The major s speech gradually failed him: The toddv had been made rather strong, eyon for strong men, and the major bad drank very free'y of it. For some time he seemed endeavoring to find out where the pitcher etord but hefore he could concentrate his confused vision his head dropped forward and hit the table This gave him a start, and ashe attempted to dscover who had sirock him he lost bie halance, and would have fallen heavily to the floor bad not Den- ton canght him and ea-ed him down.

‘No; and I thought I wouldnt to-night. Sh- wil be more composed to-morrow.’

CHAPTER IX.

When Rolin Lincoln reached the dwelling ;| f J nas Danton, he hesitated awhile, to calewlate upon what plan he had better ;| pursue o-xt. He knew it would be of no use to ask to eee Belinda, for oi course he would be refased and there was but one other way, and that was to hunt her up if be eould. So he norseless y entered the yurd ind passed around to the back aide of the house noticin the wind ws caretally as he went. Hesaw alight in one of the lower back rooms, but that was evidently the kitchen He passed arouad by the back yard, and next came to the garden, which was en ajoaed by a thicket fence He found the gate which opened to it, and by this he passed it, On looking up on tis side of the house he eaw another lighted window directly over the poreh which guarded the entrance to the house from the garden, but to which there was no path. This window was g arded by a curtain, upon which Rolin plainly saw the shadow of a human form - of the head and ishoulders !t was surely a emale head, and was bow: d, for he soon di-covered what ap

Now he knew twasa femaie He waited a moment more and when he saw tha: she et: 1 stuod in a Jistening atitude, he repeaied the signal At this the curtain was raid, anisvme one lood-d forth. It was Relinda—Rolin knew from her form. He stretebed forth his arms in an implorng m nner, and svon the sash was raised. The vou h quick y moved ec} ser to the building, but in doing 80, be forgot his usual precau- tion, and his f-et mace considerable nuowe in th- snow .rust But he stopped not to think | of that now.

* Belinda !’ he uttered.

‘Rolin! returnea the fair girl, for she it was.

‘Will you not hurriedly asked. stay here ?” { Bat my father is here,’ groaned Belinds, hesitating|ly-

‘ Not your true father, dearest: He is not the one who has epent years in making you happy and joyous He is not the one who is broken-hearted now because you are away ! Come—come with me !’

*‘ But how ?”

rad ‘nat 1 woud not go. O, I cannot rreak it. 1 cannot tell a lie, Rolin,’

‘ But ’twould be no lie, dearest. You are | prisoner, and as such you cannot be xe- quired to give a pledge.’

A moment tne poor girl pondered, and hen she asked :

‘ ane can you take me home !’

* Yes, yee, ulckly and joyful P Ro'in. Y, ~~ ith me at enue Before he had time to finish the sentence, he heard a boit wove close by him, and ina moment more the porch door was opened, re man sprang forth with a sword in bie

an *Aha--whom heve we here?’ cried the neweome*, stopping within two yarde of where Rolin stood.

Our hero was thunderstrock. He heard a low cry tiom Bel nda, ad on looking up ne saw that she stood with her hands claeped. ‘Shut down that window!’ cried Abner Danton = * Shut it down!’

‘ But you will sot harm Rolia, He only came to—’

‘—sh, Belin-a,’ interrupted the young patriot °* Bear not tur me, Close your w ndow now’ The maiden uttered one exelamation to her lover, bidding bem to flee, and then lowered the sash,

‘Now, dog! hissed Danton, Aouriehi bis sword has he spoke. ‘what meas all thie? What are you doing here? Answer me before | run you through!’

Bui Rolin had not ventured into the midet of such p- opie unprepared, and throwing open the light cloak which he wore to dis- guise bis seaman @ suit. he drewa heavy eut- lass. The firet thought whieb crossed bie mind was to slay the wan betore bim, end then seize Belinda, and flee; but it only fitted across hie mind—it was not entertame ed fora moment. He could no do a deed 80 near like murder. A moment more be thought and then he said ; ‘If you wish te converse with auch weapons, you see [ am prepared, and I assure you I unde:stand the language well.’ *But what are you doing here?’ the young sory repeated, with less venom,for the sight of the cutlass and Kolin’s show of courage cooled bim wonderfully. Ile wae uot &@ brave man. ‘J came to see a poor girl who has been tore away from her home,’ returned our ero. * And I caught you just in time to prevent you from tearing ber away from her ta’her, I take jt,’ retorted Abner with much bitter- ness. ‘Ay,’ cried Rolin; ‘I would have taken her hence bad you not come.’ ‘So | thought. But now make yourself ecarce ; and let m. assure you thatif sou are ever found here again, you shall be taken prisoner—and I rather think ‘twould go hard with you 1! you snould fall into the hands of the kiog’s trvops.’

‘Don’t threaten me, sir!’ spoke Rolin, growing angry.

‘ By the host, villian,’ hissed the tary. * if you aint out of this in one minute you ha talenm moat iow W tre tu; There,

‘Stop, sir—stop,’ snterrapted Rolin, who supposed that there mght be seme of the English troops about the premises. ‘I have nothing to keep me here, but eve J go I wish to give you one word of warning.

walked swiftly from the piaee. “He leaped over the garden fence into the road, a @ when he turned to look back he saw Abner Danton stundiny just where he had left bum, The young patriot stopped and gaged once more tuwaris the window where Belinda’s light was still burning, ard with hw hands clasped over his sword hilt he uttered a qaick, fervent prayer. Perhaps ’twas well for bim then that he did sot know that thuse two British officers were helplersly drank Lad he known that he would eurely have made the attempt to liberate Belinda by force. Could he bave shown her the new found father in that situation, she would most as- suredly have fled with him. But be kuew it not, and be turned sadly away.
