The story that Sir John Fisher of the Dritlsh admiralty tells with tho greatest enjoyment andhe tells many, and all with zest Is of an old boat swain on his flagship who fell Into a little money nnd retired. Ono day the admiral visited him at his coun try box, to find the old sailor pos sessed of an apparently useless man servant. "What do you want with him?" asked Fisher. "Il'evory morning," explained the old sailor, " 'o conies to mo 'ammock and tells mo to roll b'out. 'Tho h'ad inlrnl wants to sen you,' 'o says to me. mind I says to 'im.

Since bringing him Into the I house I had studied him carefully and. 1 must eoiitens. with Increasing mys tilientlon. He was splotnlldl put up. the bestinuseled man I had "vor soon wlio was not a professional athlete. His forearms and clean shaven fare wire hi own I mm prolonged tunning by the sun, but otherwise bis skin was tho pink and white of a healthy baby. Ills short light hair was combed smoothly away from a bioad l'oie head; his blue eyes were poifoctly steady they even Invited and held scrutiny; when be was not speaking he closed his lips tightly. I hair believed tho fellow to be amusing himself at my expense; but ho met my eyes calmly. If 1 hud not caught a lunatic I had certainly cap tured an odd specimen of humanity. Ho was the picture of wholesome liv ing and sound health; but he talked liken fool. The idea or a young woman like Helen Holbrook giving two thoughts to a silly youngster like this was preposterous, and my heart hard ened against him. "You are lllppant. Air. Gillespie, ami my errand witli you Is serious. There are places In this house where I could lock jou up and you would never see your button factory again. You seem to have had some education " "The word does me great honor, Donovan. They chucked me from Yale In my Junior yeai. Why, you may ask? Well, it happened tills way: You know Koonoy, the Ilellefontalne Cyclone? He struck New Haven with a vaudeville outfit, giving exhi bitions, poking the hag and that sort of fake. At every town they Invited the local sports to dig up their bright est amateur middle-weight and put him against tho Cyclone for live rounds. I brushed my hair the wrong way for a disguise and went against him." "And got smashed for your trouble, I hope," I Interrupted. "No. The boys In the gallery cheered m that they fussed hint, and bo thought I was fruit. We shook bands, and he turned his head to snarl at the applause, and, seeing an open ing, 1 smashed him a hot clip In the chin, and he tumbled backward and broke tho ring rope. I vaulted the orchestra and bolted, and when the boys finally found me I was over near Wntorbury under a barn. 1CI1 wouldn't stand for It, und back 1 went to the button factory; and hero I am, sir, by the grace of God, an Ignorant man." "How did you find your way here, Gillcspln?" I demanded. "I suppose I ought to' explain that," lie replied. I waited while he co llected for a moment. Ho seemed to lie cpilto sorioJis, nnd his brows wrin kled as ho pondered. "I guessed It about half and for tlm rest, I followed the heaven-kissing htack of trunks." Ho glanced at mo iitiekl, ;ii though anxious to see how 1 received his words. "Havo you seen anything of Henry Holbrook in your navels? Ho eaieful now; I want tho truth." "1 certainly have not. I hope you don't think " Gillespie hesitated. "It's not a matter for thinking or gueislng; I've got to know." "On my lienor I havo not seen him, and 1 hao no Idea whore ho Is." I had thrown myself into a chair beside the couch and lighted my pipe. My captlvo troubled me. It Boomed odd that ho had found tho ubldlug placo of tho two women; and If ho liad succeeded so quickly, why might not Henry Holbrook have equal luck? "You probably know this trouble some brother well," I ventured. "Yes; as well as a mnn of my ago can know an older man. My father's place at Stamford adjoined tho Hol brook estate. Henry nnd Arthur Hol brook married sisters; both women died long ago, I hollo ve; but tho brothors had a business row and went to smush. Arthur embezzled, forged, and tin on, and took to the nltltudluous tlmbor, and Ilonry has boon busy ovor slnco trying to pluck his sister. He's wiltl on tho subject of his wrongs ruined by his own brother, deprived of his Inheritance by his sister and abandoned, by his only child. There wnBn't much to Arthur Holbrook; Henry was the genius, but after tho bank went to tho bad ho sought tho consolntlons of rum. Ho nnd Henry married tho Hartrldge twins who were tho reigning lialtlmnro belles In tho early '80's so runneth tho chronicle. Hut I gossip, my denr, sir; I gosBlp, which Is against my principles.

