Tho unmistakable look of disappointment that lie saw in ihem gave his heart a sudden throb and sent tho quick blood to his cheeks. "It's too bad," she fluid, abstractedly. "Nobody ever seems to stay hero long. Capt. llower promised to tell me all about the ship and ho went iiwa the second week. The photographer left before he finished the picture of the routine; Mon sieur do Ferrieres has just gone, and now you arc going " "Perhaps, unlike them. 1 have finished my season of usefulness here," he replied, with a bitterness he would have readied tho next moment. Hut llosey, with a faint sigh, saying, "I won't be long," en tered the state room and closed the door lichind her.

Was there ever such foil)'' liosey was "not long," as she had said, but be was beginning to pace the tiariow cabin impatiently when the door opened and she returned. She bad resumed her ordinary calico gown, but such was the impression left upon Kcnshaw's fancy that she seemed to wear it with a new grace. At any other lime he might haw recognized the change as due lo a new cornet, which strict veracity compel-me to iccord llo-ey had adopted for the first time that morn ing. Howbcit, her slight coquetry seemed to have passed, for she closed the open trunk with a return of her old listless air. and sitting on it resled her elbows on her knees and her oval chin in her hands. "I wish )ou would do me a favor," she said, after a retlective pause. "iHit me know what it is and it shall l.o done," replied Hen-haw, quickly. "If you should come across Monsieur de I'erriere.s, or hear of him, I wish yon would let me know. He was very poorly when he left here, and I should like to know if he was better. H didn't say where he was going At 1-nst., ho didn't I, d father: but 1 fancy he and father don't agree." "I shall be vert glad ot having evert (hat opportunity of making you remem ber me, Miss Nott," returned lienslmw, witlt a faint snide; "I don't suppose either thnt it wou'd be Miry dilllcitlt to get news of your fr.end everybody seems lo know him '' "I'.ilt not as I did. ' said Ko-oy, with an lib-traded little sigh. Mr. llenshaw opened bis brown ews upon her Was he mistaken' Was this romantic, girl only a Utile coquette, play ing her provincial airs on him? "Von say he and voitr father didn't agree? That means, I suppose, that ou and ho agreed and that was the result." I don't think father knew anything about it.'' said Ko-ey, simply. Mr. iiensliaw rose. And this was what had been waiting lo hearl "lVrhnps," he said, grimly, "jou would also like lews at tbo photographer anil i.npt. liuwi r. or did your father ii'.reu with them better?" No." said Kosev quietly. She re mained silent for a moment, and llftln h.'i lushes said, '-rather always seemed to agree with yuu. and that" sho best In ted. That's why you don't." 'I didn't say that," said llo.cy withun incongruous increase of eohliii'ss and udor. "1 only meant to suy it was that which makes It seem to bard you should go now." Notwithstanding his previous dctcrml nation ltonshaw found himself silting down again. Confused and pleased, wish lug he hail said more or loss he said nothing, and Hosey was forced to con- limit'. It's strange, isn't It but father w.-s urging mo tins morning to malic a visit to sumo friends at the old Itnnch. I didn't want to go. I like it much better here." Hut you cannot bury yourself hero forever, Miss Nott," said llenshaw with a Hidden burst of honest enthusiasm. "Sooner or later you will bo forced to go whero you will bo properly appreciated, whero you will bo admired and courted, where your slightest wish will be law. llcllovo mo. without flatti, you don't know your own ixiwer." "It doesn't seem strong f nough to keep even the little I like here." said Hosey with a slight glistening of tho eyes, "Hut." she added liastily, "you don't know how much the d r old ship Is to me. lt'3 tho only homo I think I over had." "Hut th llanch?" said Kenshaw. "Tho llanch seemed to bo only tho old wagon belted In tho road. It was n very liltlo improvement on out doors," said Itosoy, with a liM-lo shiver. "Hut Mils is m cozy and snug and yflt fo strange Mid foreign. Do you know I tliilik t boirnii to understand why I llko it so since you lacght mo so much about ships and voyages. Itoforo (but I only learned from book. Hooks deceive you, I think, inoro tlinn people do. Don't you think no?" She evidently