CHAPTER XXXIX.-(Ceuta)
When the will was read it affirmed
that Herr Sivertsen, evho had no
relations living, had indeed left his
property to Frithiof, The willwas
terse and eccentric in the extreme,
and seemed . like one of the old
Man's own speeches, ending with
the familiar words, "for he is one
of the few honest and hard-working
men in, a despicable generation."
Naturally there was only one way
to which Frithiof could think of pute
ting his legacy. Every penny of it
went straight to his debt -fund. Mr,.
Horner heard of it and groaned.
"What!" he exclaimed, "pay away
the principal; hand': over thousands
of pounds in payment of debts that
are not even his own --debts that
don't affect his name 1 He ought to
put the money into this business,
.Bonifaco ; it would only be a fitting
way of showing you his. gratitude."
He put into the business what I
value far more," said Mr. Boniface.:
.r "He put' into it his honest Nor-
wegian heart, and this legacy will
save him manyyears of Bard, weary
work and anxiety."
When summer came it was ar-
ranged that they should go to Nor-
way, and Frithiof went about his
work with such an air of relief and
contentment, that had it not been
or one hidden anxiety .Sigrid's
happiness would have lzeen cone-

seemed to have any suspicion of it
at all, and Sigrid of course could
not speak, partly because she was
Frithiof's sister, partly because she
had a strong feeling that to allude
to that matter would be to betray
Cecil unfairly. One evening it
chanced; that the brothel and sis-
ter were alone for. a few minutes
during the intervals of an amateur
concert, whiclj CeciLhad been asked
to get up, at -Whitechapel. _ t
"How do you think it has gone
Off?" said Sigrid, as he sat down
beside her in the little inner room.
"Capitally; Cecil ought to be
congratulated," he replied. "1 am
glad's-he has had it on hand, for it
must have taken her thoughts off
the children "' •
"Yes," said Sigrid; `ranything
that docs that is worth something."
"Yet she 'seems to ins to have
plenty of interests," said Frithjof.
`She is never idle she is a great
reader."
"Do you think books would ever
satisfy a woman like Cecil?" ex-
claimed sigrid.

by something unusual in her tone.
"Oh," he said, teaeing"lys "you

exist without the equivalent of Roy

house and 'garden."

And Sigrid, looking at his eager,
blue eyes, and remembering_ his,
brave struggles and long , exile,
could not find it in her heart to be„,
angry with him any more.
•Certainly, for mazy'. years 'he had
known nothing like the happiness
of that voyage, with its bright
expectation, its sense of relief. On
the Wednesday night he slept lit-
tle, and very early in the morning
was up on the wet and shining
deck eagerly looking at the, first
glimpse of his own country. His
heart bounded within him' when the
red roofs and gables of Stavanger.
camne into sight, and he was the
very first to leapoff the steamer,
Lar too impatient to touch Nor-
wegian •soil, once more to dream of
waiting for the more leisurely mem-
bers of the party. In a rapture of
happiness he walked on drinking
down deep breaths of the fresh
morning air, until coming at length
to the cathedral he caught sight of
an old woman standing at the door,
trey in 'hand..
He stopped and had a , long con-
versation with her for the mere
pleasure of hearing his . native
tongue once more; he made her
happy with a korner and ,enjoyed
her grateful shake of the hand,
then, partly to please her, entered
the cathedral.
Later in the day, when they slow=
ay steamed into Bergen harbor and
saw once snore the place that he
had so often longed for, with its
dear familiar houses and -spires, its
lovely surrounding mountains, his
happiness was not without a strong
touch of pain. For after all, though
the, place remained, ,his home had
gone forever, and though Herr
rGronvold stood waiting for them on
the landing quay with the Heartiest
of welcomes, yet he could not but
feel a terrible blank:
Cecil read his facsein a moment,
and understood just what he was
feeling.
"Come ,and let us look for the
luggage,''.. she said. to Roy.
"Rather different to our last ar-
rival here," said Roy, brightly.
They welts' all to "stay' for a' few
days with the Gronvolds, and there
was now plenty of room for them;
since Karen and the ` eldest. son
were married and settled in homes
of their own. Fru Gronvold and
Sigrid met with the utmost affee-
tion, and all the petty quarrels and
vexations of the past were forgot-
ten; indeed, the very first evening
they had a hearty laugh over the
recollection of their difference of
opinion about Torvald Lundgren.
""And, my dear." said Fru Gron-
vold, "you' need not feel at all
anxious about him, he is. very hap-
pily Married, and T think -yes., -ccr
tainlyel can not help owning, that
he manages • his household with a
firmer hand than would ,perhaps•
have suited you. He has a very
pretty little wife who worships the
ground he treads on."
"Which, you see, '1 could never
have done," said Sigrid, merrily.
"Poor Torvald 1 I am very glad he
is' happily eettlect,: Frithiof must
go and see him. How do, you think

