"Chuck some water over yourself," he said, hastily, nodding at a jug which stood on the table. "I can't very well get up to do it myself," The lady ignored this advice, and by dint of much strength of mind, regain- ed her self-control. She sat down on the locker again, and folding her arms showed clearly her intention to remain. Half an hour passed; the visitor still sat grimly upright. Twice she sniffed slightly, and with a delicate handkerchief pushed up her veil and wiped away the faint beginnings of a tear. "I suppose you, think I'm aching strangely?" she. said, catching the mate's eye after one of these episodes. "Oh, don't mind me," said the mate, with stadied politeness; "don't mind hurting my feelings or taking my character away." "Pooh! you're a man," said ' the visitor, scornfully; "but character or no character, I'm going to see into that room before I. go away, if I sit here for three weeks." "How're you going to manage about eating and drinking all that time . inquired Fraser. "How are you ?" said the visitor; I "you can't get up while I'm here, you know." "Well, we'll see," said the mate, vaguely. "I'm sure I don't want to annoy anybody," said the visitor, softly,' "but. I've had a lot of trouble, young! mean, and what's worse, I've been made a fool of. This day three weeks ago I ought to have been married." "I'm sure you ought," murmured the ether. -Travelling under Government on secret service, he said he was!" she continued; "always away: here to -day, China to -morrow, and America the day after."

We were to be married by special license —I'd even got my trousseau ready." "Got your what ready?" inquired the mate, to whom the word was new, leaning out of his bunk. "Everything to wear," exiained the visitor. "All my relations bought new clothes, too; .leastways, those that could afford it did. He even went and helped me choose the cake." "Well, is that wrong?" asked the puzzled mate. "He didn't buy it, he only chose it," said the other, having recourse to her handkerchief again. "He went out- side the shop to see whether there was one he would like better and when I came out he had disap- peared." "He must have met .with an accid- ent," said the mate, politely. "I saw him to -night," said the lady, tersely-. "Once or twice he had men- tioned Wapping in conversation, and then seemed to check himself. That was my clue. I've been round this dismal, heathenish place for a fort- night. To -night I saw him; he came on this wharf, and he has not gone off, . It's my belief he's in that room." Before the mate could reply the hoarse voice of the watchman came down the companion -way. "Ha' past eleven, sir; tide's just on the turn." "Aye, aye," said the mate. He burned imploringly to the visitor. "Would you do me the favor just to step on deck a minute?" "What for?" inquired the visitor, shortly. "Because I want to get up," said the mate. "I shan't move," said the lady. "But I've got to get up, I bell you," said the mate; "we're getting under way in ten minutes." "And what might that be?" asked the lady. "Why, we make a start. You'd bet- ter go ashore unless you want to be carried off." "I shan't move," repeated the visit- or. "Well, I'm sorry to be rude," said the mate, "George." "Sir," said the watchman from above. "Bring down a couple o' men and take this Iady ashore," said the mate, sternly. "I'll send a couple down, sir," said the watchman, and moved off to make a selection. "I shall scream 'murder and thieves,' said the lady, her eyes gleaming. "I'll bring the police up and cause a scandal. Then perhaps I shall see into that room." In the face of determination like this the mate's courage gave way, and in a voice of much anxiety he call- ed upon his captain for instruction. "Cast off," bellowed the mighty voice. "If your sweetheart won't go ashore she must come; too. You must pay her passage." "Well, of all the damned impud- ence," muttered the incensed mate. "Well, if you're bent on coming," he said, hotly, to the visitor, "just go on deck while I dress." The lady hesitated a moment and then withdrew, On deck the men eyed her curiously, but made no at- tempt to interfere with her and in a couple of minutes the mate came run- ping up to take charge. `Where are we going?" inquired the lady, with a trace of anxiety in her voice. "France," eaid Fraser, turning away, The visitor looked nervously round. At the adjoining wharf a sailing barge was also getting underway, and a large steamer was slowly turning in the middle of the river. She took a pace or two towards the side. "Cast off," said Fraser, impatient- ly, to the watchman. "Wait a minute," said the visitor, hastily, "I want to think." "Cast off," repeated the mate. The watchman obeyed, and the schooner's side moved slowly from the wharf. At