Co I by A i j ®WW^'W%%V» .> Most of the passengers were at lum heon, for the steamer was still in the channel, and the choppy waves hud small effect on the huge hulk of the liner. Even when the ehutmel should lie passed and the heavy swell of the Atlantic should he encountered there would he little motion and few ill, hut today every seat was taken. Mason Hawley, coming late purposely, scanned the crowd eagerly, then sank into his seat, his face clouded by disappointment. Hawley, despite a fund of commercial common sense that had enabled him to score a business success, was superstitious in many ways. He had been a guest on a houseboat just be fore sailing, and a wet day had been beguiled with fortune telling and similar devices of the rain imprisoned. The seer had been a young womuu whose brunette beauty seemed to sustain her statement that the blood of the Zingarl Mowed in her veins. Adroit guessing, supplemented by positive knowledge in the form of hints from the host, had enabled her to read accurately Hawley’s past, so when she had reached the future he had listened open eared and believing while she predicted that on the homeward voyage he would meet his fate. “She will be on the steamer,’’ the girl had predicted. “You will become engagid before the steamer reaches port, and you will live happy ever after." His reason for taking a vacation had been Betty Llpplucott’s treatment. After a lively pursuit all season Miss Lippincott had withdrawn the favor she had shown Hawley and had become engaged to Hadley Hodge, who had come upon the scene only a few weeks before. Hawley had taken his rejection very much to heart and had come abroad to

seek forgetfulness, with such small success that he welcomed the time of his return. At home he could at least see Betty, and be derived a mournful pleasure from that anticipation. Now the words of the seeress brought him new hope. She had pro dieted that he would meet his fate on the steamer and "live happy ever aft er.” He knew ibat he could not be happy except with Betty, and of course that meant that Betty would he on the homeward hound ship. But Betty’s name was not to be found on the pai sengor lists, nor was Betty’s pretty self to be found lu tbe dining saloon, and Hawley regarded discontentedly the usual crowd of homegoing schoolteachers and tourists who at that season were in the majority. There were half a dozen pretty girls, girls above the average in good looks, Haw ley tel I him-elf ablj that no one who had loved Betty could ever love one of these commonplace persons. That they were far from commonplace he could not appreciate, and he regarded with dull wonder the numerous Mutations that sprang up overnight. After that one quick scrutiny at the luncheon table he had not looked at a single woman with Interest, though many of them were well worth looking at, and be asked himself with dull insistence which of these tiresome persons was written on the cards ns his fate. As the days pas ed and the steamer neared the home port this wonder In creased to anxiety. 11 never occurred to Hawley to ascribe the “fortune to the joking propensities of the black eyed girl. She was of tbe /ingaii. arid the blood of prophecy Mowed In her veins. When they had spoken the lightship and tuoro were signs of home Hawley grew worried. He did not question the workings of fale. hal lie knew Hint only an ncchl'Mit would precipitate an engagement now. By the following day they should ue lu port, and there was nq time for a conventional wooing. Me stayed on deck long after the lights were extinguished. He had made friends with the officers, and

nov. he climbed to the bridge to share tiie watch. I'or more than an hour lie followed the faint sheen of the stars on the bkn k given ■ i as the vessel plowed Its w as thro ig'.i the heavy swell. “Must have been a heavy storm hereabout Into!;.." commented Hie officer. "This ground swell argues a big blow. It must have passed to the southward, ss we got n me of it.” ”Looks like” begun Hawley. Then be paused and gripped the officer’s arm. “There's a small boat out there,” he cried, "and they are waving a slgual of distress.” "Two women In « sailboat with the sail torn to rags," commented the sailor, wli > was more used to lookiug into the night. “I'm sorry wo saw them, because now we'll have to stop. It will cut an hour from our record.” Hawley gasped at the