noon nt 3:30 o'clock at Rehoboth Farm, the

Miss Edith Lindsay Walker, as maid ot
honor. There were no bridesmaids. Mr.
Ilray had Mr. Richard Warren as best
man, and his ushers wero Mr. Bolton
Corson, of Plymouth Meeting,- and Mr,
hotel "
The news flew fast through the settle
ment that It. M. S. Orient had returned
from her long search for the Sirdar. The
warship occupied her uiual anchorage, and
a boat was lowered to take oft the passen
gers. Lieutenant Playdon went ashore with
them. A feeling ot consideration for An
struther prevented any arrangements being
made for subsequent meetings. Onoe their
courteous duty was ended, the officers of
the Orient could not give hlra any further
social recognition.
lArd Ventnor was aware of this fact and
endeavored to turn It to advantage.
"By the way, Fltiroy," he called out to
the commander as he prepared to descend
the gangplank, "I want you, and any others
not detained by duty, to come and dine with
me tonight."
Captain Fltsroy answered blandly, "It Is
very good of you to atk us, but I fear 1
ennnot make any definite arrangements un
til I learn what orders are awaiting me
here."
"Oh. certainly. Come If you can, ch7"
"Yea; suppose we leave It at that."
It was a uollto but decided rebuff. It In
no way tended to sneeten Lord Ventnor'a
temper, which wns further exasperated
when he hurt his chin ngalnit one of Rob
ert's disreputable-looking tins, with Its ac
cumulation ot debrl
Tho boat swung off Into the tideway. Her
progress shoreward wns watched by a smalt
knot of people, mostly loungers and coolies.
Among them, however, were two persons
who had driven rapidly to the landing
placo when the arrhtil of the Orient was
reported. Oiif bore nil the distinguishing
mnrks of tho army officer of high rank,
but the other was unmistakably a globe
trotter. Producing a tremendous telescope, ho
vnlnly endeavored to balance It on tho
shoulder pt a native servant
"Can't you stand still, you blithering
Idiot T" he shouted, after futllo attempts to
focus the ndwinCIng boat, "or shall I stendy
you by a clout over the earT"
Ills companion, the army man, looked
through a pair of tleldgtassea. ,
"By Joo!" he cried. "I can seo Sir Ar
thur Denne. and a girl who looks like his
daughter There's that Infernal scamp,
Ventnor, too."
The big man brushed the servant out of
his way and brandished the telescope as
tnougn it were a bludgron.
"The dirty beggar I Ho drove my lad to
misery nnd death, yet he has come back
safe and sound Watt till I meet him.
Ill "
"Now, Anatruther! Remember your
promise. I will deal wllh Lord Ventnor.
My vengeance has first claim. What! By
tho Jumping Moses, I do believe Yes
it is. Anxlruthcrl Your nephew Is sitting
next to the girl 1"
The telescope fell on the stones with a
crash. The giant's rubicund face suddenly
blanched, He leaned on his friend for sup
port. "You are not mistaken," he almost
whimpered. "Look again, for God's sake,
man I Make sure before you speak. Tell
me!' Tell me'"
"Calm yourself, Anatruther. It Is Robert,
as sure as I'm alive. Don't you think I
know him, my poor dlugracod friend, whom
I, like all the rest, cast off In his hour of
trouble? But I had sonla excuse. There !
'There 1 I didn't mean that, old fellow.
Robert himself will be the last man to
blamo either ot us. Who could have aus
fleeted that two persons one ot them, God
help me I my wife would concoct such a
hellish plot!"
The boat glided gracefully alongside the
steps of the quay, and Playdon sprang
ashore to help Iris to alight. What hap
pened afterward can best be told In his
own words, as he retailed tho story to an
appreciative audience In the wardroom.
"Wo had just landed,'; he said, "and
some of the crew wero pushing tho coolies
out of the way, when two men Jumped
down the steps and a most fiendish row
sprang up. That Is, there was no dlsputo
or wrangling, but ono chap, who. It turned
out, was Colonel Costobell, grabbed Vent
nor by the shirt front and threatened to
smash his face In 'If 1m didn't listen then
nnd there to what he hud to say. I really
thought about interfering, until I heara
Colonel Costobell's opening words. After
that I would gladly have seen the beggar
chucked Into- the harbor. We never liked
him. did wo?"
"Ask no questions, Pompey. but go ahead
with the yarn," growled the first lieutenant,
"Well, it seems that Mrs. CoBtobell la
dead. She got enteric a week after the
Orient sailed, and was a goner In four days.
Before she died she ownid up."
He paused, with a base eye to effect Not
a man moved a muscle.
"All right" ho cried, "I will make no
more false starts. Mrs. Costobell begged
her husband's forgiveness for her treat
ment of him, and confessed that she and
Lord Ventnor planned the affair for which
Anjtruther was tried by court-martial, It
his words were Icy enough. And you ought
to have seen Ventnor'i face when he heard
of the depositions, sworn to and signed by
Mrs. Costobel and by several Chinese ser
vants whom he bribed to give false evi
dence. He promised to marry Mrs. Costo
bell If her husband died, or, In any event
to bring about a divorce when the Hong
kong affalt had blown oxer. Then she
lenrned that he -was alter Miss Iris, and
thero Is no doubt her fur' helped on the
fever. Costobell said that, for his wife's
sake, he would havo kept the wretched
thing secret but ho was compelled to clear
Anstrulher'a name, especially as ho came
across the other old Johnnie- "
"Pompey. you nro Incoherent wllh ex

