It seemed strange to him to find
such a wild, weird lopttlity ef dense •
wood so near the throbbing heart of
the great metropolis, lad yet so isola-
ted. It was not so easy to find the path
that led to tfie main road.
Night came on all too quickly; the
finding of his way back seemed an utter ,
impossibility; besides, his home was
tired. There seemed no other way for
It than to- picket his .horse and wait
patiently for morning,. despite the
threatened storm.
Thus it happened when the bolt of

It on fire, fate .had decreed that Allan
Drexel shmild be near atehand; _he
was scarcely a hundred yards Battey.
All in a moment- the sky was lit up
by a red glare of light, and over the
terrific force of the storm he heard a
woman's cry for help, . •
Leaving his horse securely tied, he
made his way toward the scene of the •
eonflagration at once.
"Help! help!". cried the voice again
fainter than before, and there was ,
something lir the tone which sent al
strange tremor to Allan's heart.
At- the first glance as he approached,

,What would any one be doing there,
especially a woman, and at such an.
hour? No eloubt it was some belated

In an instant he had adjusted the lad-

of smoke, a sheet girlfsh 'form aut.

' A few words sufficed to explain the

his overjoyed wife,' who recerved poor
• helpless Coralie from Altana arrai at

In the meantime 'Allan insisted upon

heir 01011 the Drexel estate, and be
himselt was now penniless,
But even In nate moment he thanked
God that be should be able to give his
darling back her inheritance,
He. would give her all, and go out
into .the world beginning life anew
with his two hands, a clear head and
.willing heart. Coralie should not
think that he was wooing and winning
her again for her wealth.
There sbould be no contest, no wain
-
to law over the matter. Comae should
have ber own, and ho thanked God
that since the business had been put
into hie thands Ile had. nearly dented
the revenue of the estate. '
This put quite a different face on the
matter. He must go away, earn- a
name for hireself in the great world of
men 'commence life wahotit a dialer,.
and 'When he had achieved something,
then, yes, then, he would come to
Coralie, lay his heart and hand at her
feet, and pray her to love him, to be
his in truth' as well as in name. '
It was a bitter decielon, but he felt
that it 'was the only way under the
'circumstances for he was not Allan
Drexel, the millionaire • owner of the
Drexel silk mills now, but a penniless
fellow, without name or position. What
a strange turit in the wheel of fate!

mored cruifiere, was successfully
launched in the Clyde On Saturday.
She is 17,250 tons, ie 530 feet long, ex-
ceeding the older armored-cruisere by
50 feet, has turbine engines, and is
expected to attain a speed of 26 knots

By epecial order of the admiralta,
the •greatest secreey is being Main-
tained concerning The details of the
construction of this, the largest ende-
ar in the world.. The cost of the Te-
dornitable is approximately $8.729,-

actual status has not been definitely
set forth, tuff' it is believed She ap-
proaches nearer to. a battleship in

Sir William Pearce, the chairman

after the launching. He said he was
not permitted to give any information
regarding the cruiser, and that she
must remain a mystery until the offi-
cial trials or until the admiralty saw
fit to take the public into Its confi-
dence. Rear Admiral •Bearcroft also
spoke at the luncheon. Ile said he
was conadent that the Indomitable, n
