Meanwhile it might have been OBJ
served that while this conversation went
on Mr.. Caldwell merely toyed with the
food which he asked Cor. The expression
of his face attracted the attention of Mr..
Masters. From time to time ne eyed
him strenuously. The eyes were blood
shot and dim. Upon his swarthy, gypsy
dark skin lay a sort of weak, greenish
tinge, as though he sat under colored
glass. His coal black hair and beard
were little wild, too-shaggy, I'M
kempt or disordered, as of purpose-an
effect which was assuredly remote from
the desires Of that mans soul. Some
times he'd glance at Trollope or Shan
non, but rarely at the others. He drank
thirstily Of ale and feigned to eat. Mas
tiers, sitting beside Burn, whispered:

of the moment when Miss Mansel will
step forth and proclaim our secret. +"
"Warily now," says the other, whis-
pering and looking down while he piled
his knife and fork. "What have you
heard?"
"Trollope's answer this morning

round at the steward.
HAS she asked to have some break
fast taken to her?" said the captain.
'No, sir, replied the steward. "She
was sleeping when 1 knocked, an hour
ago."
There was nothing so uncommon in a
passenger, particularly female passen-
ger, continuing to rest beyond the regu-
lar time of meals as to excite notice.
Presently Mrs. Holroyd left the table
She was about to enter her cabin, when,
turning to the captain, she said:
shall l look in on Miss Mansel and
see how she does?"
IF you please, madam" says old
Benson, who was standing up.
The table was thinning, when a cry
from Mrs. Holroyd brought him and all
others who were on the move to a halt.
Mr. Caldwell, still seated, turned his
gloomy face heavily and slowly to look.
Mr. Matthews jumped up.
There no Miss ManseI here" was
Mrs. Holroyd's exclamation. She stood
in the doorway and addressed the cap
tain, and her face was white, with sud
den establishment and alarm.
"What do understands" said Captain
Benson, coming from the head of the
table Miss Manscl's not i'll her berth,

He entered the cabin and was follow
ed by the surgeon and mate. A small
crowd of people came to the door.
