CHAPTER Xlll-(Contlmied).
A MOMENT later the Btcward returned
to ay that Mr. Cnldwell was not In
his stateroom. "I cannot find htm, Mlsa
Strong-, and" he hesitated "I have
learned that his berth was not occupied
last night. I think I had better report
the matter to the captain."
"Most assuredly." exclalmod Miss
Strong. "I shall go with you to the cap
tain myself. It Is terrlblol I know that
something awful has happened. Mv pre
sentiments' wero not false, after all."
It was a very frightened young woman
and an excited steward who presented
themselves before the captain a few mo
ments later. He listened to their stories
In silence a look of concern marking his
expression as the Bteward assured him
that ho had sought for the missing pas
senger In every part of tho ship that a
passenger might expected to frequent.
"Arid you are sure, Miss Strong, that
you saw a body foil ovcrboad last night?"
he nsked
"There Is not the slightest douWt about
that," she answered. "I cannot say It
wbb a human body thoro was no outcry.
It might have been only what I thought
It was a bundle ot refuse. But If Mr.
Caldwell Is not found on board I shall
always bo positive that It was he whom
I saw fall past my port."
Tho captain ordered an Immediate and
thorough search of the entire ship from
stem to stem no nook or cranny was to
be overlooked Miss Strong remained in
his cabin, waiting the outcome of the
quest The captain asked her many ques
tions, but sho could tell him nothing
about the missing man other than what
she had herself seen during their brief ac
quaintance on shipboard For tho first
time she suddenly realized how very little
Indeed Mr. Caldwell had told her about
himself or his past life That he had been
born In Africa and educated In Paris was
about all she knew, and this meagre In
formation had been the result of her sur
prise that an Englishman should speak
English with such a marked French ac
cent "Did he ever speak of nnv enemies?"
asked the captain. "Never."
"Was he acquainted with any of the
other passengers?"
"Only as ho has been with me throut-h
the circumstance of casual meeting ns
fellow shipmates."
"Er was he. In your opinion, M!s
Strong, a man who drank to excess?"
"I do not know that he drank at all he
certainly had not been drinking up to
half an hour before I saw that body fall
overboard," she answered, "for I was
with him on the deck up to that time."
"It Is very strange," said the captain.
"Ho did not look to mo like a man who
was subject to fainting- spells, or anything
of that sort. And even had he been It Is
scarcely credible that ho should have
fallen completely over the rail had he
been taken with an attack while leaning
upon It he would rather have fallen In
side, upon the deck. If he Is not on
board. Miss Strong, ho was thrown over
boardand the fact that jou heard no
outcry would lead to the assumption that
he was dead before he left the ship's deck
murdered " The girl shuddered.
It was a fuul hour later that the first
officer returned to report the outcome of
the search.
"Mr. Caldwell Is not on board, sir," ho
saia
"1 fear thero Is something more serloua
than accident here, Mr. Brently," said
the captain. "I wish you would make a
personal and very careful examination of
Mr Caldwell's effects, to ascertain If
there Is any clew to a motive for either
suicide or murder sift tho thing to the
bottom "
"Aye, aye. alrl" responded Mr. Brently.
and he left to commence his Investigation
Hazel Strong was prostrated. For two
days she did not leave her cabin, and
when she finally ventured on the deck she
was very wan and white, with great, dark
Circles beneath her eyes Waking Or

saw that dark body dropping, swift and

deck following the tragedy. Monsieur
Thuran Joined her with many expressions
of kindly solicitude.
"Oh. but it is terrible. Miss strong." he
said "I cannot ifd my mind of it."
"Nor I." said the girl wearily "I feel
that he might have been saved bad t but
given the alarm."
"iou roust not reproach yourself, my
dear Miss Strong." urged Monsieur
Thuran "It Is In no way your fault.
Another would have done as you did.
Who would think because something felt
lato. the sea from the ship that It must

