 They invariably do." put in Jack encoura gingiy.
 Tt is barely two thousand. and-and she has been brought up to something better than that"
 -"Um! They mostly are. Mine has been brought up to something better than that too. That Is the worst of 1t"
 "I believe implicitly in this scheme" said Oscard. Ut is certain fact that the men who can supply pure simiacine have only to name their price for 1t. They will make fortune. and be- lieve that Durnovo knows where 1t is growing in quantities"
 "I cannot see how 1t would pay him to deceive us in the matter. That Is the best way of looking at It." mur- mured Jack rehectiveI. When first met him the man thought he was dying, and for the time I really be- lieve that be was honest. Some men are honest when they feel unwell. There was so little doubt in my mind that went Into the thing at once."
 If you will go on with 1t l will stand by you" said Oscard shortly,
 "AIl right. l think we two together are as good as any half bred sharper on this coast, to put 1t gracefully"
 During the ensuing silence Jack was apparently meditating over the debt of confidence which he still owed to his companion, for he spoke first and quite seriously about himself. which was somewhat against his habit.
 "I dare say you have heard," he said, "that had a-a disagreement with my father"
 "Yes. heard something of t." replied Oscard in tone which seemed to i'm ply that the "something" was quite sufficient for his requirements.
 Tt was about my engagement" Jach went on deliberately. 'I do not know bow it vas. but they did not hit 1t o6 together. She was too honest to throw herself at his bead, suppose. for I imagine a pretty girl can usually do what she likes with an old man If she takes the trouble"
 Not with him, I think. Seemed to be rather down on girls In general said Oscard coolly.
 Then you know himT
 sYes. a little. I have met him once or twice-out, you know. I don't sup. pose he would know me again if he saw | me"
 Which last remark does not rebound to the credit of Guys power of ooser' yation.
 They paused. It is wonderful hov near we may stand to the brink and look far away beyond the chasm- Tears sftervard they remembered this con versation. and it b possible that Jac, Meredith voodered fhen whst instincl it was that made him change the direc ton of their tboaehtA

 "I am afraid that I have not the slightest doubt of It." repliel Jack lightly.

 But at this moment the servant brought in coffee, saying in his mas ter's ear that Miss Jocelyn had gone to bed with slight headache.
 
 During the three days that followed Durnovo's departure from Msala Jack Meredith and Oscard learned to know each other. These three days were as severe a test as could well be found, for courage, humanity, tenderness, loyalty, were by turns called forth by circumstance. Smallpox rages in Africa as it rages nowhere else in these days. The natives fight 1t or bow before it as before an ancient and deeply dreaded foe It was nothing new to them, and it would have been easy enough for Jack and Oscard to prove to their own satisfaction that the presence of three white men at Msala was danger to themselves and no advantage to the na- tiyes. It would have been very simple to abandon the river station, leaving there such men as were stricken down to care for each other. But such q thought never seemed to suggest itself. The camp was moved across the river, where all who seemed strong and healthy were placed under canvas, i awaiting further developments. The infected were carried to spe- cial camp set apart and guarded. sand | this work was executed almost entirely by the three Englishmen, aided by q | few natives who had had the disease. For three days these men wet about with their lives literally in their hands, l tending the sick, cheering the despond- ent, frightening the towards into some aamblance of self respect and dignity. And during these three days, wherein they never took an organized meal or three consecutive hours of rest, Joseph, Meredith and Oscard rose together to that height of manhood where master and servant, educated man and com mon soldier, stand equal before their Maker.
 Owing to the promptness with which measures had been taken for isolating the affected the terrible sickness did not spread. In all eleven men were stricken, and of these ten died within three days. The eleventh recovered, but eventually remained at Msala.
 It was only on the evening of the l third day that Jack and Guy found time to talk of the future. They had

 And bring back Durnovo with you" Jack Meredith looked up with a vague smile.
 That man," he said lightly, lis going to the plateau if I have to drag him there by the scruff of the neck"

STANDS TESTS IN HEAVY SEA
Minnesota Exceeds Expectations in
Difficult Trials.
Hattie ship Averages Nearly knot
starts Back to Newport News.

Boston. Mass, Oct. with her for
ward Geek under water most Of the time,
the new battleship Minnesota went flying
over Tho course from lnonhegan Island,
Maine, to Cape Anne to-day on her four
hour endurance test, and although the
giant ship snorted through the heavy seas
into the teeth Of "A stiff sOutherly wind,
she averaged 1851 knots an hour during
the entire period, which was nearly a
knot an hour in excess Of her contract re-
quirement.
il was a trying day to put even "A big
war ship through high PAGES. but the
Minnesota was more than equal to the
task. and not only were her builders de-
lighted with her showing, but the naval
trial board were loud in their praises OF
the speed Of the vessel.
The Minnesota left Monheg1n at "a
this morning and heading to the south
ward, her powerful machinery drove her
through the seas in fine style. No battle
ship in recent years has encountered such
heavy weather on her tricl trip as did the
Minnesota to-day and her builders are
particularly pleased because she exceeded
the speed Of the Louisiana, a sister ship,
under such adverse conditions on the
way down the course. the Minnesota de-
veloped 900 horsepower and her pro-
peIlers averaged 122e3 revolutions per
minute
