OUR PACIFIC ISLANDS Seme We Hare Owned Since 1857, and Which Are Stilt IluluUabited. How many persons know that th United States has possessions In the South Pacific that might bo usod as coaling stations? Did you ever heat of Baker Island or Howland Island? It's a thousand chances to one that you never did, but they have been United States possessions since 1ST7. They have never assumed the slightest degree of Importance, ami even now the officials of the War Department at Washington are not Inclined to boliove that they can be put to a practical use, except in the most dire necessity. Still, that emergency miRlit possibly arise, and these desolate, spots upon a still more desolate sea may yet serve a iturposo heretofore umlre lined of. The exact location of Baker Island, to be accurate, is latitude 13 minutes HO seconds north, longitude degrees l minutes 30 seconds west. Howland Island lies two or three miles to the north. Neither island is inhabited except by sea fowl and a multitude of halfstarved, vicious rats. The latter do not hesitate to attack a human being. At certain times of the year the islands are visited by vessels, which load with guano, which abounds in great quantities. What little vegetation there is Is coarse and seanty. Baker Island has no fresh water, but on Howland Island are several pools of brackish water, supposed to be partially freshened by distillation from the sea. The anchorage is said to bo very unsafe. The former island boasts a movable wharf. It is quite impossible for vessels to load between November and April. Howland Island is two miles long and half a mile wide. Baker Island is one mile long and three-quarters of a mile wide. Aside from the fact that they are out of the usual sailing course, it would seem that the islands would possess little value as a base of supplies. But still there is some satisfaction in knowing that they arc there and that they belong to our government. The time may come when, insignificant ns they now appear, we may be glad of their existence. New York Herald.

CHArTKIt IV. Egcrton's words ' ife Dorothy so completely by surprise that for some time she was unable to think clearly. Kveu the next mnniinc, when she opened her eyes, her first feclinfi waa painful confusion. ' She loncerf to hear whnt Mnliel thought of the wonderful event--she must tell Mabel: Mr. Kserton would not mind that: but to every one else he would be muteno one would know of his rejection. Rut Kjrorton was by no means anxious to eonreal the fact that he had offered himself his old name, his fine estate, his larce Investment to this young, insisrificant clrl "a mere nobody" na the Dowager, Mrs. Callander, was wout lo remark. He did not present himself as early as nanal at "The Knoll" the next day. but mretinp Standish. who had been strollins on the pier ot nn hour when it was chiefly in the wssesion of ancient mariners, he passed his arm through that of ritamlish wi-h unusual familiarity, snying, "I wns 011 my way to have n little talk with Caller der. Will you come with me?" ' Yea, If you like: you'll be rather clever if ;rou got him to talk." 'They npprrachrd the Knoll, at the gate of which they met Colonel Callander. He greeted them with more animation than usual. Egerton told them of his proposal to Dorothy and her rejection of him. Ue begged the two to assist him in inducing her to change her mind. This Colonel Callander readily consented to do, but Paul Standiish did not show nny great eagerness to exert any influence on the mind of his ward. "The only person to whom I feel inclined to confide so important a piece of intelli
gence, paid (he Colonel finally, is to my mother. It is right she should know, ea- i
pccially ns it is probable we shall leave Dorothy under her care when we go away." "Go away'. Who is going away?" cried Egorton sharply, with a keen glance like a stab. "Don't suppose I am going to do anything desperate." said Callander, with a grave smile. "Mrs. Callander and I talk of going abroad for a mouth or two. I want to have a look at the battlefields on the French frontier, and to go on into Switzerland. Of course Dorothy will stay here." The trio dispersed, Standish proceeding along the beach to a long spit which stretched far into the waters. Meanwhile Callander and Egerton walked slowly toward the hotel where the Dowager hod established herself. Here Egerton left him. When Colonel Callander waa nshered into his mother's sitting room ho found her as usual richly and elaborately dressed, and knitiiug a huge coverlet, while Miss Hoothty, her companion, rend .aloud. She gave a cold straight unresponsive hand to her son. "I hope yon are all right after your long day in the open air?" he said, as he
drew a chair near her work table. I