outcome have been different had you given

"Saprlalll but she would cause a sen
sation In St Petersburg." And ho would,
too. with the assistance of her Inher
itance. After Monsieur Thuran had squandered
n few million dollars, he discovered that
the vocation was entirely to his liking
that he would continue on down to Cape
Town, where ho suddenly decided that he
had pressing engagements that might de
tain him there for some time
Miss Strong had told Jilin that she and
her mother wero to visit tho latter'"
brother there they had not decided upon
tho duration of their slnv, and It would
probably run into months.
She was delighted when she found thnt
Monsieur Thuran was to be there also
n ,AT " ' 7SJSX& ly?J.?:.
tlnuo our acquaintance," sho sold. "You
must call upon mamma and mo as soon
as wo nro settled."
Monsieur Thuran was delighted at tho
prospect, nnd lost no. time In 'Baying so.
Mrs Strong wan not quite so favornbly
Impressed by him as her daughter.
"I do not know why I should distrust
him," sho said to Hazel one day ns they
wero discussing him. "Ho seems a per
fect gentleman In every respect, but
sometimes there Is something nbout his
oyes a fleeting expression which I cannot
describe, but when I seo It gles mo a
very uncanny feeling."
The girl laughed "You nro a silly dear,
mamma," sho sold.
"I supposo bo, but I am sorry that we
havo not poor Mr. Caldwell for company
Instead."
"And I, too," replied her daughter.
Monsieur Thuran became n frequent
visitor at tho home of Hnzel Strong's
uncle In Cape Town. His attentions wero
very marked, but they were so punctili
ously arranged to meet the girl's every
wish that sho camo to depend upon him
more nnd more. Did Bho or her mother
or a cousin require an escort was there
a little friendly service to be rendered, tho
genial and ubiquitous Monsieur Thuran
was always available. Her uncle and his
family grew to like him for his unfailing
courtesy nna willingness to be of servlco.
MonBlcur Thuran was becoming indispen
sable. At length, feeling tho moment pro
pitious, he proposed. Miss Strong was
startled. She did not know what to say.
"I had never thought that you cared
for mo In any such way," she told him.
"J'vo looked upon ou always as a very
dear friend. I shall not give you my
answer now. Forget that you havo asked
mo to be your wife. Let ua go on as wo
havo been then I can consider you from
an entirely different nnglo for a time. It
may be that I shall discover that my feel
ing for ou is moro than friendship. I
It was a very frightened young woman and an excited steward who
presented themselves before the captain.
certainly have not thought for a moment
that I loved you."
This arrangement was perfectly satis
factory to Monsieur Thuran. He deeply
regretted that he had been so hasty, but
he had lqved her for so a long time, and
so devotedly, that ho thought every one
must know it.
"From the first time that I saw you,
Hazel, I've loved you. I am willing to
wait, for I am certain that so great and
pure a love as mine will be rewarded. All
that I care about to know la that you do
not love another. Will you tell me?"
"I have never been In love In my life,"
she replied, and he was quite satisfied.
On the way home that night he purchased
a steam yacht and built a million dollar
villa on the Black Sea
The next day Hazel Strong enjoyed one
ot the happiest surprises of her life she
ran face to face upon Jane Porter aa she
was coming out of a Jeweler's shop.
"Why, Jane Porter!" she exclaimed.
"Where In the world did you drop from7
Why. I can't believe my own eyes,"
"Well, of all things!" cried tho equally
astonished Jane. "And here I have been
wasting whole reams of perfectly good
Imagination picturing you In Baltimore
the very Idea!" And she threw her arms
about her friend ones more and kissed
her a dozen times.
By the time mutual explanations had:
been made Hazel knew that Lord Tn
nlngton'a yapht had put In a Cape Town
for at least a week's stay and at the end
of that time was to continue on her voy
age this time up the West Coast and so
baok to England. "Where," concluded
Jane, "I am to be married "
"Then you are not marrUd yet?" asked
HaMd.
"Kot yt," replied Jane, aud then, quite
irrelevantly, "I wish England were a
million mil se item here "
VtolW were xhanged between the
yaeht ad IIomI's relative. Olfliwra

The next day It came. Mrs Strong,
Hazel, and Monsieur Thuran were Lord
Tennlngton's guests aboard his yacht
Mrn Strong had been telling them how
much she had enjoyed her visit nt Cape
Town, and thnt she regretted that a
letter Just received from her attorneys
In Baltimore had necessitated her cutting
her visit shorter than they had Intended
"When do you sail?" aBked Tennlngton.
"The first of the week, I think," she
replied
"Indeed?" exclaimed Monsieur Thuran
"I nm very fortunate. I, too, have found
that I must return at once, and now I
shall have the honor of accompanying
and serving ou."
"That Is nice of you, Monsieur Thu
that we shall be glad to place ourselves
ran," replied Mrs Strong "I am sure
under your protection." But in the bot
tom of her heart was the wish that they
might escape htm. Why, she could not
havo told.
"B Jove!" ejaculated Lord Tennlngton,
a moment later. "Bully Idea, by Jove!"
"Yes, Tennlngton, of course," ventured
Clayton; "It must bo a bully Idea If you
had It, but what tho deuco Is It? Coin
to steam to China via the South Pole?"
"Oh, I Bay now, Clayton," returned
Tennlngton, "you needn't bo bo rough on
a fellow just becnuso jou dldn t happen
to suggest this trip yourself you'Vo acted
a regular bounder ever slnco we sailed.
"No, sir," ho continued, "It's a bully
Idea, nnd you'll nil say so. It's to take
Mrs. Strong and Miss Strong, and
Thuran, too. If he'll come, as far as Eng
land with us on the yacht. Now, Isn't
that a corker?"
"Forglvo me, Tenny, old boy," cried
Clayton. "It certainly Is a corking Idea
I never should have suspected you of
It. You'ro qulto suro It's original, are
you 7"
"And we'll salt the first of the week,
or any other time that Biilts your con
venience, Mrs. Strong," concluded the
big-hearted Englishman, as though the
thing were all aranged except tho sailing
date.
"Mercy, Lord Tennlngton, you haven't
even given us an opportunity to thank
you, much less dccldo whether wo shall
be ablo to accept your generous Invita
tion," said Mrs. Strong.
"Why, of course you'll come," re
sponded Tennlngton. "We'll make- as
good tlmo ns any passenger boat, and
you'll bo fully ns comfortable; and,
anyway, wo all want you, nnd won't
tako no for an answer."
And so It wns BCttlcd that they should
sail tha following Monday.
Two days out the girls wero sitting
In Hazel's cabin, looking at somo prints
she had finished In Cape Town. They
represented all the pictures she had
taken since she had left America, and
the girls wero both engrossed In them,
Jane asking many questions, and Hazel
keeping up a perfect torrent of comment
and explanations of the various scenes
and people.
"And here," she said suddenly, "here's
a man you know Poor fellow, I have
ao often intended asking you about him.
but I have never been abla to think of
It when wo were together." She was
holding the little print bo that Jane did
not see the face of the man It portrayed
"His name was John Caldnelll," con
tinued Hazel. "Do you recall him?
Ho said that he met you In America. Ho
is an englishman "
"I do not recollect the name," replied
Jane. "Let me see tho picture "
"The poor fellow was lost overboard
on our trip down tho coast," sho Bald,
aa she handed the print to Jane
"Lost over-why. Hazel, Hazel, don't
tell me that ha Is dead drowned at sea!"
and before the astonished Mlsa Strong
could catch her Jane Porter had slipped
to the floor In a swoon
After Hazel had restored her chum to
conclousness, she sat looking at her for
a long time before either spoke.
"I did not know. Jane." said Hazel in
constrained voice, "that you knew Mr
Caldwell so intimMeJy that his death
could prove such a shook to you,"
"John Caldwell?" questioned Miss Por
ter "You dq not mean to tell me that
you do not know who this man was.
Hazel?"
"Why, yea, Jane; I know perfectly well

"Oh. Hazel, I wish I could believe It."
moaned the girl "I wish I could believe
It, but those features ore burned so deep
Into my raeroory and my heart that I
should recegpi them anywhere in the
world from among a thousand others, who
might appear identically U say one but

"What do you mean, Janer" cried
Hazel, now thoroughly alarsned "Who

mistaken, but now a hundred and one
little pieces of corroborative ovldence
occur to mo that meant nothing to me
while I thought ho was John Caldwell,
of London. Ho said that he had been
born In Africa, and educated In France."
"Yes, that would be true," murmured
Jane Porter dully.
"Tho flrBt officer who searched his lug
gage found nothing to Identify John
Caldwell, of London. Ptactlcally all his
belongings had been made or purchased

with 'J. C. T.' We thought that he was

"Tnrzan of tho Apes took tho name Jean
C. Tarzan," said Jane, In the same lifeless
monotone. "And he 1b dead! Oh, Hazel,
It Is horrible I He died all alone in this
terrible ocean! It Is unbelievable that
that biave heart ceased to beat that

