Whilst they are reeling under the blow throw out a gentle hint that Constance may en snare Traill’s nephew. ‘Ensnare’ is the right word, isn’t it? The best of it is, 1 know they have been worrying you for months about my friendship with ‘girls of their class.’ Oh, the joy of the encounter! It must be like blowing up a battle-ship with a tup- penny hapenny torpedo-boat.” So her ladyship—not without pon- dering over certain entries in the Books of the Proudly-born, which re- corded the birth and marriage of Sir Stephen Brand, ninth baronet, “pre- sent whereabouts unknown’’—went to bed, but not to sleep, whereas Jack Stanhope never afterwards remem- bered undressing, so thoroughly tired was he, and so absurdly happy, not- withstanding the awkward situation divulged at the dinner. Pyne, left with his uncle, set him- self to divert the other man’s thoughts from the embarrassing topic of Mrs, Vansittart. He knew that Brand was not likely to leave them in dublety as to the past. Discussion now was useless, a mere idle guessing at probabilities, so he boldly plunged into the mystery ad yet surrounding Enid’s first year of existence. Mr. Traill, glad enough to discuss a more congenial subject, marshalled the ascertained facts. It was easy to see that here, at least, he stood on firm ground. “Your father, as you know, was a noted yachtsman, Charlie,” he said, “Indeed, he was one of the first men to cross the Atlantic in his own boat under steam and sail. Twenty years ago, in this very month, he took my wife and me, with your mother, you, and our little Edith, then six months’ old, on a delightful trip along the Flor tida coast and the Gulf of Mexico. It was then arranged that we should pass the summer among the Norweg: ian fiords, but the two ladies were ner- vous about the ocean voyage east in April, so your father brought the Es: meralda across, and we followed by mali steamer, During the last week of May and the whole of June we cruised from Christiana almost to the North Cape. The fine keen air res tored my wife’s somewhat delicate health, and you and Edith throve amazingly, Do you remember the voyage?” “It is a dim memory, helped a good deal I imagine, by what I have heard | since,” “Well, on the fourth of July, putting into Hardanger to celebrate the day with some fellow-countrymen, I re- ceived a cable which rendered my pre- sence in New York absolutely imper- ative. There was a big development scheme just being engineered in con- nection with our property. In fact, the event which had such a tragic se- quel] practically quadrupled your for- tune and mine. Hy that time, the Jadies were so enthusiastic about the sea-going qualities of the yacht that they would have sailed around the world in her, and poor Pyne had no difficulty in persuading them to take the leisurely way home, whilst I rac d off via Newcastle and Liverpool to the other side. I received my last cable from them dated Southampton, July 20th, and they were due in New York Bomewhere about August 6Bth or 6th, llowing for ordinary winds and wea- er. During the night of July 21st, when midway between the Scilly Isles and the Fastnet, they ran into dense log. Within five minutes, without the east warning, the Esmeralda was struck amidships by a big Nova Sco- barque. The little vessel sank Imost like a stone, Nevertheless, our father, backed by his skipper and splendid crew, lowered two boats, 4ll hands wsre saved, for the mo- | ment. It was 3ae’s boast that hie ity for hours, they found nothing but} wreckage. You, Charlie, when I went to St. John’s five weeks later, could | only tell me that you had felt very} cold and wet. That is aii | ever knew | of the fate of the Esmeralda until, in| God's good time, I met Stanhope on} board the Falcon.” “Then the manner of Enid’s rescue is conjectural?” “Absolutely. But Stanhope, who is a sailor, and two men named Spence and Jones, who were Brand's col- leagues on the Gulf Rock at that time, have helped me in building up a com- plete theory. It is quite clear that the} second boat did not sink, as was re- ported by the captain of the John 8. She was damagad, and had her mast} broken, by the collision. In the dark: | ness and confusion she would be} readily carried past the barque, | which was probably traveling four | knots an hour. The two sailors, in} springing from her gunwale into the} bebstays, would certainly cant her} considerably, and at that instant my| poor wife either threw her child into| the boat with a last frenzied effort, or| someone caught the baby from her as she sank The boat was seen by Brand floating in with thestide on the| morning of the 30th of July. She had been nine days at sea. Some survivor | must have given the little one nourish: | ment in that time, as a twelve-months: | old child could not possibly have lived, | In all likelihood, the bank of fog clung | to the surface of the sea and followed the tides, as there was little or no wind on the days following the loss of the yacht. Again, there were pro. visions in the boat, but no water. | Why? Either the water-casks had| siarted their staves when the smash} took place, or a careless steward had | failed to fill them. The next thing is the identity of the boat. By the stu-| pidity of a sailor, one of the Esmeral- da’s life-boats was burnt to the water’s/ edge in Norway He upset a tin of petroleum whilst he was opening it, and a lighted match did the remainder, Indeed, he and another man at the oars narrowly escaped death. A boat was purchased, but accident or migs- chance prevented the Esmeralda’s name being painted on it. There was a Norwegian port number on the stern-board, and this was smashed away by the falling mast. As the sail was trailing in the water when the boat was found by Brand, it Is as- sumed that the survivor or survivors, who paid some heed to the child, suf- fered from injuries which preveated him or them from hauling it in. One man's body was found on board and he had been dead many days. Finally, we have. the evidence of the child's clothing.” “The girls told me something of the story on the rock,” said Pyne. “Gee whiz! I little dreamed that Enid, or Edith, I mean, was my first cousin.” “You know that her garments were marked E. T., and that a little shawl was pinned about her with a gold brooch set with emeralds arranged as a four-leafed shamrock?” “No, I fancy that they were hin- dered in their yarn, Believe me, there was always enough to do in that wonderful place. Besides, I knew about the brooch, Had they mention- ed it, | guess the gray matter at the back of my head would have become agitated by thought.” “Yes, of course, I am talking to you as if you were hearing this sad history for the first time.” “It is new enough. It has a fresh point of view, which is everything. ow, about that brooch?” “I bought it in Bergen. I remember your poor fathur laughing about it, It was odd to find an Irish emblem in that out-of-the-way little town, I have not seen it yet, but it is ludicrous to think that so many coincidences can affect two different children cast adrift about the same time in open . With the morning came doubt. A maid, who was given charge of the two children, told Pyne that Mra Vansittart had been greatly upset tha previous evening. The girl was sure that the lady had passed nearly an| hour in tears kneeling by the side of her bed. Then, having regained con} trol of herself to some extent, she rang for the maid and asked at what time the first train left for London next day. She ordered her breakfast at an hour which seemed to indicate her intention to depart by that train, said that she would leave instructiong with Mr. Pyne concerning the chil dren, and gave the maid two letters which she had written. These were to be delivered at nine o'clock. It was now nine o'clock. What was ta be done with the letters? As they were addressed to Pyne __ his uncle respectively he soon settle that point. His letter read: “Dear Mr, Pyne—I am leaving fot London quite early, so I will not seq@ good printer. . . ee: DIRECTIONS FUR COOKING A HARE FIRST;—"" CATCH YOUR HARE” To produce good printing you must ‘‘first ou can’t get good print poor printer, even if he work with never equipment.

Vansittart.” The communication to his uncle waa equally brief. Mr. Traill read it to him, It ran: j “Dear Mr, Traill—I cannot marry you. Please forgive me. I did not realize, when you honored me with your proposal, that an insuperable ob stacle existed. That is all—a lame explanation—but complete so far as it goes. A woman who has wreckedhet life finds it hard to choose her words, “Your sincere friend, “E.
