brow, ho sat down ou the bench outside
the kitchen door ami to pay for
his drink spun ine such wonderful
yarns cf hunting Islands on which
there lived magicians who sold winds,
of mermaids and sen serpents and other
marvels of the deep, all of which he
had himself seen hi his travels, that 1
hung upon his words and thought hiui
the greatest hero I had ever seen. And
afterward, whenever I met his squat,
square figure rolling down the street,
he always had a nod or a cheery "IIow
goes It, my young master?" for me, a
piece of condescension which gave ine
more pleasure than did the most extravagant
praise from the schoolmaster
or any other of my lawful teachers.
That my estimate of Willie's qualities
was not altogether accurate was
proved by the manner of his leavincr
Whitby. ~
One night, In a frolicsome mood, eur
gendered, no doubt, by liquors more
) potent than the vicarage beer, he attempted
to break tlie constable's head,
and as next day he had to sit in the
stocks as a penalty for his joke he considered
that he had been insulted by
the inhabitants of Whitby, lie disappeared,
therefore, from the towu, and,
though 1 did not sec him agnin for
nearly eight years, I remembered his
stories, but the man himself became a
mere hazy phantom in my mind until
| on the day after our adventure with
the alchemist I met him again.
About midday Don Miguel had called
at the vicarage and asked to see my
father. They were closeted together
for a long time, and, as I began to fear
that tills conjunction of the church
I with one of the devil's own favorites
boded ill for my comfort presently, 1
told Alec.
"Well," said lie, "what can we do?
We shall Just have to take our punishment."
"Yes, I suppose so," said I, "but If
I've to he punished 1 don't see why I
shouldn't have some fun first, aud in
. any case it would be a shame to waste
a "inte imrt W,at flgbfleitnea.

* So we borrowed a boat and a net and,
set up the river at the second hour of,
' the flood. We had just grounded our
* hont on the hank near the high bluff,
Z where the stream turns off to the north,
and were busy making fast one end
of our net on the shore when we non
ticed that a stranger had taken up hls|
p quarters on the opposite hank,
j He was a short, dark, sturdy man It.
the dress of a sailor. He wore loose
knee breeches, with a short canvas
smock over them; coarse blue worsted
stockings, and shoes latched with brass
' buckles. Itound I1I3 waist was a broad
t leather belt, into which was stuck a
bone handled sheath knife; on his upper
spars was a huge brown, wide
sleeved, wide skirted coat, with the
tails looped up to be out of the way,
and on his head was a cap of brown
al skin. He was staudlug in a 20 foot
I boat, which he had fitted with a house
of canvas and wood, and was finishing
his work by giving It all a generous
coat of tar.
The llgure seemed somehow familiar
to me, and when I saw that the tar pot
jjj hung from a hook which had been sub!.\
stituted for a right hand the feeling
'4 that I ought to know the man grew
u stronger. Suddenly he broke out Into
a song, accompanying himself by beating
a tattoo with the tur brush on the
' top of the cabin. The song was one I
n frequently had heard Willie Trehalion
bawl through the Whitby streets years
"l ago:
se ? .,
. , Sail away,
*y Hack away,
tie blunder! [Rap with tar brush.]
q] Scatter all the money like a man.
Come hack,
Nothing lack,
t'8 Thunder! [Rap.)
<(] Gather all the valuables you can.
This one verse was solo and chorus
st. both, and to begin singing the song
was very much like starting to roll a
big stone down hill?It was easy to
lD start, but almost Impossible to stop till
on the voice, like the slope, was exhausted.
, i "Willie Trehnllon, ahoy!" I cried, and
ne the singer turned round to see who was
or calling.
ier lie had not altered one jot since 1
saw him last. Ills face was browned
, a by the sun, wrinkled by the winds and
)or purpled by strong liquors, and, as this
at richness of coloring was In strong connit
trast to the rest of his head, which, rnderneath
tho protecting otter skin cap,
? was as round and smooth as an Ivory
ball, the effect of the whole was digot,
tlnctly striking. Add to this backIon

We pulled across to him, shooting the
salmon net as we went.
"How goes it, Willie?" I cried. "Don't
you remember me?"
"Master Topp, I warrant me! G rowed
to a stout lad since .1 seed thee last,
master, but the same face as Willie I
Trelialiou left eight years ago last gull
egg season. It'll be scraped with a razor
afore long, trust me. And who bo
this?
"My sworn shipmate, Willie."
"Sarvico to you. master. And his
name, if I may be so bold?"
"Alexander Ireland," 1 said. "Came
to Whitby since you left."
Willie started when I told him the
name, and I saw his solitary eye scansee
something faiiil?i?ii'ftA"?,fijfpected to
"Any manner o' kin to Captain Harry
Ireland, what was lost on the Spanish
main?"
"Son," said Alec.
"Put It there!" cried the sailor, moistening
his leathern list and holding it
out for Alec to grasp. "Put it there, if
a young gentleman like you ain't too
proud! I sailed under your father,
lad."
"Sailed with my father!" exclaimed
Alec excitedly. "Then you can tell me
about him."
"That I can. I sailed with lilm to
the Barbary coast an back just afore
he left Loudon river for the Spanish
main. It was a r'val vovnee we made
an good for him If he'd been content
with what was brought homo then.
But lie was always a venturesome
man, was Cap'n Ireland, an his search
for Manoa proved to be his last voyage,
poor body!"
"Tell me about it," said Alec eagerly.
And I could see that his face was tluslied
with excitement at the prospect of
hearing news of his father.
"We went out to the Barbary coast
with about ten peddler's packs o' beads
an gewgaws, along with some rlsted
nails an a few score o' barrel hoops, an
we came back with a cargo as a Jew
would sell his beard for a look at.
Such a cargo?gould dust an gouhl peas
an gould pebbles an ornaments o' gouhl
an a great gould kettle big enough to
stew a goat In, that Cap'n Ireland gave
to the queen's own majesty! I tell 'ee
there was gould enough to till this boat
o' mine three times over. Why. there
was a many o' us as selled the ragged
old clothes off our backs, let alone
what was stowed away In the chests
an some even would have traded tin
weapons o' the ship o' Captain Irelam
hadn't stopped them. Elephants' teetl
there was, some black with age ai
some still bloody from their moorings
an river horses' teeth an other thing!

blacks fell a-blubberlng because w<
had nothing more to sell him.
"A right swift pass we made o' 1
home, too?58 days out o' the Itarhar;

Thames mud. An when the merchant
came abonrd with their clerks an tli
news was spread ou shore the bell

"And afterward?" nsked Alec whei
