What shall I do now?" , "My lady," said I, "the sorriest part of. the pass to which you have been brought is that you have In me such a poor counselor, a rough sailor, but one who would, nevertheless, give bis heart's blood to promote your welfare, or do you any service." : ' Now, as I said that I laid my hand on the breast of my coat, and as I bent awkwardly enough toward her I could not even bow as gracefully as the little attorney Just departed I felt the paper which I had taken from Sir Geoffrey's hand and which I had en tirely forgotten in the hurry and con fusion of the days that had followed his death. I stood open mouthed With. surprise and shame at my care less forgexfulness, and stared at her. ' "What is it?" .she asked, instantly noting my amaze. . . ; "I am a fool, madam, a blundering fool,''! said I, drawing forth the paper, "here is a' letter addressed to you which I " should have delivered at once," I continued, extending it toward her. - ' ; ' .. She tore open the envelope as she spoke and drew forth a letter, un folded it and there dropped from it a little piece of parchment which I in stantly picked op and extended to her, but she was so engrossed in the letter that slie. did not see my action and paid no attention to my outstretched bund. I looked at the parchment I held in my hand, It was-evidently the half of a larger sheet which had been torn in two. The right half was in my possession.! A. glance showed me that it was a part ef a ' rudely' drawri map. apparently of an island, although lack ing the other half of that I could not be. quite certain, It was lettered in characters which were very old? and quaint, and some, figures in. the upper left hand corner gave a latitude. The outlines of the- map and the letters and figures were all very dim and faded. . . '.' . My lady's letter was a. short one, for she looked up from it presently, her eyes filled with tears, the first I had seen there, and for that reason I was glad she should enjoy this relief. I suppose -the fact that she was so alone and bad no one else induced her to confide in me. ' At any rate she extend ed the paper to the. ' ' "Head it," she said.

A foolish re quest but I am moved to make It as my father made It to me. a. w. . I read it slowly. It was cot a brave man's letter. I liked Sir Geoffrey less then than ever before. Some of the ancient awe and reverence I felt for the family went out of my heart then. "Here," said I. "is the lnclosure to which your father refers. She took it listlessly, but as her ; fiance fell upon it her face brightened. "Why," she exclaimed, brushing aside her tears, "I have the .other half. It came to me from my mother. When be died, five years ago, she gave it to me with much the same account as my father gives.' I have never shown it to any one never mentioned it even.' "Why not?"

"You!" she flashed out In one of those sudden changes of mood, some times so delightful and sometimes the reverse.

She nodded and went rapidly out of the room. In a few moments she came back with another piece of parchment placed them side by side, and the torn and jagged edges fitted Into each other perfectly. I had laid them on a table and we bent over them in great excitement excitement on my part caused by her proximity rather than by the faded, yellow sheepskin. "It Is an island!" she exclaimed.' " "Yes," said I. . , "Where is it?" she asked. I pointed with my huge index finger to the figures in -the upper left hand corner and the upper right hand cor ner 'marked respectively" latitude and longitude. . . v ' - "That will tell us exactly."

"Exactly, and if I had. my great chart of the south seas here I could put my finger upon it and show it to you.
