Indignantly responded the .youngster, drawing him self up to his full height. "What Is It, StuartV" Inquired the captain, as the twain entered Ids cabin. "I merely wish to say that we nre ready to get under way whenever you please, sir; but Iiobson has n report to make," said the lieutenant. "Not seasick yet, I hope?" ejaculated Cnl.iln l'IL.,n I I ... 1 1 l'VVll . I'm listening." "I'lease, sir, It's the 'First Lord;' lie's lioltcd!

('hurley Itobson meekly endured the reproaches of his commander, who was n stern martinet, ami made no allow ance for youthful Inexperience. "Hut at any rule," mused the young fellow, when be was nt length dismissed, "lie said nothing about stopping my fur lough." And then his volatile spirits threw olT the recent discomfiture as only youth knows bow to, while his thoughts wandered far away to that pleasant country home In Surrey, with till Its attendant attractions, from which he had been separated for one long year. And If among the dream faces conjured up there was one whloli oellpsed all others, the fact should not I'll use undue surprise. The usual steps taken to secure the arrest of the deserter were of no avail. Ills description was circulated by the police throughout the country, and all the majesty of the law Invoked to cap ture the runaway, but the man disap peared as completely as If the earth laid opened and swallowed him up. lie was of a strangely reserved nature, mixed but little with bis companions, mill bad evidently once occupied a far superior station In life. There was one person, however, who did not forget the runaway. Hobson id'teii In Imagination ran the scoundrel to earth Little did Charley Hobson Imagine as nt the commencement of his long-deferred leave tie lounged In a llrst-class smoker on his way to (JulMford how mum, or under what strange elrcum tftaniTS he would meet the villain of bis melodrama. "And you have come home; Alice will be able to resume her Interrupted country walks," said the mother of the youthful sailor next morning. "Hut of course." added she, addressing the girl, "("..arley has not beard of your latest admirer. 1 don't know whether the girl's nerves are out of order," con tinued Mrs. Hobson, "but she declares that a strange man has been following lior about during the lust few weeks al though no one else has ever caught a glimpse of blni." "I shan't be afraid of any loafers while Charley Is with me," responded the maiden. "In proof of which, be fdiall convoy me for a walk uow." And Alice Westerns buoyantly danced off to array herself for the proposed Jaunt. The eyes of mother and sou followed the girl with a wistful ook as she quitted the room. . ........ "I suppose nothing hns been heard of him?" queried the latter. "No! Your father thinks there never, will be. Doubtless Sir Richard died a broad, believing to the. end that ho was a murderer." "And Allle Is still Ignorant of her father's sad' history?" queried the lad. "i'es. We have decided not to say anything to her until she Is of tige, un less some contingency should arise, such as your, obtaining a Bublleuten uiiry, and being of the same mind as you are now." , Itobson colored at the hint delicately conveyed' by his mother, and go well understood by himself. To see their I only son mated to their ward was the dearest wish of Admiral and Mrs. Rob' son,"'jy7'tfliy hud the good sense to re strain the Impetuosity of the youthful couple until both arrived at years of niaturl ty. II. With thfe course of true love running thus smoothly, and the crlsp, frozen ground under their feet, tho twuln started 11)1011 their ramble. 1 With buoyant steps they breasted the "Hog's Haek," from which favorite vantage ground a splendid view of the surrounding country could bo obtained. "Yes, (here's the dear old Towers," said Allk1, "where I should bo living uow If the pater had uot died." You've found another home," whis pered Charley, "and other parents." I know that, dear," responded the girl. "Hut you cannot Imagine what It feels like to have one's birthplace givou over to ruin ami decay, and to know one hasn't a single living relative. Only to think I cannot even visit my father's grave, because he died in some far away outlandish place!" Then, with returning vivacity, she added; "Don't you remember that day in your school holidays when we walked over there and rambled through the disused rooms? How we thought there was n ghost 111 the hall, and ran nil the three miles back home .without once stop ping?" ; I should Just think I did," said the young ollleer. "You caught a chill through being overheated, and the gov ernor said he would make n tailor of me for being such an Idiot." "You wouldn't ho i afraid now? queried the girl. "No fear!" laughed her companion, "Life on a man-of-war soon knocks all the fear of spooks out of a man." "Let us pay another visit, then!" A sharp walk soon brought the twain to tlu! rusty lodge-gates of Wosterue Towers. -"How dreary It looks!" said the girl, "I wonder If that scullery window Is still unfastened?" Charley tried, and to his surprise the sash slipped up without dltllculty. "It's a case of gentlemen lirst this time, said he, stepping through the aperture. Come along, tomboy. If you're not careful you 11 tear your dress. The window's uo bigger than the lubber hole of n brig." The casement being negotiated In safety, together they wandered through the cobweb-festooned rooms of the once palatial residence. Ascending to a sec ond story, Hobson carelessly threw open a door of a room which faced the landing. Here an unexpected sight met their gaze. Sitting before a wood lire was an elderly man, contemplating the Humes with a ruminant air. At the sound they made he turned his face to ward tlmm tuul started In alarm. J lie next moment the youth was across tlu room and grappling with the stranger. "You villain!" he panted, "I've got you at last! Run, Allle, bring some one quickly! I can't hold him long; say he's a deserter from the navy." The trembling limbs of the girl failed to carry out his behests as she stood fascinated, watching the unequal strug gle, which was speedily ended. Youth and agility were no match for the sail er's sinewy arms, and In a short time Itobson was Ignomlnlously pinned against the wall. With lowering brows and eyes, which boded uo good to his captive, West stood staring at the lad as If undecided what to do with hint. Then, catching sight of the pale face of Alice, who was petrified with horror upon recognizing In her companion's antagonist the mail who had so persistently dogged her fciptsteps of late, bis own features as sumed a softer expression, and he mut tered: "It Is kismet!" . After a pause of breathless silence the ex-sailor, addressing bis captive, said; "You are not so muscular as was your father hi his youth, young fellow. The Charley Hobson that 1 knew would never have allowed au old man to get the better of him; but let that pass and come to the crux of the matter. You want to arrest me for deserting from the navy. Very well, you shall-, If you still wish to after hearlug what I have to say." Iteleaslng tho grip upon his would be captor, the elder man, In a strange ly cultured voice, addressed his audi tors, "Years ago," said he, "I was known and respected I,-, this neighborhood, a man of substance, and a member of the diplomatic corps. Unfortunately, In my otlii'ial capacity, 1 became em broiled In a quarrel with n political op ponent, and, as was more common even llfteen years ago, the result was I had no alternative betweeu Uglf lug a duel or being dishonored.

How she gets the money nobody knows, but each month there Is n deposit of fifty cents to swell her account, which has uow reached the sum of three dollars.

"I have fifty cents two ipiai'teis. Johnny got It changed for me; there were lives before. And I want to put It In there," pointing to the window, "and they write it down here lu the book," rinding the row of figures. "Hut I don't know how by myself. Will you do It?
