Isn't this to ba,a, now ! liere am I, Jack
Marlin, chief 'engineer of the good ship
Seuille.—au ocean sboarner plying between
Liverpool and New York—dressing for my
wedding, which is te take place m a few
hours, to have a note brought to me, telling
ma of the ehddeu. and dangerous illness of
my assistant engineer and; tried friend,
Torn Raggles.
Whatever is done must be done quickly.
I must go iminediately and see him.
A few minutes' rapid walking brought
me to his little home. I was soon beside
the sick -bed of my friend. He did not even
recognise me, and nay heart sank. A doc.
tor had been summoned, and after examin-
ing Tom said it would simply be impossible
for him to go out with his vessel towaor.
row.
As I gripped the honestland of .my. com-
rade and saw no look of recognition ia the
fever -lit eyes, as his head rolled from side
to side, my heart swelleciand I turned tewa,y
with a sob, and my soul seat up an earnest
prayer that we might yet take many a voy-
age together.
But no time was to be lost.
I hurried to the home of Captain ?flooring
and informed him of what had happened.
Reheard the sad news with genuine regret,
for Tom was a general favorite.
" Yoveltnow. how sorry I am to hear this,
Tack," sajdeOle captain, "but as it can't be
helped, Why, Ws tacky it can be mended.
Only a fest hours ago a very likely looking
fellow came to me and asked me If I had a
plaeo on board I could give him, at the
same time showing me some excellent
papers. I told him no, and he then said. he
was willing to work his way as a common
eciaman, or in any way I said. He seemed
very anxious to ship with me. I'll send for
him right away, and tell him to get ready
to go with us to -morrow. But it's getting
close on to your glancing time, Jack, and I
see you are getting nervous—and who
wouldn't? Go ahead, my hearty, and don%
forget to tell Mita Kitty to save a km for
P30. 1'11 follow yea as soon as I send this
message.
And the bluff, big-hearted old fellow gave
me a. slap on my back and a shove towards
the door.
I went back to my lodgings, put the last
splicing in my rigging, and was at my eweet-
heare's house in good time. I won't try to
describe my darling. to you. I'll only say
she was oue of the fewest mud, sweetest girls
in the kingdom. She was rather small, and
her movements were as quiek and graceful
RS fairy's. We had been sweethearts for
years and, now at last we were to be mar -
lea, and. Kitty was going aboard the
Seville to -morrow, to take her bridal trip to
Now York.
The guests have arrived, the ceremony is
performed the breakfast is partaken of, and
Kitty—mine new forever—and I lead off
the dance. At last the gueats are all gone,
and Kitty and I are loft alone. She has
gone into the next room for a moment, and
I sit as ono M a happy, blissful dream,
when suddenly she utters a. shriek. With
bound I am at the door' where Kitty meets
me and throws herselftrembling into my
•
arms.
"What is the twitter, my darling ?" I
aak tenderly, holding her close.
"0 Jack. 1" she whispered, clinging to

at the evandow, and, he gave me the t terrible

"Gaspard, Saronne," she replied.

he gave her a look which made her heart

"1 swear to you that you shall never

The next moment he turned away and
was gone, and when, a few days later,

pool, she hoped she had seen the last of him,
And here he had come like an evil spirit to
mar the happiness of her wedding night.

