to be t,e Ksmeralda. through strategy.
Capt. Stephens gave directions for the de-
fiarture ,.: the craft. 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

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

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

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.

The red blood Hooded the pale

"But Now We
I continued 1o gaze at her my heart
throbbed with a love which became
sacrifice.
"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

The Hour Glass.

ity points out that for such purposes
as timing, hardening and tempering
heats in twist drill manufacture,

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.

"Father." sid the minister's little
daughter, "the paper says y.iu 'offi

ditional garb of the clergy.' What

"'Traditional,' my dear," answered

cheap suit of hlack with a sigh, "re

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

the old parties to take a stand on

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;

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.
"Well, that's a good leng while.
Seems to me a courtship like that,
had ought to end pretty soon."
"I've often thought so, but some way
I never can get up tha courage to"
"To propose? Why, it's t-asy as fall
in' off a log."
"Not to propose to stop goln with
her."
He Knew It.
The patriotic crowd, being enthused
by the exercises, began singing the
"Star Spangled Banner." 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.
"Miss Madoogus said," stated the
maid, "that if any one called I was to
tell them she was engaged."
"Ah, yes," remarked Mr. Gathloo

to tell Miss Madoogus that 1 am here.
I am what she Is engaged to."
Her Real Effort.
"Yonder sits Millie Fazoo. Isn't she
beautiful?"
"Yes. but don't you think fche has a
very self-conscious pose, as If she
were trying to appear as though she
did not know she is beautiful?"
"On. no. That isn't it. She is above
such deceit. What she is trying to do
is to look as if she did not know other
peopie were talking about how pretty
she is."
Fears for the Future.
"Isn't it noble of the heroine to de
clare that she will marry the poor
hero, even if she has to live in dire
destitution the rest of her life?"
"Yes; but if that policy were car

many of us to come to the theater and

Scientific Treatment.

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cub.
"Oh how hard it was to part with
coffee, but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching; was such
that I finally brought myself to leave
it off.
"Then the question was, what should
we use for the morning drink? Tea
was worse for us than coffee; choco
late and cocoa were soon tired of;
milk was not liked very well, and hot
water we could not endure.
"About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never beea
without it since.
"We have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not
take milk, so we tried Postum and
found she liked It and it agreed wltb
her perfectly. She is today, and has
been, one of the healthiest babies la
tho State.
"I use about two-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar,
and put it into her bottle. If you could
have seen her eyes sparkle and hear
her say "good" today when I gave it
to her, you would believe me thai'
she likes It.
"If I was matron of an infants
home, every child would be raised os
Postum. Many of my friends say.
'You are looking so well!' I reply, v
am well: I drink Postum. I have nr
more trouble with constipation, an
know that I o my good health te
God and Postum.'
"I am writing this letter because 1
want to tell you how much good
Postum has done us, but if you knew
how I shrink from publicity, yon
would not publish this letter, at least
not over my name."
