CHAPTER XVI.
THE PRIESTS OF THE SEN.
Julia and Lonah experienced a feeling
of indescribable relief when they reached
a point that induced them to believe they
wore free from pursuit, and this point was
directly iu front of the Sacred Island,
which rose like an emerald pyramid abovo
the lake, jrad to an elevation that looked
down on the other islands and tho shores
of tho distant main land.
Both stopped to breathe and cougratu"
late each other as the canoe, still feeling
the impulso of their paddles, glided for
the shores that, mirrored in the glassy wa
ters, seemed the abode of solitude and si
lence.
“My heart fails me as we noar the sanc
tuary,” said Lonah, as, with her black
hair thrown back from her earnest, glow
ing face, sho looked intently on the mys
terious island toward which they were
drifting.
“What is there to dread, at least com
parod with that from which wo have fled?’
asked Julia, whose onrly religious training
and education prevented her considering
with anything like supernatural dread the
inhabitants of tho Snored Island, of
whom the bravest of tho neighboring In
dians stood iu awe.
“It is not that which wo know well,
oven if it assume the form of dunger,
that alarms us most; but that which we
cannot comprehend, even though its as
pect be wild.”
“Did the people on the Sacred Island
ever make war on the Mikasaukces. or do
harm to any ?”
“Never, Zulia.”
“Have they over stolen, or done aught
that would lead us to dread them as men ?”
“No ; for we do not know that they are
men. Our prophets say the dwellers on
tho Sacred Island are not of this world.
They novor visit tho main land, and arc
but seldom seen. Sometimes, when tho
night is dark, a great tire, that lights up
the island and the lake, can be seen;
then our people seek their ‘lodges and
hide their faceH, for we know great
storms, that sweep down the forests, are
sure to follow; and the Great Spirit
walks the earth, with the lightnings flash
ing from his eyes and tho thunders in
his voice.”
“No, Lonah. You but repeat what you
havo heard. Tho Great Spirit of
whom I have told you is not a
God of anger, and rejoices not in
tho sufferings of Ilis people. The storms
are as necessary to the success of His
plans as ihe calms and the gentle rains,
and when a forest falls before the tem
pest Ho sends the flowers and tho vines to
add beauty to whut seemed ruin.”
The canoe was now nearly stationary,
and as Julia ceased speaking sho resumed
her paddle, nud, imitated by Lonah, they
again moved in the direction of the island
toward which, but a few hours before,
every effort, had been bent.
It is vory much so in life, which we en
noble iu our own minds by tho pursuit of
some great object. During the days and
nights of long years we work to reach a
haven that promises high position, safety
from poverty, peace from the worlds
HtcrniB; but as the coveted position is
neared the efforts relax, the importance
of the life struggle is dwarfed, and we
hesitate to enter the place to reach which
've have traveled so far. And so tho man.
who, ignoring life, bends every earthly
effort to tho procuring of Heavenly bliss,
halts as he stands by the shores of the
fiver of Doath ; and, though he sees the
towards aud the glories of the land of
eternal light, he trembles and clings to
the earth side of tho shore, aud prays for
still another day of working light nud
painful darkness.
“The Great Spirit guides. We cannot
go back." Lonah spoke in a tone of fixed
resolve, which Julia took for desperation,
and seeing or thinking of nothing before
them that could add to tho danger from
which they were flying, sho plied her pad-
dlo, and the canoe, with tho long ripples
whispering behind, glided into a little
cove, surrounded by a beach of sholls
beautiful in their delicate tints as
flowers that looked down on them from
the sloping shoro.
Removing tho articles of food and
clothing which tkoy had taken tho pro-
caution to carry with them, they secured
the canoe by dragging it out of tho water,
and then sitting down, they refreshed
thomselvos by bathing their arms and
faces, and partaking of tho repast fo
which their protracted exertions had given
them a good appetite.
“We are safe hero from pursuit, and
before we go farther inland it would be
better to rest, for wo both need it," said
Lonah, as she proceeded with wonderful
skill to mako a couch iu the canoe, about
which sho fasteuod a number of flowering
bushes to hide them from tho sun. Julia
felt the necessity for rest, aud aiding her
companion, they were soon lying down,
and oblivious of danger and pursuit in
the realm of dreams.
