He eeald do all his duty and hear besides.
It pooled him to know what this young
lady had disosrered that kept her so long in
oaoposltloa.
Ho was relieved when a stalwart, whito
flannel auited young man hove in sight, evi
dently ia search of her.
Ah, good morning, Miss Clarice."
8he sprang into an erect attitude like the
letting go of a bent whalebone.
"Good morning," aha replied, blushing.
"You are an early riser. What aro you

She laughed. Her face was a fine ma
hogany brown from the red of the young

He laughed, as if he were accustomed to
find her amusing.
"Hupposo we havo the Captain lower you

Tho Captain paid no attention. Klio

plashed softly against the bow. as the pro

Clarice; then abruptly changing the sub
ject, -How blue is this lake to you I"
'-Hew blue! Well, as your dress. Now

Chicago "
The breakfast bell rang in tho cabin and
sent out to them its most discordant calL
,Au expletive, how impatient the Captain
could only surmise, escaiied the young man.
"I told you our time was short, Clarice.
See mc soon, darling. Don't keep me wait
ing all day. And snub that old Lord Methu
selah every time he speaks to you."
"Dear, Paul! I mean dear me. Paul!
.that bell is sure to wake Aunt Emily. I
must go." Then louder, for the benefit of
the public, "Why, the fog has reached us!"
and in n hasty, tender aside, "Be careful not
to tako cold."
"Prudent little grandmother!" murmured
Paul Drexcl, as sho went around the side of
the boat and was Just about to disapjK-ar.
The old adobe catacomb!"
The latter half of his ejaculation referred
to quite another person.
A small, gray-whiskered, austerely-withered
gentleman had emerged from the cabin
just in time to encounter Clarice, whom he
made a gallant effort to detain.
She eluded him, however, and passed on
out of sight while ho advanced.
He came leisurely, putting a final polish
upon bis finger-nails with a silk handker
chief. Then ho looked aloft at the weather,
with an oyc-glaas glued to such a cold,
staring orb, that it might itself have been
the congealing cause of the bank of mist
that was slowly enveloping them.
Drexel's lazily-athletic framo grew sud
denly rigid with a desire to clutch and
drown this insignificant creature. That he
should dare to aspire to tho notice of a
beautiful woman like Clarice wan enough in
itself to merit speedy and iijnomiuioua ex
tinction. He deserved drowning, if that
were not too honorable.
It would be a good nervous relish to pick
him up, shake the littlo pinch of breath out
of his narrow chest, closo a couple of steady
fingers round bis aristocratic windpiie
and hear tho small finul gurgle that would
ensuo.

this bank'president.
"Something of a fog."
"Yes sir," from the Captain.
"A fair run, however. Our journey has
been very favorable. Good morning, air,"
to Drexel.
A freezing nod.
"Yes sir, a tip-top run. Right time of
year for that" tho Captain was more
deferential than he had been to the youtig
people "thank '00 sir," tie added, accepting
a Havana from the case courteouily ex
tended to him by Mr. Cumberland.
"I don't smoke," was Drexel's surly rib
to a like proffer.
"Breakfast is all ready, Mr. Cumber
land," said the Captain. "Better cat before
you smoke."
And the two went In together.
Later in the forenoon rugs were brought
out and spread upon tho desk, shawls and
trayellng blankets were adjusted and ar
ranged, and a party of ladies was ensconced
where they could be carefully protected and
yet have the benefit of tho f reh air. Mr.
VYintcrilcld, her mature daughter, Rosa
mond, and her wayward nloce, Clarice.
Mr. Cumberland was in polity attendance,
and his assiduous devotion to their comfort
received gracious recognition from the two
elder ladies but won little favor from Clar
ice. She was restless in their company,
nervous and restrained.
They had not been long seated before she
expressed a desire to go for a few minutes
uHn the hurricane deck. She wanted to
escape them, and, besides, sho had caught a
shadowy perspective of Paul's hat round the
corner of the pilot house.
Mrs. Winterfleld demurred. Miss Rosa
mond was horrified, but Mr. Cumberland
greeted tho proposition with considerable
indulgence, offering to go with her, if Mrs.
W Interficld did not object
Ho sped up the Udder like a cat and

Rosamond and her mother were left to
themsclres, two such pale personalities that
where they wcru could literally be called
solitude.
The Captain waa oat for on after-breakfast

out the occasionally viaibte ahore, for the
feg lifted at intervals, giving them a gleam
of sua, and then settled down agaia dense
and cheerless.