"Thank you. 1 am us usual. I get little sleep. My mind is too anxious to permit of repose!" "That's bad," said Colonel Callander, Toputl,., "Yon neei not stay, Miss Boothby," said the Dt wager. "1 wish to converse with my son." The meek companion rose with a smile and disappeared, "I came to ask yon if yon have nny commands, as I think of goinp; up to town to-morrow. I want to arrange one or two matters before going north." "North! Why, where are you going now?" querulously. "Mabel and I think of raking a trip through the Highlands, or to Switzerland. I think she wants a change as much as 1 do." "There I r-.gree with you," observed Mrs. Callander, significantly. "She has had a worn, distressed look ever since I mean for a considerable time." ' "You think so?" said her son, with a quick, fiery flash from his dark eyes a warning which even his mother dared not disregard. "I trust she has no cause for distress or anxiety at all events she seems to consider the panacea for her ills is a quiet journey with me." "I am sii cerely glad to hear it," with pointed emphasis "pray, when do you start?" "Knrly next week. May I ask what your plans are?" "If you are going away there is no particular object in my remaining. I don't suppose even when you return I shall see much of you." "There is .no reason why we should not be as much together as yon like," returned the Colonel dryly. "However, if you nre comfortable here, and don't mind staying, I should be glad if yon would, because," he stopped and seemed to have lost the thread of his discourse hjs PyM wandering to the window, and evidently preoccupied with some distant object visible to the inner souse. "Well!" said his mother at last, looking up from her knitting with some surprise, "why do you wish me to stay?" Her son looked at her with ii bewildered aspect, mid (hen passing his hnud over his brow, exclaimed: "I beg your pardon! 1 forgot what I wns saying! .1 wished you to stay, bci-nuse Mabel and I intend id be away about six weeks or so, and Dorothy will be lie.-e alone that would be of no consequence, but Kgcrton has just proposed to me for her. It seems that Dorothy refused him, but he very wisely will not take a giri's first no. So be begs to lie allowed opportunities or pressing his suit and " "Kef usee him!" said Mrs. Callander, in a high key.s "She must be out of her miml! He is a match for an enrl's daughter. Why, it will be quite a distinguished connection. Of course she will accept him! she must. Dorothy hts her tempers, and is altogether wanting in a knowledge of what she owes to us, but I always thought there was some moral worth in her." "Ultimately she will do as she likes, but Bjirton ot glit to have a fair chance. Now if you are here he enn see her with yon, under your chnppronngc, nnd Henrietta will probably also stay otherwise " he paused. "I never hesitate to sacrifice myself on the altar of duty," said Mrs. Callander, in 1 lofty tone, "or for the good of others, for I cannot sny I owe any duty to your sister-in-law. but If it is an avcoinmodato you, my dear soli, I will remain until you return." "You see there are no relations or friends to whom we can send Dorothy." "I am quite awn re of that," put in his mother, sharply. Ciillauder did not heed her. "And," he continued, "ctch if Standish could stay on here, he could not he the sort of protection yon can be." "Nor do I suppose it likely he will remain while you are away," reminded Mrs. Callander, sweetly. "Mother!" he cried, "do yon know how cruel you are? Do you know that my life is bound up in Mabel's' in Mabel's love nnd 'ruth. Nothing you say touches my faith in her yet yet you torment me. She is she always will be spotless in the eye s of all men." Ue sprang up and paced to and fro rapIdly, with occasional tierce gestures. "Spotless! my dear Herbert! I should hope "o!" returned Mrs. Callander, with Vliw obtuseness of a hard, unsvuipatlictic
woman. "Do you think I meant anything beyond the necessity of attending to appearances? When a man like Mr. Standish n man of ;he world in the worst sense is seen morning, noon mid night, with a young woman whom some people consider handsome, why " "He silent!" he exclaimed, harshly, turn, ing to face her, with such wrath in his eyes that even the unimaginative old wornan cowered for a moment. "I'liderstand me! unless you ceise to insult me by harping on these hldious possibilities I will never see your face again! 1 should have broken with you Liefore, but that I dreaded thn. Mabel should be outrnged by knowledge of the reason why I dropped nil intercourse with my mother. Could you th'.nk that tweet, simple soul could ever be drawn from her children from me? Is such n possibility comprehensible to yen?" There was keen pain as well ns burning indignation In Lis (one. "The wickedness of the unregenerate heart is unfathomable," said his mother, severely, "and I greatly fear Mabel dues not know where to look for strength. It's impossible to say where unguarded beginnings may lead l'oor weal: creatures, mid your wife, though an amiable woman, is nn doubt easily influenced, iu short, not what you would call a person of strong character." "No, she is not! How should I have got on with a womiu of strong character? I say, mother enough of this. I feel my head dizzy! If we are to be friends " "I will never speak to you en the subject npain," said his mother, with an injured and dignitiod air. "1 have done my duty, luy conscience is clear. I have not left ycu in ignorance! Now, as regards Dorothy " Callnnder was ;gnin pacing to and fro his bend lient down, lips moving slightly ns if forming unuttered words. Then, with nn effort, he repeated as he paused opposi-e her "I)orothy!-Ay! We must not forget Dorothy. Will you stay here and let Egerton come to and fro, sud see her ur der your auspices?" "I shall be hnppy to further an alliance calculated to reflect credit on you nud yours, Herbert!"