Playdon affected to search for his pocket
handkorohlef,
"Do tell us, or It will bo worse for you,"
cried his mentor.
"Olve ma time, air, a drink! Wbat you
fellows want Is a phonotrnph. Let me see,
Well, Costobel nhook Ventnor oft at last,
with the final observation that Anstrulher'a
court-martial has been quashed. The next
batch of general orders will reinstate hit"

decide whether or not a criminal warrant

"Clung to Anatruther like a weeping

wrung my arm off, nnd tho men were so
excited that they gave the party a rousing
cheer as their rickshaws went off in a

The next commotion arose In the hotel
when Btr Arthur Deane sed the first op
portunity to explain tha predicament In
which his company was placed, and the
blow Lord Ventnor yet had It In hla power
to deal,
Mr. William Anslruther was an Interested
auditor. Robert would have spoken, but his
uncle restrained him,
"Leave thU lo me, lad," ha exclaimed.
"When I wns coming here In the Sirdar
there was a lot of talk about Sir Arthur's
scheme, and there should not bo much dif
ficulty In raising all the bras required. It
half what I heard be true Sit you down,
Sir Arthur, nnd tell us all about It."
To a shrewd man ot business the project
could not fnll to commend Itself, nnd the
Yorkshire squire, though a trifle obstinate
In temper, was singularly clear-headed In
other respects. He brought hN great fist
down on the table with a whack.
"Send a cable lo your cotnpnny. Sir Ar
thur." he cried, "and tell them that your
prospective son-in-law will provide the ten
thousand pounds you require. I will see
that his draft Is honored. You can add, If
you like, that nnother ten will be ready If
wanted wnon mis lot is spent i uia my
lad one der deuced bad turn In my life.
This time, I think, I am doing Mm a good
one"
"You aro. Indeed," said Iris's father en
thusiastically. "The unallotted capital he
Is taking up will be worth four tlmea Its
faco value In two years."
"All the more reason to make hla holding
twenty Instead of ten," roared the York
shire man. "But look here, You talk about
dropping proceedings against that precious
earl whom I saw today. Why not toll
him not to try any funny tricks until Rob
ert's money Is safely lodged to your ac
count? Wo have him In our power. Dash
It all, let us use him a bit"
Even Iris laughed at this naive sugges
tion. It was delightful to think that their
arch enemy was actually helping the
baronet's affairs at that very moment, and
would contlnuo to do so until ho was flung
aside as being of no further value. Al
though Ventnor himself had carefully
avoided any formal commitment the cable
grams awaiting the shipowner at Singapore
Bhowed that confidence had already been re
stored by the uncontradicted use ot his
lordship's name.
Robert at last obtained a hearing,
"You two are quietly assuming the nttl
tude of the financial magnates of this gath
ering," ho said. "I must admit that you
have managed things very well between
you, and I do not propose for ono moment
to Interfere with your nrrangementa. Nev
ertheless, Iris nnd I are really the chief

