CHAPTER vI.-(CoNr1uuED.)


"But Amos" she demonstrated,
what will her mother say?"
81 am going to marry Mabel, not
her mother. The thought of leaving
Mabel in an uncertain position has dis
turbed me all along. / want to make
her my wife before / go to seal want
to make sure of you, my darling!-and
as we are the principal parties in the
matter, we've settled it between our
selves. So, my dear old mother, give
us both a kiss, and welcome my wife,
whose heart is better than all the gold
the earth contains
Needless t. say that the old woman
was won over, and promised to keep
our secret. No one was to know any
thing Of it but ourselves, and it was
left to me to make all the arrange
ments. Perhaps it is as we'll for me
to mention that l had risen to the pc
sition Of first-mate, and that l had
been promised a command at no dis
tant date; therefore my getting mar
ried was not a very unwise or unrea-
sonable proceeding.
1t was not till late that l parted from
Mabel, and I went straight to her
house with the key which she had S:'-
en- me. The night was dark, and as
/ put the key into the door I heard
soft step behind me. I turned my
head, and, dark as it was, I recognized
Mr.. bruce. He stopped within a step
or two of me, and then approached
close to my side.
What are you doing there?" he
sked.
He had evidently not recognized me.
"What are you doing?" I retorted,
"prowling about this house at this time
of night? Remember the lesson l gave
You this morning, and don't provoke
me to give you another"
ooh, it's you, Amos Beecroft!' he
cried, and was proceeding with his talk
when l shut the door in his face. 1
was in no mood to parley with him,
and for Mabel's sake deemed it best to
avoid violence.
l lighted the candle, and sat down
and smoked my pipe, thinking of Ma
bel and the future. Fully an hour
passed in this way. Before I went to
bed, I threw open the window of the
bedroom, and stood with the light of
the candle shining upon me. 1t was a
back room, and looked out, as u own
cottage did, on a little bit of garden.
l saw the shadow of a man lingering
about, and with wrathful thoughts of
Mr.. bruce I ran out of the house with
the Intention of thrashing him if my
surmise was correct. But when I was
in the open air, / saw neither man nor
shadow of man, and l returned to the
house, and slept. No suspicion of the
probable consequences of this incident
entered my mind. If it had But
how can I, of all men in the world,
speculate upon consequences, whose
destiny seems to have been fixed and
determined by fate?

almost in whispers, of the bright prom
Use which life held out for us.
II shall have more than n talisman
with me-" said Mabel, when you are
gone"
More than one, my darling? How
many. then?"
Three she replied. "Hope. faith
and love-"
Faith and love are the best of these"
said I. Faith in each other, love for
each other. Mabel, if / lost faith in
you, l believe that love would go for
ever out of my life"
She became grave at. this.
DO you think" she presently asked.
that you could ever grow to doubt
me?"
You might as well ask me-" I re-
piled, "if l think the sun will not rise
tomorrow. No, Mabel, it is impossible
that should ever doubt you; the mere
suggestion would make me unhappy,
did | not know you are all that is good
and pure and constant"
My answer did not appear to satisfy
her.
Suppose" she continued, with a
woman's persistence, that circum-
stances should arise in your absence
remember the harder task of faith is
yours"
"Why?' inquired, i~nterrupting her.
L should never doubt" she an
swered, with a tender smile. "Know-
ing you from the time I was a child,
and o being always my best and
dearest friend, my love for you and
faith in you have become a part of my
life. So it comes natural to me. When
you first saw me you were a man"
Yes" l said, again interrupting her;
but a man who had never loved any
woman but my mother. Well, go on"
suppose, them" she repeated, chat
circumstances should arise in your abb
sence that might cause people to speak
of me through no fault of mine, as they
did of me and that mani knew that
she referred to Mr.. bruce, and that,
holding him in adherence she shrunk
from uttering his name-"Would a sus-
picion of doubt of my love and faith
ever enter your mind? That is what
l want to know"
And when you know it, will you rest
satisfied" I asked, with a light heart
and in a light tone, "and never think
again of such an impossibility."
Eyes, Amos"
well, then, I will first show you
that I can be as obstinate as yourself.
Do you know of any such circumstance
likely to arise?"
She paused a moment before she re-
piled:
mo; I know of none"
"Then take my answer, my dearest.
Nothing could ever shake my faith in
you-nothing could ever weaken m
love for you. If any necessity really
existed that these words should be
spoken, l am glad that they are spoken
at Christmas. Henceforth this good
season holds a more sacred place in my
heart, because it has brought me the
priceless blessing of your love; be-
cause, also, of the lesson it has taught
me-the lesson of faith, to live forever
undimmed in my soul!'
She held me round the neck, and.
kissing me, tearfully, whispered that
she would never, neyer forget the words
l had spoken.
And so that happy Christmas flew
away all too swiftly, and the day ar
rived when my duties called me away
from my darling,s side. 1 will not dwell
upon u parting. The grief l suffered
is too deep for words. But hope was
before me-hope that perhaps on my
next voyage l should be in a position to
claim my wife, and take her with me
in my ship as the captains lady.