she seemed almost to have forgotten her
fright
11.
I was on board, the Seville early the next
morning and saw that everything was all
Weglifand runningsmoothly below. My new
assistant had not yet put in his appearance
when I went on shore again to get Kitty.
As we came on board she grasped my arm
with painful force, and looking down into
her face I saw that it was very pale, and
sbe pointed nervously across the vessel and
whispered:
"There he is now, Jack; there he is !"
"Who?" Indeed.
"Gaspard Saronne, " she faltered.
I looked quickly in the diiecbion she
pointed, and saw, leaning against the rail
Of the vessel, apparently looking out across
the water, a striking -looking man—tall,
dark, and handsome. He was as fine a
specimen of physical manhood as I had even
seen, as he stood there with his arms fold-
ed wrest' Ks breast, apparently taking no
heed of anything passing around.
"I will take you to your room and come
back and find out what he is doing here,
sweetheart, " I said.
As I came on deck again I met Ornatitin
Mooring, who said to me:
"Here, Jack, I was just looking for you
to introduce you to your new assistant,"
and leading the way to were the motion-
less figure stood said: "Mr. •Saronne, this
is my chief engineer, Mr. Marlin. I hope
you two geatlemen will pull together nice.
Was it because of what Kitty had told
me that I felt such a repugnance to this
man; that as I shook his nand I felt as
!bough I had caught hold of a serpent;
that as I looked into his dark. eyes I felt as
mo might feel who look sinto some dark,
foul pool which bag connected. with it the
story of a crime? No; I felt as though this
had nothing to do with it. But I mastered
toy feelings and gave no sign. It was too
sate now, and I would make the most of it,
After all, it might be only prejudice.
We went together to the engine -room,
and I soon 'discovered that be understood,
%is duties thoroughly. Fie strove to make
efinself agreeable, and when I went back to
KittyI was almost ashamed of my first feel-
inge. I attempted to reassure her, but she
seemed ill at ease, and again and again ex-
pressed her regret thab Saronne should have
been taken on board with as.
All went well with us, beeteeeer, and the
. following night, about tea o'clock, I went
dews' to make my rounds of the engine -
room. Saronne accompanied me, and whets
we had made the rounds of the upp r rooms
he suggested that we go'doven in to the lower.
We accordingly went. Leading the way to
the far end of the dark room with alantern,
he paused and asked inc if I did not think
a certain piston was running rather heavily.
1 listened, and, told him I thought it did,
and asked hint for the lantern, that I might
examine it. De was near the floor, and
bad to stoop to see it. I Jamul it needed
oiling badly and said so, at the same time
asking where 13111 Stone was. I glanced
UJ) into the face of my conmenion as 1 asked
the question, and the blood, thrilled to me
heart in. A tide. He was bending over ine
and the look in his eyes was like that of a
basilisk. Never before had I seen such a
look on a. human face, and I pray I never
may again. I strove to rise, but his hands
were at my throat, and, as he bore me to
the floor, he hissed e
" 13111 Stone and the others have been
drinking to the health and happiness of you.
and your bride, and 1 pat something in their
grog that will znak.e them sleep until they
and all the rest of you wake up in another
country !" e
As lie spoke, he laughed a wild, blood -
muffling laugh, and his fingers seemed, to
bury themselves in my flesh. In vain I
struggled with superhuman strength. He
was more than a match for me on equal
terms, and he had Mimi Inc ab a disadvant-
age. I struck him in the face agaiii and
again, but his fingers only tightened their
clap, and, viththat fiendish, maniacal laugh
ringing in my ears, I lost consciousness.
I was restored by having water dashed in
roy face. On opening my eyes and looking
around I found myself lying in almost the
same spot where I lay before. I was bound
nand and foot and gagged, and eller°, stand-
ing in front of me, with a diabolical look of
triumph on his face holding a bucket in his
hand, was Gaspard Seronne.
" Excuee me for reviving you so rudely,"
he said, with a mock bow, " but I did not
want yen to lose count of what was passing;
I knew you would enjoy it. And now I'll
proceed to .how you whet nay programme
Is. 1 have so arranged that gradually the
boiler will be emptied, aboub which time
cold water will pour in, a slight explosion
will follow, and the sides of the veesel will
be blown out like the sides of an old tub,
and every soul on board except Kitty and
myself will sink to the bottom. I'm rather
sorra that Kitty made it neceasary for me
to di; this," he went on, holding his head.
on one side and looking at me with ft leer,
"but Iwarned her against marryiug you, and
Gaspard. Saronne is always as good as his
word. I have drugged the stokers and.
several others who might have given me
trouble, and now the way is clear. It will
be a grand sight to see this slap blow up,
and Kitty and 1 will enjoy it from our boat