the sight, the visitor's nerve forsook her, and with a frantic cry she ran to the side and, catching the watchman's outstretched hand, sprang ashore. "Good-bye," sang out the mate; "sorry you, wouldn't cone to France with us. The lady was afraid of the foreigners, George. If it had been England she wouldn't have minded;" "Aye, aye," said the watigiman, significantly, and, as the schooner showed her stern, turned to answer, with such lies 'as he thought the oc- casion demanded, the eager questions of his fair companion. CHAPTER III, Captain Flower, learning through the medium of Tim that the coast was clear, came on deck at Lin -lel -louse, and took charge of his ship with a state- liness significant of an uneasy con- science. He noticed with growing indignation that the mate's attitude was rather, that .of an accomplice than a suordinate, and that the crew look- ed his way far oftener than was neces- sary or desirable. "I told her we were going to ,France,".said the mate, in an impres .sive whisper. • "Her?" said Flower, curtly. "Who?"- "The lady you didn't want to see," said Fraser, restlessly. "You let your ideas run away with you, Jack," said Flower, yawning. "It wasn't likely I was going to turn out and dress to see any girl you liked. to invite aboard." "Or even to bowl at them through the speaking -trumpet," said Fraser, looking at him steadily. • "What sort o' looking girl was she ?" inquired Flower, craning his neck to see what was in front of him. "Looked like a girl who meant to find the man she wanted, if she spent t -ten years over it," said the mate,' grimly. "I'11 bet you an even five ; shillings, cap'n, that she finds this Mr. Robinson before six -weeks are out—whatever his' other name is." • "Maybe," said Flower, carelessly: "It's her first visit to the Foam, but' not the last, youmark my words,",.j said Fraser, solemnly. "If she wants this rascal Robinson—" • "What?" interrupted Flower, sharp- ly, "I say if she wants this rascal Rob - When The Children Rush In From ch +fol, and shout for "something to eat", cut off generous slices of bread and spread with 1' /19.

Captain Flower grunted. • "Women never think," .continued Fraser, ,judicially, "or else she'd be glad 'to 'get rid of such a confounded scoundrel."' "What do you know about him ?" demanded Flower. "I know what she told me," said Fraser; "the idea of a pian leaving a poor girl in a cake -shop and doing a bolt. He'll be punished for it, I know. He's a thoughtless, inconsid- erate fellow, but one of the best -heart- ed chaps in the world, and I guess I'll do the best I can for him." - Flower grinned safely in the dark- ness. "And any little help I can give you, Jack, I'll give freely," he said, softly. "We'll talk it over at breakfast." The mate took bhe hint, and, mov- ing off, folded his arms on the taif- rail, and, looking idly astern, fell into a reverie. , Like the Pharisee, he felt thankful that he was not as other men, and dimly pitied the skipper and his prosaic entanglements, as she thought of Poppy. He looked behind at the dark and silent city, and felt a new affection for it, is he reflected that she was sleeping there. The two men commenced their breakfast in silence, the skipper eat- ing with a zest' which caused the mate to allude impatiently to the last Areal ±j— f condemned men. "Shut the skylight, Jack," said the skipper, as he poured out his third cup of coffee, Fraser complied, and resuming his' seat, gazed at him with almost inde- cent expectancy. The skipper drop- ped some sugar into his coffee, and, stirring it in a meditative fashion, sighed gently. "I've been making a fool of myself, Jack," he said, at length. "I was always one to be fond of a little bit of adventure, but this goes a little too far, even for me." "But what did you get engaged to her for?" inquired Fraser. Flower shook his head. "She fell violently ' in love with me," he saia mournfully. "She keeps the 'Blue Posts' up at Chelsea. Her father left it to her. She manages her step- mother and her brother and everybody else. I was just a child in her hands. You know my easy-going nature." "But you made love to her," ex- postulated the mate. "In a way, I suppose I did/' ad- mitted the other, "I don't know now whether she could have me up for breach of promise, because when I asked her I did it this way. I said, `Will you be Mrs. Robinson?' What do you think?" "I should think it would make ib harder for you," said Fraser. "But didn't you remember Miss Banks while all this was going on?" "In a way.". said Flower, "yes -in .a way. But after a man's been en- gaged to a woman nine years, it's very easy to forget, and every year makes it easier. Besides, I was only a boy when I was engaged to her," "Twenty-eight," said Fraser. (To be continued).

