He entered the c.-ib-n and discovered the lCnslisli woman hskI her snaid. Stepliens quickly learned the wrong vessel had Jeen captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and snaid being aboard. He explained the situation to her lady ship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid liare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarc tic circle. Tuttle cvpl.-iincd that on a former voyage he had learned that the honna Isabel was lost in 17T.3. He hail found it frozen in a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens t indented to be the captain of the expedition. He told I-adV Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, but expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel in the fog. Stephens attempted to communicate. This caused a tierce struggle and he was overcome. Tuttle finally squaring the sit uation. Then tin Sea Queen headed south again. I'nder Tuttle's guidance the v-s-nel made progress toward Its goal. 1 Nova, tlie mate, told Stephens that he believed Tut lie. now acting as skipper. Insane because of his ipieer actions. Stepliens was avakened by crashing of glass lie saw Tuttle in the grip of a spasm of religious mania and overcame him. Tlie sailor upon regaining his senses was taken ill. Tuttle committed suicide by shooting. Upon vote of the crew Stephens assumed the leadership ami the men decided to continue tlie treasure hunt, the Islands being supposed to be only VftQ miles distant. Tuttle was burled In the sea.

Iuly Darlington thanked him. Tlie Sea Queen Marted northward. She was wrecked in a fog. Stepliens. lie Nova. Lady Darlington and her snaid being amosig those to set out In a life boat. Ten were rescued. Stephens saw only one chance in a thou sand for life. Lady Darlington confessed her love to Stephens and lie did likewise. Lady Darlington told her life story: how she had been bartered for a title, her yearning for absent love. She revealed herself as the school chusn of Stepliens" sister. She expressed a wish to die in tlie sea rather than face her former friends nnd go back to the old life. A ship was sighted. Tlie craft proved to be a derelict. They hoarded her. She was frozen tight with hundreds of years of ice. The ves sel was the Donna" Isabel. lost in 17".:. l:K years previous. The frozen bodies of the former crew were removed. They read the log of the Isabel, which told how the Spasiiards had died from cold, one by one. I-ady I Mrlingtntl sang to prevent tho ssion from becoming snoody. The crew comsnenced the hunt for treasure. They found the Iron chest, said to contain a part of 3.0'.0oi) pesos, firmly imbedded in e. Lady Darlington expressed the Iielief that it would never benefit tlie men. for she said the Donna Isabel would never reach port. Tlie snen got a lust for gold. Stepliens quelled it by whipping one. Tlie Donna Isabel showed indications of sink ing. They prepared to depart with what treasure bad been found. The pe.xt morn ing they departed. Stephens went back to try to rescue Cnle. a gold-crazed negro, who was hunting treasure in the hold. Stephens plunged into the icy sea a tno nient before the Donna Isabel sank. His snates rescued him. the negro being lost. Kxposure made siearly everyone but Lady Darlington and Stephens Insane. Ib-r love for him kept him buoyed up through tlie terrible days and slights at sea isi the open boat. One sailor jumped overboard, his pockets laden with ' gold. Sanchez broke his leg. Stephens' mind became blank. Two days later tiny were res cued by a steamer. 1'or three days Stepliens hovered between life and death. Aroused to consciousness and finally health. CHAPTER XXX. Continued. "What vessel is this?" "The El Ciil, Valparaiso to Hucnos Ay res a coast-trailer." "And the others? Do they live?" "All but Sanchez; he died the night after our rescue. Kelly is half crazed yet. but they think he will get over it. l)e Nova was very badly frozen, but Celeste was out on deck yesterday." 1 lay there looking at her. striving valiantly to put all these horrors away, and to face the present and the future. My handclasp tightened, for I could no longer keep back the one j question which trembled on my lips. "Hut you. Doris, you! Do you still mean what you said yonder?

