There was nothing to keep me on deck, and having satisfactorily exâ€" plained away the cause of my anxiety, I decided to take Zavertal’s advic'e and turn in till dinner-time, leaving him to do the honors at the luncheonâ€"table. In going to my room I had to pass the spot where Mr. Orlebar’s lounge was placed, and just as I was approaching it I met Aline’s chaperon, as yet unknown to me, coming along the deck alone from the opposite ‘direction. The sick man caught sight of her while I was within two feet of him, and the effect of her appearance upon him was as inexplicable as it was sudden. His shaking fingers dropped the now empty glass with a crash upon the deck, and I distinctly heard him murmurâ€"â€" "My God ! It’s Ella.” The recognition, if such it was to prove, did not appear to be mutual. Mrs. Brinkworth’s attention was of course attracted by the falling glass, flush and a fleeting expression of and she looked at the occupant of the lounge, but beyond a slight disgust, which might Very naturally have been called up by Orlebar’s reâ€" pulsive. drink-sodden features, no sign of knowing him escaped her. She passed on, stately and unmoved to the after-part of the deck, where I had no doubt that Aline was wait- ing for her. - I had seen too many chance meet- ings on shipboard for the incident to make any impression on me, and I should have dismissed it altogether from my mind if one of the parties »to it had .not been so intimately connected with Aline. As it was, I merely noted it mentally for future inquiry, in the event ‘of anything tending to show that Orlebar’s pre- sence on the ship would cause anâ€" noyance to a lady who had already won my dear girl’s regard. " After a good sleep I awoke refreshâ€" ed, and comforted with the reflec- tion that, after all, beyond specify- ing the nature of her imaginary illness, Zavertal had really said noâ€" thing more than Aline herself to confirm Sir Simon Ci-awshay’s esti- mate of her health. The doctor had not examined her chest, and his statement was based on nothing more substantial than a secondâ€"hand opinion which was probably all moonshine. I dressed, therefore, with every anticipation of a pleasâ€" ant evening, and after a short visit to the bridge to see that all was right, I went down and mingled with 'the passengers, eventually making my way to where Aline was sitting with Mrs. Brinkworth. I have the instinct, common to most people, of knowing a friend from an enemy at first sight, and something told me from that moâ€" ment that the quiet, sadâ€"faced wo- man was Aline’s friend and there- fore mine. -I think she had already guessed our secret, but, if not, she had every opportunity of doing so in the cheery halfâ€"hour we three spent together before the first gong sounded for dinner. We lovers wore .too confident in the future and in the freedom which Aliiie’s majority would bring her in a few months to affect more reserve than etiquette de- manded in public. The shy and senâ€" timental stage of courtship had been got over in the old Dahlia, and there was a very frank understanding beâ€" tween us. When I sat down presently to pre- side, for the first time, in the saloon I found that I had General Waldo for my leftâ€"band neighbor, and on the other side an ancient dowager~ Lady Carberryâ€"who took the place of honor by right of her title. Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth Were seated at my table, but some way down, and too far off for sustained conversaâ€" tion with them. Parallel with mine was another table, at the head of which Doctor Gavertal presided, with the little Earl of Darranmore and the latter’s tutor on one hand, and a financial magnate and his wife on the other. Mr. Desmond Orlebar was also placed at the doctor’s table, but some half dozen seats away. The “Captain’s table” of course accommodated those who were or considered themselves the elite of the ship, and it was not till I found myself at the head of the brilliant assemblage, and the most deferredâ€"to personage in it, that I appreciated Nathan’s compliment in selecting me for the job. Dinner proceeded gaily, and I work- ed hard to make 111) for lost time in cultivating friendly relations with the passengers. General Waldo kept our end of the table in a constant roar of laughter with comic descripâ€" tions of Western life, at which even the starchy .old lady on my right had to unbend, and by the time des~ sert was reached I concluded that the social part of my duty was easier than I had expected. Things were going equally smoothly at the other table, where, with his quips and cranks, the young Earl was evidently