Prisoners and Captives By II. S. cuapteh xu. Easton laughed reassuringly. 1 1 was not rfrnl.l of clever women. Miss Win ter must almost have heard the laugh. while there was still nui!i on hi face as he bowed before her. "I have never," ho said. he seated himself, "been st nil entertainment of I hi descript ion before, 1 am only A he ginner. In our country we manage things diffrrently; and I ennnot yet understand how min'li talking and so little notion n btnefit any cause." "Hut," said Miss Winter, "yon are not new to England. There is nothing about ou to lend one to that conclusion." "Thank you," he replied, gravely. "My claw-hammer coat was made in Piecadil ly, bo I suppose it is all right." lie looked down at the garment in quesiion, and dusted the sleeves lightly witl. a perfectly gloved hand. yon like it." he inquired simply. Miss Winter was becoming interested. She therefore quelled a sudden desire to laugh, and answered: "Yes; it is a very nice coat." "I am not," he said, after a pause, "new to England, hut I have not moved much !n Iondon society. 1 supise the men do all the moving in your society? th.-y seem to. The wvmen sit mostly still and wait till the men come to them. With us It is different." "The women." replied this womanly lady, "are beginning to move with us. anil from what 1 have seen of the result, I rather incline toward the old policy of itting still." He turned and looked at her with a little nod. There was in his queer, rest less eyes a distinct glance of approval. "Yes," he said, "yes. So 1 should sur mise. Our ladies are very fascinating, and very clever, and all that, but but the young men do not seoni to make such a pretty show of loving them as we read of in olden times. At all events, they do not continue to show them that regard which. 1 remember, my father showed toward my mother." "I myself am an humble admirer of the womanly school." "And I." added Easton. "Now," he continued, after a pause, "do tell rne, what da all these gov! people think they are doing here to-night V" "They think firstly," replied Miss Win ter, "that they are getting their names Into the fashionnble society papers. Sec ondly, that their natural or arificial adornment is creating a distinct inipres- ion. Thirdly, and lastly, that they are assisting in some indefinite way toward the solution of a problem of which the rudiments are entirely unknown." "Then in England, as well as in my own country, charity is a recognized play thing of society," suggested Easton. "Yes. We take It up in late autumn and winter, when there are no races, no regattas, nor lawn tennis parties." "Ah ! then," said the American, "so ciety ia very much the same here as else where." At this moment Oswin Grace passed within earshot of them. He heard the remark, and recognized the voice. When he turned, his surprise at seeing Miss I inter ana rasron loge iner so marl ed as to cause a little frown to pass across the queer, wistful face of the American. He returned the young Eng lishman's comprehensive bow, however, with perfect equanimity. "You know Oswin Grace?" inquired Miss Winter. "Oh, yes," was the cool reply; "Tyars brought him to my rooms one evening." Miss Winter skillfully concealed eager ness. "They are great friends," she said, lightly. "Ye-es. Yes, Tyars constantly talks of him." "I suppose," continued Miss Winter, in the same indifferently conversational way, "that they have many interests in com mon ; both being sailors. At least, I be lieve Claud Tyars considers himself a sailor now." This was clever, and the wary little man paused. He felt convinced that Miss Winter knew less of the past life of Tyars than she would have him believe. More over, he suspected that she had never hitherto called him Claud Tyars. The Implied familiarity was a trap, womanly, clever and subtle; but Easton avoided It with equal skill. He maintained an easy silence. Immediately afterward, how ever, he made a blunder. "Oswin," sajd Miss Winter, "is a great friend of mine, and I think Helen is my greatest friend." "A sister?" inquired Easton, rashly. "Yes. Mr. Tyars has not spoken of her, then?" "No. Tyars did not tell me that Grace bad a sister." There was a short pause. Perhaps the American heard the little sigh of relief given by bis companion, marking, as it were, the relaxation of an effort ; such a sigh as an athlete gives when be has cored a success and his weary muscles fall into repose. He became instantly conscious of his blunder. He had been outwitted by this pleasant woman. He Matthew Mark Easton a born In triguer, a man with real genius for con spiracy. "Ah !" reflected Miss Winter, "why has Mr. Tyars omitted to make mention of Helen's existence?" And with feminine Intuition she made a hasty mental note of this important Item. "So," mused Easton, during the same pause, "there is a Miss Grace, and Tyars never mentioned her. I