"GCi" she says. "I want to Fee Mrs.
Crayford. Find her! Say I am here,
waiting to speak to her. Go at oncc,
Frank—for my sake!"
There is no alternative but to obey
her. His eyes drink a last draught of
her beauty. He hurries away on his
errand—tho happiest man in the room.
Five minutes since, she was only his
partner in the dance. He has spoken
—and she has pledged herself io be his
partner for life!
CHAPTER IV.
T was not easy to
find Mrs. Crayford
in tho crowd.
Searching hero and
searching the r e,
Frank became con-
scious of a stranger,
who appeared to bo
looking for some-
body on his side.
He was a dark,
heav y - browed,
strongly-built man; dressed in a shab-
by old naval officer's uniform. His
manner—strikingly resolute and self-
contained -was unmistakably the man-
ner of a gentleman. He wound his way
slowly through tho crowd; stopping to
look at every lady whom he passed, and
then looking away again with a frown.
Little by little ho approached the con-
servatory—entered it, after a mo-
ment's reflection—detected the glim-
mer of a white dress in the dis-
tance, through tho shrubs and flowers
—advanced to get a nearer view of the
lady—and burst into Clara's presence
with a cry of delight.
She sprang to her feet. She stood
before him speechless, motionless,
struck to stone. All her life waa in her
eyes—the eyes which told her the was
looking at Richard Wardour. lie was
the first to speak.
"I am sorry I startled you, my darl-
ing. I forgot everything but the hap-
piness of seeing you again. Wo only
reautied our moorings two hours since.
I wfcs some time inquiring after you,
and some time getting ray ticket, when
they told me you were at tho ball.
Wish me joy, Clara! I am promoted.
I have come back to make you my
wife."
A momentary change passed over the
blank terror of her face. Her co'.or
rose faintly, her lips moved. She
abruptly put a question to him:
"Did you get my letter?"
He started. "A letter from you? 1
never received it."
The momentary animation died out
of her face again. She drew back from
him, and dropped into a chair. He ad-
vanced toward her, astonished and
alarmed. She shrank in the chair
shrank, as if she u.is frightened of
hint.
"Clara! you ha\o not even shaken
hands with me! What does it mean?"
He paused, waiting, and watching
.her. She made no reply. A flash of
the quick temper in him leaped up in
his eyes. He repeated hla last words
in louder and sterner tones: "What
does it mean?"
She replied this time. His tone had
hurt her—his tone had roused ;ier sink-
ing courage. "It means, Mr. Wardour,
that you have been mistaken from the
first."
"How have I been mistaken?"
."You have been under a wrong im-
pression, and you have given me no
opportunity of setting you right.-'
"In what way have 1 been wrong?"
"You have been too hasty and too
confident about yourself and about me.
You have entirely misunderstood me.
I am grieved to distress you, but for
your sake I must speak plainly. I am
your friend always, Mr. Wardour. I
can never be your wife."
He mechanically repeated tho last
words. He seemed to doubt whether
he had heard h«r araiglu. "You can
never b® my wife?"
"Never!"
"Why?"
There was no answer. She was in-
capable of telling him a falsehood.
She was ashamed to tell him the
truth.
He stooped over and suddenly pos-
sessed himself of her hand. Holding
her hand firmly, he stooped a little
lower, searching for the signs which
might answer him In her face. His
own face darkened slowly while ho
looked. He w as beginning to susp«, i
her, and he acknowledged It in his next
words.
"Something has changed you toward
me, Clara. Somebody has influent-* I
you against Is It- you forco me to
ask the quest inn Is It some other
man ?"
"You have uo light to ask mo that "
He went on without noticing what
the fee* eU4 m bin. "Has that elher
man como between you and me? I
speak plainly on my side. Speak plain-
ly on yours."
"I have spoken. 1 have nothing more
to say."
There was a pause. She saw the
warning light which told of the fire
within him, growing brighter and
brighter In his eyes. She felt his grasp :
strengthening on her hand. She heard
hint appeal to her for the last time, j
"Reflect," lie said, "reflect before it '
is too late. Your silence will r.ot servo |
you. If you persist in not answering i
me, I shall take your silence as a con-
fession. Do you hear me?"
"I hear you."
"Clara Burnhajn! I am not to bo
trifled with. Clara Burnham! 1 Insist |
on the truth. Are you false to mo?"
