Mary honestly tried to eat the dainty little dinner which Foster served to her, while Mouncey mounted guard in the sick chamber. But all the time the sound of rushing waters was in her ears and the vision of drowned face: before her eyes. and she turned loath- ingly from the lonely meal, which would have been thoroughly enjoyed by the poor soul up stairs fast drifting into eternity. , __ _. , ,__-_A. wave-.- - The pretense of dinner over, she crept back again to the sickroom, sending the two maids down to supper and stay- ing alone to keep the watch by the dy- ing beloved for whom she had worked so hard and sufiered so much, to watch the outward passage of that frail and feeble little bark which would leave her tossing to and fro upon the ocean of life with none to counsel or guide. It was a terrible night. and it was followed by a still more terrible day. Mary received from the owners of the great ship full confirmation of the news which the newspaper had taken to them in the first instance. There was not the smallest doubt that the large vessel wa as gone, that she was many fathoms under water. There was little or no doubt that Captain Conan had gone clown with her. and, so £81 as was knotxn. only five polsons of all her goodly company had lived tc tell the tale of her disastrous end. Two of these were passengers, two were or- dinary sailors. the fifth was the ship's purser: all the rest of the 300 soul: who had sailed aboard of her had found a watery grave and would be seen no more. All through the long hours of watch« ing and suspense did Mary Conway try to battle down the overwhelming sense of relief which had taken possession of her. She cared not. did not feel the very smallest grief for the husband whc had forgotten his manhood and he: womanhood alike. but she hated herself for not feeling it. Her heart was torn in twain. One half was singinga mean of thankfulness for deliverance: the other was bursting with a sense of her own impotence and helplessness to avert the swo-rd then hangifig above the head of her sick mother as the sword of Damocles hung suspended by: hair. She was glad in her heart that her care and anxiety for her mother would natnr a 13‘ account for the absence 0! any exhibition of gre: t 01 noisy grief for 136 r h ishand. The doctor spoke of the :‘5 of the Arilrl iama once or twice. and Monncey brought her the latest de- tails that \\ eiep n‘olished in the papers. but Mrs. Hamilton was during those first few days the object of paramount interest. Captain Conway was gone! All the love or loathing in the world could not affect him any more. For him all was over: he had already passed among; the things that have been and shall he no more. But Mrs. Hamilton was still alive and still needed the most minute care and the closest attention. Shev was. in spite of that terrible tragedy of the sea. the most important person of ~21: small household. In health she did not improve. At ‘ times faint flashes of understandiml came back but they were only feeble and flickering efforts of the clouded brain to re~es.ab1ish its mastery of what was going on around her. If she knew any one definitely. it was Mary. but of that, 8‘ en they were none of them very certain. The nurse who was in charge said positively that Mrs. Hamilton knew no one. Mouncey. on the other hand. insisted that shehad seen the poor lady’s eyes follow the mistress as she mbved away from fhe bed. This. how- ever, was a question which no one could decide positively. but in discussing it the onlookers, althOW'h it is prover‘ bial that onlookers see most of the game. never realized that in anxiety for her mother Mrs. Conway suffered no grief for her husband. On the fourth day affcer the coming of the news Mary received a visit from two gentlemen. 0119 was the managing cowmow a single (urector of the company to which the “‘.\av-» Arikhama had belonged; the other was by him introduced as the lawyer to the company. ‘ “You are perhaps.” said Mr. Law- son. the managing director. “not aware. Mrs. Conway. that your husband made a will three days before the Arikhama sailed from London.” “I did not know it, ” said Mary. “Such. however. was the case." he said snavely, “and, moreover, his last instructions were that should anything happen during either of these voyages Mr. Mannington”-â€"â€"indicating his com- panion by a gestureâ€"“should at once seek you out and make you acquainted with as little delay as possible with his last- wishes with regard to the property he had to leave. "‘ CHAPTER VI. THE HAND OF THE DEAD. Mr. Lawson ceased speaking and fixed his attention upon his companion. Mary also turned her clear eyes upon the law- yer and awaited what he might say next. To say the least of it his rmnarlr was unexpectea. "1 may say at once that I did not make this will of Captain Conway.” he said in polite and strict- ly professional accents “It was made by some person unknown to me and handed to me by Captain Conway. seal- ed as you see it. with instructions that should necessity arise I should at once seek you out. break the seals