CHAPTER XIV.
EASTWARD HOl
Mr. McAdain of tho firm of McAdam
& Squire was a highly polished man who
dwelt behind a highly polished tablo in
the neatest and snuggest of offices, ne
was white haired and amiable, with a
doep lined aquilino face, was addicted to
low bows and indeed always seemed to
carry himself at half cock, as though just
descending into one or just recovering
himself. He wore a high buckled stock,
took snuff and adorned his conversation
with little scraps from tho classics.
"My dear Bir," said he when ho had
listened to their Btory, "any friend of
Mrs. Westmacott's is a friend of mine.
Try a pinch. I wonder that you should
havo gono to this man Metaxa. His ad
vertisement is onough to condemn him.
Habet fconum in cornu. They ore all
rogues."
"Tho doctor was a roguo too. I didn't
like the lank of him at the time."
"Arcades ambo. But now wo must
see what we can do for you. Of course
what Metaxa said was perfectly right.
Tho pension is in itself no security at :
all unless it wero accompanied by a life
assuranco which would bo an income in !
itself. It is no good whatover."
His clients' faces fell.
"But there is tho Becond alternative. '
You might sell tho pension right out.
Spoeulative investors occasionally deal
in such things. I have ono client, a
sporting man, who would be very likely
to take it up if wo could agree upon
terms. Of courso I must follow Me
taxa's example by sending for a doctor." j
For tho second time was tho admiral
punched and tapped and listened to.
This time, however, there could bo no
question of the qualifications of tho doc- 1
tor, a well known fellow of tho Collego
of Surgeons, and his report was as favor
able as the other's had been adverse.
"He has tho heart and chest of a man
of 40," said he. "I can recommend his |
lifo as ono of the best of Ills ago that I
have ever examined."
"That's well," said Mr. McAdam, mak- |
ing a note of tho doctor's remarks, while
tho admiral disbursed a second guinea.
"Your price, I understand, is £5,000. 1
can communicato with Mr, Elberry, my
client, and let you know whether ho
cares to touch the matter. Meanwhilo
you can leave your pension papers hero, |
and I will givo you a receipt for them."
"Vory well. I should liko tho money
soon." • x
"That is why I am retaining tho pa
pers. If I can see Mr. Elberry today, wo
may let you have a check tomorrow.
Try another pinch. No? Well, goodby.
I am very happy to havo been of serv
ice." Mr. McAdam bowed them out, for
ho was a very busy man, and they found
themselves in the street onco more with
lighter hearts than when they had left it.
"Well, Westmacott, I am euro I am
very much obliged to you," said the ad
miral. "You have stood by mo when I
was the better for a littlo help, for I'm
clean out of my soundings among these
i ity sharks. But I've something to do
now which is more in my own lino, and
I need not trouble you any more."
"Oh, it is no trouble. I have nothing
to do. I never havo anything to do. I
don't supposo I could do it if I had. I
should bo delighted to como with you,
sir, if I can be of any use."
"No, no, my lad. You go homo again.
It would be kind of yflu, though, if yon
would look in at No. 1 when you got
back and tell my wife that nil's well with
mo and that I'll ho back in an hour or so."
"All right, sir; I'll tell her." Westma
cott raised his hat and strodo away to
the westward, while tho admiral, after a
hurried lunch, bent his steps toward tho
east.
It was a long walk, but tho old sea
man swung along at a rousing pace,
leaving street after street behind him.
Tho great business palaces dwindled
down into commonplace shops and
dwellings, which decreased and became
more stunted, oven as tho folk who filled
them did, until he was deep in the evil
places of tho eastern end. It was a land
of hugo, dark houses and of garish gin
shops, a land, too, whero life movos ir
regularly and where adventures aro to
be gained—as tho admiral was to learn
to his cost.
