The pirates, after a momentary < (Tort to
stem the onset, broke and tied at r ms the
little prairie, closely pursued by tho ex
ultant followers of Thornton aud Valdez.
Had Kosno deliberately planned tho
battle, he could not havo hit upon n de
vice better calculated to give him victory
than tho rftie, unanticipated, that was
forced on him by tho alarm of bis follow
ers at the fire from the woods. True,
many of his warriors had gonodown never
to rise again, but this was only a small
part of the force. Thornton and his men,
in hot pursuit of tho dying pirates, did
not stop to ask if the lines of prostrate
Iudiaus over which they dashed were liv
ing or dead. They were fired but by one
object, and that was to annihilate every
one of Colgate's men before they could
reach tho protection of the woods on the
opposite side of the prairie.
The pirate force was half destroyed,
ami Thornton aud a few of his sailors, by
a superhuman effort of speed, succeeded
in headiug and turning them
back. It seemed the moment fur decisive
victory, but that moment passed with ut
ter defeat staring him iu the face.
Dashing aside the breathless men who
opposed him, Thornton waa cutting his
way to tho place where Colgate was dos-
peratuly trying to rally his men, when
again tho yells of Kosno's braves rang
out, and a cloud of red warriors closed iu
to the relief of their allies.
Thornton saw the Imp, and appreciated
tho terrible mistake. Valdez saw it too,
and turning his mon with fixed bayonets,
met and scattered the Indians, but they

THE NTKAXMERN.
Arlztah was tho I’riest of the 8nn, ami
the virtual rnler of the Gland. Having
no military, beoauso thcro was no foe,
they had no captain; having no crime,
because there was no waut, they had uo
chief magistrate: and having no ambi
tion but to mako each other happy, nil
willingly obeyed the mild rulings of Arlz
tah, to whom they looked ns priest,
prophet, and king. For tho last five
years -that is, since tho white stranger so
miraculously reached their shores—the
old priest had introduced many innova
tions that (ended to elevate the people.
Human sacrifices were abolished, ami n
grout chango made in tho form of Hun
worship.
The white mnn was nevor seen by tho
peopK, for he was left in the temple in
tho centre of the lake, and though this
fact was known to the islanders, they per-
aihteil iu believing that tho white

gate, which un old white headed man,
soeiug their approach, opened; so that
Axcal was prevented from saying souio-
thing that rose to bis lips.
The priest, in the mean time, bad en
tered, and waited inside for tho strangers
to come up.
‘‘My daughters, it is not for mo to do-
man-1 why you have come to this little
world of ours, Imt it is for me to see that,

and their happiness ia assured. Follow
Azcal remained with his head bowed,
while the bountiful strangers followed the
pi lent through a flower-covered court, iu
which the only living things scon, as they
advanced, were a few great white birds,
standing solemnly around a central basin.
At the further side of the court the
priest opeued n dour, ami motioning with
his hand, ho said, "This, for the present,
will ho yonr home. I will send you food,
and when you havo restod I will eome and
talk w ith yon, and you can then toll me
why you hnve come."
