The voyage to Valparaiso, and
thence to England. seemed a short
one to Robert Penfold ana Helen,

Arthur Wardlaw. Their course OF

Wylie, consumed with remorse,
came to Robert Penfold as soon as
he learned that the latter was in
England. and told the whole ter
rible, story of vil,any.
Wardlaw, confronted by Penfold
and Helen, and told that they knew
the whole story Of his crimes, went
utterly to pieces. He had been in
a pitiable condition ever since he
learned that the Prosperine, scut-
tied by his orders, had carried his
sweetheart. When he learned that
she had become acquainted with all
his deceit and treachery, and was
affianced to the man he had sought
to ruin, he went insane, and the
walls of madhouse saved him
from punishment for his misdeeds.
The elder Wardlaw, heartbroken
by his sons wickedness, died three
days after the facts were given to
him. He had first made over to
sPenfold & Son" the business of
Wardlaw & Son, as some repara-
ton for his sons crimes.
Roberts share of the treasure
found in the sunken galleon
brought him cheque from Joshua
Fullalove for nearly 100000.
On the day Helen Rolleston mar
ried Robert Penfold the presents
were laid out, and amongst them
there was a silver box incrusted
with coral Female curiosity de-
manded that this box should be
opened. Helen objected, but her
bridesmaids rebelIed; the whole
company sided with them, and Rob-
ert smiled a careless assent. A
blacksmith and carpenter were
both enlisted, and with infinite diff
Guilty the poor box was riven open.
Inside was another box, locked,
but with no key. That was opened
with comparative ease, and then
handed to the bride. 1t contained
nothing but papal indulgences and
rough stones, and fair voices were
lifted in some disappointment.
A lady. however, of more expert
ence, examined the contents, and
said that. in her opinion, many Of
them were uncut gems of great
price; there were certainly a guam
tity of jaspers and bookstores, and
others OF no value at all But look
