His clients' faces fell.
"But there is the second alternative. You

For the second time was the Admiral
punched and tapped and listened to. This
time however, there oould be no question
of the qualifiestions of the doctor -a well-
known Fellow of the College of Surgeons
--and his report was aa favorable 8.8 the
other's had been adverse.
"He has the heart and chest of a man of
forty," said he. "I can recommend his
life as one of the best of his age that I have
ever examined."
"That's well," said Mr. McAdam making
a note of the doctor's remarks, while the
Admiral disbursed a second guinea. "Your
price, I understand, is 45,000. I can com-
municate with Mr. Elberry, my client,
and let you know whether he times to tenth

"Very well. I should like the money

am very happy to have been of service."
11r. McAdam bowed. them out, for he was
a very busy man, and they found them-
selves in the street once more with lighter
hearts than when they had. entered it.
"Well, Westmacott, I am sure Iam very
biuch obliged to you," said the Admiral.
"Yon have stood by me when I was the
better for a little help, for I'm clean out of
my surroundings among these city sharks.
But I've something to do now which is
more in my own line, and I need not
trouble you any more,
"Oh, it is no trouble. I have nothing
to do. I never have anything to do. I don't
suppose 1 could do it if I had. I should be
delighted to come with you, sir, if I can be
of any use."
"No, no, my lad. You go home again.
Itwould be kind of yen, though if you
would look in at number one when you
get back and tell my wife that all's well
with me, and that I'll be back in an hour
or so."
"All right, sir, ril tell her." And
Westmacott raised hie hat and strode
away to the westward, while the Admiral,
after a hurried lunch, bent his steps toward
the east.
It was a long walk, but the old seaman
swung along at a rousing pace, leaving
street atter street behind him. The
great business places dwindled down into
commonplace shops and dwellings which
decreased and became more stunted, even
as the folk who tilled them did, until he
was deep in the evil places of the eastern
end, • It was a land of huge, dark housea
and of garish gin shops -a land, too, where
life moveeirregularly and where adventures
are to be gained, as the Admiral was to
learn to his cost.

"What'll you. give me if I tell you
where it is ?" said a sharp -faced boy
among the orovvd. "Will you gimme a

"Certainly,"
"Well, where's the quid. ?"

pocket. "Here it is."
"Then 'ere's the ticker 1" The boy
pointed to the olinohed hand of the sense-

from bet 'Wean the fingers, and on opening
them up there was the Admirare chrono-
meter. This interesting victim had throw,

she had robbed him with the other.

ed with dilated nostrils and clinched
hands, all glowing and tingling with the
excitement of the oombat, and warmed
with the thought that he could still, when
there was need, take his own part in a
street brawl in spite of his thremsoore and
odd years.
His way now led toward the riverside
regions, and. a cleansing whiff of tar was
to be detected in the stagnant Autumn air.
Men with the blue jersey and peaked cap
of the boatman or the white ducks of the
dockers began to replace the corduroys
and fustian of the laborers. Shops with
nautical instruments iu the windows, rope
and paint sellers and slop shops with long
rows' of oilskins dangling from hooks, all
proclaimed the neighborhood of the docks.
The Admiral quickened his pace and
straightened his figure as his surroundings
became more nautical, until at last, peep-
ing between two high, dingy wharfs, he
caught a glimpse of the mud -colored
waters of the Thames, and of the bristle of
masts and funnels which rose from its
bread bosom.. To the right day a
quiet, street; with many brass plates
upon either side and wire blinds
in all of the windows. The Ad-
miral walked slowly down it until
"The St. Lawrence Shipping Company"
caught his eye. He crossed the road
pushed open the door and found himself
in a low-ceilinged offiee,with a long counter
at one end and a great number of wooden
sections of ships stuck upon boards and
plastered all over the wall.
He was hurrying down one of the long,
narrow, stone -flagged lanes between the
double lines of crouching, dishevelled
women and of dirty children who sat on
the hollowed steps of the houses and
basked in the Autumn sun. At one side
was a barrowmem with a load of walnut,
and beside the barrow a bedraggled woman
with a black fringe and a checkered shawl
thrown over her head. She was cracking
walnuts and pieging them out of the shells,
throwing out a remark occasionally to a
rough man in a rabbitskin cap, with straps
under the knees of his corduroy trousers,
who stood puffing a black clay pipe, with
his back against the wall. What the cause
of the quarrel was, or what sharp sarcasm
from the woman's lips pricked suddenly
through that thick skin, may never be
known but suddenly the man took his pipe
10 his left hand leaned forward, and delib-
erately struck her across the face with his
right. It was a slap rather than a blow,
but the woman gave a sharp ery and cower-
ed up against the barrow with her hand to
her ohee=k.
"You infernal villain I" cried the Ad-
miral, raising his stick. "Von brute and
blackguard 1
"Garn I" growled the rough, with the
deep, rasping intonation of a savage.
"Garn out o' this or 1'11-" He took a
step forward with uplifted hand, but in
an instant down came out number three
upon his wrist, and cut number five across
his thigh, and cut number one 1 all in the
centre of his rabbit -skin cap. It was not a
heavy stiok, but it was strong enough to
leave a good red weal'wherever ib fell. The
rough yelled with pain and rushed in,
hitting with both hands and kicking with
his iron -shod boots ; but the Admiral had
still a quick foot and a true eye, so that he
bounded backward and aidevraye, still
raining a shower of blows upon his savage
antagonist. Suddenly, however, a pair of
arms closed round his neck, and, glancing
backward, he caught a glitripee of the
black, coarse fringe of the woman whom
he had befrieuded. "I've got him 1" she
shrieked. "I'll 'old him. Now, Bill,

