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. "and it will be very hot and wearisome, with nothing to do but pester old Prosody in ills after dinner sleep. Come on; let's do something else." "Right. What shall we do?" "Fish." "The very thing! Then I can take a I salmon as a present to Dame Garrat in the evening. She's apt to get sharp ' tnncriirwl If I rrn Inn nfton omnlv linnil ' ed to see Inez." * 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!

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.

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.