forever! That ho who was the person

strength should bo prey of slimy, crawling

further, and with a little moan she burled
her head in her arms, and sank sobbing
to the floor.
For days Miss Porter was 111, and would
see no ono except Hazel and the faithful
Esmeralda. When at last she came on
deck ull were struck by tho sad change
that had taken placo In her. She was no
longer the alert, vivacious American
beauty who had charmed and delighted
all who came In contact with her. In
stead Bhe was a very quiet and sad little
girl with an expression of hopeless wlst
fulneas that none but Hazel Strong could
Interpol.
The entlro party strove their utmost to
cheer and amuse her, but all to no avail.
Occasionally the Jolly Lord Tennlngton
would wring a wan smile from her, but
for the most part sho sat with wide eyes
looking out across the- sea.
With Jane Porter's Illness one misfor
tune after -another seemed to attack tho
yacht. First an engine broke down, and
they drifted for two days while tem
porary repalra wero being made. Then
a squall struck them unaware, that car
ried overboard nearly everything above
deck that was portable. Later two of the
seamen fell to fighting In the forecastle,
with tha result that one of them was
badly wounded with a knife and the
other haiT to be put In Irons. Then, to
cap the climax, the mate fell overboard
at. night andwas drowned before help
oould reach htm The yacht cruised
about the epot for ten hours, but no
sign of the man was Been after he dis
appeared from the deck Into the sea.
IJvery member of tho crew and guests
was gloomy nnd dtpressed after these
series of misfortunes All were appre
hensive of worse to come, and this was
especially true of the seamen, who re
called all sorts of terrible omens and
warnings that had occurred during the
early part of the voyage, and which they
could now clearly translate Into the pre
cursors of some grim and terrible tragedy
to come.
Nor did the croakers have long to
wait. The second night after the
drowning of tha mate the little yacht
was suddenly racked from stem to
stern. About 1 o'clock In tho morning
there was a terrific Impact that threw
the slumbering guests and crew from
berth and bunk 4 mighty shudder ran
through the frail craft, sho lay far oyer
to starboard; the engines stopped. For a
moment she hung there with her decks
at an angle of degrees then; with a
sullen, rending sound, she slipped back
Into the sea and righted.
(CONTINUED MONDAY.)

"What's doing tonight?" asked Wade.
"It's rather unusual to havo to bring

"Dinner at tho Sutclirta's fashionable

After his greeting to Mrs. Avery,- Wade

thing he did was to, open his suitcase
that his evening clothes might not bo un

"Great Scottt" he ejaculated, "I'vo
picked up the wrong suitcase! Oh, I say,
what a stunning frock!"
Wado lifted out a gown of exquisite
yellow chiffon. His heart tripped up eev
eral beats when He carefully took out the
next garments. They were of foamy
white and all drawn with creamy satin
ribbons. It seemed to Wade that so many
fluffy bows wero quite unnecessary yet
Wado drew In a deep breath of some del

Next, there waa a pair of yellow sllrj-

wreath of email yellow buds and a creamy
pearl peeped fnorn the centre of each.
"What a regular beauty you must be!"
Wado sank on the couch beside the fem
inine apparel and felt a peculiar Inti
macy with tho owner of the suitcase.
"I could kick myself for a blind idiot for

