A. slight haze arose between her and the ship, thickening and thicken- ing until at last it obscured the vessel. Dorothy was oppressed by a sense of something forgotten, and she strove in vain to remember what it was. It was of the utmost importance, she was cel' - Main, and this knowledge made her mental anxiety the greater,. At last out of the gloom she saw Sabina approach, clothed in rags, and then a flash of intuition enabled ber to grasp the dimculty. Through her re- missness the ball dress was unfinished, and the girl, springing to her feet, turned intuitively to the sewing ma- chine, when the ringing laugh of Kath- erine dissolved the fog. "Why, you poor girl, what's the mat- ter with you.? Are you sitting down to drudgery again? You've forgotten„the fortune!" "Are—are you back already?" cried Dorothy, somewhat wildly. "Already! Why, bless me, I've been away an hour and a quarter! You dear girl, you've been asleep and in slavery again!" - "I think I was," admitted Dorothy, with a sigh. T CHAPTER VI. THREE days later the notch At- lantic squadron of •the British' navy sailed down the coast . from Ilalifax, did not even pause at Bar Harbor, but sent a wire- less telegram to •the Consternation, which pulled up anchor and joined the fleet outside, and s0 the warships 'de- parted for another port. Katherine stood by the broad win- dow in the sewing room in her favorite attitude, ker head sideways against the pane, her eyes languidly gazing up- on the bay, Lingers drumming this time a very slow march on the window sill. Dorothy sat in a rocking chair reading a letter. for the second time. There had been silence in the room for some minutes, accentuated rather than bre- ken by the quiet drumming of the girl's fingers on the window sill. Final- ly Katherine breathed a deep sigh and murmured to herself:yy.• "har called our navy lades away: • On dune and headland sinks the fire, (0, all our pomp.of yesterday Is one with, Nineveh and Tyrol I wonder if I've got the lines right," she whispered to herself.

"He bas called upon me every .day since the night of the ball," maintained Katberiue stoutly, "Well, that's only three times." "Only three! How you talk!' One would think you had never been schooled in mathematics. Why, three Is a magic figure. Yon can do plenty of amazing things with it. Don't you know that three is a numeral of love?" "I thought two was the ember," chimed Dorothy, with heartless mirth, "Three," said .Katherine taking .one last look at the empty horizon, then seating berself in front of her friend— "three is a recurring decimal. It goes on and on and on forever, and if you write it for a thousand years you are still as far from the end as when you began. It will carry you round the world and back again and never ,ninish. It is the mathematical em- blem of the nature of true love." "Is it so serious as all that, Kate, or are you just fooling again?" asked Dorothy, more soberly Wean heretofore. "Has he spoken to you?" "S ken?hasdone nothingbut. po Ile speak, and I have listened --oh, so in- tently and with` sueb deep understand- ing. He bas never before met such a woman as 1 and has frankly told me so." "I am very glad he appreeiates you, clear." "Yes, you, see, Dorothy, I am really touch deeper than the ordinary wo- man. Who, for instance, could find suck a beautiful love simile from a book of arithmetic costing 25 cents as I have unearthed from decimal frac- tions?

Rather bewildered, for Kate's ex- pression was one of pathos, unrelieved by any gleam of knmor, Dorothy new ertheless laughed, although the laugh brought no echo from Katherine. "And did you give him a volume of Browning in return?" "No, I didn't. )low (tan you be so unsympathetic? Is it impossible for you to eompreheftd• the unseen link that binds John and me•?