While they sleep let us examine tho ro-
markablo island, on whoso shores tho In
dians of tho main laud had never set foot,
aud whose inhabitants were as completely
cut off from the outer world ns if they
dwelt in another planet.
Tho circumference of tho island was
about twelve miles, aud tho bold shores,
rising about it like the rim of a basin, on
the one hand looked down on tho waters
of Okeechopee, and on tho other stood
guard over a circular valley of sur
passing loveliness. In tho centre of
this valley was a lake of irrogular
form, and in its centre a small island that
at a distance scorned covered by a white
stone building, from whose summit at
night a great tiro ever burned, and from
which by day ever rose from the porpet-
ual flamos an airy pillar of smoke. About
the shore of this lake wero dwellings,
backed by cultivated grounds and sur
rounded by flowers, such as Cortez saw
tho previous century surrounding tho
maguificeut city of the last Aztec King.
The little lake was dotted by gracoful ca-
i, and hero and there a floating island
showed that tho dwellers in tho Sacred
Island wero a different poople from tho
aborigines of Florida, and that in their
tastes, culture and suu worship they wore
closely allied to tho inhabitants of Mexi-
, though in truth they wero tho snrne
people. Driven from Mexico for sedition
more than two centuries before tho dnto
our story, au Aztec prince,
with a few score devoted follow-
accompanied by their wives
and children, lauded on the coast
of Florida. Hero they wero at once attack
ed by the savage Indians of that laud, till
at last, reduced in numbors, they sought
refuge in tho island iu the centre of tho
great lake. Hero they found game and
fishiu abundance; and establishing their
homos with all the culture they had left
bohind, they sevored themselves from the
great world, aud deuliug death to nil in
truders, ihoy at length established tho
ohnractor for mystery and consequent
awe that deterred any prying nud on-
croachmout from their superstitious and
barbarous neighbors. So dwelt tho de
scendants of tho settlers of tho Sacred Is
land for loug generations. Successive
peace precluded the thought of war till
arms, strifo, ambition and bloodshed, be
came a matter of tradition, and no desire
to go beyond their own beautiful home
ever stirred the heart of “tho children of
sun,” as these people called them
selves.
While Julia and Lonah slept in tho ea
rn, tho poople of tho Sacrod Island wore
busy iu thoir beautiful valley, and tbo
grace, peaceful faces, and extrome boaoty
of tho peopD, were fitting tho residents
of a i lace so lovely. Every day, more
from the hubit kept up as a tradition than
from any dread of danger, tho shores of
tho island wero patrolled—though from
the unknown outside world but one hu-
being had como in the long years,
and ho was IT white man, who fled from
the Indians ou tho mainland years before,
and being tho first of that color thoy had
ever seen, tho people of tho inlaud met
him and treated him as if ho were a
supernatural being. Thoy had subse
quently just cause for this improssion :
for he taught them many useful arts of
which they were ignoraut, nud tho purity
of his life throw au air of sanctity about
his person.
Early on tho morning referred, to four
young men,the sons ol two < f tho priest.*,
started by twos in opposite directions,
to patrol the Island, and watch its shores.
For many yoars this had been done, but
so far the only evidences they had seen
of an outside world were now and then a
• tranded canoo and paddles after a
storm, or tho body of some drowned
Mikasawkee washed up ou the sho:o.
Izeal aud Tonto took tho course round
the south of the Island, and this they
wero to pursue till they met their friends
coming from the opposite direction,when,
as was customary, they would compnro
notes, aud iu company return to roport
to the old priest whose duty it was to
keep tho sacred fires ever burning in tbo
Temple of the Sun.
Swift of foot, graceful in face and
form, aud strong as the fabled demigods,
Izeal and Tonto pursued their journey,
adding to the lightness of their steps, by
the low voiced songs which centuries be
fore their ancestors had sung about the
grand lake that embraced the superb cap
ital of the Montezumas. Down a decliv
ity that led to the shell covered shore of a
little bay, reaching which they halted and
glanced around.