establishing himself a gen- eral favorite. The interest in the merry youngster even spread to our table, his boyish laughter at Za- vertal’s good humored sallies caus- ing many heads to be turned to look at him. General Waldo, who could see him as he sat,_ seemed to watch him unceasingly with the sym- pathetic attention dueâ€"to a kindred spirit. Suddenly, as the ladies were be- ginning to leave the saloon, Waldo plucked me by the sleeve and exâ€" claimed,â€" “Thunder, Captain ! The swell of the ocean ought to be kinder, to the swoll on the ocean. What’s up with copious wheezes, but I looked round seemed, therefore, wide of the mark, had said of the lad’s weak heart in the morning. assistantâ€"stewards lifted the young passed out to say to meâ€" our young aristocrat yonder ’2” I thought at first that the veteran Was merely cracking one of his to the head of the other table, and sure enough there‘was the Earl of Darranmore leaning back in his chair and gone deathly white, while Zavertal had risen and was deftly unbuttoning the boy's collar with one hand and feeling his pulse with the other. The night was dead calm and, save for the slight tremor caused by the pulsing of the engines, the ship was as steady as a church. Waldo’s suggestion of seaâ€"sickness and I recollected what the doctor At'Zavertal’s bidding a couple of Earl’s limp form and bore it away to his state-room, the doctor himâ€" self following, but pausing as he “It is only a faint. He will be all right toâ€"miorrow, but I fear this confirms the report I had of himâ€" poor ’ little chap.” And Zavertal hurried away, tapping his broad waistcoat in the region of the heart, and repeating againâ€"“Poor little chap.” The tables were already pretty well thinned, and in a couple of minutes the. incident was forgotten by such as remained, Waldo resuming the thread of a yarn, in which he had been interrupted, about a Texan horse-thief, scoring all his points, bringing the story to a close, - and thoroughly enjoying the applause that greeted the climax. For a mo- ment or two he sat as though medi- tating a fresh narrative, then sudâ€" denly jumped up and exclaimedâ€" “Pineapple, by Jove ! I guess I’m a whale on pineapple,” and beâ€" fore I could tell him that the stew- ard should bring him some he. had crossed over to .the now vacant table where Lord Darranmore had been sitting, and had seized a dish of the fruit that was there, coming back with it to his own place. As he resumed his seat he looked at me, for the fraction of a second all the babbling fun in his face changed to stern scrutiny, and in that brief steadfast gaze remem- brance came to me of some one quite different whom I had seen beforeâ€"of Kennard, the American visitor to Nathan’s office, who had forfeited his passage. The likeness was one of expression only, and was gone like a flash, as with one of his jokes Waldo set to upon the pineapple with a. relish that justified his eagerness to se- cure it. ‘ (To Be Continued.) ' . SAFETY FOR 'LITTLE ONES. Mothers Should Exercise Great Care in Choosing Medicine for Children. Every little one needs a medicine at some time, and mothers cannot be too careful in making a selection. The soâ€"called “soothing” prepara- tions, invariably contain opiates and other harmful drugs, which stupify the little one, and pave the way to a constant necessity for the use of narcotic drugs. Undoubtedly the very best, and the very safest medi- cine for little ones is Baby’s Own Tablets. They are mildly laxative and gentle in their action and cure all stomach and bowel troubles, re- lieve simple fevers, break up colds, prevent croup, and allay the irrita- tion accompanying the cutting of teeth. Where these Tablets’are used little ones sleep naturally, because the causes of irritation and sleepâ€" lessness are removed in a natural way. Experienced mothers all praise this medicine. Mrs. H. H. Fox, Orâ€" ange Ridge, Man., says :â€"â€"”Baby’s Own Tablets are the best medicine I have ever used for children of all ages. They are truly a blessing to baby and mother’s friend.” These Tablets are guaranteed to contain no opiate, and can be given to a new-born babe.

A notable feat of endurance dur‘ ing the late war by the lst Bat; talion Essex Regiment, has just come to light. The battalion had been left behind at the Zand River to assist in getting the whole of the large baggage train across, and after working for twentyâ€"four hours, the men marched a distance of fortyâ€"two miles in just half as many hours, in order to catch up its division. Such a feat of endurance as this has selv dom been equalled. BERTHS FOR FORG'ERS.
