CHAPTER XXI. The Earthly Paradise.

Three weeks later than the day on borough had met in Thorden Spinney, the Hawk. with all her white wings spread, was making for the tiny port of Monaco. Ronald stood on the deck, leaning against a mast, his arms folded, his eyes resting on per- haps the fairest scene ever imagined by mortal mind-a scene beautiful enough, one would think, to stir the blood in the coldest of men; for the Hawk was rising and dipping in the blue waters of the and before her stretched the famous coast-line of the Riviera
 It was winter; but the sun shone with the brightness the warmth, weli- nigh the fierceness, of summer, 1nten- sifying the brilliant colours of the one spot in Europe in which colour is supreme. Nowhere does green so closely resemble the emerald, is blue so like the sapphire; nowhere is white so pure, so startling. as it is in the Riviera.
 It is a land of entertainment, of al- most unreal beauty; indeed, when, in despair, one seeks for a comparison by which to estimate it, one is driven to turn to the theatre and to recall some cunning scene of fairyland painted by a master hand; and, gaz- ing from a vessel approaching the shore, one is inclined to fear that the exquisite vision of earthly loveliness will suddenly fade before ones eyes, as do the dreamlands which it re- sembles.
 But, though it was the first time Ronald had seen the marvellous view, shimmering and glittering in the sum- gold, it aroused no enthusiasm in his l breast and set no pulse tingling. He regarded it with gloomy eye, with a countenance unchanged in It's year ago he would have sighted that fairyland with keen anticipations of pleasure; for there, within sight, was | Monte Carlo, the charming. mystic, l the wicked winter-garden and play ground Of the fashionable world to which he had belonged
 But a great change had come over Ronald-a change which had really
  scious of the fact, the night he had seen Cara at te mill on the moor; the influence which she had all unwit- , tinglyl put forth then had become in tensified on the little SiciIian Island, and the loss of her, his failure to re- cover her, had transformed him into a man possessed by one idea, one stern, overmastering resolution.

 Consider This Advice.
 No woman should submit to surgi- cal operation, which may mean death, until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound fair trial.
 This famous medicine, made only from roots and herbs, has for thirty years proved to be the most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. Women residing in almost every city and town in the United States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound.
 Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice is free, confidential, and always helpful.

CHAPTER XXI. My Brothers Frienn.

Evelyn told her father of her meet ing with MT. vane-she said nothing of Ronald-and described uim in such favourable terms that Sir F;egi- nald remarked drily:
 '1t is evident you wish me to mako the acquaintance of this prepossessing gentleman. I will do SO. I will also have the fence put up outside the spinney."
 He walked down to the Lodge the following afternoon. and met vane coming out with his gun. Notwith- standing his coldness and reserve, Sir Reginald could be pleasant and friendly when he chose. He was favourably impressed by Vane; the two men got on very we'll together; and Sir Reginald invited Vane to come up to dinner on the following night Vane accepted, and turned up at the appointed time.
 Evelyn was glad to see him, and welcomed him with something more -1A AC& dSd@i II tIh TUT was he not friend of Ronald's? No other guests had been asked; but the .meal was by no means dull one; for, notwithstanding his half-assum- ed brusQueness. Vane was an inter- esting man; and. as soon as he began to talk, he got the attention of not only Evelyn, but Sir Reginald, who, on this occasion. was reused from his usual preoccupation. joined in the conversation, and was almost socia- ble. As for Evelyn, her interest in Nane grew each moment, as, with her white arms resting on the table, her eyes fixed on him, her lips parted with smile, she listened to the story c3 his adven lures in many lands stories which he told with graphic touches. little pauses, and bits of de- scription which brought the scenes vividly before her.
 She noticed that vane avoided any attention of his late voyage and of Ronald She fingered at the table long after the dessert had been placed: and she waited in the draw ing-room for his coming with an un- conscious impotence. It appeared

