The good ship 'Waverly,' homeward bound from Japan, was becAmed in mid" ocean. » 'What laud did you say that was Captain Lane?' asked young Perlev, the second mate, pointing to a svild pictu-. resque-lookiug island lying less than a league and a half off their leo bow. 'One ot tbe Society group. By my chart that should be Morley Island. Let's 6ee, you said you touched there for water the year before last when you were on the 'Atlas,' djd yon not Jack ?' 'Ay, ay, sir,' returned the ohl (ar, quickly ; and a lively time we had too. We seed (he prettiest cral thai* that ever Ived, 111 bell JBuk Lord, r she was as wild as a gull !' ; - 'A beautiful girl on that island?' cried Robert Pdr'e>, increduously. • 'Ay, ay, Mister Perly. And I'll, bet my sou'>>(vfis(' agin' my head sho war none of the black and tan natives, either I We wanted to go back and look lor her agin, but thfeold skipper wouldn't believe nor say-but she was au iiigun gal.' 'Captain deterwined to go SBhore than ever.' exclaimed the mate, in a fever of excitement, 'What do say Charlie?' be asked turning to the super cargo, a good-lookiug young man of two aud tvynity. 'I am with you. Wo caii gefc back be fore the breeae up,' . 'Oil, yfcs, I'll warrunt yon are both dying to go!' mattered old Captain Lane. 'Juat say (here ia a puty gal on that ia«. laud, aud all tbe sea lions in seven seas couldn't keep yon away] Well, you had my,consent before, aud I shall not with draw it. But look sharp for the cuts .throat savages there, aud return (he min ute I sound tbe trumpet. Iu less than fitteen minutes the young officers accompanied by fcur sailors, Were fair# flying over the Mrater towlrds 'tbe island. Touching upon Hbe sandy beacb, they drew tip their boat in a cove nearly hidden py overhanging trees, and started inland. 'lf we wish to see the gal we bavj got to be pty ty sly, for she's a wild one,' declared Jajk* 'Then we must be on our lookout for the natives, too, for they are as beastly a set as you ever saw,' After an hour's weary tramp, how ever, they were beginuiug to think tbey should have jto retpru in disappointment, when, as tbey paused for a moment, lo gaze out npou Ibe sea, tbe (oue of some one sweetly staging was wafted to their ears. '' When they had listened antil tbe sopg was flvisbed, euraptpred with the melo« dy, Charlie Wesson joyous ly^r 'lt mast be she}' 'Yes; aud she mast be a fairy to sing like that. Come, boys, let's ge down there, bat for your life, don't disturb her.' ' Advancing paptlopsly, until tbey gain ed tbe line of thiek shrubbery tb?t skirt > ed tbe beaoh,.tbey parted tlie fpKege to behold the loveliest yiaipn their gaze had ever met, ■St&udihg in the shallow water, thsU laughed and played at ber delicately formed teet and ankles, in high glee, while «he was engaged in fastening her wayiag mass oj golden hair, which fell far down her Waist in pretty braids, ' was a beautiful wajden ol scarcely six*. 1 teee summers. Iter form, habited in a well-fltting garb made of tbe iuner bark of the sea islapd willow, was faultlesa; aud her GRAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, DECEMBER features wel'e perfect in their otiMine*, while the purtiy pf her complexion eeemed only enhanced l>y the slightly bronzed hue That a lire ol exposure to * tropical eun had given it. 1 Isn't she beautiful!' exclaimed Robert, lost in admiration. 'Yes,' whispered the supercargo, in te p)y, equally fascinated with her nppaaiv ance. 'But see! she is going, to siug again.' Again the air was filled with the sweet notes of her song, and until the last sound had died away the entranced listeners did not dare to cyon breatho aloud, for fear ol breaking tho spell. 'There is no Indian blood in her veins!' declared Bob, lowly,as she ended ' her song and they continued to gaze upon her in rapt wander. 'Her features and the tone of her speech are English*' 'You are right, flob.i whispered Charlie. 'And, look! she wears a chain and locket ivhiuh tells that sbf has net always been here,' Xlis companions started with renewed surprise as they discovered a gold chain and locket, suspended from her neck. 'I would give a year ot my lf|e to know the master/ ot her existeuce herel' exclaimed the inato impetuously. 'lam going to speak to her.' v Suiting action to the words, he stepped lightly torward, and addressed her in a clear roice. But, as tho first sound fell from bis lips she turned in alarm, and catchiug sight of hinijled Ijke a fright ened gazelle. Seeing that it was vain to think of overtaking her, they could only watch her out of sight with looks of wonder! •We must fiud her, boys,' declared the excited male,aud his words were heart* ily seconded by the supercargo. Tiie ! others were nothing loth to join in tl>e wild chasf. j Away dashed the sailors on tho course { of the fugitive maid, but finally they were forced to abaudon the search as a fruitless one. Hush! at that moment, hjgh and clear oyer the mile or more of 4uterveuing sea, cume the clarion tone of the captain'* trupipet. 