that There was, however, one thing, an
okly that no small one, over which Alec an
nark j very nearly quarreled. And whs
Jme.- should that lie if not a woman? For !
iling is woman's bright amila and coyl
drooping eye which shatter hitt th
rrtemtstitps nt man with man. even
when the longed for down lias hardly
yet appeared on the upper hp and the i
razor Is still a joy to be gloat* d over in
secret.
Inez was her name, and she was the
daughter of I>on Miguel, a Spanish '
gentleman who had for a reason which
I did not then know taken up his residence
In Whitby. 1 had known her
since she was a child of 10 and had
never thought of her more than of nny
other girl in Whitby until one day 4
ebanced to sec her in the street with n
new gown on. It was a wonderful
gown?the skirt of it was slashed and
puffed out to the size of a 40 gallon
cask?ami as i looked and marveled it
suddenly struck me that the laughing
face above it was the most bewitching
1 had ev : ei\?n. Perhaps it was
the fin0 dress that did it, and perhaps
it was the ptvtly mouth that smiled
and wisl'.e 1 r.:o a "g jo J day." I am not
quite sure which it was, but the next
time I met her in the lane near her
fatlu-r's house I asked her to be my
sweetheart. Alter a tew blushes and
a fev.- kisses she snld she would, and I
was the proudest lad in Whitby.
. Alec, however, was not pleased at
my success, and very soon he tcld me
so.
"Jack," he said, "I didn't think my
sworn shipmate would prove a traitor."
"A traitor!" I exclaimed. "It's a
hard word, and I don't know what 1
have done to deserve it. IIow am I a
traitor?"
"She is a Spaniard, Jack. The Spaniards
are the queen's enemies, and you
and I have said we meant to Oglit for
the queen."
"Inez Is no one's enemy."
"But her father, Don Miguel, Is a
Spaniard."
"Yes; I suppose he is. Is that all
you have to accuse him of?" I asked,
somewhat nettled at his persistence.
"Isn't it enough? I tell you that every
Spaniard Is an enemy to England
and Queen Bess, and since my father,
Captain Ilarry Ireland, was murdered
by the Spaniards every Spaniard Is an
UUL'Ui^ IU III*..
"And shall be to me, too," 1 said as 1
gripped his hand. "But I don't see
that the rule applies to the daughters."
"Spanish daughters become Spanish
mothers, Jnck."
"Not when they marry Englishmen."
"Do you mean to marry Inez, then?"
he said, looking at me earnestly.
"Yes; when 1 am old enough, If she
will have me."
"No fear of her refusing a stout Englishman!
Well, if that is so I will say
no more, although I admit I don't like
it"
But, although Alee agreed to let me
have my way, I could see that ho was
displeased at what I was doing, and
his displeasure at flrst angered and
then grieved me.
"Alec," I said to him one day. "I'm
going to see Inez tonight. Will you
~ "Do you really want me to go?"
"Yes, Alec, I do."
"Will her father be there?"
"No. We never see him in the evening."
I "Thon if vnn orn sum nf thflt. I will
go. But have you never guessed, Jack,
why It is that you never see Don
Miguel in the evening?"
"Because he is busy in his workshop."
"At what sort of work?"
"How should I know? I never asked
him."
"I will tell you. He is an alchemist."
"What?" I cried. "Are you sure of
that, Alec? Alchemy! Why, it's the
devil's own trade."
"So they say. But to me it seems
that if the devil had any flavor for the
work, alchemists would be richer than
they are. It's an ill trade, though, at
best and not the one I should choose
for my comrade's father-in-law."
This news of Alec's troubled rate, for,
though he declared that the devil could
have no share in such profitless toll,
I was the proudest lad in Whitby.
! yet I had always been told that evm;
) alchemist had sold h I nisei t' to satar
and 1 more than half believed it. S til
I I argued that Inez was not to be b'i?n
ed for her father's sins, and in the en
i Alee agreed with nie.
After that night I never had an
t uiore disagreement with him on tl
r subject of my lcvemaklug. Inez fair)
- laughed and sang herself into his poo
9 graces. - She had the sweetest vole e
- ever heard, and as she sat in a count
t by the fire and sang ua quaint lhtt
i sea songs that her nursfj, Ann Oan.*fl
1 had taught her I wondered whet hi
1 the mermaidens that the old sallora <
t the Angel spoke of were one-half i
I sweet and pretty as my own lit*1
9 Spanish sweetlieor t.
a "Why, Jack," s'jid Alec as we walks
II home from her bouse, "she Is hardly
8 Spaniard at a>.i, except for her blar
a hair and eyCj. No Whitby girl con)
8 have sung those English sen sonj
e with a prer tier accent thnn she did."
D "No Whitby girl could have mil
them ha/.f so well," I answered wari
? ly, "an/j, as for her being English, h
nurse, has seen to that. Dame Garr
hater, Spain almost as much as you t
and she won'tf allow Inez to speak
M wf,rd of Spanish in her hearing."
V "WaHn she's a sw?tsirtalu M
I'm glad ct It for your sake. It's a
i inly, though, that her father Is :i

