ICK HF.T ItlS teeth and turned without a word to the colonel for the explanation The colonel wan not for a moment at a lo»a; he had long been preparing for the preacnt difficult alt nation, and now that he bad the op portunity of dealing with Dick and Camilla aeparately, he we« ne longer doubtful of the reault. Ilia hot anxiety vanl«hed with the haughty figure now dDap|>*»rlng be neath the companion-hatch. lit linked hi* arm in Dick a with a friendly amlle. and began to walk him alowly up and down the deck in allen'-e. ■ My friend," he aald pre*ently, "my aiater-ln-law and you mlaunderatand each other; you ara both young, and youth i* an Intolerant of difference! I am older, and I undergtand you both, I »rn |e*« prejudiced, and can aympathlxe with each in turn. I am happy to be here, for 1 have no doubt," he con tinued, "that I ahall be able to effect a apeedy reconciliation." "But what ia the matter?" cried Dick. "I don't underxtand!" "Preclaely," replied the colonel; "nor doe* Madame de Montaut.

Mhe supposed you to have accepted, and was therefore sharply disappointed at finding that we must do without you, after all." "Yes, yes!" cried Dick: "1 know all about the mistake. Of courae you all thought I had accepted when 1 came to Russell street that unlucky morning: hut hew could you, how could she, think me for a moment capable of do ing su> h a thing? That’* what hurta me." "My dear Eatcourt," answered the col onel, with a deprecatory smile, "you musn't he too hard on us. I confess I ought to have known better; hut I was hard put to It. As for Madame de Montaut, she never understood (he question 1 fear the line I took may fiave 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 trierully with Lord Olamorgan 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 colons! was staggered for a mo ment. "Ho soon?’’ hs aald; "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. Yes, that's all,” "You can't he meaning to slay on such a desert Island," said Dick, a-trem ble with hope. "I suppose we can wait while you do yoyr business there, and take you on to the Caps afterward?" "Thank you," replied the colonel, giv ing him n meaning look; "hut we can not afford to go uultc so far as Un Capo, though I confers tv you In con fidence that we do not Intend to stay longer than we can help at Aacenalon." Dick redacted, and In a moment or two he had comprehended the meaning of this remark. About half-way In a direct line between Aacenalon and the Cape Ilea the Island of HI. Helena; that of ruursi wasthe De Montauts' real destination. He understood now why they had aatlrd In the Hamilton undei false names. He saw, loo, that he must abandon all hope of prolonging the tlm« of their companionship with him, foi the Mpeedwrll could not land the con apirators at Hi Helena without liecone tug In some degree their accomplice, , M <li Montaut was watching him si this time, ami read hts face like at *t|ien hook "Now then," he said, at last, "| an g ong i|< g( tii apiak to my slslet -iu Isa I think you had better wall Iw no* up here.

"I thought perhufpe you might think better of It," "Do I generally threaten what I do not mean to carry out?" ahe retorted. To thla he made no anawer, and hla alienee euggeated, ae It waa Intended to do, that It waa now rather late In the day for the fulfillment of thla par ticular threat. "Do you not aee," ahe went on, "Into what a poaltlon your foollah obatlnacy haa entrapped me?" "I am very aorry," murmured the colonel. | "It la Infamoua of you." ahe cried.

"I'm afraid It would," raid Ihe colonel. In a tone of dfaoouragement; and he looked about him frowning, aa If pe pleged at the difficulty of the dilemma. Camllla'a Indignation waa by thla I time beginning to eghauat Itaelf. To hammer ao abject an opponent waa I merely beating the air, and of that the t atrongeat fighter aoon wearier, "What arn I to do?" aha cried In de apalr, "Couldn't you go on aa you are do ing?" he auggeated "What! live for a fortnight cooped up here with a man whom I’ve Inaulted to hla face?" "Jt'a not your fault," he replied; "ha brought It on hlmaelf." "No, no! ha did not!" ahe anawered, hotly. "H waa your doing from the beginning."

I could wish that he had acted differently, hut ; I will not hear you blame him The colonel hugged himself In secret. It wa* an exquisite pleasure to hear Ms own sophistries arrayed against him and to see them working out hi* own purpose after all. Home gleam of satis* faction must have twinkled from a crevice In hi* assumed stolidity, for Camilla stopped, a* If partly conscious of something Inconsistent In her argu ment. "Don't misunderstand mo,” she erled; "1 do not take back anything of what I said," He interrupted her. "Of course not," he said; "I was waiting to remind you that a* we are to touch at Ascension, you have still a free choice; we could easily land you there for a fortnight, and take you oil again on our return from HI. Helena, You would I Ac*- none of the credit of the undertaking, and you would Share the Kmperor'* triumphal return to Kurope," "I will consider that,” she replied, “before we reach Ascension; hut It was not what I was thinking of.

