and along the deck. one was in
sight. The Cleopatra rose.on a giant
wave and slowly rolled over on her
side. It was moment Mrs. Nolan
was expecting. She ran to the rail-
Ing of the deck, leaned towards the
water and then began to scream at
the top of her lungs. So well was
the moment chosen that not only was
she not seen before she desired, but
it was not till she had uttered half
dozen piercing screams that her
voice was heard by the captain on
the bridge
- A deck-hand was the first to reach
her, and SO well was she skilled in
the part she was playing that she
only pointed to the water and con-
tinued to utter yell after yell:
"What is the matter?" he shouted.
She continued to scream, and point
to the water. -
what in the devil is@wrong here?"
yelled the captain, the next on the
spot. ;. "-@. =
"Overboard!" cried Mrs. Nolan. A
sudden dash of spray filled her mouth
and she coughed. The ship gave a
great lurch and she would have
fallen had the two men not supported
her between them.
"Overboard? Who's overheard %

''Mrs. Goddard" gasped Mrs Nolan;
"She sprang up! was in my room!
She opened the door! / was just
in time to see her break from the
room! She said something was after
her-trying to kill her! She sprang
over there-there! I had caught hold
of her dress, but she tore loose!"
Here Mrs. Nolan began to show
signs of hysteria.- The captain swore
roundly. He dragged the woman to

to occur to her that she had not an-
swered and she said:
Ny first intention was tosstay in my
hiding place until the ship was in the
dock, and it was the most risky part
of the entire undertaking, but, Lucy,
am going to go ashore with the sec
ond cabin passengers. It will still be
dark, and if I am well yelled, they will
not know me in the rush that always
takes place at such a time. Yes, shall
at all events try that "
But where shall ]. meet you?" asked
Mrs. Nolan, frightened by the. pre-
seriousness of the undertaking.
II shall go to the Hamilton hotel, and
wait for you there. You'd better go to
another, and when you feel that you
are not observed go out for a walk and
join me. I shall register as Mrs. Charles
Gray, of Toronto, Canada. When we
meet then we shall go on to London to-
gether. You know you will have to
look after the passing of my luggage
through the custom house officers. Tell
them you are going straight back to
America and will deliver the things to
Mr.. Goddard. That explanation ought
to be sufficient"
The next morning at the hour men
toned Mrs. Goddard was ready for her
bold dash for what she called ''liberty."
She wore simple black dress and a
rather long black veil. Mrs. Nolan had
bravely reconnoitered for her; she had
gone down. at the first bump of the ten
der against the side of the ship and
found the upper decks clear and the
lower one chaos of struggling second
class passengers anxious to get ashore.
Mrs. Nolan returned with an air Of
great relief.

using them as street-sweepers. My
better-half harped on the matter so
persistently that I finally consented
to give one a trial, and 1 engaged a
brougham to take us to a swell re-
ception. The 'doings' were only few
blocks from where we live, but it was
not without some trepidation that

CHAPTER XII.

Mrs Nolan crept into her own room
and went to bed. She had her quota

of associating such an inevita BILE thing
| as death with her misdeeds went
against her inclination.
II feel as if she really did drown

inner-self, land that her dripping
corpse is in there now unknown to

| She was unable to sleep at all. The
ship continued to roll badly and now
| and then waves which raced one an
! other across the deep struck the YES
sci broadside with sufficient force to
break in the portfolios. Indeed, Mrs
| Nolan's mind was too active with the
part she had played, and with conjur-
| ing up possible consequences, to give
itself up to unconsciousness. At
| three o'clock she rose and crept into
| the adjoining room and bent over her

beautiful creature was sleeping as
soundly and peacefully as an infant
THE idea of her taking it so east
~ and me nearly out of my head is
| ridiculous" Mrs. Nolan resentfully
argued. It'll go back and sleep
What's the use to worry? She's run
ming the risk"
But she lay with her eyes open till
the day broke, then as the sun rose
in cloudless sky she looked from
the windoW. The gale was over, but
the waves were still high and looked
like hills capped with snow. It was
the grandest sight Mrs. Nolan had ever
beheld, but she could have desired it
less SO. It's majesty reminded her of
the omnipotence of God against whose
laws she had set herself. Her watch
told her it. was yet half an hour be-
fore the time her companion usually
awoke, yet Mrs. Nolan had already
borne the mental weight of what had
taken place as long as she intended.
She wanted company, so she shook
Mrs Goddard gently. This much-in-
dulged woman was in the habit of en-
tering the waking state by series of
audible yawns and little cries and
these unconscious outbursts Mrs.
Nolan had to stife by holding her
hand over their source. Finally Mrs
Goddard opened her eyes and ceased
to squirm about. = ss~

drowsily. 1T is still dark"

toned Mrs. Nolan Its dark be-
cause the curtains are down. It's re-
ally brightsday."
s'What time is ito"
Eight o'clock
When Mrs. Goddard had risen and
dressed, and they had smoothed out
her bed till it had the appearance of
not having been used, she took her
place. in the closet.
Now she said, fix me, and then
ring for your breakfast. I hate to
sit 50 long cram1ped up here. To gain
time, perhaps it would be a good idea
to order your breakfast and have the
stewardess arrange the room at once.

