She hesitated, her hands clasped

forced her lips to reply, as though thus
seeking the quickest way of clarifying
the s; urn Ion.

"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,

kindly enlighten me as to the cause

and your presence on board the

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

"I-ady Darlington." I began, stand

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."

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,

erwise I relied entirely upon the
knowledge of the officers under me.
We boarded what I believed to be tlie

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

comparatively easy success. The main

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

burst forth, indignation shatring all
ordinary bounds of speecn. "You
must, indeed, think very highiy of my
intelligence- You ?hy, you; arc a

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

"Then prove it."
"How?"
"By steaming directly bacfe to Vrtf

would be?"
She disport her hanrts tightly, press

done the evil, by your own confession;

Her face grew whiter as she marked

"Your power? Why. you just In

I advanced a step forward, my man

shrank back from my approach and
brought the protection of the chair be

"Perhaps I may never succeed in