"Yee, my boy, you don't know the re-
sources of the family. One never does know

now ?"
"I have about a thousand pounds invest-
ed."
"All right. And I have about as much
more. There's a good start. Now mother,
it is your turn. What is that little bit of
paper of yours ?"
Mrs. Denver unfolded it and placed it
upon Harold's knee.
"Five thousand pounds!" he gasped.

"It was an offer whioh should not have
been made," said the Admiral, sternly,
" Well, it reflects credit upon you /that

here I am sure that he would arrange this
matter for you at onoe. As it is, I shall
lay it before the directors to -day, and I

some more suitable position than that
which you suggest."
"1 an very much obliged. to you, sir,"
said the Admiral, and started off again,
well pleased, upon his homeward journey.

CHAPTER XV.
STILL AMONG SIMMS.
The next day brought the Admiral &
cheek for 45,000 from Mr, McAdam, and
stamped agreement by which he made
over his pennon papers to the speoulative
investor, It was not until he had signed
and sent it off that the full significanoe: of
all that he had done broke upon him. He
had nothing save only what he could earn.
But the stout old heart never quailed. Be
waited eagerly for a letter from the Saint
Lawrence Shipping company, and in the
meanwhile be gave his landlord a, quarter's
notice. Hundred pounds a year houses
would in future be a luxury which he could
not aspire to. A small lodging house in
some inexpenaive part of Loudon must be
the substitute for his breezy Norwood
villa. So be it then. Better that a
thousand fold than the b his name should be
associated with failure and disgrace.
On that morning Harold Denver was to
meet the creditors of the firm and to ex-
plain the situation to them. It was a.
hateful task, a degrading task, but ha set
himself to do it with quiet resolution. At
home they waited in intense anxiety to
learn the result of the meeting, It was
late before he returned, haggard and pale,
like a man who has done and suffered
much.
" What's this board in front of the
house ?" he asked.
" We are going to try a, little change of
scene," said the Admiral. "This place is
neither town nor country. But never mind
that, boy. Tell us whab happened in the
city,"
"God help me I My wretched business is
driving you out of house and home 1"
cried Harold, broken down by this fresh
evidence of the effects of his misfortunes.
"It is easier for me to meet my creditors
than to see you two suffering so patiently
for my sake. '
" Tut,tut 1" cried th.e Adnairal. "There's
no suffering in the matter. Mother would
rather be near the theatres. That's et the
bottom of it, isn't it, mother? You come
and sit down here between us and tell us
all about it."
Harold eat down with a loving hand in
each of his.
"I's not so bad as we thought," said he,
"and yet it is bad enough. I have about
ten days to find the money, but I don't
know which way to turn for it. Pearson,
however, lied as usual,- when he spoke of
413,000. The amount is not, quite 47,000."
The admiral clapped his hands. "1
knew we should weather it after alt!
Hurrah, my boy 1 Hip, hip, hip, hurrah 1"
Harold gazed at him in surprise while
the old seaman waved his hand above
his head and bellowed out three sten-
torian cheers. " Where am 1 to get seven
thousand pounds from, dad ?" he asked.
" Never mind. You spin your yam."
"Welt, they were very good and very
kind, but of course they must have either
their money or their money's worth.
They passed a vote of sympathy for
me, and agreed to wait ten days before
they took any proceedings. Three of
them, whose claim came to 5,500 pounda,
told me that If I would give them my
personal I. 0. U. and pay interest at the
rate of five per cent., their amounts might
stand over as long as I wished. That
would be a charge of 4175 upon my income,
but with thonon y I could meet it, and it
diminishes the debt by one-half:
Again the Admiral burst out cheering?.
"There remains, therefore, about£3,200,
" You don't happen to have a first or
theond officer's place vacant, do you ?"
The manager looked with a dubious eye
at hie singular applicant.
"Do you hold certificates?" he asked.
"I hold every nautical certificate there
is."
"Then you wont do for us."
"Your age, sir."
"1 give yo(5 my word that 1 can see as
weIl as ever, and am as goods man in every
way."
"I don't doubt it."
"Why should my age be a bar, then ?"
"Well, I must put it plainly. If a man
of your age, holding certificates, has not
got pat a second officer's berth, there
must be a black mark against him some-
where. I don't know what it is, drink or
temper or want or judgment, but something
there must be."
"I assure you there is nothing; but I
find myself stranded, and so have to turn
to the old business again."
"Oh, that's it," aaid the manager, with
suspiaion in his eye. "How long were you
in your last billet ?"
"Fifty-one years."
" hat 1"
"Yes, sir, one-and.fifty years.*
"In the same employ?"
"Yes."
"Why, you must have begun as a
child."
"I was twelve when I joined."
"It must be a strangely managed busi-
ness," said the manager, "which allows
men to leave it who have served for fifty
years, and who are still as good as ever.
Whom did you serve?"
"The Queen. Heaven bless her 1"
"013, you were in the Royal Navy?
What rating did you hold ?"
"I am Admiral of the fleet."
The manager started, and sprung down
from his high stool,
"My name is Admiral Hay Denver.
There is my card. And here are the
re/sada of my service, I don't, you under.