The colonel alghed; not, aa ahe aup poaed, with resignation, hut with relief and perfect aatlafactton. "I will go to him at once," he aald. and left the cabin, atlll dejected and aubmlaalve In appearance. Aa he climbed the companion-ladder, however, hla demeanor underwent a complete change, and It waa with a beaming face that he emerged up the deck, where Belcourt waa anxloualy awaiting hla return. "It Is all right,' 'lie aald, cordially: "I knew It would be Hhe hie i|Ult* got the better of her disappointment, and la aorry for having hurt your feel ings juat now Her Indignation, It ap pear*. was not directed at you hut me, whom she blame* arverely for having been the original cauae for ull Ibis trou ble.

"Ilon't ssy another wordl ' cried Kick, seising his hand snd shaking It In a fervor of gratitude "I'm your debtor for the rest of my life, tlui now let rue go to her at ones." "Miay s moment," said the colonel, holding him by the sleeve; "let me give you one lest hint twfore you go. No wise men experts an apology from a woman under any circumstances " "ApologyI" Kb k broke In Impatiently "ttf course not!" "Very well, then, continued big turn pillion, "that being so, |i will prevent j any possible awkwardness if you ignore i the late regrettable Incident altogether And I n.ay add that t know y ot would ! tie consulting her own wishes if you i i refrained from mentioning the object ] of our voyag* at all The subject is i not one with pleasant association* as * tart Ween herself Slid V»U I Melt thought the colonel a model of 1 | judgment and k>o tn«** ll» lit inked | him again liasltjy aid Went bel tw with g healing heart I'amilla a as in lh* I j saloon by blmstlf. ahe llualod when he ; entered, but greeted him net ot ally en l i | without ant reference in what had i passed While her neiot lay in hla rb I looked at him a little sadly, he fancied j g* though a tinge «f her flrgt dlsap pmntment stilt remained; bnt that sore ly was natural enough, and needed only tlm« to efface It from her memoi y.

"Certainly," said Dick; "It Is tong past the time; hut 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." sail Dick; "he a*«med all right when I l*f* the ship yesterday." "Tea," aald the colonel, "there la a sudden kind of feverish attack which la not uncommon, I am told, In thesa latitudes It look him quite suddenly. Just as we cam* on hoard; ha was very queer, and kept ms up late into the night talking In the most random man ner. I thought you must have heard us," he added, with a quick, searching glance of Dick. "I did h»nr y<»u!" replied lie latter, j "And that reminds me that I also heard, ' or fancied I heard, a boat put off ,n i tlte middle of the night, and coma aboard some time later." "Just #o," aald tha colonel's "that was what he and I were arguing about, t Wanted some things I had forgotten fetched from the Hamilton, and ''»p I tain Worsley refused me a boat, hut I ! got my own way at last with some dlf* I tl< tilty," And having fired 'df this -*■ i planatlon which h<- had ready loaded and primed for some time past, b* turned Hie conversation adroitly bark to tha Hamilton, and the Incidents of their voyage from Kngtand. When the meal was over, Dick remembered the captain again. "I can't say I regret old Worsley's | temporary a faience,'' he remarked, "for j I prefer very much our present party of three; but I think I must go and see him. for the sake of rIvUlty." "I don't think I would.

And b* went toward th# door. The colonel turned away and btt hi* mustache He dared not Insist further, for fear of arouelng suspicion; for, upon the face of It, what could It matter to him whether lii' k went or not ? Hut In reality a good deal wa* at stake, and Dick's sudden resolve had taken him for once unpre pared. Ho he sat still, and listened with desperate anxiety to hear what would follow. The H|>e*dw*ir» construction between decks wa* not guile that of an ordinary brig Mh* wa* large, but. a* was only reasonable In a ship carrying government stores, she had no provision for a nurnoer of passengers, but was Instead fitted with unusually ample quarter* for the captain and three or four others. Thus, while the saloon was small, there were on each side of It three good cabins, or rattier state rooms, Instead of th* ordinary bertha. On the starboard aide Madame de Mon taut. the colonel, and Dick w*r# quar tered; on the opposite aid* were th* captain's two rooms and the mate's cabin. A narrow passage was left on each side between these state-room* and the saloon, The col >n*l, with hi# head against the wooden wall of the latter, could hear perfectly all that passed on the other aide; and. In fact, when Dick stood at the captain’s door h* wa# within a yard of him First he hoard him knock once, and again louder. There wa# no answer. The col on*! was rigid, but hi# eye# betrayed Intense anxiety. Camilla had fortu nately gone to her own cabin, and there was no one to observe hi* un concealable agitation. Dick knocked a third time The colonel ground hi# teeth and drew In hi* breath. A rat tling noise followed. Instantly the ten sion of his limbs relaxed, and a look of relief spread over his face. Dick had tried th* door and found It locked The colonel got up and wiped his brow. His secret was safe now, and he must g*t ready for another little scene In the comedy, which could not be long de layed. Dick meanwhile was knocking again, _i _III.. ur„.af.., t... ...... Htlll there wan no reply, and he began to fear that the unfortunate man ha1 fainted, with no one at hand to look after him. He turned to the mate'* room. It wax empty.
