-I liiow lt-I know it nil , " returned
Irene , "but yet I cannot help these feel-
h Rt. Why will she not let me love her ?
BomcthliiB drawn mo towards liur-my
deep RTutltutlf. it ifl-and yet she repulses
cae. And then why will she not tell me
who and what binUV"
"Ah , ray dear mlwtrcsR , when people
are doiuc so much for us , it is hardly KCH-
troas io blame them for what they do
fcot do. 0 , as sure as you live , that
{ range woman loves you dearly.
P. "Do you think so ? " 1'renc nuked , earn-
fe atly.
" 1 nm iiure of It. "
"Well , I think Hhe does. At any rale ,
I love her. "
At this juncture a woman entered the
room and informed Irene that there were
two Indians below who wished to sec
wtf.
wtf."Of what people arc they ? " the nmfd-
M asked.
"The Totonaques , I think , " the woman
answered. "One of them ayB he knows
pn , nnd that you stopped awhile beneath
tlfl roof last Bummer. "
"It must be Rood .lacar Xanpa. ' cried
Irene , starting to her feet. "Don't you
think K > , Cassandra'/ "
"I don't flee who else it can be , was
the girl's reply.
"It must be. Come , Cassandra , you
kail po down with me. "
"So the two girls followed their hostess
town stoirfl , and in the front room they
ound the two 1'nidanB. Irene gazed into
ttie face of the man nearest to her , and
at first thought she had never seen the
Karthy features before ; but in a moment
wore HIL detected somethlnR natural in
the countenance.
"Did you seek me ? " she at ked , timidly ,
wondering if they had not come to bring
icr Borne word of Clarence.
"Ay , Irene we have sought you foij a
ng while , " the man replied.
The maiden started at the sound of that
rolcc , and upon the next moment nho
could ttce beneath the artificial darkiifsn
f the skin. She staggered back ami
grasped the back of a chair for support ,
nd her face had turned as pale as mar-
bio. Cassandra hoemed to have discover
ed the truth at the same time , for she lit
tered a low , quick cry , and started back.
"You know me , ch ? " spoke the visitor ,
t K sarcastic tone.
"O , heaven have mercy ! " gasped Irene ,
ovr winking lute the chair , and covering
er face with her hands.
"And I have found you at last , have
XI You did very wrong to run away from
your father. "
An the man thun bpoke , he advanced
.nd placed his hand upon Irene's head.
But she shrank from him us though he
kad been a serpent.
"Don't touch mel" she groaned , in bit-
tr ngouy. " 0 , leave me , and let me be
Ionc. "
"No , no , " returned St. Marc for he It
was "I have not come all this way fet
you , only to give you up again. I have a
purpose in this visit which must lie an
wcred ; so you must not ask me to leavt
you ucain. "
"O , what evil spirit led you hither to
curse me more ? " the poor girl utteied ,
clasping her hands ami looking lute the
nun's /ace.
"Perhaps you wonder how I found
you , " returned St. Marc ; "but it was a
Tery easy matter. I knew that u priest
hi Vern Cruz received word from you ,
tud that It was conveyed to Captain
Howard in prison. So I knew this MIIUO
Uownrd would heok you. V followed him
CH far as the Mexican capital , and iiy |
ewa instincts led me the rest of the way.
And it seems 1 was not mistaken. You
to our mutual friend , Saa Itcnito , has
come with me. "
Irene looked up , and she recognized the
pian , and as she did HO the lust ray of
hope left her houl , for she knew of no
power In Mexico which could take a child
from ltn parent.
"Come , " said St. Mare , again advanc
ing and placing his hand upon her hhoul-
dor , "you will go with me now. I have
ngaged good quarters for you. "
"Not no ! " whrieked the maiden , darting
away to Cassandra's side. "O , you shall
ot take mel Help ! help ! O , help ! "
lire St. Marc could plauc his hand upon
th < > girl again , Die door of the room woo
thrown open , and Mendrld rushed In.
"What Is all this ? " he cried , as he
topped and gazed around upon those
present. "Why are you here ? 'he added ,
looking into the face of him whom he
upposcd to be an Indhiu.
