"And where on t'nrth have you been,
young man?' he asked, laughing. "Did
Tobias kidnap you too?"
It was very hard, as you will have
seen, to astonish the "king."
But, though It was hard to astonish
and almost Impossible to alarm him,
his sense of wonder was quite another
matter, and the boyish delight with
which he listened to our several
stories would have made it worth
while to undergo tenfold the perils we
had faced. Our stories, said the
"king," were quite in the manner of
"The Arabian Nights." dovetailing one
into the other.
"And now," he added, "we will be-
gin with the 'Story of the Murdered'
Slave and the Stolen Lady.'"
Calypso told her story simply and
In a few words, The first- part of it,
of which the poor murdered Samson
had been the eloquent witness, need-
ed no further telling. He had done
his brave best—poor fellow—but To -
blas had had six men with him, and It
was soon over. Her they had gagged
and bound and carried in a sort of im-
provised sedan chair; Tobias had done
the thing with a certain style and—
abe had to admit—with absolute cour-
teey. s
When they had gone a mile or two
from the house, he had had the gag
taken from her mouth, and, on her
promise not to attempt to escape
(which was, of course„ quite Impos-
sible) he had also had her unbound,
so that her hurried journey through
the woods was made as comfortable as
possible.
They were making, she had gathered
— and as we had surmised—for the
northern shore, and, after about a
three hours march, she heard the
sound of the sea. On the schooner she
had found a cabin all nicely prepared
for her—even dainty toilet necessaries
— and an excellent dinner was served,
on some quite pretty china, to her
alone. Poor Tobias had seemed bent
on showing—as he had said to Tom—
that he was not the "carries." we had
thought him.
After dinner, Tobias hnd respectful-
ly asked leave for a few words with
her. He had apologized for his action,
but explained that It was necessary—
the only way he had left, he said, of
protecting his own interests, and slate -
guarding a treasure which belonged to
him and no one else, if It belonged to
any living man. It had seemed to her
that it was a monomania with him.

While he has Dean talking, ane nae
made up her mind what she would do.
She would tell him the plain truth
about her doubloons, and offer him
what 'remained of them as a ransom.
This she did, and was able at last halt
to persuade him that, so far as any-

there was, and then the digging among
the ruins of the old house was a mere
fancy of her father's. There might be
something there or not—and she went
so far as to give her word of honor
that, if anything was found, he should
have his share of It.
Tobias had seemed impressed, and
promised his answer In the morning,
leaving her to sleep—with a sentry at
her cabin door. She had slept soundly,
and awakened only at (lawn. As soon
ns she was up, robins had come to
her, saying that he had accepted her.
offer, and asking her to direct him to
her treasure.
This she had done, and, to avoid pass-
ing the settlement, they had taken the
course round the eastern end of the
island. As they had approached the
cave (and here Calypso turned a quiz-
zical smile on me, which no one, of
course, understood but ourselves), a
sloop was seen approaching them from
the westward , . , and here she
stopped and turned to Charlie Web-

POSTSCRIPT.
Now, such readers as have been
"gentle" enough to follow me so far In
my story, may possibly desire to be
told what lay behind those other
locked doors in the underground gal-
lery where 1 so nearly laid my bones.
Those caverns, we afterward dis-
covered, did actually communicate
with Blackbeard's ruined mansion, and
the "king," who has now rebuilt that
mansion and lives In it in semlfeudal
state with Calypso and me, is able to
pass from one to the other by under-
ground passages which are en unfail-
ing source of romantic satisfaction to
his dear, absurd soul.
As to whether or not the mansion
and the treasure were actually Black-
beard's—that is, Edward 'reach's—we
are yet in doubt, though we prefer to
believe that they were. At all events,
we never found any evidence to con-
nect them at all with Henry P. Tablas,
whose second treasure, we have every
reason to think, still remains undis-
covered.
As for the sinister and ill-fated
Henry P. Tobias, Jr., we have since
learned—through Charlie Webster,
who every now and again drops in
with sailors from his sloop and carries
off the "king" for duck hunting—that
his real name was quite different; he
must have assumed, as a nom de
guerre. the name we knew him by, to
give color to his claim. 1 t-ui afraid,
therefore, that he was a plain scoun-
drel, after all, though it seemed to me
that I saw gleams In him of something
better, and I shall always feel a sort
of kindness toward him for the saving
grace of gallant courtesy with which
he invested itis abduction of Calypso.
Calypso , . - She and I, just for
fun, sometimes drop into Sweeney's
store, and, when she has made her
purchases, she draws up from her
bosom a little bag, and, looking softly
at me, lays down on the counter—a
golden doubloon; and Sweeney—who,
doubtless, thinks us all a little crazy—
smiles indulgently on our make-be-
lieve.
Sometimes, on our way home, we
come upon Tom in the plantations, su-
perintending a gang of the "king's"
janissarles—among whom Erebus Is
still the blackest—for Tom is now the
lord high steward of our estate. He
beams on us in a fatherly way, and 1
lay my hand significantly on my left
side—to his huge delight. He flashes
his white teeth and wags his head
from side to side with Inarticulate en-
joyment of the allusion. For who
knows? He may be right. In so mys-
terious a world the smallest cause may
lead up to the most august results and
there Is nothing too wonderful to hap-
pen. •