frank admission and wondered if the officer would have seen the boat had there been no passengers on deck. As it was the bridge telegraph sent Its signal to the engine room, and presently the thud that for six days had sounded with steady monotony was stilled, a- I the huge hulk slid through the water. Then the engines turned again as a signal was sent and the slight headway was checked as the ship came even with the cut I Mint, which seemed tinier than ever In comparison with the rue Ing liner. A sailor slipped down u rope ami made It fast to the small craft. Then a second rope was lowered with a noose in the end, and presently the castaways were hoisted to the deck. The (irst was an elderly woman who sank Into a faint as soon as she reached the solid deck. Her younger com pnnlon showed more courage, for she did not faint only breathed a little sigh of relief. Then she looked about her, and us the light from one of the deck lanterns fell upon her face Hawley sprang for ward to (rather Miss Lippincott in Ids arms. For nu instant she lay pat sive, then she gently disengaged herself, and two red spots hurned in her cheeks as she turned to thank the rescuers. “We went for a sail and a storm caught us and blew us out to sea,” she explained. “The squall took our sail, and I think this prevented our being capsized, but we bad only one bottle of water and a few sandwiches. We drank the last of the water hours ago.” One of the quartermasters hurried off for water, and presently it was arranged that Hawley should surrender his room to the two women since all of the stai •looms were occupied. He spent the niglii in a deck chair. As Betty had given her right hand in good night greeting ue had noticed that the left Inckid the diamond which she had worn when he went away, and on that slight foundation he built won droits air castles through the long, sweet Hummer night. Hetty did not appear until nearly noon, but when she came she veriMed Ids hope. She had become engaged to Hodge liecause she had been told Hint Hawley was to announce Ids engagement to a girl not of their sot and she had not v. isliod to seem deserted for another. She had Inter found that the story had been a ruse of Hodge's and had broken the engagement. When they made their landing and Hawley had seen Betty to a hotel he hurried to a cable office and sent a message. "Your skill is wonderful. Just laud ed and am engaged ns you prophe sled,’’ read Lady Muriel d'Aroy, knit ting the heavy brows that shaded Mashing black eyes. "I wonder who lids Hawley is!’’ “He is tlie chap who was with the Ooodlngtiai lemindod her companion. “Hoii't you remember? You told Ids fortune and said that lie would he engaged before he left the boat. He was going back to the States.” Lady Muriel laughed. "'1 hat rich American,” she said lightly. “I remember now. Clara Vassilhigtou was to have gone over on the same boat, and I thought it might lie a good chance for her to make (lie rich marriage the poor child lias I teen seek ing ever since she w as presented.” “And some one else captured the prize,” laughed the man. “1 hope that they w ill he happy.” ‘‘They will be,” aMinned Lady Muriel positively. And this also came true.

A Horso Trade. A prominent English landlord was one day riding across a common adjacent to Ids preserves when he overtook one of Ids tenants, who was also mounted. After the usual salutations they rode on in silence for some minutes, when the tenant slightly spurred his horse, a balky animal, whereupon It dropped to its knees. “What’s the matter with your horseV” asked Ids lordship. The embarrassed tenant remarked by way of explanation that his steed always acted that way whoa there was game to be found. A moment later, to tbe tenant’s satisfaction and surprise, a frightened bare jumped oat of some bushes near by. This so impressed the landlord that be at once drove a bargain by which Ue secured the tenant's barebacked beasi In exchange for his own tine mount, perfectly saddled. With much agility the tenant leaped to his new horse, and all went well until they came to a small stream, whereat the landlord's new nag Immediately balked. A drive home with Hie spurs brought it again to its knees. “Hi'llo! What's up now? There's no game here,” said Ids lordship, i “True, my lord,” was the ready reply. “Init 1 forgot to tell you 'ee’s us good for tisli as 'ee Is for game."

