i DEAD rAST By MRS. LOVETT CAMERON CHAPTER I. On tho deck of a great Eastern bound Bteamcr crowds hurrying hither and thither, bales of luggage lumbering up tho way, sailors and railway porters tumbling over each other, the officers of the ship shouting forth distracted orders, passengers, men, women and littlo chil dren standing together In groups striving to hear each other's trembling words of farewell, and over all the screech of the Etoam from tho two great smoking fun nels overhead. Ten minutes nioro and the shore bell will be rung and the farewells will nil have to come to an end, and tho India bound ship Will havo started on her way. They clung round each other, these poor unfortunates who were parting some for years, and some forever1 re peating the last fond word, the last caress over and over again, gnzlng Into cacli other's eyes despairingly as though they would fain carry away every line of tho dear face from which they were bo soon to bo severed. Such n couple stood thus together, a little remote from the busy scene, near the bulwarks of the ship. The crowded quay was above them, yet because every body was so full of hurry and excite ment, so wrapped up either with tho business or tho grief which specially en grossed them, these two people stood virtually alone a man and a woman, both young and both tall; they clasped each other's hands with a straining de spair, and looked with a speechless ag ony Into each other's faces. Brian Desmond was eight and twenty then, he had health and brains and good looks, and the vigor of a hearty vitality was in his strong, young limbs, but as he held Rosamond Earle's hands tightly clasped within his own and looked his last into her beautiful eyes, he said to himself that life was at an end for him. "It Is better," she said, brokenly, "far better that I should go away; try to look at it in the right light, Brian. What pood could I be to you at home; and you will get used to it in time; there are many other things for you to live fori" "I have nothing to live for nothing," lie said, gloomily; "without you life Is nn absolute blank." The tears streamed over her face as she strove to answer him. "And yet I should be nn ever present sorrow to y6u were I to remain. Consider, Brian, how desperate, how hopeless is our condition; bow much more terrible to bear were we to meet constantly than when a whole hemisphere stretched between us!" "Ah! you might have waited you might have waited," he groaned. "What was there to wait for? Would your uncle and his sons have died so that we might be happy? Would any one have given you an appointment? Was there any chance that even a beggarly clerkship would tumble into your arms? And had we not already waited for this for years; hoping against hope, striving against certainty, leaving no stone un turned so tha,t we might find only a mis erable hundred a year to depend upon "So you married old Samuel Earle in stead!" he said bitterly. "I have married a worthy, kind-hearted man, who Is good to me, and who has placed me above want why go over the old ground again? In these last few moments, Brian, spare me the re- proaches which, perhaps, I may deserve, but which are certainly unavailing now." "Darling darling!" he cried, with a passionate despair, "mine always and ever, in heart and soul, wherever you may be." She did not check him. This was no moment for the exhibition of a sham prudery which she, did not feel. 'She was putting a whole universe between them, so that she might be as true to the man she had married as to the man whom she loved; and she would not in this moment of a farewell, that was in all human probability eternal, cavil at the strong expression of a love which had never been hidden between them. Her tears flowed fast, raining down thickly upon the clenched hands which grasped ber own. "You know," she cried, suddenly throwing back her head "you know that to my dying day I shall love you the same, but you you must bo happy, Bri an, not now, -I know, but after a bit, time will reconcile you to life, and you will marry." "I shall never marry," he answered resolutely, "never as long as I live. Itosamond, I swear to you that never will I make any other woman wife but you. I can always wait; how can one tell what changes life may 'not bring? Ten, twenty, fifty years!, what is time to such a love as mine? Will it not last forever, shall nnythiug ever change or dim its fervor? Can I not always wait -wait on and hope?" And bo Brian, as he swore, believed In his own oaths, and Rosamond believ ed in them too. Then glancing beyond the Btrong young form of the man she loved. Mrs. Earle's eyes rested suddenly upon another figure that came clamber ing up the companion stair on to the deck, a short, tat, nine oia geniiemnu, with crar whiskers, who emerged pant- Inelv from the lower regions, looking hither and thither as he camo up as Hinuirh In search of some one. She neither moved fartfier from Dea mnml. nor ,did she withdraw her hands from ills only she tightened her hold for one Instant upon his