A LEVIATHAN'S REVENGE.


Copyright, 1891, by c. 3. Lewis.)
We were bound for Altos Island, of
the coast of Lower California, in the
bark Dolphin, to look for an old
wreck of 40 years before. one day
when yet 200 miles to the north Of the
island, a whale suddenly preached
within 500 feet Of our craft, which was
making only about three knots an hour
under light breeze. The monster of
the deep shot to the surface and above
it as if propelled by an engine of 1000
horse power. At least 40 feet Of his
great body was in the air when he
came down with a crash, and the fan
kicked up such a sea that tho bark was
boarded by three waves in succession.
Instead of sinking out of sight or max
ing off the whale kept company with
the vessel and gradually edged down
toward us until a man could have tossed
his cap over the rail on the broad back

Randall took step and then leant
back against cabinet In the light OF
the candle which he held, his face
seemed smeared with a streally mOls-
ture. 'Jove, I can't" he said. All
this has been too much for me. I've
turned sick-a sort of vertigo. You'll
have to go by yourself, and-I must
wait till you come back. For Heavens
sake make haste
Randall sat watching it, as cat
watches the hole whence mouse may
presently creep out. The loud pound
ings of his heart marked the seconds
as they passed.
After a time of silence he got out his
watch. Five minutes more to wait,
perhaps, before knowing the truth,
which all day they had been striving
to get at.
He was better now, though his legs
shook under him is he went to the
door to keep guard. 1t would be as
well that he should know if anyone
were coming before the tapestry lifted
again.
Not a sound-not the tapping Of a
woman's heel on the stair or the bare
polished floor of the hall. All was
safe. Then at last, the familiar click,
and the curtain was raised to bring
Blandon into view once more.
He blew out the candle and set it
down in its place. There were cob
webs on one shoulder and a sleeve, and
he brushed them off.
We'll" said Randall, why don't
you speak? Well-well?"
"It is well-down there"
"What-you mean to say"
Our secrets our own, anyhow. Sew
ernake hasn't been poaching on or
preserves"
THANK Heaven"
Blandon the son smiled with grim
humor at the deVout murmur of Randall
the parent. NO doubt heavens mucn
much obliged for your gratitude
whether it's due there or in another
quarter. Well, there's certain relief in
this, CT course. But the puzzles the
greater. The fellows an imposter and,
so far as l can see, were in no present
danger of exposure. But where has

the hkeness-the amazing likeness--to
be accounted for? Severnake's a devil

the rack.
No, it goes deeper than that. And

of the work long ago, but now it's just as
well we didn't, I suppose. Here's this
counterfeit to be reckoned with, and il
will take all We know or more, for you've
lost your nerve"
Il shall get it back again now" inter-
polated Randall
you'll need it. Look here, let's sit
down and talk this thing over, once for
all, and hammer out some plan of action"
They went back to the dining room, and
Blandon poured out two stiff portions Of
brandy, which they gulped down neat.
If we knew the answers to the two
questions you asked just now" said Ran
dali, who the fellow is and where he
came from, we should have him. with
Serpent Savernake and Tiger-cat Mary,
where we want them. Without much
fear of consequences to ourselves we
could expose the fraud, and the theory
of the body would stand as before. How
the country would ring with so monstrous
am imposture, so incredible, so vile d
scheme to rob me of my title and
money!
Call them yours when you get taem,"
sneered his son. But see here, COVER
nor, they came from America. these two
there isn't much doubt Of that, hence
some of the details of their farfetchcd
story. Why couldn't we find out the fell
lows antecedents and set ourselves in
the position we held before?"
We can try" said Randall. Detect
ives come expensive, and they don't al
ways do what they're expected to; bur
it's our best plan
The best? You mean it's the only
one?"
Il do mean that. You were right about
my losing my nerve, but I'm not done for
yet. 'Scotched, not killed, and so they
shall find out. Tomorrow, Blandon,
we'll set the wires working. If there's
hope of news from America that's the
best and easiest way out. But if they
been too deep for us there, why-this is
good brandy, my boy. 1t seems to have
cleared my brain. It's opened the door to
another plan and given me a glimpse
through. We'd have to lie low for weeks
anyhow. Whatever we do, whatever hap
pens, we must not be mixed up in it in
any possible manner. Caesars wife,

ought to have heard something from

Owing to the circumstances over
which he had no control Mr.. Gallup
made no reply. Such a trife as that
didn't disturb Mrs. Gallup, however,

Owing to circumstances as above
mentioned he didn't, but having
had her say about things she dropped
back on her pillow with feeling that
they were off her mind and whispered:
