Family Life Is Wholesome Because u
Has Bracing Qualities of
Commonwealth.

The modern writer's who have sug-
gested in a more or less open man
ner. that the family is a bad institu-
ton. have generally confined them
selves to suggesting, with much sharp
ness bitterness. or pathos, that per-
hans the family is good institution
because it is uncongenial. It is whole
some precisely because 1t contains SO
many EMERGENCIES and varieties. 1t
is as the sentimentalists say, like a
little kingdom, and. like most other
little kingdoms, it is generally in
sra+e of something resembling an
archv. It is exactly because our
brother George is not interested in our
religious difficulties. but is interested
n tbe Trocadero restaurant, that the
family has Some Of the bracing quail
ties Of the commonwealth. It is pre-
cise,v because our uncle Henry does
not annrove of the theatrical ambi-
lions of our sister Sarah that the fam
ilv Is like humanity. The men and
women who. for good reasons and bad,
revolt against the family. are. for good
reasons and bad, simply revolving

few more noncommittal observances
De Hyeres wandered off, presumably
in search of the English girl, to whom
he had been paying assiduous atten-
tion
On closer scrutiny, she had proved
to be remarkably pretty girl; al
though, in point of fact, O'Rourke. for
all that he admired her looks i'm
menaeiy, had purposely avoided her.
This he did from motives Of prudence;
he mistrusted the combination formed
by De Hyeres and the Girl. The latter
might be all that she looked and claim
ed to be: sweet, wholesome and Tath-
er ingenious young Englishwoman, an
orphan, resident in Rangoon in the
household of an uncle, to whom she
was returning after a visit with
friends in Simla. On the passenger
list her name stood as Emilia Pyn-
sent. But the adventurer felt it the
course of wisdom to deny himself the
pleasure of her acquaintance, so long
as she permitted the attentions of the
Frenchman.
Altogether, considering the hot
weather and such self-imposed re-
strictions, O'Rourke considered the
voyage hardly success from social
point of view. He kept pretty much
to himself and to Danny, and to make
assurance doubly sure he instituted a
new regime with regard to the Pool
of Flame: that jewel never left his
stateroom. When O'Rourke was on
deck or at meals, Danny sat behind
bolts, alert and under arms, and vice
versa BY night they stood regular
watches together, the one on guard
while the other slept. Clearly the adj
venturer was determined that no lack
of safeguards on his part should again
deprive him of the ruby.
But it's no easy matter to avoid
meeting any particular person on a
ship with small saloon list, unless
one is willing to be purposely rude
and discourteous. For all his wari.
ness the Irishman was to carry with
him a personal impression of Miss
Pynsent.
On the last day of the passage. to-
ward evening, the Poonah raised the

"Oh, I've grown quite weary OF your

O'Rourke filled in the pause.

II sympathise heartily with your
disgust at the prospect" laughed the
girl.
"Eh? And why? 'Tis land of fair
repute for climate and beauty"
"Ah, but live in Burmah, you see,
and so have come to know it far too
well. But that's the way with all ex-
patriates, isn't ito hate their homes

Must We endure it, then, Miss Pyn-
sent?"

forever and a day. You see, my only
living relative is an uncle, Mr.. Lans
downe Sypher, and he's got 80 one
else to keep house for him."
"Lansdowne Sypher :"
The ejaculation sprang to O'Rourke's
lips before he could restrain it.
Yes. Do you know him? He's the
junior, you know, of the firm of Sec
retain and Sypher.'

No; tbs me misfortune not to know

The genial nature of the Irishman,
which had insensibly warmed to the
girls charm, withdrew abruptly, tor
toise-like, into shell of reserve. The
element of coincidence had again en-
tered into his affairs, and he had
learned bitter lesson from experience
to distrust coincidence on general
principles. There's naught so com
mon in life as condolences" he phil
osophised, land be the same token
naught so dangerous"
For which reason he invented an
early excuse to terminate the CONVEX
sation. and ungallantly withdrew to the
seclusion of his stateroom, where he
passed a night that seemed intermina-

A STILL bright night with little wind:
O'Rourke was not one to resist its al
lure. Four bells saw him lounging at

grily over toward the land. 1t was in

or so would see him relieved of his
trust; and as the time drew nigh i'm
patience burned holly within him; he
had become full weary Of the Pool OF

the thing. to have its chapter in his
history closed forever.
Far over the water a white and
flashing light lifted up and caught his
eye. q nameless beacon bright against
the darkness at the base of the Ara

those shallow seas. And simultane-
ously he became conscious of a pres