'Wo must return to tbe ship now, but I am determined the Waverly, shall not leavo these waters till we kuow more oi that—' 'flough-ough-oo!' broke iu a wild, discordant yell upon tl*s mate's speech. Then, half a hundred furious uatires rushed towards them from eyery quarter. Six against fifty in an open fight I The sailors were brave men, but in less time than we could describe it they were burled to the earth and overpowered. Instead oi putting, them to death then, and there, however, the savage* bore them away with exultant cries. Finally a Valley" teebie'd J growth was inched, and tlie prisoner#, •aw the rude huts under the cocoa-nut trees that comprised tbe heme ot their captota. Here they werp ipet by a motley throng of old inett, women and children, who crowded around withanxlous gaze, and anon ottered Startling yells. Bijt ,p*r l*le»4 looked iu vain tor the island pyjppb. - Ci: .v> .iwrwx.Vj i The triumphant o*vages bore tbem forward to the centre of the glade into tno presence of aa 6ld, weazen, faced native seated squat up/?« the ground in mint, of the largest wigwam. At sight of the captives he gave an ex clamation Qf delight. , / After be had satisfied his curiosity, a long consultation was held between him and th» leader of the captors, wholly un intelligible to our friends, thongb they knew, from the violent gestures wade,no good w as hod*d tbepi. Briefly told, at its conclusion three of the savages seized Robert Perley and led him to a huge cocoauut-tree, where be was GoippjeljetJ to jtand i?p right agtinst tbe trunk. Charley aud Jack were then placed pue on each side of him, when three epearsipep w;th their rpde weapon* were stationed a short dialauee off, ready to seitf Ibe through thefr bodies. The doomed men looked in vain for mercy from the swarthy - visages before theqi, and their lips moved in prayer. At this critical juncture a sharp cry was uttered, and looking up. the whites saw the beautiful maiden rashiug to wards them.. She did not pause until she reached their Bide, when she placed herself in front of Robert, and w*ved her band frantically to the spearsmen. Tbe old chief caq>e forward with an angry trown and ordered her to etaud aside, but with flashing eyes she met him unflinchingly. 'Warana no warior to kilj helpless wbitefacc," she cried, in broken English, 'SSeo, 'tbey like Star Slnier imichj She ilofc let Waraiia kill.' Maddened by defiance, the,chief com manded his tollQirerer* to take hei away. Her shapely foot striped (he ground impetuously, as she criedi 'Warrior, touch Star Singer and she killqqickl Sho go if white.faces dol' aud the defiant (icld a siuwp, mur derous looking weapon over her own heart* 'She no mere sing for Warana I' Evidently the chief did not care to lose, her, for he hesitated In his designs, It is doubtful if the heroio xirl. could hare reucued the capti/e sailors, but sfie had saved their lives by dolayiug the ex ecution. Wild shouts rnng in the air, and * body of the ' WaverlyV crew rashed in to the Tfciley. Panic seized the frighteued natives, and the whitcß wtiu a bloodless victory. 'The captain thought you were iu ; trouble and sent us to yon.' 'And with Ibis brave girl you have saved our lives,' said the yomjg mate, warmly grasping bi* bfotbef officer's hand. The wonder of (be seamen |t behold ing the lair timid maid, can be well imagined. 'You must go with u§,' said Robert, clasping her bund. [ She trembled violently, and her gaze hardly left the sigt of tbe terrified na | lives, huddled together iu a group not lar off, but without a word sbo yielded seeming to leel that she was a captive. It WB« many days before she mingled freelv with her new-found frieuds, a. d even then, at times, that old spirit of aiieasiuess stole over her. Finally the mate bear tbo sus pense no longer, and he rosolyed tp kuow his fate, As yet, she had allowed no one to (ouch tbe locket she wojre, but guarded it with anxiety. As Robert told the story of his lore, however, (je pleaded again that he might examine it, when, at last she cou> seined. ** Pressing a spring it flew open, die closing the portraits of am iy and wo> man. As bis gaze met the picture, (be male uttored a cry ot surprise and almost dropped the locket. 'My father nnd mother 1' bo exclaim* ed.
