As the party drew up In the open uie
Willie Treliallon saiuteu tnem wuu a uu
shrill mocking laugh, which had the doi
effect of making the rank and file turn haj
round as if preparing to bolt. But the l?'<
two officers dealt such hearty buffets j /
right and left with the flat of their i lor
swords that the fellows had evidently fee
thought that the danger of being run tlu
through by the fiery Don Miguel was 41
a more pressing one than that of being of
devoured by a mere stone serpent, lib
They stood their ground, therefore; tne no
five rquenusiers unslung their crutch- flu
es and blew their matches, the two W
bowmen fitted an arrow apiece, and 4
the rest crammed their bonnets well sn
flown over their foreheads and waited ^
for they knew not what. in<
"Come up, good senores all," croaked ,Qi
the serpent's grating voice, when Don
Miguel gave the word for ndvnnce. wj
"Come up and defile this holy court
and commit any iudignlty that pleases UM
you. Come and build your signal fires
on my wall and make my stones ring j1
with your Impious cursing. Ha, ha, ha! j"

I will not hinder while you work your r
wicked wills. Batter down these stones
and hurl them into the sea if you wish. rf

pause and the wild yell of laughter ^
were sufficiently suggest ive. '1(

"Master Topp," said the boatswain,
saluting with book and forehead, "your

my lips shall he drained to your health.

"No. It Is my plan and so my choice.

"Still, spare him. "lie's of more worth

I stopped." Great heavens.
It was of Inez's father that I was
speaking thus!
"Aye, afterward!" growled Willie.
Afterward, Master Topp! There'll l>e
a bitter reckoning when Captain Ireland
comes. You may lay your lost
tester on that. But in the meanwhile
I'll thrust as daintily as the don will
let me."
I picked my way down the windings
of the passage in the serpent's body
with the intention of (lading out wluit
the Spaniards were doing up above and

Sancho and a couple of others just

lie first of all suggested to the soldiers
that they should go first, but they
hung back j^nd seemed inclined to
argue the question. Now, the chasm
waa far too uncanny for tbe bandy legged
don to enter himself, so lie settled
uimiers uy sending ou out? or me men
for tbo superior officer, wlille ho himself
plucklly remained on guard with
the other;
Presently Don Miguel came and,
snapping out a few caustic words
about poltroonery, cowardice- and the
like, dropped,*" sword In hand, through
the opening and strode along the alley.
It would have been easy to run him
through as he pnssed had 1 been so
minded; but. hoping that Willie Trekallon
would take bliu nt his leisure and
with a reasonably whole skin, I lay
quiet and let him pass.
Ills followers trailed on leisurely
enough, and their leader must have
climbed the greater way up the stallbefore
I stabbed the tlrst of them. The
second played uie a couple of passes,
and by the time he rolled over Don
Sanclio, who came next, was in full
lllght down the passage. I sped after
him, but he was too quick for me and
sprang up among his fellows. The
whole crowd then made threatening
demonstrations against me, but uot a
hero of them would accept a civil Invitation
to mm" "" "* 11 uul
man to man.
It was just like a bear pit. I was the
bear at the bottom, who could not get
at the yapping hounds above without
being slain, while they did uot dare to
descend and bait me. And so, seeing
that one of them had unslung his arquebus
and was fixing its crutch and
blowing his mntcb for a shot, I left
them to amuse one another and went
to see how Willie Trehallou had fared
with Don Miguel.
Their struggle must have been a
short one, for when 1 came up to the
chamber in the snake's head 1 foun*1
the Spaniard lying ? ? * *" """
the snn?* ??urc of the boatswain
perched on his stomach. The victor had
a bare brown foot on each of bis enemy's
arms, while in his .only hand he
held, with significant intention, Don
Miguel's own jewel hilted misericordo.
It was a most refreshing sight.
"You bo back soon. Master Topp,"
said Willie without turning his head.
"We have just this very minute decided
who should sit uppermost."
At this the Spaniard drew back his
lips in an evil smile, showing two rows
of yellow teeth that protruded outward
like a calf's, and I thought his face the
most devilish and fearsome my eyes
had ever fallen upon. Then, as if suddenly
recollecting himself, lie closed his
mouth, smiled aud lay before us a pale,
perfect Apollo. The suddenness of the
change scut a cold shudder through
me?it smacked so much of magic. The
boatswain, too, w?? plainly not a little
disconcerted, for he set to work
scratching his bare, shining poll with
the hook, a sure sign that he was puzzled,
and presently, still without taking
his eye from the prisoner, he rap
ped out:
"Best kill him at once. Master Topp
for fear of accidents."
A dicker of fear passed quickly ove
the Spaniard's face at the words, bu
It was only a flicker, and in an lnstan
It waa gone.
"You hear, Don Miguel?" said 1
"Have you any plea to urge why w
should not kill you?"
"No," he said shortly; "no plea tba
you would consider adequate."
I knew of one which he might hav
urged with success, but as he evidem
ly did not at present recognise me i
was not the time to remind him c
Whitby and Vigo.
"Then, senor, you do not shrink froi

"Qulen sabe?"
"Would you promise us tmmnnll
from hurt If we set vou ftee?"
"No, I will not, for you would asoc
me If | did. And," he added fteroel;
"my word shall not be held up he tl
scorn of any one."
This reading of my thoughts and 1
tentlons took me back somewhat, b
after a moment's pause I asked If 1
t would give his word not to attempt
