To sink American vessels or drown

ni she had everything ready for the

peace were made public at a time when
she had everything in order to carre
nut her devilish purpose. Her promisee
to the United Stutes were, ap we have
said, a more blind, and her pewee eta
fere, were not intended to be taken. ser-
iously. This latest submarine earn -
Deign was not kept back for any ether
reason than that Germany WAS 110t
ready to launch it. It is on a Par with
the Zeppelin outrages, and the hope le
that it will meet a similar fate,
THE SUBMAIUNE FAILURE.
We have the cheerIne statement of
Lord Curzon that Admiral Jellicoe

and that he le quite pleaeed with the
nunaber of German eubmarines that
win never return to their owa shoreo.
They bave been bagged by the British.
This is good news. Another matter for
congratulation is that Adneirat • Lord
Bereeford is satisfied vith •the situa-
tion. He is the admiralty's arch critic,
and .when he admits that it is doing
well nobody else heed complain. He
says that Britain has toed four million
tons of. shipping since the war began,
but that three million of this has been
made good. l'ho situation might be ser-
ious1. says his lordship but there is no
reason for panic.
Speaking for the Admiralty, Lord
14 tton declared that everything WAS
being 'done that ingenuity could de•

forced a laugh that sounded hollow

Signe took no heed of him but ran
to the furthest end of the tower, and
looked:dyer with • the Retention of

glance howed her that to leap meant
a broken limb, if not death.With a
low moan she turned and faced him.

the trying scene was beginning ,to tell
on her strength, and she felt physi-
cally weak and faint; and yet tae sit -
tuition was almost absurd. She knew
tor a certainty that he would not harm
her; mad with Jealousy as he was. she
knew that 'he would have died tether
than lay a finger upon • her; but -she
oleo felt convineed that he would keep
her there the whole night, and the
mere thought of such a cataetroPho
drove her to despair.
For a =Anent, as the moonlight tell
upon his white, haggard lace, the
thought that the whole scene must be
a horrid dream, and that she should
wake and find herself in her room at
the Rectory% Then, as he moved, he
knehtthat it was real. and a low cry
rose front her parehed lip a and cleaved
the air. The cry seemed to Wring his
heart.
"Your promise," he eried; "that is

"Come, give me the key," he 8414,
firellly, but riot roughly, "I am not to

"I will not," said Sir Frederic,
awakening as if from a stupor. "This

you have no eight to interfere bee

hand front my shoulder -I"
"Tile Itey-the.key! Give ltint the

hands in her terror.
}lector Warrea looked round at her
with a, reaesuringasmile.
"Come, Sir Frederic," he said, "Be
reasonable. Let me have the key, Tide
area—it is nothing Mere these a farce
-has been played long enough. YOU
have alarmed MISS Grenville' by Your
tonefeolery, and should be a,shaxned of
yourself. Give me the key,"
"I will not," kaki Sir Frederic, with
the intense stubbornness tef a man
half insane. "She haa but to give me
her promise, and I will not only give
her tile icey, but imolore her pardon."
"Promise -what promise?" demand-
ed Hector Warren, sternly.
"Do not tisk him!" implored Signe,
tt hurtling flesh preading over her
ace. "Persuade him to let you have
the key, and let tte go. Every moment
is one of intolerable misery to me!"
"-Vent hear!" said electer Warren,
ominously. "Tile key -the keyi"
"I will not give It to you," said Sir
Frederic, sultenly. "Saj, what you
will -do what you will, she shall not
leave here till I have her promise."
"You will not!". said Hector Ware
Then, before Sir Frederic could'
guess at. his Intention, he had seized
him by his arm, and dragged him in
the buttress.
Signa sprang toward them with a
ery of alarm.
"Oh, eyhat is it you mean to do?
Hestor?"-the word slipped out before
she was aware elf it -"you will not
hurt him?"
"Listen!" be said, sternly, with
fierce determination in his votes, "You
tell me that you mean to Iteep 1111ss
Grenville in this place till dawn. You
know what that means; you are not
so bad as not to understand that by
so doing you subject her to scandal,
that Yoe run the risk of injuring her
reputation. That may be your inten-
tion, perhaps. I am indifferent as to
your intention, end think only of the
result. Now listen to me. 1 intend
that she shall leave here within au
hour, You say that you will not give
up the key?"
"I3y Heaven, I will not!" said Sir
Frederic, hoarsely. •
"Good! Then I am going for assist-
ance. But you will' go with me, Do
you understand? No?': and he grasp-
ed him suddenly round the shoulders
and sprung upon the buttress. "I
mean to leap from this beastly place,
and to take you with me. Are you
ready?"
Sir Frederic glanced down; the
darkness into which he gazed seemed
to strike him with a sudden chill.
"Are you ready?" demanded Hector
Warren, calmly, sternly.
"Stop -stop -I do not 'care! I will
etay! sbrieked Signe. But Hector
_Warren seemed deaf even to her.
"Once more -ani you will nod!
Come, then!" and with a herculein
grasp he dragged Sir Frederick to
the edge.
And at this moment his opponent's
courage 'failed him. •With a shudder-
ing leak into the darkness below he
drew back,eaded thrusting his hand in-
to his poeketr drew out the key and
flung it on the ground without a word.
Without a word Hector Warren se-
cured the key, and going calmly and
quietly to the gate, unlocked it. Then
inc opened it wide and motioned to Sir
Frederic,
"Go" he said, slowly, and with to
despairing glance fell of anguish an"!
despair, Sir Frederic,passed down the
broken stairs. They heard him stag-
gering like a drunken man till his
footstep S were drowned on the turf.
. CHAPTER XVIII.
Silent and trembling, Signa leant
against the stonework of the tower,
her hand pressed to her laeart, her
breath coming in Quick, sbort gave.
The horror of the scene was still meet
her, and yet a faint thrill 01 Joy was
beginning to flutter in her bosom, for
she began to realiee that ltector War-
ren was Standing beside ber. Quite
anent he stood, not talking at her
waiting with the truest, battiest, ten-
derness, that she mloht have tInm to

