"Late for what?e inquired the gentle. man without glancing up.
 "For nothing in particular" replied the clerk. "I only made the remark be- cause the other Cunard passengers got in an hour ago."
 'I didn't come by the Cunarder. Pu from down south, i" responded the bronzed man. ''I saw her discharging as we came in."
 Then he ran his eye over the names above his own on the page of the regis ter. There were only three-Mrs. Gen. eral Smith, Miss Smith, Nesbit Thorne. Noone he knew, so he slapped together the covers of the book and pushed it from him, procured light for his cigar, pocketed the key of his room and saun- tered out to have look at the city, and possibly to drop in at one of the theatera later on.
 The clerk, in idle curiosity, pulled the register toward him, opened 1t and glanced at the name; it was the fourth from the top, just under Nesbit Thorne's James Dabney Byrd, Mexico.

CHAPTER XXIV.

No; Blanche was not clever womanS that could not be claimed for her; but her essential elements were womanly. Pain, grief, distress of any sort woke in her heart longing to give help and com fort.
 Since Norman's marriage Blanche had drawn much nearer to her cousin. She had always been fond of him in an ab- stract way, and had felt a surface sor- row, not unmingled with aesthetic in- terest, ill the dramatic incidents of his life. She had lived in the same house with him, had associated with him daily, had taken his hand, had kissed him; but she had never known him. She had never gauged his nature with the under standing born of sympathy, never seen the real man. Now it was otherwise. Association with larger, simpler natures had developed the latent capabilities of her own, and the presence of love had made her more observant, more respon- sive.
 Her enlarged sympathies made her yearn over Thorne; her happiness made her long earnestly to help him. She cast about in her mind what she should do. She knew the strength of Berke- ley's prejudices, and that his influence with his sister had been-and still was silently but strenuously exerted to hold her back from course from which, as Blanche suspected. his feelings more than his conscience revolted.

Blanche, differently reared, could not see the matter from the Mason stand point at all. To her the past was past. To be deplored, of course, but not to be allowed to cast baleful shadow on the future. That. to Blanche, was morbid. She could see no sense in drawing con- scientiousness to point and impaling her own heart, and, worse, other hearts, thereon. Blanche's creed was simple people committed faults, made blunders, sinned, suffered; atoned the sin by the suffering, and should then be kissed and forgiven.
 She talked to Berkeley in her gentle. persuasive way (she had not courage yet to talk to Pocahontas) and exerted all her influence in Thorne's behalf; but she speedily discovered that she made little headway; that while Berkeley listened he did not assent; that he put down her efforts, mainly, to personal. attachment to her cousin, and was therefore inclined to rule out her testimony. She needed help, pressure must be brought to bear which had no connection with Thorne; some one from the old life must speak, some one who shared the prejudices and was big enough and generous enough to set them aside and judge of the affair from an unbiased, impersonal standpoint. When this idea presented itself, her mind turned instantly to Jim. Here was man from the old life, man reared az they had been reared, man in no way connected with Thorne. Jim could help her, if he would, and somehow Blanche felt assured that he would. ...-...
 Jim had discovered their presence in the hotel very speedily and had Joined the party, glad with an earnest gladness to see his old friends again; glad also to meet these new friends who had become associated with the old ones. Blanche had been attracted by him as women children and dumb animals always were attracted by him; hewas strong, and yet very gentle.
 She determined to speak to him, tc make him understand the position, and to entreat him to exert his influence with Berkeley, and through Berkeley with Pc cahontas, to set this matter straight. ShG did not know that she was aboyit to do ( cruel thing; was about to stretch soul on the rack and turn the screws.

An armed guard paced their cell door every 20 minutes, but in spite of this they managed, with steel ribbon saws which had been smuggled in to them, to cut asunder the steel bars on the window of their cell. They then pried off the bars, descended from the window by means of ropes made from their bed clothing, and scaling the walls were free.

The mistake is in the word decline, which should, of course. have been decide. She thus gets both leRacies

 good to sacrifice so much of his time to her; she would not detain him longer.
 Jim went back to the path and sat down again, not noticing her change of manner, and only conscious of the relief of being free from the necessity of talk ing commonplaces, of being left to think this matter out alone. He thought vaguely that she was kind, considerate woman, and then she passed out of his mind.
 The first feeling with which he grap- pied was wonder; strange thing had happened. A few short months ago these people had been unknown to him; were, as far as his life was concerned, nonexistent. And now! Land, home, friends, love, all things that had been his, were theirs. His place knew him no more; these strangers filled it. It was strange thing, 8 cruel thing.
 Pocahontas had been glad to see him again, but in her pleasure there had been preoccupation. He had felt it; it was explained now. He knew that she had never loved him, but the possibility of her loving another man had never come home to him before. He tried to steady himself and realize it; it ate into his heart like corroding acid. Perhaps it was not true; there might be some mis- take. Then his heart told him that it was true, that there was no mistake.
