The Adventures
of a Coward
Copyright NEW S5RIAL STORY, .
"You women are are all change-
able!" he said bitterly,
"Perhaps we are; but it was never
you that I loved. It \V:18 annther
Arthur."
"What do you mean?"
"It was seem one who was brave
and good—not one who—who be-
haved as you did."
Patty came on deck wit) a red
sunshade she had borrowed.
"Very well," said Arthur, "you are
the loser."
He walked to Patty's eide, hum -
ening a tune carelessly. But Patty
found him inattentive for many a
minute .
Pen was weak and tired. She felt
tears rise to her eyes. She had been
very fond of Arther. She was fond
of him still, but not with the old
fondness. That - had died or ever
on the night of the shipwreck. Would
it ever come to life again? She saw
the sun glint on his hair as ha bent
to speak to Patty Campbell. How
she had .adeured that caressing mo-
tion, as lie seemed to bow before
women. He had the mannerof a
Bayard, she had told herself, but etas
that was all that could be said. He
was a coward, Pen whispered to her-
self—an arrant despicable coward!
She meld not understand that the
man had been actually beside MIMl!
'with fear and in .each a condition
was not answerable for his actions.
Hee toe,. we dead, and be eae, a
stern young judge, 1)11(1 condemned
Arthur with merciless severity.
"I am engaged to your -ecetein,"
Said Patty that evening, drawing: Pen
aside to a corner!of the sateen, "He
proposed to me this refterneon, and
I accepted him."
"Have you told your uncle?" Pee
asked,
"No; I have not seen him."
"You should tell him at °neve"
said Pen.
"He will know in good time," said
Patty, 08 she looked at Pen with
searching eyes, "I hope you like the
engagement?"
Pen hesitated. Tier eyelids demo, -
ed before Patty's searching look.
"1-1 hope you will be happy,"
she said faintly.
There was a. 521)110 01 Petle face

because the was jealous. It had been
front an emotion which Patty. would
have been the last to define. It had

much amused at such a We., and
jokes did not appeal to Patty as
rule.
Pen found to her surpriee that
the passengers already knew of the
engagement. The pair were publicly
congratulated the next day. Arthur
could !never be welcomed by the
other men, but for Miss Campbell's
and her unele's sake—it was taken
for granted that he had given his
consent—the coolness towards him
was allowed to lapse. Thenight of
the shipweeck should be forgotten.
The following day a message was
brought to Pen that Mr. Ferguson
wished to speak to her. He was ly-
ing on one of the couches of the
smoking -room, which was empty ex-
cept for him. Pen went elewly to-
wards him. They were getting now
into tropical beg, and Pen had found
that the fur coat which she had
worn on the night of the shipwreck
was unbearable. With the help Of
the golden -haired lady she hd
stitched together a calico garment.
She did not know how well the deed
white suited her 'dusky eyes end hair,
though the second officer had tried
to tell her so a dozen
"1 have iUst
8041 my aieeo,"
Mr. Ferguson abruptedly. raised
himself of his elbow and waved Pen
to a chair beside him. He did not
offer to, shake hands with her. "Sit

Pen sat down. Mr. Fergueon look-
ed ill; elm had not thought he had
been so ill.

sand again, and frowned. "This
morning 1 was told by the (10 Lor
that she is engaged to your cousin,
Mr. Delany. I sent for her to hoer
whether it is true. She says 'hat she
i engaged to him. Every one has
heard of it, seemingly, but me."
"1 think most people know."
"I do slot approve of it," sael Mr.
Ferguson.
He tapped impatiently en the back
of the couch. Hie mouth set in the.
firm lines which his Hoe's sometimes
aesumed. A. smile came. thee Pen'e
eyes; elm saw- the likeness.
"My niece says that my aneroval
does not matter," said grimly. "I
think that you may have something
to tell her which may change her
sentiments in regard to Mr, De-
lany."
There was a pause. He turned his
head and glanced at her burning
cheeks; then /10 looked away again
quickly,
"No, I hyo not," said Pee at
length.
"You have not?"
"No, I have nothing to say. Miss
Campbell saw what happened on the
night of the shipwreck as well as I
did!" said Pen firmly. "If that makes

"Yes, if that makes no differ:ego,"
said Mr. Ferguson slowly, He frown.

port -hole, "I do not like Mr. De-

He looked up in some surprise.
"How do you know 11?"
"Oh, 1. know,"
"1 did not • care for hire before the
shipwreck; after—" Mr, Forgueon
made a motion of his hand which n-
egated Arthur to a position beneath
contempt.
"Ho is a coward!" said Pen, She
half sobbed. "But he is my •cousin."
"And there is no reason why he
should not bo engaged. La my nioee?"
No reason," said Pen.
"He was not 'engaged to another
girl when he asked her?"

"He was not."
Mr. Ferguson looked away and
drummed impatiently with his lingers
upon the couch,
Pen sat and waiter:. She saw that
he had not finished.
"I cannot stop her ding what sh

Mr. Ferguson with wistful beseeching
eyes. "You must believe me. I
have nothing to say."
He bowed his head.
"I do believe you," he eeid; "that
ends the »ratter."
Pen rose from her chair and moved
towards the door. She remembered
that she had forgotten to eel: Mr.
Ferguson how lie was; tit the door
she looked back.
"1 never asked how you were," she
said.
Her face was full of rympatIty,
her eyes shone with kindnees. He
raised his own and looked It her.
"1 am better, thank youl" he ',aid.
"Yon dkl a great deal for us all
the night of the shipwreck and after-
wards. You kept up our spirit';, and
we have never thanked you for what,

