Hn Ocean Hcqua?ntance ' By Claude patriarte Copyright. 1005, by Homer ?praguo o? . -" ? - The great steamer ploded Its way on svard, each throb of the engines bring ing ber nearer to, tho destined haven. Par up jin the bow stood a niau and a -woman -watching through the darkness. Plymouth would be reached early next morning. In silence the two stood gaz ing ntj the distant lights now beginning to flaggi out. This! meant tho close of ihp vd?|nge, the end of ? week of rare companionship. At first the man had paid but scant heed tjr| the slender, dark eyed womau -who faced him at tho long table. He ^vas off for a rest and did not caro to meet people But something In the .quiet, restrained glance attracted him, ?nd later, when ho saw her ou deck struggling with steamer rugs, lt seemed .only civil to offer his assistance. Henceforth they fell into th? way of being together. They read and crltl ?cised each other's books and maga zines, they spcat much time pachig the ?deck, and now had come thereat night ?of Itali. She was leaving the ship at Plymouth; he was going on to Cher bourg. The man was the first to speak. "And am I never to* see you again?" be asked., . She shook her head. Jj'.'; "It is vrry unlikely." "You moan"-- he demanded. "I mean that it is ber .t not" woe the .quiet answer, but ho bent rebelliously .closer. ?.Listen," he said determinedly. "I Icnow that, lt ia for too soon to speak, that you have known me barely a week, yet when you talk In this way say th?t wo shall not meet again" "You know nothing* of me. either," ijroke id the woman hurriedly-"who I am or whence'I come." '*E know, you are the loveliest and ?weetest woman In th? world," he said, with a stubborn frown, "and that. I" "No, no," cried she sharply. Then ?he lifted her head.. "I have not told yon the whole truth," she said, a quiet dignity In tor hearing. "I am indeed 3?rs. Raymond, and my husband ls dead, but-I am also Russell Ban croft's sister," "Bancroft's :r sister." He repeated Ihe words Incredulously. ."Bancroft's .-sister.". His voice betrayed only an ii mazed bewilderment but tho worn 4m, sensitively alive to every lutou a tlon, heard or fancied a certain hidden repugnance beneath the surprise. Her breath fluttered; then she pulled her self together. "So I am sure you will agree with me that any further friendship he *ween us- ls impossible,*^ ?she said clear ly. '.'Good night and good by." Before he could divine her intention she bad stepped toward the. cej^our' ionway.* The. next moment 6bewas . ?gone. The man turned back to the ral'.. "Bancroft's . sister," he sold again, His eyes resting vaguely, Unseeinlngly upon the tumbling waters. "Bancroft's sister.? Below in the narre- litt ie cabin Mrs. Raymond threw herself upon tho bunk. The heavy tears hung ?p?n her lashes. He hated hor then. She wondered at lt lu a dull sort of way.. Yet who xeally could wonder that the very name of Bancroft should bo diataetsf ul In his ears? She knew the whole wretched story.- The two; men had been chums at school, roommates at College.

For a mo ment sho scarcely breathed, thrilled be tween ecstasy aud fear. Then a dork | figure detached itself from .the fog and cania to her. , "It It? you," enid the voice, and this time unmistakably lt was Cortwright's. "I wasn't euro nt first" "But youl" gasped the woman. "Your ship-Cherbourg?" "Hang Cherbourg," said he cheerful ly. Then hls.volce dropped. "Do you think that you were very kind to me awhile back?" he asked gravely. "Wrsn't lt rather mean to spring s jsarprlse of that sort on a man and thea run before he could re cover?" "Ch!" expostulated she weakly. This was a nov/view of the matter. "I thought It was because you didn't care," he went on. "You know, you wouldn't walt, wouldn't give me a chance to speak. I thought-perhaps anyway, I felt mighty blue when I went below. Thei I found-this." She could Just glimpse tap tiny square of lawn that ho showed her. "It lay on the carpet near my door, and lt told me-it told me- Ah. sweetheart," he cried, a sudden subdued exultation ringing through his tone, ' that gave me the courage to come It told me that Perhaps you felt sorry for me; that perhaps you, too, cared-Just a little blt -that you might listen to me. Was I wrong, dear? Will you marry me?" The mist was drifting out to sea, The clouds had broken, and In the .stat appeared a glow of "Tlmson and gold. The sun was rising In all Its splen dor and majesty. The rain was over. For a moment the woman gazed with wide, glad eyes at the newborn day; then she turned to meet the man's eager entreaty. "I will marry you whenever jrou like," she said. Note- Traaredr. They nae" talked halfway through the park, and suddenly she sat down on a bench. He sat beside her. They were entirely alone save for an old man St one end of their seat Im mersed in a book. Their agitated con versation continued: "Oh, it Is too dreadful!" sho shudder ed as she covered her face with her hands as if to shut ont some unbeat able sight . ' "Fearful," he agreed, deeply moved and mopping the perspiration from bis brow. "Horrible," she / added."I cannot bear to think of lt The loss of hope, happiness, perhaps even life itself." , "Hush!" he interrupted gently. "I^st os no longer think of it or it may grow, to prey on our minds.". "Pardon meu" sold. birt mun on, the end of . the seat, his watery eyes distended In lively apprehension, "has' there been some awful disaster? Have ron been forced to look upon some aw ful tragedy ?"

You see,: we. have .Jost be some engaged, and we were talking of what a calamity it would have been lad we never met" 1 Dexlvnttlon of Fad. The derivation of the word "fad" is possibly traceable hi the Welsh lan* juage. By the law of mutation of Lai cal consonan to peculiar to that tongue the root words, ff edd and medd are convertible terms. Their . essential neahlng is possession; tran?-a *e or In? ransitlve, possession of'SOi;,^iIng or iie act of being possessed o. ^grossed >y some occupation or vice. Welsh neda and Irish, Sanskrit and english nad have similar meanings and are )robabl.y kindred words. The word nad is no J- common m.Teutonic idioms, to that the Anglo-Saxons probably bor? .owed lt from the Wv ^.' Fad la hcrefore* ?qunl?y derivable from ffedd. Proximately, of course, lt comes from t?j'taidland dialects" and ultimately rom some..root word common to many a embers ; of the .Aryan '.. family of peech.

After claret, , j whisky, and now beer. Japan In 1868. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford j claims tho distinction of being the I first European who was allowed, by fnvitation, to gaze on the face of, the mikado of Japan. This was in 1808. In that year Lord Charles was gazetted to the Galatea, which, with tho Duke of Edinburgh on i board, made an extensive tour. Among other places visited by tba ?hip was Japan, where the English prince was invited hy the emperor to visit him at his palace. "Thus/' says Lord Charles Beresford, "wo were tho first Europeans to see tho mikado, and we should have been cut down in the streets by tho Japa if we had ned been guarded by thir ty or forty soldiers." The Duke Paid Up. Though enormously rich, tho Duke of "Westminster never by any chance has money in his pocket. The other day he went to London to make some purchases, leaving be hind the manservant who attends to his small disbursements. He met an intimate but impecunious friend, and the two spent tho day in a han som cab. Bet?re starting for home the duke borrowed a couple of sov ereigns from his friend and then forgot all about it. In a day or two he received a reminder in the shape of a bill written thus : "For the priv ilege of riding in a hansom with a duke, ?2."
