For she had resolved to keep da Farrieres’ •sent to herself from tbs moment that she bad unwittingly discovered it, aad to do this and still be able to watch over him without her father’* knowledge required acme emotion. She was conscious of his strange aversion to the unfortunate man without understanding the reaeon, but a* Mia was In the habit of entertaining his caprices mom from affectionate tolerance of Ms weakness than reverence of his judgment, she saw no disloyalty to him in withholding a confidence that might be disloyal to another. "It won't do father any good to know it," she said to herself, "and if It did It oughtn't to," she added with triumphant feminine logic. But the impression mads upon bar by the spec tacle she had just witnessed was stronger than any other consideration. The revela tion of do Ferric re*’ see ret poverty seemed % chapter from a romance of her own Weaving; for a moment it lifted the mis erable hero oat of the depths of his folly and selfluhnees. She forgot the weakness •f the man In the strength of his dramatic surroundings. It partly satisfied a crav ing she had felt; it waa not exactly the story of the ship, as the had dreamed it, but it was an episode in bar experience of ft that broke its monotony.

He was asleep, but she was astounded to find that In the Interval he had managed to dress himself completely in Ms anti quated finery. It was a momentary shock to the Illusion she had been foster- bat she forgot U in the pitiable eon- 1 Ms haggard fare and his loir sad beard, the jaunti- of Ms attire and the eoDapee of his invalid figure. When she had satis fled herself that Ms sleep waa natural, she herself softly in arranging the mis- partment. With a few feminine touches she removed the slovenliness of ■leery, sad placed the loose material and ostentatious evidences of hi* work on on# side. Finding that be still slept, and knowing the Importance of this natural mediation, ska placed the refreshment the had brought by his side and noise lessly quitted the apartment. Harrying through the gathering darknaas between decks, abs once er twice thought she had hoard footsteps aad paneed, but, encoun tering noons, attributed the impression to her over consciousness. Yet she thought ft prudent to go to the galley tint, where she fingered a few moments before re turning to the cabin. On entering she was a Httle startled at shserving a figure seated at her father’s desk, but was re lieved at finding it waa Mr. Kenahaw. He rose and put askle the book be had idly picked up. "I am afraid I am not an intentional intruder this time, lilsa Nott. But I found go one here, and I was tempted to look into this shipshape little snuggery. You see the temptation got the better of me." Hie voice and smile were so frank and pleasant, so free from his previous re straint yet still respectful, so youthful yst manly, that Roney waa affected by them even in her preoccupation Her eyas befghtensd and then dipped before Ms admiring glance. Had she known that the excitement of the last few hoars *>*d j brought a wonderful charm into her pretty face, had aroused the slumbering ; life of her half wakened beauty, she would hara been more confused. As It was she waa only glad that tbs young man should turn out to be "filer." Per haps he might tell her something about eMps; perhaps if she had onlv known him longer she might, with ds Fsmeres’ per mission, have shared her confidence with Mm ana enlisted his sympathy and assist ance. She contented herself with show ing this anticipatory gratitude in bar face as she begged him, with the timidity at a maiden hoe tees, to resume his seat. Bat Mr. Rena haw seemed to talk only to make her talk, and I am forced to ad mit that Roeey found this almost as pleasant. It was not long before he was In possession of her sjmple history from tt» day of her baby emigration to Cali fornia to tb* transfer of ksr childish life to the old ship, and even of much of the romantic fancies she had woven into her existonee them. Whatever ulterior pur pose he had In view, he listened as at ten- ti tidy ns if het artless chronicle was Ailed with practical Information. Once, when she Iiad paused tor brenth, he said grave ly, "I must ask you to show me over this wonderful ship some day that 1 may see it with your eyes." "But I think yon know it already better than I do,” said Roeey with a smile. Mr, Renshaw’i brow clouded slightly. "Ah,” ha aafll, with a touch of Mb former restraint; "and why?” "Wen," eaid Roeey timidly, "I thought you went round and ton eked things in n familiar way aa if yon had handled them one In the first flush at mui yonng people are apt to flnffa^ugh quite as slgidflcr.nt ns a sigh for un expression of sympathetic cetnimiaton, and this master stroke of wit convulsed them both. In the midst of it Mr. Nott entered the cabin. But the complacency with which he viewed the evident perfect understanding of the pair was destined to snffer soma abatement. Rosey, suddenly conscious that she was in some way participating in rid icule of lief father through his unhappy gift, became enibarraseed. Mr. Ren- shaw’s restraiut returned with the pres ence of the old man. In vain, at first, Abner Nott strove with profound levity to indicate bis arch comprehension of the sitoation, and in vuin, later, becoming alarmed, he endeavored, with cheerful gravity, to iudicate his utter oblivious ness of any but a business sign I flea nee in in their teto-i -tete. "I oughtn’t to hev intruded, Rosey," be said, “when yon and the gentleman were talkin’ of contracts, mebbee; bat den’t mind me. I’m on the fly, anyhow, Rosey dear, hevln’ to see a man round the corner." But even tho attitude of withdrawing dM not prevent the exit of Kenahaw to his apartment and of Honey to the galley. Left alone in the cabin, Abner Nott felt In the knots and tangles of his beard for a reason. Glancing down at bis prodig ious boot*, which, covered with mod and gravel, strongly emphasised his agricul tural origin, him! gave him a general ap pearance of standing on his own broad acres, he was struck with an Idea. "It’S — them boots," he whispered to Kfu?; ‘‘ tb «7 "S^now don’t seem ’xaetty