A FATEFUL CATASTROPHE. A wild stoi m was raging upon the Mediterranean Sea, near the close of a dreary November day, and sky nnd waters were black with the gloom of the sudden and furious tempest, before which a small sailing vessel was scud? ding under bare poles. Her build and rigging proclaimed her Sardinian. She was The Gull, Captain Vurino master, on her way from Gagliari to Palermo. She had on board two seamen, and two passengers. These passengers were Englishmen, who bad procured passage on The Guli to Palermo, whence they intended to embark by steamer to Marseilles, the following day. While Che' Captain and his assistants were/attending to their duties, and ex? pression apprehensions as to their safety, the;two Englishmen s?ood apart, loaning against tho low bulwarks, and surveying tho wild so ono around them. These mon were both young, appa? rently of the same age, about three and twenty, bat evidently they were not of the same station in life. One, the more striking of tho two, was ariotooratio in his bearing, tall, slender and handsome, with a frank, smiling month, a pair of fearless blue eyes, set nnder a wide and massive forehead, and tawny hair blowing baok from his face. Noble, generous and kind-hearted, he ! had an adventurous disposition and a dauntless courage. He was Gay Tressilian, the ouly son j and heir of Sir Arthur Tressilian, Baro- ? net, of Tressilian Court, England. His companion presented a remarka? ble resemblance to him, being also tall and Blender and fair, with tawny hair and moustache, but ho had not the frank smile, the bright, fearless look, or the joyous spirit that character i zed young Tressilian. Young as bo was, be bad seen muob of the dark sido of Uf?, and his experienoes had been suoh as to develop in him some of the worst quali? ties of his natnre. He was Jasper Lowder, Guy Tres- ; 8ilian's hired traveling companion and bosom friend. The meeting and connection of the two had a touch of romance. Young Tressilian bad spent four years in u German University, whence he had been graduated with honor. On leaving the university, in obedience to bis father's written command, be had un? dertaken a tour of tho countries inclos? ing the Mediterranean Sea, in company with one of his late tutors. This gen? tleman being unexpectedly promoted to a professorship, abandoned Tressilian at Haden, leaving him to find' another traveling companion. On tbe evening of the very day after this desertion, as Guy Tre^ilian was sauntering through the streets of Baden, j be bad been assaulted by n trio of his . own countrymen, all more or less intoxi- j cated. It was apparent that they took ! bim for auother, and intended to wreak . vengoauce upon him. Without allowing | him io apeak, they forced bim to defend i himself. Guy was gutting the worst of the conflict, when u stranger came run liing to his assistance, and iu a few momenta the two bad put the ruffians to i flight. This stranger who came so oppor- | tuuely to Guy's assistance was Jasper i Lowner. His resemblance to young! Tressilian awakened in the hitter a ro- ! muutie interest. He questioned Low der, learned that he was poor und alone : in the world, and took him with him to his hotel. Believing that the similarity of features indicated a similarity of fustes ? and natures, ho engaged Lowder as his | traveling companion, and the past year they bad spent together more like bro? thers thau like employer and employed. "Thia storm is a regular Levanter," said Lowder, dinging with both banda to the bulwarks. "Do you think the craft will stand it, Tressilian?" "Oh, yes," answeredyonng Tressilian, wiping the salt spray from his face. ri I?II mi ii.ri M.- ^^I^0^j0??im?

Aud-to-morrow, at noon," he added, "wo shall embark for Marseilles in a Messageries Bteamer." "And from Marseilles you will proceed to England and to Tressilian Court," said Lowder, with some bitterness. "And /-what is to become of mo? I have had a year of unalloyed happiness, and now comos back the drudgery, the hopeless toil, the anxieties of the j wretched old life. You picked me up at Baden, a poor adventurer seeking to gain a living by tenchiug English, and the i same destiny is open to me now." Tressilian turned his handsome fuco ! upon his compauion in surprise und uf ' fectiounte reproach. "Jasper!" he exclaimed, "you talk strangely. Do you suppose I have called i you friend and brother so long, and loved jon so well, to lose you now? I meant to have written to my father con? cerning yon and your future, Jasper; ] bat his sudden recall, received yester? day, causes me to return home without ' writing. I shall telegraph from Mar? seilles that yon will como home with I me. And you will, will you not? You will not abandon me, my friend? I will I charge myself with your future. I will see that you obtain tho position to which your talents entitle you. You have no ties to keep you on tho continent?" [ A strange expression passed over Jas? per Lowder's face. "No, I have no ties," he said, huskily. "And you will go home with me?" "What will your father say to my coming?" demanded Lowder. "He will think your generosity Quixotic