CHAPTER L
A FATEFUL O4.TASTR0PUE.
A wild 6torm was raging upon the Mediter?
ranean Bea, near thc close ol a dreary Novem?
ber day, and sky and waters were black with
the gloom of the budden and furious tempest,
before which a sundi sailing vessel was scud
ding under bare poles. Her build and rigging
proclaimed her Sardinian. 8he was The Gull,
Captain Varino, master, on her way from Cag
liari to Palermo.
She had on board two seamen, and two pas
- senge; s.
These passengers were Englishmen who had
procured passage on The Gull to Palermo,
whence they inieuded to embark by steamer
to Marseilles, the following day.
Wliile the captain and his assistants wero at?
tending to i heir dulles, and expressing appre?
hensions as-to their safety, the two English?
men stood apart, leaning against Ibo low bul
" warks, and surveying tho wild scene around
them.
These men were both young, apparenlly ol
the same age, about three and twenty, but
evidently they wore not ol the same station
in life.
One, thc more striking of thc two, was aris?
tocratic in '?is bearing, tall, slender and hand?
some, with a frank, smiling mouth, a pair o?
.earless blue eyes, set under a wide and- mas?
sive forehead, and tawny hair blowing back
from his face. Noble, generous and kind?
hearted, he had an adventurous disposition
and a dauntless courage.
He was Guy Tressllian, tho only son and
heir of Sir Arthur Tressilian, Baronet, ol Tree
silian Court, England.
His companion presented a remarkable re?
semblance to him, being also tall and slender
and fair, with tawny hair and moustache, but
he had not the (rank smile, lue bright, fearless
look, or the Joyous spirit that characterized
young Tressillan. Young us lie was, he had
seen much ol the dark side ol life, and his ex?
periences hud been s'icu os to develop in him
some of the worst qualities of his uaturc.
He was Jasper Lowder, Guy Tressilian's
hired travelling companion atm bosom friend.
The meeting and connection of the two had
a touch ol' romance. Young Trcsslliau had
spent four years in a German university,
whence he had been graduated willi honor.
On leaving the university, iu obeueueo to lils
father's written command, lie had undertaken
a tour of the countries inclosing the Mediter?
ranean Sea, lu company with one of hi3 late
tutors. This gentleman being unexpectedly
promoted lo a professorship, abandoned Tres?
sillian at Baden, leuvlog him to lind another
travelling compauiou.
On the ?vening of tho very day after this
desertion, as Guy Tressillan was sauntering
through the streets of Baden, he had boen as?
saulted by a trio of lils own countrymen, all
more or le;;j intoxicated. It was apparent
that they took him lor another, and Intended
lo wreak vengeance upon hiui. Without allow?
ing hint to speak, they forced him to >.eieud
himself. Guy was getting tho worst of thc
conflict, when a stranger came running lo his
assisi ance, und in a few moments tho two had
put the miliaris to Sight.
This stranger who came so opportunely to
Chty's assistance was Jasper Lowder. His re?
semblance to Young Tressilian awakened lu
the latter a romantic interest. He questioned
Lowder, learned that he was poor und alone in
the world, and took him with him to lils hotel.
Believing that the similarity of features indica?
ted a siiMiarily of tastes und natures, he en?
gaged Lowder as his travelling companion,
-and the past year they had spent together
more like brothers than like employer aud em?
ployed.
"This storm ls a regular Levanter," said
Lowder, clinging with both hands to tue bul?
warks. "Do you think the craft will staud ll,
Tre6silian ?"
..Oh, yes," answered young Tresillian, wip?
ing the salt Bl)ray from his face. "The captain
knows the Sicilian coast perfectly, la two
.lours, or less, we shall be in ike bay of Paler?
mo, in throe hours we snail be domiciled In
the best rooms ol' ino hold Triuacria, with the
best supper which Messer Ragu-n, can furnish.
And lo-morruw, at noon,"1 he added, "we shall
embark for Marseille*) in a Messageries slea
mer."
"And from Marseilles you will proceed to
England and lo Tressilian Court." said Lowder,
with some bitterness. "Aud /-what is lo be
como ol' me? I liavo had a year ol unalloyed
nappines-, aud no v comes buck the drudgery,
the hopolo^s loil. the anxieUes ot the wretched
old life. You picked me up at Baden, ti poor
adventurer seeking to gain a living by leach?
ing Euglis'.i, and the same destiny ls open io
monow."'
Tresillian turned lils handsome face noon
his companion in surprise and affectionate re?
proach.
"Jusper !" he exclaimed, "yon talk strange?
ly. Do you suppose 1 have culled you irieud
and brother so long, and loved you so well, lo
lose you now ? I ?nenut to hti.e written to tey
rather concerning you and your future, Jasper,
but his sudden recall, received yesterday,
cansos me to return home without writing. I
aimil telegraph IV un Marseilles thal you will
come home with me. And you will, will you
not ? You will not abandon mo, my friend ?
I will charge myself with yoisr future, I will
seo i hal you obtain Ute position to which your
talents emilie you. You kave no tius to keep
you on die Com ?noni, ?.'.
A strange expression passed over Jasper
LowcV-rs luce.
"ND, I have no ties," he said huskily.
"?nd you will go home with mer"'
"What, will your father say to my coming ?"
demanded Lowder. "He will think your gen?
erosity Quixotic He will dismiss norn Iiis

