CHAPTER I.
A FATEFUL CATASTROPHE.
A wild storm was raging upoit the Medi
terranean Sea. near the clo.se of a dreary
November day, and oty and waters were
black with the rIooui or the iuaaen tiuu iu-
rious tempest, before which a small sailiug
Teasel was scudding under bare poles. Iler

build and rigging prociauneu iier cuiuiuian.
She was The Gull, Captain Varina master,
on her way from Cagliari to Palermo.
She had on board two seamen, and two
passengers.
These passengers were Englishmen, who
bad procured passage on The Gull to Paler
mo, whence they ititei.dcd to embark by
steamer to Marseilles, the following day.
While the Captain and his assistants
were attending to their safety, the two Ln
glishmen stood apart, leaning against the
low bulwark, and surveying the wild scene
around them.
These men were both young, apparently
of the same age, about three and twenty,
but evidently they were not. of the saute
elation in lite.
One, the more striking of the two, was
aristocratic in hid bearing, tall, slender and
handsome, with a frank, smiling mouth, a
pair of fearless blue eyes, set under a wide
and massive forehead, and tawney hair
blowing back from bis face. Noble, gener
' ous and kind hearted, he had an adventur
ous disposition and a dauntless courage.
He wa Guy Tressilian, the only son and
heir of Sir Arthur Tressilian, Baronet of
Tressilian Court, England.
His companion presented a remarkable
resemblance to him, being also tall and blen
der and fair, with tawney hair and mustache
but he had not the frank smile, the bright,
fearless look, or the joyous spirit that c har -acterized
young Tressilian. Young as he
was, he had seen much of the dark side of
lift, and his experiences had been such as
to develop in him some of the worst quali
ties of his nature.
He was Jasper Lowder, Guy Tressilian's
hired traveling companion and bosom
friend. The meeting and connection of the two
had a touch of romance. Young Tressilian
had spent four years in a German university
whence he bad been graduated with honor.
On leaving the university, in obedience to
his father's written command, he had un
dertaken a tour of the countries inclosing
the Medeterranean Sea, in company with
one of his late tutors. This gentleman be
ing unexpectedly promoted to a professor
ship, abandoned Tressilian at Baden, leav
iug him to find another traveling compan
ion.! On the evening of the very day after this
desertion, as Guy Tre.silian was sauntering
through the streets of Baden, be had been
assaulted by a trio of his own countrymen,
til more or less intoxicated. It was appa
parent tkat they took him for another, and
intended to wreak vengeance upon him.
Without allowing him to speak, they forced
him to defend himself. Guy was getting
the worst of the conflict, when a stranger
came running to his aasistaiicc, and in a
few moments the two had put the ruffians
to flight.
This stranger who came so opportunely to
Gay's assistance was Jasper Lowder. His
resemblance to young Tressilian awakened
in the latter a roman'ie interest. He qucs
tioned Lowder, learned that be was poor
and alone in the world, and took him with
him to his hotel. Believing that the simi
larity of feature indicated a similarity ef
tastes and natures, he engaged Lowder as
his traveling companion, and the past year
they had spent together more like brothers
that like employer and employed.
"This storm is a regular Levanter," said
Lowder, clinging with both hands to the
bulwarks. "Io you think the craft will
stand it, Tressilian ?"
"Oh, yes," answered youag Tressilian,
wiping the salt spray from his face. "The
Captain knows the Sicilian coast perfecily.
In two hours or less, we shall be in the bay
otsPalermo. In three hours we shall be
domiciled in the best roomj of the hotel
Trinacria, with the best supper which Mes
ser Kagusa can tarnish. And to-morrow, at
noon," he added, "we shall embark for
Marseilles in a Messaeries steamer."
"And from Marseilles you will proceed to
England anil to Tressilian Court," said
Lowder, with some bitterness. "And J
what ia to become of me ? I bave had a
year of unalloyed happiness, and now comes
back the drudgery, the hopeless toil, the
anxieties of the wietched old life. You
picked me up at Baden, a poor adventurer
seeking to gain a living by teaching English
and the same destiny is open to me now."
Tressilian turned his handsome face upon
his companion in surprise and affectionate
reproach.
"Jasper!" he exclaimed, "you talk
strangely. Io you suppose I have called
you friend and brother so lung, and loved
you so- well, to lose you now ? I meant to
have written to my father concerning you
and your future, Jasper, but hi sudden re
call, received yesterday, causes me to return
home without writing. I shall telegraph
from Marseilles that you will come home
with me. And you will, will you not ? You
will not abandon me, my friend? I will
charge myself with your future. I will gee
that you obtain the position to which your
talents entitle you. You bave no ties to
keep you on the Continent ?"
A Strang expression passed over Jaspei
Lowder's face.
"No, I have no tic3," he said huskily.
