over the facts-which is all we have
to do with"
That argument did not satisfy
me, though | knew | never could
get beyond it. The strange, the
awful thing was, that the next
time | saw Holker the shadow was
gone.
We made our plans, and soon
saw how necessary my aid was.
/ was thrown much more across the
stoker than Danvers was, and the
initial movement was to drug the
man, to get him into my cabin under
pretence that he was i'll, and there
satisfy ourselves of his makeup. l
shall never forget the grim delight
of the detective when his plan sue
ceeded, and the wretched criminal
was revealed in the insensible man
before us.
That was his last hour of freedom.
He came to, to find himself the
prisoner of the quiet passenger,
Mr.. Danvers. 1t was q terrible
scene. The man could not under
stand how he had been discovered
when the detective said he himself
had not made the discovery. In the
midst of the wretch's frightful
rawlings, we learned that he had
purposely missed the ship he had
been reported to have sailed in,
and had fastened on the Ocean
Monarch. In his chest were found
jewels, plate, money-all identified
as the missing property of the an
fortunate Mr.. Temple.
There was horror from stem to
stern when it was known that we
had murderer on board. Sailors
are superstitious on this point-and
Justly so. / think no one breathed
freely till Holker (that wasn't his
real name, by-the-by) had been re-
moved from our ship. l, myself
was the sensation of the hour, but
l tried to avoid curious questioners
There was something too awesome
to me in the mystery to allow me
to discuss it with every idle tattler
Was what l saw the spirit of the
murdered man, silently crying fol
vengeance? l devoutly believe il
was. But the question l had put
to the detective remains unanswer'
ed-why was l made to play this
part?
The story got into the papers
and l was interviewed by more scien'
tific men of all nationalities than
can remember now. tits years ago
The detective is dead, and the Ocear
Monarch is running her last trip
So all things come and go. AND
it's time l went below and looked
after my engines.

Pooling q Lion.

A hunter was stalking an ostrich
when suddenly he glanced over his
shoulder and saw a lion within sew
enty yards. The beast was stalking
him as carefully as he had been
stalking the ostrich. As he express
ed it, he had been brought up among
wild beasts, and knew their ways as
we'll as those of his own people.
He had only one charge of ammuni-
ton left, and his resolve was taken
instantly. He pretended not to be
aware of his pursuer's presence,
although its conduct told him dis
tinctly that it meditated mischief.
IF could have gained a tree |
would certainly have assembled it;
but none was near. To make run
for one would certainly bring the
lion upon me at once; that was not
to be thought of. So, pretending
that / was still in pursuit of some
thing, l struck a course for crantz
that promised to afford me a chance
Of shelter.
keeping along the edge of the
kloof, l found just such place as /
desired--a drop of four feet to a
ledge thirty or forty inches wide,
and afterward an almost perpend-
ocular descent of fifty or sixty feet,
terminating in quantity of broken
powders rough enough to break the
legs of a baboon or kilp-springer,
if either should happen to fall upon
them.
"With as careless o manner as /
could assume, sat down on the
edge of the precipice and smoked
my pipe, ever and anon taking a
sly glance behind to see where my
foe was. He was evidently an art
full old scoundrel, but / was deter
mined to be his equal in cunning.
"About twenty rods bedind me
were a few ragged bushes. Behind
these the lion had taken up his po-
sition, and was keeping careful
watch Of all my actions. Nearer
me were some detached boulders
which would afford him shelter be-
fore he made his final spring. You
see ! had calculated to a nicely the
animals plan of assault and was
convinced that, being sure of me, he
would defer his final proceedings
until dusk.

clear, and as ready for action as they
ever were.

darkness was rapidly setting in