to trump or follow suit in this yer cabin; they don't hitch into anythin’, but Jlst slosh round loose, and, so to speak, play It alone. And ’hem young critters nat*- rally fuels it n.id gets out o’ the way." Acting u[h/u this instinct with his usual precipitate caution, be at once proceeded to the nearest second hand shop, and, purchasing a pair of enormous carpet slippers, originally ths property of a gouty sea captain, reappeared with n strong suggestion of newly upholstering tho cabin The improvement, however, was fraught with a portentous circum stance. Mr. Nott’i footsteps, which usually announced his approach all over the ship, became stealthy and inaudible. Meantime Miss Rosey had token advan tage of the abaence of her father to visit her patient. To avoid attracting atten tion shedid not take a light, but groped her way to the lower deck and rapped softly at the door. It was instantly opened by de Ferrieree. He had appar- •ntly appreciated the few changes she had already mode in the room, and had him self cleared away ths pallet from which he had risen to make two low seats against the wall. Two bits of candle placed on the floor illuminated the beams above, the dressing gown was srtistioally draped over the solitary chair, aud a pile of cushions formed another seat. With elaborate courtesy ha handed Mias Rosey to ths chair. He looked pals and weak, though the gravity of the attack had evi dently passed. Yst he persisted hi re maining standing. "It I sit,” he ex plained with a gesture, "I shall again dis grace myself by sleeping in mademoiselle's presence. Yesl I shall sleep—I shall drsara—and wake to find her goner* More embarrassed by his recovery than when be was lying helplessly before her, sbe said hesitatingly that she was glad he was better, and that she hoped he liked the broth. "It was manna from heaven, mademoi selle. See, I have taken it all—every pre cious drop. What else could I have done for roademolaelle’e kindness?" Us showed her the empty bowl. A swift conviction came upon her that the man had been suffering from want of food. The thought restored her self possession even while it brought the tears to her •ye* "I wish you would let me speak to father—or some one," she said impulsive ly, and stopped. A quick and half Insane gleam of terror and ans;>icion lit np his deep eyes. "For what, mademoiselle? For an accident— that is nothing—absolutely nothing, for I am strong and well now—see!" he Mid tremblingly. “Or for a whim—for a folly yon may say, that they will misunder stand. No, mademoiselle is good, is wise. She will My to herself, ‘I understand, my friend Monsieur ds Ferrieres for tbs mo ment boa a secret. He would seem poor, he would take the role of artisan, he would shot himself up in these walls— perhaps I may guess why, but it is Ms secret. I think of it no more.'" He caught her hand in his with a gesture that he would have made one of gallantry, but that in its tremulous Intensity became a piteous supplication. "I have said nothing, and will My nothing, If you wish tt," said Rosey hastily; "but others may find out how you live here. This is not fit work for yon. Yon soetn to be a—a gentleman. You ought to ban lawyer, or a doctor, in a bank," she continued tfjblldly, with a vague enumeration si lb* ptcvailing de gree* oflbcal gentility. Bn dropped 'her hand. "Ah' dors not mademoiselle comprehend that It is be cause I am a gentleman that there Is nothing between it and this? Lookl" he eontinned almost fiercely. "What if told yon it is the lawyer, tt is the doctor, tt is the banker that brings me, a gentle man, to this, eh? Ah, bah? What do I My? This is honest, what 1 dol But the lawyer, the banker, the doctor, what ore they?" Ke shrugged his shoulders, and pacing ths apartment with a furtive glance at the half anxious, half frightened girl, suddenly stopped, dragged a small portmanteau from behind the heap ef bales and opened it. “Ixiok, mademoi selle," he said, tremulously lifting s hand ful of wen and soiled letters and papers. “Look—these are the tools of your banker, your lawyer, your doctor. With this the hanker will make yon poor, the lawyer will prove you a thief, the doctor will swear you are craxy, eb? What shall yon call iho work of a gentleman—this’’—he draggisl tho plloof cushions forward—“or this?" To tho young girl's olwervant eyes some of the papers appeared to be of a legal or oflirlat chariKtcr, and others like bills of India 1 ;, with which she was familiar. Their half theatrical exUlbitlou reminded her of some piny she had seen; they might be the clew to some story, or tb* mere worthless hoardings at a diseased fancy. Whatever they were, de Fsrrieras did not apparently ear* to explain further; in deed, the next moment his Mannar changed to Ms old absurd extravagance. "But this Is stupid for umriemnleeHe to hear. What shall we speak ef? Ah? what should we speak of to made moiselle’s presence.’” “But era not these panel* valuable?” boektol ‘•Perhaps."

"Father will wonder when I am." "I shall explain. I will accompany yon, mademoiselle.’ "No, no," aakl Roeey, quickly; “he must not know I have been here!" She ■topped. The honest blush flew to her cheek, aud then returned again, because she had blushed. De Ferrieres gased at her with an ex alted look. Then drawing himself to his fall height, be said, with an exaggerated and Indescribable gesture, "Go, my child, go. Tell your father that yon have been alone sad unprotected in the abode of poverty and suffering, but—that (t eras in the presence of Armand ds Ferrieres.’ He threw open the door with a bow that nearly swepS the ground, but did not (gain offer to take ksr hand. At ones Impressed and embarrassed at this crown ing Incongruity, her pretty Up trembled between a smile and a cry os she said, "Good night," and slipped away into tha darkness. Erect sad grotesque ds Ferrieres re tained the same attitude until the sound of her footstep* was lost, when he slowly began to close the door. But a strong arm arrested it from without and a large carpeted foot appeared at the bottom of the narrowing opening. The door yielded and Mr. Abner Nott entered the room. (To be continued) W. C.