He will dismiss from his house the hired companion who dares to resemble his son-" ? A Budden lurch of the little vessel, a wave sweeping over the deck, interrupt? ed tho sentence. ! "You wrong my father," Baid Tresil? lian, his blue eyes kindling, when the vessel had righted. "Ho is the noblest man in the world. Ho will welcome my friends as his own. You will love him, Jasper, as I do, when you know him." "He doesn't eeem very affectionate," remarked Lowder. "You havo been away from your borne for five years, uud he has but just recalled youl" Young Tressilliau's cheeks flushed, ns Lowder saw in the lurid glow that mo? mentarily lighted up the tempestuous scene. "You know, or can guess the reason, Jasper," he said, with something of an effort. "My father has a ward, the daughter of an old friend. Ah! heal that wind shriek I The gale is increas? ing!" "Yes," assented Lowder. "And the ward is Miss Irby-the golden-haired Blanche of whom you have talked sc much, and with whom you have ex changed letters?" "Yes. My father formed a project tc have me marry Blanche. He did nol wish us to grow up together, lest wt should learn to regard each other ai brother aud sister. When Blanche carno to live at tho Court, my fathei sent me to Germany. The night before I loft home, he called me into his library and told me all bis hopes and plaus foi my future, and entreated me to con tinue worthy of his innocent ward, ant to keep my heart pure for her. I hav< done so, Jasper. I havo never yet lover any woman. And yesterday I receivet my father's summons to come home He has recalled me after five years o absence. 1 know tho wish that lie: nearest his heart. Ho wants me to re turu uud marry Blanche. I shrink fron the proposed marriage. I dread goiui home. And I dread offending my dea father, whom I love better thau au; woman, lt is hard, Jasper, to revol against the hopes and plans of a kin? and genprous father, whose very love fo me causes him to urge on this marriage!' "Is it?" said Lowder, dryly, and witl a struogo smile full of sneering bitter ness. "My experience has beeu widel; different from yours, Tressiliun. Did ever tell you of my father?" "No. I took it for grunted that h ia dead." "Perhaps he is. I don't know," sal Lowder, with a reckless laugh. "But i he is living, he is a scoundrel. Don' sturt, Tressilian, at my unfilial speed: Wait till you hour my story. I am in desperate mood to-night. This storr stirs np ail the bad within mo. As neat ly as I can discover, my father was th youngor son of a proud old Count family-" "You do not know, then?"askedTrei sitian, pressing his companion's hand. "I have no proofs of it. All I pos lively know is this. My mother was c humble station, pretty, with blue eyi aud nu apple-blossom face, and tende: appealing ways. She was tho daughtt of a widow, residing at Brighton. TL widow, my graud-mother, kept a lod{ iug-house, and my father, a gay, dasi iug young fellow, came to lodge with ho AH might have been expected, ho fell i love, with his landlady's daughter, ld offered the young girl marriage, on coi ditton that the union should be ke] secret until his affairs brightened, ai he chose tn divulge it. The young gi loved him. Her mother was ambitioi and penurious. The result was the lovi hud his way, and married the daughtt of his landlady quietly, almost secretl Then ho took his bride to Loudon, cheap and obscure lodgings, where, year later, I was born." The wind for a moment drowned li voice. As it presently lulled, ho resin ed recklessly, and with passionato bitte noss: "For years my mother and I lived those stuffy, obscure lodgings until h bloom had faded, and she had grov thin and wan and nervous. My lath visited us at stated seasons, onoe twioe a week, bat he never brought ai i of bis family to oalt upon ns. I dou if his ar?Btoorat?o rcmt?vcto'even auopoe? ed the existence ox -ino faded wiio and son of whcttf ho '^"fecoretlj &alj?s& I have good reason to believe th'?fc ho bad One lodgings nt the Weat End, whore he was supposed to be a bachelor, I and that he went into fashionable socie? ty, while my poor mother and I lived obscurely. Ha was A profligate and a roue, but he bad an air of .fashion that awakened my boyish admiration, .and , aroused my mother's affectionate pride in bim. She was always pleading to bo introduced to his relatives, and to have ber son publicly acknowledged. But my father ul ways put her off, saying that be was not yet ready. Worn ont and despairing, my mother died when I was ten years old." Again the wind shrieked past, again the little vessel lurched, the sea sweep? ing her deck. The captain screamed bis orders to his men, and for a few minutes disorder reigned. "A nasty bit of weather!" said Low? den "And a bad sky!" "Yes, but I've seen as bad," returned Tressillian. "Wo shall make port all right, never fear. We must bo well on toward the Cape di Gallo. And it's only seven miles from the Capo to Palermo." "But the seven miles in this storm are worse than seventy in good weather. These coasts are dangerous, Tressilian." Lowder shuddered as he surveyed sea and sky. "But about your fatbor, Jasper?" said