She hesitated, her hands clasped on the chairbiick. her bosom risiaj; and filling tremulously. Vet finally she forced her lips to reply, as though thus seeking the quickest way of clarifying the s; urn Ion.

Lord Darlingioii'S membership in the house of lor.Is gives him Jt certain official recognition abroad which he does not -care to have lapse. The yacht's cap tain accompanied them, and 110 dream of evil befalling those left behind ever occurred to r.ny one of us. O senor, tell me. what does it all mean? What has happened .' ' "I presume 1 must explain." I said, regretfully, "plthongh it is not an easy task b any means. You will have ronliilt-uce in me. Miss Doris?" "I S.I1.1II cmieaior to do so." she re turned, an increasing coldness in her voice. "Hut 1 am Lady Darlington." "Yeur pardon: I sut posed you to be thai gentleman's daughter." The color swept in a wave of rich crimson into her cheeks, the gray eyes becoming darker. "Nevertheless, senor, I am Lord Darlington's wife." Even in that moment of embar rassment and perplexity, when I was scarcely less agitated than herself, this unexpected announcement of such a relationship came to me as a shock. Why it should, what difference it could Iossibly make. I did not in the least realize, yet 1 was instantly conscious of the disappointment, of deep regret. The revelation, thus calmly, proudly made, was so unexpected, so destruc tive of all my previous conceptions, as to seem an impossibility. Could this young, clear-eyed woman be indeed the wife of that grim, inactive, ancient peer of the realm? "You apparently question the truth of my words," she remarked, coldly observant. "It was only the natural surprise of a moment. Lady Darlington," I hastened to apologize. "The thought of your marriage had never before oc curred to me." She looked directly into my eyes, her own plainly indignant, yet her LAST VOYAGE OF T m Vf r.7 ijll'll kiii . - JTW" " .0 V- cr. -. .

"I do not feel, sciior, that there can be any necessity for discussing i my private affairs with you at present. hnoimh that 1 am I-idy Darlington, and that 1 have jaiiently answered the lather Impudent questions you have seen fit to ask. Now, Senor Estevan. kindly enlighten me as to the cause of your intrusion into this apartment, and your presence on board the yacht." Her tone had changed to imperious ness. This was plainly u command, and. back of the fair face fronting me. I read strength of character and a proud insistence long accustomed to control. It was not fear but disdain that darkened her gray eyes. Her manner begg.-d nothing it pictured dominant command, the attitude of cue who addresses a servant, expect ing implicit obedience. "I-ady Darlington." I began, stand ing directly belore Iter, and reverting to the use of English, so as to be certain of making my meaning suffi ciently clear, "whatever explanation I may make cannot be pleasant, but it shall be truthful. It is far better that you comprehend fully the situation we are in your own peril, as well as my responsibility." Her expression changed from ab- bUr,ary dfiance to an amazement not uatInSf'(1 b-v a sudden development of ieur as ner nanus graspea ine cnair back convulsively; but 1 went on steadily to the end. "I am not, as you naturally sup posed, a Chilean, but a native of North America. My name is Stephens. 1 was in Valparaiso under most un pleasant circumstances, seeking vainly to escape from the country, anil hounded by the secret police because of my connection lately with a revo lutionary movement along the Bolivian frontier. The merits of that affaii need not now be discussed, but I had become involved in it through certain business connections, and had at tained Valparaiso after much hard ship, seeking escape by sea. There I discovered every avenue closed against me. and was reduced to a des perate plight. I was in hiding from the governmental authorities when 1 risked almost certain discovery last evening. A little later after you left the hotel a man who I was led to be lieve represented the Peruvian gov ernment, approached me with a strange proposition, which, however, promised immediate release from my dangerous predicament, and, likewise, a suitable reward for the successful performance of a certain service. I am a sailor, and the particular duty required of me was to be performed upon the sea. I was asked to assume J the position of a Peruvian naval cap- j tain, incapacitated by suuuen illness, in the surprise and capture of a Chil ean war vessel, the steam yacht Es meralda, then supposed to be lying at anchor, poorly guarded, in the outer harbor on the government docks. For that purpose I was presented with a Peruvian naval commission." My glance wandered from the mo tionless woman fronting me in such white silence to Celeste, who had sunk back upon the bed, her blue eyes staring at me across the brass rail, ev idently experiencing difficulty in trans lating my rapid English speech. "I had enjoyed but little opportunity of examining the particular vessel we were thus employed to capture, as I dared not leave the hotel except after 1 nightfall," I continued, more slowly. 1 "Yet I knew her place of anchorage. J and that she was a steam yacht of j some 700 tons burden, schooner-rigged, w''J?k. a:ajL bi3V ABEL vA W-- a Robber, a Pirate!" with lines premising great speed. Oth erwise I relied entirely upon the knowledge of the officers under me. We boarded what I believed to be tlie Esmeralda scon after midnight, over came the small harbor watch with lit tle difficulty, captured the engine loom, and, by holding a gun at his ear. persuaded the engineer to operate his machinery in our service. Tlie very audacity of the attempt brought comparatively easy success. The main cabin had been secured by my orders when we first arrived aboard, aud 2 came below just now. after all danger f seemed far as em. to learn if any omcers were hidden away here. I had examined all the other staterooms. finding them empty, and at last opened this door in my quest. Not until I saw you did I in the slirfctest realize that we were on board the wrong vessel, nor that we were en gaged in anything except an honorable adenture of war." That the hasty details of my story both startled her ani improved her with its truth, was evident enough, yet her lips curled with contempt, and her eyes remained unbelieving. "How many men accompanied you?" "A crew of 20. with tw officers." "Peruvians. I presume?"' "No. madam." reluctaircly, "hotch potch dragged from the sevin seas." Her expressive face darkened, her finger3 clenching again nervously about the chairbact. "And you really expect me to be lieve, that preposterous tale! she burst forth, indignation shatring all ordinary bounds of speecn. "You must, indeed, think very highiy of my intelligence- You ?hy, you; arc a sea-robber, a pirate! " My cheeks flushed at the harsh words. I could feel the surge -tt blood, yet I met her gaze quietly. "E have told you the exact truth, Lady Darlington, as 1 promised." I re turned, seeking to speak calmliwith out any real hope that you would be lieve. Yet I want yen to try- It is all bad enough as it stands, without endeavoring to make it appear worse." She leaned slightly forward clearly impressed to some extent by tSe gravi ty of my manner. , "Then prove it." "How?" "By steaming directly bacfe to Vrtf para:?o aud delivering up this stolen, vessel to its lawful owners." If You Would Don't Annoy People by Comparisons That Are Humiliating. When you start in to say plain things to anybody be sure to use plain words and not Idioms. Never use fig ures of speech when rebuking others, for in time your helpful rebuke may be forgotten, but the tang of the biting figure will never be forgotten, and perhaps not forgiven. For ex ample, you might want to tell a con servative person he was not up to the times In some particular matter, but don't call him a fossil he would never forget it. There Is a good deal In a name. Never call a person a crank crank's a figure of speech. Simply say "You have an odd way of looking at things."

