CHAPTER XSAYV.

Hazet waited and listened. So did Helen, and her breath came fast; and in the stilly night she heard light but mysiert- ous sounds

nearer. Her heart began to leap, She put out her hand instinctively to cluteh Mr. Hazel, but he was too far off. She had the presence of mind and the self-denial to dis- guise her fears, for she knew he come headlong toAer assistance. She said, in a quivering whisper, ‘I’m not frightened; only y—very c—curious.’

Something was moving on the sand very slowly and softly, but nearer and |

} ; | before. She ate three good meals a day, and needed them; for she was up with the sun, and her hands and feet never idle till | he sat.

Four months on the island had done this. But four months had not shown those | straining eyes the white speck on the horiz- on: the sai! she looked and longed for.

Hazel often walked the island by him- self; not to explore, for he knew the place well by this time, but he went his rounds to see that all his signals were in working order.

He went to Mount Lookout one day with this view. It was about an hour before Long before he got to the mountain

matter of course; but not a speck. So, when he got there, he did not look seaward but just saw that his flagstaff was all right,

° ' And now she became conscious that not | and was about to turn away and go home, only one but several things were creeping |

adout

Presently the creeping ceased, and was followed by a louder and more mysterious In that silent night it sounded like

Dois raking and digging. Three or feur mys tericus visitants seemed to be making graves

This was t it did after talk about the primeval dead. Lier desire to scream was so strong, and she was so afraid Hazel would break his neck if she relieved her mind in that way, that she actually took her handkerchief and bit it hard.

But this situation was cut short by a beneficent luminary, The sun rcse with a magnificent bound—it was his way in that lattitude—and everything unpless- ant winced that moment; for the fog sbiver- ed in its turn, and appeared to open in fur- rows a8 great javelins of golden light shot through it from the swiftly rising orb. Those golden darts increased to streams of portable fire, that burst the fog and illam- inated the wet sands; and Helen burst out laughing like a chanticleer, for this first break of day reveeled the sextons that had scared her—three ponderous turtles, crawl- ing, slow and clumsy, back to sea. Hazel jomed her, and they soon found what these evil spirits of the Island had been at, poor wretches. They had each buried a dozen eges in the sand; one dozen of which were soon set boiling. At first, indeed, Helen objected that they had no shells, but Hazel told her that she might as well complain of a rose withouta thorn. He assured her turtles’ eggs were a known delicacy, and very superior to bird’s eggs; and so she found them; they were eaten with the keenest relish.

‘And now,’ said Helen, ‘for my discover- ies. First, here are my English leaves, only they are bigger. I found them on a large tree.’ :

‘English leaves!’ cried Hazel, with rap- ture. ‘Why, it is the caoutchonc!’

‘Oh, dear,’ said Helen, disappointed; ‘I took it for the India-rubber tree.’

‘It isthe India-rubber tree; and I havé been hunting for it all over the island in vain, and using wretchedly inferior gums for want of it.

‘Lam so glad,’ said Helen. ‘And nowl have something else to show you; some- thing that curdled my blood ; but I dare say | was very foolish.’ She then took him half across the sand and pointed out to him anumber of stones dotted over the sand in a sort of oval. These stones, streaked with sea grass, and incrusted with small shells, were not at equal distances, but yet, allowing for gaps, they formed a decided figure. Their outlines resembled a great fish, wanting the tail.

‘Can this be chance ?’ asked Helen; ‘oh, if it should be what I fear, and that is— savages |

Hazel, considered it attentively for a long time. ‘Too far at sea for living savages,’ said he. ‘And yet it cannot be chance. What on earth isit? It looks Druidical. But how can that be? The island was smaller when these were placed here than it is now.’ He went nearer and examined one of the stones; then he scraped away the sand from its base, and found it was not shaped like a stone, but more like a whale’s rib.. He became excited; went on his knees. and tore the sand up with his hands. Then he rose up ayitated, and traced the outline again. ‘Great Heaven?’ said he, ‘why, it is a ship.’

‘A ship”

‘Ay,’ said he, standing in the middie of it; ‘here, beneath our feet, lies ‘nian; with his work, and his treasures. This carcass has been here for many a long year; not so long, neither; she is too big for the 16th century, and yet she must have been sunk when the island was smaller. I take it to be a Spanish or Portugese ship; probably one of those treasure-ships our com modores, and chartered pirates, and the American buccaneers, used to chase about these seas. Here lie her bones, and the bones of her crew. Your question was soon answered. All that we can say has been said; can do has been done; can suffer has been suffered.’

hey were silent, and the sunk ship’s bones moved them strangely. In their deep isolation from the human race, even the presence of the dead brought humanity somehow nearer to them.

They walked thoughtfully away, and made across the sands for Telegraph Point.

Before they got home, Helen suggested that perhaps, if he were to dig in the ship, he might find something usefui.

He shock his head.

‘Impossible! the iron has all melted away like sugar long before this. Nothing can have survived but gold and silver, and they are not worth picking up, much less digging for; my time is too precious. No,

you have found two buried treasures to-day | —turtles’ eggs, and a ship, freighted, as [| think, with what men call the precious |

metals. Well, the eggs are gold, and the gold is a drug—there it will lie for me.”

Both discoveries bore fruits. The ship— Hazel nade a vow that never again should any poor ship lay her ribs on this island for want oi warning. He buoyed the reefs. He ran out to White Water Island, and wrote an earnest warning on the black reef, and this time he wrote with white on black He wrote a similar warning, with black on white, at the western extremity of God- eend Island.

The eggs: Haze). watched for the turtles at daybreak; turned one now and then; and fed Helen onthe meat or its eggs, morn, noon and night.

For sowe time she had been advancing in health and sjrength. But when the rains declined considerably, and she was all day in the air, she got the full benefit of the won- derful climate, and her health, appetite, and muscular vigor became truly astonishing ; especially, under what Hazel called the turtle cure; though, indeed, she was curetl

o much; especially coming as

when he happened to glance at the water ; and there, underneath him, he saw—a ship; standing toward the island.

EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. Z. ?. Wilds, well-known city missionary in New York, and brother of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes as followe:

“78 EB. 54th St., New York, May 16, 1882, Masses, J. C. AyYeR & Co., Gentlemen;

Last winter I was troubled with a most uncomfortable itehing humor more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night,and burned so intense. ly, that 1 eould scareely bear any clothing over them. 1 was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and oatarrhal cough; m appetite was poor, and my system a g deal run down. Knowing the value of AY&R’S SARSAPARILLA, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years t began taking it for the above-named disorders. My appetite im- proved almost from the first dose, After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. y catarrh and cough were also eured by the same means, and my genoral health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, and I attribute these resulte to the use of the SARSAPARILLA, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised. I took it in smal] doses threa times a dey, and used, in all, less than two bottles, I place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good.

Yours respectfully, Z. P. WiLps,”
