CHAPTER X_ (Continned.)

“re rveda tnis lite Tor a montn. ing all that time the weather glorious, and we enjoyed it ed. The brig floated lazily aiong, whatever wind there was being mostly steady in the same quarter. Nor a sail nor a soul did we see, and I had but the haziest notion of our where- abouts. if Abram ben Aden was bet- ter informed, he kept his knowledge sedulously to himself. He seemed deed too intent on providing entertain- to give a thought either to our course or our destination. We told tales and sang songs, and ate and drank and fenced and studied, and all alone on a derelict, waterlogged ship ied the most delectable existence imagina- ble. My companion fairly adored me. He anticipated my wishes, spoke un- ceasingly of the unequalled deeds I had done, and more than once showed a strong disposition to fall down and worship me.

“TI have been a rover,” he would declare, with the unction of a man saying his prayers, ‘“‘ but may Azrael

seize me this moment if I speak not the truth in saving that never have my eves seen a man who matches you in bravery and good fortune. And you are but a youth,” he would add, in a most engeging tone.

This continued till I began to fancy T had enchanted the man, that he was verily my slave, and I had only to ex- ercise my magical power to bend ‘him to my will as compietely as the most docile and obedient genie in any Arabian tale of wonder. I dare say T plumed myself on my ascendancy, I dare say I put on airs, and I have no doubt whatever that Abram ben Aden, most adroit of courtiers, most subtle of flatterers, saw through me and took my measure with perfect accur- acy.

One evening in our fencing exercise I thought he gressed harder on me than ever before, and that his blade reng with unaccustomed sharpness, But the quickened movements only made mv blood run the faster, for by this time I was beth confident and dexterous. We went at it as much in earnest perhaps as any two men who ever crossed blades for amuse-

ment, and J remember the thrill caus- ed by the thought. What if he is try- irg to kill me? My opponent wus the first to cry halt. He was flushed and out of breath, and I fancied that under his everlasting smile there was a feeling of vexation.

“By the right arm of the you are a gallant swordsma cried, recovering his breath. eye is the sun and your stroke a flash of lightning. I world not fight you for ten shiploads of gold. The man who fights you puts his life your sword point. As a jest you have taken

IT slept soundly that night, and was late in a‘vekening next morning. On reaching the cabin I found that Abram ben Aden had not yet risen, and thinking to surprise him, J crept to bis door.

SETTLING ACCOUNTS.

Here was an unexpected turn of the wheel of fortune, a new mystery rack the mind or give an added relish to life, just as you might chance to look at it. [I was not at all sorry to find my companion gone, nor in truth greatly surprised, but his «cd: snight portend more than it was pleas- ant to speculate on

I knew my man well enough to un- derstand at once that he had not left me upon any trivial motive nor to ao ecod by stealth. Too much of a

present evil than a lurking enemy. With your eye on the foe you can de- fend yourself, but when he may spring uron you like a tiger in the jungle at any motment from anv quarter, back, front, side or oblique angele, why, the fezr is apt to fret the ner- vous. And indeed the legions of black thcughts came trooping back upon me with such disquieting effect that, un- Christian as it may sound. I would

have given much to be able to run Abram ben Aden through with my sword, and there and then make an end of him. gut, as it was, I could

conjecture, and conjecturinge on a matter of life and death is positive- Ty the most unsatisfactory exercise in which the human mind can engage.

You may be kept a sharp Icokout that day, remaining constant- ly uncer my awning, save when I ran below to douse my head, which had a feverish tendency, or swallow a mouth- ful of food or drink. 3ut the day passed, and no boat or other object hove in sight. I saw neither land- mark nor watermark, nor even so much as the flash of a seabird’s wing—noth- ing but the dreary, blinding glitter of the eternal ocean plain.

The darkness came, came at a stride, as Mr. Coleridge savs, for in thé tropics there is no twilight, but a leap from light to darkness as if the night were lying in wait and pounced upon the world as upon long expected

sure I

prey. The stars came out, like points of lambient flame in a fleckless, gray blue sky, and by and by the moon

rose with a sense of sovereignty, @ majesty and magnificence never equal- ed on land. Higher and higher she mounted, her white, unveiled radiance nearly obliterating the stars in her path, and she smote with almost as crue! a stroke as the sun. There is a promise to the righteous that the sun shali not smite them by day nor the moon by night. The smiting of the sun dwellers in a temperate clime may partly understand, but the smit- ing of the moon never. You must go

to the Bast and experience her addling, withering blight to comprehend the fact that a hard Arabian moon w&l

drive a strong man stark mad in a single night if he lie unprotected from her light. Even with me under my covering she seemed to be sucking at my vitals. .

Weary with watching, and, to say the truth, more than a trifle worried, I fed my rats and went to bed. I lay long awake in spite of fatigue, and the rcothing lullaby of lapping waters. At length I began to doze, frequently starting up, however, with a vivid impression of hearing Abram ben Aden calling mv name. Rising on my el- bow 1 would hearken, panting with ex- citement. But the great silence be- ing unbroken, save by the low. swceet- ly blended voices of wind and water, I would lie down again—to be honest, with something of the nervous shiv- ering of a frightened child.

Once I was constrained to get up and ‘look out, first on one side, then cn the other. But the deep serenity of nature was undisturbed. The moon shone resplendently, and the sea, gent- ly crisped by the breeze, sparkled like

| fretted silver or glowed with phoz- phorescent fire. The night wind, soft and warm and odorous, caressed my face and head with a wooing mur- mur that would have been delicious had © heen ir a frame of mind to en-