Mot at all," she replied. '1 am so interest you. You are quite an an- tiquarian, Mr. Vane."
 "Not bit of it," he said. "But he would be rum sort of a fellow who wouldn't be interested in such a place as this"
 He piled up some of the packing cases, took up the spade, and. mount ing on the i1nprumptu platform, forc- ed the remainder of the shutter down. He had no sooner done SO than the packing-cases collapsed,an he came down with a sun; the spade fell from his hand and dropped on one side of the stone slabs.
 "Oh, are you hurt?" exclaimed Ev- elyn, as he disentangled himself from the ruins of his impromptu platform, and rose, covered with dust.
 ''Not in the very. least" he replied, fearful dust. There! you can see the carving now.''
 They stood close together gazing at it; but in a moment or two his eyes wandered to her face.
 'Tt is very beautiful said Evelyn.
 AS he did not respond with his us- ual promptitude she turned her eyes to him and met his fixed regard there was something in it which brought the colour to her face and caused her to move away from him slightly. vane, too, coloured, and seemed 60 wake from momentary obsession.
 "Yes-er-very!" he stammered.
 ''You must take your tracing" she said, speaking quickly, as if she were fighting against little embarrass- ment.
 '"Thank you; I will," he said. "I'Il send up to London for some heel bore"
 'sWhat is that?" she asked.
 ''Oh, it's mixture of charcoal and grease in a dry lump. You put the brown paper on the carving and rub it with the hee1bore, and so get your impression. I'll show you how it's done when get the things down that is, if you care to see it."
 "Oh, I should-very much, she said. By the way, you may as well take the key; so that you can come
 oy,l have some tea"
 And a wash," he said laughingly holding out his hand.
 He opened the outer door for her; then, with the sense of orderliness which was largely developed in him as it is in all men who have to dc with ships, he went back, picked uE the broken packing-cases and stack ed them in the corner. He happen ed to drop the spade, and as it fel on the slab of stone-the same or which it had first fallen-he. was struck by the hollow sound which il caused. Mechanically he struck the slab again and those surrounding it and was convinced that the piece o pavement with which the spade hat first come in contact gave out a sound unlike any of the others-a hollow sound, as if there were a cavity be meath the stone. However, the fac did not impress him as curious or ev' en interesting; he pitched the spad, into the corner amongst the boxes and rejoined Evelyn outside.

 .cNo," said Evelyn, her beautiful face illumined by a smile which went straight to vane's heart; "but l like to hear you say it. Ronald IS so much to me; I have no other brother or sister. We were all in all to each other; I do not think we ever quar- -elled-" Her eyes filled with tears, and she stopped and turned her head away.
 "It would be difficult to quarrel with Desborough," said Vane; 'he Is such a good-tempered chap
 This maladroit speech spoke the ten,,on: evelyn laughed; Vane. too, laughed, and they seemed to be drawn still closer together by this slip of his tongue.
 .I assure you am not a very quar- relsome person." said Evelyn. But you are quite right about Ronald. Do you think he will be coming home soon?"
 vane shook his head.
 T don't know" he said hesitating- lv. "I imagine his movements are rather uncertain. But don't you worry about him, Miss Desborough; he's all right, and he can take care of himself"
 vane was speaking with a certain amount of reserve, perhaps keeping back something which he, and possi- bly, Ronald, did not wish her to knew. She rose and held out her hand

 vane did not leave the wood inn mediately: but he did not shoot, and he sat for some time on the mound gazing in the direction Evelyn had taken. His worst enemy had never veutured to describe Vane as aus- ceptible man; indeed, not few of his friends regarded him, if not as a woman-hater. as a confirmed bache- lor He was pre-eminentiy, mans man, and rather shy with women, | masking his shyness. as is often the case, by a show of brusQueness; but as he sat there, thinking of their meeting, and recalling the face and voice of Ronald's sister. he was con- scious of feeling which was half pleasant, half fearsome. Perhaps ii was because of her resemblance to | Ronald, because she had her broth er's bright smile and winning voice that he had been so favourably struck by Evelyn.
 He told himself that those must certainly be the reasons. and that, fl she had not been related to Ronald he would not have been so affected by her; but, as he marched to tn. Lodge and sat down to the mutton chop and glass of ale which were served by his man. who, with tn. addition of an extremely plain" cook and a housemaid. constituted the modest domestic staff, vane found himself still thinking of her, and hs admitted. graudgingly, that h. shouldn't mind if he saw her agair end soon-

With fourteen ending the death toll
and with the forty injured in local
hospitals recovering. only the exact
cause Of the Federal express wreck
Tuesday remained to be determined
today The generally accepted theory
that Engineer Curtis hit the cross
over on the viaduct at too great a
speed was challenged today BY the
charge that partially open switch de-
rallied the express after it had passed
the cross-over safely.
Coroner Wilson resumed his inves-
tigation into the accident today The
road still holds to the cross-over
theory of the cause. However many
trainmen recalling that Curtis was a
competent engineer and well ac-
quainted with the run, advance the
explanation that he was overcome by
the heat before reaching the bridge.
