'ln one of my voyages from Cape

"1 shared my cabin with a peculiar
rnfin, whose name was Lazarus. He
irjiiHle me promise that if lie should die

put on to watcli (he body until It wan
time for the funeral. When the burial
party arrived the quartermaster in
formed the captain that be thought the
body had moved In the sack. The sack
was opened, and Lazarus eventually
came to life again. Such was the
story I.tr.nruH told me. Lazarus was
a thin man with a sallow face. Ho
had an enormous appetite and appear
ed at every meal, to which he devoted
Ills whole energies. The good feeding
only seemed to add to hlr eorpselike
appea ranee. One evening, sure enough,
when we were about halfway to our
voyage's end, he apparently died again.
The doctors took him In charge this
time, however, and he came out of his
trance without any shotted sack epi

writes as follows of tho relations exist

the Poles: "They remain separate, like
oil and water. The Russian, even
though he Is the master, Is of no conse
ijuence here. It is only necessary to ob
serve for the space of an hour from
some corner of the elegant dining room
of the hotel the behavior of the Polish
society and the complete isolation of
tho Russian officers or officials. It Is
only necessary to lie able to distinguish
the groups from one another the Hal
tie nobility with their almost bourgeois
families, merchants from all the prin
cipal countries, Russian functionaries
and Polish society nnd It will at once
become clear who is at home here,
firmly rooted to tho soil, so that nil oth
ers become strangers and intruders. It
is tho Poles, and the Poles alone."

every possible country in which" my
regiment might lie engaged, learned
the local names of common articles of
food and ascertained particularly what
provision nature made to sustuln life.
Tho study Interested me. Once, dur
ing the Sudan campaign, it was really
useful and procured me promotion."
"Tell me about it."
"During some operations in tho desert
it was necessary for my troop to fol
low up a small party of rebels mounted
on camels, which, as you probably
know, can go without water much long
er than horses. We were almost with
in Btrlklng distance when our horses
completely gave out, but I luckily no
ticed indications which showed that
there was water beneath a portion of
the plain much below tho general level.
Half an hour's spade work proved that
I was right. We took up the pursuit
again and ran the quarry to earth, and
I got my captaincy."
"Was there no light?"
He paus'ed an appreciable time bo
fore replying; Then he evidently made
up his mind to perform some disagvee
able task. Tho watching girl could
sco the change In his face, the sharp
transition from eager interest to angry
resentment.
"Yes," lie went on at last, "there was
a fight. It was a rather stiff affair, lie
cause a troop of British cavalry which
should have supported mo had turned
buck owing to the want of water al
ready mentioned. Hut that did not
save the officer in charge of the Twen.
ty-fourth lancers from being severely
reprimanded."
"The Twenty-fourth lancers!" cried
Iris. "Lord Ventnor's regiment!"
"Lord Ventnor was tho officer in
question."
Her face crimsoned. "T.hen you
know him?" she said.
"I do."
"Is he your enemy?"
"Yes."
"And that is why you were so agi
tated that last day on the Sirdar, when
poor Lady Tozer asked mo if I were
engaged to him?"
"Yes."
"How could it affect you? You did
not even know my name then?"
"It affected me because the sudden
mention of his name recalled my own
disgrace. I quitted the army sir
months ago, Miss Deane, under very
painful circumstances. A general court
martial found me guilty of conduct
unbecoming an officer nnd a gentle
man. I was not even given a chance
to resign. I was cashiered."
He pretended to speak with cool
truculence. lie thought to compel her
into shrinking contempt. Yet his face
blanched somewhat, and, though he
steadily kept the pipe between his
teeth and smoked with studied uncon
corn, Ills lips twitched a little.
And he dared not look nt her, for the
girl's wondering eyes were fixed upon
him, nnd the blush had disappeared as
quickly as it came.
"I remember something of this," she
said slowly, never once averting her
gaze. "There was some gossip con
cerning it when I first came to Hong
kong. You aro Captain Robert An
struther?" "I am."
"And you publicly thrashed Lord
Ventnor ns the result of a quarrel
about a woman?"
"Your recollection Is quite accurate."
"Who was to blame?"
"The lady said that I was."
"Was It true?"
Robert Anstruther, late captain of
Bengal cavalry, rose to his feet. He
preferred to take his punishment stand
ing. "The court martial agreed with her,
Miss Deane, and I am u prejudiced
witness," he replied.
"Who was the-lndy?'
"The wife of my colonel, Mrs. Costo
bell." "Oh!"
Long afterward ho remembered the
agony of that moment nnd winced
even at the remembrance. Hut he hud
decided upon a fixed policy, and he
was not a man to Hindi from conse
quences. Miss Deane must bo taught
to despise him, else God help them
both she might learn to love him as ho
now loved her. So. blundering toward
his goal, as men always blunder where
n woman's heart Is concerned, lie blind
ly persisted in allowing lior to niako
tucli false deductions as sho chose
from his words.
Iris was the first to regain some
measure of self control.
"I am glad you have been so candid,
Captain Anstruther," sho commenced,
but he broke in abruptly.
"Jenks, if you please, Miss Deane;
Robert Jenks.
"Certainly, Mr. Jenks. Let mo be
equally explicit before wo quit the
subject. I have met Mrs. Costoboll. I
do not like her. I consider her a de
ceitful woman. Your court martial

had Its members been of her sex. As
for Lord Ventnor, lie is nothing to me.
It Is true he asked my father to be per
mitted to pay his addresses to me, but
my dear old dad left the matter wholly
to my decision, and I certainly never
gave Lord Ventnor uny encourage
ment. I believe now that Mrs. Costo
bell lied and that Lord Ventnor lied
when they attributed any dishonorable
action to you, and I am glad that you
beat him in the club. I am quite sure
he deserved it."
Not one word did this strange man
vouchsafe- in reply. Ho started vio
lently, seized the ax lying at his feet
and went straight among the trees,
keeping his face turned from Iris so
that she might not see the tears in his
eyes.
As for tho girl, she began to scour
her cooking utensils with much en
ergy and soon commenced a song. Con
sidering that she was compelled to con
stantly endure the company of a do
graded officer, who had been expelled
from the service with ignominy, she
was absurdly contented. Indeed, with
the happy inconsequence of youth, sho
quickly threw all care to the winds nnd
devoted her thoughts to planning a
surprise for the next day by preparing
some tea, provided she could surrepti
Mously open tho chest.

house, with a framework of
8
sturdy trees selected on account of
their location. To these he nailed or
tied crossbeams of felled saplings, nnd

the united strength of Iris and himself
to haul into position tho heavy sheet
that topped the structure, while he
was compelled to desist from active
building operations In order to fashton
a rough ladder. Without some such
contrivance lie could not get the top- (