He was hurrying down ono of tho
long, narrow stone flagged lanes between
tho double lines of crouching, dishovoled
women and of dirty children who sat
on the hollowed steps of the houses and
basked in tho autumn sun. At ono side
wits a barrowman with a load of wal
nuts, and beside the barrow a bedrag- ]
gled woman with a black fringe and a
checkered shawl thrown over her head, j
Sho was cracking walnuts and picking
them out of the shells, throwing out a
remark occasionally to a rough man in a
rabbit slcin cap, with straps under tho
knees of his corduroy trousers, who
stood puffing a black cluy pipo with his
back against the wall. What tho cause
of tho quarrel was or what sharp sar
casm from the woman's lips pricked sud
denly throngh that thick skin may nevf r
be known, but suddenly the man took
his pipo in his left hand, leanod forward
and deliberately struck hor across tho
face with his right. It was a slap rather
than a blow, but tho woman gave a
sharp cry and cowered up against tho
barrow with her hand to her cheek.
"You infernal villain!" cried the ad
miral, raising his stick. "You brute and
blackguard!"
"Gam!" growled the rough with the
deep, rasping intonation of a savago.
"ftarn put o' tfaifl or I'll" Ho took a 1
! stop forward with upiltted nana, out in
j an instant down camo cut No. 1 upon
his wrist and cut No. 2 across his
1 thigh and cut No. 8 full in the cen
-1 j ter of his rabbit skin cap. It was not
I a heavy stick, but it was strong enough
' to leavo a good red weal wherever
1 | it fell. Tho rough yelled with pain and
1 rushed in, hitting with both hands and
, kicking with his ironshod boots, but tho
admiral had still a quick foot and a true
eyo, so that he bounded backward and
sidoways, still raining a shower of blows
upon his savage antagonist. Suddenly,
however, a pair of arms closed round his
neck, and glancing backward ho caught
a glimpso of tho black, coarso fringo of
tho woman whom ho had befriended.
"I'vo got himl" sho shrieked. "I'll 'old
! 'iml Now, Bill, knock tho tripo out of
I himl"
Her grip was as strong as a man's, and
her wrist pressed liko an iron bar upon
j tho admiral's throat. Ho mndo a desper
ate effort to disengago himself, but the
most that he could do was to swing her
j around so as to placo her between his
; adversary and himself. As it proved it
was tho very best thing that ho could
havo dono. The rough, half blinded and
| maddened by tho blows which he had re
ceived, struck out with all his ungainly
strength just as his partner's head
swung around in front of him.
Thero was a noiso liko that of a stone
hitting a wall, a deep groan, her grasp
relaxed, and sho dropped a dead weight
upon tho pavement, while tho admiral
sprang back and raised his stick once
more, ready either for attack or defense.
Neither was needed, however, for at
that moment thero was a scattering of
tho crowd, and two police constables,
burly and hclmeted, pushed their way
through tho rabble. At tho sight of
them tho rough took to his heels and
was instantly screened from view by a
| veil of his friends and neighbors.
] "I havo been assaulted," panted tho
admiral. "This woman was attacked,
| and I had to defend her."
"This is Bermondsey Sal," said one
j police officer, bending over tho bedrag
gled heap of tattered Bhawl nnd dirty
skirt. "She's got it hot this time."
"Ho was a shortish man, thick, with
a board."
"Ah, that's Black Davie. llo's been up
four times for beating her. He's about
I done the job now. If I wero you, I would
let that sort settle their own little af
fairs, sir."
"Do you think that a man who holds
tho queen's commission will stand by
and see a woman struck?" cried tho ad
miral indignantly.
"Well, just as you liko, sir. But you've
lost your watch, I see."
"My watch!" He clapped his hand to
" l"o Infernal villain!" cried the admiral,
his waistcoat. Tho chain was hanging
down in front, and tho watch gone.
He passed his hand over his forehead.
"I would not havo lost that watch for
anything," said ho. "No money could
replace it. It was given mo by tho ship's
company after our African cruise. It has
in inscription."
Tho policeman shrugged his shoulders.
"It comes from meddling," said he.
