Prisoners
By II. S.
CHAPTEH V. (Continued
The- tiller In the shipping offics at
Tower Hill wer treated on tin following
morn i ng to a strange night. According t,i
formula. th broker of the Martial had
Indicated to the shipping ant horit ie Ihi'ir
desire to pay off the crew of thi vess-d
Hhortly Iwfore the hour named a number
of women began to assemble. Some were
dressed respectably, other wetv of the
lowest class that Lvndon produce; but
II made some attempt at mourning. One
or two wore (heir crape weed with that
Incomprehensible feminine pride In such
habiliment which shows itssdf In all
grade of society, while o:hers were clad
In black maty, ill lit t Inc. evidently har
rowed. A common sorrow, a mutual In
terest, arrved aa Introduction among theae
ladies, and they talked eagerly together.
Scraps of conversation floated over the
black bonnets. One had lost her husband,
another her a.m. a third only her brother.
"Ain't he come yet?" they siked one
another at Interval. "Th aor Ivor- 'itn
that brought 'er 'ome with hia own hand.
I wanter ask him about my man about
hia end."
At laat a hansom cab turned the cor
ner of the Minoriea and pulled up noisily
on the noisy atones, Claud Tyars threw
open the door and stepped out. He had
come to be paid off; he waa the crew of
the Martial.
In a moment he was surrounded by the
women, every one clamoring for news of
her dead sailor. The broker's clerk, an
observant youth, noticed that during the
half hour that followed Tyars never re
ferred to his log-ltook, but answered each
question unerringly from memory. He
gave details, dates and particulars with
out hesitation or doubt. It waa perhaps
owing to a knowledge of the commercial
value of a (rood memory that the young
clerk made note of these details. He
waa not observant enough to take account
of the finer shades of manner, of the in
finite tact with which the survivor of the
crew treated the women folk of hia late
comrades. He did not detect the subtle
art by which some were sent away re
joicing over the dogged, dauntless courage
of their husbands ; he was only conscious
of a feeling of admiration for this man
who, hitherto, had hardly noticed him.
Hut he failed to discern that the difficult
task was accomplished unconsciously. He
did not realize that Claud Tyars possess
ed a gift which ia only second to genius
in worldly value the gift of unobtrusive
ly ruling hia fellow men.
A Tyara drove away from the ship
ping office he saw the street news vend
ers displaying their posters with the
words. "A Wonderful Story of the Sea"
printed in sensational type.
"Hang It !" he muttered, with a vexed
laugh, "I never counted on a notoriety of
this sort."
Presently he bought an evening paper
and read of the exploit of "Captain"
Tyara with a singular lack of pride.
When Mr. Lowell, the owner of the
Martial, offered him the command of the
ship the same afternoon he gravely and
politely declined it. With the ship-owner,
aa with Lieut. Grace, Tyara appeared
quite blind to the necessity of an expla
nation, and none waa asked.
So ended the incident of the Martial.
Its direct bearing upon the life of Claud
Tyara would seem to terminate at the
same moment ; but indirectly the experi
ence thus acquired influenced hia career,
formed to aome extent hia character, and
led as all things great and small lead
us to the end.
CHAITEK VI,
In the meantime Lieut. Grace had re
reived at the bands of hia father and
sister a wurru welcome.
Without announcement of any descrip
tion he made his way from the Admiralty
to IJrook street and knocked at bis fath
er's door. He found the old gentleman
and Miss Helen Grace engaged in the
consumption of afternoon tea.
"Oswin J" exclaimed the old admiral.
"I thought you were on the African
coast."
Helen Grace was a young lady not
much given to exclamatory expressions of
feeling. She rose from the low chair
she habitually occupied and kissed ber
brother. Then she turned his face to
ward the light by the collar of his coat.
"Have you been invalided home?" she
asked.
"No."
"Hut the Foam Is out there still," put
In the Admiral, eager to show hia Inti
mate knowledge of official matters.
"Yes. I came home on a derelict. A
fine, big 'ship without a crew. All dead
of yellow fever exct'pt one. I am glad
that he was picked out by Providence to
survive."
"Why?" inquired Helen.
"Hecause I like him."
"What was he, an officer?" asked the
Admiral.
"Second mate, holding a captain's cer
tificate. I have asked him to dinner to
morrow night."
"Oh!" murmured Helen, doubtfully.
"With bis dog the other survivor."
"Ah!" said Helen in a more interested
tone. "Do they know bow to behave
themselves?"
"I think so both of them," waa the
reply. "Although we did not dress for
dinner on board the Martial.
"It seems to uie," observed the Ad
miral, with an easy chuckle, "that you
did not devote much time at all to the
question of toilet."
"No," replied Grace, frankly. "We
were a shady crew. You see, there were
ouly ten of us to navigate a thousand
ton ship full rigged. We had no time
for personal adornment. You will see
ell about It in the evening paper. I
brought one with me on purpose. May I
have some tea, Helen? It Is months since
1 have seen such an article as bread and
butter."
The girl hastened to supply bis wants,
performing her duties with a deft su re
lies of touch where maidens are not
dolls. While Grace was performing won
ders among the dainties supplied to him,
his father read aloud the details of his
deeds upon the high seas, and Helen
listened with a faint smile of pride upon
her refined face,

