following.

queer, festive fluttcr about her toilet, was
slightly in the background.
Having approached within few steps of
the woman he meant to marry that morn
ing, Gerald drew back and indicated Syl-
van by quick wave of his hand.
.'This," he said, looking straight at Per-
dita, ''is my brother"
She grew very white, and remained for
few seconds motionless, with her gaze on
Sylvan's face. Then she sprang to Gerald
and clutched his arm.
"Your-your brother?" she questioned.
EYES," said Gerald.
She had not taken her eyes from Sylvan.
Clyde, who watched her now, never forgot
the surge of intelligence mixed with
frightful agony that soon swept across her
features. In another instant her clasp on
Gerald's arm loosened. She staggered
toward Sylvan. Her eyes had now. the
look of being dragged from their sockets.
Her frail, pure throat became scanned with
lines as of straining thews.
"Ohi my God!" she cried. cit all comes
back! II remember!"
In that one last word rang out such
anguish as q perishing soul might utter

"Lucia" exclaimed Sylvan. He ad-
vanced as though to meet her. But even
then she sank to the floor--sank with col
lapse SO quick and terrible that no arm Of
those near by had enough mingled force
and swiftness to break her fall. Gerald
was the first to raise her, and as he did so
a wild cry of sorrow broke from his lips.
He had told himself, in that single fleet
glance at her bluishly altered face, that
she had ceased to live. y And soon
afterward, when she had been borne to a
sofa, Clyde bent over her and verified the
chastity conviction.
ssHer heart has been feeble for weeks"
he said, when no gleam of doubt as to her
death longer dwelt with him. Rising
from the sofa, he gazed with great gentle
ness and compassion at Sylvan, saying:
.sShe was your wife, then?"

At this point Gerald tore something
from an inner pocket. 1.-THE manuscript
and the letter'' he cried, in a voice throb-
bling with misery. 'Take them-burn

Sylvan received the envelope in dazed
way, with shaking hand. The morning,
in spite of its sunshine, had been some

"You are ready, Perdita?" said Gerald
with great gentleness, on . certain morn
ing just three days later.

him in simple dark dress, with bunch

raised her hand and held it to his lips, she
went on: "Who is waiting there, Ger

thought, expensive Mrs. Brawne, might
also call her." but suddenly preferred not
to speak the words.
Instead Of them he gayly said: "The
sun is shining as merry as If it were one of
my old English May mornings. And the
sun is shining in my heart, too, Perdita |!

Her eyes swan in tears rs they dwelt on

Her words ended in q shudder. With
tender force Gerald uplifted her head and
kissed her fervidly once or twice on the
lips. 'These arms are here" he said,

clared that We not only had not robbed,
but had been robbed, and that the truth of
his statement might be verified by search
ing the persons of our accusers. There,
sure enough, underneath their garments
were found our papers and such portions
OF our property as they had been able thus
to conceal. The Cadi was hence convinced
that SANKEY'S story was true, and our ac-
cusers were at once placed under arrest
and conveyed to Broussa, a provincial
city, nearly a days journey from Constan-
tinOple. After some delay and many ad-
journments they were all convicted.
During the pending of the trial, Stanley
and his companions paid several visits to
Constantinople, reaching there at first des-
equal once more to the emergency He
appealed to the Hon. f. Joy Nor
ris, their American minister to Tur-
key, and so enlisted that gentle
mans sympathy that he obtained from
him sum equal to several hundred dol
lars, which he made good after returning
to America. Without waiting for Mr..
Cook, who was still at Broussa, Stanley
compelled his protege to take ship with
him for Marseilles, whence they proceeded
directly to Liverpool sThere Stanley left
me" says Mr.. Noe, ''at the house of his
aunt and uncle, people in humble circum-
stances, who treated me with the utmost
kindness, Wnllc ne MADE trip into w aieS,
where he was born, and where he lived
until he was Is years old, when he went
to America. From his relatives learned
his early history, and that he had pos
sessed the same characteristics as a boy
that he has since exhibited as man."
Stanley's real name was John Rowland,
and he was SO addressed by his aunt and
uncle in Noes presence. 1t was after his
arrival in New Orleans, having secured
employment from a rich old merchant
named Stanley, who took fancy to him
and adopted him, that he assumed his
present name.
Such were his phenomenal will-power
and self-possession that Noe cannot recall
moment in which he weakened in deter
mination or exhibited fear. The most dar-
ing thing possible in any given circum-
stances was the thing he was most likely
to do. While in Turkey he is said to have
become convinced that uniform of a
United States naval lieutenant would be
likely to secure for him respect in certain
quarters and produce intimidation, when
desirable, in others. He had such suit
among his effects, but as it had unfortu-
nately lost the buttons, he procured set
of Turkish ones, on which the crescent
was plainly discernible, as seen in photo
groph remaining in Mr.. Noes possession.