"Easy , Muor easy , " returned St. Marc.
"t found uiy purpose bottei answered by
assuming this disguise when I set out In
parch of my daughter. Perhaps > ou
don't recognize Antonio St. Marc In this
"St. Murcl" uttered tli old man , In
surprise.
"You know me uow , I trust , " said the
visitor , removing his cap , and taking the
wig of long , coarse hair from his head.
"I do , " the merchant returned , in a
ad , disappointed totie.
"And I suppose now yon will offer no
resistance to my taking my child wit !
At this moment Irene runlied forward
nml knelt at Memlrld'H feet.
"Save me ! save m l" sbf cried , In frnn-
dc tonra.
"Senor , " spoke St. Marc , er * the old
pun could answer the maiden , "my child
left me about a year ago , und from that
time to the present I have searched for
fcer without ceasing. Now T have found"
ker , nnd under the laws , nnd in the nnme ,
f my country , I claim her. Of course
you will not force me to extreme in m-
ures. "
"O , save me sarel" uroaned Irene.
"Arise , my child , " spoke the old man ,
at the same time lifting the muhlcn from
fte ground ; he spoke tromulousljr , und
there were tears In hi * cjres. "You know
I would help you If I could , but In cU.
1 ran do nothing. Your father -claims
you , and against his claim no power In
( he nation can avail you. "
"Now , Irene , " said Ht. Marc , advanc
ing to her side onee more , "you sec how
the matter stands , and I trust you will
be wise. At nil events , . " he added , benl- |
Ing upon her a look of savage. Import ,
"yoiC will not llnd it for your interest to
break from me again. "
"Tluib fades hope away ! " the poor qlrl
uttered , and as the wonls left her lips
she would have sunk down had not her
father held her up.
" " - said addressing Cassandra
"Ciime , St. Miu-c ,
sandra , "you had better follow your mis-
Iruss. " And then turning to San HiMiito ,
he added : "Conic we'll take her before
she knows cnoiigli to parley with me any
more here. Hiur.v out and find a ear-
Huge of some sort ns soon as possible. "
Sail Beuito hurriud out and had the
Rood fortune to llnd a carriage just pass
ing. He hailed the driver , and in a few
moments more the insensible form of
Irene was lifted In. When our heroine
came to herself she found Cassandra
bending over her.
"Have 1 dreamed ? " she whispered ,
shuddering fearfully as she spoke.
"Look up look up , " Cassandra return
ed. "Alas ! I cannot even weep for , \ou ! "
Iiene started up and gazed around
She found herself in a well furnished
apartment , but differently furnished from
any she was ever In before. In a few
moments the whole dieud truth came
back to her mind ; and ns soon as she re
membered all , she MInl ; back upon the
sofa and groaned In bitterest anguish.
In a few moments more St. Marc came
In. lie hud probably heard the voices ,
and knew that Irene had recovered. She
sat up as he entered , and would have
fallen at his feet , but he detected the
symptoms of her movement , and waved
her back.
"My child , " he said , "you know all that
has passed , so I shall have only to tell
you of the future. You know Martin San
Itcnito. You know he has long been one
of my warmest friends , and that , but for
my solemn pledge to .Illok Tudel , I should
have given him your hand ere this. But
1 am now released from all pledges to
Tudel , and can hence bestow this mark
of my esteem upon San Henlto. You will
become his wife ere we leave this place.
Now , mark me ; this Is fixed , and It can
not be altered. "
A few moments Irene sat and gazed her
father In the face , and then she clasped
her hands.
"In the name of heaven all just and
merciful , " she cried , "I beseech you to
spare me. Look upon me , my father , and
see me here weak and defenseless. How
have I ever harmed you , or how wronged
you , that you should thus curse the morn
of my life ? O , spare me ! Spare me this
dread blow , and I'll bless thee while life
lasts. "
"Irene , " returned the man , very coolly
and calmly like the breath of a still
morning In winter "you have pleaded all
you need to plead. You have escaped
me onee , and thereby threw me into a
scrape from which I narrowly escaped
with my life ; but you cannot escape me
again. I am determined now. Ay were
all the prayers of all the saints at this
moment presented to me in behalf of your
request they would not move me an atom.