fingers, and a swift warning glance shot from her eyes Into his. Brian's back was turned to th newcomer, but he understood ue geni y dropped one of Rosamond's hands, the other still in his grasp, rw.u, -- " - , . Ti ed round aim mei rumuui ao invenril tllCm. fDesmbnd! not gone on shore yet? TiilSf determined 10 see mu mk ui us, th'eu?" ,, ., "I was wishing your wife," the words came out with an effort, "another Kood-by." . , "And we aro both of us crying over It." said Mrs. Earle, smiling : through her tears: 'such old friends as Brian and J ' JJ m, ft eeems quite terrible to us t0jSh 'm .doubt, no doubt, ray dear TUtm tttiua ara very trying a4 old playmates, such as you two aro, must no doubt feel it so;" he looked kindly and sympathetically from ono to the other. Something in his Jionlgn faco touched Rosamond strangely, she twined her hands through her husband's arm, as though to gather strength from contact with him. Brian Desmond turned very white and fell back a stop. And then the Bhoro bell rang. lhe Oriana steamed ranidly toward tho sea. But still Rosamond stood, mo tionless and tearless, gazing back upon tho swiftly vanishing shore, whilo still that other figure was left, solitary now, long after all others had turned away. Brian Desmond stood on nlouo until his eyes could no longer discern even the distant ship that bore away tho woman who wns lost to him forever. CHAPTER II. "Salmon trout, rodst chickens, peas and potatoes. Now I wonder how a cherry tart would do, or would it be too frivolous, Daddy?" The voice seemed to come from the floor, somewhere down by tho white mus lin window curtains. Prof. Laybourne, who was engrossed in tho minute examination of the me chanism of a grasshopper's thigh through his famous microscope, raised his vener able head for one moment as tho small childish voice struck upon his car. "What is my Kitten chattering about down there?" he said, making a pencil note upon the manuscript by his side. "I wns only wondering if old men liked cherry tart, Daddy?" "Whenever they can get It, I should say, Kitten! Apropos of what is that wise remark, and whnt old man, aro you proposing to regale In so succulent a fashion?" "What old man? Oh, daddy! I do' be lieve you have beetles on tho brain to such an extent that you are losing your memory. Hnve you forgotten that this Is the day that your friend, Mr. Des mond, is coming to stay with you?" "And you call him an 'old man, Kit ten? Why, he is quite a lad." "You said he was thirty-eight, Dad dy," replied the small voice reproachful ly. "I call that quite old. Why, he is twenty-two years older than I am, old enough to be my fathqr why, It's near ly forty," In a voice of horror. The professor laughed. "You must consider me a sort of Methuselah, a fos sil of pre-Adamite date, then. Do you know that I am over sixty, Kitten?" "Ah, but you are my Daddy," she an swered, with Indescribable tenderness in her voice. "Pray, what have you got upon your mind, Miss Laybourne?" Inquired her father, with a smile, in answer to his daughter's last observation. "Your dinner, Mr. Professor. I have noticed, daddy, that although you are a very great man, your intellect is often more sluggish than mine. Now give me a man about to arrive by the 0 o'clock train on a certain day, my mind instantly fixes itself upon one Idea, and that idea is naturally dinner; your brain seems to be brought far more slowly and with inconceivable difficulty to this point" "Not at all, Kitten," answered the pro fessor, taking up a letter which lay upon the table; "since I have heard this morn ing from Brian Desmond that he will not arrive till 10 o'clock to-night, my intellect naturally bounded beyond the dinner hour at once, and fixed Itself upon " "Supper! Interrupted Kitten, triumph antly. "And what are we to have lor supper, then?" "Why, the same thing as dinner, to be sure: salmon trout cold, chickens cold, salad Instead of peas, and cherry tart cold, too; that Is to say, If yon think he will eat cherry tart," she added, with a curiously childish anxiety. "But you will have to go to bed, Kit ten; little girls can't sit up to late sup-, pers. Besides, Desmond is coming to see me upon business, so we shall do just as well without you to-night." Kitten laughed, aue uiu not oitcn laugh. Her fun was more often ex nressed in a certain demure dryness pe culiar to herseir laugmer. was not, per bans, indigenous to the soli of the pro fessor's household; but when at rare intervals Kitten laughed, her laugh was very sweet to hear. It was never loud or noisy, It could hardly even be cafled hearty, and yet It was pleasant to listen to. like the rippnng note or a cageu bird that warbles a response to some Inner irush of feeling of Its own. She fluttered away out of the room, her thoughts back again with the cherry tart and the supper, and the professor was left alone. Hut he did not go back to his micro scope. He leaned his pale face, lined and scored like an ancient parchment with study and thought, upon his hand and sighed. "What Is to become of her?" he said -inli "Strange creature, half mine, half her mother's, inheriting something frnm each, and from both tne ratal ueii cacy of constitution that was common ..a wii; who is to care for her when I am gone? Into whose hands am I to leave my frail treasure, with her wild, untrained mind and her shrewd, sensjtlve soul? Will Desmond help me, I wonder, for the sake of the service I once ren dered to his father An, we snaii see, wo Hhall see. I con leave my manu' scripts and collections to my country, but to whom sunn i leave j sweeter legacy than any other?" Tho remains of tho cold supper, which had caused so many anxious thought to n. n.,n housekeeper, lay still upon tho table; ample justice bad been done to it by tho late-arriving guest. A lamp with a wide red silk shade lighted tho room with a warm radiance, some roses in glass bowls decorated the simple while a dish of crimson currants, piled up high in an antique Chelsea dish, add ed yot another touch of feminine taste to Uiu reimnM , ,t itin. imv has ft good housekeeper, said Brian Desmond to himself, as ho leaned back In HM cnair, H was a little at a low, certainly, to understand exactly why tho sag" sked him to come and stay with him. Brian had no scientific tastes, and ho Knew nothing whatever about beotles and grubs and winged creatures of tho air. Ho waa not even n clever man, according to the modern Ideas of clever ness. Ho was neither an author nor an artist. Mr. Desmond was simply a mod erately well-educated gentleman of ex pensive tastes and luxurious habits, which an acquisition of most unexpected wealth had, within tho last few years, enabled him to gratify. Ho could not, therefore, concolvo why tho professor, who was an old man. and In his way a great man, had chosen to seek his socie ty In so marked a manner on tho present occasion. While ho was pondering upon this sub ject, Mr. Laybourne interrupted his med itations by tho following words: "Now, I daresay, my dear Desmond, that you aro at this very moment won dering why I hnve Invited you to como down all this way to spend a few days with me. I take It very kindly of you. I lead a life of retirement and study. I have no inducement to offer to a man of your ago and tastes, and" yet you havo done mo the honor to leave your Lon don friends and your London gaieties to como down and seo nn old Diogenes in his tub." 'The honor, Professor, Is nil for me," replied Desmond, "that a man with so world-wide n reputation ns yours should seek the society of an Insignificant per son like myself " "Walt, wait, my friend." Interrupted the old man, with his gcntlo smile, "if ou had studied animal life as much as I have, you would know thnt there is no effect which has not a cause. "Perhaps you have heard, Desmond, that I was onco mnrricd," ho said quiet ly, not looking nt his guest. "My wife died In child-birth." "Yes?" Desmond looked up with In terest For a few seconds Mr. Laybourne was silent, then looking up and meeting his guest's eyes, ho continued: "My littlo girl is a great source of anxiety to me, She inherits her mother's tendency to consumption, and, I fear, my own un sound constitution. Desmond, I have an original disease of the heart. 'X am deeply distressed; are you sure?" 'There is, unfortunately, no doubt whatever about It. I have been aware of it for some years and I have the first medical opinions to confirm what had long been my own conviction. I am in no appreciable danger, I may live years and die of something else, again I may drop down dead this very night: what I want to know Is," he added, with a sud den break In his voice, "what is to be come of my little girl In thnt case? ' Brian was uncertain how to answer; ho balanced his knife more anxiously than ever and murmured something about female relatives. "She has none, not one, cither on her mother's side or my own; all are dead have followers and worshipers by tho score; these go for nothing; and I hnve also a number of professional acquaint ances, but where among them nil shall I find a man fit to take charge of a child a woman child?" For half a moment he paused, then said again, very earnestly "Brian Desmond, will you take the charge of my orphan child?" Brian looked startled. "I? I am not fit. My life is a wan dering one. I am here to-day, gone to morrow. Sometimes I .travel in wild countries, sometimes I spend months in the racket of a London season; do you indeed think such a man as I am can be fit for the charge of a child?" The professor sighed deeply. 'Chen vou decline." he said, sadly. "No, no, do not think that uut your proposition Is so strange, so unexpect ed: give me but a moment to think. Ah! yes. I have a cousin, a sweet, good woman with children of her own; your little girl could be left with her and I could see after her occasionally; thnt would be a happy home for her; I am sure she would take her gladly. Mr. Laybourne. do not be uneasy about your child's future, I will do what you ask of me." (To be continued.) . . . - .aaaa . ! mmimtmim m - I uim rati had gwqwwwvvvv x nup ti ,lm. & . . . . . .

