W HENRY HbWBQLT'
ICK» SET HIS
teeth and turned
without a word to
the colonel for the
explanation.
The colonel wg.s
not for a moment at
a lose; he had long
been preparing for
the present difficult
situation, and now
that he had the op
portunity of dealing
with Dick and Camilla separately, he
was no longer doubtful of the result.
His last anxiety vanished with the
haughty figure now disappearing be
neath the companion-hatch.
He linked his arm In Dick’s with a
friendly smile, and began to walk him
slowly up and down the deck In silence.
“My friend,” he said presently, "my
sister-in-law and you misunderstand
each other; you are both young, and
youth Is so Intolerant of difference! I
am older, and I understand you both. I
am less prejudiced, and can sympathise
with each In turn. I am happy to be
here, for I have no doubt,” he con
tinued, “that I shall be able to effect
a speedy reconciliation.” ;
“But what is the matter?” cried Dick.
"I don’t understand!”
“Precisely,” replied the colonel; "nor
does Madame de Montaut. Tou do not
see why your very natural refusal to
join our little plot should cause any one
surprise or pain. She, on the other
hand, has never thought of the diffi
culty of It from your point of view.
She supposed you to have accepted, and
was therefore sharply disappointed at.
finding that we must do without you,
after all.”
"Yes, yes!” cried Dick; “I know all
about the mistake. Of course you all
thought I had accepted when I came
to Russell street that unlucky'morning;
but hew could you, how could she,
think me for a 'moment capable of do
ing such a thtag? That’s what hurts
“My dear EStewart,” answered the col
onel, with a ^deprecatory smile, "you
musn’t be toe hard on us. I confess I
ought to have known better; but I was
hard put to it. As for Madame de
Montaut,' she never understood the
question. I fear the line I took may
have been the cause, for she trusts me
perhaps more Implicitly than she ought
to do,” and the colonel shook his gray
head with a very becoming modesty.
“And then you must remember,” he
continued, “that she knew you were
friendly with T>ord Glamorgan and .oth
er members of the opposition who pro
fess to desire nothing so much as the
Emperor’s liberation. I suppose their
speeches are but counsels of perfection,
and not intended to be‘taken literally,
but that Is one of .the things we in
France can never understand about you
English. We are the slaves of logic,
and cannot comprehend how a man can
preach gravely what he would think it
wrong for himself or any one else to
put into practice.”
Dick was vanquished; and Indeed he
wished no better fate. He was lost in
a foretaste •Of the delightful days to
come, and was only brought to himself
by the sudden -recollection that they
would be fewer than he would be al
lowing himself to reckon. He turned
round upon the colonel.
“Why must you leave us so soon?”
he asked abruptly.
The colonel was staggered for a mo
ment.
"So soon?” ;he said; "so soon as
what?”
“The captain said you were only go
ing as far as Ascension.”
"Ah, yes!” -said the colonel, recover
ing himself; “Ascension. Tea, that's
all.”
"You can't be meaning to stay on
such a desert Island,” said Dick, a-trem
ble with hope. “I suppose we can wait
while you do your business there, and
take you on to the Cape afterward?”
“Thank you,” replied the colonel, giv
ing him a meaning look; "but we can
not afford to go quite so far as the
Cape, though I confess to you in con
fidence that we do riot' intend to stay
longer than we can help at Ascension.”
Dick reflected, and in a moment or
two he had comprehended the meaning
of this remark. About half-way in a
direct line between i';censlon and the
Cape lies the Island of St. Helena; that
of course wasthe De Montauts’ real
destination. He understood now why
they had sailed in the Hamilton under
false names. He saw, too, that he must
abandon all hope of prolonging jthe time
of their companionship with him, for
the Speedwell could not land the con
spirators at St. Helena without ‘becom
ing in some degree their accomplice.
M. de Montaut was watching him all
this time, and read his face Oke an
ooen book.
“Now then,” he said, at last, "I am
going down to speak to my sister-in
law. I think you had better wait tor
me up here, If you don’t mind.”
Dick jvilllngly assented, and the col
onel left him to pace the deck alone
while he went off to attempt the second
and more difficult part of his medita
tion.