f of the situation was trembling Into miflh.
Finally she laughed
"All right, Alice make ft scareerbw of
me If you want to I'll do as you say.
and If I don't make an Impression on
KOrtie mart It won't bo your fault
Allco went off Bttilllngly to get her
vanin Hrss nnd iliDDflrfl for her guest
Ruby picked up an Immaculate pair of
dress trousers "Humph! You nro nice
and big, anyway I'm awfully sorry I
was so perfectly silly as to tako up the
wrong BUitcaso. I rather like your pearl
studs' She picked up ft largo box of
candy "I've a good notion to givo this
to Allco. xno one in i'iy ww w" -exactly
tho same, and you could give
mine to your hostess "
A halt hour later tho guests at Mrs.
Sutcllffo's, welt bred though Ihey Were,
looked Up In amazement as Mrs Hobbes
and her guest were announced. They had
had a similar shock when Billy Avory
entered with John Wado.
The latter looked up when Ruby Wells
entered, and was being Introduced.
"Great Scottl What excruciating tnsto!"
I10 whispered to Billy Avery. "And look
at the hang of tho drcss-lt hikes up In
front "
"Rather tho same effect aa your vest,
Isn't It?" covertly suggested Avery.
"And It's pinned in at tho waist, I
know " went on Wade, woxlng Into a
white hent. "Is this the peach you spoko
of?"
"Must be " Even Avery was taken
aback. "Shi Here she Is."
"Hollo, Billy!" Mrs. Hobbca shook
hands with Avery. Tho Introductions
took placo and Wado made room for
Ruby Wells at his side. Ho couldn't help
himself from falling Into tho snaro of
her charm. It would have been thero
If her gown had been yellow, red nnd
green mixed.
"I understand we aro to bo dinner part
ners," she said with a twinkle gleaming
from the deep gray of hor eyes.
Sho cast n qul7zlcnl glance at tha length
of arm nnd hand projecting below Wade's
coat sleovc. Another glance traveled
over the shoulders which strove to pro
claim their breadth notwithstanding tho
meager proportions of tho coat.
Sho looked up again and their eyes
met Both strove to quell tho laughter,
but It was too much. They laughed until
every one In tho 'room cast startled
glances In their direction.
"What aro you launhlnc at?" asked
Ruby when John Wado's eyes had
ceased their mockery and her own had
grown questioning.
"To be frank, Miss Wells," said Wado,
"I laughed because your eyes made mo,
at my own predicament and because
well, because you aro so hopelessly a
well, out of harmony with tho clothes you
have on."
Ruby bit her lips. Ho was so serious
and apologetic.
"If I am out of harmony you must bo
out of tunc If I may have tho Impertin
ence to suggest It a little sugar might
coax that coat of yours to meet."
"That's rlght, laugh at a fellow be
cause he has had tho misfortune to pick
up tho wrong suitcase"
"Sultcaso!" cried Ruby. "Aro you tho
poor man whose bag I ran off with?"
"I beg your pardon I ran off with
yours?"
"Oh, very well aa tho suit fits"
"But It doesn't!"
They laughed again.
"And In my perfectly good maize-colored
gown"
"Wo'l, I wouldn't havo said the thlnca
wero yellow "
He stopped confused. The slow color
mounted In Ruby's cheoks. Try as he
mlglit, Wado could not turn his eyes from
the exquisite beauty.
"I had pictured Just you In that
maize-colored gown," said Wado.
"And perhaps," said Ruby, "I had
pictured just you In that evening suit"
Dinner was announced. Rubjr and Wade
arose and she put her hand on hla arm.
Townrd the end of dinner Ruby leaned
near Wade and whispered: "I refuse ab
solutely to go to that dance tonight In
this frock "
"So do I In these clothes. But listen.
Immediately after dinner I will order" a
carriage .and you and I will make a hasty
exit I will explain the circumstances to
Mrs. Sutcliffe."
"What are you going to explain?"
asked Ruby, with wide-open eyes.
"That you and j; are going to make
ourselves presentable before the dance "
Two hours later Wade strolled Impa
tiently about the drawing room at the
Hobbes home. Ho straightened an al
ready Immaculate set tie and glanced at
the perfect fit of his own evening clothes.
Presently ha heard a soft little Bwlsh
on the upper landing of the stairs, and he
went to tho hall to meet Ruby Wells
ma eyes in up as Bne come down the
stairs. Tho soft gown clung In graceful
folds and her glorious Titian hair was
crowned by a wreath of buds from which
the pearls peeped.
Ho took her hand as she came to tha
last step. "I cannot tell you how beau
tiful you are," he said, while a slight
tremor shook his voice, "
Ruby was on a level with him now and
her large gray eyes lingered shyly on his
face. Tho unspeakable answer was In
her eyes.

Police Court Chronicles
Gallantry Is one of the big assets of
Fred Donnelly A lady In distress Is
always greeted with the helping hand
from Fred. It Is true that ho often has
personal burdens, which we will not speak
of here, for It is none of our business
and Is decidedly Irrelevant to the matter
at hand Fred was picking his way with
soma difficulty along Cast Norrls street
when ho stopped and gasped Approach
ing him In a direct course wns a moving
Iceberg.
It looked like that until It was within
a fow feet ot tho bewildered Donnelly,
Then ho saw that It was a washwoman
with a basket of white clothes on her
head. Before her was a puddle of water.
Like Sir Walter Raleigh, the gallant
knight of old, Donnelly picked up a board
which wns close by and dropped It over
tho puddlo that tho maiden of uncertain
girth might navigate safely with her
burden.
But In dropping the board he miscalcu
lated. It didn't quite span the puddle and
thero was a splash of muddy water, which
showered fountaln-llko over her clothes
and put all her efforts at thd washtub to
naught And then, as is usual with Don
nelly, he was misunderstood. Tho woman
encircled his neck nnd boro him to tho
surface of the puddle. Then sho beat him
with her fists and the water-soaked
clothes. Tho man's" shouts for help
brought Policeman Bob Neville. It re
quired much coaxing by tho cop to make
me woman cease Hostilities.
"It's a fino beeznlss oxtstocklxachjkyl-
luiinyjumyetrgB-ach," Bho said. But as
neither Bob nor Donnelly could under
stand her, tho cop took his prisoner to the
cimi uirara avenue Btatlon.
Magistrate Stevenson expressed genuine
regret when ho heard of Donnelly's mar
tyrdom. But as he had nowhero to go
tho Judgo sent him for a month's vacation