Tressilian, who had become deeply in? terested in bis companion's story. "What did he do after your mother's death?" "T remained at the old lodgings with our single old servant a mouth or more, my father visiting me several times, and expressing anxiety as to what be should do with me. A week niter my mother's death, he told me that bis brother woe dead. A month later, his father was killed by being thrown from his horse. My father come into riches nnd honors by these deaths. At last, deciding ta rid himself of me, ho took me dowu to Brighton, to my old grand-mother. Her eons were dead; she bad given up keep? ing lodgers, and was grown miserly. He promised ber five hundred pounds a yeal to keep me, and to keep also the secrel of my paternity, solemnly promising tc acknowledge mo some day as bis son and heir. The old woman ngreed to carry ont his wishes. Sho would have dont anything for money. I never saw ruy fal her again. I went to school, grew up, and at tho age of twenty-one came inte my grand-mother's money, thc fruits ol years of saving, she dying at that time. My father had deliberately abandonee me. I did not know where to seek him, if I had wished to. I took my money and carno abroad. I bad been two yean on the continent, and bad spent my lit tie fortune when I met you. Tho real you know." "Au odd, romantic Btory! But wiij did your father abandon you?" ..I'hat ho might bo freed of encum brance to make a grand marriage. Fron what my grand-mother said at difieren* times, I conclude that my father was ii love with a titled lady before my mo thor's death. No doubt he married thii lady. If he lives, this lady's 6on mai bo his acknowledged heir. My fatho bas utterly disowned the son of bis firs busty, ill-starred marriage. I havo i fancy that I shall meet him some day,' and Jasper's brow darkened to deepe blackness. "However, I stund m chance of ever receiving justice nt hi bauds." "What is your father's name, Jasper? asked Tressilian. Lowder's face darkened. He bit bi lip savagely. "What I have told you about myself learned from my own observation, o from chance words of my parents nm graud-mother. My mother'u maide name was Jeanette Lowder. At on Londou lodgings, my father boro th namo of Lowder. I don't know bis re; name, but I should know his face any where, although I have not seen him i thirteen years. My mother was iictuull married, Tressilian, but I never hear my father's name. The clergyman wb married my mother was dead; the wil uesses also. When my graud-mothe was dying, she tried to tell mo the storj She bad put it off too long. All that could understand of her mumblings wc the name of Devereux. I shall neve forget that iii?mu-'B?Visitisiixi" Probt bly that was my father's name--my ow rightful name. But as I should neve find him if I sought bim, and as L would repulse mo if I did find bim, stand no chance of inheriting bis prope ty. Ho may be dead. He may ha\ other sons who have succeeded him. is all a mystery, but the prominent trnl is that I am un outcast, poor, disowne and friendless." He leaned over tho bulwark, the spn dashing over his face violently. Tressilian's heart warmed to him. "My poor" frii?odl'-' be said, "mast say again you 'aV? not frxoutlless while live. Sly f^tb.?r. bas influence enough obtain for you a Government uppoin mont. This tangle may straighten itse out some day. But if it don't, yon a resolute enough to make your own ha pi ness." He grasped Lowder's hand, and look? with warm, bright eyes, full of syuip thy, into Lowder's lowering face. 'There bad been a temporary lull thu storm. But as the two stood tber tho tempest revived and swept over tl wild .<eu in maddened rage. There was no time for talking no The wind rose so high that words won scarcely havo been distinguished. Tl storm that had gone beforo had be* but play to this awful outburst. Tl vessel drove on, creaking and groanin a more cockle shell on the billows. "Mother of Mercies!" wailed tho ca tain. "It's all ap with ns, sign orea, can't make out the Cape in this dat ness. We shall go cn the rocks. ? Anthony Bave us!" The seamen echoed bis o ries. Tho two young Englishmen, compi betiding their peril, oloaped honda in aiioaoD. ': . : jPc? th? ??xt ??w minnies-it seemed that a Pandemonium reigned. Then a noise like the report of a connon suddenly boomed through the storm and tho darkness. The little ves Bel shivered, staggered, and careened upon her side. She had struok upon a rock. A moment later crew and passengers were struggling in the waters. A few moments of buffetings and toss inga, of vain straggles and agonized, in? voluntary prayer, and then Jasper Low der felt his senses slip from him, and became unconscious. When he cnmo to himself, ho was ly iug upon a rocky bench of the Sicilinu shore, sore, bruised, and weak na a child. Ho opened bin eyes. The wind had Hpent its fury, and now moaned aloDg the coast with a desolate, despairiug wail. The waves beat against the rocks. Lowder struggled to his elbow. "Wrecked!" ho muttered. "I nm cast ashore, while tho others aro drowned ! Oh, this is terrible! I hnvo lost, my best frioud to-night 1" Ho moaned nud