"I have no proofs ol it. All I posit

At. that moment he' behold a dark object at
a little distance In the water. Thc IWCS
hurled this Object against the projecting heud
of a sunken rock. At the same instant Low?
der recognized it as the body of a man.
Ho crept toward lt, and the waters dashed
the body on the shore- at lils feet. Ile put
his hands on his face. How cold and wot lt

Lewder thrust his hand under tho waistcoat

beating of his heart. Despair took possession
Of Illili.
"Dead!" ho said, shrilly. "Dead ! And lin

A thought came to him-a thought so strange

Again he felt ol Tresslliuti's heart. II. gave no
throb against Ids hand. Ile passed Iiis hand
owr Tressilian's head ?nd discovered a gaping
wound m thc sk;:!!. The hair was clotted wll ti
blood.
Puning his hand imo his breast pocket, Low?
lier drew om his limo water-proof match-sale.
He opened it with trombliug fingers and struck
a light. Tho rod Bicker danced' on young Tres
sultan's face.
How ghastly ami terrible il looked ! Tin;
eyes wero closed, the smile was gone. Tho
seal of deam seemed soi on thc noblo fea?

Lowder examined the wound. Il liad boen
made by conluct with the sharp rook, ami
oven Loiviler perceived its terrible chara ter.
"Il he is not dead, ho soon will be," ho mut?
tered. "His bruin has received au awful in?

He won't Ure till mornin/, and tiela perhaps
dead already. Ho inu-a bo dead !"
Again il seemed to him as though some de?
mon echoed his words.
The mai eli dropped from hi* lingers into
the water. For a lillie while ho crouched on

willi tho better and nobler instincts of his na?

Ai last, with sudden and abrupt si ca! lb ?ness,
his hands .-to'? into the broas! pocket of Tres?

those among bis own wet garments. Their

FOR COTTON AND ALL CROPS.
THE UNPARALLELED SUCCESS OF THIS
gre:t FERTILIZER on ALL CROPS proves it to
be the BEST and CHEAPEST Manure now offer?
ed In thc market.
It has been used by many of ths most emi?
nent namers In the South, and
IN EVERY SIXGLE INSTANCE IT HAS GIVEN
ESTIRE SATISFACTION.
On COTTON Its effects have been particularly
marked lt is no rare thing for WUANN'S PHOS?
PHATE to Increase the yield from ONE HUN*
DRED to TWO HUNDRED PER CENT., or even
more.
Mr. George C. Dixon, an eminent planter of
Cn meron, Ga, says In a letter to the Banner of the
South, November 20, that In an experiment with
seven leading Superphosphates and GUHUOS, tie
WUANN'S proved Usch* the best of all those
tried, paying a SET PROFIT (even at the pres?
ent low priai of Cotton,) or $20 so p- r aere of
Cotton. A copy of Mr. Dixon's letter, giving
details, wUl be furnished on application.
