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. CHAPTER XVII. RANGER, 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. There is no uso in talking Captain, I tell you again it is not tbo fault of our said Lieutenant Morton, as tho Hercules headed for Charlotte harbor. then in tbo name of all the furies,” asked Colgate, “why w*ro wo beaten? Such a thing never liappaned before." “Very true. But if you go ou under estimating tho valor and skill of your foos, as you lmvo boon doing, you must expect to bo beaten—particularly if you moot a foo bravo and skillful as yourself." And you think Thornton is both?" asked Colgate, with a scowl. You want a candid answer ?” I would not have asked if J did not." Without asked. Do you i at Tampa ?" c l ,! .vi "I du." “Our men, judg ivo us you or 1 o “They ■ rcotly, Morton ere badly beaten by tho loss, wore saw them?" lmd morn guns and moro men I think so." iau who defeated us must i and nu able sailor, and if saying be was not, you add defeat uud indirectly bring “Then the you porsist it odium to you 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 the great war canoe of Kosuo, chief ! of tho Mikusaukcos. | to nr: continued. | ; tho Creeks, by lie —•• •♦*** | sent b> Charlostoi a farm;.