Sho resented that searching piestion
with a woman's keen sense of the in- I
suit that is implied in doubting her to
her face.
"Mr. Wardour! you forget yourself j
when you call me to account in that
way. I never encouraged you. 1 never '
gave you promise or pledge "
He passionately interrupted her be-
fore she could say more: "You have en-
gaged yourself in my absence. Your
words own it: your looks own It! You
have engaged yourself to another
man!"
"If I have engaged myself, what j
right have you to complain of it?" she |
answered firmly. "What right have j
you to control my actions "
The next words died away on her
lips. He suddenly dropped her hand.
A marked change appeared In the ex-
pression of his eyes a change which
told her of the terrible passions that
she had let loose in him. She read,
dimly read, something in his face
which made her tremble—not for her-
self, but for Frank.
Little by little tho dark color faded
out of his face. His deep voice drop-
ped suddenly to a low and quiet tone as
he spoke the parting words: "Say no
more, Miss Burnham—you have said
enough. 1 am answered; I am dis-
missed." He paused, and stepping
close up to her, laid his hand on her
arm.
"The time may come," he raid,
"when 1 shall forgive you. But the man
who has robbed me of you shall rue
the day when you and he first met."
He turned and left her.
A few minutes later, Mrs. Crayford,
entering the conservatory, was met by
one of the attendants at the ball. The
man stopped as if he wished to speak
to her.
"What do yoa want?" she as'ied.
"I beg pardon, ma'am. Do you hap-
pen to have a smelling-bottle alJlut
you? There is a young lady iu the
conservatory who Is taken faint."
CHAPTER V.
HE morning of the
next day — the
morning on which
the ships were to
_ sail—camo bright
) <in(* breez>'. Mrs.
— . I Crayford having ar-
ranged to follow
her husband to tho
water-side, nnd see
the last of him be-
fore he embarked,
entered Clara's room ou her way out
of the house, anxious to hear how her
young friend had passed the night.
To her astonishment, she found Clara
had risen and was dressed, like her-
self, to go out.
"What does this mean, my dear?
After what you suffered last night—
after the shock of seeing that man—
why don't you take my advice and rest
in your bed?"
"I can't rest. I have not slept all
night. Have you been out yet?"
"No."
"Have you seen or heard anything
of Richard Wardour?"
"What an extraordinary question!
"Answer my question! Don't trifle
with me!"
"Compose yourself, Clara. I have
neither Been nor heard anything of
Richard Wardour. Take my word for
It, he is far enough away by this time."
i "No! Ho is here! He Is near us!
All night long the presentiment has
pursued mr Frank and Richard Ward-
our will meet."
"My dear child, what are you think-
ing of? They are total strangers to
each other."
"Something will happen to bring
them together. 1 feel it! I know it.
They will meet; there will be a mortal
quarrel between them, and I shall be to
blame. Oh, Lucy! why dldu't I take
your advice? Why was I mad enough
to let Frank know that I loved blm?
Are you going to the landing-stage?
I am all ready; I must go with you."
"You must not think of it, Clara.
There will be crowding and confusion
at the water-side. You are not strong
enough to bear it. Wait—1 won't be
long away—wait till I come back."
"I must, and will, go with you!
Crowd! He will be among the crowd!
Confusion! In that confusion he will
tind his way to Frank! Don't ask me
to wait. I shall go mad if I wait. I
shall not know a moment's ease till I
have seen Frank with my own eyes
safe In the boat which takes him to his
-hip. You have got your bonnet on;
what are we stopping here for? Come!
or I shall go without you. Look at the
' clock! We have not a moment to
lose!"
It was useless to contend with her.
Mrs. Crayford yielded. The two women
left the house together.
The landing-stage, as Mrs. Crayford
had predicted, was thronged with spec-
tators Not only the relatives and
j friends of the \t( th. voyagers, but
strangers as well, had assembled in
large numbers to see the ships sail,
(iai.t seyes wandered affrighted hither
t*.nd thither among the atiaug* facve
, in the crowd, searching for the on*
finding it So completely were her
nerves unstrung that she starf"d with
a cry of alarm on suddenly hearing
Frank's voice behind her.
"The Sea-Mew's boats are waiting,"
he said. "I must go, darling. How pale
you are looking, Clara! Are you ill9"
She never answered. She questioned
him with wild eves ami trembling lips.
