And pushing past Frithiof, he him- self deposited the note in the till and counted out five sovereigns, which he handed with a bow to Sardoni. Then, with a friendly "good day," the singer went out, and Mr Horner, rubbing his hands with an air of great satisfaction, retired to Mr Boniface's • room. to the water.

They sat down to rest in a little shel- tered nook under the high chalk cliffs, and it was there that he poured out to her the confession of his love, being so completely carried away that for once words came readily to his lips, so that Sigrid was almost frightened lay his tiona happiness and a funny sense of relief when the rest of the party climb- ed the hill to the lighthouse, leaving her alone with Roy.

"If we can beat you in mountaizis, you can certainly beat us in trees!" cried Sigrid, her blue eyes bright with hanniness. She was enjoying it all as only those eagerness. How different was this who have been toiling in a great town from Torvald Lundgren's proposal can enjoy the sights and sounds of the country. The most humdrum things had an attraction for her, and when ear , 11 How utterly changed was her whole life since that wintery day when she they _ped by and by for tea, at a ehteadr i walked back from the Bergen cem- stoplittle roadside inn, she almost wished at was it that had made every - their drive at an end, such a longing 1 thing so bright to her since then?

When at last he paused, waiting for her reply, she was for a minute or two quite silent; still her face reassured Roy, and he was not without hope, so that the waiting time was not intoler- able to hina. "If it were only myself to be thought about," she said at length, "I might perhaps give you an answer more readily. But, you see, there are other people to be considered." The admission she had made sent a throb of delight to Roy's heart. Once sure of her love he dreaded no obstacles. "You are thinking of Frithiof," he said. "And of course I would never ask you to leave him; but there would be no need. If you could love me -if you will be my wife -you would be much freer than you now are to help him." The thought of his wealth suddenly flashed into Sigrid's mind, giving her a momentarypang; yet, since she really i loved him, t was impossible that this should be a lasting barrier between them. She looked out over the sea, and the thought of her old home, and of the debts, and the slow struggle to pay them, came to her; yet all the time she knew that these could not separate her from Roy. She loved him, and the world's praise or blame were just noth- ing to her. She could not care in the least about the way in which such a marriage would be regarded by out- siders. She loved him; and when once sure that her marriage would be right -that it would not be selfish, or in any way bad in its effects on -either Frithiof or Swanhild-it was impossible that she should hesitate any longer. But of this she was not quite sure. All had come upon her so suddenly that she felt as if she must have time to think it out quietly before making a definite promise. "Give me a fortnight," she said, "and then I will let you have my anewer. It would not be fair to either of us if I spoke ha'etily when so much is at, stake." Roy could not complain of this sug- bread and butter hall been consumed, they mounted the coach again, leaving a sort of reflection of their happiness in the hearts of the people of the inn. "There's merry makers and merry makers," remarked the landlord, glanc- ing after them; "yon's the right sort, and no mistake." And now Mr Boniface began to enjoy to the fell hie etirprise. How he laugh- ed wheel they implored him to say where they were going! How trium- phant he was when the driver, who was as deaf as a post, utterly declined to answer leading puestions put to him by- Roy! "I believe we are going to Helmstone, or some great watering place, where we shall have to be proper and wear gloves," said Cecil. This was received with groans. "Butto get sight of the sea one would put up with glove wearing," said Sigrid. 'And ,we could, at any rate, walk out into the country, I suppose, for flowers." Mr Boniface only smiled, however, and looked inscrutable. And finding that they could not guess their destin- ation in the least, they took to singing rounds, which made the time pass by very quickly. At length Frithiof start- ed to -his feet with an eager exclama- tion. "The sea!" he cried. And sure enough, there, in the dis- tance, was the first glimpse of a long blue line, which made the hearts of the Norwegians throb with eager delight. "It seems like being at home again, said Swanhild, while Frithiof seemed to drink in new life as the fresh salt wind blew once more upon him, bring- ing back to his mind the memory of many a perilous adventure in his free, careless boyhood. "A big watering place," groaned Roy. "I told you so. -Houses, churches, a parade, and a pier; 1 dan see them all." "'Where? where?" cried everyone, while Mr Boniface laughed quietly and • ,e rubbed his hands.