She disport her hanrts tightly, press ing them against her breast. "What do I care!" the contempt In her voice grown bitter. "You have done the evil, by your own confession; now you should pay the price. You rescued me once from insult, and T hold the remembrance of that act in your favor. Prove yourself worthy a woman's respect by making amends for this wrong. Take the Sea Queen back now, before It is forever too late, and all I can do. or that my husband can accomplish, shall be done to save you from punishment. Prove to me that your words are not false." I hesitated, doubt and suspicion rendering me totally incapable oPclear thinking before her insistent demand. Her face grew whiter as she marked my sitoncc. "So you ycu lied, then!" the cruel words faltered from between her lips almost unconsciously. "So, I spoke the truth." I answered, gripping myself sternly, "but 1 ques tion my power." "Your power? Why. you just In formed me you were in command." I advanced a step forward, my man ner respectful enough, yet she half shrank back from my approach and brought the protection of the chair be tween 113. "Perhaps I may never succeed in making you clearly comprehend my present position," I said, soberly, "yet I intend to try, because, in truth, I need your assistance as greatly as yoi need mine. Twenty minutes ago, Iidy Darlington, it was true I be lieved myself to ho in absolute com mand of this vessel. Xow I gravely suspect whether I may not be a mero puppet, helpless in the hands of oth ers. As I have already endeavored to explain, it was comparatively easy for me to mibtakc this yacht for the Es meralda. They are very much alike, and I had enjoyed no opportunity for closely observing either. But it is Im possible for me to conceive how the others of my party could have inno cently made such an error. What project they may have had In mind I cannot even guess, but I believe now the Sea Queen was deliberately cap tured, and that I have been decoyed into the leadcship of an act of piracy. If so. then I am only one man pitted against 20. What I may accomplish I have at present no mans of know ing.

"An" cu-ze whol ship zei.t was nc-one else to help us."' "As you say. Celeste, there Is no choice;" and Lady Darlington's gray eyes again sought mine reluctantly. "L sincerely desire a. repose complete confidence in you to believe you worthy. What is It you wish us to do?" "Merely to remain, where- you are. beyond the observation of others, until ;'l can ascertain the exact truth of our situation. So soon as I learn this. I shalL return with the information.

Have Friends eccentricity or worse. Picturesque language is only interesting when ap plied to things. People don't like it when applied personally. People don't like to be placed in a comical and spectacular light, and that's where picturesque language is apt to place them. Whatever a person's character istics may be don't call him a mule. or her a zany. The clearer the defini tion the deeper the resentment. Better not call people names, anyway it only arouses a lot of feeling which is slow to simmer down. Nothing an noys a person more than to be called some ridiculous name it doesn't seem to set well.