was the? lust soug Inez hud sung to us
and 1 remember the chorus went like
this:
Then, ah. for the cru -1 creeping waves,
With their rlay cold lips of spray;
but. hi. for the merry duncim; waves
That with the sunbeams play!
"Take care. Alee!" I said, with u
laugh. "You'll be falling lu love wltl
Inez yourself."
"No. no, Jack; I like her, It Is true
but I'll never he a rival to my sworn
shipmate."
Nevertheless when 1 said "Gooc
night" to him and turned in at my fa
titer's gate I heard him go singing
down the road, and the words thai
caine floating up the breeze to tut
sounded suspiciously familiar. It seem
ed to ine that what he sang was:
Hi, for the merry dancing waves!
Ami the tune, at any rate, was tlu
same.
CHATTEIl II.
Before Aloe's arrival on the scone 1
grieve to say that besides being one oi
wu (luuwo in iiiu bciiuui i
was also, so the master said, the mos1
troublesome young scapegrace lie evei
had the misfortune to cane, lie toh
my father that he could uot. conscien
tlously take any blame to himself foi
my deplorable ignorance and doprav
ity, as he would warrant that there
was scarcely a square inch of my un
gainly carcass that his ferule or bird
broom had not scored. I was lunatelj
wicked, he declared, and my poor fa
tlier groaned and said ho feared the
schoolmaster was right.
There was really some justificatioi
for this belief of my father's, for al
my ten brothers (I was the youngest oi
11) were either doing well or givinj
promise of it, and I was the only om
who had ever given my worthy patents
the least trouble. The other!
were mostly parsons, or on the way t<
become parsons; so, as my father, too
was in the church, there was plenty o
piety in the family, but I am ver:
much afraid that the collective good
uess of all my relatives was more thai
balanced by my Individual depravity
I have heard my mother say?aud i
has never occurred to ine to doubt itthat
the first use I made of my leg
after I learned the art of loeoinotioi
was to walk straight into a scrape. I
is a habit I have not dropped with in
crease of years.
Now, however, I had for the firs
time a companion who, like myself, np
peared to be happiest when in trouble
and for the next two years Alec and
continued to live in a state of Intermil
rebellion with those in nuthm-itj

scuffle with his lordship's meu for snai
ing his lordship's grouse, now a braw
in a tavern and now, again, a threat o
severe punishment for scaring half tli
town with n turnip lantern on a dar
winter's uight. Once we went off fc
a whole week and lived like conic
among the hills, and on another occi
siou we hid ourselves in a ship's hoi
and sailed down to Scarboro in h<
and then tramped the whole way bac
over the moors on foot.
Adventures like these cemented 01
friendship and taught us to be quic
and ready in emergencies, but they di
not tend to increase our popularit
with those in authority, and to such r
extent did our ill repute spread tin
when anything went wrong or any e>
was committed of which the perpetr
tors were not at once discovered evei
finger pointed to Alexander Irelai
and John Topp as the culprits. An
truth to tell, these judicial digits d
' not often point askew.
' Alec, indeed, pursued his studi
with some amount of diligence; but
for me the perpetual war which
waged with the schoolmnster was f
too bitter to admit of my profiting
j Ids efforts to instruct me. 1 lncreas<
i therefore, in very little except statu
but in that I bid fair to be pre-emine
in Whitby.
My eventual sudden departure fr<
the town was caused by the unexpe
ed boiling over of a pan of water, a
this is how it came about:
I had gone to see my sweetnei
Inez, and Alec had, as usual, acco
panied me. He still took great pie
ure in the sea songs she used to s:
to us, and, besides, his presence wa

ways willing to converse with Da
Garrat and so divert her attent

P wish to speak of anything of an es
( daily private nature. We had a i

' could always let him know wliei
j wanted him to talk louder than usi
and, to tell the truth, our kuowledg*

a but, tliougli I tried to conceal my fears
I was horribly afraid that sonic unholy
1 sight would meet my eyes. From my
f cradle I have been taught that it is nlc
ways safest to shun the devil and lib
k works, and 1 believe it to be a tlior
,r oughly good rule.
'8 Don Miguel's laboratory was a fear
t" some place. There were rows upox
^ rows of retorts and llasks of varioui
ir quaint shapes, shelves with big, dusty
k learned looking books on them, case
of bottles containing tinctures of vnrl
ir oils colors, hotli dull and brlglit; char
'k coal furnaces, and steaming vats o
ld bubbling liquids. The floor was mark
ty ed out into arcs, circles, triangles am
in every sort of uncanny geometrical tig
Ul lire, and one corner of the room wn
" entirely tilled by u large blast furnaci
a* over which Don Miguel was leaning
ry Intently watching some substance tha
1(* was hissing and gurgling In an enrtl
enware crucible.
There was no light In the room e?
cept that which the glow of the fui
03 nacc gave, and as at each blast It burr
113 ed up brightly and shone for a monior
on the pale, eager face of the alchemi!
and then died away In a gloom agal
^ which by contrast was almost darl
' ness I thought I had never gazed upc
re' such an unholy scene.
As we watched we saw that a crl
leal point in the process had evident
>?1 been reached. The Spaniard was tret
" bling and muttering as he peered in
the crucible whenever the dragon
breath of the furnace gave him ligl
and, though we could not hear what 1
