do rooster. Mass., who had
been, according to her own testimony, suffering
for a long time with physical ana nervous
weakness, accompanied by palplti tlon of thn
heart and irregularity of functions.
"It Is true," she said, "that P have met
with a remarkable restoration through the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For some
time I was completely run down, and the
care of a family was a great strain upon me.
My lips were white and my heart palpitated
so severely that I oould not go up ana down
stairs without great distress. My digestion,
too. was weak, and I can truly say that I was
suffering from a general iaok of vitality.
"I took Pink Pills with misgivings, but
after taking only a small quantity I was
agreeably surprised to find that they were
all and more than they had been deeoribed
to be.
"From the very first time of taking the
pills I began to notice their benefloial effect,
and I found myself gradually and rapidly
overcoming the varied physical weakneseee
that seemed to have fastened upon me; my
white Hps were restored to their normal
tinge, I regained oolor in myfooe, and an for
the heart trouble I may say that it has completely
vanished, and I oan now go up and
Sown stairs without any palpitation whatever.
Heretofore I *?ad black specks before
my eyes and a tendency to disaineee, but
bow my head is clear and my vision is unimpaired.
"I shall oontinue to use the Pink Pills,"
laid Mrs. Conway, "and to recommend them
to my friends. I have fonad them to do

only relieved me of the partionlar trouble
