"Oh, no, no, thanks!" she returned .quickly -it seemed to him nervously, as if she did not wish him to enter her hat -and. v'ith another nod, he shouldered his gun and went off. CIIAI'TER. VI, Nina finished her own "spring clean" and, the strain being relaxed, began to feel lonely. It was perhaps for the best, in respects, that he shouldoff some res c t t go 1 for the day; it lessened the embar- rassment of the situation; hut she thought rather wistfully of the hours she must spend' in solitude. And to pass theca she resolved to rearrange his own hut. Sleeping in the nu'n'S was not nearly so comfort - sable for him, and -and besides he was farther away from her than in the cabin he and Pleming had occu- pied; and though she was not nerv- ous, she was conscious that she liked to have him within call. She went dawn to the hut after awhile, and entered it shyly and hesi- tatingly. Iler \cornea's sense of neat - mess and order was shocked by the -untidiness of the place, and she set to work to clear and rearrange it. • While she was folding and packing Fleming's few belonging and putting alum in box, she came across the 'Weed .of (diary "log" he had kept on board the Alpines She sat clown and turned its pages and found several references to herself and Siam -wring. One •of them caught her attention, rand •she pondered over. it. It ran -thus: "The fellow -passengers I like hest ;are a Miss Vernon -her Christian manse may be Christina; she is called Nina by her father. She is a very lovely and lovable girl. Her father, a doctor, has corse out for change and rest. IIe is a savant of the old ,school, a learned and an absent - c minded man. She is, I aur sure, as ;good as she is beautiful, and her ;light-heartedness and amiability have ,(lone much to make the voyage so •far a delightful one. I walk and talk • with her frequently. I7ow happy will ,bo the •roan who is fortunate enough ;to win her love!" 'Nina blushed at this assertion, and looked up from the diary with a sigh. Then she read on: "The other is a ratan named Vane Mannering.

I consider myself favored by his liking, if the word is not too strong; at any rate, he does not shun pre, and is even willing to stroll about the deck and chat. If I were a novelist I would construct a romance round him; it seems to me that he is just the kind of roan who may have bad what the lady writers call 'a past.' I don't mean a guilty past; no, there is something about him which impresses me with a sense of his worthiness.

The journal was continued to the day of Fleming's death, and his anxiety on her account, his plan of a marriage with itiannoring, even the reasons for it, were set down. "1 had hard work to induce him to take the course I myself pressed on him," Nina read; "and even after he had agreed to the marriage, and I had gained Miss Nina's consent, he partly executed an idea of escape for her and me in order' to avoid the ceremony. I respect his scruples. Alas they will have to yield to inexorable Fate! I am flying! .I must slake them man and wife before I go. It must be so, for her sake, for the sake of her future. Heaven will, I feel, give me strength to perform the ceremony, though it may not vouchsafe me suf- ficient to set it down here. I hope I am acting for the best for both of them, If not, as Mannering said, may Cod forgive me!" It was the last entry; he did not live to make another; and Nina's eyes, as she bent over the book, fill- ed with tears. And her heart, too, was filled with bitterness. It tor- tured her pride to read, in black and white, Mannering's objection to, dislike of, the marriage. But she put the book at the bot- tom of the box in which she had a raft -in which a... -we -can matte e, cruise of discovery." She listened earnestly and forgot to serve she remembered it, r r and with a start begged his pardon and took his plate. "I also found more evidence of gold:.

"Ah," he said, rather resentfully. "I always had, even as a boy, a suspicion of fraud in those shipwreck stories; but I little thought that the thing was so tragic and uncomfort- able as it is. "I ata sorry you are not comfort- able," she said. Then she remember- ed the two she had lost, and the ' He saw tears came uinto her eyes.' them and tried to divert her mind, "We haven't tried the old trick they always perform in the adventure hooks -sending empty bottles with 'We are shipwrecked on an unknown island. help us! :Rescue!'

"Yes, but your people: their an- xiety will be, roust be, very great,•' he said, gravely. "I haven't any people," she. replied, "My father and I were alone in the world. I suppose we must have re- latives, but I never heard of .them. We lived for one another." After a pause she saki, with her eyes on the table: "lf you would like to try to conununicate with ,your people I will sacrifice my bottle," He shrugged his shoulders. "It's of no coaenquenee." She looked at him with almost Startled surprise. "Your sister, brother? Why, surely you have some one?" "Why should I any more than placed Fleming's things, and set to work vigorously. There were very few articles belonging to Mannering. He who had thought of so many necessary things for the rest had, apparently, ignored his own comfort. There were a few spare clothes which quickly, timidly, and, of cotit•se, with- out examination, she folded and laid aside, with a strange sense of shy- ness. It seemed to her as if he might resent her interference; but surely it was her duty to "tidy" the place and make it comfortable. It was the Least she could do for hint who did so touch for her. She did away with Fleming's "bed," and altered the arrangement of the rough furniture so as to give the room as different an aspect as possible, and she completed her work by putting on the table a bunch of gloriously -colored flowers in an empty bottle. While she was peaking up the posy her eyes caught the signet ring which Simmering had placed on her finger for a wedding ring. s Be sure it was not the first time she had looked at it; indeed, it seemed to her that even in her sleep she had been conscious of its pre- sence. But now, after reading the paragraph in Fleming's diary, sho viewed it with a' feeling of revolt against the Prate that had placed it there: and, obeying a sudden impulse, she took it off and slipped it in her pocket. The moment she had done so she was vaguely sorry; she missed the thing; her finger looked bare and "unclad" without it. But she was too proud to put it on again. No, it should not remind him every time that he glanced at her hand of the unwelcome tie which bound him to her. It was late before Mannering came slowly over the hill and towards the saloon -as Nina had decided to call the men's hut -and, as she iooked'at him, she saw that he was very tired. Now she had on her best skirt -the one she had been mending when Flouting came to propose U P osC the e ma r- r}age to her.She had tacked a bit of dark blue ribbon under her collar and had done her wonderful hair had more care. than she taken since 'elle wreck, :ler freshness and the general ef- fect of these attempts at adornment -he was too much of a mere man to take in the details -struck Manner- ing, and he said apologetically: If you'll wait a moment, I'll go to the stream and have a wash and tidy up."

"Are you not going to smoke?" she asked after a moment or two. He thanked her and sat down on the ground before the fire and lit his pipe. IIe was terribly tired, and presently, as she glanced towards him, she saw his head fall on his breast -he had Callen into a doze. His attitude was an uncomfortable one, and she longed to put some- thing for hint to lean agr.inst. The desire grew so intense -she told her- self that it was only because the sight of hint sitting so "fidgetted" her -that she stole on tip -too to him, As she stood over trim hesitatingly her eyes wandered over his face and form. She noticed the short curls that clustered closely on the bend of the strong neck, the great shoulders, broad yet flat, the handsome face, the grace of the whole figure. The thought flashed across her that he was the best looking man she had ever seen. And how tired he was! The maternal instinct, which lies dormant in all women, awoke in her and her heart ached with pity for hint. She drew the box gently against his back. But the touch, gentle as it was, awoke him; in a moment he was on his feet and had seized her arm in a grasp of iron, his vacant eyes glaring at her sternly. She thought he was going to strike her, but suddenly he was awake fully and staring at her with dismay. "I -I beg your pardon!" he stam- mered. "1 umst have fallen asleep; and X dreamt that the Lascar had come back. I must have thought you were he and -oh, I beg your pardon!" "If you'd let my arm go," she said with n pninful smile.