"the man you have asked to dinner
what Is he like?"
The naval officer helped himself to a
limp slice of bread and butter with great
thought fulness.
"That is Just the difficulty, " dear,"
he replied. "1 cannot jell you what he
is like, Nvause I don't know. I do not
understand him that Is the long and
short of It. He is above me."
"I suppose." suggested the Admiral,
who held the keener study of hitman
nature in some contempt, "that he 1s
merely a rough sailor man n merchant
captain J"
"No. he Is hardly that. I want you."
continued the lieutenant, after a pause,
turning to his sister, "to Judge for your
self, so will not tell you what I think
about him."
"Then he Is Interesting?"
"Yes, I think you will find him Inter
esting." Helen was already seeking In her mind
how things could be made easy and com
fortable for the unpolished hero whom
her brother had so unceremoniously In
troduced Into the house.
"Agnes Winter was coming to-morrow
to dine, but she can be put off," she ob
served, carelessly.
Agnes Winter why should she be put
off? Iet her come, bv all means."
The little man's manner was perhaps
too indifferent to be either natural or
polite. He was either unconsciously rudo
or exag-rat'.ng an Indifference he did not
feel. Helen, however, continued her re
mark without appearing to notice any
thing. "Would you not." she Inquired, while
replacing In Its vase a flower that had be
come displaced, "rather have him quite
alone when we are by ourselves, I
mean 7
"Oh, no. He is all right. If he Is
go! enough for you, he Is good enough
for Agnes Winter."
"Has he got a suit of dress clothes?"
asked the Admiral, with a blunt laugh.
Lieut. Grace let his hand fall heavily
upon his thigh with a gesture of mock
regret.
"I quite forgot to ask him," he ex
claimed, dramatically.
"There Is some mystery attached to
this person," laughed Helen. Her laugh
ter was a little prolonged in order that
her father, whose duller sense of humor
sometimes failed to follow his son's fan
cy, might comprehend that this was a
joke.
"Well," said the old gentleman, thrust
ing his hands deeply into his p-kets, "I
like a man to come to my table In a
claw-hammer coat."
CHAPTER VII.
Helen's eyes rented for a moment on
her brother's face. With an almost im
perceptible movement of lid and eyebrow
he reassured her.
"What time is dinner? I told him to
come at 7 o'clock," said he, holding out
his cup for more tea.
"That la right," answered Helen.
"You would have done better," said
the Admiral, still unpadded, "to have
given the man a dinner at your club."
"Oh I" replied his son, serenely, "I
wanted you and Helen to make his ac
quaintance ; besides, I could not have In
vited Muggins to the club."
"Muggins '." growled the old gentleman,
interrogatively.
"The dog."
"Ah I Is be a presentable sort of fel
low, then, that you want your sister to
meet him?"
"The dog?" inquired Grace, with much
innocence.
"No," laughed his father, despite him
self; "the man Tyre, or Sidon, or what
ever his name Is."
"Tyars. Yes; I think so. Tyars is
distinctly presentable, or else I would not
have suggested his coming to dine with
Helen and Agnes Winter."
Helen had moved away toward the
window, and was now leaning against the
folded and old-fashioned shutter. She
turned and looked at her brother as he
spoke, with that gentle, womanly scru
tiny. Like her brother, Helen Grace favored
to some extent a gravity of demeanor
when in repose, and her face was of that
refined type which possesses a great mo
bility. Some faces there are which seem
to have brought from old times a recol
lection of gay knights, full of poetry and
full of tight; of troubadours and patient
women. Oswin and Helen Grace were of
this mold. In profile the chiseling of
either face was jierfeet, for Helen waa
but a refined miniature of ber brother;
and in smiling their gray eyes lighted up
with the self-same soft merriment.
As she stood In the soft sunlight look
ing sideways toward her brother her ten
derness was visible. These two were the
only children of a dead mother, who if
she bad never quite understood ber hus
band had at all events possessed the pow
er of loving her children. Oswin Grace
bad left borne early, as all naval men
must, and during the short spells allowed
to him by a grateful country as recrea
tion he bad not learned to know bis sis
ter very well not well enough to forget
that he owed to her the respect due to all
women.
The two men now started a conversa
tion upon very nautical matters, employ
ing such technical terms and waxing so
interested that Helen sought a chair near
the window and settled down to listen
with respectful silence. When the Ad
miral had left the room Oswin crossed
the floor and stood beside his sister, his
scrutinizing glance cast downward.
"How Is Agnes Winter?" he asked.
"She Is very well. Did those flowers
remind you of ber?"
"Ye-es," be replied, slowly. I wonder
why?"
"Because she arranged them, I sup
pose," suggested the girl, looking up sud
denly, as if struck at the possibility of
ber idea being of some weight.
"Perhaps so. She is not engaged yet?"
Helen threaded a needle with some
care and stooped over ber work.
"No; she is Just the same as ever. Al
ways busy, always happy, always a fa
vorite. Hut one never hear the slight
est rumor of an engagement, or even a
flirtation."
"While," added Grace, airily, 'her dear