"Doris," I managed to whisper at last, "whatever you believe to be right I will think right also. Only let me be alone for a little while just a little while, until I can fight this out and corquer." She lifted her head, her hand on my hair, her gray eyes looking frankly into mine. "I I thank you. Jack," she smiled tremblingly. The next moment I was alone. While I was sitting up and partially dressed that evening, Marsden, the chief mate, came in and told me brief ly the story of our rescue. "Wo were considerably to the west of our course." he said, gravely, "be cause we had met headwinds and a heavy sea all the way down the coast. It was just at daybreak when we sighted your boat in longitude 7S de grees west and latitude 53 degrees, 17 minutes south. I've been knocking about at sea for 20 years, Mr. Ste phens, but I never saw a mere pitiful sight than that longboat presented when we got up alongside. The jib held, but the mainsail was in tatters, and for a minute or two I didn't think there was a living soul aboard. There was a man forward lashed down with ropes, dead; a man and a woman were wrapped up in blankets amidships, leaning against each other, their eyes closed. Close up to the stern another woman was lying with her arms about your neck and hiding your face." "Doris, with her arms about me!" I thought. How well I knew the desper ation that could lead her to the em brace she had ever refused me! .Mars den went on: "A big fellow held to the tiller as if he was froze there, but he'd dropped down until his head hung dangling as tho boat rocked. There wasn't one of them took any notice of us until we were fairly alongside. Then this big sailor lifted his head and stared dull eyed like he thought he saw a vision, and when I spoke to him the woman that had her arms about you stag gered to her knees and began to cry. Good Lord, sir, but it made my heart ache, and I never saw so much misery in any human face before. Well, we fell to. and got you all on the El Cid, hoisted the whole outfit over the rail, and. barring the- dead man, I reckon you're all good for a spell of life yet." "They told you our story?" "Yes most of it, anyway; and I understand all right what it was did you up so. It wasn't hunger or cold, but just the loneliness an' strain." 1 looked away from him, out through the open port at the gray vista of sea. "That was it. Mr. Marsden." I said, my voice shaking to the memory of it. "It was the hell of the great ocean ! it broke our hearts." As the El Cid sped on her way up tho Patagonian coast my strength came rapidly back, and I soon found my way on deck, where, wrapped ascainst the chill of the wind, I passed much time talking with Doris, seeing Both Know." time wiz Mons. De Nova! he talk nice, he make love nice but It is all over now." "You mean you are going back to Europe?" She shrugged her shoulders, her teeth gleaming. "Oui, monsieur; I go wiz madam to London, to Paree; zare I have plaislr." "Out De Nova? How does he take it?" "Pah! he get over It; I know ze sailor. See, monsieur; w'at I tell you?" I glanced aft In the direction she pointed. Within the companion stood the debonair mate, his little black mustaches curled jauntily upward, his teeth merrily glistening, as he smiled down upon a rosy-cheeked damsel, whom I recognized as tlie stewardess. My companion patted her little foot on the deck. "Pah did I not tell you, monsieur? I know ze sailor." She swept away with the swift movement of a bird, and I turned my face about to perceive Marsden stand ing silently beside me. He drew up a deck chair and sat down at my side. His grave face and manner led me to speak first. "I have been wondering," I said, slowly, "whether you intend to report us as soon as you make land. No doubt you heard the story of the Sea Queen at Valparaiso, and have already guessed us to be the survivors of the crew of that yacht." "Why, yes." stroking his beard; "we have no doubt as to that. We know little of the affair of the Sea Queen beyond what your man Kelly has told us, as we were up the north coast at NOT THE SPEAKER'S PROVINCE Orator to Follow Was Proper Person to Comply with Request of Enthusiast. Preachers of all denominations oc cupied chairs upon the platform. They were giving their voices and influence to the overthrow of a political boss. The Presbyterian clergyman had the floor and most vigorously attacked the enemy. He delivered some fierce, tell ing thrusts, and the audience was with him. The boss received some cruel jabs. "That's right, soak- htm!" encour aged a man with a stentorian voice who had standing room in the rear. As the clergyman warmed up to his I subject the interrupting "soak him!" came from the rear with greater pow er and frequency. The speaker paused. He was not Irritated, but gently threw the audi ence into a good-natured hysteria by saying: "The Intentions of the gentleman in the rear are good, but wholly inop portune and ill advised. If he'll kind ly reserve his comments for the next speaker. Brother Herrlck of the Bap tist church, he'll be accommodated, no doubt" The Hour Glass. Instead of being obsolete and sim ply an interesting re:ic, the hour glass in various forms is a twentieth cen tury necessity. A machinist author ity points out that for such purposes as timing, hardening and tempering heats in twist drill manufacture, where second or minutes must be gauged accurately, nothing serves like the hour glass with the right amount of sand. Accuracy to fractions of a second can be had much more easily than by watching the hands of a watch. the time. However. I do not think there will be anything gained by re porting your rescue immediately, for no one can care particularly about your arrest except possibly a British officer or such. The Chileans are stiK busy with their war, and the man who owned the yacht being dead " "You you mean Lord Darling ton?" "Yes; that is what came here to tell you about, I have been waiting until you were strong enough to hear the story. I thought you were the one who ought to tell her." He paused doubtfully. "I understand she is Lady Darlington?" "Yes." I answered, my voice trem bling in my eagerness to comprehend fully. "But are you sure her husband is dead?" "Regarding that fact there ia no possible doubt, Mr. Stephens. We were in port at Valparaiso barely three hours, but long enough to hear a brief account of the affair. It seems Lord Darlington had in some way quarreled with or insulted a Chilean naval officer. This officer being on duty in the grounds of the presidente the night of the declaration of war, the two met again and renewed their quarrel. The officer was drunk and abusive, and his lordship drew a re volver. They were separated at that time by the guard, but an hour later the Englishman was found beside the fountain of the inner court dead from a knife-thrust In his back. His mur derer disappeared instantly and most mysteriously." "My God!" I exclaimed, dazed with the information. "It must have been I Sanchez!" "It must have been Sanchez," Mars den repeated, soberly. "He was flee ing from the crime when he ran into your party. It was his own haunting conscience that put the idea of the ghosts Kelly tells about inlo his head. You will tell her the story?" "Yes," I said, not venturing to look into his face, realizing that he under stood. I sat there, it seemed for hours, en deavoring to muster up courage for my task as I watched, far in the dis tance, the darkening outlines of Cape Flores. At last I went slowly down the companionway into the cabin. Slowly and falteringly at first, but gaining control of my voice as I pro ceeded, I told her all, marking the pallor of her cheek, the horror in her eyes. For another age I sat silent, gazing across the deserted cabin out through an open port, afraid to dis turb the motionless woman beside me. Finally my fingers, almost uncon sciously, crept across the rail of the settee until they touched her own. "Doris," I whispered, pleadingly, confused by her silence, "is it possible that you already knew this?" She did not raise her bowed head, but I felt the soft pressure of her hand. "Yes. Jack. I I knew," she ac knowledged, doubtfully. "Sanchez told me in the boat when he felt himself to be dying. It was then I came back and took you in my arms. But I couldn't tell you I could not tell you. I felt that if we were saved you must learn it from other lips than mine." "But now we both know." She lifted her eyes suddenly, eyes misty with tears, and I realized the truth forever. TOUCHES THEIR TENDER SPOT. Most Men Have Weakness for Being Photographed on Horseback, Says Observant Photographer. A young man went out with a cam era one morning not long ago and took seven snap shots of early morn ing horseback riders. He sent proofs of the pictures that turned out well to the men who were photographed and every one of the men sent him an order to finish up a few of the pic tures. "Of course they did," said a more experienced amateur photographer when he heard about it. "A man will j always buy a picture of himself on a horse unless he's an unusually poor rider and looks bad on a horse. No matter how modest a man is. you catch him at the one time when you may appeal to his vanity, when he's mounted on a good riding horse." Told by the Features. Men who succeed in commerce have alert faces, but no particular features. Clergymen who go up the ladder of preferment have faces that tell of self-repression tight lips, eyes which look straight ahead. Artists, on the other hand, have eyes which are all over the place and small, well formed chins. Politicians who succeed by their influence over men iave al ways prominent noses. -s Defined.