CHAPTER 1.
Midst the. Hills of Judea.
?1111 setting sun, disappearing
over the western hills toward
the distant Mediterranean, cast
lengthening shadows from the
great ng tree which sheltered the arch-
way in the garden wall. Par off in
the distauce a single trumpet sounded,
faint and indistinct. A nearer trumpet
echoed and re-echoed the sound. A
shepherd hidden in a nearby valley
took up the silvery notes upon his own
instrument and sounded the tidings i
that the day was o'er.
Upon the silken canopied roof of the
house of Jesse, of the tribe of Judea,
a maiden sat embroidering a girdle.
She was fair and slender, with brown-
ish hair, which bung in two long braids
across her shoulders. But, while she
plied -her needle industriously and
seemed devoted to her task, she ever
and anon shaded her eyes to gaze wist-
fully out over the borizou. Fur in the
distance the sheep were peacefully
grazing upon the hillside. even now be-
ing herded together by the watchful
shepherds and their dogs in prepara-
tion for the coming of the night. To
the east and to the west the maiden
cast her eyes In vaiu, for what she
saw satisfied her not. To the north
lay Hebron, the ancient city where the
great King David had first reigned,
and beyond that—somewhere to the
north, so the maiden had beard—was a
great and wondrous city of beautiful
buildings, great palutes, rich caravans
and fashionably dressed folk—Jerusa-
lem. But of all this the maiden knew
naught and had no desire to leers.
With a sigh she resumed her work
upon the girdle.
Inside the house of Jesse all was ex-
citement, 101' the morrow was the
hallowed day when ooue might labor
in the fields. The trumpets called the
men from the fields and the women
from their labors to prepare for the
evening mail which should precede the
approaching festival. In the courtyard
by the well the faithful Risuh, she
who had been in service as handmaid-
en to Iiuldah, wife of Jesse, these
many year's, gathered up the clean lin.
en which had been washed by two
girls kneading the garments with their
clean bare feet in a hough of wu'er.
Nearer the house the w011101 grinding
coni between two large flat stones had
already ceased their labors and were
gathering up the grata.
A trumpet blew again—nearer. A
shepherd was bringing in part of his
flock. 17ngerly the girl, watching from
the roof, run down the great flight of
stdne steps which led to the courtyard
and approached the newcomer,
"Shelnh," cried the girl anxiously.
"Nast thou seen Jether?"
The shepherd, an aged man with a
young lamb snuggled tenderly in his
arms, shook his head sadly,
"Nay, Mistress Naomi," responded
Shebat, laying the lambkin upon the
grass by the well and signifying that
Rissah should wash its hurt "Nay,

The tth'l crusted her hands together
nervously.

"But what of ,tether?" she inquired
tensely, "Can he be ill or sick?'
"He should nut have left the flock
untended," said Sholah sternly. "Nay,
he was not 111."
"But can alight bade happened to
him? Oh, Shelab, last night 1 dreamed
he was in fearful peril, but of what 1

sob which she vainly sought to sup•
press, seated herself on the stone edge
of the well and watched Bissell as she
bound up the broken leg of the lamb.

Shelab ehnckled significantly.
"Have no fear, good mistress Nao-
mi." he commented wisely. "Ells
worst danger lies In h1s father's
wrath,"
"What meanest thou?" cried Naomi
quickly.
"On the road hither I met Ozen of
Hebron, he who keeps au inn there,
and Ozen told me ,lecher was there all

the elderly shepherd, pleased with his

ly and touched his arm.
"Sbelah," she said softly, so that
none might hear, "thou wilt not say
aught to mine uncle against Jether':"
The shepherd lifted his baud as if
in protest.
"Nay, he did great wrong to leave
the flock alone while be drank through
the night with Tole and his friends."
he answered. "For a young man like
Master Jether to neglect home, his
flock, his duties to his father and to
his elder brother, Coal, who some day
will be master here, is not right, 1

impetuous, bot he should fear the
wrath of his father if he eontiuues in

The girl glanced about her nervously

The stolid shepherd shook his bead
sternly. A trumpet blew In the dis-
tance.
"Do not the trumpets sound on every
bill? Do they not bid till cease from
toil and hasten home to cleanse them-
selves before they partake of the holy
meal? Listen! Do not the trumpets
sound in Hebron? If Master Miter
wills to come he'll come. Nay, nay,
good mistress Naomi, I cannot speak
to Jether louder with mtue own voice
than can these trumpets which sound
from every hillside. Give me the lamb-

The shepherd tenderly took the lamb
in his arms and, followed by the dogs.
which had hung about his heels joy-
ously,
oyBusty, went into the sheepfold. Rissah
put her arms tenderly about the young
girl and sought to comfort her.
"Were it not best that T should leave
water in Master Jether's room and
lay out fresh garments for him?" she
inquired, "He may come with little
time to spam"
"Oh, yes, Rissah! But what it he
should not come?" replied Naomi, tear-
fully, "Suppose that he should not
come? There are many wolves in
these hills of Judea, and once I know
that Jether killed a lion on foot, with
but a knife as his only weapon. Sup-
pose that last night when he failed to
watch the sheep some evil mayhap be-
fell bin? Oh, Rissah, 1 shudder when
I think that Jether may never return
to us!"
The elder woman smiled reassuring
ly and caressed the young girl.
"I know thy ser'ret. Mistress Nao-
mi," she whispered. "Nay, do not
start in surprise. Jether is a tine lad,
beloved of the entire countryside, and
not a maiden of Hebron but would be
honored to have her hand sought in
marriage by the younger sou of Jesse.
And thou art a beautiful girl, who
must win the love of all who know
thee. Yet one thing doth trouble me
much, Mistress Naomi,'
The girl half dried her tears and
turned curiously.
"What dost thou mean?"
The aged servant hesitated, as if
fearing to speak.
"Say on. Rissah. What hast thou In

Naomi sprang to her feet iudig-
