He was puzzled by the 'teenier ana- ninety of purpose displayed„ by his shipmates. But that was their affair. His was to insure Iris' safety. The future be must leave to Providence. And, indeed, Providence contrived things very differently. By nightfall the launch was a hun- dred miles west of the island. Norrie got eight knot* out of her, but It need- ed no special calculation to discover that she would barely make the coast of Brasil If she consumed, every onnee of coal and wood on board.

During the day they had sighted three vessels, but at such distances that signaling was useless. Moreover, they had to be cautious. The cruiser, trusting to her speed, might try a long cast north and south of the launch's supposed path. The hours of daylight were tortured by constant fear. Ewen Iris was glad when the darkness came and they were hidden. At o'clock in the morning, by Vowel reckoning, they were midway between island and continent They were all wide awake, too weary and miserable to sleep. Suddenly a fog- horn emote the oppressive gloom. It drew near. A huge blotctr crossed their bows. Tbey heard some order given in a foreign language, and De Sylva whispered: "The Sao Geroolmo!

Buttner, despite his sixty-eight years, was an acute man of business. Moreover, be was blessed with a retentive memory, and he treasured every word of the bogus message, from Iris concocted by her uncle. The storm had burst unexpectedly. Balmer came to dinner, ate andedrank and smoked in quiet amity until Da- vid's laboring muse conveyed his niece's latest "kind love an' good wishes,' and then" - "Tell yon wot," said Dickey, "there's another five thousand due tomorrow oa the surveyor's report." "There fit," said Verity, knowing that his guest and prospective partner alluded to the new steamer in course of construction on the Clyde. 'Well, It won't be 'paid. You are lyIn' about Iris. You've been 'yin' ever since she disappeared from Bootle. Show me 'er letters an' their envelopes, an' I'll find the money. But of course you can't. Tbey don't exist" Then David set down the uptaated wine and told the truth. Not all -that was not to be dreamed of. In the depths of his heart be feared Balmer. The old man's repute for honesty was -widespread. He would fling his dear- est eerest friend Into prison foretucb a swin- dle ad that *mowed between Coke sad the shipowner. Dickey rem trona the table. His movements *bowed his age that night "I'1' think it over, David," he said. 'There's more in this than meets the eye." So here was Verity with no shred of hope in bis mind that tits one time crony would raise a finger to save him from bankruptcy.

A note of pathos la added to the tragedy by the undoubted presence of a lady on board. probably De Bylva's daughter, thgttgh tt was believed here that the ex- t'• family were In Paris. Telegrams from the Island are strictly censored. and he foregoing ltatement is unomcial, but your correspondent does not question its gen- eral accuracy. Indeed. he has reason to credit a widespread rumor that the Island in still in a very disturbed condition. No one knows definitely whether or not De Sylva has beenerecaptured. It is Quite certain that he has not landed In Brasil, but the reticence of the authorttles as to the state of ,.Hairs on Fernando Noronha leads to the assumption that he and a few stanch adherents aro still In hiding In one of the many natural fastaesaee with which the island abounds. The British community on the littoral is deeply stirred by the drastic treatment received by the Andromeda.

In any event, the whole matter must be strictly ,'In- quired into, and one of his majesty's ships stationed In the south Atlantic should visit the Island at the earliest date possi- ble. Delayed In transmission Something buzzed inside Verity's bead and stilled W sense of actuality. He gazed at the reporter unblinkingly, as tbough thougbt itself refused to act "Is that the lot?" be inquired me- chanically. "Nearly all, at present. Here, how- ever, is a short telegram from Paris which is of minor interest" And Verity read again: Paris. Sept t. The members of Dom Corria de Sylva's family, seen early this morning at the Hotel Continental, deny that any lady connected with the carate of Brazilian freedom took part In the attempted rescue., of the ex -president They are much an- noyed by the unfounded report and hold strongly to the opinion that the revolu- tion would now hake been a fait accompli had not a traitor revealed the destination of the Andros -y -Mels and thus led to that vessel's detention at Bahia. The lady! Iris Yorke! At last Da- vid's stipdreharged mind wee begld- ning to assimilate Ideas. The journal- ises voice came to him as through a dense screen. "You will observe that the former president's relatives tacitly admit that there was a plot on foot," the other was saying. "It is important to note, too, that the long message from Per- nambuco, marked delayed In trans- mission; seems to imply a prior tele- gram wbich was suppressed. It. al- ludes to a revolt of which nothing is known here. Now, Mr. Verity, 1 want to ask you" - Tie door was flung open. In rushed Dickey Balmer. In his bands he held a crumpled newspaper. "Yon infernal blackguard, have you seen this?" be roared. David stood up. He held on to the table to steady himself. Even Balmer, white with rage, could not fail to see that he wai stunned. ' But Dickey was not minded to spare him on that seconnt "Answer the, you scoundrel!" be ►touted. "You are glib enough when it suits your purpose. Were you in this?

"If she's dead it doesn't" "D'ye mean It?" "I always mean wot I say." The click of an indicator on the desk showed that Verity's private telephone had been switched on from the gen- eral office.

The subeditor of the newspaper whose representative had not been gone live minutes asked if be was speaking to Mr. Verity. "Yes," said David. "Wot's up nowt and he motioned to Bulmer to use a second receiver.

SPOIE TO A CHOST Queer Incident In Which Bishop Wilberforce Figured. THE STORY THE SPIRIT TOLD. Singular Disclosure That Was Said a Have Been Made by the Quiet Cleri- cal Specter That Had Long Haunted an English Country House. The followiug remarkable incident 1e. the life of the late Samuel Wilberforce. bishop of Oxford and afterward of Winchester, Is related as absolutely an- tteotic, and the good bishop himself 1s said to have many ties rehearsed the story to his friends: On a certain occasion the worthy bishop had accepted an Invitation to stay at a country house not far from London. 'Entering the drawing room previous to dinner on the evening of his arrival, he noticed a clergyman sit- ting by the open firs and taking no part in the general conversation. the bishop was somewhat surprised at not being presented to the clergyman, and his astonishment was great when a few moments later, dinner being an- nounced. the guests retired, leaving the clergyman a,t his place by the tire. The hostess having assigned Ili:liop Wil- berforce the seat of honor et her right band, as soon as an opportnoity offer- ed he remarked: "I beg your pardon, madam. but may I inquire who was the clergyman we left sitting in the drawing room?" "Ab, you have seen him, then?" re- plied the lady. "It 1s not every one who has that privilege. l cannot tell you wbo be 1s or wbeuce he comes. For many years this specter has haunt- ed the house^and grounds. 1t has, in fact been a tradition In the family. He seems to do no harm, and, although be appears only occaslooally, we have be- come quite accustomed to our friendly ghost" "How very singular!" remarked bis lordship. "But have you never ad- dressed your specterr "Indeed. I have had no opportunity. nor the desire, for that matter," re- sponded the bootees, growing pale. "May I take the Hberty nowr in- quired the dignitary. "With all my heart, your lordship." replied the lady., The bishop arose and, returning to the drawing room, found the clergyman where be bad lett him a few minutes before. Hav- ing no fear, the bishop said kindly: "Who are you. my friend, and why are you here?" The specter seemed to sigh deeply and gay as though to Itself, "At lasts Then in a bollow voice. addressing the bishop, it continued: "I am the spirit of a clergyman who left tits world some elgbty years ago, and I am here to Impart to any one wbo will receive it a secret wbich died with me.