When Ijima brought In a plate of sandwiches Jie took one gingerly In his swnthed hand, regarded It with cool Inquiry, and as ho munched it, re marked upon sandwiches in general as I hough they wore botanical spool men.H that were usually discussed and analyzed in a scientific spirit. "Tlio sandwich," ho began, "not un happily expresses one of the saddest traits of our American lite. 1 need baldly refer to our deplorable nation al habit of hiding our shame under a blithe and misleading exterior. Chick en sandwiches in some pnrts of tlio wot Id aie rather coarsely marked, for purposes of lndotitlficatlou, with pin feathers. You may covet no nobler fame than that or eieator or the Fly ing Sandwich of Annandale. Yet the feathered sandwich, though nioro pic turesque, points rather too directly to the strutting lords of the barnyard. A sandwich that is decorated like a fall bonnet, Hint suggests, we will say, the milliner's window or the plumed knights of mounding war" With a little sigh, a slow relaxation of muscles, Mr. Gillespie blept. I locked tho doors, put out the lights, and tumbled into my own bed as the chapel clock chimed two. In the distill bed affairs of the night tlio blinds bad not been drawn, and I woko to find the room Hooded with light and my prisoner gone. The doois wore locked as I had loft them. Mr. Gillespie had departed by tho win dow, diopplng from a little balcony to the teiraoe beneath. I rang for IJIma and sent him to tho pier; and before 1 bad finished shaving tlio buy was back, and repotted Gillespie's boat still at the pier, hut one of tho canoes missing. It was clear that In the sorry plight or his arms Glllospio had preferred paddling to lowing. He neath my watch on the writing table I found n sheet of note-pupor on which was scrawled: lli'ur oIl .Man I inn IiiiaIiik oik- of those utRlitiiKiri'M I luuntloneil In inn ilo- iiKliuui oiivi'i;atlou.

When I bad tliessed and had my coffee I locked my old portfolio and tossed It into tho bottom of my trunk.

My Unit caio was to find the Rat don er or St. Agatha's and renow his pledge of silence of tho night before; and then I sought tho ladles, to make sure that they had not been dis turbed by my collision with Gillespie. Miss lat and Helen wore In Sister Theresa's protty Blttlug mom, through whoso windows tho morning wind blow fresh nnd cool. "This Is a day for tho open! You must certainly venture forth!" I ho gnn, cheerily. "You see, Father Stoddard chosjo well; this Is tho most peaceful place on tho map. Let us begin with a drive at six, when tho sun Is low; or, may bo, you would pro for a llttlo run In tho launch." They exchanged glances. "I think it would ho all light, Aunt I'at," said Helen. "1'orhnps wo should wait nnothnr day. Wo must take no chnnQOSj Urn relief of being fioe is too blessed to throw away. 1 really slept through the night I can't toll ou what a boon that Is'" "Why. Sister Margaret had to call us both at light!" exclaimed Helen. "That Is almost too wonderful fur be lief!" "Oh, Hie nights here aro tranquillity itself! Now, as to the drive" "Let us wait another day, Mr. Dono van. I reel that we must make assur ance doubly sure," said .Ml.ss I'at; and this, of course, was final. It was clear that, the capture of Gil lespie had not disturbed the slumber of St. Agatha's. .My conscience piickofl iin a trille at leaving I hem so Ignorautly contented: but Gillespie's appeal auco was hardly a menace, and though I had pledged myseir to warn Helen Holbrook at the first sign of trouble, I determined to deal with blin tut my own account. He was only an infatuated fool, and I was capable, I hoped, of disposing ttf his case with out taking any one into my confi dence. Hut first It was my urgent business to find him. I got out. the launch and crossed tho lake to the summer colony and began my search by asking for Gillespie at tlio casino, but found that his iiamo was unknown. I lounged about until lunch time, visited the golf course that lay on a bit of upland beyond the collages and watched the plaers un til sat lulled that Gillespie was not anionic them, then I wont homo for luncheon. A man with bandaged arms, and clad in a dressing gown, cannot go far without attracting attention; and I was not in the least discouraged by my fruitless search. I have spent considerable part of mv IITo in tho engaging occupation ol looking lor men who weto haul to find, and as I smoked my cigar on the shady ter race ami waited for Ijlmn to loplonlsh tho launch's tank, I roll confident that heroic night. 1 should have an under sitandlng with Glllohplo ir be were still In the neighborhood or Annandale. The midday was warm, hut I cooled my eyes on the deep shadows or tho wood, through which at Intervals I saw wblto sails flash on the lake. All bird-song was bushed, but a wood pecker on a dead sycamore hammered away for dear lire. Tho bobbing of his red head must have exercised sorno hypnotic spell, for I slent a few minutes, nnd dreamed tlmt the wood pecker had bored a hole In my tore bead. When 1 roused it was with a start that sent my pipe clattering to tho stone terrace door. A man who has over camped or hunted or been hunted and I have known nil three experiences always scrutinizes the horizons when ho wukes, and I round myself staring Into tho wood. As my eyes sought remembered buidmarks hero and there, I saw a man dressed as a common snllor skulking toward tho boathottso several bundled yards nwny. Ho was evidently following tho school wall to osoapo observation, and I rose and stopped closer to the bal ustrade to watch his movements. In a moment he came out Into a llttlo open spnee wherein stood n stone tower whom water was stored for tho house, and ho pnusoi! hero and gazed about him curiously. 