at a rapid pace towards tho little cove in which the boats were ordinarily moored, still holding tho lad lightly pressed in her arms— was Die work of a minute. She knew the wooden trap would not long withstand the desperate strength of Block Store, and she mnst get away from the Skcve Mbo!l before the two men broke loose. Down slw went, swiftly but eantiously over the slippery Juts of rock, looking neither to the right hand nor to the left, but picking her way with care towards the little basin in the rocks— before life and liberty— behind her—. — where ware the boots? Once, twice, thrice she- looked around; but the boats wore nowhere be soon. The warm flush of hope that bad begun to kindle round her was rudely quenched. In agonized despair she stood for a minute or utterly puzzled and confounded her inability to account for the die- 1 appearance of-ibc boats. That Abel ' wa* nowhere to be seen, caused her no surprise, believing a* she thrown into the sea. Still, the boats i could not hare been taken away ex- i o-pt by human bands, and gone tbey • certainly Were. She set Jamie down i for au instant, then turned and hur- 1 riod up the rocks, and standing on (he 1 highest ledge, stralnrd her eyes out 1 over the dark waste of water. After ' little while, right in a silver track of ! moonlight, and not mora than a quar- ' of a mile from the Skeve Mhoil the I plainly hw two boats lashed together, • tho larger of which a man was scat- i tingtiithed that the smaller boat was ■ her husband's own little.