"You make too much of it; I did
110 more than the othere.,
"You did. You were. the one
who clid everything."
Pooh. He smiled. Yoe are
101 enthuelastic about nothing!"
Pen felt snubbed. She opened
the door and left the ealoon.
Mr. Fergueon appeared on deck
two days later. He would nave been
teeeived with an ovation 8r1,11
passengers but that his man ter -or-
bade nny such demonstration. Ho
was freezingly cold. The golden,
hired lady would nave re had at
him end hailed hill in lo (1 good

"T f,•10 myself turned into .1 block

stud.
I -Te returned to the eolith*, habits
that had been his before the Alp -
wreck. He walked the &el: illone
for exereise., and spoke to no one at
meals, Pen heard that he wee never

men, Pat Lyon haunted his foot -

Arthur's engagement to Miss
Campbell was understood by all to be
a settled thing, Pon knew that there
had been several interviews between
uncle and niece, and that relations
between them were strained. Patty
said little, but then were firm lines
ntbout her mouth which reminded
Pen very strongly of Mr. Ferguson.
Arthur Delany had no woed with
hee uncle. Mr. Ferguson appeared
not to see him, At meals Arthur
contrived that he should not sit near
Mr, Ferguson's party, Pen heard
Patty complain to him of this, but
he assured her that it WM1 far bet -

not be neighbours,

Pat Lyon's aunt was to meg hen.
All were anxious to land to telegn ph
to relatives and friends that 1.1 ey
were safe, and to buy themeelvee he
clothes and articles which had been
e lost in the shipwrecked vessel,
r captain told Pen that Mr. Ferguson
u had arranged for the p00050 en es-
t engers each to have sums of money
O given to them at that port.

t
Pcn was always receiving confid-
e ! mites. There was something in her
1 face which made her tru.terl by any
I man or woman who looked upon it.
They steamed into Calloa, the
t Jport of Lima. Patty looked at the
rows of small white 11011805 With
horror. The sun was blazing upon
their whiteness, and the debris of the
last earthquake had not been cleared
awa4"What an awful land!" she said.
She would not admire the magnifie-
ent harbour with its many ships and
I busy trade.
All were on deck, eager to be off
the steamer. There was laughing
and wry faces were made at their
side to go to the telegrapn office and
strange attire as they left the ship's
the station.
1 "At least we've no bother with
luggage," said the golden -haired
lady.
Pat Lyon was able to give tbe ad-
dress of his aunt. He had it on on

"Father said I was to keep it there
in veer. I got lost," he explained.
Arthur was on the eame train
-which took them from the (Melee te
Lima. What arrangement he and
Patty had made • was not known.
Arthur had not spoken to Pen, and
he had drawn Patty into the same
silence; but he yeas in the '101110 train
though La another carriage.
Nothing vould please Pa tty, $he
grumbled at the hog, at the and
at the railway, with glaneee at her
uncle. He was silent, looking out
of the window, and Pen believed that
he did not hear what his niece said.
In the carriage with them was Pat
Lyon, who had been handed over in-
n Pon's .charge, or, rather, he had
taken her in chargein the most nat-
ural mariner in the world,
"I like you, though you .ere gird,"
he red, "and T shall stay with you
until my aunt comes."
The second officer had been left
behind at Callao. The captain and
officers had many formalities to go
throligh at the port in connection
with lost ship, and would be detained
there hours, if not clays. The secomi
officeNhad almost wept at saying
"Good-bye!' He would have offered
himself end his poor fortunei to Pen
had he thought himself to have the.
ghost of a chance; hut he knew he
had none.

to Lima, and they were soon there,

"I seem to knew his face."
"He is 121'. Ferguson," replied Pen,
"I don't know the name," said
Mrs, Jones; and she told Pat to say
"Good-bye!"
Patty had stood aside. Her at-
titude said plainly that she did not
regard Mrs. Jones as any one worth
knowing. Arthur had already found
a carriage and driven away in haste
to get some decent clothes.
Pat shed no tears. He diedained
to cry, but there was a suspicious
moisture in his eyes.
"You don't think I'm crying?" he
asked Pen, and she assured hii, that
she did not.
"You are a girl, so you may cry,"
he said.
He would not look back as he
walked away by the side of Mrs.
Jones, a queer little figure in his
white calico dross, but Pen knew
that he was crying. -
They drove to the hotel. Patty
refused to go shopping in her pre-
sent attire. Pen was in her calico
gown; and Patty was in borrowed
plumes. Mr. Ferguson leas better
off, as he had hie own clothes and
had been able to borrow begs, col-
lars and ties. But he also wanted
new clothes.
A. messenger was sent from the
hotel to the shops. Pen went to Mr.
Ferguson and told him "lie had no

"My niece will have her way," said '
Mr. Ferguson, looking at them one
day as they walked through the
square. Arthur had fitted himself
out with a complete suit of clothes
which, if not as well made as a Lone!
don tailor's, did very well for Lima.
The loose drill suit and broad Pan-
ama straw hat made him look hand-
somer than ever. He and Patty
Campbell were a goodly pair. Many

and at the dark girl following them

Out of Business
Just one of the news items which arc appearing in papers
quite too often those day:: throughout the Dominion. And
what is the reason? There is only one, and that is lack of
loyalty to home ;institutions and the lure of the flashing
publicity of the large city estebliehmente. Many citizens,
while earning their wages and enlarges in one place, never-
theless send a large proportion of this money out of the
community for questionable bargains, thus depriving such
community of that much neceesary working capital.

Do the Same
They have local firms who are able and ready to supply
them with all their requirements., yet for the most trivial
reason or excuse they will consent to extend this patronage
to outside firms, thus helping to build up distant cities at
the expense of their home town. They seem to forget that
this money so sent out might otherwide have been largely
returned to them by those with whom they should have loft
this business. Therefore, when in need of printed matter of
any kind, whether fernier, business man or professional man,
