Why, I went to see when I was It." (( "But that's a romance In Itself, she said. Dick f lushed, perhaps from embar rassment, perhaps also from pleasure, for he wav anxious to be less of a stranger to her, and was flattered at her appearance of Interest. Ho, of course, he became foolish and procras tins ted. "I in sure there's nothing you'll care to hear.' he said, hoping for the en couragement of a contradiction "Why, that's how 1 began," she re plied. "If you steal my forms of speech I shall take yours and answer, as you did Just now, that It Is not a matter of personal Interest at all, hut a mere story of adventure, that's In question," "I’m certain I did not say that.” he answered. "I mean, I beg your pardon, but I couldn’t have said unythlng so rude." "Bo rude as what I have Just said to you?” she asked, with a mlschevlous pretense of Innocence. "OhI" he groaned. "I'm no gol d with words. I can't handle them'" And he made a sudden gesture as If to grasp a more downright kind of weapon, The action and the flush which ac companied It became him quite well, and she glanced up ut him with secret approval He had, In fact, gained, not lost, ground; but In his confusion h* did not suspect the fact, und was more troubled than ever when the door opened at this moment and the colonel came In ”1 hope," he said, bowing, "that I did not Interrupt?' Camilla was grave again In an In stant; and Dick saw, with quick gratl tude, that however much ahe might have h*-«-n playing with him before, she had no Intention of putting him to shame before a third person "Capt.

The dark man went to the wheel, the master himself took the lead and went forward; we w> Ighed, and stood right out for the entrance of the King1* channel. "The two lieutenant* who had to stand In the chains and see *o the hear Ing of the lead began to dispute for places; they were each claiming ihe larboard side which was the one ex I posed to the enemy's fire. The captain i gave It in favor of Itradnock, and he ; went forward, laughing. "We soon came within shot of the I first Danish ship, and she began tiring | single guns at us. 1 wa* not tall enough | to see over the hammock netting.', so I field on to them and pulled myself up i on my toes. The enemy were nearly all hulks and batteries, and looked very ugly. "Every time a gun went 'boom!' I felt a kind of warm shock, as If I Imd been struck amidships, but my hands were still cold and numhid. I Imgeil desperately to hear the sound of our own guns, and felt quite angry that we went on without firing a shot. "Then 1 was going toward the fore castle when I heard n sudden roar and a '-rushing sound. It was the first broadside from the Provesteln, and a good many shot struck the ship nil at once. "Bradnock spun over and fell dead In a heap across the chains: the splinters Hew all round him, and several men came running up. I heard Wilson, the starboard lieutenant, cry out, 'My turn!' In a sharp voice, and scramble on to the deck and across Into the oth er's place. "I felt horribly sick and dazed, and hurried away blindly, without any Idea where I was going. 1 had got nearly to the quarter deck when a man ran Into me, and 1 reeled violently off Into the captain himself, who had Just come down the ladder. I hadn't time to get my breath to apologize: he picked me up und clapped my cap down on my head. " 'Well, young gentleman,' he said. I thought you were a round shut at the least? "I was warmer for the tumble, and Ids kind, Jolly voice did me no end of good. He sent me with a message to the lower gun-deck, and I run off fettl ing quite a man again.

"Not In the leant," replied the col onel, recovering hlmaeif; "on the con trary, I have listened to you with the liveliest pleasure; hut now, aa you are taking no wltte, we will, If you please, all go Into the drawing-room together." CHAPTER V. H THEY WENT upstair# Dick no ticed with dismay that both lit# coni fUAnllftlH WIT** Mllcnt | and that an awk ward feeling of constraint seemed to have fallen upon the party. He feared that he him self must he the cause of this, and could not help thinking It connected. In spite of the colonel'* assurance to the contrary, with the latter part of the conversation Just ended, He resolved, accordingly, If he hud ihe chance, to say something polite, und soothe, If pos sible, the patriotic feelings of his friends. ,t* « matter of fact he was both right and wrong In his suppositions; he wu* the cause hut not the offending cause, of this embarrassing silence. The cob oriel was (Hindering deeply upon the line he must Immediately adopt In order to utilise the advantages which chance had so unexpectedly offered him; Csiallla had divined the thoughts that were passing through her hrothiqpln-lsw's mind, und Instinctively resetiM them. It was no doubt unreasonable of her, but she was keenly troubled at the Idea of Hick being tempted to take any purl or Interest In the enterprise to which she had devoted herself. Of course he would refuse and treat sm-h overtures as an Insult; or If whl'c could after all he black If he could he h-d by blind devotion Into the slightest acquies cence, shi would halo Uvravdi and tie splsc him; itrul foi some unexplained reason he was the on# man of nil others whom she least wished to despise Just now. .She resolved to show the colonel the futility of Ills design at once, and stop him at the outset. So she waited until they were all three face to face again In the drawing-room, and then began her maneuvers with cool directness. "(’apt.