several miles off. And now I'll put you in
closer quarters. I only wanted to give
you the pleasure of hearing what I intended
to do,"
And taking held of my feet he dragged
Inc to one side of the room, opened the door
of the lumber closet, where tools, oil -cans,
tn., were kept, and threw me in.
111.
As the mean= closed the door, and the
horror of it all rushed upon no, I fainted.
How long 1 remeined so I do not know.
When I regained consciousness I tried to
sit up. I managed to get upon my knees,
and prayed as I never prayed before.
In my agony I raised my hands above my
head, and as I did so they struck against a
piece of revolving shafting which extended
into theoloeet, and cisme an coutact with a
strong iron pully attachecl to it and which
connected with the machinery outside.
My knuckle struck against tho edge of
this little wheel and was slightly oat.
Like a flash from heaven, 11 came to me
that this was my means of deliverance, not
only for myself—that seemed almost a
small matter now—but for my darling and
the scores of souls on board. My wrists
were tightly bound with a small, strong
cord, which was already beginning to out
into the flesh. I pressed this cord, stead-
ily and firmly against the rapidly revolving
wheel. In a few moments so much heat,
was generated by the friction that I was
compelled to remove it.
Again and again I pressed the oord to
the edge of the wheel, and after what ap-
peared to me to be hours, but which was
really only a few minutes, the cord snapped
with the strain I put upon it, and my lianas
were free. I quickly removed the gag
from my mouth, and with my penknife cut
the chords which bound my ankles and
rose to my feet. Holding my little knife in
one hand.. I groped M the dark until I
found a hammer, andand then felt for the
latch of the door. Finding it, I lifted it
pushed the door.
It was locked—secured with a stock lock
on my aide. This I struck off N,vitli several
heavy blows of the hammer, dashed the door
open and stood again in the engine -room,
fully expecting the madman t spring upon
me as I did so.
But he was gone.
Oaly the throbbing of the greet machinery
kept time to thethrobbing of my heart. My
knees trembled as I hurried to the spot
where Gaspard had shown me his devil -sug-
gested arrangement for the destruction of
the vessel. Already I heard that peculiar
sound made by the gauge cook, which told
of danger. My hand trembled so I could
scarcely do what was necessary to save the
ship, and when it was done I staggered to
a seat aud fell M it almost fainting. But in
a moment I recovered, and rushed towards
the stairway leading to the deck. Even
now I might be too late. The maniac might
have murdered Kitty or left the vessel with
her.
As I mounted the last step on to the deck
I saw a dark form passing rapidly towards
the bow of the boat.
The moon was shining, partly obscured
by clouds, but I could see that it was the
form of a man with some burden in his
arms. As my eyes became more accustomed
to the light I sew that it was the figure of
evoinan he was carrying, and I felt that it,
was Saronne with Kitty in his earns, pre-
paring to leave the vessel. With a wild
cry I rushed towards him. He had just
reached the foremast when my cry reaohed
him. He turned, saw me coming, wheeled
quickly, and with the .apparently lifeless
form of Kitty on one arm, mounted the
ladder, and was ab the cross -tree before I
reached the foot of the mast.
Mad with rage and fear for Kibby I began
to mount the ladder, when suddenly it fell
upon me to the deck. Springing to ray feet
I looked up and saw the madman flourish -
a gleaming knife in his band, with which
he had severed the ropes, and laughing that
wild, mad laugh. ,
Several persons had been roused by my
cry-, and soon a circle had formed about the
foot of the mast. Among the first was
Captain Mooring, whom I told in as few
words as possible all that had passed. I
was almost wild wibh fear. Kitty had not
spoken a word and had shown no signs of
life. .Had the fiend murdered her?
- "Kitty 1" I cried. " Kitty, my darling,
speak to me 1" '
As though my frantic appeal 'had roused
her, she stirred and moaned, and then; as
coneciousnese returned, she atretelied her
arnis towards me and begged me to save
her. I rushed to tne mast and throwing
my arras about it, attempted to climb up,
when Saronne said
"If any man attempts to come lip here I
will plunge this knife in her heart 1"
I staggered, back with a groan.
"Capbain 1" I cried, wildly, "save my
darling for me. Save her 1"
"We will savener, Jack," he said sooth.
ingly. "Never fear." -
The madman laughed again.
"Ia any ODe in this company a good.
enough shot to shoot that fellow without
fear of striking Mrs, Narilo ?" asked the
Captain, turning to those about him.
There was no reply, and I shrank from
the idea svith a shudder. The minutes drag-
ged heevily aa, as various miggestioust were
offered. After that first appeal to me
Kitty had remained very quiet, and ouly
when the noon shone out brightly from
behind clouds, I could see her looking at
me with a world of love in her sweet eyes.