"By ',and ay, when she is grown

"Ave you riot read enough?" he
sald. "We ate 'very dull without

"11 thought you would have so

said, putting down her boob and
lifting her soft gray eyes to his,
"Nat a bit," he replied, "we are

and sing me "Princesses,' if ' you
are really not too tired, t am very

lady in the poem."
It was. quite late ono evening
that they steamed down the dark-
ening I•ioinsdalsfjord. Me great
Romsdalahorn reared its dark :head
solemnly into the calm sky, and ev-
erywhere pewee seemed to reign.
The steamer wasalmost empty;
Frithiof and +Cecil stood alone at the
forecastle end, silently reveling in
the exquisite view before them.
Frithiof` turned and looked at
Cecil.
She had' taken off her hat that
she might better enjoy the soft ev-
ening breeze which was ruffling up
her fair hair ; her blue dress' was
one of those shaedes which are
called "pew," but which- are not
unlike the old blue in which artists
have 'always loved to paint the Ma-
donna ; her face was very' quiet and
happy ; • . the soft evening light
seemed to etherealize her.
"You Wall never know how much I.
owe to you," he'eaid, impetuously.
"Islad it not been for all that you
did for me in .the past I could not
possibly have been here to-night.'t
She had :been looking toward Ve-
blungsnaes, but now she turned to
hint with a glance so beautiful, so
rapturously happy, that it seemed
to waken new life within hind.
He was glad• she was silent, for
he dreaded lest anything should.
rouse him and take him back to the
dull, cold past—the past in which
for so long he had lived with his
heart half, dead, upheld only by the
intention of redeeming his father's
honor.
And the steamer glided on over
the calm moonlit waters, and drew
nearer to Veblungsnaes, where an
eager -faced crowd waited for the
great event of the day. A_ sudden
terror seized Frithiof that some one
would came to their end of the
steamer and break the spell that
bound him, and then the very fear
itself made him realize that this
was no dream, but a great''aality.
Cecil' was beside him, and he loved
her—a new era had begun _ in his
life.
But no ono came near them. Still
they stood there—side by side, and
the ,steamer shoved on peacefully
once more, the silvery track still
marking the calm "'fjord till they
reached the little boat that was to
land them at Naes. • When it was
no longer possible to prolong that
strange, weird calm, : he went, like
a man half awake, to see after the
luggage, and presently, with an
odd, dazzled feeling found himself
on the shore, where Herr Lossiiis,
the landlord, 'stood. to welcome
them.
"Which is the hotel?" asked Roy.,
And Herr Lossius replied, in his
quaint, careful English: "It is yon-
der, sir that house just under the
moon.,, •
But the. "house under the moon,"
though comfortable enough, did not
prove a good sleeping -place. All
the night long Frithiof lay broad
awake in his quaint room, and at
length, weary of staring at the pic-
ture of the stag painted on the win-
dow -blind, he drew it up and lay
looking out at the dark Romsdals-
horn, for the bed was placed across
the window and ebrnmanded' a beau-
tiful view.
He could think of .nothing but
Cecil, of the 'strange, "new insight
that had come tohim so soddenly,
of the marvel that, having known
her so long and so intimately, he
had only just realized the beauty
of her character, with its tender,
womanly grace, .its quiet strength,
itssteadfastness, and repose.
He fell into great despondency ;
but the recollection' of that sweet,
bright glance which she had given
him in reply to his impetuous burst
of gratitude, `reassured hun,, and
when, later on, he met her at
breakfast his doubts were held at
bay, andhis hopes raised, not by
anything that she did or said, but
by her mere presence. e

Japanese law requires that each

(called jitsuin), to have it registered
and kept in agovernment office
(district office of a'city, town or vil-

The material employed to make
these seals consists of various kinds
of precious stones, gold, silver, etc.
Those mostly in use at the present
day are of agate, : rock crystal,
ivory, rhinoceros or wood or box-

There are two ways of engraving
characters on a seal -relief and in-