''(I (u uUv Prohibitionists Put Up Ticket. The prohibition party which it was supposed would not put up a state ticket this fall in consideration of the scrap in tho two old parties over county option, is now in the race with nominees for governor, lieutenant governor nnd state treasurer. George I. Wright of Otoe county filed for gov ernor and Samuel Lichty of Falls City filed as a candidate for lieutenant gov ernor and Albert Fitch of Central City for state treasurer. Several days ago T. M. Birmingham of Pender filed as a prohibition candidate for United State senator. Later he presented pe titions from twenty-five republicans and twenty-five populists so his name will go on three tickets as a candidate for the place that Hitchcock and Met calfe are striving for. John D. Stod dard of Republican City has filed as a prohibition candidate in the Fifth dis trict It has been customary for the pro hibitionists to have a full state ticket in the field, but this year it was gen erally thought the party would stay oat of the fight in order not to em barrass candidates of either of the old parties who may stand for county option. The flliing of prohibition can didates is considered proof that the men who filed in the name of the par ty do not propose to wait on any of the old parties to take a stand on county option. :- Raising the Dues. Raising the scale of dues paid by members was the means adopted by the Nebraska postmasters' association at Lincoln last week to tike care of & threatened 1200 deficit in its treas ury. Officers of the association laid before the convention at its final ses sion the fact that expenses had been bo heavy as to make necessary some provision for increasing the income In future. The method proposed for do ing this was to abolish the old flat rate of $1 annual dues for all postmas ters of whatever grade, with 50 cents added for initiation fee. and substi tute a sliding scale. After a lengthy discussion the dues were fixed as fol lows: For postmasters of first class offices, $10; second class. $5; third class, $2; fourth class, 1. r Ogallala to Have Depot. Edson Rich, attorney for the Union Pacific Railroad company, met Mayor Harris of Ogallala and Mr. Holloway of that town, the compainant in a de pot case, and together with the mem bers of the railway commission a stip ulation has been agreed upon. The complaint asks that a new depot be built at Ogallala. The railroad at torney agreed to recommend an appro priation for a new depot, the amount to be incorporated in the company's budget for 1911, and to file plans for the proposed building with the com mission by July 1. 1911. If the rail road officials do not provide funds for the building It is agreed that the rail way commission shall order the com pany to build. Will Exhibit a Battleship. The naval department will exhibit A 930.000 model battleship at the Ne braska state fair, according to ad vices received from the department of Captain Clark. The model will bo Df the Nebraska type and will be su perior to the exhibit which the navy bad last year. The recruiting officer built a wooden model for the booth last fall and the exhibit attracted gen eral attention on the grounds. The department distributes souvenirs to visitors illustrating the service. Lieu tenant Commander Wettingel of Om aha has assurred Captain Clark that the costly model would be sent here in plenty of time. I Big Semaphore Plant. One of the largest semaphore plants in the entire west is now being built in the Burlington yards. It will be a 120-Iever machine, boused In a large brick building protecting Burlington yard tracks and the Union Pacific crossing. It will require about three months to complete the plant and when done it will cost between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. City of the First Class. North Platte, according to the cen sus recently taken under the supervi sion of the mayor and the city council is now a city of the first class, having a population of 5.146. A proclamation naming North Platte as a city of the first class will be Issued within a day or so from the governor's office. State Food Commissioner S. L. Mains has notified the National Bis cuit company that after August 1 its customers in Nebraska must obey the law. Visit the Havelock Shops. Delegates to the postmasters' con vention paid a visit to the Havelock shops of the Burlington. They were escorted through the big plant by of ficials of the Burlington. Mayor Hinkle. Postmaster A. A. Hayers and Dther Havfilock officials. Many of the visiting delegates at tended the reception given by the Commercial club at the city auditor ium. They were made to feci that the people of Lincoln enjoy their com ing and would like to see them come again. According to a bulletin Issued by iabor Commissioner Maupin. between January 1 and December 21 of 1009. Nebraska flour mills shipped by rail the enormous quantity of 240.000.000 .rounds of flour. This, of course, does not include the flour consumed at the point or milling. The amount shipped represents three and one-half fifty oound sacks for each man. woman and :hild In the state.

Hopeless Cases. "Say," remarks the landlord of the Village hotel to the traveling evan gelist who has stopped with him foi two weeks, "you might try a little mis sionary work on the crowd that boards with me." "Alas, my friend," replies the evan gelist, with the memory of the non breakable biscuits still hot within him, "alas, my friend, these poor souls have lived at your hotel so long that nothing I can say about the hereafter can have any terrors for them." What Bothered Him. "Silas." said the grocer, "you're been keepln' company with Sary Ann Green for nigh on to fifteen years, haven't you?" "Sixteen years come next hay har vest." Silas explained.

Soon every body was singing "turn te te te turn," as is usual, except one man who lust ily sang every word of the song to the end. Later it was learned that he was a foreigner. A Prior Engagement.
