A Few Days Before He Would Have
Counted This Walk to ST. James
One of the Events Of His Life.

AS he entered the grove through
which the councillor had guided him
the night before his eagerness be-
came almost excitement He APP
preached the great log house swiftly
but cautiously. keeping as much from
view as possible. AS he came under
the window through which he had
looked upon the king and his wives
his heart leaped with anticipation,
with hope that was strangely mingled
with fear. For only a moment he
paused to,listen, and Notwithstanding
the seriousness Of his position he
could not repress smile as there
came to his ears the crying of chill
dren and the high angry voice of a
woman. He passed around to the
front of the house. The door of
Strang's castle was wide open and sun-
guarded. No one had seen his ap-
proach; no one accosted him as he
mounted the low steps; there was no
one In the room into which he gazed
moment later 1t was the great hall
into which he had spied few hours
previous There was the long table
with the big book on it, the lamp
whose light had bathed the girls
head in halo of glory, the very chair
In which he had found her sitting!
He was conscious of a throbbingi in
his breast, longing to call out-if he
only knew her name. X
In the room there were four closed
doors and it was from beyond these
that there came to- him the wailing of
children. A fifth door was open and
through it he saw cradle gently
rocking. Here at last was visible life,
or motion at least. and he knocked

and a woman, came, out into the larger
room. In moment Nathaniel recog-

and her dark hair, falling in heavy
curls over her shoulder, added te, the

CHAPTER discontinued.

''You. will stay--eh, Nat?" he cried,
bobbing his head. Yes, you will stay.
and you will give me back the pack
age for day or two" He retreated
to the trap and slid down it as quick
~ as a rat. Pleasant dreams to you,
Nat. and-O, wait minute!" Cap
tain Plum could hear him nattering
quickly over the acer below. In a
moment he was back, thrusting his
white grtmacing face through the
trap and tossed something upon the
bed. 'She left them last night, Nat.
Pleasant dreams. pleasant dreams"
and he was gone.
Nathaniel turned to the bed and
picked up faded bunch of lilacs.
Then he sat down, loaded his pipe,
and smoked until he could hardly see
the walls CT his little :ccm. Freq. the
moment OF his landing on the island
he turned the events OF the day over
in his mind. Yet when he arrived at
the end of them he was no less mys-
titled than when he began. Who was
Obadiah Price? Who was the girl
that fate had SO mysteriously asso-
ciated with his movements thus far?
What was the plot in which he had
accidentally become involved? With
dreless tenacity he hung to these
questions for hours. That there was
plot of some kind he had not the
least doubt. The councillors strange
actions. the oath, the package. and
above ali the scene in the king house
convinced him of that. And he was
sure that Obadiah's night visitor-the
girl with the iilacs-was playing
vital part in 1t.
iHe plucked at the withered flowers
which the old man had thrown him.
He could detect their sweet scent
above the pungent fumes of tobacco
and as Obadiah's triumphant chuckle
required to him, the gloating Joy in
bis eyes, the passionate tremble of his
voice. grim smile passed over his
face. The mystery was easy of solu-
tion-if he was willing to reason along
certain lines. But he was not willing.
He had formed his own picture of
Strang's wife and it pleased him to
keep It. AT moments he half con-
coded himself fool, but that did not
trouble him. The longer he smoked
the more his old confidence and his
old recklessness returned to him. He
had enjoyed his adventure. The next
day he would end it. He would go
openly Into st. James and have done
his. business with Strang. Then he
would return to his ship. What had
he. Captain Plum. to do with Strang's
wife? sa s
But even after he had determined
on these things his brain refused to
rest. He paced back and forth
across the narrow room, thinking of
the man whom he was to meet to to
mpfrowof Strang. the one-time
lscnpolmaster ana temperance lecturer
who had made himself 4 King, who
for seven years had defied the state

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustrachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing viii be de

CUPID SHE'D AT TUBE
Couple Who Met at Sea Marry
in Hoboken on Landing

When he sailed from this port several
months ago on cruise Of the Orient
Dwight L.. Price. of Boston. had no idea
that he would be married in Hoboken
He was married there yesterday, how
ever. as soon as the customs officials had
examined his baggage on the Hamburg
American. pier. because Hoboken hap
pened To- be the place where the steam
ship Pennsylvania docked after a long,
stormy voyage from Hamburg.
Price. who is an official of a wheel
manufacturing company of Boston, was
I'm Germany when he was summoned
home by the serious illness of his father.
When the Pennsylvania was day out
Of port he saw Miss Sophie Helferich
of Honcsdale. Penn 4 fellow traveller
introduced the couple. and on the next
day Price told the girl he would like to
marry her was she willing? She was.
Both waxed enthusiastic, and wanted
TO be married right there and then.
Captain Russ Of the Pennsylvania, how
ever. was not willing to tie the knot. He
advised the couple to wait until they got
ashore. as they might change their
minds before reaching Hoboken.
The couple held to their agreement,
and when the steamer docked scoffed at
the suggestion that they should marry
iu New York. Hoboken surely had
clerGymen, and they could not waste the
time of crossing i'm the tube TO Man
haitian. They were married within half
an hour after the liner docked.

and the Navy was trying hard to work
the ball out Of its own territory near the
middle of the second period. when a
damaging penalty Of fifteen yards for
holding by one OF the Army players
opened the way for an assault which the
cadets could not withstand.
1t gave the midshipmen possession OF
the ball on their. own 45-yard line and
they did not reIlnquish 1t until victory
