the way to the court would be without
number. Arrived at the Police Court,
the prisoners are hastily bundled out
again They are then taken to the cells
under the court. and there await the
sitting of the judges, which takes place
at $50 a. N. The sidewalk Is usually
thronged about this hour with friends
and relatives of the prisoners, espec-

race. During the brief passage from

hailed by their friends and relatives.
A number Of amusing scenes always
follow. Cigarettes. plugs OF tobacco.
lunches wrapped in brown paper are
handed to the prisoners TO cheer the
lonely hour, filed with mOnotony and

The policeman's club is between the
entry and the cells a. the First precinct

clubs. When a man goes Off duty he
leaves his stick" here and the racks
usually have a number OF them in their
keeping. None OF your holiday or dress

and beautifully polished. these clubs

climbing to the dizzy altitude Of the
bridge
Suddenly he became aware OF a man
and woman standing sheltered in an
alleyway to leeward. deep in earnest
conversation, and the strangeness OF
their presence there at such an hour
made him curious. Presently the voice
Of the woman came TO his ears. every
word clear and distinct in the compar-
atively shelter of the great funnel.
1T can't be!' she said, pitifully.
"Oh, it can't be! I'm bound TO him
by every tie it Is possible to think Of.
Ever since childhood we've been
sweehearts. and till I met you I loved
him dearly--and he's worked so hard
to be able to marry me! He even paid
for my schooling and bought my pas

But OYerend had heard enough. more
than enough. Like a man in a dream
he walked back to his room and shut
himself IN. He could not think: his
brain was in whirI. and presently
he appeared on the bridge with a curt
intnmation to the first officer that he
could 90 below and turn iu.

he made for his quarters. Thinking
about his marriage. I suppose. And me

nothing but the heaving waste OF
black and troubled waters around him.
Overend's thoughts grew gradually
calmer
His cherished ideal was shattered ::
his golden idol had feet Of clay. The

ears with such cruel distinctness was

tient waiting.
And now-now she had flung him
over for the sake of a man who had
come into her life but yesterday. and
whom she knew by repute to be a
scoundrel! He gripped the wet rail
savagely and looked out ahead. where
the turmoil of the pillows seemed to

He realized now. dimly. that for him
life had lost its SAVIOR; there was moth
ing left to live for. This woman mad

simple, trustful sailors heart was
broken.
He looked at his watch. In ten min
utes the second officer would be on
deck TO relieve him. Then he walked
up and down the bridge-once. twice
with agitated steps. thinking over the
step he was about 10 take Should
he leave letter for her? No, better
to go to his death without a word.
She had no doubt been tempted: she
had fallen; and he could not find il in
his heart to reproach her. But as for
him. he said aloud. though no one but
the moaning wind heard him, may
my curse be upon him,"
A week later the Times" had the fol-
lowing paragraph:

from Australia. reported the mysterious
disappearance IN midocean of her
commander, Capt. William John Over

about 10 o'clock last Monday night.

morning by the suicide OF saloon pas

liberately jumped overheard. sinking
before a boat could be launched. From
inquiries made by our representative.
we learn that Capt. Overend and Miss
Burns were engaged and that their
marriage was to have taken place at
the conclusion OF the voyage. No mo-
tive can be assigned for this double
suicide, and the whole affair wears an
aspect OF mysetery."