"What'll yon give ine if I tell j-cr where
it is?" said a sharp faced boy among tho
crowd. "Will you give mo a quid?"
"Certainly."
"Well, whero's tho quid?"
Tho admiral took a sovereign from his
pocket. "Here it is."
"Then 'ero's tho ticker!" Tho boy
pointed to tho clinched hand of tho
senseless woman. A glimmer of gold
Bhono out from betweon tho fingers, and ■
on opening them up there was tho ad
miral's chronometer. This interesting
victim had throttled her protector with
ono hand, while she had robbed him
with the other.
Tho admiral left his address with the
policeman, satisfied himself that the
woman was only stunned, not dead, and |
thon set off upon his way once more,
tho poorer perhaps in his faith in human
nature, but in very good spirits nono
the less. He walked with dilated nos- !
trils and clinched hands, all glowing
and tingling with tho excitement of the !
combat, and wanned with tho thought
that he could still, when tliero was need,
take his own part in a streot brawl in j
spito of his threescore and odd years. j
His way now led toward the riverside 1
regions, and a cleansing whiff of tar was
to be detected in the stagnant autumn
air. Men with tho blue jersoy and peaked
cap of tho boatman or the white duck of
the dockers began to replace the cordu
roys and fustian of the laborers. Shops
with nautical instruments in the win-
doWB, rope and paint Boilers and slop
j shops with long rows of oilskins dangling
from hooks all proclaimed the ncigh
i borhood of the docks.
; The admiral quickened his pace and
straightened his figure as his surround
ings bccamo more nautical, until at last,
peeping between two high dingy wharfs,
, ho caught a glimpse of the mud colored
waters of the Thames and of the bristlo
of masts and funnels which rose from
j its broad bosom. To the right lay a quiet
j street, with many brass plates upon
either side and wire blinds on all of the
t windows. The admiral walked slowly
down it until "The St. Lawrence Ship
ping Company" caught his eye. Ho
crossed the road, pushed open the door
and found himself in a low ceilinged of
fice, with a long counter at one end and
a great number of wooden sections of
ships stuck upon boards and plastered
all over tho walls.
I "Is Mr. Henry in?" asked tho admiral.
"No, sir," answered an elderly man
from a high seat in the corner. "He
has not come into town today. I can
manago any business you may wish seen
to."
"You don't happen to have a first or
socond officer's plnce vacant, do you?"
j The manager looked with a dubious
eye at this singular applicant,
"Do you hold certificates?" ho asked.
"I hold every nautical certificate thero
; is."
"Then you won't do for us."
"Why not?"
"Your age, sir."
"I give you my word that I can see as :
well as ever and am as good a man in
every way."
"I don't doubt it."
"Why should my ago bo a bnr, then?"
"Well, I must put it plainly. If a man
of your ago, holding certificates, has not
got past a second officer's berth, there
must bo a black mark against him some
whero. I don't know what it is, drink
or temper or want of judgment, but
something there must bo."
"I assuro you thero is nothing, but I
find myself stranded, and so havo to
turn to tho old business again."
"Oh, that's it," said tho manager, with
suspicion in his oyo. "How long wore
you in your last billet?"
"Fifty-one years."
"What I"
"Yes, sir, one and fifty years."
"In tho same employ?"
"Yes."
"Why, you must havo begun as a
child."
"I was 12 when I joined."
"It must bo a strangely managed busi
ness," said tho manager, "which allows
men to leavo it who havo served for 00
years, and who aro still as good as ever.
Who did you serve?" •
"Tho queen, heaven bless her."
"Oh, you wero in tho royal navy.
What rating did you hold?"
"I am admiral of tho fleet."
Tho manager started and sprang down
from his high stool.
"My name is Admiral Hay Denver.
Thero is my card. And hero are tho
records of my sorvico. I don't, you un
derstand, want to push any other man
from his billet, but if you should chanco
to have a borth open I should be very
glad of it. I know tho navigation from
the cod banks right up to Montreal a
great deal better than I know the streets
of London."