in your presence and make you acquainted with the contents. " Mary tremulously. The lawyer at once broke the seals and drew from the long. tough envel- ope a folded paper. Mary sat. with hands quietly clasped in her lap. wait- ing iIr. Mannington cast his eye over the writing. frowned. hit his lip. glanced at the girl widow apprehen- sively and then coughed nervously. ”You have no ideaâ€"I should say-J n1ean"â€" he stammered. Mary looked up. “Will you read it 1’" she suggested. “I have no idea What is in it. but I shall be surprised at noth- ing Captain Conway had strange ideas on some subjects. " 'â€" “Very strange. " murmured Mr. Law- son. who gathered from the lawyer's manner that the will contained nothing of pleasant import to the lady. ’l'iflkvill reaa it," said the lawyer. then coughed again and began "1. Edward Conway. captain of the 8. B. Arikhama. being of sound mind on this the 11th day of July. 18â€", declare this to be my last will and testament. All and any property of which 1 die possessed I give and bequeath to my nephew. Howard Conway. to be abso- lutely and entirely at. his own disposal. ”EDWARD CONWAY. "In the presence of Henry Challerton. John "In the presence of uenry cunuerwn. ounn Walker.‘ For a few moments the widow and the shipowner were too much surprised to speak. Of the three Mary was the most composed. Mr. Lawson was. how- ever. the first to break the silence. “You were perhaps otherwise provid- ed for. Mrs. Conway ‘2" he said gently. Mary shook her head. “No: I am entirely nnprovided for. " she replied. “Butâ€"but such a will is preposter- ous. Mannington. is there no possibil- ity of upsetting it?" “Wills have been upset. of course. and will be again. " said the lawyer. guard- esily “In this case. however. such a course would be costlyâ€"«and uncertain. Mrs Conway was living with her hus- band up to the time of his leaving home. she is living under his roof now. and it would be difficult to prove that the nephew had possessed or exercised any undue influence or that the testator was not of sound mind at the time of making the will. You. for instance. owl-4. not come forwzu‘d to throw any doubts upon his sanity from your own observation. for the jury and the public would alike ask what were you about to send out a vessel like the Arikhama in ‘ charge of a person whom you believed to be more or less of a lunatic." “You could not say it.” put in Mary. rising to her feet. “Nor should I wish 'it. Gentlemen. you need not trouble about meâ€"I dare say Mr. Howard Con- way will not turn me out of this house while my mother is so illâ€"or until she is gone where there is no need of any refuge. " ' “I will communicate with him at once.” said Mr. Mannington. “t is not at all likely. especially as he in- herits everything. which must be a great and unexpected thing for him.’ he added. “Then I need not detain you any longer." said Mary. holding out her hand. Mr. Lawson possessed. himself of it. “Forgiveane. my dear young lady," he said. kindly. “but have you means for the moment? If you have illness in the house. and you spoke of your mother”â€" “My mother is very ill,_very, vuy ill.” said Mary. “She was an invalid when I married. but the news of Cap- tain Conway’s death came upon her without warning and brought on anoth- er stroke. a very serious one. We have not much hope of her. " Her voice dropped away to what was httle more than a whisper. Mr. Lam“ son kept hold of her hand and murmur- ed consoling little phrases. Mary. hOWâ€" evor. was quite dry eyed. Her grief and despair were too deep for ordinary ways of sorrow. “You must let me see you through this." he said at last. “Your husband was in the service of my company for many years. and you must not hesitate .to nake from mewbat quite at your service." said THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: a will is preposter- is there no possibil- is ’n'ééEéséi-"fto' tide'yéu oyér'this un- looked for time. Have you formed any idea or plans yet? But noâ€"-of course you have not. Who was to expect that such a will would be left behind?" Mary looked upon him-With her won- derful clear eyes “I earned my living for years before I was married,” she said. simply. “and I shall be able to earn it again. Just now. of course. I am all out of reckoning and can set about nothing. You are very kind. Mr. Law- son. but I have some money left. ” "1 will supplement it, " he said. hur‘ riedly. and tore himself away. unable longer to bear the dumb pain of her eyes and mouth. _ 1-1:; nlnno oln‘nn 1’0 At last she was left alone. alone w think over the end to which her fine marriage had brought her, to think that here she was in a house which she had thought her own. but which had been left away from her to one whom her husband had always professed to hate fiercely. penniless except for the few pounds which she happened to have drawn out of the bank before the news of the foundering of the Arikhama had reached them. Well. she had wished. longed. prayed. to be free. and her wishes. longings and prayers had been heard and answered.