“Ah!" he murmured to himself, as he
made his way below, “It Is easy enough
to pursuade a man of anything, more
especially if It’s not the truth; but
Camilla is unfortunately not a man.
Never mind.” he added, as he knocked
at her door, "she must' pursuade her
self, that’s alL” And he entered the
cabin with as meek and helpless an
expression as he could manage to put
PB. '
Camilla was In a state of feverish agi
tation. She attacked him at once.
"Well,” she cried, “and what does this
mean, sir?”
The colonel hung his head.
tt “Did I not tell you,” she continued,
"that If Captain Estcourt Went with
you I should stay behind?”
“I thought perhaps you might think
better of it."
“Do I generally threaten what I do
not mean to carry out?” she retorted.
To this he made no answer, and his
silence suggested, as It was Intended
to do, that It was now rather late In
the day for the fulfillment of this par
ticular threat.
"Do you not see,” she went on, "Into
what a position your foolish obstinacy
has entrapped me?”
"I am very sorry,” murmured the
colonel.
< “It Is Infamous of you,” she cried.
"Here we are, with our enterprise al
ready launched; for me to turn back
now would be to forfeit my share In
the glory of success; to send him away
would be to ruin It all.”
"I’m afraid It would,” said the colonel,
In a tone of discouragement; and he
looked about him frowning, as if per
plexed at the difficulty of the dilemma.
> Camilla’s Indignation was by this
time beginning to exhaust Itself. To
hammer so abject an opponent was
merely beating the air, and of that the
strongest fighter soon wearies.
“What am I to do?” she cried In de
spair.
“Couldn’t you go on as you are do
ing?” he suggested.
“What! live for a fortnight cooped
up here with a man whom I’ve Insulted
to his face?”
“It’s not your fault,” he replied; "he
brought It on himself.”
"No, no! he did not!” she answered,
hotly. "It was your doing from the
beginning."
* acucu mm 10 come, 1 admit, said
th* colouel; "but he shouldn’t have ac
cepted.”
“How can you,” she exclaimed, "how
dare you, compare his share in it with
your own? You were the tempter, you
'were the suggester of evil. His con
duot in yielding may seem strange to
us, but we can not teH what good rea
sons he may have had for taking a less
severe view of his duty in this instance.
He belongs to a party which has long
favored the Emperor's release; he was
no longer actually employed in the Eng
lish government, which has treated him
with ingratitude; he was chivalrously
devoted to us, his friends, and there
may have been 'Other reasons. I could
wish that he had acted differently, but
I will not heat you blame him ”
The colonel hugged himself in secret.
It was an exquisite pleasure to hear his
own sophistries arrayed against him
and to see them working out his own
purpose after all. Some gleam of satis
faction must have twinkled from a
crevice in his assumed stolidity, for
Camilla stopped, as if partly conscious
of something Inconsistent in her argu
ment.
"Don’t mdsunderstans me,” she cried;
“I do not take back anything of what
I said.” He'interrupted her.
“Of course not,” he said; “I was
waiting to remind you that as we are
to touch at Ascension, you have still
a free choice; we could easily land you
there for a fortnight, and take you off
again on our return from St. Helena.
You would lose none of the credit of the
undertaking, and you would share the
Emperor’s triumphal return to Europe.”
"I will consider that," she replied,
"before we reach Ascension; but It was
not what I was thinking of. What I
meant to tell you was that in any case
I refuse to have Captain Estcourt
forced upon me as a colleague. I de
cline to recognize him in that position,
and you may tell him that If he and
I are to meet, it must be on other
ground, and expressly on condition
that the object of this voyage is never
mentioned.”
The colonel sighed; not, as she sup
posed, with resignation, but with relief
and perfect satisfaction.
“I will go to him at once,” he said,
and left the cabin, still dejected and
submissive in appearance,
As he climbed the companion-ladder,
however, Biis demeanor underwent a
complete ehange, and it was with a
beaming face that he emerged up the
deck, where Estcourt was anxiously
awaiting his return.
"It is all right,’ ’he said, cordially;
'"I knew it would be. She has quite
got the better of her disappointment,
and is sorry for having hurt your feel
ings just now. Her indignation, it ap
pears, was not directed at you but me,
whom she blames severely for having
been the original cause for all this trou
ble. I confess it, but I assure you I
was far from lintending to estrange you
from us.”