"Has anything happened io you,
Frank? anything out of the com.uon?"
Frank laughed at the strange question.
"Anything out of the common?" he
repeated. "Nothing that I know of, ex- !
cept sailing for the Arctic Seas. That's
out of the common, I suppose; itn't i
It?"
"Has anybody spoken to you eince
last night? Has any stranger followed
you in the street?"
Frank turned in blank amazement tc
Mrs. Crayford. "What on earth docs
she mean?"
Mrs. Crayford's lively invention s.ip
plied her with an answer on the spur
of the moment.
"Do you believe in dreams, Frank'
Of course you don't! Clara has beer
dreaming about you, and Clara is fool-
ish enough to believe in dreams. That's
all; it's not worth talking about.
Hark! they are calling for you. Say
good-bye, or you'll be too late for the
boat."
Frank took Clara's hand. Long af-
terward—in the dark Arctic days, In the
dreary Arctic nights he remembered
how coldly and how passively that
hand lay in his.
"Courage, Clara!" he said gaily. "A
sailor's sweetheart must accustom her-
self to partings. The time will coon
pass. Good-bye, my darling. Good-
bye, my wife!"
He kissed the cold hand; lie looked
his last -for many a long year per-
haps!—at the pale and beautiful face.
How she loved me! ho thought. How
the parting distresses her! He still
held her hand; he would have lingered
longer, if Mrs. Crayford had not wisely
waived all ceremony and pushed Him
away.
The two ladies followed him at a safo
distance through the crowd, nnd saw
him safely step into the boat. The
oars struck the water; Frank waved his
cap to Clara. In a moment more a
vessel at anchor hid the boat from
view. They had seen the last of him
on his way to the Frozen Deep!
"No Richard Wardour in the boat,"
said Mrs. Crayford. . "No Richard
Wardour on the shore. Let this bo a
lesson to you, my dear. N<ver be ft ol-
Ish enough to believe in presentiments
again."

Scrofula Cured
"When three months old my boy wns
troubled with scrofula. There were eoro
places on his hands and body ns large bb a

he had taken three bottles he was cured."

Fine as arc tho salmon of Nen
Foundland, they arc without honor in
their own country, as the following in-
cident from Dr. S. T. Davis's "Cari-
bou-Shooting in Newfoundland" will
show: Our- way into the interior was
over a lovely pond. We had made an
early start, and left the foot of the
pond just as day was breaking. We
had not proceeded far when the writer
thought he could occasionally see the
watci break with a splash in close
proximity to tho canoe. Seated as ho
was ill tho bow, he turned to the native
who was handling the paddle in tho
stern, and inquired whether there were
any fish in the pond.
"Fish? No, sir, no fish, sir."
Presently, when about half-way up
the pond, and just as the sun was peep-
ing over the eastern horison, he saw,
not six feet from the bow of the canoe,
a magnificent salmon rise to the sur-
face, and with a swish of his fail, dis-
appear. Again the writer turned to his
friend with the remark. "Daddy, did
I understand you to say that there were
no fish in this pond'."'
- "No fish, sir; no fish."
"Yes, but—I beg your pardon—I a
moment ago saw what I took to be a
twelve or fifteen-pound .salmon break
the water not six feet from tho bow of
the canoe."
"Oh, that was a salmon. There aro
plenty of trout and salmon in all these
waters, but no fish, sir. Nothing counts
as fish in these parts but codfish, sir."

"Now. your Honor." argued the at-
torney in the court of Justice I'.rown
of Santa Rosa, I move dismissal of
this case on the ground that the cor-
pus delicti has not been established."
Judge Brown rubbed his chin a per-
plexed way, fixed his gaze on the ceil-
ing for a moment, and then, clearing
his throat, said:
"Of course, it is an old principle of
law that the orobator must correspond
with the alligator, and in this casn
I am of the belief lhat the corpus is
all right, but 1 don't know about tho
delicti."
"Your Honor, I want that fo-go into
the record." demanded opposing eoun-
I stl. I want the record to show that
' your Honor said the corpus is all right.
I but you do not know about the de-
! licti."
Judge Brown realized that he had
i blundered, and sat staring at the at-
| tcrney for a moment. Then pulling
j himself together he said:
j "All right, let that go into the rec-
ord. But you fellows knew danged
well I was only joking when I said it,
and that will go into the record, too."
