Kingsford began dimly to perceive that
esemething was wrong, and determined to
.get up and dress. He told R mimed, to go
out and have breakfast ready in twenty

To his surprise he saw therein the fen of

"No one, eir, asked you to elucidate the

looked uncomfoytably et the supposed Mr.

"Have you come across anything of parte.

"You. seem to be interested in the eubj ed."

words in his frerzy of excitement.
" I'm not going to stand this kind of thing

"let us come away ;" and he moved off, with
the frightened ghl boldirg his arm, while he
whismered to her : Stassart must be mad.
I know he drank a good deal last night, but I
shouldoot have thought it would have affect-
ed him so muoh," And to put the finishing
touch tethers:mite, he spoke to Policeman X22,
veho had been watching the quarrel of two
apparently respectable young men with in

barest, and said, as he dropped half a orawn
into his hand, "Just put the poor fellow,

The unsuepecting constable winked, and
proceeded to carry out his instructions, and
Steuart had the satiefaction of seeing his
body, inhabited by his unfortunate dean
gently pushed into a passing hansom, while
the polioemau mailed knowingly at the
-
driver.
So far he had triumphed over all his diffi-
culties, and, indeed, congratulated himaelt
upon the successful termination of the scene
just reoorded. But he foresaw that further
difficulties were to come, and felt rather un-
assey at the prospect. Gladys had been
quite frightened by the quarrel between the
two young men and begged her lover to
take her homeel once. Their walk back was
a quiet one, and they :poke little till they
arrived at the house. As they went in

,,,,aonal metal braces in the bows of their
boats. The boats got a liberal sheer for-
ward and aft, so that they would be less
liable to overturn. A line of rope fenders
were stretched along the guuvro,lea. Water-

he is crushed under water and lost. If he

at such an angle with his keel that he is
rolled over. 11e may get hung too far aft,
and his boat is drawn in under the counter