must be very careful. Seems to me that there are two men at stake here, not one ; and I cannot afford to lose two sailors such as these." Miss Winter was now drawn into a vortex of light-hearted idlers bent upon a systematic inspection of the pictures, and from their rauks Easton took the first opportunity of dropping away unobserved. They did not speak again during the even ing; but the little seed was sown the little seed of mutual esteem or mutual dislike, a the case may be, which under either circumstance seems to draw some people together here In life to spread its subtle tendrils, Intertwined and knit together, until their united strength is a tbiug undreamed of. "1 seem," reflected Easton, subsequent Jy, "to have met that little English lady omewhere before. Her ways of speaking, and bar g""' of ainnutaln haraalf In MERRIMAN a cheery wsj, as if nothing mattered very much, arc familiar to me, I certainly have not seen her before In this vale of sorrow, as the lady writers call it. I wonder where I have met her." It happened to fall to the lot of Claud Tyars to shut the d,or of Miss Wlntvr's comfortable brougham; while Grace, who had helped her in, stood back and nodded a good night. 'the lady leaned back against the soft cushion, and drew her cloak more anug ly round her. The flashing light of street lamp or carriage showed her face to be grave and thoughtful. She was realising that Claud Tyars was something more than a mere lover of intrigue, mnklng a mystery out of a very ordinary love affair. She was recognising now that matters were more serious than she had at first considered them. CHAPTER XIV. Miss Winter sometimes fell a victim to a longing for labor. She sometimes felt useless, and looked beyond the work that lay at hand for heavier labor. When she heard of giod works done by women, she longed to do something also. Hut it was only at times that Miss Winter gave way to this weakness, ami she was very quiet about it. When the paroxysm was upon her. she put on a thick veil, her quietest dress, and took the omnibus to Tower Hill. She was too well acquainted with the world to go empty-handed and to make those trivial mistakes by which many well-meaning women reduce charity to the ludicrous. She had an old bag spe cially devoted to this secret vice, for one cannot carry half pounds of butter, pack ets of tea. anil pounds of raw sausages in one's best handbag. The recipients of her charity were a race of men overlooked by charity or ganizations, ignored by those bland dis tributors of leaflet literature who call themselves the Sailors' Friend. Very few people find themselves by accident in the Ixindon Pock or the St. Kathertne's Iock: in fact, both those basins are rath er difficult to find. The shipkeeper is a strange, amphibi ous creature. Ills calling Is afloat, his business on the waters, and yet he Is no sailor. In busier times he rarely )Nnt more than two months on board of one ship; n)w there are men living week after week, month after month, year after year on the same vessel. Many of them never set foot outside the dock gates; some there are who remain afloat always. Miss Winter had heard of these ships. and from different sources she gradually learned that there were men living on board of them ; men whose lives were al most as solitary as that of a sailor cast upon some desert island. It seems strange that within the roar of city life, almost within stone s throw of the crowded streets, there should be men living day after day without speaking a word to their fellow creatures. For if they do not choose to come ashore, certainly no one will trouble to go on board and see them. In course of time she evolved the Idea of going to the docks to see if it was difficult to get on board these ships, and there she discovered that there was noth ing easier. It was merely a matter of paying, as it is in every other part of the world. At first her advances caused consterna tion, but, woman like, she gradually made her way, never being guilty of one retro grade step. A few distrusted her motives, some thought she was merely a fool, oth ers concluded she had "got religion." These latter were the first to welcome her. The explanation was so simple, and it had served to account for stranger conduct than this. One and all appreciated the butter and the sausages. Some made use of the soap, and a few read the newspapers she brought them Soon Miss Winter found that her ad vent was looked for. The responsibilities of beneficence began to muke themselves felt. She commenced to know personally these quaint old hermits, and found thut there were sincere and insincere shipkeep ers sblpkeepers who were interesting and othrs who were mere nonentities. On the whole, she gave preference to those who took the butter and the sausages and left the soap. These latter were old fel lows who had never washed, and