kefore he would see her again. The
thought was maddening to him. He
did not even know where to write to
her. He was not at all sure that the
king would cause his letter to be de-
ate resolution. He would write her
another letter and send it from Wey-
mouth by special messenger to the
king and beg him to see that it was
delivered.
1t was not until late in the after
noon, when the Bellona was fairly In
the channel beating down toward her
destination. that Darlington went be-
low. AS there was no captain yet on
the ship the quarters Of that function
airy by right belonged to him. He
entered them without ceremony. The
cabin on the new ship looked bright
and CHEEKY. Its equipments were rude.
of course. as were those Of all ships
in those days, but they were better
than those in ordinary vessels, the
Bellona being the newest and most ad-
vanced product Of theshipyards.
To a sailor of that day it was both
spacious and delightful sea home. To
Darlington 1t was only a prison. He
did not attempt to enter the state
rooms on either side. but sat down at
the table, buried his face in his hands
and groaned aloud. 1t was the first
moment of privacy that he had en-
joyed. 1t was the first opportunity af-
forded him to give way to his feel
ings, and he INDUCED himself at will.
Separated from his wife. and through
his own folly! The future that had
opened SO fairly before him utterly
wrecked! Three long weary years at
the least, and possibly four. to inter
vene before he could see her again.
He almost envied misunderstanding
desperately for life at Blythedale Hall
and likely to be an invalid for the rest
of his days-because he would be in
England while Darlington was far
away.
He had gone through SO much. He
had drunk so deeply the bitter cup of
repentance that he gave way COM
pletely to his emotions. His body
shook and trembled in his reckless
abandon to his feelings.
This will never do" he said at last.
