.CHAPTER I. Continued.
Bream Mortimer looked embar
rassed. He wriggled a little :md moved
his arms as if he were trying to Hap
them.
"You know," he said, "I'm not a man
who butts into other people's affairs."
He stopped.
"No?" said Mrs. Hignett.
"I'm not a man who . . ."
Mrs. Hignett was never a very pa
trent woman.
"Let us take all jour negative quali
ties for granted," she said curtly.
"What is it. if you have no objection
to concentrating your attention on that
for a moment, that you wish to see me
about ?"
'This marriage "
"What marriage?"
"Your son's marriage."
"My son is not married."
"No, but he's going to be. At eleven
o'clock this morning at the Little
Church Hound the Corner!"
Mrs. llignett stared.
"Will you piease tell me who is the
jrirl my misguided sn wishes to
marry ?"
"I don't know that I'd call him mis
guided." said Mr. Mortimer, as one de
siring to be fair. "1 think lie's a right

"Indeed? My sou will be your fellow

apprehensive.
"You won't tell him that I was the
one who spilled the beans?"
"I beg your pardon."
"Y'ou won't wise him up that 1

"I do not understand you."

"I shall not mention your chivalrous

"Chivalrous?" said Bream Mortimer
doubtfully. "I don't know that I'd call
it absolutely chivalrous. Of course,
all's fair in love and war. Well, I'm
glad you're going to keep my share
in the b,..-iiiess under your hat. It
might have been awkward meeting him
on board."
"You are not likely to meet Kustai-e
on board. He is a very indiffereut
sailor and spends most of his time in
his cabin."
"Thai's good! Saves a lot of awk
wardness. Well, goodby."
"Coodhy. When you reach Kngland
remember me to your father."
"He won't have forgotten you." said
Bream Mortimer confidently. He did
not see how it was humanly possible
for anyone to forgot Lids woman. She
was like a celebrated chewing gum.
The taste lingered.
Mrs. llignett was a woman of in
stant and decisive action. Fven while
her lute visitor was speaking, schemes
had begun to form in her min1 like
bubbles rising to the surface of a
rushing river. By the time the door
had closed behind Bream Mortimer she
had at her disposal no fewer thnn
seven, all good. It took her but a
moment to select the best and sim
plest. She tiptoed softly to her son's
room. Rhythmic snores greeted hvr
listening ears. She opened the door
and went noiselessly in.

He found h'raself fare to fare with
an extraordinarily v"tty girl. j
She was a rt .'.-haired girl w i'r.1
beautiful ivory skin wnok goi.-s with
red hnir. Her eyes, though they were
under the shadow of her hat, and he
eor.ld not be certain, he diagnosed as
grn, or maybe blue, or possibly gray.
Not i'f.t 't mattered, for he had a
catholic tasiY in Judnine eyes. So
long as they were large rtuii '.right,
as were the specimens under his im
mediate notice, he was not the man
to quibble about a point of color. Her
nose was small, and on the very tip
of it there was a tiny freckle. Her
mouth was nice and wide, her chin
soft and round.
Nature abhors a vacuum. Samuel
Marlowe was a susceptible voting man.

hud been lying empty, all swept and
garnished, with '"Welcome" on the mat.
This girl seemed to rush in and fill it.
She was not the prettiest girl he had
ever seen. She was the third prettiest
He had an orderly mind, one capable
of classifying and docketing girls. He
swallowed convulsively. His well
developed chest swelled beneath its
covering of blue llannei and Invisible
stripe. At last, he told himself, he
was in love, really in love, and at first
sight, too, which made it all the more
impressive. He doubted whether in
the whole course of history anything
like this hud ever happened before
to anybody. Oh, to clasp this girl to
him and--
But she had bitten him in the arm.
That was hardly the right spirit. That,
he felt, constituted an obstacle.
"h, I'm sorry!" she cried.
Well, of course, if she regretted her
rash act. . . . After all. an Impul
sive girl might bite a man in the arm
in the excitement of the moment and
still have a sweet, womanly nature.
"The crowd seems to make IMnky
Boodles so nervous."
Sam might have remained mystified,
but at this juncture there proceeded
from a bundle of rugs in the neigh
borhood of the girl's lower ribs p
sharp yapping sound.
"I hope he didn't hurt you much.
Y'ou're the third person he's bitten to
duy." She kissed the animal la a
loving and congratulatory way on the
tip of his black nose. "Not counting
bellboys, of course," she added. And
then she was swept frw. i.in. In
crowd and he was left thinking of all
the things he might huve said all
those graceful, witty, Ingratiating
things which Just make a bit of dif
ference on these occasions.
Sain reached the gang-plang, showed
his ticket, and made his way throngh
the crowd of passengers, passengers'
friends, stewards, junior oflicers and
sailors who Infested the deck. He
proceeded down the main eompanlon
way, through a rich smell of India
rubber and mixed pickles, as far as
the dinlng-saloon : then turned to his
stateroom.
A footstep sounded In the passage
outside. The d.or opened.
"Hullo, Eustace!" said Sam.
Eustace llignett nodded listlessly,
sat down on his hag and emitted a
deep sigh. He twas a small, fragile
looking young man with a pale, intel
lectual face. Hark hair fell in a sweep
over his forehead. He looked like a
man who would write vers libre, as
indeed he did.
"Hullo!" he said, in a hollow voice.
"What on earth's the matter?" said
Sam.
"The matter?" Eustace llignett
laughed mirthlessly. "Oh, nothing.
Nothing much. Nothing to signify.