Tho astonished manager glanced over
tho blue papers which his visitor had
handod him. "Won't you tako a chair,
admiral?" said ho.
"Thank you. But I should bo obliged
if you would drop my titlo now. I told
you because you asked me, but I'vo left
tho quarter deck, and I am plain Mr.
Hay Denver now."
"May I ask," said tho manager, "aro
you tho same Denver who commanded
at one time on tho North American sta
tion?"
"I did."
"Tlien it was you who got ono of our
boats, tho Comus, off the rocks in the
bay of Fundy? Tho directors voted you
800 guineas as salvage, and you refused
them."
"It was an offer which should not havo
been mado," said the admiral sternly.
"Well, it reflects credit ujion you that
you should think so. If Mr. Henry wore
here, I am sure that he would arrange
this matter for you at once. As it is, I
shall lay it beforo tho directors today,
and I am suro that they will bo proud to
have you in our employment and I hopo
in some more suitable position than that
which you suggest."
"I am very much obliged to you, sir,"
said the admiral and started off again,
well pleased, upon his homeward journey.
CHAPTER XV.
STILL AMONG SHO A 1.9.
Next day brought tho admiral a check
for £5,000 from Mr. McAdam, and a
stamped agreement by which ho made
over his pension papers to tho specula
tive investor. It wns not until ho had
signed and sent it off that tho full sig
nificance of all that ho had dono broke
upon him. Ho had sacrificed everything.
His pension was gone. Ho had nothing
save only what ho could earn. But tho
stout old heart never quailed. He
waited eagerly for a letter from the St.
Lawrence Shipping company, and in
tho meanwhilo ho gave his landlord a
quarter's notico. Hundred pound a year
houses would In future be a luxury
which ho could not aspiro to. A small
lodging in somo inexpensive part of Lon
don mnst be tho substitute for his breezy
Norwood villa. So bo it thenl Better
that a thousandfold than that his name
should bo associated with failure and
disgrace.
On that morning Harold Denver was
to meet tho creditors of tho firm and to
explain the situation to them. It was a
hateful task, a degrading task, but he
set himself to do it with quiet resolution.
At homo they waited in intense anxiety to
learn tho result of tho meeting. It was
late before he returned, haggard and
pale, like a man who has dono and suf
fered much.
"What's this board in front of the
house?" ho asked.
"Wo are going to try a little change
of scene," said tho admiral. "This place
is neither town nor country. But never
i I mind that, boy. Tell us what happened
: | in the city."
••God help me! My wretched bueineßS
I is driving you out of house and home!"
| cried Harold, broken down by this fresh
evidence of the effects of his misfor
tunes. "It is easier for me to meet my
creditors than to see you two suffering
so patiently for my sake."
"Tut," tut," cried the admiral. "There's
no suffering in the matter. Mother
would rather be near the theaters. That's
at the bottom of it, Isn't it, mother? You
come and sit down here between us and
, tell us all about it."
Harold sat down with a loving hand in
each of his.
"It's not so bad as wo thought," said
he, "and yet it is bad enough. 1 have
about 10 days to find the money, but 1
j don't know which way to turn for it.
Pearson, however, lied as usual when he
spoke of £IB,OOO. The amount is not
quite £7,000."
The admiral clapped his hands. "1
knew we should weather it after all!
j Hurrah, my boy! Hip, hip, hip, hurrah!"
Harold gazed at him in surprise while
I the old seaman waved his arm above his
| head and bellowed out three stentorian
| cheers. "Wheream Ito get £7,000 from,
dad?" ho asked,
j "Nevermind. You spin your yarn."
"Well, thoy wero very good and very
kind, but of course they must havo either
their money or their moncy'B worth.
They passed a vote of sympathy with
I mo and agreed to wait 10 days before
J they took any proceedings. Three of
I them, whoso claim came to £8,500, told
mo that if 1 would givo them my per
sonal IOH and pay interest at tho rate
of 5 jicr cent their amounts might stand
over as long as I wished. That would
bo a chargo of £175 upon my income,
but with economy I could meet it, and
it diminishes the debt by one-half."