hurried look round the room and
then saying to the sailor: Take care
of her. he was off to stop the ship.
A moment later the bell rang sharp
ly. The. engines were reversed and
the ship floundered helplessly, dan
gerously, in the trough of the sea.
The boat-gang clattered up from be-
low and there was a faint, storm
muff1ed shouting of commands as a
boat was being lowered.
'Too @ate!" yeliedthe captain. "This
sea would send us to the bottom! Moth
ing can be done now!" -.
There was a moments pause in the
noisy manipulation of ropes and ia ckle>
then the. sailors drew the boat back to
its place and fastened it there: The
ships engines throbbed sluggishly and
there was a attempt, perhaps only for
the sake of appearances, to send the
ship back in the vicinity of the spot
where it was when the alarm was
given; but dangerous head winds rem
dered this impracticable In a few min
utes the Cleopatra was forging ahead
as if nothing unusual had happened.
Mrs. Nolan refused to remain in her
stateroom. She escaped the sailor
when his back was turned and ran
along the deck wringing her hands and
wailing. A group of passengers had
ventured to the head Of the stairs and
stood shivering in the wind and spray.
A woman in this group caught Mrs.
Nolan in her arms and tried to console
T. her.
Don't take on" she said you are
not to blame. She was crazy as aloon.
She told me to-day that the captain had
been hired by some enemy to put her
in irons. What did her folks mean bv
sending her over with just you-such a
frail woman?'
"Oh, I don't know, don't ask me!''
cried Mrs. Nolan. "She's dead, oh. she's
dead!"
The captain was approaching and
Mrs. Nolan showed signs of mysteries
again.
''1'll take her to her state-room, said
the woman.
II wish you would said the captain,
with an oath. "She's as crazy as her
mistress!" = -
The woman who had proffered her
kind offices accompanied Mrs. Nolan to
the state-rOom.
"Now, try not to: think of it, she
said. Il know it is awful, but the poor
thing is better, off as she is than to 90
on having such strange notions. Of
course, mean if there was no cure for
her. and there seldom is, you know"
/ Mrs. Nolan, now that she had such
easy credulity to play upon, saw the
expediency of getting rid of her visitor
so she Gained down wonderfully.
when I once get to sleep I'll be all
right" she declared. II shall want the
door locked. I can't stand the idea of
her, poor woman -
I'll ask the captain to let me stay

Taking up her rug and book. Mrs.
Goddard went to her chair in sunny
spot on the deck. She saw the cap
tain approaching. A critical look lay
in his frank eyes, but she bent over
her, book and allowed him to pass
without a word. It struck him that,
having recovered from her delusion,
she was embarrassed by the remem-
brance of her wild remarks a few
days previously. ..>S

Recital at Grenada College.

Those two popular young ladies,
Misses Bessie Smith and Willie Young,
special pupils in elocution, gave their
graduating recital at the College. on
Thursday evening, April IL. The day
was rather Indictment, and as the shades
OF evening drew on. it was feared that
the bad night might interfere with the
size oil the audience. However, a Large
represe ntative crowd greeted Miss
Bessie Smith as she stepped out upon
the stage, and 10 a charming and i'm
pressive manner, gave Robert Brown
ing's forgiveness" 1.-THE Wager"
by Miss Young, was well received, as
were all Of the numbers given by this
popular young lady. 1.-THE Shadow Of
n Song was quite a transition in style
from the last named number, and
served to show the wonderful pathos
and compass of the young lady's voice.
Miss Smith then charmed the audience
by a trio OF light numbers from Ella
Wheeler Wilcox and Eugene Field.
a short i~btermission was then given,
and the time spent very pleasantly in
social conversation. HE Was Her
Only Son" was given In an impressive
manner, AS was the "Sohrab aud Rus
tum," a masterpiece Of Matthew Ar
nold's. "Uncle Reuben's Baptism "
was a fine piece Of realism, and Miss
Bessie Smith, in the "Shepherdess
Drill" was charming and piquaut. At
the close Of the evenings entertain
ment some eloquent and appropriate
remarks were made by Rev. r. Y. Ram
sey, after which some beautiful vol
umes, in white and gold, were presen.
ted to the young ladies as gifts from
their class mates. Miss Jones was also
presented with a handsome present,
the gift OF her two pupils. This reci-
is one OF many given at this popular
institution throughout the year, and IL
reflected great credit on the College
authorities, the young ladies them
and the teacher in elocution.
