Henry Clay as young man was ex-
tremely bashful, although he possessed
uncommon brightness of intellect and
fascinating address, without effort
making the little he knew pass for
much more. In the early part of his
career he settled in Lexington, va,
where he found the society most con-
genial, though the clients seemed some
what recalctrant to the young lawyer
He ioined debating society Mt length,
but for several meetings he remained
silent listener.
One evening after n lengthy debate,
the subject was being put to vote,
when Clay was heard to observe softly

hesitation rose to his feet. Finding

tell OF, an got took off. The snow set
them ashore at Barcelona. From there
some o. 'em took ship to Cartagena,
where, as we was short handed, they
joined our galleon.
"Then," said | cheerily "our course
is clear. Wen run to the old harbor to
recruit and refit." And with the deci-
sion felt more hopeful and light heart
ed than | had since first my wounded
leg began to tingle.
When we rounded the bluffs at the
harbors mouth and the foreshore in
front of the cave opened out to view, 1T
was with anxious gaze that those of us
who were hale enough to stand on dick
or to lean against mast or bulwark
scanned the beach and the heights
| above the cave for sign Of human hab-
itation. The island was pleasant
enough spot to dwell in, and some of
the Spaniards might have elected to
] stay and plant a colony there.
But no- a trace of man did we see.
| Our old Notifications lay ruined and
decayed, and in places the quick grow
| ing tropical vegetation had almost hid
| den them from sight. The heavy door
with which we had closed the caves
/ mouth lay half covered with sand, and
the doorposts from which 1t had once
| hung had fallen shantwise across the
| opening.
No, there was nothing to fear. The
| island had returned to the possession
| of the pigs and the gulls and the
| parrakeets, its original owners.
To reach the huts on the high ground
above was for the most seriously
| wounded an impossibility, and SO we
| had to turn the cave itself into our hos
| pital. We regretted this, because we
| had hoped much from the healing yir-
| tues of the flower scented breeze of the
uplands, but there was no help for it.
| All, 1t was time to make the greedi-
| est plumber hunter sicken of his trade!
| The angel of death was lowering round
us and claiming now one good sailor
| and true comrade and now another as
part payment of the price of plrnder.
| Not that we were cheerless company,
| for the old mans caustic wit and VIII
| lie Trehalions cumbersome attempts to
reply to him raised many smile from
| the weaker ones and many loud guf-
| faw from the stronger. And Job Ire
| hallon's grin we had always with us.
But the summons of death came all
| too often, and the tale of sandy rounds
| on the yellow harbor grew sadly long
| In spite of all that the old mans skill
| full surgeoning and John Topp's tireless
nursing could do to shorten IL. All that
| man could do we did, but our enemy
was too strong for us.
| The end of our nursing came at last.
| Some conquered their wounds, and
some their wounds conquered, and
| when the last grave had been dug ane
filed there were but u men left out
| of the two and thirty who had been
hale and strong when the fight for the
| galleen's gold began.

Here is n curious extract from the
court regulations of the Hofburg for
the year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when Invited to the
royal table The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave un-
der such circumstances with great po-
uteness and good breeding. like true
and worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks II necessary to issue
the following directions for the use or
inexperienced cadets:
II. officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed aud not enter the
room in half drunken state.
"2. When they are mt table. they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
80 They should not drink after each
mouthful. as by SO doing they viii very
soon get drunk, nor drink more than
half n glass at Il time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachlos.
"a. They should not put their hands
In the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
"5. They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall OH
their chairs"

sighed, and he left her where she stood
at the window.
The threat contained in that cabled
message from London hung over him
ike weight suspended by the hand
of destiny. That the woman he had
once blindly worshiped would be guilty
of deliberate murder he did not doubt,
and as the time which Jeanne would
take to recross the ocean went by his
fears increased until his waking and
sleeping thoughts contained but one
mental picture, and that was the sud-
den meeting between the two women
and the awful consequences to Blanche.
In the deadly still hours of night he
would wake with start, imagining he
heard sound in Rlanche's room, and
thither he would creep, holding his re-
volver ready for use, only to be greeted
by the sight of his beautiful treasure
peacefully asleep in the light of the low
burning night lamp.
After one of these frights he went
back to his chamber, and for the first
time for years he knelt and tried to
pray. His prayer was short, but he
repeated it over and over with sup
pressed groans.
"Oh, God, in Thy vast goodness heap
the punishment of the vilest of the
damned upon me, but spare her-my
child wife. Spare her, oh, God! Let
not the consequence of my weakness
fall on her. This is all ask, pleading
for just punishment for myself, but
that she be spared from pain or unhap-
piness."

CHAPTER XIV.

Twelve days had elapsed since he re-
ceived that transatlantic warning.
and yet nothing had occurred to sug-
yest that Jeanne had arrived. 1t was
Oh the morning of the thirteenth day.
He was alone i'll his study when the
postman left letter for Blanche. He
took it, and as he placed it on the table
where it would meet her eye when she
came in, he noticed that the SUPER
scription was written in a very poor
hand as if it We're executed by an il
literate person. 1t was Il small cir
eumstance. but Godtlard's mind was in
famed with morbid fears of impending
evil. He sat down at the fire and took
up the morning paper, but the letter
on the table held his attention as if it
contained warning from the Infinite.
He heard Blanche coming, and rails
ing the paper, he pretended to be alb
sorbed in reading, though he was really
watching her face as she advanced to
the table and took up her letter. God
durd saw Il look of wonderment pass
over her face as she opened the en-
velope. \ moment later he heard her
cry out softly:
"Oh!"
He rose and went to her.
what is it, darling?" he asked, his
heart sinking.
ooh. nothing of Importance" She
put the letter into it's envelope and
held it down by her side. sit really
doesn't amount to anything"
But despite this assurance there
was still shocked expression in her
face.
He was actually afraid to pursue
his questions further, being sure that
it was some artifce of Jeanne's. Per
haps some proposal from some con-
federate Of hers leading to a caandes'
tine meeting. Goddard went back ia

heavy and lifeless as stone as he sat
down. She put her letter in her pock-

Twill you not let me see your letter,
Blanche?" he found courage to ask.
"Not now. dear" she answered, aud
it seemed to him that her mind was
far away.
Twill you not tell me it's contents?"
I'D really rather not, dear" she
said, and without another word she
turned from the room.

heard Blanche giving an order tc

stopped at the door just out of sight
and just within earshot of the two.

terious journey. He waited till she
had turneu the corner below the
gates and then went out Of the house
and followed her, taking care to keep
out of her view. He saw her get on
the trolley car, and seeing that he
had ample time to catch the train he
waited for the next car and board
ed it.
When he reached the station the
train was almost due. He saw moth
ing of Blanche and supposed she was
| in the ladies' waiting-room. He went
into the mems wniting-room. and
when the train came he stood at a
| window and watched her pass out and
get into one of the coaches. Watch.
ing his opportunity he glided through
the crowd of bystantlers and took a
scat in the smoking-car in the front
part of the train.

| Blanche's unusual conduct, but he was
no nearer 10 understanding it when his
train arrived at the New York station
| than when he had left Lyndhurst.
