CHAPTER XIII.
The kinq's Jest.

A short time after two boats pulled
away from the Britannia. In one of
them sat the majesty of England.
There was more rufiling of bugles,
more rolling of drums. more blaring of
trumpets, more laundering of guns,
more hurrahing from the men, as the
little king, thoroughly delighted with
his royal clemency, was rowed back
to the shore.
The other boat departed shortly
after the kings. without exciting the
slightest attention. The officer of the
deck escorted Darlington over the side,
shook hands with him and the boat
pulled away to the Bellona, hand
some 32-gun frigate fresh from the
shipyards and ready for her maiden
cruise. which lay near by.
Darlington was received there with
some ceremony. His arrival had been
expected. Parkman, who had been
transferred from the Renown. met him
at the gangway and the two shook
hands ferventy.
Il am ordered to this ship, Jack, as
first lieutenant" said Darlington
gloomiiy. as they turned and walked
aft. Here are my papers. AS you
will see, | am directed to assume
charge. the captain not being aboard
and take the ship around to Wey
mouth, where he will join u.s."
And the Court-martial?' asked
Parkman.
"The king hath pardoned me-"

frigate shot ahead and presently clap
ping on more canvas bore swiftly
down the river.
Darlington stared long and desper-
ately back toward the shores, fast
for, for no man questioned the hon
esty, sincerity or kindliness of George
the Third 1t would be three years
before 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
livered to her. He came to a desper-
ate resolution. He would write heI
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
ary by right belonged to him. He
entered them without ceremony. The
cabin on the new ship looked bright
and CHEEKY. It's 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 adj
vanced product of theshipyards.
To sailor of that day it was both a
spacious and delightful sea home. To
Darlington it 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
moment of privacy that he had en-
joyed. 1t was the first opportunity az
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 rathgate-fghting
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
My punishment seems greater than !
can bear and yet / must bear it;
! must show myself a man for her."

theories, such as oxidation of the
metal, burning of some of the com
ponent parts, absorption of sulphur
from fuel, etc, were commonly adj
vanced to account for the facts.
"In order TO study the effects of
heat on metals, Mr.. Outerbridge pre-
pared a number of test-bars, all of the
same size, of cast iron, wrought iron,
steel, copper and bronze. These bars
which were exactly one foot long
and one inch square section-were
inclosed in an iron pipe about two feet
long, the ends of the pipe being lined
with fire-clay.
The pipe containing the bars was
then placed in gas-furnace and heat
ed for about ten hours to a high tenn
perature, but not sufficiently high to
soften the pipe or melt the testbars.
THE pipe was allowed to cool down
over night before opening, and the
inclosed test-bars taken out when
quite cold and accurately measured.
The cast-iron bars differed from all
o. the others in that they had all
grown permanently longer and thick
err; the bars of steel showed, on the
contrary, very slight diminutioa in
dimensions, while the other metal
bars were unchanged in size.
These tests were then repeated
many times, and, surprising to relate,
the cast-iron bars continued growing
in length. breadth and thickness, un-
til the increase in volume amounted to
no less than 46 per cent, after which
there was no further increase by sub
sequent heating and cooling. 1t was
found that the bars were unchanged
in weight and retained their metallic
solidity in appearance to the naked
eye.
when, however, j thin section of
one of the bars was examined under
a powerful microscope it was found
coarser in texture than a section of
the same bar before the permanent
increase in dimensions had taken
place.
1T was also found, as might be ex-
pected. that the strength of the metal
was as decreased in proportion to the
permanent expansion. Mr.. Outer
bridge found by miscroscopic and
chemical examination that the ex-
traordinary enlargement of cast iron
is due to movement among the
molecules or individual particles of
cast iron (Which is a crystalline
metxD and not to oxidation or absorp-
tion of sulphur or to burning out of
any of the component parts.

"GRoWlNG" CAST IRON.
Remarkable Popularity of the Metal
and Reason for 1t.