Children Cry for Pitch It wasTFrithiof who had first discov- ered them; the rest of the party, after seeing the lighthouse, had wandered along the cliffs talking to an old sailor, and Lance being seized with the desire to see over the edge, Frithjof had set. Cecil's mind at rest by lying down with the little fellow and holding him se- curely while he glanceddown the sheer descent to the sea. A little farther on to the left, he suddenly perceived to his horror the two chnging figures, and at once recognized them. Drag- ging the child back, he sprang up and seized the old sailor's arm, interrupt,- ing a long winded story to which Mr Boniface was listening. "There are two people down there, cut off by the tide," he said. "What is the quickest way to reach them?" • "Good Lord?" cried the old man; "why there'll be nought quicker than a boat repritling Gap, or ropes brought from there and let down." "Tell them help is coming," said Frithiof. "I will row around." And without another word he set off, running like the wind toward the coast guard station. On and on he rushed over the green downs, past the little white chalk heaps that marked the coast guard's nightly walk, past the lighthouse and down the hill to the little sheltered cove. Though a good runner, he was sadly out of training; his breath came now in gasps, his throat felt as though it were on fire, and all the time a terrible dread filled to insinuate that I-" • his heart. Supposing he were too late! But Mr Boniface laid a hand on his At Britling Gap not a soul was in arm and. interrupted him. sight, and he dare not waste time seek- • "Frithjof," he said, "you know quite one's legs. He walked along pretty briskly, managing to get soine little enjoyment out of his short respite, and this was well; for it was long before he could enjoy anything again in that un- concerned, free hearted way. Yet no- thing warned him of this; equite care- lessly he pushed open the double swing doors and re-entered the shop, glanc- ing with surprise but with no special concern at the little group behind the counter. Mr Horner was finding fault about something, but that was a very ordinary occurrence. A thin, grave looking man stood listening attentive- ly, and Mr Boniface listened too with an expression of great trouble on his face. Looking up, he perceived Frith- iof, and with an exclamation of relief came towards him. "Here is Mr Falck!' he said: "who no doubt will be able to explain everything satisfactorily. A five pound note has somehow disappeared from your till this afternoon, Frithiof; do you know anything about it?" ' "It was certainly in the till when 1 last opened it," said Frithiof; "and that was only a few minutes before I went out." "Very possibly," said Mr Horner. "The question is whether it was there when you shut it again." The tone even more than the words made Frithiof's blood boil. "Sir," he said furiously, "do you dare ing help. The boat was in its usual place on the beach. He shoved It out to sea, sprung into it, paused only to fling off his coat, then with a desperate energy pulled toward the place where Roy and Sigrid awaited their rescuer with fast failing strength. And yet in all Frithiof's anxiety there came to him a strange sense of satis- faction, an excitement which banished from his mind all the specters of the past, a consciousness of power that in itself was invigorating. Danger seem- ed to be his native element, daring his strongest characteristic, and while straining every nerve and making the little boat bound throw throurrh the water, he MARRIAGE LICENSES.-1:PPLY TO THE But undersigned at the Library Rooms.

But this note has disappeared in a very extraordinary way, while only you and Darnell were in the shop, and we must do our best to trace it out. I am sure you will help me in this disagreeable business by going through the ordinary form quietly.' Then, turning to the private detec- tive who had been hastily called in by Mr Horner, he suggested that they should come to his own room. Mr Horner shut the door with an air of satisfaction. From the first he had detested the Norwegian and now was delighted to feel that his dislike was MONEY TO I.

Beside him stood the tall Norwegian, his fair face showing all too plainly the burning.color that had rushed to his face the instant he knew that he lay actually under suspi- cion of thieving. Mr Horner's words still made him quite tingle from head to foot, and he could gladly have taken the man by the throat and shaken the breath out of him. For the suspicion, hard enough for any man to bear, was doubly hard to him on account of his nationality. That the Norwegian should be otherwise than strictly hon- orable was to Frithiof a monstrous idea He knew well that he and his countrymen in general had plenty .of faults, but scrupulous honesty was in- grained in his Norse nature, that to have the slightest doubt cast upon his honor was to him an intolerable insult.

"Let us walk back quickly,' said Mr Boniface, "that we may be ready to meet them," and with an intensity of relief they hurried back to Britling Gap, arriving just in time to greet the three as they walked up the beach. Sigrid, thoughratherpale and exhaust- ed, seemed little the worse of the ad- venture, and a glad color flooded her cheeks when Mr lt'oniface turned to Frithiof and, grasping his hand, thank- ed him warmly for what he had done. Cecil said scarcely anything; she could • hardly trust herself to speak, but her heart beat fast as, glancing at Frithiof, she sew on his face the bright look which made him once more like the Frithiof she had met long ago at Bergen • Castoria.
