Under such spur the laws delays" are easily brushed aside. A few hours sufficed to put a good boat under way for Captiva. with three men in her de- termined upon vinlicating the majesty of tie law and securing the reward of T10.000.
 Meanwhile life went smoothly with the three upon the island. The girl was constantly surprised and delighted by new discoveries. which showed how apt ly Abbott had adapted himself to the hermit life. The conditions were such as forced them into much free intimacy, and it was not in nature that she should fail to become more than ordinarily in. terested in Abbott's personality.
 Her father held aloof and seemed dis trustful of Abbott, albeit he said nothing to influence or prejudice her. This she attributed to the fact that Abbott had confessed himself suspected of crime, while not even asserting his innocence, and that her father could not forget this, even though the man had saved their lives.
 One night the three sat long together beneath the skies talking; in a desultory way. Abbott, drawn on by the girls questionings, had been telling of his life on the island. how it had been so lonely at tirst' then how he had grown to. love 1t and willing to remain there always; then how the desire had grown to clear his name from the shadow of the crime which rested upon it and of the journey back into the world which he had es- saved for that purposes; then how at Vera Cruz he had veered suddenly about.
 "Why did you not go on:' demanded the girl.
 Because l chanced to see there the only man living who knew whether I was innocent or guilty
 "Yes?'' She breathed the question softly, waiting for him to finish.
 "And saw that it was better for one to suffer than for many"
 She reachol out her hand in the dark and touched his in quiet sympathy.

Now with a sud- den movement he attempted to fling it from him into the sea. But Miss Chal- loner, as suddenly divining his purpose, grasped his arm and wrenched the paper l from him.
 "No, she cried, justice must be done you at last" She turned and saw the | captain near them. This is for you,'' she said, giving him the paper. The | captain read it through with a lowering face and handed it without comment to the two detectives who had joined him.
 "Well, this does not matter much to us,' one of them said; we shall only have to take the other one, the real thief, and let this ono go,' He made as if he were going ut once to the cabin Cc- cupied by MT, Challoner.
 Stop" said Abbott, springing before him, 'That will profit you nothing. The reward is offered for the arrest and conviction of Frederick Nelson.' I re- member the wording we'll am Fred erlck Nelson, and, as you see, am inno- | cent, and there is no reward offered for any one elsc.''

I for one shall not trouble the old man, The balance of the run into port was uneventful, except for a talk between Abbott, Miss Challoner and her father. The latter was weak and childish and begged Abbott's forgiveness.

''He can never stand the journey to | Boston," he felt bound to tell Helen. We must make him as comfortable as we can in New Orleans and wait for the end.''
 1 The end came very soon, and they put him to rest i, the beautiful Metaire cem- etery. As they turned away from the tomb Helen said to Abbott:
 "You will go now and clear your name?'
 "And smirch your fathers? No. Let the dead past remain dead. But your"

 Helen" said Abbott gently, 'could you be content to be queen of Captiva and of my heart?'
 ''Oh,' she said, ''if you will share your kingdom with me will be very glad"

"Stdnd back, y0at coMGrds!~ hc shouted. ! There was little need of the order. The crew, realizing their peril, were at the davits and working to lower away. 1 The passengers 'excitedly thronged the deck and hampered the crew and officers l in their efforts. So many swarmed into the first boat lowered that it swamped before leaving the vessels side. The crew, with some of the male passengers, were about to take possession of the sec- ond boat when the stranger who had warned the captain sprang to the rail. ''Stand back you cowards!" he shouted. 1 ''No man shall enter that boat until the women have been taken off
 The lightning showed him standing 1 beside the davits, a pistol raised in either hand. For moment he held the men at bay. Then one hulking fellow spoke, ''They can't go without some ono to ham dle the boat, master Ut will need men and not towards for that"
 | The sailor stood irresolute for an in- stant, and then sprang forward, think 1 ing to catch the other off his guard. There was the flash of pistol, and the big body dropped like log and rolled over into the sea.
 "There will2be no more trouble now" said the stranger. but we have no time to lose. Hand the women forward" Close beside him stood an old man and a young woman. evidently his daughter. These two hung back, and the young man touched the older one impatiently upon the arm.
 ':Come, sir,' he said, "the ship is breaking up: Let us get the lady into the boat"
 The girl threw herself upon her fa- ther's bosom. "Oh, cannot go until you do," she cried. If we must die, let us die together
 No, Helen, be brave. Go, and I will take my chance with the others"
 The boat was filling rapidly.
 You are too late now," said the stranger. Perhaps it is just as well. The boat is too full to last in such a sea-"
 As each succeeding boat was filled the father and daughter still drew back be- cause they could not secure places with out becoming separated. As the last one was lowered the young man seized the girl bodily and swung her safely in- to it, then, giving his hand to her father, assisted him to place beside her. 9th CTS followed rapidly, and when the boat was ready to pull away only himself and the captain remained upon the ship. ''Shall we go?'' asked the latter of his companion.
 What is the use! She may get away as it is, although think she has more now than she can carry. But with two more''-he finished. with suggestive shake of his head.
 The young girl, perceiving his deter imitation. started to her feet.
 ''Father! We must not go," she cried. Don't you see he has given lis chance to us?"
 But her protest was of no avail, as the oarsmen were already pulling away from the dangerous proximity of the ship. When the boat was fairly away, the two men faced each other questioningly.
 "We have yet one chance" said the captain.