"And you will go home with me?"
"What will your father say to my rom
ing?" demanded Lowder. "He will think
your generosity Quixotic. He will dismiss
from his house the hired companion who
dares to resemble hi son "
A sudden lurch of the little vcsscl,a wave
sweeping oyer the deck, interrupted the
ttentencr.
"You wrong my father," said Trissilian,
his blue eyes kindling, when the vessel bad
righted. "He is the nobl" t man in the
world. He still welcome my friends as his
own. You will love htm, Jasper, as I do,
when you know him."
"He doesn't seem very affectionate," re
marked Lowder. "You have been away
from your home for five years and he has
bat Just recalled you."
oung Tressilian's cheeks flushed, as
Lowder saw in the lurid glow that momen
tarily lighted up the tempestuous scene.
"You know, or you can guess the reason,
Jasper," he said with something of an et
fort. "My father has a ward, the daughter
of an old friend. Ah ! hear that wind
shriek 1 The gale is increasing 1"
"Yes," assented Lowder. "And the
ward is Miss Irby-thegoldea-haired Blanche
of whom you have talked so much, and
with whom you have exchanged letters?"
"Yes. My father formed a project to
have me marry Blanche. He did not wish
ns to grow up together, lest we should learn
to regard each other as brother and sister.
When Blanche came to live at the Court
my father sent me to Germany. The night
before I left home, he called me into his
library and told me all his hopes and plans
for my future, and entreated me to continue
worthy of his innocent ward, and to keep
my heart pure for her. I have done so,
Jasper. I have never yet loved any wo
man. And yesterday I received my fath
er s summons to come home. He has re
called me after five years of .absence. I
know the wish that lies nearest his heart.
He wants me to return and marry Blanche.
I proposed marriage. I dread going home.
And I dread offending my dear father.whom
I love better than any woman. It is hard,
Jasper, to revolt against the hopes and
plans of a kind and generous father, whose
very love for me causes him to urge on this
marriage !"
"Is it?" said Lowder. dryly, and with a
s'range smile full of bitterness. "My ex
perience has been widely different from
yours, Tressilian. Did' I ever tell you of
my lather f
"No. I took it for granted that he is
dead."
"Perhaps he is. I don't know," said
Lowder, with a reckless laugh. "But if he
is living, he is a scoundrel. Don't start.
Tressilian, at my unfilial speech. Wait till
you hear my story. I am in a desperate
mood to night. This sioini sti.s up all the
bad within me. As nearly as I can discov
er, my father was the younger son of a
proud old county faaiily "
"You do not kuow, then?" nsked Tres
silian, pressing bis companion's hand.
"I have no proof's of it. All I positively
know is this. My mother was of humble
station, pretty, with blue eyes ami apple
blossciu face, and tender, appealing ways.
She was the daughter of a' widow residing
at Brighton. The widnv, mv grandmother,
kept a lodging house, and my father, a ray,
dashing young fellow, tame to lode with
her. As mijjiit have been cxpeoti:d, he fell
in love with his landlady's daughter. lie
offered the young girl marriage, on condi
tion that the union should be kept secret
until his a Hairs brightened and he chose
to divulge it. The young pirl loved him.
Her mother was ambitions and penurious.
The result was the lover had his way. and
married the daughter of his landlady quiet
ly, almost secretly. The h took his bride
to Loudon, to cheap and obscur lodgings,
where, a year later, I vra born."
The wind for a inomsut drowned bis
voice. As it presently lulled, he resumed
recklessly, and with pasiona:e bitterness:
"For years my mother and I lived in those
stuffy, obscure lodvinjs until her bloom had
faded, and she had grown thin and wan and
nervous. My father visited us at stated
seasons, once or twice a week, but he never
brought any of his family to call upon us
I douLt if his aristocrat in relatives even
suspected the existence of the laded wife
and sou of whom he was secretly ashamed.
I have good reason to'btdievo that he had
fine lodgings at the West Kud, where he
was supposed to be a bachelor, and that he
went into fashionable society, while my poor
mother and I lived obscurely. He was a
profligate and a roue but he bad an air ol
fashion that awakened my boyish admira
tion, and aroused my mothers affectionate
pride in him. She was always pleading to
be introduced to his relatives, and to have
her son publicly acknowledged. But twy
father always put her off, saying that he
was not yet ready. Worn out and despair
ing, my mother died when I was ten years
old."
Again the wind shrieked past, a era in the
little vessel lurched, the sea sweeping her
deck.
The captain screamed bis orders to his
men, mid for a lew minutes disorder reigned.
"A nasty bit' of weather," said Lowder.
"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 Galio. And it's only seven
miles from the Cape to Palermo."
"But the seven miles in this storm are
worse than seventy in-irood weather. The
coasts are dangerous, Tressilian."
