CHAPTER XVIII.
Tho Witnesses In the copplce.

Darlington was up early the next
morning. Parkman had procured a
carriage, and. as the meeting had been
arranged for seven o'clock, the two
drove out TO Blythedale hall. whittier
S%trathgate had preceded them the
night before. The way lay along the
strand. and Darlington was not too
prcoccupieh to notice that tho NiObe
was gone and the Britannia had re-
turned. His wife was probably on that
ship. He looked long and earnestly
toward II. IT he had consulted his
%inclinations he would have repaired
aboard of 1t at once and asked for.
%giveness for all his folly and injustice
toward her, but the conventions OF
life-spelled In this instance by
hOnOr-constrained him.
lie gave a thought, too. to the frig.
alto which had departed without him,
For tho first time in his life he had
failed in his duty. Kephard was a
| kind old man, and well-affectcd toward
Darlington, who had been n mldship.

duty was always first and he knew
that there would be no %condoning his
oncnsc. lie expected IN order OF ar.
rest before the day was out. There
after he would come before q court,
martial.
TO what n sorry pass he had
brought his fortunes by his " un'
mistakablc folly! In tho bright light
OF the fresh, brisk morning, he saw
Ellen In her right relation to affairs.
a woman, brave, strong, noble. true.
What II she did not shine amid tho
hothouso conventionalities Of the fast
and vapid life OF the crew whom ha
had gathered at Darlington. In
stead of being ashamed OF her. he
should have rejOlccd from the bottom
Of his soul that she was 80 frank and
fresh and free. What a splendid won
an she was! Whatever she did. how
well It was done! No veteran OF q
thousand exciting nights over tho gam.
Ing table could have played with more
GOODNESS md daring than she did In
that famous duel at cards with Strath
gate. And, although tho minuet wal
outside OF her accomplishments. how
swiftly had twinkled her flying feet
when she danced the sailors horn
pipe. IL carried him back to slant
Ing decks and fresh breczcs and
bright skies. Would they ever re
turn? Would he himself return un
scathed from this adventure? II was
by no means certain. for Strathgate
was a man OF prqven courage; he ha(
demonstrated that, and his reputation
AS a sword player was dcservedlJ
high.

For the moment his intense love for

The thought that at last she would be

moment forget the pressing demands
OF the early morning hour, but further
reflection plunged him into a black III

His rcveries were interrupted
toward evening by the arrival of Park

Richmond. 1t has gone quietly about
its business with no great amount OF

still greater things than it has done il:

Briefly stated. the aim of the Com

ment of the town and to make those
industries which are already here both
permanent and profitable and also Il
do as much as possible for the whole
town in both material and essential
way.
The club has not thought that the
giving of bonuses was the way to at
tract business to town-it has worked
on the idea that If the town were made
