These passengers were Englishmen. who had procured passage on The dull to Palermo, whence they iuteuded to em bark by steamer to Marseilles, the fol lowing- day. While tbe Captain and his assistants were attending to their duties, and ex pressing apprehensions as to their safety, the two Englishmen stood apart, leaning against the low bulwarks, aud survey iug the wild sceue around them. These men were Loth young, appar- entlv of the same aire, about three and , twenty, but evidently they were not of the same station in life.

L.usB ltr ts tl.a itiTAiia spirit that characterized young Tressilian Young as he was he had seen much of the dark side of life, and his experiences had been such as to develop in him some tbe worst qualities of his nature. He was Jasper Lowder. Guy Tressi- lian's hired traveling companiou and bo som-friend. , - The meeting and connection of the two had a touch ot romance, loung Tressilian had spent four years in a Ger man University, whence he had been graduated with honor. On leaving the university, in obedietice to his father's written command, he had . undertaken a tour of the countries inclosing the Med itcrrncan Sea, in company with one ofiUe wanta me t0 Ktwn and marry his late tutors. , This gentleman " being nnexpectedly promoted to a professor ship, abandoned Tressilian at Baden, leaving him to find another traveling companion. On the evening of the very day after this desertion, as Guy Tressilian was sauntering through the streets of Baden, be had been assualted by a trio of his countrymen, all more or less intoxicated. It was apparent that they took him ' forjTTcss. . "My experience has been widely another, and intended to wreak vengeance upon him. Without allowing him to speak, they forced him to defend - him self. Gny was getting the worst of the conflict when a stranger came running to his assistance, and in a few moments This stranger who came so opportune ly to Guy's assistance, was Jasper Low;, der. His resemblance to young Tressi lian awakened in the later a romantic in terest. He questioned Lowder, learned that he was poor and alone in the world. and took him with him to bis hotel. Be lieving that the similarity of features in dicated a similarity of tastes and natures, he engaged Lowder as his traveling com panion, and the past year they had spent together more like, brothers than like em ployer aud employed. This storm is a regnlar Levanter," said Lowder, clinging' with both hands to the bulwarks. "Do you think the craft will stand it, Tressilian 5" "Oh, yes," answered young Tsessillan, wiping the salt spray from his fa e. Tbe Captain knows the Sicilian coast perfectly. In two hours, or less, we shall be iu the bay of Palermo. In three hours we shall be domiciled in the best rooms of the hotel Trinacria, with the best supper which Messer Ragusa can furnish.

Then he took his bride to Lou- don, to cheap; and obscure lodgeings, ma tawa. j -JANUARY 4, 171. ''For years my mother and . I lived in those stuffy, oliscure lodgings until her bloom bad f tded, and she had grown: thin and wan and nervous.'',, My father visit ed im at stated seasons, once or twice' a week, but be never brought any of his family to call upon us. I doubt if his aristocratic relatives even suspected the existence of the faded wife and son of whom he was secrelely ashamed. I have good reason to believe that fie had fine ludgeing.i at the West End, where he was supposed to ba a bachelor, and that he went iuto fashiouable society, while my poor mother and I lived obscurely.. He was a profligate and a roue, but he had au air of fashion that awakened my boy ish admiration, and aroused my mother's affectionate pride iu him She . was al ways pleading to be introduced to his relatives, and to have her sou publicly acknowledged. But my father always put her off, saying that he was not ready. Worn out aud despairing, my mother j iea wlieu 1 was ten years old. Again the wind shrieked past, again the little vessel lurched, the sea sweeping her deck. The captain screamed his orders to his men, and for a few minutes disorder reigned. 'A nasty bit of weather !' said Low der "And a bad sky !" Yes, but I've seen as bad,' returned Tressilian. "We shall make port all right, never fear. We must be well on toward the Cape di Gallo. And it's only seven miles from the Cape to Palermo.'' "But the seven miles in a storm are worse than seventy in good weather. These coasts are dangerous Tressilian " Lowder ehuddered as he surveyed sea and sky. "But about your father Jasper I" said Tressilian, who had become deeply inter - lested ill his comoanion's storv. "What did he do after your mother's death ?'' ' I remained at the old lottgiugs with our single old servant a month or more. my father visiting me several times, and expressing anxiety as to what he should ; do with me. A week alter my mother s j death he told me that his brother, was! dead A month later, his father was j lulled by being thrown from his horse, ! w r . 1 - . . 1 1 1 aiy lamer came into ricura anu iiooors . by these deaths.

He promised her five hundred pounds a year to keep me, and to keep also the secret ot my paternity, solemnly prom- ising to acknowledge me some day as his j eon and heir. The old woman agreed to carry out his wishes. She would have done anything for money. I never saw my father again. I went to school, grew up, aud at the age of twenty -one came into my grandmother's money, the fruits of years of savings, she dying at that time.

From what my grandmother said at different times, I conclude that my father was in flove with a titled lady before mr moth er's death. No doubt he married this lady. If he lives, this lady's son may be his acknowledged heir. My father has utteily disowned the son of bis first hasty, ill starred marriage. I have a fan cy that I shall meet him some day," and Jasper's brow darkened to deeper black ness. "However, I stand no chance of ever receiving jtntic : at his h in ls."
