THE MANIAC’S SEGRET, Privateer of Sei STO Bay.

A STORY OF THE REVOLUTION.

BY SYLVANUS COBB, JR.

CHAPTER XV. AN UNPLEASANT RECOGNITION.

Rolin Lincoln's first object, after baving seen the ship aud her cargo disposed of, was to make enquiries after Belinda, and to this he was not able to devote much time until some two weeks had passed away, for he had much to attend to. The cargo of the prize much of it had been sold to merchants around Piymouth, and the ship itself was sold to a company from Salem for eight thousand pounds. The prisoners had been confined in the old jail, but on the fourth night of their | confinement they broke out and made their jescape. They were followed as far as Cobaeset, but here they had seized upom a large boat having firet destroyed two others which were near by, and thus they made good their escape. Of course the news of the capture of the store-ship spread rapidly, and caused intense excitement i: all quarters

| British soldiers, aod he thought, two or thres jSailors. The reet of the company seemed to composed of artisans and common people— all in good fellowship as far as outward ap- pearance was concerned, though the youth thought he could detect some meaniag glances given the soldiers which did not be- tray the best feeling.

‘Can any one inform me where Mr. Slip- ton can be found?’ he asked, nos finding avy one behind the bar. But just as he spoke a man enterod from e back reom, and assumed the publican’s place. He was an elderly man, and evidently a Scotchman.

* What is it, man?’ he asked, simply bear- ing the last part of Roiin’s question.

‘I asked if any one could tell me where —_ Slipton could be found?’ explained our

ero.

By this time all eyes were tarned upon the new-comer.

* Din’ ye find ’im in his shop?’

* No, sir, his door is locked.’

‘Then I diona ken at all where's he gang.’

‘Can you teil me where he lives?’ asked Rolin.

‘ Q,’ returned the host, * yere not acquaint wi’’um. He lives i’ the rooms over his shop. He may be gang awa the while. Wait a bit, an’ tak’ @ stoop 0’ sumpthin’ warm, an’ he may coom back.’

Rolin knew of no better place to go to and as this was close by the place where he wish-

The patriots were now more anxious than ever that commissions should be at once) given to all who would veature into the/ naval service, while the tories made loud | wailings concerning the piraticatendency of | the rebels. These latter were horrified at the | atrocious crime, and promised all their aid | interest in bringing the offenders to justice, |

It was some time ere Rolin could learn anything definite of Belinda, but at length, about three weeks after his arrival in port, | he met the captain of a coaster, who inform- ed him that he had seen Belinda Clyne only | a week before walking in the street, in Boston, with Major Fitzgerald. Rolin made himself sure that the man was not mistaken, | and then he resolved to go to Boston once | more, and this time find the maiden at ali | bazards. lied to him before, but he meant to tuke some other meacs now besides applying to the | officer.

Matthew Clyne would have dissuaded the | youth from going to Boston again, lor be| knew there was much danger.

* Speak not of danger,’ eaid Rolin.

‘With

|such an object before me, danger is but ore | our hero, showing bis disiike to being thus

of the necessary obstacles. Were there no danger, why, then any child might go. I|

come tu us if she could, and if such is the | case, shall I remain bere and let her live on! in suffering, just because there happens to be | danger in the way? When you gave me} that noble girl to love, did I nut swear to love and protect her always? Ay, Muithew, I did ; and now I'll do 1t.’

‘Noble boy,’ cried the old man, grasping | the youth by the hand ‘God biess you for | yeur goodness I did not mean that you should sacrifice muck to such fear, but but—’ |

* But you fancied that I was going to do; this for you,’ suggested Rolin, as the captain hesitated.

‘Yes, Rolin, you are right. I did not at first stop to realize how wuch you had at stake. I rather felt as though "twere my daty to go on this mission. Butif you will go—then go—and may God protect you,

‘I shall disguise myself,’ said Rolin. ‘1 shall not venture myself in Boston without ' being pretty thoroughly covered up. I'll

Hie knew now that the major had |

ed most to stop, he concluded to wait until Slipton made his appearance. So he called for a cup of wine, aod was just upon the point of sitting down, when one of the men who had been regarding him very closely since he came in, aud who was habited in the garb of a sailor, arose and stepped towards bim

‘ Look’e, stranger, hayen’t we met some- where before?’ the man asked, coming close up and looking him closely in the face.

‘Why—really— uttered Rolin, taken some- what by surprise, ‘I know not that 1 ever saw you before.’

The fellow exchanged significant glances | with the companions whom he kad leit, aud | then turned to Rolin again.

‘I’m sure we've met before,’ he persisted. ‘You'll pardon me, but I do love to overhaul old mates. _Ha’n’t you been to sea?’

‘1 used to follow the sea once,’ replied Rolin, at a loss to understand what the fellow was after, though he thougit this might be a man who had once sailed with bim.

‘ How long since you sailed?’ pursued he.

* May I ask what all this means?’ returned

‘ But you'll allow one to hunt ap an old friend, wont ye ?’

‘You may bunt up és many as yon please, so you don’t try your search upon me any more.’

