And .Mrs. Van Dr.ytt n broutrht her hand sharply down on to her knee in emphatic indorsement of her state­ment and smihd f-aressinurly upon the pleasant landscape that lay before her.

.la.-U beamed sympathetical ly a n d w a s about to express further senti­ments calculated to arouse emotion in the transatlantic breast when the •roup w a s increased by the arrival of Mr. Van I>nyfen and the t w o girls. With Judge- in their company.

Evleeti was talking1 with her nsual animation to Judge, in whose honest breast there w a s n® small regret at the prospect of being deprived in so short a time of her »<Veef society, l i e "Was the nn:st philosophical of sen captains. He thought that be had long agro at­tuned his mind fo the formation of phasanf friendships whiclr grew with exotic rapidity on board ship and then. vanished forever out of his l ife aa evanescent as the odor of the violet— "the perfume and snppliance o f a rno-nunt. no more, indeed'." lie quoted to tiiniself grimly iridcr his I renth.

He had long since assured himself that as his life was so inevitably a sure succession of meetings and part­ings he must fake such meetings and partings a* lightly as a healthy man fakes waking and sleeping. Yet here he was, for a!f his sea stoicism, witfc an odd sense o f something akin: to wretchedness- hanging over bin* liberal! ifgly shadow.

"If you knew how ill all's here about nay heart." lie said to h imself sadly and then went on bitterly, " t i » such a kind of gaingiving as might perhaps trouble a woman."'

Judge's weakness w a s for Shake­speare. He had little t ime tor reading, and he had made tip h i s mind years earlier that Shakespeare w a s the best of a II reading, so fie read little e l se and knew him well nigh l»y heart a n d talk­ed to himself in citat ions from t o * be­loved author.

I t 'o . l i . Ii.inltig on her father's arm, •nas looking [.ale. and she glanced anx-lo'isly about the deck in search of mie who w as not present. Jack Man-is talked to her, and she answered ab­sently, for she w a s thinking of Flavian and \\..ii.lot iug why he w as not there to m'i i'i her. She felt MT.V pr-'inl a ml happy, but she 11:11 eager fo meet him HiT-i"tt. and liis al'senee w.is not like a | o \ , t'- liiipali.'i'.-e.

Jitdce, too, i \ i th apprei i.uion quick­ened I'efhaps by his own mood, noted J'l.n i.-ui's aitsenee and commented on It.

"Whin- is Mr. TlopeV" he aslci d, and tie n n i-lifil he hadn't, for he saw the f.iiiit t'n-ii nil Ithoda's cheek and quite mii-understood it.

"They have not been able to airreo," he said to himself, " l ie will not ap­pear t,:i she has gone on shore. Poor fellow.' This has been an unlucky cruise fur some of us." And Judge sti­fled a most unseamanlike sigh.

l i e wished he had not spoken, but it w a s too late, for Jack Harris and Mrs. Tan lmytci i took the interrogation up and pin-sued it.

"I wonder he is not Iu»tv." said Jack, "to bi'iathe the beauty of the morning and hail the land of freedom. Every one else is on deck," Jack continued. glancing over the thronged scene, "even our grave representative of Teu­tonic cult tire." And he waved his hand toward the poop, where the Cierman professor w a s perched, puffing his huge pipe complacently.

The professor saw the gesture and apparently took it at once as a saluta­tion or summons, for he climbed down from his post and came toward the group, whom he saluted comprehen­sively.

Jack repeated to the newcomer h i s surprise at Flavian's tardiness, and the professor shared in it. It really w a s curious, for the Atlantis w a s n o w almost alongside the dock, and a steam fug from the shore w a s making i t s snorting and pulling way toward the vessel.

Probably he had overslept himself, the professor suggested, and he hinted) that i t would be only civil to w a k e him: up and let him know that the s h i p had reached her destination.

"He must be a sound sleeper," sa id Judge, laughing, "if he can command his slumbers through all the row that Is now go ing on,"

H e admitted; however, that i t might fie well to w a k e htm a n d ta lked o f sanding the steward, but Jack Harris volunteered to go himself aadl prtawtpt ly disappeared down stair*.

t f e ttad nor been gone a t o m tnaw • f ew seconds when he appeared 01* t h e deck again, staggering like a d r n o k e s man, his face whi te With terror and his outstretched band* trembling pain­fully.

H e rushed wildly up- to the group h e bad just quitted and cried hoarsely aa h e reeled on to a seat: "Dead, -Hcmdl My God, he's dead.* Murdered!*'

l-'or a moment those w h o heard bin* gazed a t each other with pale faces , an J- from all parts of the deck people burrted to where they were standing,

•then a woman's voice broke t h e a* lence with a terrible cry o f pain, a n d fch.,d.i darted from those about her and rushed swif t ly d o w n below,

instantly Judge w a s *tter her, b a t even h i s practiced f^tt w e r r no* matcb for her maddened speed, and be on ly came up w i t h her a t t h e open door o f Flavian's cabin.

There she stood for one aaomentv looking in, and then, with n low groan, dropped f s a helpfeaa heap nt the foot of the bed,

Jndge„ Just behind her, saw her fall and stooped to lift her. Behind b in a a excited throng filled the saloon and choked the entrance to the cabin. Those in front saw what bad happened and shuddered with fear.

On the bed lay Flavian, dead. The body was on ft* back in aa attl-

tnde of still, nntroobfcd repose, the arms stretched tranquilly down oat-siJe the coverlet. The handle of a daaj-ger stock out of bis breast jast above the heart, and * Waekened stream of blood ran down from the efeaa stab fa the nightshirt and stiffened Knea totaa ebill desb beneath,

Tbe eyes were starfaa; opea aad aa-ward fn tbe fixed regard of dfsnofa-tfcm. On tbe cheek* and eWn the dark hairs of the beard, a* yet onsbaved, bad grown since death and contrasted horribly in their bias shadow with the livid pallor of the face.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

The Power •#' W I B I W Art is at bottom only a creation of

the spectator's imagination. A picture, a strain of music, would be nothing; but color and noise were not their ef­fect to stir our imagination, which does the rest. A ruin carefully restored and therefore no longer appealing to the imagination might as well not be. Wo­man likewise would he bat a con­course of atoms unless by ber imitative genius and her power of conveying im­pressions she touched our imagination and suggested to it the sense of a larger life. Imagination is, s» to Apeak, * peptone, assisting the mind'* digestJoa and furthering the assimilation af IE* food. Women minister to our tion, assisting than toward oar tion of life.—ILn Claviere la "The Jtrt • f Life."
