The room as iiiu'lutiiK-vl. and l hi Agnc Winter dwelling therein was the same xvoman. The same strong, finished grace attended her movements, but her eye lacked repose. They wen 1 1n eye i'f mu who In waited ami waited in vain.

"Who Is that?" ;iid Acm Winter to herself. "Who ran that beV" .Sin rose nml wt om or two thins in order about the room. and after glancing Ht the dock, stood mofionleis with her tired eye fixed on the d-or, listening in tently. While she stood there the door was opened, ami the maid announced : "Mr. F.asion." Matthew Mark F.aston came into the ritoni immediately afterward, lie sh.iok hands rather awkwardly, as one see n man sro through the ceremony whose fin der an injured. "How do you d. Mis Winter?" he aaid. crawly. "Wei!." she said in a sharp, unsteady voice, ig.-.oring his question, "what news have you'?" "I have no new- of the ship. Mis Win ter." he replied. "Tell me." she said, "what you have lone." "1 have." he said, "explored every yard of the roast from the North Cape ' ,n' Van river." "And why did you stop at the Yana riverV" askedthe lady, with an air or knowing her ground. "I will tell you afterward." he said: when Mis Grace is with you if if dip does not object to my presence." She drew writing materials toward her nnd wrote: "Mr. F.tston is here: come at once." She read it aloud, and. rinsing the bell, dispatched the note. . "I presume." said Kastoti. slowly, "that the admiral is still with us?" "Yes; he is alive and well. Helen i you will find her a little changed." He raised his eyes to her face. His plan-e was as quic k as ever, hut hi eyes did nt twinkle now: they were grave, and the rapidity of their movement, be ing deprived of brightness, was almost furtive. Then they sit waiting, until the silence became oppressive. Suddenly Kastou sHke w ith a return of the quaint, narrative manner which she reniemlver ed as characteristic. "One evening." he said, "a we were teaming down the Baltic last week a dull warm evening. Tuesday. I guess 1 was standing at the stern rail with my units beneath my rhin. when something fell h-kiii my sleeve. I looked at it curi ously, for I had not seen such a thing for years. It was a tear most singular! I feel like crying jiow. Miss Winter; l should like to sit down on that low chair In the corner there and cry. There are some disappointment that come like the disappointments of childhood when it rained on one's birthday and put a stop to the picnic." Miss Winter said nothing. She merely sat iu her gracious, attentive attitude anl looked at him with sympathetic eyes. "It ("hows." he continual, presentlv, "how entirely one may be mistaken in 'one's own destiny. I never should have considered myself to be the sort of er non into whose life a catastrophe was in tended to break." She still allowed him to continue, anl after a pause he took advuutage of her ttilence. "Some men," he went on, "expect ti liave other livey upon their consciences but their own lives are more or less at equal stake, and the risk is allowed for In their salary, or is suposed to be. I have thirty lives set down on the d-bt Hide of my account, and some of thue lives are chips olf my own." 'I'liirn-V" rniestioned Miss Winter. "There were only eighteen men on board nil told." "Yes; but there were others. I shall tell you when Miss I race comes. It is not a story that one cares to relate more often than necessary." In a few moments they heard the sound of the front door bell. Kaaton rose from tiU seat. lie did not go toward the door, hut stood in the middle of the room, look ing rather breathlessly toward Miss Wil ier, She it was who moved to the door, going out to the head of the stair to meet Helen. "Dear," he heard her say. and her voice was smooth and sweet. "Mr. Kaston is , here; he ha come back." There was no apswer, and a moment later Helen Grace stood before him. A lie took the hand she stretched out to liim with an air almost of bravado, he taw at once the difference hinted at by Miss Winter. It lay in the expression of her face, it hovered in her eyes. It iu to be seen in most ball rooms, and the fuce carrying it are usually beautiful. The striking characteristic of such wom en i their impregnability. "I am glad, Mian Grace," Kaston said, "that you have done me the potior of com ing." And she smiled exactly as he expected tt,e hard, inscrutable "society" smile, which never betrays and is never infec tious. Kite did not. however, trust her- . f to sneuk.

He went on at once, a if anxlou to show hi Hrfect reliance In their discre tion. "This eiedition," he said, "win not dispatched to discover the northeast pas sage. It had quite another purpose. There is a political side to the question.