did not notice lite quick flush that covered his cheeks and ap parently dazzled his troubled ejellds, for oho went on confidentially. I was thinking of you yesterday. I was sitting by tho galley door, looking forward. You remember tho llrst dny I saw you when you startled me by coining up out of the hatch?" "I wish you wouldn't tltlnk of Hint," said llenshaw, with rnoro enrnestnoss than he would have made apparent. I don't want to either." said liosey, gravely, "for I've had a strango f.,ncy n'lont it. I saw once when 1 was younger, ti picture In n print shop in Montgomery street that hminted me. I think It was called 'The rirate.' Thcro was n number ot wicked looking snllors lying around the deck, mid coming out of n lind-h was one figure with his hands on the deck and a cutlass In his ipoulh." "Thank you," said licnsbaw. "You don't, understand. He was hor rid looking, not ut all llko you. I never thought of him when I llrst saw you; but the other day 1 thought how dreadful It would have been If someone like him ant! not like jou had come up then. That made mo nervous sometimes ot being alone. I think father Is too. Hu often goes about stealthily at nlghl.aslf ho was watching for something." Kcnshaw's face grew suddenly dark Could it Iks possible that Sleight had always suspected him, and set spies to watch or was he guilty of some double Intrigue? "He thinks," continued Ho-oy with faint smile, "that some one Is looking around tbo ship, and talks of selling bear traps. I hope you're not mad. Mr. llen shaw," she added, suddenly catching Ight of his changed expression, "at my foolishness In saying you reminded me ot the pirati'. 1 meant nothing." 'I know you're incapable of meaning anything but good to nnjbody. Miss Nolt; perhaps to me more than 1 deserve." said llenshaw with a sudden burst of feeling. I wish I wish jou would do me a fa vor, i mi asked mo one just now.' Me hud taken her hand. It seemed so like a mere illustration of bin earnestness that sho did not withdraw it. "Your father tells you ever tlumr. It he lias tiny offer lo dispose of the ship, will you write to me at once before anything is concluded?" He winced a little the scutciite of Sleight, "What's the llgure you and she have set tled upon?" Hashed ncros- bis mind. He scarcely noticed that liosey had withdrawn her hand coldly. l'eihap- you had belter speak to fa ther, as it is his business. Ik'sides I shall not lie here. I shall be at the llanch." 'But you said you didn't want to gov" 'I've changed my mind," said liosey listlessly. "I shall go to-night.'' She rose as It to indicate that the Inter view was ended. Willi an overpowering instinct that his whole futme happinci-.s depended Uon his next ait. he. made a Mep toward her, with eager outstretched hands, lint she slightly lifted her own with a warning gesture. "I hear father coming you win nave a cnance 10 win. business with him." she said, and van ished into her stateroom. niAt'TKK VI. The heavv tread of Aimer Nott echoed in the passage. Contused and embar rassed, llenshaw remained standing at the loor thut had i losed upon Hosey ns her father entered the cabin. l'rovidenee. which always fostered Mr. Nott's char acteristic misconception, left that perspi cacious parent but one interpretation of the situation, Kosey had evidently just informed Mr, Hcushaw that she lowd another! I was just sa ing 'goodby' to Miss Nott," said llenshaw, hastily regaining IiIb composure with an ell'ort. "I am . ... . ... . . ; .1 . .... .1 111..... going to s-aernnienio lo-mgiu, aim win uui return. 1" In course, in course," interrupted Nott, soothingly; "that s wot you say now, and that s what you auow to uo. That's wot they alius do." "I mean." said llenshaw, reddening at what he conceived to be an allusion to the absconding propensities of Nott's previous tenants, "I mean that you shall keep the luUnnce lo cover any los you might suffer through my giving up the rooms." Curlingly,'" said .Nolt, laying his hand with a largo sympathy on llenslunv's shoulder; "but we'll drop that just now. Wo won't swap hossea in the middle of the river. We'll square up accounts m your room," he added, raising his voice thut Hosey might owrhehr him, after a preliminary wink at tho young man. "Yes, sir, we'll jit square up and set tle in there. Come along, Mr. Henshaw. Hushing him with paternal gentleness from the cabin, with his hand still