Again the admiral bursts out cheering.
' 'There remains, therefore, about £8,20 C
which has to bo found within 10 days. Nc
man shall lose by me. I gave them my
word in the room that if I worked my
soul out of my body every one of them
should bo paid. I shall not spend 0
penny upon myself until it is done. But
somo of them can't wait. They aro poor
men themselves and must havo their
money. They havo issued a warrant for
Pearson's arrest. But they think thai
ho has got away to the States."
"Theso men shall havo their money,"
said the admiral.
'•Dad!" *
"Yos, my boy, you don't know the re
sources of the family. Ono never does
know until one tries. What have you
yourself now?"
"I have about £I,OOO invested."
"All right. And I havo about us much
more. Thero's a good start. Now, moth
er, it is your turn. What is that little
bit of paper of yours?"
Mrs. Denver unfolded it and placed it
upon Harold's kueo.
"Fivo thousand pounds!" ho gasped.
"Ah, but mother is not tho only rich
one. Look at this!" And the admiral
unfolded his check and placed it upon the
other knee.
Harold gazed from ono to the other in
bewilderment. "Ten thousand i>ounds!"
ho cried. "Good heavens! where did
theso come from?"
"You will not worry any longer,
dear," murmured his mother, slipping
her arm round him.
But his quick oyo had caught the sig
nature upon ono of the checks. "Dr.
Walker!" ho cried, flushing. "This is
Clara's doing. Oh, dnd, wo cannot take
this money. It would not be right nor
honorable."
"No, boy. lam glad yon think so. It
is something, howovor, to have proved
one's friend, for a real good friend ho is.
It was ho who brought it in, though
Clara sent him. But this other money
will bo enough to cover everything, and
it is all my own."
"Your own? Wliero did you get it,
dad?"
"Tut, tut! See what it is to liavc a
city man to deal with. It is my own and
fairly earned, and that is enough."
"Dear old dad!" Ilarold squeezed hie
gnarled hand. "And you, mother! You
have lifted the trouble from my heart. 1
foci another man. You havo saved my
honor, my good name—everything. I
cannot owe yon moro, for I owe you ev
erything already."
So while tho autumn sunset shone
ruddily through tho broud window these
three sat together hand in hand, with
hearts which were too full to Bpeak.
Suddenly the soft thudding of tennis
balls was heard, and Mrs. Westmacott
bounded into view upon tho lawn with
brandished racket and short skirts flut
tering in tho breeze. The sight came as
a relief to their strained nerves, and they
burst all three into a hearty fit of laugh
ter.
"She is playing with her nephew," said
Harold at last. "The Walkers have not
come out yet. I think that it would ho
well if yon wero to give ino that check,
mother, and I wero to return it in per-
Bon."
"Certainly, Harold. I think it would
be very nice."
He went in through tho garden. Clara
and tho doctor wero sitting together in
the dining room. She sprang to her feet
at the sight of him.
"Oh, Harold, I havo been waiting for
you so impatiently," alio cried. "Isaw
you pass the front windows half an hour
ago. I would have como in if I dared.
Do tell us what has happened."
"I havo como in to thank you both.
How can I repay you for your kindness?
Hero is your check, doctor. I havo not
needed it. I find that 1 can lay my hands
on enough to pay my creditors."
"Thank God!" said Clara fervently.
"The sum is less than I thought and
our resources considerably more. Wo
have been ablo to do it with ease."
"With easel" The doctor's brow grew
clouded, and his manner grew cold. "I
think, Harold, that you would do better
to take this money of mine than to use
that which seems to you to bo gained
with ease."
"Thank you, Bir. If I borrowed from
any one, it would bo from you. But my
father has tills very sum—£s,ooo—and, as
I tell him, I owe him so much that I
have no compunction about owing him
more." ,
"No compunction! Surely thero are
some sacrifices which a son should not
allow his parents to make."