Together we worked out .. scheme for aiding the escape of a num-Ix-r of the most gifted nihilist men and women who had lieen exiled to Siberii. who were dragging out a miserable felon's existence at the mine for no other crime than the love of their own country.

Hut Tyars was the liest man for the purpose to be found anywhere, and his subordinate olfiivr, Os win Grace, was even letter than Tyars :n his position. A rendezvous was fixed V the mouth of1 the Yana river, and a date was named. Three Russians were dis patched from London to aid in the es cape. They did their share. The party arrived at the spot fixed, but the ship the Argo nevVr reached them. I ha.-e hern there. 1 have seen the dead bodi-s of nine men one of whom, S-rgius 1'av loski. I knew lying there. They seemed to 1 waiting for the great Assize, when judgment shall be given." He stopped somewhat suddenly, wi.'h .1 jerk, as a man stops in the narration of something which has left an ineff:ns able pain in hi life. After a little pause he returned to the table and slowly folded the rugged maps. The manner in which he did so lietrayed an intimate kuowledg of each frayed corner; but the moveinen: of his lingers were stiff and awkward. Helen was watching him. "And you." she inquired gently ; "you have endured great hardships?" He folded the maps and placed them in the breast pocket of his coat. "Yes," he answered, without meeting her eyes, "I have had a bad time of it." They waited, but he said nothing more. That was the history of the last two years. Presently Helen Grace rose to g. She appeared singularly careless of de tails. Part of the news she had learned was old, the remainder was too fresh to comment upon. She kissed Miss Winter, shook hands with Matthew Mark Kaston, and quickly left the room. "I always felt," said Mis Winter mus ingly, "that something was being conceal ed from us." "At one time I thought you knew all about it. You once warned us against the Russian minister." She thought for some moments, recall ing the incident. "Yes," she said at length, "I remember. It was the merest accident. I suspected nothing." Concealment," pica ! the American, "was absolutely necessary. It made no difference to the expedition, neither add- il to the danger nor detracted from it. I'.ut I did not want Miss Grace and your- lf to think that these two men hail thrown away their lives in attempting such a futile achievement a the northea.it passage. They were better men than that." She smiled a little wearily. "No one will ever suspect," she. said ; for even now that you have told me th story I can scarcely realize that it is true. It sounds like some tale of by-gone days; and yet we have a living proof that it is all true that It has all happened. "Helen Grace he suggested. "Of course you knew. And did you know about him?" He did not reply at once, but glanced at her keenly. "I knew that he loved her," was the answer. "Are you going to stay in England?" she asked. "No :" and ho offered her his hand ; I am going back to America for some years. at all events. "When you come back to England." she said, in rather a faint voice, "will you come and see me?" "Do vou mean that, Mis Winter?" "Yes." His quick, dancing glance was flitting over her whole person. "If I come," he said, with a sudden relapse Into Americanism, "I surmise It will be to tell you something else some thing I thought I never should tell you." She stood quite still, a dignified, self possessed woman, but never raised her eyes. "Do you still mean It?" She gave a little nod. The door handle rattled in his grasp, as if his hand were unsteady. "I thought," he said slowly, "that it was Oswiu Grace." "No." "Never?" he Inquired, sharply. "Never." "Then I stay." And ha closed the door again. (Th end.)

V v X STRANGE CARGOES. t-i--"t--M--l-J--5.,-i"l""" - During n Journey from Peking to Kalgun, In China, the author of "Round AUiut My Peking Garden" was favored by a most extraordinary right, .which she describes as follows : Tout ns wo tiirn.Ml the corner hi il beautiful temple, we came upon a great ' about three pounds of gluten meal to company of men, carrying what seemed two pounds each of the bran and corn to me the most unheard-of cargo, each J menl, giving, of course, a liberal quail uiuu two eagles!

As gluten produces alike, were seated upon the ground considerable body heat, and more w hen when we first caught sight of them, and 1 fed In conjunction with cornmeal. It the men said they were taking the. birds Into Mongolia to recover their plumage, and that they were kept In Peking for the purpose of making eaglu feather fans; but other people told us afterward that the birds were Ix-lng taken to catch hares and other game for their masters, and possibly also to catch more eagles. Probably both stories were correct, -and both agreed that the whole party was to come back In De cemlMT.
