TWENTIETH INsTALLMENT.

T F Johannes time Of waiting was an
agony, the first sight of him when
at last they brought him to her
Il was even worse. He was scarcely
recognizable for the man he had
been week ago. The healthy fullness
of his cheeks had gone; the great bony
structures OF his face stood gauntly
forth from the stretched yellow skin,
and his eyes, which seemed to have re-
coded in their sockets, burned feyerishlv.
He no longer walked with that slightly
staggering roll and the forward thrusO
OF MS chin, but moved slowly and
St1tf1y, bending forward like an old man.
The first sight of him wrought in her
such an uprush of pity and womanly
tenderness that she ran to meet him,
to enfold him in her arms. But he al
most shrieked in her embrace, where
upon her arms were instantly relaxed
and melted from him. She fell back in
diSmay.
"You-you hurt mel" he gasped and
added the explanation: It have been
racked until am one living ache" He
looked at her tearfully with those burn
ing eyes about which the shadows were
SO heavy. He mumbled explanations to
her. Il stood as much as flesh and bone

She was kneeling beside him, an arm
very gently set about his shoulders.
"A week ago." he babbled on in his
weak, plaintive voice, I'VE hadn't a

our lives Tomorrow" He broke of

completed his answer, it was but to give
reasons why he could not complete 1t

"SeeP What do 1 see?" The conflict
within him between his self-respect and
his fear, between his manhood and hts
will to live, came forth in a torrent of
petulance. "Oh Heavenl Don't ask
me such questions! Don't tempt me

She looked at him, and her eyes
were as dead eyes in a face of stone.

very steadily.
The door at the end Of the hall was
opened, and CaSSaignac came in to an
nounce that it was time for Master
Danvelt to return to his cell.
He shuddered at that summons and
chung moment to Johanna, who stood
silent and rigid.
Pray for me, Johanna, If If

him.
She had a last glimpse of his white,

doors closed again. Then she sank into
the chair which he had just vacated
Her lips were mumbling: "a defilement

His command upon her had been
clear enough. Only shame had made

Rhynsault's closet opened. From the
threshold, unobserved and unheard, he
stood regarding her for some moments.
Then he advanced toward her, his feet

the stone floor was spread.
The sound disturbed her. She rose
to face him, oddly calm.

THE EVENING STORY
One of World-FamOus Works of Literature

While was engaged in bailing the

an unpleasant odor. Afraid that our
Friend would perceive it. too, 1 whis-
pered to Mrs. SparrowgraSs to coax her
of and get her farther up the beach.

lady replied when urged to move. II

ter where 1 am"
Mrs. Sparrowgrass came back and
whispered mysteriouSly that our Friend
was sitting on dead dog at which L
| redoubled the bailing and got her out
in deep water as soon as possible.
Dogs have q remarkable scent. A
dead setter one morning found his way
to our beach, and towed him out into
the middle of the river, but the faith
full creature came back in less than
an hour-that dogs smell was remark
able. indeed.
have bought me fyke-to go with
the boatl
A fyke is good thing to have in the
country A fyke is fishing net with
long wings on each side; in shape like
a nightcap with ear lappetS, in mecha-
niSm like rat trap. You put stake
at the tip end of the nightcap, a stake
at each end of the outSpread lappets;
there are large hoops TO keep the night
cap diStended, sinkerS to keep the lower
sides of the lappets under water and
floats as large as muskmelonS to keep
the upper sides above the water. The
stupid fish come downstream and, rub
bling their noses against the wings, fol-
low the curve toward the fyke and
swim into the trap. When they get
in they cannot get out. That Is the
philosophy of the fyke. I bought ore
of Conroy.
"Now," said I to Mrs. Sparrowgrass,
1--WE shall have fresh fish tomorrow "7r
breakfast" and went out to set 1t.
drove the stakes in the mud, spread
the fyke in the boat, tied the end OF
one wing to the stake and cast the
whole into the water. The tide carried
it out in a straight line. 1 got the
loose end fastened to the boat, and
found it impossible to row back against
the tide with the fyke. then united
it, and it went downstream. stake and
all. I got it into the boat, rowed up
and set the stake again. tied one end
to the stake and got out of the boat
myself in shoal water: then the
boat got away in deep water; then I
had to swim for the boat. Then
rowed back and united the fyke. Thee
the fyke got away. Then I jumped oUN
of the boat to save the fyke and the
after the boat and row after the fyke,
and finally was glad to get my net on
dry land, where I left it for week in
the sun.
Then I hired man to set the fyke.
and he did. but he said it was "rotted"
nevertheless. in it I caught two small
founders and an eel.
At last a brace of men came down
to my beach for a swim at high tide.
One of them. a stout, athletic fellow,
after performing sIndry aquatic gym
naSticS, diVed under and disappeared
for fearful length of time.
The truth is, he had dived into my
net. After much turmoil in the water
he rose to the surface with the fla
mentS hanging over his head, and
cried out, as if he had found birds
nest:
81 say, Jimmy! Here's fyke."
The unfeeling exclamation to Jimmy,
who was not the owner of the net,
made me almost wish that it had not
been "rotted."