upon his shoulder, he followed him into the pas sage. Halt annoyed at his lamiliarity, yet nut altogether displeased by this illus tration of Honey's belli t of Ids preference, llenshaw wonderiugly accompanied him. Nott closed the dcxir, and pushing the young man into a chair; deliberately seated himself at the table opposite. "It'b just as well that Hosey reckons that you and mo is ictlliu' our accounts," he be can. eunnlnnlv. "and mebbo it's Just ez well ez she should reckon you're golu' away." "llutl nm going," interrupted llenshaw, impatiently. "I leave to-night." "Surely, surely," said Nott, gently, "that's wot you kalkllato to do; that's lust nat'ral in a young feller. That's about what I reckon I'd hcv dono lo ncr mother if nnythin' llko this bed ever cropped up, which it didn't. Not but what Almlry Jano hail young fellers enough around her, but, 'cept olo Judgo Peter, oz was lamed In tlio war of lMiy, there ain't no similarity ez I klrv see," ho added, musingly. 'I am afraid I can t seo any similarity either, Mr. Nott," said Henshaw, strug gling between a dawning senso of boiiio Impending nbsurdity and his growing pas sion for Hosey. "For Heaven's sako bpeak out if you'vo got anything to say." Mr. Nolt leaned forwnrd, and placed his largo hand on Uio young man's shoulder. "'That's what I sod to myself when 1 fcccd how things woro plnllli'. 'Speak out,' re?. I, 'Abncr! Speak out it you'w got anything to say. You kin trust this yer Mr. Henshaw. He ain't the kind of man to creep Into tho lwom of a innii'a ship for pupposes of his own. Ito nlii'tamaii that would hunt, round until he difcowrcd a poor man's treasure, and then try to rob' " "Stop!" said Hnnshaw, with a set face and darkening eyes. "What treasure? wlint man itro you speaking of?" "Why Hosey and Mr. hVrrors," re tnrncd Nott, simply. Henshaw sank into his seat ugnin. lint tho expression of relief which here passed swiftly over his fuco gave way to one of uneasy interest as Nott went on'. "P'r'nps It's a little high faltitin' talkin' of Hosey ez n treasure. Hut, considerin", Mr. llenshnw, ez she's the only prop'ly l'vc kept by me for seventeen years oz boss nald Interest and increased In valooe. it ain't sayin' too much to call her so. And ez Terrors knows this, ho oughter been content with goitgin' rue In that horsehair spec, without goin' for Koicy. P'r'aps yer surprised at hearing me speak o' my own llesh and blood ez if I was talkin' boss trade, but jou and me is bus'uess men, Mr. llenshaw, and wo d!scusse3 ez such. W e ain't goin' to slosh round and slop over in po'try and .sentiment," con tinued Nott, with a tremulous voice, and a luiud that slightly shook on Henshaw 's shoulder. "We ain't goin' to git up and sing, 'Thou'st lamed to love another thou'st broken ewry vow we've parted from each -ither and my booms lonely now oh is it well to sever such hearts as ourn fur ever kin 1 forget fliee never fare well farewell farewell." Ye never hap pend to hear Jim Haker sing that at the moosic hall on Dupuiit street. Mr. llen shaw."' continued Mr. Null, enthusias tically, when he had recovered from that complete absence of punctuation which alone suggested verse to his intellect. "He sorter struck water down here," in dicating his heart, "every time." "Hut what has Miss Noll to do vv It 1 1 M. de Keirleres'-" asked Henshaw, with a faint smile. Mr. Nott regarded him with dumb, round, astonished eyes. "Hazn't she told ver" "Certainly not." "And she didn't let ou miylhin' about him?" he eontitiuul, feebly. "f-he said she'd like to know where" He stopped, with the relleetiou that he was betraying her conlldences. A dim foreboding ot some new form of deceit, to which even the man before him was a consenting party, almost paralyzed Nott's faculties. "Then she didn't tell yer that she and Feirers was sparkiu' and keepin' kimpany together: that she and him was engaged, and was kalkilallu' to run away to furrin parts; that she cot toned lo him more than to the ship or her father?" "She certainly did not. and I shouldn't believe it." said Henshaw, quieklv. Nott smiled. He was amused; he as tutely recognized the usual truthfulness of love and youth. There was clearly no deceit here! Kcnshaw's attentive eyes saw the smile, and his brow darkened. "I like to hear yer say that. Mr. llen shaw," said Nott. "and it's no more than ltoseydeierves.cz it's siithlng onnat'ral and