How Corpses Travel mt Sea.

In touching on this gruesome subject
of the disposition and transportation OF
bodies, we wonder how many Of our
readers who may chance TO see a great
box hoisted on a transatlantic steam
er, labeled, Specimen of Natural His
tory" are aware hat it contains a hu-
man body. Yet such is the faCt-and
in such a manne does the entry ap-
pear on the ships manifest. Sailors
have long abandoned the superstition
against sailing with such an item"
among the cargo; but passengers
most of them pleasure-seekers-are al
ways bathed in gloom at such a re-
minder that man is mortal. Hence the
delicate euphimism.

And, bowing, with his old. courteous
grace, he sravely and quietly left the

But once in the hall, his expression
changed, his step quickened.

Tie paused, amazed and wondering,
on the threshold. He had heard the
cry, he la seen the gesture. He had
caught, too, a ~momentary glimpse of
the wonderful light irradiating her face.
What had happened What could have

"Beatrice!" he exclaimed, and ad.
yanced quickly to her side.
But she had been swift, too. to recog-
nize hat he, too, stood pom h brink
of her discovery, and, springing up, she
leaned with her back against the desk,
her hands behind her, striving to find
and press back the secret drawer.

aside, Beatrice: something is wrong"
Silently she obeyed him; but the desk
would tell no tales now.
Their was no aperture n the solid
wood, no crack or crevice which would
ircicate its secret. Yet, instinctively,
she felt distrust.
what were you doing here?" he
asked again.
'sYou care TO know" she murmured.
"Look, then!' and she pointed to the
tiny fly fiuttering on the ledge OF the
desk, some remnants OF the web still
clinging to its frail, exhausted wings.

Poor Beatrice! Poor child! The little
strength she had. so carefully boarded
seemed in this awful moment to desert
her. Her heart refused to beat but in
slow, suffotating throbs, which COM
PEELED her to lean for support against
the wall and gasp for breath.
There was no light in the music room,
and the gas in the library was low; but
she no longer needed light for her
search. The darkness was more favor
able to her purpose. Almost she could
fancy her father stood beside her to
guide and support her. Her dream had
become reality. and invested the mo
ment with singular and almost super
stitious import.
God help me-" she murmured, and
moved noisclessly and swiftly across the
floor, until her outstretched hands met
the solid substance OF the desk.
Again she fell on her knees beside II,
cropping with her trembling fingers to
find the tiny brass knob, whose secret
so strange a circumstance had revealed
to her.
At last they t~ouched-they pressed It.

Had the events OF the afternoon but
shaped themselves into another dream,
more dim, more indistinct, than the
first?
No, no! Her brain was clear enough,
her senses had not deceived her. She
could almost again hear the click of the
spring as the drawer Slid back to its
place.
TO her distorted fancy it now seemed
the bolt which, springing in it's socket.
shut forever the door of hope and hap
piness against her.
Again, and yet again, she strove to
move h knob. 1t would not stirl
"Oh, God, sead me some help!" she
prayed, silently.
But in her throat there rose a quiv-
ering sob, n in the lonely darkness
she hid her pale. agonized face In her
hands.
A sound startled her-a sound quite
~near-almost as II some one were be-
side her in the darkened room.
Was it fancy?-or had heaven sent a
spirit to her aid?
One more effort she must make.
Again she felt her way to the knob.
Merciful God! 1t moved!
Il am saved! am saved" she cried,
in the intensity OF relief, as the drawer
slowly moved forward and her fingers
closed upon its contents.
In her excitement and agitation she
had previously pressed the knob situ-
ated directly beneath the secret hiding
place, but heaven had directed her eff
forts Alright.
She sprang to her feet, and pressed
the papers ~fervently to her lips.
1T remains now, BERTHE, only to prove
your innocence!" she said, aloud; and
these" c%lasping the precious papers to
her heart, give me the power. Thank
Cod! Thank Cod"
But even as she uttered her thanks
giving, some one stole behind her in the
darkness; some ones arm was thrown
roughly about her waist-a hot, reeking
breath burned her cheek-and the pa
pers We're torn from her trembling
grasp.
She uttered ore faint scream.
1t was answered by the sound Of hur-
rying footsteps.
The light in the library streamed to
its full height, but it revealed to RAN
dolph Chester. as he FASTENED forward,
only Beatrice, as she stood, pale, gasp
ing and leaning for support against the
fated desk.
Close behind him followed William