She went to her bed that night with a fixud intention of going in the morning to seek out Mr. Lawson and to tell him evm'ything. with a determination that she would justify herself in his eyes. But morning brought different feel- ings. In the early dawn a change for the worse came over Mrs. Hamilton. and the nurse called Mary f1 on) her bed. believing that the end was nigh at hand And as she stood by the side of that poor. flickering. feeble light. so soon to burn out into nothingness so far as concerned this world, a voice came to her telling her to do nothing. to say nothingâ€"the voice of a strange. curi- ‘ ous. wise instinct. which said: “You are free.

As soon as she could be quietly and decently laid away, Mrs Hamilton was carried out of the pretty villa in which she had enjoyed her brief spell of pros- perity, and then Mary made her prepa- rations for turning her back upon her old life forever. - q- ,3 LA 1hflT'D fha 010 file LUchoa. She was not obliged to leave the house with undue haste. for Howard Conway wrote to her as soon as he heard the news of his inheritance. telling her that the house was quite at her disposal for a few weeks, until indeed she had time to make her arrangements. Mar-y, however. replied that if Mr. Conway wouldsend some one to take possession at 11 o’clock on the following Monday morning she would be ready, and that she would prefer to give up possession, as she would be leaving the house then. Greatly to her relief. Howard Con- way did not think it necessary to ap- pear himself. but sent a young solicitor. who treated the outgoing widow with a curious mixture of condolence and ad- miration such as would have made a woman who knew the world better ex- ceedingly angry. Upon Mary. however, this manner had no efiect. She had just passed through the great tragedy of her life. she was face to face with a great question. “how to live in the future." and a flippant young man with rather bad manners had no more effect upon her than she might have felt from a gust L humming to and fro in the air. uuw.â€"-â€"o -v ., She took nothing with her excepting such things as had been absolutely her own. bought with her own money, earn- ed by her own labor. Howard Conway’s friend was astonished to find all the lit- tle woman’s treasures which she left 13'- ing about. “But surely these are your own per- sonal belongings. Mrs. Conway. ” he exâ€" claimed in his surprise, pointing to va- rious photographs in pretty frames which stood on a little table near the drawing room window. “No: they were not mine. " she re- plied. “They all belonged to Captain Conway. and of course they go with the house. ” “But. my dear lady," and here he grew quite afiectionate in tone, “surely you are interpreting the letter of the will too literally. My friend Howard “No; they were not. mine,” shc rcplfcd. Conway is the last man in the world to wish to be hard on a womanâ€"a young woman. his uncle's widow. He will not expect or wish you to leave snch purely personal things as these behind. ' “I prefer it.” said Mary. “Most ladies in your circumstances would have stripped the honse. ” he per~ sisted. “and would have left nothing but the bare chairs and tables." “Perhaps. but I am not one of those ladies. and besides I wish to take notho ing away to remind me ofâ€"of”â€"-â€" “Yes?" “That I once lived here.

I thank you. " A few minutes later she had passed out of the house and away from her 01d life forever. She had made her plans carefully with a view to furthering her resources to the uttermostâ€"she had taken a single room in a respectable house in Blooms- bury. She was not destitute, for she had still nearly £100 to call her own. Mrs Hamilton’ a life had been insured fora sum which had almost covered the cost of her illness and burial. and Mary had bought her mourning with a keen eye ab economy; in fact she had spent and meant to spend nothing that she could possibly: avoid. She knew that. if need be. she could live for a year on her little store. and she knew. too. that it was a totally different thing to seek a living free and independent. as she was, to seeking it while tied and hampered with an invalid mother.
