covering the bills with his hands. But
the chance passenger on the street saw
nothing; he was thinking of his own
affairs, no doubt, and had no inkiing of
the strange thing that passed so close
TO his eyes.
Herricx was himself again in 4
moment, and lie bent forward, eagerly
scanning the bills in his hands, and
counting them feyerishly. There were
40 of them, and each was of the denomi.
nation of $1,000.
Throughout the latter period Of the
young mans misfortunes, he had had
substantially but one wish--to rest.
Res. had many forms, suited to a vast
variety OF individual tastes. To Her.
rick in his day -dreams il had always
taken the form of travel without care.
All paths lie open for a man who has
$4,000, and there is no reason why
care should sit behind him as he rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
'housht ior Tue person VINO had lost
this money. He did not even speculate
upon the manner of its loss. 1t had
passed into the control of one who need
ed it, and that was enough.
He disposed the notes in his pockets,
in the best interests of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with a
dim consciousness that, If it were left
in the cab, it might get the driver into
trouble. The fellow was honest, no
doubt, and Herrick did not wish that
he should suffer wrong. He preferred
TO keep the wrapper himself. and take
the risk of it until he could find some
means of disposing of II that would be
safer than throwing 1t out of the cal
window.

open the shutters. Day streamed -
strong and beautiful. The gas flame
paled. He knew that he had slept IS
he had not slept before In years. In
the mysterious depths of his life ne felt
new strength stirring. but II was only
nascent as yet
A bath and breakfast revived him
still more. He felt the exhilaration of
busy day upon which he was enter
ing. He scanned the papers, but so far
as he could see they had no news Of
the money that had been lost. He was
not conscious of any excitement In
searching for that news. The fear of
detection had quite left him. OF all
stolen goods, money Is the hardest to
recover.
Presently he found himself riding
downtown in an elevated railroad train.
He was going to steamship Office TO
arrange for his journey; then to bank
er's for travellers cheque book.
His pockets were bulging with money,
but there was something in one of them
that he couldn't remember to have put
there. He pulled II out and found IL
to be the brown paper wrapper that had
contained the money. As he held II
in his hand 1t was concealed by his
newspaper. No fellow passenger could
see it; and that was doubly fortunate
because, in plain sight upon the paper,
was a name and address: Herbert L.

est the steamship office. Thrusting the
brown paper back into his pocket, he
left the car and went with the throng
down to the street. He was thinking
about the accommodations he would
choose on the steamer. He continued
to think OF that and kindred subjects
: Yet he turned north on Broadway in.

The cabman named his price, and
Herrick paid him with the five-dollar
bill which had been the sum of his
wealth, and the end of it SO far as he
could. see, SO short time before. He
counted his change carefully, remem-
boring that he would probably have to
wait until the next day before he could
break one of the thousands. Enough
remained to him from the bill for a
supper, bed and breakfast.
When he had found restaurant he
ordered a meal and ate it with relish.
II was enchanted food. 1t was the fare
Of an Atlantic liner, the delicacies OF
European hotels, and the fruits OF the
tropics.
He cared little for his bed. 1t would
be no more than place to lie and
think OF the future. It was many
night since he had really slept. Ger
tainly, with so much upon his mind, he
would not sleep this night. even II he
should try. So when he had been
shown to his room in q hotel, he piled
his pillows against the headboard OF
the bed and reclined against them.
fully dressed. He was very happy. No
question Of right or wrong in what he
had done or what he expected to do
came to torment him. For long time
he had borne his life like tremendous
burden. This had suddenly slipped
from his shoulders. leaving his natural
powers benumbed.

served 10 stave in some Of the ships

badly II was decided thar to save her It
would be necessary TO run to harbor at
once. Shelter was found in Alert bay.
As the Eugene had entered and left Brit-

going through the forms required by the
customs authorities, an effort was made
to seize her while she was In British
territory, and she vas chased forty miles
by the tug Hope which was sent out
from Victoria with customs officers en-

have burned an the bacon aboard tefore
the Eugene should have been overhauled
by her majesty's officers. There is a
chance that the craft viii be seized by
the customs officers here as she was
not cleared when leaving here for the
north 10 days ago. Her case will oe

In the meantime the Eugene is tied up
to the dock with her pumps busily work

officers congratulate themselves that they