Lowder shuddered as he surveyed sea and
sky.
"But about your father, Jasper?" said
Tressilian, who had become deeply interest
ed in his companion's story. "What did
he do after your mother s death r
"I remained at the old lodgings with our
single old servant a mouth or more,my fath
er visiting me several times, and expressing
anxiety as to what he bhonld do with me.
A week after my mother's death, he told me
that his brother was dead. A mouth later
his father was killed by being thrown from
his horse. My father came into riches nnd
honors by these diaths. At last, deciding
to rid himself of me, he took me down to
Brighton to my grandmother. Her sons
were dead; she had given up keeping lodg
ers, and was grown ni-erly. He promised
her five hundred younda a year to keep mc,
and to keep also the secret of ujypaternity,'
solemnly promising some day to acknowl
edge me as his son and heir. The old wo
man agreed to crry out his wishes. She
would have done anything for money. I
never saw my father aain. I went to school,
grew up, and at the age of twenty-one came
into my grandmother's money, the fruits of
years of saving, she dying at that time. My
father had delibeiateiy abandoned ine. I
did not know whre to find bim, if I had
wished to. I took my money and ca.sc a
broad. I had been two years on the Conti
nent, and had spent my little fortune when
I met you. The rc.-t you know."
"An odd, romantic story ! But why did
your father abandon ou?"
"That bo luiput be fioed of encumbrance
to make a grndmarriaire. From what my
grandmother said at different times, I con
elude that uiy lather wns in love with a ti
tled lady bel'ore my mother's death. No
doubt he married this lady. If hs-lives
this lady's ssm may be his acknowledged
heir. My fa: her has utterly disowned the
son of his first hasty, ill starred marriage. I
have a fancy that I shall meet him some
day," and Jasper's brow darkened to deeper
blackness. "However. Island no chance of
ever receiving justice at bis hands."
"What is jour father's name, Jasper?"
asked Tressiiian.
Lowder's face darkened. lie bit his lip3
savasrely.
"What I have told you about mytelf I
learned from my own observation, or from
chance words of my parents and grandmoth
er. My mother's maiden name was Jcan
ette Lowuer. At our London Lodgings iny
father bore the name of Lowder. I dor, t
know his real name, but I should know his
face anywhere, although I have not seen bim
in thirteen years. My mother was actually
married, Tressilian, but I nerer heard my
father's uame. The clergyman who married
my mother was dead; the witnesses also.
When my grandmother was dying she tried .
to tell me the story. She had put it off too
long. All that I could underxtand of her
mumblings was the name of Devereux. I
shall never forget that name 'Devereux!'
Probably that was my father's name my
own right ful name. But as I should never
find him if I sought him. and as he would
repulse mc if I did find bim, 1 stand no
chance of inheriting his property. He may
be dead. He may bave other sons who have
succeeded him. It is all a mystery, but the
prominent truth is that I am an outcast,
poor, disowned and friendless."
He leaned over the bulwark, the spray
dashine over his face violently.
Tressilian's heart warmed to him.
'.My poor friend!" he said. "Must I say
again you are not friendless while I live. My
lather has influence enough to obtain for
you a government appointment. This tan
gle may straighten itself out some day. But
if it don't, you are resolute enough to make
your own happiness."
He grasped Lowder's hand, and looked
with warm bright eyes, full of sympathy,
into Lowder's lowering face. '
There had been a temporary lull in the
storm. But as the two stood there, the tem
pest revived and swept over the wild sea in
maddened rage.
There was no time for talking now. The
storm that had gone before had been but
play to this awful outburst. The vessel
drove on, creaking and groauing, a mere
cockle shell on the billows.
"Mother of Mercies !" wailed the captain.
"It's all up with us, signores. I can't make
out the Cape in this darkness. We shall go
on the rocks. St. Anthony save us!"
The seamen echoed his cries.
The two young Englishmen, compreheud
ingtbeir peril, clasped hands in silence.
For the next few minutes it seemed that a
Pandemonium reigned.
Then a noise like the report of a cannon
suddenly boomed through the storm and the
darkness. The little vessel shivered, stag
gered and careened upon her side.
She had struck upon a rock.
A moment later crew and passengers were
strusgling in the waters.
A' few moments of buffetint and tossing,
of vain strucglcs and agonized, involuntary
prayer,and then Jasper Lowder felt his sen
set, slip from him, and became unconscious.
When he came to himself.!' was lying
upon a rocky beach of the Sicilian shore,
sore, bruised, and weak as a child.
He opened his eyes. The wind had spent
its fury, and now moaned along the coast
with a desolate, despairing wail. The waves
beat against the roeks.
Lowder strucgled to his elbow.
"Wr reeked 1" he muttered. "I am cast
ashore, while the others are drowned 1 Oh,
this is terrible I I have dost my best friend
tonight!"