“Don’t say another word!” cried Dick,
seizing his hand and shaking it in a
fervor of gratitude. “I’m your debtor
for the rest of my life. Gut now let me
go to her at omoe."
“Stay a moment.” said thfe colonel,
holding him by the sleeve; “let me give
you one last hint before you go. No
wise man expects an apology from a
woman under any circumstances.”
"Apology!” Dick broke in impatiently.
"Of course not!”
"Very well, then," continued his com
panion, "that being so. it will prevent
any possible awkwardness if you ignore
the late regrettable Incident altogether.
And I may add that I know you would
be consulting her own wishes if you
refrained from mentioning the object
of our voyage at all. The subject is
not one with pleasant associations as
between herself and you.”
Dick thought the colonel a model of
judgment and kindness. He thanked
him again hastily, and went below with
a beating heart. Camilla was in the
saloon by himself; she flushed when he
entered, but greeted him naturally, and
without any reference to what had
passed. While her hand lay In his she
looked at him a little sadly, he fancied,
as though a tinge of her first dlsap
point men t still remained; but that sure
ly was natural enough, and needed only
time to effaee It from her memory.
Meanwhile he had a fortnight, a yrhole
age—of happiness before him. The col
onel, who had calculated with nicety
the time he ought to allow them, now
came discreetly In and suggested break
fast.
"Certainly,” said Dick; "It • Is long
past the time; but where’s Captain
Worsely?”
"Oh,” replied the colonel; "haven’t
they told you! "He's got a fever, and
can’t leave his berth today.”
“That’s rather sharp work,” said
Dick; "he seemed all right when I left
the ship yesterday.”
"Yes,” said the colonel, "there Is a
sudden kind of feverish attack which
la not uncommon, I am told. In these
latitudes. It took him quite suddenly.
Just as we came on board; he was very
queer, and kept me up late Into tho
night talking in the most random man
ner. I thought you must have heard
us,” he added, with a quick, searching
glance at Dick.
“I did hear you!” replied the latter.
"And that reminds me that I also heard,
or fancied I heard, a boat put off ,n
the middle of the night, and come
aboard some time later.”
"Just so,” said the colonel; “that was
what he and I were arguing about. I
wanted some things I, had forgotten
fetched from the Hamilton, and Cap
tain Worsley refused me a boat, but I
got my own way at last with some dll
flculty.” And having fired off this ex
planation which he had ready loaded
and primed for some time past, he
turned the conversation adroitly back
to the Hamilton, and the Incidents of
their voyage from England. When tho
meal was over, Dick remembered the
captain again. *
•l can t say I regret old Worsley's
temporary absence," he remarked, “for
I prefer very much our present party
of three; but I think I must go and
see him, for the sake of civility.”
“I don't think I would. If I were you,"
said the colonel lightly; “he’s still rath*
er over-excitable this morning, and he
has apparently, for some absurd rea
son, taken a dislike to you.”
Dick laughed. "I’m not afraid of. his
tongue,” he said; "I’m shot-proof
against marine gunnery.” And he went
toward the door. The colonel turned
away and bit his mustache. He dared
not Insist further, for fear, of arousing
suspicion; for, upon the face of it,
what could It matter to him whether
Dick went or not? But In reality a good
deal waB at stake, and Dick's sudden
resolve had taken him for once unpre
pared. So he sat still, and listened with
desperate anxiety to hear what would
follow. The Speedwell's construction
between decks was not quite that of an
ordinary brig. She was large, but, as
was only reasonable In a ship carrying
government stores, she had no provision
for a number of passengers, but was
instead fitted with unusually ample
quarters for the captain and three or
four others. Thus, while the saloon
was small, there were on each side of
Mt three good cabins, or rather state
rooms, Instead of the ordinary berths.
