The world that waa dark had grown

by the aawe of the roatoratioa of Win

Heleae woald aot listen to any

ia listed that the will ehoald ataad

into thirds. Wiaaie waa to rweaiva

paid aa Undo Tom had desired, bat
they made very little inroad oa the im

Tom's fsrtwna was a fortaae in itself.

"Well, we two kits pulled yon

"I fed it, indeed I do." said Helene.
"I bleae yaw, children," said old
Doctw Warren, be/ore whose sacred
bead I bowed in reverence. "May
Ood'a blessing mt on yon all. You
going away, ao they tell me. Well,
pavhape I shall not be here when you
return, hat take my blessing and lovs
with jam around tbe world."
Oh, wbat kind words ware said that
day. From all aide* the expressions
•* regard warn the aweetest. And the
beavena beamed npon no fonder nor
happier bearta than ours. The day
l»efore we ware guing to sail, Gordon
lounged into the library from the porch,
• here be had been sitting, and saw
aso on a oiep-ladder nailing something
in tbe wall.
"What tbe miacbief are you up to
now?" ha asked. "Have yon turned
snrpenter. gone daft, or what?"
"Xoneofthem."l replied. "lam
oreparing a work of art npon which
fatare gen (rati ana will dwell with awe
nad admiration." *
"Get yonr bend ont of the way so I
mm aee it." he said.
I gare a sail a final rap aad stepped
down. Up oa the wall, orer a coral
bracket, was a girdle of brilliant stones
from which the light flashed in bright
colors. Under it was the legend:
"luaai, the Inatof the Priestesaaa
mt Pele."
Gordon laughed. When Winnie
•aw it she 'aoghed. When Helene
•aw it aha looked grava. Bat I sur
veyed it with pride. It did not, how
ewer. awe any future generation. Up
oa oar retnra froaa oar tow through
America and Europe, Helene, who had
beoome n very wise- sort of wife, toee
the thing down, aad aaed the jewels
far dreja trimmings. I remonstrated.
"I waat to keep that to remember
the day* oa Kapatoli." I said.
She opened bar big eyes aad lifted
War brows saucily.
"Wail, dear, yoa hare me. aad if

yom look at me, I am aare these ban-,
blea woald aot refresh yoar memory."

Where the fair N«un Yalley

mountains ia the distance, the palaaa
and mangoes shading the fertile land,
a aew mansion stands, sarroaaded by
a beautiful lawn. It is Palm Bower,

Which I bare bad inscribed a fitting

Pstua and Ximolau have been imply
provided for, and frequently come to
The Corals or Palm Bower with a sup

of the reward for their faithfulness.
Old Jean Chicot, nearly blind, tot

lingers, and bii worship of Heteae is
Dsthetid and beautiful to see. Like a
faithful dog he watches her graceful
movements, and murmurs to himself:
"Helen— my Helene! Itaughther,
•nd see how beautiful she is!"
And Helene is beantifnl. Her trans
cendent beauty increases with her hap
piness, and in the infataation that has
enthralled me. and will ever hold me.
I can see nothing bat perfect happi
ness, sweetest bliss in oar fatnre.

ill to Admiral Schley and Captain
Slgabee ia Baking corrections of the*
testimony, which had beti given pre
viously. aad th« Introduction by
Judge Advocate l.emly of Uitnicrona
docißoiti bearing upon different
pkaw* of the inquiry. Admiral 8-*hley
d'.d mot make any material additions

When the" court rani ia after re

the run of the flying squailron front

«ip.-dltlously as possible. He I'il'd
the faH that the lowa, which went by
way of Havaaa. made much better
time. Mr. Hanri related the partlcu
lars of the meeting between Commo
dore Schley atid Captain McCalla. as
the former waa on his way to Cien
ftsegoa. "Captain McCalla." he said,
"did not know that Ominodore Schley
waa oa hia way to Cienfuegos. while
Commodore Schley did kiuw that Mc
alla had been tlPere. Under such tir-
cumstances." ke continued, "the ordi

of calling for information fell ii|>n
the senior o«jcr. Yet it is in evidence
th?t the commodore did not rsquri:
anything f:om Captain M '"alia"
Mr. Hanna presented the following
points covering theise specific*! ions
wblcb he said he Jiad uia!e in the
Sorm of lnqulri(«* *
1- Why the flying squadron wee dil
atory In arriving at Cirnfuegos.
2. Why the siuadron was held ther-?
after the receipt of Sampson's order
written and dated off Havana. May Si.
aaying: "Be at Santiago. May 21."
3- Why nothing was done fo commu
nicate with the Cubans after the re
ceipt of the McCalla Bemu anduu,l:!i
May 23; and particularly why the
three light signals which had attrac
ted the admiral, were not Investigated
after Commodore Schley learned that
there wet* Cubans in the neighbor
hood where tuch signals were dis
played.
i Why order No. 6. directing that
steps be trk?n to prevent the mctny
from coatiauiag work on certain now
fortifications was nut obeyed.
•• The nature and causes of t!;s cur
rent said to bare accounted for the
•teaming of the ships off ohnru at
alght. while on blockade at Clenfue
gos.
7. Why after learning positively
I that the Bpanieh squadron was not
there and accepting this report as c.n
rlusire, the commodore sent official
letters and telegrams saying not that
he would leave at once, but on th.' 161.
lowing day.
t. Why the omui' dore failed to te
port to aay high authority that he ao
tually did leave Cieafuegos on the
evening of the 21th. If. as apn«"rs be
did. so fail to report, and genially.

to whether the OghUag ships should

with this sentence, he landed this

of curly reddi-h-brown hair, high color,
straight nose and a decided expression
of scorn on the mouth Altogether a
decided air of distinction rests upon the
face. The man is dressed in the high