That cast iron will swell remark
ably in bulk when alternately heated
and cooled was shown about three
years ago by Alexander E. Outer
bridge .Jr., of Philadelphia, who was
awarded in 1904 the Elliott Cresson
gold medal of the Franklin Institute
for his discovery. 1t seems possible,
from facts stated in an article in the
Philadelphia Record, that this discov-
cry may prove to be useful as well as
curious. We read:
1T had long been observed that
iron castings, such as grate-bars and
the like, when subjected to great heat
for long period of time, warped,
twisted, and eventually cracked, but
the true cause thereof had never been
scientifically investigated, and various

God only knows:" said Darlington,
desperately "All I know is that she
is well and under the kings especial
protection. We are bound for the East
Indies for three years. Three years
away from her, God, what fool I've
been. Strathgate was right" Car

at last, ARE you all ready?"

In moment the shill piping of the
boatswain and his mates along the
deck was followed by the trampling OF
many feet The crew, a splendid set
of fellows, assembled in the gangways.
Darlington read his orders to them,
directed the commanding officers pen
nant to be hoisted and bade Parkman,
who for the present acted as first lieu

There were many expert seamen

MIA and swept toward the great liner,
whose tall sides lowered above her
like a castle wall.
AS the Bellona drew abreast the
liner a burly figure suddenly appeared
on the edge of the high poop of the
Britannia. Recognizing the admiral,
Darlington, who had stood aft on the
quarterback of his frigate. barred his
head and saluted. The admiral re-
turned the compliment with his own
chapeau, then he turned and waved it
forward Instantly the rails of the
Britannia swarmed with men, and
from their throats at another signal
from the admiral came such burst of
cheering as warmed the very cookies

Caves of a CannibaI Race.

Strange evidences of cannibalism
have been brought to light with the
recent opening up of caves at One
Tree Hill, Maungakiekie, New South
Wales. and another link has been
added to the chain of interest en-.
circling this celebrated spot.
In one cave great piles of human
bones have been discovered, mixed up
indiscriminately and thrown down in
one huge conical heap. These bones
belonged to victims taken by the
Maoris in battle and slaughtered for
culinary purposes. Then they were
dropped down the funnel-shaped
mouth of the cave into darkness and
oblivion.

ing. My lord turned his head. looked
at 1t slowly, turned his body, followed
it up, saw face he dreamed of. tears
rolling from eyes that looked love at
him, and in another moment he was
clasped in his wife's arms.
This was the punishment meted out
to him by little George. He was to go
to the Indies, but not alone. When
there was time for coherent speech
Ellen handed her husband another pa-
per appointing him captain Of the
Bellona, subject only to the orders of
his wife.
God bless him!" cries my lord,
folding his wife again to his heart.

although we fought against him SO
long, he hath kindly heart"
He hath, indeed" returned CARING

royal word that you should be well

laughed my lord, sweeping her to his
heart again. And what orders do
you propose to issue to me?"
Il should like to present to you two
of my friends"
Your friends are my friends. my

to greet them
1T serves now" said Ellen, draw
ing herself away from him. And in
deed she found it difficult, for he
would by no means let her go, follow
ing her aft and still keeping his hand
about her waist as she opened the
door of one of the cabins.
Out thence, for all the world like
Jack-in-the-boX, popped Mistress Deb
orah, her cheeks redder than the scar
let ribbons she affected, and stalking
behind her came Sir Charles Seton in
great dignity.
Il did you an injustice, Charlesi"
cried my Lord Darlington. Il humbly
beg your pardon. | have not heard

lords remarks were so spontaneous
but | know that you were true"

heartily. Il could forgive you any

'In this way" returned Seton. Per
nit me'-he seized the blushing Deb
orah as he spoke-"S Salute Lady Seton,
Carrington.'
What! Is it so?"

king himself being one of the wit
nesses.'
And do you go with us to India?"
May answered Seton, only to
Weymouth
And at that Darlington was very
glad, for though he loved Seton much,
he loved his wife more, and he wanted
her for the rest OF his life all to him
self
Seton OWNED that, for presently he
took Deborah by the hand and led her
forth upon the quarterback, leaving
Darlington and Ellen alone together,
each in the haven where they fcin
would be; husband and wife, one and
inseparable now and forever, locked
in each others arms
