raised her head from his shoulder.

Mamma" did just what Tom antici-
pated when he told her Of his love for
her daughter and bravely confessed
that he had been guilty OF an atrocious
hoax in passing as Lord Carnleigh.
Apologies availed him naught. Even
when Gerald broke In and attempted
TO assume responsibility for the whole
affair and TO explain that Darlington
was rich and really connected with a
noble English family. Mrs. Elkins'
wrath was not abated one jot. In q
storm of passion she ordered the young
man TO leave her apartments and never
again TO intrude his presence on her or
her daughter.
There was a conference that evening
between Gerald and Tom at another
Berlin hotel. with the result that the
next morning. lsng before the hour OF
Mrs. Elkins' awakening. Elnore stole
out Of her room. She was dressed fol
, travelling. Gerald and Darlington met
her In the lobby, and all three entered
a waiting cab,
Two hours later Mrs. Elkins' French
maid brought a large square envelope
10 her bedside. On both envelope and
paper was the Weldon crest. Her as
tonished eyes read the following lines:

The Green Sea.

There is no sea to which the name
green sea is applied in topography. but
The term is used as descriptive of parts
Of the ocean with appropriate signid-
cauce.
Where the gulf stream is detected
from Newfoundland toward the Azores
is the Sargasso sea. the surface OF
which is a mass of floating seaweed.
Its popular name among sailors is the
Green sea nowadays. and in earlier
times it was noticed with establishment
by Columbus and his sailors. while its
weed clad waters were called by others
the seaweed meadows.
A part of the Persian gulf is also
known by this name on account of a
remarkable strip OF wildly green wa
ter which is seen along the Arabian
coast.
Many other large tracts of the ocean
assume this distinctive tint, which may
be due either TO the presence of multi
tudes of microscopic plants or living
atoms or to the depth or density or
sadness of the water itself.