The Fates were propitious, too. for Miss
Rosamond had a nervous headache and
went early to bed. Mrs. Winternekl's sen
sibilities were so harried by tho continuous
blowing of the fog-signal which music
had been going on since three in the after
noonthat she too was forced to seek ber
state-room.
She ordered Clarice not to set foot on deck
that evening. "Stayia the cabin and en
tertain Mr. Cumberland." she said.
"Very well," demurely. Bhe knew Mr.
Cu mberlan d'a neuralgia had driven him into
retirement long ago.
At ten o'clock, whentbe Captain bezan his
watch, two muffled figures were there be
forohlm. The coal at the end of a cigar be
trayed the sex of one. and a dim pennon of
a vail that of the other.
The weather was very thick, they were
evidently the only romantic passengers on
board. The man said, "it's only the Captain
he won't hear."
"But Paul, that seems dreadful. I caa't
do that"
"Yes. you can. Dreadtnl! Dreadful to
go with mo! You just now said you would
give all the world to go with me."
"Yes yes. But It seems ungrateful.
They have meant to be kind to me."
"Kind! They would marry you to that
death's head that old mausoleum. Do
you call that kindness!"
"They can't make me marry himP'
"They will make you marry him. They
would drive me away. They spurn, scorn
me. I have nothing in my pockets except
my bare hands when tho weather is frosty.
I havo no shelter for you except these
arms."
In tho gho stly haze that enshrouded them
be demonstrated that the arms were fully
capable of encircling her.
"O, Paul!"
"Will you!"
"How did you sny we should do!"

or notice us."
"But Paul."
"Hush! I will take you to my mother's.
You will bo married as her daughter should.
Once you are my wife let them whistle!"
As he said these words tho lugubrious
blast of the stount whistle, which had been
silent for some time during a temporary
lifting of the fog, wheezed forth a longer,
hoarser note than usual.
Clarice laughed hysterically.
Paul joined her.
"That's the bank president's voice when
ho get's the news. You will hear him all
over Chicago." he said.
"Too oot," tho fog signal again.
"That's Mrs. Winterfleld as sho goM into
convulsions."
The two plotters fell to giggllngand laugh
ing to such an extent that the Captain le
came fairly nervous for fear he should
laugh too and betray himself.
He hail got only a part of their plan, and
now. like the callow th injs they were, they
must lose sight of tho momentous issues
before them and waste time in reckless
merriment
Drexel was tbo first to grow grave.
"It is our last chance, Clarice the very
List and only positively. You aunt will
forgive me when sho knows I am a news
paper man and may write her up."
"Are you sure I ought Paul!" What if
you should get tired of me, aud we ahould
havo to bo divorced!"
"No place where it could bo done cheeper
or easier than in Chicago."
Then both laughed again.
If the Captain's face coald have been
seen, too, all tho wrinkles round bis eyes
would have been found puckered Into their
funniest radius.
"We can't have a cottage, Clarice, but we
can live in a boarding house. Think of it
Don't recklessly throw away such possi
bilities. I offer you all all. without reserv
ation except perhaps, this cigar. May I
light it!"
"Let mo do it"
She struck a match, bit off the end of a
cigar with a wry face, and her whole coun
tenance glowed ruddy like a bunch of pop
pies, aashe drew it to a bright tip.
"See, sweetheart, what you are to do for
me a helpmeet indeed."
"Well, Paul. If I don't repent and recant

