Of the ships bell rang out in obedi-
ence to the command. The hour was
come! 1t was his death signal, but
,O'Neill never turned his head from the
approaching boat. The old quartermas-
ter struck the bell deliberately, linger-
ing over it reluctantly. A little shiver
ran through the men.
"Stand byr' shouted the lieutenant
in asvoice he strove in vain to make
firm "Make a quick jerk and lively
run, lads, for Gods sake!'
The men grasped the rope more
firmly and sprang into position for the
jump. The next couplet was struck on
the bell The boat was nearer now.
Coventry saw that the woman waved
something that looked like paper in
her hand. The last stroke of the bell
rang out on the breathless, silent ship.

murmured, 81 love him, l love him.
She moved-.ah, gigantic hand caught
him by the throat. He strove to cry
out. 1t clutched him tighter and tight

him, shutting out the smiling face
death-agony-he saw no more. He
swung into the air and was nothing.
The quick eye of Major Coventry had
detected ut last what the girl was wav-
ing.
"That paper" he cried frantically as
the last bell struck. ut must be re-
prieve. The admiral has relented."
Was it too late? Quick as thought he
snatched the sheath knife from the belt
of the sailor near him. 1t was too late
to stop the men on the rope even had
he possessed the power. but as O'Neill
rose in the air he caught him around
the waist and with one rapid blow sew
cred the straining rope above, his head.
Assisted at once by the sailor alongside
of him, they lowered the bound, un-
conscious man upon the deck beneath
them. 1t was all done in the twinkling
of an eye. The men on the ship broke
out in ringing cheers.

in its highest sense, give her lesson
in love like to the lesson in honor that
other man had exhibited last night.
For her he stood ready to give up ev-
erything: his own future he did not
allow to weigh q moment in the bal
ance beside hers.
There was something grandly sub
lime in this utter abnegation of self, SO
simply done for another's happiness.
Coventry had been Christian after a
rather better fashion perhaps than
most young men of his time; his asso-
Citations with the sweet, pure girl he
loved had kept him so. All his people
for generations had been churchmen;
this seemed to him to be the right
thing to do, the thing demanded of a
gentleman; the greatest Gentleman of
them all, who had shown his breeding
on a cross, had set the example of self
sacrifice. A sentence quoted by the
chaplain in the service few days be-
fore which had struck his fancy ran
in his head. He had & good memory.
81 will very gladly spend and be
spent for you, though the more album
dainty | love you the less be loved"
Yes, that was it.
At the first moment when he found
last night that his pleadings were Of
no avail aud that O'Neill was doomed
to die his heart had leaped in his
breast at the thought that his rival
would be removed, but he had crushed
the thought as unworthy gentleman
of his high ideals, and there had come
to him in addition consciousness that
to love like Elizabeth Towards the
death of a beloved would make no
change. Such passions come but once
in a lifetime, and when they arrive
they are as eternal as the stars. He
had given her up, and she belonged in
life or death to another. A glance at
his own anguished heart enabled him
to feel for her. Time would not soften
blow to ature like to hers.
In the execution of O'Neill Coventry
saw the death warrant of Elizabeth.
He had passed the day racking his
brain and thinking of some way to de-
lay the execution, but without avail.
He would have stopped at nothing to
save them both. In despair he had
come to consult with his rival.