aity man to deal with. It is my own, and
fairly earned, and that is enough."
"Dear old dad 1" Harold squeezed his
gnarled hand. "And you, mother I You
have lifted the trouble from my heart. I
feel like another man. You have saved my
honor, my good name, everything. I can-
not owe you more,for I owe you everything
already."
So, while the Autumn sunset shone
ruddily through the broad window, these
three sat together hand in hand, with
hearts, which were too full to speak. Sud-
denly the soft thudding of tennis balls was
heard, and Mrs. Westmaoott bounded into
view upon the lawn, with brandished rata
quet and short skirts fluttering in the
breeze, The sight came as a relief to their
strained nerves, and they burst all three
into a hearty fit of laughter.
"She is playing with her nephew," said
Harold at last. "The Walkers have not
come out yet. I think that it would be
well if you were to give me that check,
mother, and I were to return it in person."
"Certainly, Harold, I think it would be
vety nice."
He went in through the garden. Clara
and the dootor were sitting together in the
dining -room. She sprung to her feet et
the sight of him.
"Oh, Harold, I have been waiting for
you so impatiently," she cried. "I saw
you pass the front windows half an hour
ago. I would have come in if I dared. Do
tell us what has happened."
"I have come in to thank you both.
How can I repay you for your kindness?
Here is your check, doctor. I have not
needed it. I find that I can lay my hands
on enough to pay my creditors."
"Thank God l" said Clara, fervently.
"The sum is lesa than I thought, and
our resources considerably more. We have
been able to do it with ease."
"With ease! The doctor's brow clouded
and his manner grew cold. "I think,
Harold, that you would do better to take
this money of mine than to use that which
seems to you to be gained with ease."
"Thank you, sir. If I borowed from any
one it would be from you. But my father
has this very sum,45,000,and,as I tell him,
I owe him so much that I have no compunc-
tion about owing him more."
"No compunction 1 Surely there are
some sacrifices which a son should not allow
his parents to make."
"Sacrifices 1 What do you mean ?"
"Is it possible that you do not know how
this money has been obtained ?"
"I give you my word, Dr. Walker, that
I have no idea. I asked my father, but he
refused to tell me."
"I thought not," said the doctor, the
gloom clearing from his brow. "I was sure
that you were not a man who, to clear
yourself from a little money difficulty,
would sacrifice the happiness of your mother
and the health of your father."
"Good gracious 1 What do you mean ?"
"It is only right that you should know.
That money represents the commutation of