"Then it's a bargain. Yoa won't ruin mo

Every whit like poor sister Constance,"
she sighed, "just so Impetuous, just so re
gardless of consequences."
A tho day went on Clarice grew more
and more puzzled in her own mind as to
whether her attempted flight had been pur
posely intercepted, or whether it was mere
chance that her aunt and train had appeared
at the critical moment
Her doubts were set niJe in mid-afternoon,
when Mrs. Winterfleld. having had
her nap, sent for Clarice to conic to her
room.
"My child, sit down," was her rather
agituted greeting.
Clarice obeyed.
"la it true. CUrlce. ' It true that you were
eloping with that v outig uau this morning ("
Clarice was prepared to be defiant
"It I true."
"Where were you going!"
I was going to his mother's house,"
"And you were to bo married V
"Yes."
"Do you think that a dignified thing for a
young lady to do!"
"Quito as dignified as for the woman who
should be my mother to try to make me
marry a man I hate a man old enough to bo
my grandfather."
"Hush, Clarice. I am astonished at you."
Clarice's unwonted temper took a sudden
turn In the direction of tears. Sho burst
into a storm of them, and they were a relief
from theday's complex emotions. ,
"Auntie. I don't mean to be disrespectful,
but I say what I really do thinu"
"But Clarice, I havo no desire except for
your good. I waut to see you established. I
know more of tho world than you. A icn
niless man may be very agreeable to look at
or to talk with, but what sort of a home do
you suppose he could furnish hU wife!"
"How do you know Paul Is penniless! Ho
earns a good salary and has all the world
before hi?
And Cmrice fell to sobbing anew.
"Dear ae," said Mrs. Winterfleld," I had
no Idea you felt this way. I supposed It
was the most frivolous flirtation. You can't
have known him more than threo week."
"Why. auntie. I've known him ever since
I was a tiny girl. Ho was my first boy lover
before mamma died."
Clarice!"
"I told you to when I flrit met him, but
you didn't seem to hear. 1 hadn't seen him
for years, of course, until he came to the
springs."
"But Rosamond said that story was made
up to secure greater freedom."
"It was not it was true. Paul used to
draw me on bis hand-sled, and fight about
me. too."
I "No doubt," smiled Mr. Winterfleld. "and
he seems inclined to fight again."
An idea was slowly dawning within Mrs.
Wintcrfleld's mind which caused her man
ner to grow rather sunny. Why oppo

mond! There might bj two weddings in
stead of one.
'Very well," she said at length. "I will
send for Mr. Drexel and see what ho has to
say for himself. He ought to bo ashamed
to take such a course a he has."
"He was comx:llel to do it. You would
not recognize him nor listen to me."
"Tot tut Clarice, you have said enough.
Go now and stop crying, or your eye will
be red at dinner."
Paul Drexel came promptly at Mrs. Win
tcrfleld's summons. Ho did not act in the
least ashamed.
"I hail to deal with prejudice." ho aaid r
scctfully, "anil I choo to deal boldly."
During tho Interview Mrs. WtnWfl
alternated between resentment and am mo
ment She felt at a serious disadvantage be
fore this handsome young giant who would
say auch audacious thing in a courtly way,
and who did not humble his had even be
fore her imposing self.
The result was a compromise. lie was to
foci himself welcome to visit Clarice until a
better acquaintance was established, but
meanwhile the question of an engagement
must lie in abeyance.
Clarice was radiant No ono who knew
him could resist Paul.
Mr. Cumberland was made acquainted
with the arrangement He blushed a win
try red aad trembled a little bnt acquiesced.
Rosamond tried to make amends by grow
ing languishing and tender. She wa glad
to chapcroae Clarice ami her lover when her
mother waa unable to go, provided Mr. Cum
berland made one of toe party, which he
usually did. They were all upon the most
amiable terma now.
An engagement waa finally sanctioned
aad then Paul began urging a speedy mar
riage. His persuasion were successful ae 1 a day

CnmberUad was active la every thine- per