The baronet lawheel wlrh a whole 1ieM
gayety that revealed whenee Trie got some
part, at leant of her bright dtepoalttoeu
"Will you sell your Wand, Kofcertr
cried. "I am afraid that net even Irta
could wheedle any oae fait baytnt; K."
"But father, dear," Interrupted the M
earnestly, "what Robert saya la tree, Wa
have a gold mine there. It ! worth m
much that you will hardly bettor K metU
there oan no longer be any douM In year
mind, I suppose that la war Robert aetoed
me not to mention bar dleoovery to ytm
earlier."
"No, Iris, that was not the reaaon,"-stM
her lover, and tho older men felt that more
than Idle fanay Inspired the astounding In
telltgence that they had Just heard. "Your
love was more to me than all the rold In
the world. I had won you. X meant to keey
you, but I refused to buy you."
He turned to her father. Ills pent-up
emotion mastered him, and he spoke aa one
who could no longer restrain his feellnca.
"I havtt had no chance to thank you (er
the words you uttered at the moment we
quitted the ship. Yet I will treasure them
while life lasts. You gar Iris to me when
I was poor, dlsgraoed, an outcast from my
ramity ana my procession, ana i jenow wny
uu did this thing. It was because you
valued her happiness more than riches or
reputation. I am sorry now I did not ex
plain matters earlier. It would hare saved
you much needless suffering. But the sor
row has sped like an evil dream, and you
will perhaps not regret It for your action
today binds me to you with hoops ot steel.
And you, too, uncle. You traveled thou,
sands of miles to help and comfort m Jn
my anguish. Were I as bad as I was
painted, your kind old heart still pitied
mot you were prepared to pluck me from
the depths of despair and degradation. Why
should I hate Lord Ventnor? What man
oould havo served me as he did? II has
given me Iris. Ho gained for mo at her
father's hands n concession such as mortal
has seldom wrested from black-browed fate.
He brought my uncle to my side In the
hour of my adversity. Hat him. I I wouja
have his statue carved in marble and sat
on high to tell all who passed how good
may spring out of evil how God'a wisdom
oan manifest Itsolt by putting even the
croeplng and crawling things of the earth
to some useful purpose."
"Dash It all. lad," vociferated the elder
Anstruther. "what alls thee? I neverheard
you talk like this before I"
Tho old gentloman's amasementwa so
comical Uiat further tension was outof-the
question.

THE HARDEST WORK IN THE WORLD
Dear Children, Especially Little Girls Who "Mind" tho Baby Of course,
we all know how hard it is to CONTROL ourselves and not fly in a temper.
But what IS the hardest work (physical as well as mental) in nil the
world? I should say "minding" the baby.
I may be wrong, but that is my opinion. A man digging a ditch may
like it. A "little mother" may like to "mind" tho baby, but that is not saying
the task is easy.
Suppose wo all try to think of as many ways ns possible to ,moko this
work of "minding" the baby easy.
My heart goes out to the "little mothers," and I think that somo awcet
day they, too, will bo mothers and havo babies of their own and know how to
take care of them from EXPERIENCE.
I think it would be very interesting reading to publish a few lettera from
"little mothers" telling how they take care of babies intrusted to their care.
Tho boys might bo interested.
Of course, if I am wrong in thinking "minding" the baby is tho hardest
work In the world, do write and tell roe. Then I will tell you WHYNI think
it is the hardest work in tho world. ,
I took care of one baby one day. PARMER SMITH", Childreria Editor.
