The noise of laughter and loud talking
gushed forth from the room below as the
stout young person flume open the door.
Men in black coats and white gloves, the
shabby gentility of the confectioners' service,
moved bade and forward through the hall
hurriedly, serving so luncheon of many °our.
see Cori Conover's voioe arose in song, at
the end of each of whose steamers a vigorous
chorus was intoned by the numerous com-
pany. Presently Lord Helderswood came
out,
"Gilbert I Gilbert!" cried Cincinnati, in
a choking voioe. "Come to me; come 1"
In an instant he had bounded up the
stairs.
"Why, what in the world brought you
here?" he exclaimed.
"I was so lonely without you. I was
dying to see my dear husband—I—" she
burst into tears and leaned her head on his
shoulder.
"There, there," he said petulantly. I hate
tears. Don't take on so. Jove, Sissy, you're
frightfully in the way here. Yon must gat
out of this at once. Captain Conover is
giving a luncheon party.'
"In our house ?"
"Yee: Why not? He orders in the
bread -from the annfactionern, and we are
out of tame."
"I am, yon are not. Where are the
servants ?"
"I discharged the cook for insolence to
Captain Conover and the housemaid has
gone home ill. I've got in an army pension-
er to take care of the place. Come, Sissy,
you must return to the country. Let me
get you a cab to take you to the station."
"Qh come,
I say ?" exclaimed a voice.
"This' is 'ardly fair, you know, my Lord,

It was the stout young person with yellow
"Yes," replied Cincinnati.
"Indeed I" exclaimed Helderewoocl. "I
had not heard of it."
"I was going to tell you It was thin
morning in the train. And mother—how is
mother, Unole Napoleon ?"
" Well, she ain't a bib smart, Cinsunnater
ain't been since you left. I ain't way up
nuther, Sis. You wouldn't believe it, but
I ain't first claese"
Lord Helderswood said hewould believe it.
"Your mar wants you to make her a
visit, Sis—a loeg visit. She's boarding now;
you know."
"Boarding!" exclaimed Lady Heiden -
wood, Where's her house ?"
"Oh, that eves sold at the time of your
marriage—along wieh everything else."
Lord Helderewood got up and took his hab.
"You look kinder peaked," saicl Uncle
Neopolcon to his Meoe's husband. Ain't you
feeling good ?"
Helderswood did not trouble hinaself to
reply. Nodding slightly to both he abruptly
loft the room.
Hurrying to Curzon street he found the
small house lately so trill of boisterous life,
now quite deserted. Even the remains of
the repast had vanished, oonveyed away by
the thralin of the confeationer. Of Captain
Conover there was eto trace. Beyond doubt
the gay dog was off at some other merry.

don fell upon Gilbert Helderswood. The
knowledge, deathly in its bitterness, that all
life's jays had been tasted, that nothing re-
mained for nim to disoover except sorrow,
needed his mind with despair.
His wife --ah, how every object in the
dainty bowie recalled her sweetness, of mind
and form ! 'Twits here, on this very spot,

tesque man with the grizzled chin beard?
Or was it a stout young parson, equally aa
grotesque, with yellow hair?
He returned to the hotel and found Cin-
oinnati alone, trying to read a book. His
mind was in a tumult. His words oame tur-
bulently.
"Madam I" So he addressed her, cut-
tingly. "1 require an explanation of this

How often have you seen him lately ?"
"Once."
"Shall you see him again ?"
"1 cannot say."
"Then I earl say for you. Yon shall not

"No ?"
"No, neither him, nor your uncle; that
most incomprehensible specimen of an uncle
for a lady."
" Gilbert ?" pleadingly.
"Neither your uncle nor yosir mother"
"Oh, Gilbert, what are you saying ?" she
shrieked.
"I exercise my authority," he oried, feed-
ing his anger with fuel from his own excited
mind. "Von will pay your mother no visit.

hueband's command her tears flowed on.
Gilbert paced the floor angrily, A torrent
of laughter was heard raging below. Con
Conover was telling a capital story, one of
the most irresistibly amusing of his exten-
sive collection. Helderewood became more
and more furious at his enforced exclusion
from the audition. Stopping short in his
march he looked angrily in his wife's eyes
and muttered,
"I desire you to return to the country."
"I desire to remain in town," she replied,
rising. "I shall go to a hotel."
She descended the stairs quickly. Throw-
ing open the front door she precipitated her-
self almost into the arms of an elderly man,
weariug a grizzled chin beard, Arabic over-
shoes and a sealskin cap.
"Cineunnater I" he exclaimed.

Thereupon ensued a great handshaking,
and a resounding kiss, and a confused inter-
mingling of affectionate inquiries.

"Just listen to me a minute, will you, my

"What's thet to you ?" retorted she, in-
serting her latohkey in the look at Lafayette
House,

"Never," she cried. "Police 1"

CHAPTER VII.
The room in which he was told the lady
was to be found was at the very top of the
house. Even before he entered it this man
knew that hie wife was there. A faint odor
of wood violet athwart the still, the perfume
whose fragrance was wont to linger about
her dainty apparel and in her beauteous
hair.
He put his:shoulder against the door ex.
peoting a redraw°, but there was none.
The door fell open noiselessly, disclosing a
room whose furniture was of the poorest and
whose stainer' carpet was almost threadbare.
A curtained bed was in a corner and by
its side hovered Cincinnati.
"Lady Helderswood 1" he cried, rngrily.
She started in surprise and nulled to him.
"Gilbert, Gilbert!" she exclaimed. "Yon