Miss Reel smiled "Let me tell you about a little boy,' Klin slid. "To this littlo boy thero were given two Images of plaster, coated on the outslde.witli pink sugar. He wanted to cat the Images, but he wns warned on no account to do so. " 'They nro poison,' lie wns told. 'If you eat them, it will kill you.' "However, the little boy wan dubi ous.

This Invincible nnd Invulnerable wnr vessel is to be nnmed Dreadnought, and tho British admiralty has designed her to bo cnpublo of equaling her name. She will mount more heavy guns thnn any two battleships now nilont; will be nble to withstand nn attack from n Hubmnrlno, nnd If she hnppcns to touch off n floating mine will be nble to continue afloat until n port Is reached. In addition to theso enviable virtues, the Dreadnought will also hnve great speed, nnd, if Bho wants to "turn tall" her engines, de veloping n speed of 21 knots an hour, will enable her to outdistance any too pressing foe. Even If overtaken, tho very thick nrmor plating will enablo her to stand unusual punishment, and for dealing wltli torpedo boats she will havo a small tin tt cry of one-pounders and six-pounders. She Will also bo armed with torpedo tubes, but will be unique in having no secondary bat tery. No details of the armor to be placed on tho Dreadnought have been given, but t Is known that she will bo Uio most completely armored ship afloat Her nrmor alone will weigh about 6,- 000 tons. In gunpower the Dread nought Is designed to be the most for midable warship ever seen. No bat tleshlp in tho world to-day carries more than four 12-lncli guns, but tho Drendnough will mount no fewer than ten, or two and n half times as many ns any ship afloat. This enormous bat tery of 12-Inch rifles will have n com blued muzzle energy of 480,000 foot- .tons. Each of these big guns will throw n shell weighing 850 pounds, tho combined bnttery being nble to throw over four tons of projectiles nt ono discharge. The Dreadnought will bo able to throw this immense wcjght of metal a dlstanco of five or six miles, nt which range the shells would plerco the armor of practically nny battleship afloat. Progress in Battleships. There hns been a wonderful nd vance In the development of battle ships within the last ten years. In 1895 Great Britain had twenty-three armored ships, each of more than 10, 000 tons. To-day, if there nro lnclud. ed tho ships being built, she has sixty, In 1805 the heaviest British battle ship was the Royal Sovereign, of 14. 200 tons. Thero were eight ships of tills type, and they wore regarded an tho finest n float Franco at that time had fourteen battleships, each of over lU.uw ions displacement, the largest being the Itouvor. of 12.205 tons, 'more nre now twenty-six battleships, each of more than 10,000 tons, in the Froncn navy, the Heaviest uuwk ,1,u '-'" cratlc class, now building, ships of 14, OJB tous. Italy, In 1805, had ten bat tleships ranking above tho 10,000-ton class, tho heaviest being tho Lepnnto, a in.OOO-ton Bhlp, built in issi, aim no heavily armed and armored that she almost found It difficult to get out of her own way. Sho Is now ranked as a second-clnss battleship; but sho Is not considered lit to stand even in that line. Tho Italia, sister ship to tho Lepauto, was built In 1880, nnd was for many years tho largest bat tleship afloat. Sho represents an cnriy attempt to build a monster battle ship, but, apart from size, sno nas never been considered at all formida ble. Italy now has fourteen battle ships, each over 10,000 tons, tho heavi est being the Rcglna Mnrghcrita, u,- 124 tons. In 1805 the United States and Gor- many were equal as to battleships of over 10,000 tons. Each had four; tho United Btntca had the heaviest ship in tho Iowa, of 11,340 tons. Germany's four wero uniformly 10,300 tons. Now Germany has eighteen heavy battle ships, and six building. Tho United States has twelve, wltli thirteen build ing nnd two projected. Tho henvlest German battleships to-day are her 12,-097-ton class; tho heaviest In tho Uni ted States is tho Connecticut class, 10,000 tons. Tho wars of tho United States wltli Spnln and Japan wltli Russia have not been without their lessons to the naval powers, and tho tendency Is to build J cussed in polite society.