It would save g. great dealiof annoyance if women in villages and small towns fol- lowed the example of their city sisters and had a day to be "at home" to their friends.

 It required but 8 few moments to splice some blanks together and launch them into the sea, but the task was com pleted none too soon. The waves had carried them only 8 little way off when the ship broke in two where it hung upon the rock and went down amid 8 gurgle and swirl of black waters that sucked into it's maelstrom every floating particle that swam within it's reach.
 The two men with difficulty main tained their hold upon the slender means that lay between themselves and death. Through the long night they were tossed to and fro, the wash of the waves all the time carrying them further seaward.
 When morning came, they scanned the horizon anxiously for any sign of land or of their missing companions. Far away to the east lay the white line of breakers that marked the reef where the ship struck.
 Beyond that lies Captiva." said the young man.
 ''It might as we'll be thousand miles, !" replied the captain. "We can never reach it."
 AS the light grew stronger they made out faint, black speck upon the water a long way off, yet nearer than the reef and between themselves and it. Both men watched it long time in silence.
 Ut is a boat" said the captain, ''and bottom up. Some Of the poor souls have gone, but only by little shorter route than we shall"
 ''It is drifting this way" said the other, s.but more slowly than we, be- cause it lies deeper in the water. If we could paddle toward it or even hold our- selves here"-
 The men looked down upon the bare blanks of the raft, then, moved by a common impulse, threw themselves prostrate upon it and began to paddle with their hands against the beating waves. It was slow and exhausting work, but for an hour they continued their effort steadily. At the end of that time they were perceptibly nearer the boat.
 The sun was now hot and fierce, and unprotected from it's scorching rays, and without food or drink, the men were beginning to give way under the strain. Still they toiled desperately on. They became dizzy from the glare of light upon the water, yet kept their eyes fixed steadily toward the boat. It was high noon before they were near enough to feel safe in resting. Then the captain, after 8 long and steady look toward the

The reward for his own appre- hension was withdrawn, and it was an nounced by the bank that he had been unjustly accused. But Helen was so charmed with Captiva that she did not care for any other home. So the little cabin gave way to roomy low roofed mansion. Gardens and groves sprang up, and the island became 8 little earthly paradise. The inlet has been deepened, and now when storms blow ships find safe refuge behind the reef. And the fame of the king and queen of Captiva has gone so far abroad that many pleasure yacht puts in for the purpose of enjoying their generous hospitality. And the men who come away say of Helen Challoner that she is queen among women, and the women say of her husband that le is every inch king,

IS A TOTAL LOSS.
Last of the Wrecked CITY
of New York.
: Pontoons Cannot Save the Vessel
Now-The Pacific Mail Company
Was Too Confident.

Like the Danish King OF yore the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company thought to command
the ocean and bid IL roll backward while the
employees of the corporation saved the remains
of the City of New York. And, similar to the
experience of the selfsame monarch, the mo-
nopoly has discovered that the tide Of the ocean
and the surf off Point Bonita are not governed
by trusts, nor rendered subservient TO human
Whims.
AS predicted In THE CALL many weeks ago,
the City OF New York has proved total loss.
The silence OF Manager Schwerin and the air
mystery surrounding the sanctum of the Paci-
&c Mail Company's Office have failed 10 sup
pressIthe news from the public that the stranded
steamer is just where all level-headed and SEN
sible persons predicted it would be when a
southwest. gale struck the harbor full six
fathoms deep.

vessel the long waits for Favorable weather"
and the rumors of pontoons and pumps
has been too often told to bear repetition. Let
it be said as an end TO this farce of Saving a
wrecked steamer" that the Mail Company has
failed fnglorlously 10 float the hulk, has spent
S35. 600 trying TO do so and has been rebuked
by nature for having been foolish enough TO

sea would continue and make 1t possible to get
