'.Helen," said Abbott gently, ''could
you be content to be queen of Captiva
and Of my hearth
"Oh." she said, eff you win share your
kingdom with me viii be very glad"
And so they returned to Captiva, but
it is no longer a place Of exile. I was
there last summer and had from Nelson
himself something more of this story.
By employ confidential agent ne
was able 20 close up Mr.. Challoner's af-
fairs and reimburse the bank so quietly
that there was no scandal about the
matter. 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hension was withdrawn, and it was an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 a roomy low
rooted mansion. Gardens and groves
sprang up, and the island became
a 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 he is every inch
a king.

companions to utter any remonstrance.
They were at once embarked for the
sloop, where he was placed apart from
the others.
The run to New Orleans, which should
have been made In few days, had be-
cause of contrary winds heightened into
q week, and yet no land was in sight.
The voyage, which was monotonous to
the girl from the start, became almost
uncomfortable. Her father was Ill and
kept to his own cabin most of the time.
Her aversion for the captain was so great
that she could hardly speak to him. But
she finally overcame this in her anxiety
TO know what was in store for Abbott.
Finding him alone upon the deck one
morning, she put the question TO him.
He replied with unfeigned surprise:
81 thought you knew. You heard him
confess that he was fugitive from JUS
tice. Well, found ont what he had
Hill bank of Boston"
"The Bunker Hill bankE' exclaimed
the girl. ''Does my father know thisg"
'Why, had supposed SO. Somehow
I took it for granted that You both did.
But now that you ask me see that It
hasn't been mentioned"
The girl began to speak again, but
checked herself, turned and going to her
fathers cabin knocked impetuously upon
the door. After some delay it was opened,
and she was startled to see how Ill and
worn her father appeared. He had been
writing, as she could see from an open
portfolio.
It required but few words to tell him
why she had come. When she had I'm
ished, he took some papers from the port
folio and gave them to her with shaking
hands.
'I have tried to tell you," he said,
''but had not the courage. But have
prepared this, which you must read and
then give to the man Abbott" He
placed the paper in her hand and gently
urged her from him.
With a heart filed with misgivings
the girl went to her own stateroom be-
fore daring to glance at the document.
It was headed, 1.-THE Confession of Ed
mund Challoner." In the briefest and
clearest phrase it stated that the writer,
Edmund Challoner, president of the
Bunker Hill bank of Boston, becoming
involved in speculation, did, in the year
1S-, abstract from the vaults Of said
bank the sum of $4,000. Furthermore,
he had intended to use this but tempo
rarily and to replace it before the loss
should become known. Failing to do
this, the loss was discovered. Challoner
then intended to confess the whole mat
ter. But delaying in this, suspicion fell
upon the cashier, Frederick Nelson, who
gave color to it by his immediate fight.
Then, as the need of saving an innocent
man from imprisonment had passed,
Challoner kept silence rather than tar
nish his good name and destroy the hap
piness of his family. Then there were .
few weak words to testify how he had
The Goodland republic. [volume] (Goodland, Kan.) 1891-1907, 1893-11-24

suffered mentally for this double crime,
and pathetic prayer to his daughter
not to judge him too harshly, as he had
done it for her sake.
When Miss Challoner had finished her
reading, she was very pale, but composed.
Going at once in search of Abbott, whom
she found sitting idly near the railin the
forward part of the vessel, she placed the
paper in his hands.
tDo you know who an?' she asked,
and as he nodded slightly in answer she
continued:
eyes. I am Helen Challoner. It IS
for us that you have suffered all these
years. But, believe me, never knew un-
til now"
Abbott read the paper through slowly.
'FWhat do you want me to do with
thiss' he asked finally.
''Why, you must use it. Make yoar-
self free. Clear your name of suspicion.
''Have you thought what that means?"
She looked at him with sudden fear in
her wide eyes.
"My father
Abbott had been twisting the paper
tightly in his hands. Now with sud-
den movement he attempted to fling it
from him into the sea. But Miss Chal-
Toner, as suddenly divining his purpose,
grasped his arm and wrenched the paper
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 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; 1--WE shall only
have to take the other one, the real
thief, and let this one co." He made as
If he were going at once to the cabin oc-
cupied by Mr.. Challoner.
''Stop," said Abbott, springing before
him. ''That will profit you nothing.
The reward is offered for the arrest and
conviction of Frederick Nelson re-
member the wording well. I am Fred
erick Nelson, and, as you see, am innO-
cent, and there Is no reward offered for
any one else"
"Weare beaten, said the man, 'sand as
there is no money in it don't care how
the job is settled. for one shall not
trouble the old man"
The balance of the run into port was
uneventful, except for talk between
Abbott, Miss Challoner and her father.
The latter was weak and childish and
begged Abbott's forgiveness.
81 shall go homo and make restitution
to the bank and take whatever punish
nent they see fit to give me, he said.
But Abbott, noting his weak condition,
thought otherwise.
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.
The end came very soon, and they put
him to rest in the beautiful Metaire GEM
etery. As they turned away from the
tomb Helen said TO Abbott:

names

':He, too, was passenger on the Peli-
can"
The girl glanced out shudderingly up
on the sea.
"And now it is too Late" she said.
The old man, who had been listening
to them. arose and walked down the
beach.
"It is time that fellow was back" he
said petulantly. "Does he mean to keep
as here forever
Abbott, with q more accustomed ear
than the others, heard just then plash-
ing Of oars.
s'There is some one within the inlet
now" he said. "It could hardly be any
one but the captain"
They watched, and gradually the form
Of boat drew out from the further
darkness and made toward the beach.
As it touched the shore three men sprang
out and came toward the group waiting
to receive them. The captain was In the
lead, and he came close and scanned their
faces eagerly. Laying his hand upon
Abbott's arm, he turned to the men with
him.
''This is the one, my lads. Make sure
OF him." Abbott made no resistance OF
the men who seized him. t.Now," said
the captain briskly, 1--WE won't waste any
time. We have a good sloop lying out
sides and we viii get aboard as quickly
as possible. We shall put into New Or

II this were history Of cabinets, some
curious and to many people startling
facts might be given. One Is the gem
orally admitted fact that Franklin
Pierce, probably the most obscure man
ever nominated for the presidency, had
the greatest success with his cabinet.
Other presidents have of course sustained
as pleasant relations with theirs, and
some have made more brilliant records,
but President Pierce not only lived ON
terms Of cordial, almost affectionate, as
sociation with his secretaries, but re-
tanned their warmest regards till death
separated them, and some Of them be-
came quite famous. In truth, President
Pierce's personal attachment to Eecre.
tary Davis caused him no little trouble.
The fact that jefferson Davis after
ward organized an ..unpleasantnessr
must not make Ms forget that hs was a
remarkable success as secretary Of war.
James Guthrie was equally successful in
the treasury, and William L. Marcy's
fame as secretary OF state is fxed for all
time. Martin Van Buren, and Millard
Fillmore also lived in very pleasant rela-
tions with their cabinets, but both were
men with whom any gentleman could
live pleasantly. Andrew Jackson's 20.

NEW YORK, Feb %. The United

in bad way financially, unless the
stockholders go pretty deep into their

its directors, said its vessels are not
likely to make many more voyages to

Of the company was made public by
libels filed in the United States court on
four of its vessels.
For many years the business of the
Brazil Steamship company has not

making arrangements with the Brazil
ian government to continue its annual
subsidy OF about 100000 to the line.

country for carrying the mails. A
meeting of the stockholders will prob
ably be called soon, when the question
whether N,e company will continue in
existence will be decided upon.
