Am ong the first tig arrive waa Smith— "P . Smith,” as Easton playfu lly called him. The old young clerk o f the little office In the city, Pavloaki Smith, was dressed In Irreproachable swallow tail coat and white tie. H e shook hands with Easton, bowing hie gray head in a pe culiar jerky manner, aa if they had not parted at the office two hours before. A fte r him came at intervals three m en; the first elderly and stout, tha oth er tw o younger, but all alike had that peculiar repose o f manner which waa espe cially noticeable In the man caliad P a v loaki. They were evidently foreigners. They spoke English remarkably well, and made few mistakes in grammar. Easton received them with a few words o t wel come. ‘T y a rs ," he aald to each In turn, “ has found a gentleman who w ill serve aa first officer. H e brings him to-night.” “ Is,” Inquired the stout man, who was o f a somewhat ceremonious habit, “ la Mr. Tyara w ell?" “ Quite well, thanks; at least, I aor- mise so,” waa the answer. The two younger men heard tha news without comment.

In thia position it became evident that he waa a contem porary o f tha two younger men, who presently moved toward tha fire and stood talking together in their peculiar Eng lish, while Easton and the stout gentle man exchanged meaningless platitudes. The three younger men had thus grouped themselves together, and when placed in proxim ity there was some sub tle point o f resemblance between them which could not at first sight be defined. It lay only in tha eyea, fo r in build and complexion there waa no atrlking llke- nena. Each o f theaa three men had a singularly alow glance.