"I have 1" in a deep and terrible voioe.
"1 have infringed your command," she
wept, sinking on her knees. "Forgive me !
Forgive me! I have oorne to eee my raother,
Gilbert; my poor old mother 1"
"Your—mother 1" he repeated, with
wide, staring eyes.
He allowed her without residence to lead
hira to the bed, on whiola lay the form of
her mother, whose earthly lace was paha-
ably near its oloee.

me late to -night."
Jones and a surgeon entered from an ad-
oiniiig room. The gloom of the tragedy
hung over both like a pall.
The dying woman opened her eyes and
saw Gilbert.
"My dear, good son 1" she whispered,
endeavoring to extend to him her poor crush.
ed hand.
The young mien lifted the bandaged fing-
ers to his lips and kilned them reverently,
Then the floodgates of remorse fell open and
he wept.
Relined in the Christian faith, taught fro&
his earliest youth that nobility of birth
could receive no tarnish so blackening as
wickedness of heart, he saw, as those of old
saw, the writing on the wall, the humiliat-
ing reoord of his own ill deeds. The poor
woman who lay dying there, old and illiter-
ate as she was, had been nob less to Gilbert
Helderswood than an angelic spirit, yielding
to the wanderer within the gates of the far
Western city almost every materiel advent -
age she possessed that he might creed the
golden path of dalliance with a wife as fair
as bonds by his side. How had he repaid
this kindnees ? By disdain, by contumely,
by rank injustice 1 No wound ere deep as
that inflioted by reproaching conscience.
Its enguish caused new tears to flow.
"Don't mind me, sonny," gasped the
p'oor old sufferer, selneffaeing, generous to
the very last. "Only be happy, be look',
you and Sis 1"
The morning broke cold and sullen; but
while dark clouds veiled the sun's face in the
eastern sky within that squalid chamber
there shone the supernal light of death.
Helderawood'e character was elevated by
this sad experience. To his deep love for
his wife were joined respect and confidence.
Her affeetion for him became a sort of hero
worship; especially was this observed when
another Gilberb came to lie upon her lap and
fondly nestle to her heart. The house in

The fire was firat diecovered on Maroh 23,

most in fighting the flames, they managed to
stand by the ship, and auoceeeded in taking
her into Rio de Janeiro, the cargo being theta

of the crew were badly burned and alniost

3,000 tons of cargo is destroyed by fire and
water. The Brazilian Government have de.
oided to present a gold medal to Capt. Rob-
ertson, in recognition of his bravery and skill.
Seed on the Atlantic.
The first steamer that ever crossed the
Atlantic was the "Savannah,” whioh sailed
from the Southern city whose name she
bore, and reaohed Liverpool twenty-five
days later. This was 1819. She dependel
on her sails more than on her engines, how-
ever, and when the wind was favorable,
and all her canvas could be spread, her
paddle -wheels were hauled on deok and
folded up like an umbrella ! It can be im-
agined that she was very little like an ocean
steamer of the present day, and her amass
was so questionable that when she returned
to the United States, her engines were
taken out of her, and she was converted
into a sailingothip,
Nineteen years later, after other experi-
ments, it had been demonstrated that steam
navigaotion was a practicable thing, and a
regular line of steamers was eatablished
between Eogland and America. One .of
those steamers was the Great Western,
which made seventy voyages across the
ocean. The quickest of these voyages was
accompliehed in twelve days and seven
hours.
From that time to this there has been a
constant effort, stimulated by competition
and by improvements in machinery, to
lessen the duration of the voyage. The old
side -wheel, or paddle, steamers were a ban.
doned about fourteen years • ago, and the
modern type of Vessel is the screw propeller.
The most recent steamers are " twin
screws " ; that is to say, instead of having
one propeller, each steamer hat two, and in
this way it is expected that a high power
can be utilized. The twin screws are also
an element of safety, since each screw is
worked bye. separate engine, and should one
engine be disabled, the other would have
power enough to propel the ship into porb.
The distance from New York to Queens'.
town is about twenty-eight hundred miles,
and up to 1880 the fattest paseage was a
little over seven days, which was made by
the Arizona. Sinee then it has been smarm-
ively reduced by the Alaska, the city of
Rome, the Servia, the Oregon, the Umbria,
the Etruria, e,nd the City of Paris. For
several years the Ebruria has stood at the
head of the list, her best record being six
days, one hour and fifty-five minutes. Bun
the City of Paris surpassed this in her last
trip from Queenstown which was made in
five days, twenty-three hours and seven
minutes.
The endeavor to increase the speed has
necessarily led to an increase in the size of
the ships also. The "Great Weetern" mea-
sured thirteen hunderd and forty tons • the
She "City of"Paris," the most recent addiition
to the Atlantic fleet, and the fastest ship in
the world, measures ten thousand five hund-
red tons. On her trial trip, about three
months ago, ehe developed a speed of over
twenty knots an hour, in maintaning which
she bum over three hundred tons of coal
daily.
Six naagnificont new steamers' will be in
service this summer, and before the end of
the year, it is expected by some who are ex-
pert! in such rattan, that "the fastest pass-
age on record" will be not much more than
five days and a half. This will be equal to
the average time made by a railway train be-
tween San Franoisco and New York, or a
speed of more than twenty-one nautical
miles an houre—equivale.nt to twenty-four
and a 'sixth English miles, ---throughout the
voyage. ,
An impressive illustration of the siguiff
canoe of so high a rate of speed was given
by Sir Frederick Bramwell in a recent ad-
dress. Suppose that men, inetead of steam,
were employed, as in an ancient galley, in
propelling such a Blazes the City of Paris,
She number required would be two hundred
and thirty-four thousand, working in watches

would be 'impossible to carry such a number
in any vessel, but if it were possible, still
their united efforts could not give her a speed
of twenty knots.