himself to poverty and intends to go to sea
again to earn a living."
"To sea again 1 Impossible I"
"It is the truth. Charles Westmanott
has told Ida. He was with him in the city
when he took hie poor pension about from
dealer to dealer, trying to sell it. He
succeeded at last, and hence the money,"
"He has sold his pension I" cried Harold,
with his hands to his face. "My dear old.
dad has sold his pension !" He rushed from
the room and burst wildly into the presence
of his parents once more. "I cannot take
it; father," he cried. "Better bankruptcy
than that. Oh, if I had only known your
plan 1 We must have book the peusion.
Oh, mother, mother, how could you think
me capable of such solfishuess ? Give me
the check, dad, and I will see tbis niau to-
night, for I would sooner die like a dog in
the ditch than touch a penny of this
money."
"Ala but mother is not the only rich one.
Look at this I" And the Admiral unfolded
his °heck end placed it upon the other knee.
Harold gazed from one to the other in
bewilderment.
"Ten thousand pounds !" he oried.
"Good heavens 1 where did this oome
from ?"
"You will not worry any longer, dear,"
murmured his mother, slipping her arm
round him.
But his quick eye had caught the sig-
nature upon one of the checks. "Dr.
Walker 1" he oried, flushieg. "This is
Olara's doing. Oh, dad, we cannot take
this money 1 It ...would nob be right nor

"No, boy ; I am glad you think so. It
is something, however, to have proved
Orib'S friend, for a real good friend he it.
It was he who brougho it in, though Mara

to a vault in the beautiful Evergreen
Cemetery at Brooklyn, N. Y,, there it
daily by the side of the easket containing
the remains of his beloved wife, and sur.
rounded by a strange collection of articles
assoolated with her daily life, an aged man
who line become known to the numerous
visitors to the oemetery es "the man who
Uvea in the tomb." Slime the body of hie
wife was deposited in the vault, two
weeks ago, he has spent all his days beside
her coffin and he hail declared that he will
eontinue to do so until he es eummoned to
join her.
The vault, an imposing struoture of
granite, is built into a gentle slope in that
pars of the oemetery known as "Whispering
Grove," on the shore of the lake. Over
the entrance is engraved in large letters,
"Jonathan and Mary E. Reed," and ou ono

iron railing that inoloses a ante.11 plot arc

A massive iron -barred door gives a full

of which is unique. A little vestibule, 8
or 10 feet square, (=epics the front of the
tomb, giving aocess to the inner chamber,
which consists merely of a narrow passage-
way about 8 feet long, WWI a shelf, or
recess, on either side, 10 one of these
recesses rests the body of Mrs. Reed, the
other being reserved for that of her
husband. At the further end of the
little passage is a quaint, old-faehioned
dressing -table and mirror, covered with
various small articles of feminine use, and
in front of this a chair, on which the
watcher could sit beside the casket, The
casket itself rested on the right-hand shelf,
inclosed in a double case over which was
thrown a pieoe of cheap Japanese matting
gaudily painted with flowers, which had
evidently once served for a wiudow shade.
The opposite shelf was littered with an
extraordinary collection of objeots, includ-
ing ar tioles of clothing, china vases, withered
bunches of flowers, boxes, old gloves, bails
of yarn and pieces of unfinished knitting,
The walls of the inner vault are covered
with photographs in oheap and tarnished
frames.
On the left-hand wall of the vestibule is
a large portrait of an elderly man, with
long white side whiskers, and below this a
battered camp stool, held together with
pieces of twine. On a shelf near the picture
was piled a woman's reticule, an old oard
rack, spoons and more pieces of unfinished
knitting work. In a corner was piled an
old broom and. several feather dusters.
Like the inner vault, the walls of the
vestibules are covered with photographs,
some being even suspended from the ceil-
ing.
Probably the most singular object in the
collection was a pack of cards which had
evidently never been used, hauging by a
string from the upper part of the grated
door.
lad Reed is a wealthy retired merchant,
living in Brooklyn. His wife died two
years ago, and her body was placed in the
vault by her father, ,Mr. Gould in the
cemetery. It was said. that Mr. Reed was
not on good terms with his fatherdn-law,
who objected to his frequent visits to the
vault.
Mr. Gould. died reciently, and Mr. Reed
then had a tomb built on his own plans at
a cost of $3000 and had the body removed
to it two weeks ago. He then filled the
vault with mementos of his wife. Mr. and
Mrs. Reed traveled together extensively
and had collected many relics of the places
they visited in the shape of pieces of stone,
all of which he deposited in the vault..
Since the completion of the tomb Mr.Reed
had visited it regularly every morning
remaining until the closing of the cemetery
gates at 7 o'olook.
When the German Consul at Odessa
undertook to celebrate Sedan the other day
by a garden party he applied to the prefeet,
of the Government for permission. The
Prefect wrote the Minister of the Interior,
who, alter conseitation with the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, answered that he con.
sidered the celebration inopportune, and
permission was consequently refused.
That is the best part of beauty which a
picture ca nnot express. -Bacon.
