A look of etitiraly, blended with

A l:igh-i lici t took mo roughly by

"Von must not anger rele," if ,nid.
"Tho devil take l'ele," I roared.
"And yon, too! They are murdering

Kaiitiini drew herself up in queenly

T thiuk the first plimtner of return

of (tordou's voice. There was an in
distinct lima all tut mo, people talking
in subdued Miiees and soft footsteps

I feebly attempted to as'c htm what
my illness was, but lu put hist thi'.jer
011 my lips and forbailo inn to speak.
(luidoii shook his head warninjjly,
and I lay in silence, wondering what
I. ad come, over 1110 to take iny Htrentli
away from i.ie.
A dim recollect ion of horri I si ;hts
eauiH to me sights in which Winnie
was beiujj injured in somo way that I
could not understand. I scorned to
remember that I ha I been awny from
home, yet tho room I was in was dis
tinctly my own room at Tho Corals.
Hut my mind was too feeble to ;;ra.su
the true signilliMiico of tho change.
(lordon and Tilling sat near me,
muto ns etatiie.', v.atchia;; mo, I
thought.
I begun t.) feel a delicious drowsi
ness coming over 1110. I closed my
eyes and seemed to bo dropping into
ti sweet slumber. F.veu then, as if the
void eamo from a great distance, I
beard Doctor Tilling say:
"Ilo is goin t sleep. That is tho
best thin,; that could occur. It will
be the Urst natural slosp that ho has
had, nud will do more t restore his
strength than all my medicine. Lot

Consciousness ended thero. I was
o!T.
I do not know how Ion.? I slept, but
I awoko with a slart. thought I
heard s mi i li:it fiil voices chanting a
weird, wild song to l'e!o. When J

llood of tcrrildo recollections. The
high-iniosts, th cruel, hateful priest

lovo mo, and yet who had coiiiji;;uud
my sister to a horriblo death.
1 v;i alone in my chamber.
Turning my liea I on my pillow I
noticed a small tablo standing near
mo, an I upon the tablo a small call
be!!, evidently idaeod thero for luv
! use in the event of my waking when
' no attendant was neu.- as really o.:
curie.l. Tho bell neeme.1 io bo within easy
. reach. I lifted myself upon oao arm
i and tho effort was very great a id
leached out the other to ring for somo
one to come. Tho attempt was t jo
; much for me. I renelied the bell and
;avo it one feeble blow; then T lurched
I forward and fell from the bed onto the
; llo ir, knocking over the tablo and
' sending tho lu ll clattering across tho
room.
Instantly Cordon came rushing in.
"My!" he exclaimed. "What did von
do?"
I looked up nt him from the floor,
R id c- ayed to smile.
Cordon looked disheveled. Ilo was
in bis stoekitig-feet. lie looke 1 thin
and Morn. It was ns if ho had spent
himself watching over my sick bed,
and uhilo J wa.i in 111 y sound :deep ho
iia 1 thrown himself ilowu partly
dressed to get u litllo rest.
He slooped down and picked me 11 ;
in bin nrnis. I had never realized
how powerful ho was. 1 win but a
babe iu his hands, lio replaced me
on the bed.
"There, old fellow," he said, w ith a
liali-;'!ad smile 011 his face, "you just
lie there and keep Mill. Xo more ac
robatic, feats and bell-ringing athletics.
You'd 11 if be left alone again."
"What's the matter with me, any
how ?" I asked, my voioo btiil little
better llni'.i a whisper.
"You have bad braiu-fever," bo re
plied, ns he picked up tho table and
placed it in another portion of the
room and put tho ln-ll also out of my
reach.
"Cordon, come here!" I said,
lie came close to me.
"Whero is she?" I asked.
A white, paiued look came into his
faee.
"We have never found hor. We do
n it kin.w where sho is, Tom. All wo
know is what you raved about wh-n
you were ill."
"I know T know," I said feebly.
"Wiuuio is dead. I saw her killed

was Undo Tom? What did his straii-'i
absence from my sick-room mean? All
these things v.ero hard for me to un
derstand, und 1 was pondering over
them when Doctor Tilling entered.
"Ah, better, eh?" Ii'i said ohonrily.

I 'Nihil bl.v 1 hi' iiio-l remarkable of die
1 oiolii ions of deep sea life Is the cnor
mocs pressure, which varies, of emir: c.
with the depth. At the average depth
-ay. L'oiiii lathonis. the pressure is
."luiii two ions 10 the s. 1 unre inch oi'
sui-t.nc. and at -inn1! fathoms each
sipinle inch of sill i'.tee is sllbjct I lo a
pressure of about four Ions. This
f :i j leil the earlier physicists lo main
tain tliat organic life was Impossible
in tlio ;,ri:il depths. It has been
proved, however, thai animals of nil
classes, except the highest verte
brate., have been dredged from even
the tl'i'iu-sl abysses of I lie ocean.
The great pressure to which Ihcy
have been subjected lias a curious ef
fect oil Ihe deep-sea lisbcs when Ihcy
are brought to the surface. I iuier
liii-sc circumstance, being released
from the acelisiotnctl pressure, they
fall to pieces, as it were. The eyes
bulge out. the sw iin bladiler pr.ilni.Ien
from ihe 11111111I1, the scales fall off and
Ihe Mesh comes off in patches. Now.
these lishos. disreputable as Ihcy ap
pear v.lnn brought 10 the surface,
were doubtless rep' cinble enough itl
their proper habitat. In the depths of
j the ocean Ihcy are doubtless no more
j ooi'se ions of ihe pressure of four or
; I've tons lo th - inch llinii are we of the
! fifteen pounds of atmospheric pressure
under which we live i.u.l move and
I have our being.
Another remarkable i imdiilou of life
t in the ocean depth is thai of pro
, found darkness. M, i n;', ;. . n- i. as
simlighl is ciine.-,-:" .!. it has been
1 found that photographic plates are un

of clcir water, all or the major part