"Sacrifices! What do you mean?"
"Is it i>oßnible that you do not know
how this money has been obtained?"
"1 give you my word, Dr. Walker,
that I havo no idea. I asked my father,
but he refused to tell me."
"1 thought not," said the doctor, the
gloom clearing from his brow. "I was
sure that you wero not a man who, to
clear yourself from a little money dif
ficulty, would sacrifice tho happiness of
your mother and the health of your fa
ther."
She sprang to her feet at the sight of him.
"Good graciousl What do you mean?"
"It is only right that you should know.
That money represents tho commutation
of your father's pension. Ho has reduced
himself to poverty and intends to go to
sea again to earn a living."
"To sea again! Impossible!''
"It is the truth. Charles Westmacott
has told Ida. He was with him in the
city when he took his poor pension about
from dealer to dealer trying to sell it.
He succeeded at last, and hence the
money." '
"He has sold his pension," cried Harold
with his hands to his face. "My dear old
dad has sold his ponsion." He rushed
from the room and burst wildly into the
presenco of his parents once more. "I
cannot tako it, father," ho cried. "Bet
ter bankruptcy than that. Oh, if I had
only known your plan. We must have
back the pension. Oh, mother, mother,
how could you think mo capable of such
selfishness? Give me the check, dad, and
I will see this man tonight, for I would
sooner die like a dog in tho ditch than
touch a penny of this money."
[CONCLUDED ON THURSDAY.]
A TALE OF TRICHIN/E.
A Victim Tells How It Fools to 110 Inhab
itod !>y Piirnslten.
Walter Nagel, William Hunius and Otto
Nagel wero successfully treated for trich
inosis at the German hospital in San Fran
cisco recently. To an Examiner reporter
Mr. Nagel thus describes his experience
with tho parasites:
"Tho way we came to get the terriblo dis
ease was t his: You see, all of our hogs died,
and on tho 11th of February \\*e bought one
at tho slaughter house and took it home
and killed it. Wo made some sausage, and
all three of us tasted it frequently during
the process that wo might season it just
right. 1 also ate three or four small pieces
of tho raw meat, which probubly accounts
for the fuct that my case was the worst of
the throe.
"We felt DO inconvenience for about U
week, but on the 17th we were all taken with
cramps in the stomach, which soon became
intensely painful and upon which the usual
household remedies had no effect. Then we
began to vomit incessantly, and the severity
of the pain was such that I thought I should
go crazy.
"On March 12 wo started, for the German
hospital in Son Francisco. It was a terrible
trip. We had arrived at that stage of the
disease when our limbs were stiffened, swol
len and exceedingly painful to. the touch.
Even to lie on the softest bed was torture,
so you can imagine what we endured in rid
ing down the rough and steep mountain
side and over the cobblestones in San Fran
cisco.
"Next our faces swelled, and we had high
fever, with a quickened pulse and heavy,
weakening sweats. My case being the
worst of all, I suppose that I suffered the
most. It even pained me to breathe, the
trichinie had become so thoroughly scat
tered through my system, and such awful
pains racked my body that I sometimes
wished that death would come to my relief.
"After some treatment the swelling in
my head began to disappear, but was re
placed by a similar swelling of the feet. 1
was now given to understand that my
whole system was impregnated with the
parasites; that they had reached the ex
tremities of my liinbs, my fingers, my toes
—in fact, that there was no muscle in my
entire body, however small, that was not
the abiding place of the horrible worm.
Prom the pain that the smallest movement
gave me and the agony which racked my
limbs, my whole body, I could well believe
that such was the case.
"Then I became extremely weak. I hung
between life ami death for several days, but
after awhile my appetite began to improve,
the torturing pains began to cease, and the
muscular pains and swellings began to
abate. Yet the improvement was very
slow. In the course of time, however, we all
grew better and were discharged."