You will be married to San Henito to
morrow. I nm determined not to hold
you long ; and if you oseupe again it must
be from the hands of your husband , and
not mine.
"And must It be to-morrow ? " the maid-
u murmured.
"As sure us to-morrow comes , it shall. "
"No hone ! no merev ! "
"Yes both. If von will be * wise , as I
in , and take the things of earth as they
ome , you'll hare hope and mercy
noucli. "
"I would die now ! "
"I won't disturb you more now , my
hild. It Is growing late , and you may
ike to be alone , lint remember you1
lecome a wife to-morrow , just as sure as
he suii rises again ! "
Ami with tnobe words Antonio St.
ilarc left the room. When he was one
reno threw herself upon Cassandra's
lOHom and groaned aloud. She could not
veep now. The shock was too deep too
dreadful. And what could her faithful
companion say to comfort her ? She could
only uolnt to heaven.
"O , Clarence ! Clarence ! " murmured the
stricken one , "where art thou now ? Shall
I not see thce ouco more ere the frull and
jrlttle cup of life passes from me11
A few moments after this the maiden
remained quiet , and then looking up into
Cassandra's face , she said :
"And Calypso where is she ? "
"I think she went out to meet Captain
Howard , " returned the girl. "She did
not say * o , exactly , when she went away ,
but F thought from what she did say
that she feared he might not know exact
ly which way to turn , bo bho went out to
meet him. "
" 0 , I wish she were here ; I think even
she might help me. "
"Then let us hope that she may come.
Ay that they both may come. "
"But to-morrow. Cassandra O. to
morrow ! "
"I know ; but between now and then a
smart horse might easily travel from
here to the capital. Ay , Uunnevedeo came
from the capital to tills place In ten houn
upou only one horse leaving there at
midnight , aud reaching here at ten
o'clock on the next day. "
" 0 , if 1 dared to hope ! Hut alas ! what
can they do if they come ? "
This uus a question Cassandra could
not answer ; bo her foundation for hope
> YHS blown to the winds.
CIIAPTEU XXI.
Irene Btood alone in nor room. St. Mart-
had just entered the apartment.
"In nn hour. " he sttia , 'd0 you under
stand ? "
Ho tlxed a look upon the poor girl that
reminded her of those sinister , serpentine
glances that hud go often before filled
her with deep repugnance for the man
who called her "my child ! "
Irene was white as uiarblo.
"There Is no escape ? " she murmured
la a heart-broken way.
" ! " St.
"Escape repeated Marc with a
sneer ; "from what a wealthy husband ,
A line home ? Tudel was n pirate , but ns
to Ilenllu , what objection can you have
to him ? "
Item * shuddered. The thought of her
Houl'M Ideal , and the fawning , heartless
Mexican aroused every true womanly
instinct of uvurslon and dislike.
"If there was n means of escape "
began St. Marc ,
lie paused there impressively , and fixed
an eye upon Irene : that canted hereto
hope vaguely , while she trembled with
u certain Indelluuble fear.
"Ye , yes , " she murmured.
"Would you accept It ? "
Again the man appeared us he had
upou that night of her ( light , when she
had shrank from him with appiohenslon.
lie came nearer to her. lie whispered :
"Irene , if I will save you from becom
ing this man's wife "
"Oh ! I wilt blusd you ! " she cried fer
vently.
"If I will take you far away , to Spain ,
to n new life away from them nil , will
you accept love , wealth , happiness , an the
wife of iinotherV"
"Whom ? " she cried sharply.
"Myself. "
" " v
"You ?
"Ye.s , Irene , " pursued St. Marc ; "you
must have known latterly that I am not
what I 1mve claimed. Listen , 1 am not
even related to you. "
"You are not ! " she faltered.
"No. Answer ! The time Is short. Will
jou marry me ? "
"Oh , never ! "
"By my soul , you shall ! " shouted St.
