W exceptions to the rule wo had hired

When they were gone, we turned ti
the lady for an explanation.
i "How can 1 thank you. gentlemen?'
ahe exclaimed.
1 "Speaks English 1" I muttered. "Am

"Madani!" she laughed. "You nee.
? not to be so ceremonious, Captain In

' Alec stared with astonishment, but
8 had recognized the voice.
? "Inez!" 1 cried in delight.
"Ah, you haven't forgotten in
though Alec Ireland has." she fen hi. an
n I saw that she was glad.
? "Forgotten you?" I cried. "No. IIo

"Apparently it has not been wort

ie "I never heard It."
"bid you ask?"
?" I was thrown Into confusion by h
:e | question and was at a loss for a repl

"Ah, then I forgive you!" she i
x" piled graciously. "But you must coi

don't promise that he will ue pleus

lv rescuers he Is bound to be polite."
,n "Don Miguel here, too?" I asked.
"Yes," replied Inez. "You don't st
pose I lived alone."
"No, but I thought perhaps tb(
vo was some one else," I sal4 sadly.
Jnez blush pi!'. ' ''Who else?" s
' askedin.
"Your husband!" I ventured.

"Do you know them?"
"I refused to marry one of them

"The scoundrel!" I cried savagely.
"1 wish I'd thrashed hint."
"Why. .lack?" she laughed. "He's
uot the only one who has asked me to
be his wife." M
"Coufound their Impudence!" I muttered.
"What?" she cried mischievously. "I
seem to have recollections of some one
else's impudence, too?at Whitby, for
instance. Dut 1 suppose you have forgotten."
"Inez," I replied solemnly, "you
didn't refuse me?at Whrltby?"
"Didn't I? Perhaps ft Is I who have
forgotten then, tint come, a truce to
this bautor. Aren't you going to see
me home?"
"Of coarse "we are," said Alec, "and
we shall In*'delighted to renew our aoqunltUnnrH*
with Hon Miguel, though
ouvTnrt meeting was rather a stormy
- one. If I remember rightly. IIow Is the
alchemy progressing?"
"Oh, ho has given that up I"

"Il'r.i." 1 sn hi. without thinking.
"That's an honest trade enough."
Inrr. laughed gnyly.
"And tlie other is not?" she asked.
"I should not have said that."
She looked at me for a niiuute, with a
teasing smile playing round her mouth.
Then she held out Iter hand to me.
"Yes, Jack," she said sweetly; "1 do
forgive you. You see, I am uot quite
sure that you were wrong."
And then she began to spcal; hurriedly
of other things.
Our reception by Don Miguel was not
a cordial one, but in view of our rela
tions with him in the past it was perhaps
hardly to be expected that he
would be overjoyed to see us again.
Our rescue of Inez from the hands of
the rufllans who were carrying her oil
gave us, however, a claim on his gratitude
aud an excuse for calling very
frequently to see how she was, and as
Inez encouraged our visits we took
every advantage of the opportunity
which chance had given us.
Inez and I had many long walks together
through the beautiful country
round Vigo Bay, and on those occasions
| Alec always insisted on inarching some
I 10 or 12 fathoms behind us, for my
sweetheart's beauty had won her many
admirers, who were naturally not inclined
to submit quietly to the success
of a heretical Englishman. 1 had found
favor where they had failed, and but
for Alec's precaution a vengeful dagger
between my ribs would in all probability
have been the reward of my wooing.
We saw very little of Don Miguel,
but I don't think either Alec or I felt
inclined to quarrel with him on that
score. I pressed my suit with his
daughter, however, and by the time
our ship was ready for sen I had won
her consent to marry me. I wanted to
do so at once, but the Spanish padres

Spaniard with a heretical Englishman,
and neither bribes nor threats would
more them. *
I had to aet off to sen, therefore,
without my bride. But we arranged
that I was to come hack at once to
Vigo Bay, when Inez promised to be
ready to sail back to England with
me. There we hoped the parsons would
not be so particular.
CHAPTER VI.
We returned to Vigo Bay in less than
four months and with us a large company
of other ships, all bearing grain,
, for which the failure of the Spanish
J, wheat crop promised a profitable market
We neither sold our cargo, how?
ever, nor did I succeed In carrying off
my sweetheart. And this Is how it
> happened:
Scarcely had we anchored when a
1 negro page came off to the ship in a
small boat, bringing me a note from
Inez.
v She was lp sore trouble through her
(, love for me, for Don Miguel had forv
bidden her to have anything more to
J, do with me and had locked her in her
room to make sure that his commands
were obe3*cd. And there was even
worse news than this In the letter. Orders,
she told mo. had been received
I from the court to seize all the English
shipping In the bay, to confiscate the
cargoes and to Imprison the crews. As
a enptive in the town dungeon I should
(j be farther from her than ever; but,
still a free man. I ml "lit some day re
vv turn and carry her off, and so by the
lD love I bore her she entreated me to be
gone at once.
[h Here was a pretty piece of news!
ty We questioned the page, but as he either
did not know or would know nothing
we sent him off ashore In his boat.
"What are we to do?" asked Alec.
"I'm going ashore," I replied decidedly.
"What for?"
w "To rescue Inez."
"Jack, It's useless. You would be ai,t>
rested long before you reached her."
"I moan to try all the same."
j "It'll be foolhardy, I tell you. Mucli
j better take the advice she gives you,
j'' escape now and come back again tc
carry her off."
"Alec, I can't go away and leave hei
In that scoupdrel'a jx\\ver? I mut gc

>re Alec shrugged his shoulders. "Weil
If you must, you must. I'll go witl
he you, of course, nud try to see you snfi
thrnncrh. but I oulte exuect we Bhal
both be looked up for our pains. W<
will spread the warning among tlx
other English ships on onr way."
We went on deck at once and begai
rn(1 to lower the boat. We were lying i
lPU good two miles farther out than tfr
other ships, so we had a stiff pull bo
nfj fore us.

were three other ships outside of us