The fellow did not wince at all at this, but he looked at his companions again with a very peculiar jook, as much as to say, - Now, watch him,’ and then be turned once more to Rvulin, and in a tone full of peculiar meaning, he said :

Te old man tried to shut his eyes, but he couldn't He bad to take one peep at the patriot ; though, as he afterwards told hig ‘ gude wife,’ ‘"twasn't a fair sight. I didn’s see ’im,’

In the meantime, the stout guide had en- tered @ narrow alley which ran back towards Bratsle’s street,and haviog reached very near to the end he stopped at a door whith was reached ty ascending a short flight of steps. He opened it without ceremony, and passed in and having gained tho hall he led the way up the front etairs to asmall bed where he stopped and faced his follower,

CHAPTER XVL

When Belinda came to herself all about her. She felt a dul! pain in rien and @ sensation of lameness in her limbs. She reflected upon what bad occurred, and it was sometime ere she could fully compre- hend the events last fixed in her experience She remembered leaving her new home with her new-found father, of walking upon the Commen-—of then keeping on toan out-of the-way house, where her her alone. Then she romemicegd of enieae ing for some means of egress from the house —~of meeting with the old bug, and of the encoanter which followed. She hed a faing a Ad being hart, but whe could not tel! how, though she had done it. ’ ons Open She soma _ This train of reflection brought one = ? & clearer siate, and 0 wonder where she was. She iscover+ ed that sho was apon a bed, poreet an least ray of light came to relieve the utter darke ness. At length she carefully arose from the bed and stood upon the floor. She found thas her clothes had none of them been remov not even her shoes, only her dress had been ‘oosened about the waist, anda wet oloth laid upon her bead. When she first found herself upon her feet she felt very weak and dizzy ; but gradually her strength came to ber, and her head grew more calm, thou there wae still much pain there. Awhile groped around in the utter darkness, and by- and-by she found a door. She opened it, and her heart gave a quick bound as the sar. beams greeted her vision. But the hope was not to become fixed, for, by the dim Starlight she s20n Ciscovered that she was in the

‘ Look’e, sir — wa'n’t ye ever aboard the storeship Dunstable ?’ In an instant Rolin reeogniz:d the fellow as one of the prisoners who had eecaped from Plymouth, and who hed been taken on board the privateer’s first prize. In the ex- citement of the moment the youth forgot everything that could favor him. He forgot his disguise, and that be might, by boldly denying all knowledge of any such ship,nave escaped.

* Of course, you will not eail until I re- turn ?’

*No. Iam in hopes to have a commission before I sail again.’

On the following day Rolin Lincoln was ready tu set out. He was habited in a suit of plain citizen’s clothes, and from an old man in Plymouth who had once been a play- actor, he obtained a red wig, with a pair of stout whiskers to match. The hair was care- fully powdered and curled, and it altered his appearance so much that even Matthew Clyne hardly knew him at first sight. In this guise he set out on foot.®He reached the peninsula of Hull towards the middle of the afternoon, and there he met a boatman who azreed to carry him up to Boston foracrown

He was allowed to puss on, and about four o’cluck he Janded at Long Woarf, paid the boatman, took biz small portmantesu, and made his way up in- to the town He was anxious concerning Belinda, but be dered not at once go to Major Fitzgerald's house, for be knew that be should ron a dangerous risk of having his power to kelp the maiden unceremoniously takea from bim. He concluded that his safest course wovld be, to find some trust- worthy person to work for him — some one who would be willing to help bim—who would go to the major’s, and who would have wit enough to work without ‘ showing his hand.’

In order to carry out this design the youth determined to seek help from. the ow'y man in Boston with whom he was acquainted, and whom he knew he could trust. That man was the patri:t asent of whom we have be- fore spoken,and who kept a store on Hanover Street. So thitherward Rolin bent his steps. He entered Hanover Street from Queen Street and having proceeded down as far as Wing’s Lare, he came to @ shop upon the sign of which appeared—‘ George Supron, Gro- ceries and other goods.’ Bat the door was locked. The vouth looked about some mo ments, but “he could see wo signe of any one in the store. He knew not where Slipton lived, so he looked about for some place to enquire.

As Rolin ceased speaking the fellow whom he had kuocked down got upon his fest again, and, boiling over with rage, he gasp- ed:

‘There’s a thousand pounds reward for one of the leaders of them pirates. At him suidiers, and take him at once!’

Upon this four soldiers arose to their feet, and drew their short swords, They then ad vanced a few steps, and Kolin was upon the point of making another threat. when he de'ected @ movement which kept him quiet. Half-a-dozem of the stout artizans had arisen, and four of sham had seized the stout stools; and almost simultaneously the four stools descended upon the four heads of the four soldiers, and their four bodies were prostrate upon the floor.

But the scene ended not here. Five more Englishmen—three of them satlors and two soldiers—sprang forward upon the artizans with drawn weapons. Rolin saw it, and he felt it to he his duty now to mix in the affray. The host shut and barred bis door at this juncture, and as he did su the youth detected a stout, oaken or hickory s.atf which had stood bebind the door. He immediately put up one of his pistols and seized it. It wasa noble cudgel, and with it raised above his head he sprang forward. At its first sweep one of the soldiers fell, and on another instant jt had performed the same office for asailor. In the meantime the others had not been idle, and now there was but one party upon sherr feet,

‘ Here—quick ! my noble master,’ utiered a stout, bold-faced mechanic, catching Rolin by the sleeve. ‘ You'll not be eafe here at ail. Follow me. There ll be more of the infernal villians poking along soon. [ll show you the way. Uoma, you aren’t afeared of me.’

The youth had seen enough of this man t> knew that he might trust him without fear, and he followed him without speaking a word.

The noble tellow led the way out through the same door by which Rolin had seen the

Yet all of life that hada tingle warm, generous thought,was connected with Matthew Clyne ; but that good, noble man was not her /ather, for he bad eo admitted, But was Barton FitzGerald ber father ? This question case to her mind with whelme img force. Im outward argument be had proven his fathership, but re was within the bosom of the doomed girl a voice that cone tinually whispered @ negative to the idea. He was not what Matthew Clyne had been.