On the starboard side Madame de Mon
taut, the colonel, and Dick were quar
tered; on the opposite Bide were the
captain’s two rooms and the mate's
cabin. A narrow passage was left on
each side between these state-rooms
and the saloon. Tire colonel, ‘with his
head against the wooden wall of the
latter, could hear perfectly all that
passed on the ether side; and, in fact,
when Dick stood at the captain’s door
he was within a yard of him. First
he heard him knock once, and again
louder. There was no answer. The col
onel was rigid, but his eyes betrayed
Intense anxiety. Camilla had fortu
nately gone to her own cabin, and
there was no one to observe his un
concealable agitation. Dick knocked a
third time. The colonel ground his
teeth and drew In his breath. A rat
tling noise followed. Instantly the ten-,
slon of his limbs relaxed, and a look’
of relief spread over his face. Dick had
tried the door and found It locked. The
colonel got tip and wiped his brow. His
secret was safe now, and he must get
ready for another little scene in the
comedy, which could not he long de
layed.
Dick meanwhile was knocking again,
and calling 'Captain Worsley by name.
Still there was no reply, and he began
to Tear that the unfortunate man had
fainted, with no one at hand to look
after him. He turned to the mate’s
room. It was empty. He knocked more
loudly yet on the captain's door. Final
ly he was about to rush away to find
the mate on deck, when he caught the
sound of some one moving about inside
the room.
“Open, open!” ‘he cried. "Why don't
yon opeuT”
The door swung Inward as he spoke.
A strange man stepped quickly out.
Then, as Dick drew back, he stooped
and coolly locked the door behind him.
As he raised his 'head again, Dick
stared at him ’in amazement. It was
not Captain Worsley, but Hernan John
stone, the pilot of the Edgar at Copen
hagen.

A manifest absurdity is the practice,
still apparently uuhnersa], of figuring
and stating the gearing of the bicycle.
It is a survival of the wnfitteet. When
the safety bicycle first came in com
petition with the ordinary or high
wheel, it was quite natural that they
should be compared, and it was proper
that the crank revolutions of the one
should be stated in terms of the other,
but now that the ordinary is absolutely
dead*, why should the a&d and always
inconvenient practice be retained'? It
would evidently be better all around to
give the crank effect of the safety either
in the feet of road traversed pejf^rank
revolution or In the number of revolu
tions to the mile. Thus, a 54-ineh ma
chine might be called a 14%-foot wheel
for the number of feet to the revolution,
or it might be called a 373 wheel for tne
number of treads to the mile. Almost
any method would be better than the
present historical relic.—American

How to get Op ■ Christmas Tree.
As generally set up the Christmas
tree is a rather shaky affair, top-heavy,
and in constant danger of being tipped
over when it is touched. If you want
a substantial base for it, but one that
will allow of its being moved easily
without any danger of its being upset,
go to some hardware store and borrow
a set of stove trucks. Cover them with
hoards fastened securely to their
frames. In the center make a hole
large enoug to admit the base of your
tree. Fasten strips of wood from each
■corner of the trucks to the tree, in such
a manner as to brace it firmly iu place.
The casters under the frame will allow
you to move the tree easily and safely.

When Selecting Your Reading Matter
HE COMING YEAR, yo* will, no donbt, decide on securing the best, especially If the best costs less than
somethin? interior, both in quality and quantity. The Omaha Bee, always to the front of the
. newspapers in the west, has Ion? been recognized as one of the leadin? publications in the country,
has done more, and is now doing more, toward upbuilding the great west, than any other paper. ■
It
About two years a?o its publishers, determined to bring The Weekly Uee into every farmhouse in the
west, especially in its own state and the states immediately adjoinin? Nebraska, put the price down to
65 Cents peryear, an unheard of figure ior a 12-page weekly publication. This price still prevails. Not
content with this, the publishers of The Bee cast about for some additional first class publication of national
reputation, to offer with The Bee at a price that would not exceed the figure usually charged for a single
weekly paper. Last year the New York Tribune, (IJoraee Greeley's paper) was secured, and this paper was
offered with the Weekly Uee for 90 Cents per year. A similar arrangement bus been made this ve«r. , In
addition, a similar contract has been made with the Cincinnati Enquirer, a paper that ranks as high among the
Democratic publications of this country as the New York Tribune does among the Republican newspapers.
To sum up—we make the following fonr offers for tills season, confident that they are equalled nowhere
either in the quality of matter published, nor in the quantity of good, up-to-date, reliable news *