AMBASSADOR WHITE.
Says the Report That He Intends to
Resign is Mere Fiction.

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-Embassador
White, who is taking a short vacation
in Italy, sent the following dispatch to
the Associated Press this evening. in
reply to an inquiry regarding the re-
port that he intended to resign on ac-
count of advanced age:
1.-THE report to which you allude is an
entire felton,
The rumor had caused no little COM
motion in Berlin and several semi off
cial papers have expressed doubt of it's
correctness. John B. Jackson, Secre-
tary of the United States Embassy,
had declared that the Embassy officials
We're not aware Of any such intention
on the part of the ambassador but
Mr.. Whites denial this evening is the
first authentic information on the sub
ject.
Some color had been given to the re-
port by recent unpleasant experience
of Mr.. White, calculated to embitter
his stay here. His landlord is trying
to sell the ambassadors residence to
the Government of the Grand Duchy OF
Baden, which is anxious to secure it for
it's own legation. He repudiates Mr..
w iitS SOlieCltiCIl llidL tIC lease VI
the premises was for the ambassador S
term. Mr.. White finally placed the
matter in the hands of a lawyer. Be.
fore he left for his vacation he re-
marked that if forced to leave the
premises he would resign, as he was
unwilling to undergo again the very
heavy expense and trouble of fitting
up a residence.
While the relations between the
United States Embassy and the higher
German officials leave nothing to be
desired, several members of the EN-
bassy have had reason to complain of
the underling authorities. Thus it has
just leaked out that DR.. Fisk, Second
Secretary of the Embassy, was ar
rested month ago. He was simply an
eyewitness of the boisterous behavior
of number of American bows in a
railroad car, but, on arriving at the
station, he was taken to the nearest
police functionary, who detained him
an hour, although he asserted his po-
sition and offered documentary proof
of it. 1t was only after the arrival of
DR. F'isk's friends from the official res
idence that the police released him. The
next day. on representation from the
Embassy, the laundering officials apol-
Ogized.

Soldiers Buried at Key West.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The citi-

department not to remove the remains
of the soldiers who were inferred there
They have represented that the town
purchased fine lot in the cemetery,
placed an iron fence around it and have
erected an expensive monument, which
is to be dedicated this winter All this
was done under an implied understand
ing that the remains were not to be
removed. Moreover it is reported that
only two of the bodies could be identi-
fed. The department, therefore. will
not undertake to remove these bodies.
Those buried at Havana, however,
about 160 in number, will be brought

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--The Star

ssThere is considerable talk about the
extent of the Senate reorganization

It is generally conceded that General
Clarkson of Iowa will be Secretary of

that is very difficult to determine. Colo