He moaned and wrung his hands.
"He is deal, who wauld have done so
much for me, and I so worthless am saved !
All my hopes of an ea.y aud luxurious life
must be resigned now 1"
At that moment he beheld a dark object
at a little distance in the water. - The waves
hurled this object against the projecting
head of a sunken rock. At the same in
stant Lowder recognized it as the body of a
man.
- He crept toward it, and the waters dashed
the body on the shore at his feet, lie put
his hands on the face. How cold and wet
it was. It felt like the face of a dead man.
Lowder's fingers came in contact with the
soft, silken moustache.and be knew that the
body was that of Guy Tressilian.
Of the five who bad stood on the sloop's
deck a half-hour earlier, these two alone
were left. The captain and his erUw had
found their deaths among the cruel yawning
waters. . j
Lowder thrust his hand under the waist
coat of his friend, but he could not perceive
the beating of his heart. Despair took pos
session of him.
"Dead 1 " he said shrilly. "Dead ! And
he would have done so much for me if he
had lived ! And his father and the young
girl he was to have married will wait in vain
for his coming! His place at Tressilian
Court is empty. Who can fill it?"
It seemed to him that some demon at bis
side echoed the question : Who could till the
place left vacant by noble Guy Tressilian?
A thought came to him a thought so
strange aud sinister that he shivered invol
untarily. Again he felt of Tressilian's heart.
It gave no throb against his band. He pass
ed his hand over Tressillian's head and dis
covered a gaping wound in the skull. The
hair was clotted with blood.
Putting his hand into his breast pocket,
Lowder drew out his little waterproofmatch
safe. He opened it with trembling fingers
and struck a light. The red flicker danced
on young Tressilian's face.
How ghastly and terrible it looked. The
eyes were closed, the smile was gone. The
seal of death seemed set on the noble fea
tures. -Lowder examined the wound. It had
been made by contact with the sharp rock,
and even Lowder perceived its terrible char
acter. "If he is not dead, he soon will be," he
muttered. "His brain has received an aw
ful injury. He will never know who he is
again. He wonH live till morning, and he
is perhaps dead already. He must be dead."
Again it seemed to him as though some
demon echoed his words.
The match dropped from his fingers into
the water. For a little while ho crouched
on the wet stones in silence, bat.tli.ig it may
be with the better and nobler instincts of
his nature.
At last, with sudden and abrnpt stealtht
ness, bis hands stole into the breast pocket
of Tressilian and drew out his private note
book, a packet of letters, a few trinkets. lie
secured these among his own wet garments.
Their possession seemed 'to give him cour
age, and his fae hardened. and he knelt be
side the body of his friend and rifind his
garments of all that they contained, bestow
ing his plunder on his own person.
Then he took bis own purse.his note book,
a few receipts and trifles from his own pock
ets, and put them in the pockets of Tressil
ian. "It is done!" ho whispered to himself,
looking with wild defiant eyes through the
darkness. "No one is harmed. He is dead.
If he bad lived, he would have prjvided for
n:e. As he is dying or dead, I must pro
yide for myself. This likeness between us
will make my foituue. His friends will be
spared a terrible grier, and I I shall live at
last. Fortune gives me a chance to gain
name and wealth at one lucky stroke."
As if to give himself no chance for re
pentance, be arose to bis feet and turned bis
searching glances in an iuland direction. A
light, as from a cottaee window, glimmering
faintly through the thick haze, caught his
gaze. ...
Bailing his voice, he called loudly :
"Help! Ho, there! help!"
The wind had abated, and his cries' rang
out through the nichi, withstartling distinct
ness. The light he had seen moved and dis
appeared. A minute later, answering cries
reached Lowder's cars, and he heard hasty
steps, and saw the approaching light of a
lantern, borne aloft by a man s upraised arm.
"This way!" shouted Lowder. "We
are wrecked on the rocks ! For the love of
Heaven, hasten !"
The bearer of the lantern, attended by a
male companion, came running to him, and
was soon at his side. The lantern bearer
was a rough Sicilian fisherman, a grade
above his class. His companion was also
Sicilian, but evidently of somewhat higher
degree. Both were all excitement, astonish
ment and sympathy.
In as few words as possible Lowder told
the story of the shipwreck, and called at
tention to the condition of his noble young
employer.
"I think be is dead !" be said, in a cho
king voice. "Carry him to your cabin. Let
everything, be done that can be done to save
him. 1 will pay you well for any kindness
to him. Poor fellow ! He was my travel
ing companion. I. loved him as if he had
been my brother instead of only my hired
attendant ! Poor Jasper !"
The two Sicilians lif tad the helpless form
of pooryounc Tressilian, and carried it be
tween them toward their cottage. Jasper
Jiowder followed them bewailing his loss.