Marc , losing all control of himself.
He reached out to seize her , to force
her to listen to him. She evaded his
grasp.
As idic ran towards the door It opened.
He , pursuing , fell back with n frightened
face. A woman stood there.
"Who Is this ? " gasped Irene , recoiling
also.
"Calypso , the Wanderer ! "
St. Marc had staggered back , white as
death ,
"Yes Calypso ! " repeated the Intruder.
Her face , her garb , had changed. Gone
was all the wild , savage adornment , the
dark face stain.
A woman was revealpd with n tragic
yet careworn face , and as her natural
eyes sought those of Irene , the latter ex
perienced anew that strange thrill of In
terest aud love with which this person
always inspired her.
"Ay , St. Marc , " sp bt the woman ,
sternly "do you know meV"
"I know you now ! " muted the man
hoarsely , crouching helplessly In a chair.
"I nm the woman , " said Calypso ,
"whose husband you killed , whose for
tune you appropriated , whose child you
stole , fifteen years since. You had m
imprisoned in an asylum in Spain. I
escaped , but I hud no proofs against you
-till nowl"
"A fiction what nonsense is this ? "
muttered St. Marc , striving to rally.
"It Is the truth ! " answered a clear , firm
voice , and Captain Clarence Howard
strode into the room. "See ! Your own
confession , written on the eve of your
duel with Tudel , verifies all that this
lady claims. "
"Clarence Captain Ilowardl" gasped
Irene , reeling while she stood In a maze
of joy , uncertainty , suspense.
Captain Howard gained her side. lie
had to support that lovely form , for
Irene's overstrained heart was well nigh
giving way.
"Who who are you ? " finally murmur
ed Irene happy , safe , under the shelter
ing protection of that gallant friend-
putting a longing hand out towards Ca
lypso.
"Your mother , child ! " answered the ac
cuser of St. Marc. "Your own loving
mother Calypso the Wanderer no
more ! "
* * * * * * *
Some strange inllucnccs of fate fell
across the lives of that little group be
fore many days had passed.
All that Calypso luul said was true ,
and , faced with his crimes , St. Marc , n
self-confessed culprit , hung himself in the
juil.
Benlto tied from the country , when he
learned that his heartless plot to coerce
the fair girl to become his wife had fail
ed. .
Then at once all matters seemed to ad
just themselves to the welfnre and liappi-
ness of those who had suffered a com
mon woe and the blighting march of
grlm-visaged war.
Ooldcn-browed pence came in with the
forward advance of the banners of the
victorious army.
Cassandra , Peter , the noble priest all
these , and others of the cruiser's loyal
friends shared In the newer , brighter
life now ushered in.
Irene had found a mother , a lover , for
tune , home and friends.
The gallant Captain Howard had won
n beautiful bride , whose tender , girlish
heart went out to him with all the fer
vent joy and gratitude of a pure and In
tense nature.
The Stars and Stripes waved victorious
over the golden city of the Montczumas ,
mill the brave Texan cruiser had helped
place them there by his dauntless deeds
of valor !

When a cheerful , bravo and light-hearted woman is sud
denly plunged into that perfection of misery , the bluea , it is
a sad picture.
It is usually this way :
She has been feeling out of sorts for some time , experi
encing severe headache and backache j sleeps very poorly
and is exceedingly nervous.
Sometimes she is nearly overcome bv faintness , dizzi
ness , and palpitation of the heart ; then that bearing-down
feeling is dreadfully wearing.
Her husband says , "Now , don't get the blues ! You will
be all right after you have taken the doctor's msoicine. "
But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by
day , until all at once she realizes that a distressing female
complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake.
She loses faith ; hope vanishes ; then comes the morbid ,
melancholy , everlasting blues. She should have been told
just what the trouble was , but probably she withheld some
information from the doctor , who , therefore , is unable to
accurately locate her particular illness.
Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from
just this kind of trouble , and now retains their grateful
letters in her librarv as proof of the great assistance she has
rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick
woman in the land.