pruned notice on the wall informing
oc,",:iari' s of the stateroom that the
name of their steward was J. B.

and she appreciated them immensely.
She enjoyed my singing. My conver

"I see. You made a hit. Now go
on with the rest of the story."
"I asked her to he my wife, and she
consented. We both agreed That a
quiet wedding was what we wanted
she thought her father might stop the
thing if he knew, and 1 was dashed
sure my mother would -so we decided
to get married without telling anybody.
By now," said Eustace, with a morose
glance at the porthole, "I ought to
have been on my honeymoon. Every
thing was settled. I had The license
and the parson's f tx . I had been
breaking in a new tie for t'. e wed
ding." ''And then you quarreled?"
"Nothing of the kind. I wish you
would stop trying to tell me . story.
I'm telling you. What happened is
this: somehow I can't make out
how mother found out. And then,
of course, it was all over. She
stopped the thing."
Sam was indignant. He thoroughly
disliked his Aunt Adeline, and his
cousin's meek subservience to her re
volted him.
"Stopped it? I suppose she said.
Now, Eustace, you mustn't!' and you
said, 'Very well, mother." and
scratched the fixture?"
"She didn't say a word. She never
has said a word. As far as that goes
she might never have heard -jay thing
about the marriage."
"Then how do you mean she stopped
it?"
"She pinched my trousers !"
"Pinched your trousear3?"
Eustace groaned. "All of them !
The whole bally lot ! She gets up long
before I do, and she must have come
into my room and cleaned It out while
I was asleep. When I woke up and
started to dress I couldn't find a oll
Ury pair anywhere in the whole
place. I looked every whese. Finally,
I went Into the sitting-room where she
was writing letters and asked If she
bad happened to see any anywhere.
She .she had sent them all to be
pressed. She said she knew I never
went out In the mornings I don't as a
rule and they would be back at lunch
time. A fat lot of use that was! I
had to be at the church at eleven.
Veil, I told her I had a most Impor
tant engagement with a man at eleven,
and she wanted to knqw what it was
and I tried to think of something. but
it sounded pretty feeble and she said
I had better telephone to the man and
put It off. I did it, too. Bang up the
first number in the book and told some
fellow I had never seen In my life that
I couldn't meet him! He was pretty
peeved, judging from what he said
about my being on the wrong line.
And mother listening all the time, and
I knowing that she knew something
told me that she "knew -and she

you it was awf til !"
"And the girl?"
"She broke off the engagement. Ap
parently she waited ai the church

began to get impatient. She wouldn't
see me when I called in the after

for the companion. He. wanted to get

crowded deck. And, as he did so, a
scream, followed by confused shouting,
came from the rail nearest the shore.
He perceived that the rail was black

were all looking into the w iter.

It was the iris of which Ruskln

and a lily for its heart." It is the iris
that is known as the fleur-de-tis of

the United States It is dften spoken of
as the poor man's orchid. There are

varieties almost without number. The

III. The Massage of Micah (Micali
4; 1 ?,l.
In this mess,;0e ;i,e prophet portrays
the blessings of the .Messiah's king
dom in the last das. Three thing
are predicted :
1. The Sllpretmi' y of IPs Kingdom
(v. 1). 1: shali be exalted ahc.e all
the kingdoms of the earth. Its glory
shall attract the people from afar.
The Iixtent of It, (v. 2). Many
nations shall come w.th the urgent re
quest that others accompany them.
The kingdom of Messiah shall be uni
versal, it shall extend from sea to sea
and from the river to die ends of the
eanh.
i!. It Shall Lring Peace (t. 3). En
mity will then be taken from men's
hearts and they will love each other.
When their hearts are hanged they
will no longer wage war against each
other, they will even destroy their
implements of warfare. War will con
tinue till men"s hearts are regener
ated. The way to get wars to ceass
is- to get men to love Jesus Christ.
IV. The Message of Zephaniah
(Xeph. M:!t).
Zephaniah declares that following
the judgment upon the nations God
will turn the people from their im
pure speech so that they may call upon
Him. He declares that Cod's will is
that all nations turn from their tilt hy
conversation and call upon Him. He
; desires that ail nations should come
' into Him.

BLACK-DRAUGHT
HALFA CENTURY
P.-aised by an Oklahoman Who.
After His Father's Example,
Has Used It, When Needed,
for 50 Years.
Grandfield, okla. Mr. G. W. Tls
dale, a well-known resident of this
city, says :
"I have used Thedford's Black
Draught I believe I can safely say
for fifty years.
"I was horn and reared in Texas.
Freestone County, sixty-four years
ago. I have been married forty-four
years. My father used IUaek-Draught
before 1 was married, and gave It to
us. . .
"For forty-four years of my mar
ried life, it has had a place on our
medicine shelf, and Is the only laxa
tive, or live medicine, we use. We
use it. for tTpid liver, sour st "mch,
headache, indigestion . . . I don'l'hink
we could pet along without it, know
ing what It has done for us, and the
money it ha- saved. It is just as
good and reliable today as it was
when we began its use. My boys use
it and they are satisfied it's the best
liver medicine they have ever used."
Thedford's Hlaek-Praught is purely
vegetable, easy to take and acts in a
prompt and natural way.
So many thousands of persons have
been benefited by the use of Thed
. ford's Mack-Draught, you should have
! no hesitancy In trying this valuable
' old well-established remedy, for most
I liver and stomach disorders.