Asthma is a very curious and baffl- ing disorder. It cannot be properly treated until the underlying cause has been discovered, and that cause rnaY bo different with each sufferer. Any layman can understand that infection or irritation of the air passages by inhaling dust might bring on an at4 back of asthma in anyone who is pre- disposed to it, but no layman could guess that almost every organ of the body may .at some time or • other be at the root of the mischief. Asthma is at different times traceable to bhe kidneys, to the circulation, to the ner- vous system„ the digestive organs or the lungs, to errors in diet, to gout or to skin lesions. Most asthmatic people are nervous in temperament,, and their family his- tory is often poor. They should be taught to guard their general health with great care, to take exercises that will strengthen the chest muscles and to live an outdoor life as far as pos- sible, with daily exercise that stops just short of fatigue. They should never let their feet get cold or wet. Asthmatic people are susceptible bo digestive disturbances, and their diet must be light and simple. . Sea food, especially shell fish, will always bring on an attack in some people; and they must of course avoid it, But there is no routine treatment for asthma; and a good physician will always de- vote himself first to finding out the underlying cause of the symptoms, and then to try to cure the kidney trouble, the gout,' the malaria or the nervous disorder that he thinks is to blame for it. Often his efforts will be rewarded by the complete disap- pearance of the asthma. In obstinate cases the choice of a favorable climate may also be a mat- ter of experiment. One person will find that his attacks disappear at once in a certain locality, although the friend to whom he recommends it will discover that he cannot live there in comfort for a day. Many people do best in a fairly dry clirnate 'where • there are no wide extremes of temper- ature, and, above all, little dust, for dust is the archenemy of all asthma- tics. Others do 'best in a climate that is exactly opposite to that in which they have been living, so that dwellers by the sea are better in the hills, and vice versa. • In a, really bed attack some form of sedative relieffis usually demanded, and for that a physician • should always be called, since self -ad- ministration of sedative medicines is never wise.—Youth's Companion. "Staying Well" Rules. "It isn't necessary to give a lot of time to bhe job of 'keeping fit," says Captain Koehler, director of West Point Military Academy. "Ten or fifteen minutes of setting up exercise, in the morning and a walk every day —not necessarily a long one, but one in which you march briskly like a soldier with your head and chest up and your shoulders back—will work wonders. Do you know why •se many mon are narrow -chested' and weak? It is because they never have given themselves a chance bo breathe and never have given their muscles enough exercise. "Many people, men, women and chil- dren, are semi -invalids most of their lives because of the lack of a few - minutes of daily exercise and also be- cause they have never been taught a proper posture and carriage, such for instance, as we insist upon at all times in cadets; a position in which every organ ef the body is held in its proper •place with ample space to carry on its own partieular function without re- striction, and in which every muscle of the body is :furnishing its own transportation, so to speak, and not depending upon other muscles to do for it what it was intended it should do for itself. "Proper posture; and 'carriage, with shoulders square, chest arched, head erect, and body well stretched from •the `waist' up, will of its own account contribute much toward relieving our people of the many petty and not a few of the serious ills from which they are now suffering. It is the foanda- tion of robust health and should be in- silted' upon in• children from the very beginning until it becomes a habit and- as such will displace the disease - breeding `slouchy' habit now so pre- valent among people of all ages and stations." ---World's Work, Canine Rudders.