spell like that's come over her through Ferrers. It ain't my Hosey. Hut it's (io-pel truth, whether she's bewitched or not; whether it's them damn find sto ries she reads and II 's like ez not he's just the kind o' snipe lo write 'cm himself, and sorter advertise hisself. don't jer see she's alius stuck up for him. Thev'vo had clandescut interviews, and when I taxed him with it he ez much ez allowed it was so, and reckoned he must leave, so ez ho could run her olf, yuu know kinder stampede her with honor.' Them's his very words." "Hut that is all past; ho is gone, nud Miss Nolt does not even know where ho is!" taid Henshaw, with a laugh, which, however, concealed a vague uneasiness. Mr. Nott rose and opened the door care fully. 'When he had satlslied himself that no one was listening lie came back and said In a whisper. "That's u lie. Not ez Hosey means to lie, but it's a trick he's put upon that poor child. That man, Mr. Henshaw, hez been haugln' round t lie Pontine ever since. I've seed him twice with my own eyes pass the cabin wlndys. More than that. I've henid strange noises at night and seen strange faces in the alley over yer. And only jlst now ez I kern in I ketched sight of a furrin lookin' Chinee nigger slinking round the back door of what tiseter bo Ferrers' loft.' "Did he look like u sailor?" asked Hen shaw quickly, with a ietiirn of his former suspicion. "Not more than I do," said Nolt, glanc ing complacently nt his pea jacket. "Ho hud rings on his yecrs like a wench.' Mr. Henshaw started. Hut teeing Nott's eyes fixed on him, he mid lightly, "But what have theso strange faces and this strange mini probably only a Lascar sailor out of a job to do with Fer ric rcs" "Friends o' his feller furrin citizens spies on Hosey, don't you see? Hut they can't play the old man, Mr. Henshaw I've told Hosey sho must make a visit to tho old Hanch. Onco l'vo got her thcr safe, I reckon I kin maungo Mr. Ferrers and any number of Chinee niggers ho kin bring along." Henshaw remained for n few moments lo-t in thought, Then rising suddenly he grasped Mr. Nott's hand with a frank smilo but determine 1 oves. "I haven't got the hang of this, Mr. Nc't tho wholo thing gets mel I only know that l'vo changed my mind. I'm not going to Sac rnmento. I shall stay here, old man, until I seo you safo through tho business, or my mime's not Dick llenshnw. There's my baud on it I Don't say a word. May bo it is no more than I ought to do per haps not half enough. (Inly remember, not a word of this to your daughter She must bellove that I leave to-night. And tho sooner you get her out of this cursed ship tho better." "Deacon Flint's girls nro goin' up in to-night's boat. I'll send Hosey with them," said Nott, with a cunning twinkle, Henshaw nodded. Nolt seized his hand with a wink of unutternblo significance. Heft to himself, Hcnskaw tried to re view more calmly tho clrcumlanccs in these strange revelations that had Im pelled him lo cliango hli resolution so suddenly. That tho ship was under the surveillance ot unknown parties, and that the dec ripttcm ot them tallied with his own knowledge of a certain Hiiscar sailor,, who was one ot Sleight's Informants seemed to bo more than probable. That this seemed to point to Sleight's disloy alty to himself wliilo ho was acting iib his agent, or a double treachery on tho part of Sleight's informants, was In cither caso a reason and an excuse, for his own inter ference. Hut the connection ot tho ab- fjird Frenchman with the case, which at fl ret seemed a characteristic imbecility ot his landlord, bewildered him the more he thought of it. Hejec iing any hypothesis of the girl's alTcctioii for tho antiquated llguro whose sanity was a question of public criticism, he was forced to the e(iially ahirmiug theory that Ferricres was cognizant, of the treasure, and that his attentions to Hosey were to gain pos session of it by marrjiiig her. Might she not be dazzled by a picture, ot this wenllhf Was is not jiossible that sho was already in purl, possession of tho secret, and her strange nttrustlon to the ship, and what lie had deemed her inncccnt craving for information concerning tt, a consequence! Why had lie not thought of this before' Perhaps she had detected Ids purpose from the llrst, and had deliberately check mated him. The thought did not in crease his complacency as Nott softly re turned. (To be Continued.)