did not see the good of changing their habits In old age. This conservatism indicated , character worthy of admiration, and supe rior to that of such as asked for more soap and hinted at tracts. She became more and more Interested in this work, and lapsed into the habit of going to the docks once a week, at least. As Claud Tyars frequented the same spot with an equal regularity, their meeting was only a question of time. Tbey bad missed each other several times by the merest chance, but at last they came face to face In a most unde niable manner. The morning was rather foggy, and in consequence the dock was more silent and sleepier than usual. Miss Winter having just left a boat, was mounting the steep wet steps from the edge of the slimy water, when a tall man, emerging from the fog, came to the top of the stairs and hailed the boat. "Wait a minute," he said; "I want you." He came down a step or two and stood to one side to let Miss Winter pass. In doing so, he looked at her, and she, glancing up to thank him, gave a little start. "Ah !' she exclaimed. "You here Mr. Tyars?" He raised his bat without betraying any surprise. "Yes," he answered, "of course. The docks have a natural attraction for me a sailor." "I forgot," she said, looking calmly at him, "that you were a sailor." She had been betrayed Into surprise, but In a moment her usual alertness re turned to her. She passed on, and be followed her. "Are you alone?" be Inquired. "Oh, yes," she replied, lightly. "I am quite at home here. I come nearly every week and Interrupt the meditations of the ship keepers. I look after their tem poral welfare. It Is quite my own Idea, I assure you, that I have no connection with any philanthropic society." "Tracts?" be Inquired, shortly. I "No; no tracts." she replied. "San . sages, butter and soap - essentially of this ' world." lie was walking beside her, stilling his ; step w ith an implied sense of protection, almost of approbation, which annoyed her. ! "There may bo," he suggest ed, half Ironically, "a hidden motive In the soap." "Hut there I not," she replied, sharply, "I advocate cleanliness only. Personally, I prefer the dirty ones." "Probably," he said, "you do a great deal of good. These poor fellows lead a very lonely life. You must seem to them like a being from another world." "So I am. Mr. Tyars," she said, still upholding her work. "Quite another world." Then she suddenly laid aside her grav ity with that strange inconsequence which Is one of the many Important difference between the male and female mind. "You speak feelingly," she continued. In thinly veiled mockery. "Perhaps you have been a ship keeper yourself. You seem to have been a g.d many thing." "Yes." was the calm reply. "I haw. I was onv a ship keeper In the Southern Atlantic." She was silenced. The details of his terrible experience on board th fever- Piricsen niercnaniman Had never hwn Imagine them from the official account he - v " SIS' IIMUt Ulh " I had been forced to publish Suddenly this cheerful little lady had realised the pvttincs of her own exist ence, the futility of her own small ca price. She glanced up at him, almost meditating an apology. Observant and nnll-f ii'al si a afi.t n-m -It.

In one respect Tyars was a common place man. lie osessed the genius of command, which is the genius most often encountered in the world. It Is merely a genius of adaptation, not of creation. Its chief characteristic is a close but un conscious observation of human nature. He understood all who came in contact with him much better than any one of them understood him. Miss Winter was conscious of a reserve in this man's mind which was irrevocably closed to her. He casually glanced into her char acter in passing; if there was an Inner motive beyond his fathom, he remained indifferent to its presence. When their paths crossed he was pleased to meet her, but she never flattered herself that lm would go far out of his way to hear her opinion upon any suhvt.. "If, she said, 'I cared for horrors, I should ask you some day to tell me atmut about those days your ship-keeping days; but I hate horrors. "I am glad," he said, with evident re lief. "I hate horrors, too, and should not make a picturesque story of it." They walked on In silence, feeling rath er more friendly toward each other every moment. It was necessary to pass be neath a crane of which the greasy chain hung loosely right across their path. Ty ars stepped forward, and with a quick turn of the winch-handle, drew the chain taut, and consequently out of her way. It was a mere incident, trivial In its way : but women note these trivialities nad piece them together with a skill and se- quence which men cannot rival or even imitate. Tyar's action showed an Intl mate knowledge with the smallest details of the calling he had chosen to follow. (To be continued.) POVERTY AND PAUPERISM.