"Are you rested now?" he asked,
and hth voice, winch when she had
heard it a few ntinutes before was ao
stem that it struck terror even to her
innocent soul, was as soft and gentle
as a woman's.
The simple questIon, the gentle
voice, brought the tears to Signa's
eyes, and she put up leer hand hastily
to wipe them away.
"Yes -yes, quite," site mUrraured,

"I strolled In the moonlight till I
came to *the tower, and was looking
up at it, when I heard your voice; Ao
matter! No more of this! Remember,
it is only an ugly, miserable dream!
And now -how does it happen that
you are here?" and he looked down
at her with tender, 'earnest anxiety..
'1 was -1 am on a Visit to the Park;
Lady Blyte asked nee -Sir Frederic
was itetaY," she winced at the name -
"and she felt lonely, and wished inc
to come."
"1 understand," he said, in a low
voice. "And she -she did not know
lie was here?" •
"No, no, a thousand times no! I
ant sure of that!" said Signe, earn-
estly, "And now-ahl what am 1 to
do? I cannot go back to the hottsel"
and she raised her eyes to his with
real alarm.
"No; certainly not," he said, :calmly.
"Do yon know the nearest path across
the Park to the Rectory?" the asked,
as it It were the most natural question
in the world.
Signe, started.
"What will they say?" She looked

"What will they say to your return-
ing so late at night and unexpected,
and escorted by nee?" he said, witle
that calm, masterful air whittle •In-
spires confidence even in Geo most
timid of women. "You must leave
that to me. I will explain--"
"You will not telt thein—"
"Does ono over tell one's bad
dreams?" he asked, with a grave smile.
"No. You shall leave it all to me. Are
you sure you are Aron, enougli to
walk yet?"
Signs, sighed, but the sigh wan of a
different nature to that which had a
few minutes before burst from her pale
lips.
"I am quite sure," she answered,
simply.
And it was true. Her heart bilhl
beat fast and furiously, but a feeling
a- quiet. serenity and peace was be-
ginning' to fall over ner like a refresh -
Ing dew;
The blood crept back slowly to ber
lips, the terrified expression vauished
from her eyes, and a soft, tremulous
glow took Its place. It was almoet as
if she bad: obeyed Ins command, and
had 'taken the horror of the last few
minutes as a dream from Which 010
had now awakened.
Looking down at her in the moon-
llglat, he saw the cbange that had
come over her lovely. face, and hie
own brow lightened, and he drew her
arm still mare closely to his side.
So they walked along the narrow
path in silence. Slott tried to speak,
to find some words In which to express
the heartfelt gratitude toward him
'that throbbed in every vein of her
body, but she could not. A eensatioo,
half of delight, half of pain, vas talc-
ing possession of her, and she oimost
fancied, as she loolced tip at the star-
lit sky, that this, too, would prove it
dream, and that elle should wake and
find that Ile had gone. Presently they
came to a seat millet. a tree, and with-
out a word he led her to it..
"You must rest a few minutes," he
said,. gently.
"I am not tired, indeed I ant not.
And -I am afraid it, is dreadfully
late," and she smiled, but she sat
down nevertheless.
He stood beside her, and took out
his watch.
"It is not so late. No, I will not
tell you the time," he ndded, as she
opened her lips. "What is the mat-
ter?". for she bent forward with, a
sudden pallor and a low cry.
"Your haled!" she murmured.
lie looked dome at his outstretched
hatid; It was cut and tom, and was
streaked with blood,
"It Is nothing," he Said, with It

If In the sheltering circle of my Arms

Nor I may feel the touch that titmilis

Of helpless, searching lipa againet

Yet for the mace of that beloved child,
Of whom my dream le ever, night

Teach me the reenter spirit, tender,
mild,
That from no ehildiali need' can tum

And 11 the love that I had hold so sure
Grow slim and distant till it vaniell

Grant me that changeless love that
shall endure
Strong and sufficient tor earth's

Take from my heart all bitterness and

Until these futile, selfish strivings
cease;
Uee Thou the life I should but spend
in vain,
And in the joy of service grant me

oysters are taken from their lids and
carefully peened; a tiny speck of