CHAPTER V. Colonel Callander had not looked so veil since he returner from India ns the morning he started .''or London. He um;ertooi: various commissions for his sister-in-law, but his wife said she wanted nothing. "I have everything I want, and more than 1 deserve," she added, as she kissed her husband tenlerly at parting. Standish had gone to dine and sleep at a country house at some distance. So the sisters had a very tranquil day, iis only disturbance beirg a visit from the Dowager, who came in unwonted good humor. In the evening, a little to Dorothy's dismiy. Miss Oakeley walked in, just before dinner, to have 1 little talk, she said, accompanied by Egerton and Major St. ,I( hn, who was, Miss Oakeley thought, im. niiMisely struck with her, whereas St. John was equally sure he had made a pi of ou ml in.pressioii on Miss Oakeley. and wss, in consideration of her endowments, disposed to encourage her attentions. The sisters were sitting together in sympathetic silence nt that most witching hour, 'the gloat iing." Dorothy had of course told Mabel of the declaration with which Egtrton had startled her, and was somewhat surprised nt the manner in which Mabel hail received her confi.lenire. She wns not amazed, she murmured somithing about his being nice nnd interesting, and a good match, then she added, "Are you quite sure that yon could not like him, dear?" "Yes, quite sure," was Dorothy's prompt reply. "I used to like him over so much better before. I cannot think what put it into his ln-atl to imagine he wants to marry me." "I don't think it is so extraordinar.i said Mabel, and dropped the subject. While Miss Oakeley held forth with animation about a concert she was getting up and Major St. John put in a word at iutervuls, Egerton moved across the room to where Dorothy was sitting, and said in a low tne: "I ought not perhaps to tresspass upon you, but I want ask pardon for iny precipitancy. Will you forget m;r ill-judged haste and let me come Slid go on the old terms? I will not offend again; not, nt least, till I fpney I maydo so with less chance ot rebuke. I uiaj never reach that happy conviction, but let 111c try." "1 luive eo right to interfere with your coming or going," said Dorothy giftly, "but 1 do not like to give yon any annoyance, and I do not think I shall change." Here both were called to share the consultation, which was rather noisy, and ended iu an appointment for Dorothy to practice with Miss Oakeley at noon the following day. Then she declared she would lie late for dinner, a crime her aunt would never forgive. "There is a very nmusing article nn the 'Aesthetics of Dress' in one of the magazines,' said Egerton. "1 forgot it, but if you will let me bring it over this evening I'll rend it to you" he stond with his back to Dorothy, speaking to her sister. "Oh! yes, certainly thank you!" she returnel, with a little nervous catch in her voice raising her eyes to his and then dropping them quickly. "Ob! Ma :iel dear! Why did yon let him come?" cried Dorothy, ns soon ns the door was closed. "I should have enjoyed 11 nice, quiet evening, and above nil 1 don't want him." "Haw could I refuse?" asked Mabel, pressing h?r hands together. "He had askee'. Herbert and Pnui to id him come and try his ehnnre, nnd Herbert told me." "What? did Paul agree to this?" cried Dorothy :i kind of sharp cry "I thought he knew nn- liettor!" "Well, tliiirest, you know you nre not obliged to marry him." "I am quite aware of that," said Dorothy with decision, "but I object to he tensed." Egerton did not fail to keep his promise, lie wis more than usually agreeable, keeping 111 dor the strain f cynicism that often tinged his talk. He read aloud well, nnd his comments on the paper when he had finished it were amusing, tiie remiirscences it evoked of the various tine Indies, mistresses of the art of dress, interesting; he addressed most of his conversation to Mabel, who said little, lying hack among her sofa cushions us if weary, while Dorothy worked diligently nt u 'uglily ornamei.tal pinafore for her little niece, which wns n Mossed occupation for her t-yes. At length, after a short p.iusc, Kgcrton 'xcl;iinied in an altered voice: "1 urn nfraid I am lsiring y hi. Mrs. Callander. Yiui aro looking awfully ill." "It is that horrid neuralgia!" cried Dorothy, laying down her work nnd going to her sister. "She has been suffering all day would you like lo go to lied, Mabel?" "Let me try mesmerism!" urged Egerton. "She'll have 1111 awfully bad night. Miss Wynn. I'll make n few ikisscs. You'll see how soon the look of I'll in nil! leave her." "I don't half like It!" said Dorothy doubtfully. Egerton came and stood beside the sofa, his eyes fixed on MiiIk-I, I. ! the slightest resistance. -his hand over her face usual with mesiwrisors,
gradually closed, the pniut-rl, contracted expression passed from her face, and site slept the peaceful sleep of an infant. "It is wonderful." whispered Dorothy, who felt an indescribable impulse of pity and tenderness toward the gentle, loving sister who seemed so mysteriously oppressed 1 he tear were in her eyes, nnd her voice faltered as she added: "1 wish yon could give me this power, that 1 might enable her in rest! she seems so helpless." "She is," returned Egerton in a di'P tone full of feeling. "Itnt unless you have the power I could not give it you. I did not know I possessed it lili that strange mystic Itoliciniaii irali:i 1 told you about, whom 1 knew smile years ago at Prague, assured me 1 had ii and made me experiment on some ot her people. 1 am half ashamed of it. 1 would never use my power save to give physical relief. There is a prejudice ngainst it, ton. Perhaps it would lie as well not to inform Mrs. Callander, for instance, that 1 was able to give your sister some repose." "Oh, certainly not!" cried Dorothy. 'The less said the better, people are so illnatured. 1 hope my dour sister will not want your aid any more. 1 shall sit and watch her till she wakes, and so 1 must say good night now."