Finally Saronne grew weary of one posi-
tion, and in order to move, looseued his
hold of Kitty. That was the element she
had been praying for, With one quick
movement ahe caught a rope and was glid-
ing towards the deck. Saronne turned, saw
whet had happened, and with a. terrible cry
severed the rope with one powerful sweep
of tee knife. But too late. I had seen it
all end was standing tinder my darling. She
was almost within reach when he ant the
rope, and as she fell1 caught her safely in
my arms. ThenI hoard some one yell.
"Look out he's coining 1"
I looked up end saw that &mune had
caught another rope, and, with the knife
between his teeth, was rapidly nearing the
deck. To put Kitty behind ma and catcall
up the hammer which had fallea was the
work of an instant. But even as I drew
back to strike him, the reporb of a pistol
sounded, and Saronne strack the deck on
his feet, bounded like a ball and fell at full
length, the blood spouting from his breast.
Be strove to rale, as he fixed an me one of
his terrible looks, but fell back and died
without a groan.
We afterwerds learned that Saronne had
been for several years an inmate of a luna-
tic asylum in France, but ha,d been pro-
nounced cured and been released.
4Vhen we returned to Liverpool, my old
friend, Tom Ruggles, was the first man to
step on board, and since then we have taken
many a voyage together.
Years have passed eine° that awfulnight,
and Kitty and 1 aro approaching our last
haven, but she never hears it mentioned
without shuddering. She had retired and
was asleep when the madman came into our
cabin and chloroforme(1 ber and carded her
out, and my voice, as I spoke te her, was
the first sound she had heard. And she
carries yet scars in the palm of her hand
from whieh the skin was torn as she came
down the rope.
HOW IT FEE LS TO BE BURIED.
The Sensationo r n il—ta—nWhe lay for Three
Moues in. Ills Grave.
" wager the wine there is not a gentle-
man present who eau mess within ten years
of any age," said Calym S. 1?reetnan, who
sat talking. with some fellow travelling men
in St. Lotus, tbe other day. The guesses
ran all the way from 48 to 65,
"1 am just, 24 years old," said Mr. Free-
man. "1 was born in 1S58. I grew old hi a
day. I have passed through the numb ter-
rible ordeal to which a mortal eves ever sub-
jected—I was buried alive and lay in tho
grave, with six feet of earth on top of me, for
nearly throe hours. That was at Edinburgh,
Scotland, nearly nine years ago. I was born
it that city. At the age of 24 I married a
girl who had been my playmate in child-
hood. A year later X was taken sick, and,
after an illness of but two days, was pro-
nounced dead, and preparations were made
for my burial.
"I was as conscious as at this momen t, but
unable to speak or move a muscle. A
great weight seemed to lie on my chest and
eyelids. All that night and until 10 o'clo alc
nexbday I lay with a cloth over my face,
listening to the preparations for my inter-
ment. At that hour I was placed in a coffin
the funeral services were read, and I was
ennsignod to the grave. There was no
stifling sensation, for I bad ceased to breathe
but the black loneliness of those hours
haunts me day and night. I felt that I
would come out of the trance state before
death ensud, wc.uld slowly smother to
death, and the thought added horror to my
situation. Iliad read of graves being open-
ed where people had been buried alive, and
how they had torn their flesh with their
nails and turned over in their coffins in a
mad struggle for air. I wondered if there
was any way by which I could quietly de-
stroy myself when nature asserted its sway.
F,very hour seemed to me as days. It was
Tnesday when I was buried, and I fancied
I could hear the Sunday chimes of the
church which stood. a few yards distant. I
wondered who my neighbor was ou the
right and who on the left, and if they, too
were buried alive. I wondered if there
really was such a thing as death, or if I was
to lie conscious in that prison forever.
" Suddenly I felt a muscle twitch. It is
coming now, I thought. A minute more and
I will be ebruggling for breath. I felt a
faint flatter at the heart I gave a little
gasp, and the air seemed freighted with
lead. I tried to breathe, bob it was like
drawing fetid water into my lungs. I had
resolved not to move a muscle, to die with
my hands folded en my breast; so that if
my body was ever taken up my friends
would not anspect the awful truth, but I
could not lie still. The struggle began, and
I fought in my narrow prison house as a
man fights on/leder life. Horrible as it was,
I seemed to hear my'wife's voice ringing in
my ears. It was a cry of agony. I tried to
answer it, but could not.
"A succession of thnuder peals shook my
prison house. It was the heavy blows of
axes breaking open the box which contain.
ed the coffin. I moment later I was lying
on the churchyard swar& in my wife's arms.
After my interment she conceived the notion
that I had been buried alive, and, to quiet
her fears the grave was opened. I went into
the grave a young man, and came out aged,