| Legally Dead ? [Oriftlnal ) In the days when Mexico was In a chronic state of revolution Signor Ilerrere lived on his hacienda doing his best to avoid being entangled In any of the various strifes that succeeded one another fez the possession of the government, for to he on the wrong side meant death. Dona Marina. Herrera's eldest daughter, was courted by Signor Juan Hustnmente, a neighbor lag hacienda owner who had done a ? great deal to establish the government 1 then in power. He was more than ! twice Marina's age and was especially disagreeable to her. But she was , urged by her family to accept him on the ground that if she declined him he might seek revenge by impugning her father's loyally to the government. But Dona Marina loved Philippe Meiido7.il, the son of a neighboring planter. Urged to give him up for Bustameiite, through fear she consented, but not for long. She confessed to Bust a men te her love for Mendoza and begged him to release her. He did so at once, with many expressions of grief and wishes for her happiness. By tills course Marina turned what had been feared for her father against her lover. Bustimicntc, thinking that If he got Mendoza out of the way Marina might yet become Ids wife, secretly accused bis rival of plotting with one who was known to be fomenting a new revolution. Mendoza was arrested and taken no one knew where. As soon as the news of the arrest reached tin* Herreras, not suspecting Bustameiite. Marina implored him to use his influence with the president in behalf of her lover. He promised to do so ami sot off at once to the capital os tensihly for the purpose. He knew very well that Mendoza would lia'e Is'cn executed before ids arrival, for lie ha l so arranged with the government. What he wished was to conceal his ow n part lu the murder and gain credit witli M in i that would benefit Ids suit In the future. 'L e is a law In Mexico that one exc uled shall lie left where lie falls till friends nr relatives come and take away the body for burial. But at Men doza’s execution there was no one to claim the body. Hustnmente bad nr ranged that lie he taken to a distant province from which the news of Ids execution would lie long in reaching his friends, especially Dona Marina. Mendoza was taken out in the gray of the morning and was stood up lie fore eight soldiers, who at the word of command fired a volley at him He fell. The comninnder of the firing party took a look at the body and saw that It had several wounds in the thorax and two In the head, any one of which might lie expected to kill him. The sol diers were marched away and a writ ten report handed In that Philippe Mendoza was dead. But Mendoza was not dead. Notwitli standing Ids wounds after the firing party had marched away he revived For a time he supposed that he had awakened in nmithcr world. Yet there above him was the same blue sky he had lived under, and lie could hear cattle low ing. Making an effort, he raised himself on Ids elbow, looked about him and down on Ids blood stained cloth ing. Then, making another effort, he got up and walked several miles to a hospital. He could not keep the secret that he bad been executed, and word soon reached those who had been charged with his execution. Fearing that they would he blamed for neglect of duty, they proposed to shoot him again, [»t before they could agree upon this course the news of the strange case reached the governor of Hie province He had been on the bench, and the only tiling In the world lie respected was the law. He took the matter under consideration, at last deciding that Mendoza had been executed, had been reported dead and was therefore dead That Is, lie was dead In law. Therefore those who had Imhmi ordered to execute him had nothing further to do with him. He was without legal existence in the republic of Mexico. No further report of the matter need be forwarded to the government, for there was noth ing to he said about one who had been reported legally dead. One evening as Signor Bustameiite was returning from a visit to the Herrera hacienda he heard a voice from bushes beside tbe road ordering him to halt. lie stopped, and a man stepped into (lie road a short distance before him. His cheeks were hollow. Ids lips were thin. Ids eyes were wild, Ids face was white. Bustameiite saw ids rival, or what he considered Id rival’s ghost. “Are you of the living or the dead?” *T am dead—legally dead. But that you shall not again have me executed I am a firing party to execute you." The ghost raised a rifle and shot Ids enemy dead. When Mendoza appeared at the Herrera hacienda no one there knew what had become of him. lie told (lie story of Ids execution and that lie had executed the man who had brought it about. His visit was brief, and no one except the Herreras knew Ihat he had been there. The slayer of Bustameiite was never known. Soon after all this occurred a new lender of the party opposed to the government arose, inarched to the capital, took It. executed every member of the government and was proclaimed president. He was none ether than Mendoza When it was found that the new president was strangely given to pardoning malefactors the people said, "How can one who Is legally dead kill others?"