wrung his bauds. "He is dead; who would have done so much for me, and I so worthless am saved! Ail my hopea of an easy and lu xor ions life must bo resigned now!" At that moment he beheld a dark ob? ject ot a little distance in the water. The waves hurled this object against tho projecting head of a sunken rock. At tho same instant Lowder recognized it as the body of a man. He crept toward it, and the waters dnahed tho body on the shore at his feet. Ho put his hands on the face. How cold and wet it was! It felt like the face of a dead man! Lowder's fingers came in contact with theBoft, aitken mustache, and ho knew that the body was that of Guy Tressilian ! Of the five who had stood on the sloop's deck a half hour earlier, these two alone were left. Tho captain and bia crew had found their deaths among tho cruel, yawning waters. Lowder thrust his hand under the waistcoat, of his friend, but ho could not perceive tho beating of his heart. De? spair took possession of him. "Dead!" he said shrilly. "Dead! And ho would have dono so much for me if he had lived! And his father and tho young girl ho wns to have married will wait in vain for his coming! His placo at Treasilian Court ia empty. Who can fill it?" It seemed to him that some demon at his sido echoed tho question: Who could Jill the place tefl vacant by noble Uuy Tres sitian? A thought mme to him-a thought so strange and sinister that he shivered in? voluntarily. Again he felt of Tressi lian'a heart. It gave no throb against his hand. Ho passed his limul over Tressillian's head, and discovered a gap? ing wound in the skull. The hair was clotted with blood. Putting his hand into his breast pocket, Lowder drew out his little water? proof match-safe. Ho opened it with trembling fingers and struck a light. The red flicker danced on young Tresailian's face. How ghastly and terrible it looked! Tho eyes were closed, tho smilo waa gone. Tho seal of death seemed set on tho noble features. Lowder examined the wonnd. It had been ruado by contact with the sharp rock, and even Lowder perceived ite terrible character. "If ho ia not dead, he soon will be," he muttered. "His brain hus received an awful injury. Ho will never know who he ?8 again. Ho won't livo till morning, and he is perhaps dead already. He must bo dead!" Again it seemed to him as though some demon echoed his words. Tho match dropped from his fiugerf into the water. For a little while lu crouched on tho wet stones in silence, battling it may be with tho better and nobler instincts of his nuture. At last, with suddon and ubrupt stealth iiv?H.H, his hands stole into the breas: pocket of Tressiliuu, and drew out hil private note-book, a packet of letters, i fow triukets. Ho secured these amour bia own wet garments. Their posses sion seemed to give him courage, nut his face hardened, and he knelt besidi tho body cf his friend and rifled his g*r ments of all- that they contained, bo stowing bia plunder on his own person. Then he took his own purse, his note book, a tew receipts and trifles from hil own pocketa, and put them into Un pockets of Tressiliau. "It ia done!" he whispered to himself looking with wild, defiant eyes througl the darkness. "No one is harmed. II is dead. If ho had lived, he would hav'i provided for me. Aa he is dying o dead, I must provide for myself. Th i likeness between us will make my fortune. His friends will bo spured a terribl grief, and I-I ahull live at last! For tune gives me n chunco togniu neme um wealth nt ono lucky stroke!" AH if to give himself no chance fo repentance, ho arose to his feat am turned his searching glances in au inlaui direction. A light, as from a cottag window, glimmering faintly through tit thick haze, caught his gur.e. Raising his voice, ho called loudly: "Help! Ho, there! help!" The wind had abated, nod his erie rung out through the night with sturl ling distinctness. Thu light he bu l see moved and disappeared. A minute lutei answering cries reached Lowder's t art and hu heard hasty steps, and saw th approaching light of a lantern, horn aloft by a man's upraised arm. "This way!" shouted Powder. "W are wrecked on tho rocks! For the lov of Heaven, hasten!" The bearer of the lantern, attended b a male companion, carno running t him, and was soon at his side. The lar tern bearer was a rough Bioilian flshei man, a grade above his class. Hie con panion was also Sicilian, bat evidently c m~mmmmmmmmmmmmmmlmmmmmmmmmm9mmlmmmw?ES somowhut higher degree. Both were all excitement, astonishment and sympathy. In aa few words aa possible, Lowder told tbe story of th? shipwreck, and called attention to the condition of bis noble young employer. "I think be is dead!" he said, in a choking voice. "Carry him np to your cabin. Let everything be done that can be done to save him. I will pay you well for any kindness to him. Poor fellow! He was my traveling compa? nion. I loved him as if he had beon my brother instead of only my hired attend? ant! Poor Jasper!" Tho two Sicilians lifted tho helpless form of poor young Tressilian, and car? ried it between toward their cottage. Jasper Lowder followed them, bewailing his loss.