"Oh! I have my duties. Papa could not

"Indeed?" he Inquired with tine sar

advantages in that direction; but I also
haw had ndv atitages. and fro.n personal

i "Thank you," he said, fervently. "I

stupid heiress perhaps you will withdraw

"That may bo so; but surely a sensible
man does not wait to I allowed.
The question, ho answered, with
mock gravity, "is rather twyond me. It
Is hard to say what a sensible man would
do, because In such matters no rule can
be laid down defining where sense begin
and foolishness ends. The man who got
Agnes Winter would lx sensible, however
he did It."
Presently the girl went to dress for
dinner, leaving her brother standing at
the window, whistling softly beneath hi
breath.

the side of a too scrupulous adherence to
the latest dictates of society. His man
ners were those of a traveled and expe
rienced gentleman. That Is to say. he
was polite without eagerness, pleasant
without gush, semi-interested, semi Indif-
ferent.
Oswin Grace advanced to meet him
with a quick glance of satisfaction at his
irreproachable get-up. which Tyars show
ed no signs of having detected.
Hie nccsvwary introductions were
made, and Tyars displayed the siune per
tect Knowledge or social nanus up to
date. His bow wis pure and simple, and
to the Admiral be offered his hand In
calm, decisive way, which somewhat in
terfered with the old gentleman's dlgnl
fled coldness.
"I think." said Helen at once, with l
characteristic desire to make things pleas-
ont, that we have met before.
She was looking up at Tyars, who,
being very tall, stood a head higher than

Into the recesses of her memory. The re
mark was without interrogative hesita

known to her, and yet her color changed
"Yes," answered Tyars; "I had the
pleasure of dancing with you on several
occasion at the Commemoration three
years ago."
"Hut you are not an Oxford man?
put In Lieut. Grace.
"No."
He did not seem to think It worth
while mentioning that his name was on
the books of the sister university.
"What a good memory you have, Mr,
Tyars ; observed Miss Agnes inter in
a smooth, soft voice. "Perhaps you can
help mine. Have we met before? I kuow
your face."
He turned to her with a smile in which
there wa no light of dawning recollec
tion. .
Hardly, he replied. Hut you were

the stalls at a performance of 'Hamlet'