1 picked up a fiold-glass from a llttlo tablu near by and caught sight of a swarthy foreign fnco under a soft rolt hut. Ho passed the tower and walked on townrd tho Iako, and I dropped over the balus trade and followed him. Tlio JupancHo boy was still at work launch, and. homing a atop on the pier plunking, ho glanced up, then rose and iisketl the btrnngor his lumi nous. The mail shook his head. ' H joii have business It must bo nt the house; the road Is In tlio other di rection, ' nnd IJIma pointed to the wood, but the stranger remained stubbornly on the edge of tho plor. 1 now stepped out of tho wood and wail.ed down to the plor. 'What do you want hero?" I de manded, sharply. Tin- man touched his bat, mulled, and shook Ids bead. Tho broad baud lie iiried In salute was that or a la bore i. and Its blown back was tat tooed, lie belonged, I Judged, to one or the dark Moilltortnnr.in races, and I tried 111 in In Italian. "These aro private grounds; you will do well to eae hero very quick- I,' I said. I saw his o.es light as I spoke tho words slowly and distinctly, but ho waited until I had finished, then shook his head. I was sine he had understood, hulas I atldicssod him again, ordering him riom tlio promises, he continued to shake his bead and grin foolishly. Then l pointed toward the road. "Go; and It will bo best lor you not to come bote ngaln!" I said, and, alter saluting, he walked slowly away Into the wood, with a sort or dogged Inso lence in Ids slightly swaying gait. At a nod fiom me IJIma stole after him while 1 waited, nnd In a Tew minutes the bo eaino back and reported that tho man hud passed the house and left the grounds by the carriage oil' trance, turning toward Annandale. Willi my mind on Gillespie 1 put off in Hie launch, determined to study the lake geography I have, 1 hope, a soul lor landscape, and the sort bubble or water, the lush leeds in the shallows, the lapldly moving panorama or field and forest, the glimpses or wild How era, and the inched blue above, wore rostlul to inliid and heart. It seemed shamerul iluil tho whc.'o world was not afloat, then, as I rvtlocted that an other boat In these tranquil waters would be an impertinence that I should lebent, I was aware that I had boon thinking or Helen Holbrook all the while; and tho thought or this Ir i hated me so that I criticised IJIma most unjustly Tor running the launch tlose to a bowlder that rose like a miniature Gibraltar near the shadowy shore we wero skirting. We gained the ultimate lino or tho lower lake, and followed tho Bhore In search or Its outlet, pleasingly set down on the map an Tippecanoe crook, which ran otr and Joined somewhero a river or like naiiie. ' Tho lako's wa tois ran away, like a truant child, through a woody cleft, and in a mo ment we woio as clean quit of tho lake as though 11 did not exist. After a tew rods the creek began to twist and turn as though with tlio Intention or mailing the voyager earn his way. In the narrow channel tho beat or our engine rang Horn tho shores rebuking ly, and soon, as a punishment tor dis turbing the peace ol the llttlo stream, wo gi oiinded on n sand-bar. "Thl.i seems to bo the head or navi gation. Ijima. 1 believe this creek was made for canoes, not battle ships." v liolwoin u.4 we got tho launch off, and ' lauded on a convenient log and crawled up the bank to observe thu countiy. I followed a stakc-and-rlder fence, half hidden In vines of various soils, andtrampedalong tho bank, with the ciock still singing Its toituousway below at my right bund. Soon tho rail fence gave way to barbed win ; tho path broadened and the under brush was neatly cut away. Within lay a small vegetable garden, caio ruily tilled; and farther on I saw a dark gre u tottage almost shut In by beeches. Tiio path dipped sharply down ami away liom tho cottage, and a moment inter I bad lost sight of It; but below, at the edge of the Creole, stood a long houseboat with an ex tended plat form or deck on the water side. I can still reel, a-i I recall tho day and hour, the utter peace or tho scene when first 1 came upon that secluded spot: The melodious flow of the crook beneath; the flutter or homing wings; oven the hum or Insects In tho sweet, thyniy air. Then a step farther and I came to a gato which opened on n lllght of steps that led to tho house beneath; and through thu intervening taugle I saw a man sprawled nt ease In a steamer chair on tho deck, bis arms under his bond. An I watched him ho sighed and turned restlessly, and 1 caught a glimpse,, of close trlmmed beard ami short, thlu, slight' ly gray hair. (TO UK CO.NTINUni).) Supposed Relic of St. Peter.
