"You are better now," said Roeey
quickly, “and noons need know anything

He flashed faiatly and averted his eyes.

round the miserable room.
"And mademoiselle is an angel."

and her absence had been unnoticed. For
she had resolved to keep da Farrieres’

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

Weaving; for a moment it lifted the mis

and selfluhnees. She forgot the weakness

story of the ship, as the had dreamed it,
but it was an episode in bar experience of

At the end of aa hour she again knocked
softly at the door, aarrying soma light
nourishment she had prepared for Mm.
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

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?”

riedly, rising with aa awkward sense 4
constraint. "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

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.