“Nothing here but tho beauty that ever
rouiains," said Tonto. as he turned as il to
continue his journey.
I “Your eyes have not done their good
; work, brother. Look closer, aud soo if
there have not boou poople hero who be
long not to us. "
As Azcnl spoke, ho pointed to the im
print of little foot in tho soft earth, and
his amazed companion stoopod at ouco to
inspect thorn.
“It ia even as you say, brother. But
they must hove come from tho other
world aud tied."
“Look again, and be sure cf what you
speak. ”
lonto rose, followod tho direction with
his eyes indioatod by his brother’s Auger,
and sow but a few yards off tho dark out
line of the canoo, which the bushos placed
about it by Lonah imperfectly concealed.
What is this, A zeal ? Surely there
cau be no people hero !"
1 ho brothers approached the canoe
with caution, gently removed ono of the
flowering bushes, aud to thoir astonish
ment they saw sleeping, but beautiful ns
tho pictures of thoir better dreams, Lo-
nab. the daughter of tho chief, uud Julia,
fair as the angels.

Captain Colgato, to whom we must
again rofor, was a man of immense physi
cal strength, undoubted physical couruge,
and passions ns strong and fierce as un
bridled passions could be. Expecting to
destroy Captain Iborntou, the son of tho
man bo so bitterly bated and had so foul,
ly wronged, Le was more mortified than
disappointed at the utter defeat ho mot
ou Tampa Bay. As is usual iu such cases,
ho attributed Lis defeat to a hundred dif
ferent cause-, but among these causes ho
■r reckoned tbo valor of tho daring
Costilla, the bravery of tho Julia’s crew,
tho indomitable pluck of young Thorn
ton. Chance, ill luck, and tho incompe-
teuey of his own men were tho only things
ho saw.

was too stubborn and proud to bring him
self to tho point, so, when his boats ami
crow wero roady, ho left without another
word.
While tho pirato Captain is moving with
his boarded followers for Lake Okeeoho-
poo, it may be well to glance back nt
Captain Thornton and his friends, who
are encamped by tho north shore. Tho
morning after thoir arrival in catnp, all
wore astonished at tho approach of a on-
uoo, which, seen through their glasses,
contained an Indian and a white girl.
Captain Thornton felt instinctively that
tho white girl was his sister, and though
ho trombled with excitement, ho calL.
aud shouted to her to approach, in tho
vain hopo that sho might sco him. and
tho belief that sho would rocogni/o liis
voice. Ilis heart failed him as ho saw tho
canoe fly away—yet ho felt tho occupants
took himself and followers to bo foes.
Captain Valdez looked around in tbo
hopo of finding n canoe, but tho search
was futile, and at last thoy saw tho girls
disappear beyond an intervening island.
While thoy wore sitting dowu at break
fast Manuel, tho scout, came into camp
breathless with running, and stood pant
ing boforo his master.
“Woll, what news bring you?” usked
Captain Valdez, looking up.
“Tho chief’s daughter and Zulia, tlm
white girl, havo escaped from the Mikn-
saukees!”
“Wo know that."
“You do, Cnpitan ?”
“Yes, wo saw them."
“That is womlorfiil ; but there is more
news still!"
“What is that ?’’
“ Tho pirates are coming to Kohuo’h vil
lago, and tho Indians have learned of your
approach.”
“What of that ?"
“'They are preparing for war. Thoy
wore painting their faces oven as 1 left."
“With whom are they going to war ?"
“With you.”
“With us?"
i “Yos ; I heard them toll a white man
who is in tho village with some of his Sc
friends, that they would join together on
aud como hero aud defeat you."
“Indeed. But did they send in pur
suit of the girls?” asked Thornton.
“They did last night; a war canoo
with twelve men was sont aftor them. "
“Thoy havo had bad luck certainly.”
At this juncture a sailor dripping from
tho luko camo running iu and saluting I ho
Captain, ho said :
“I lmvo just, hauled in a big canoo,
which I saw going adrift in tho lake.’’
“Where is, it now," asked Thornton.
“Close by, sir,” nnsworod tho sailor, i
pointing to tho plnco.
All wont down to whore the canoo lay, I
and Manuel at once announced that it
