Yolande went buck to her father, who, though closely watching her, wn stand Ins with tho Grahams; and sho told them of the mission with which aha hnd !ccn Intrusted. At lust tho crowd began to rosolvo Itself Into those who were go ing nial thoso who were remaining be hind. Mrs. Grahnm was In despair be cnuse of the non-nppearaneo of her broth er. "I'll tell yon what It Is," said Col. Graham, "I Itellevo that ho has ncrer heard that .tho ships don't stop at Southampton now. Never mind, Polly; ho can go oTcrland If ho wanta to catch us up at Cairo." At Tilllinry there was the usual scram ble of getting tho luggage transferred to tho noisy Uttlo tender. When, after lone delays, tho tender was drawing near the side of the huge steamer, of course all eyes were turned to tho decks above, where, the picturesque costumes of the lascar' crow were tho most conspicuous points of color. "There he Is I can make hl out," observed Col. Graham, as he regarded a group of young men who were up on the hurricane, deck, leaning over the rail, and watching the approach of the ten der. There is Jack I Mucins and young Mackenzie of Sleat oh, there's Ogllvy'a brothcr-ln-law what do yon call hlra? tho long fellow who broke his leg at Bombay there's young Frsxcr, too, eye-1 wo are oft really and truly going away from England altogether quit from Its shores V Hit manner had nhndst Instantly changed. Ills spirits quickly brightened up. lie mado himself most agreeable to Mrs. Graham: ami was humorous In his ijulet, half-sardonic way, and was alto- getner pleased with tho appearance and the appointments of the ship. To fancy this great mass of metal moving away like that and the throbbing of the screw scarcely to bo detected I And at dinner, too. In the evening It was a delight to Yolande to sit next him and listen to his chuckles and his little Jokes. Care seemed to have left him al together. The night, when they went on deck again, was dark; but a dark night pleased him as much at anything. Yo- lanue was walking with him. And then they sat down with their friends; and Mr. Graham had much to talk about. Yolande tat silent. Far away In the darkness a long, thin, dull lino of gold was visible; she had been told that these were the lights of Hast ings. It Is a strange thing to sail past a country In tho night time and to think of all the beating human hearts It con tains of the griefs, and despairs, and hushed joys, all hidden away there in the silence. And perhaps Yolande was thinking most of all of the rtoor mother whose name she did not know, whom sne snouid never see again but whose glass and all a regular gathering of the J heart she knew right well was heavy " wiui us acning sorrow, it was her flrst actual contact with human clans. Ily this time everybody was scram bling on the paddle boxes of tho tender, and from thence ascending to the deck of the steamer. The Master of Lynn was standing by tho gangway, awaiting his sister. He was a young man of four or five and twenty, slim, well built, with pale, olive complexion and a pefectly clean-shaven face; and he had the square forehead, the well-marked eyebrows, and the pleasant gray eyes with dark lashes that his sister had. "How are you, Graham? How are you. Polly V he said. "Well, I like your coolness!" his sis ter said, angrily, "Why were you not misery. It was the third evening out that she had to put tho flowers overboard on the wide and sad and uncertain grave. She did not wish anyone to see her, some how; she could not make It a public ceremony this compliance with the pa thetic, futile wishes of the poor mother. She had most carefully kept the flower sprinkled with water, and. despite of that, they were sadly faded and shrlr eled, but she had purchased another bas ketful at Malta, and these were fresh enough. What mattered? The time was too jague; the vessel's course too uncer- flbHartKiSSaw'TCt'tSriilBaTiT flWi .JlPlVttiKfAS?iLflnik?fl JVU'!

The ship's oillcers brought her the charts out of the chart room, to show her how far the vessel hnd got un her course. 'Die captain allowed her to go on the bridge, and gave her his own gins when n distant sail was to be seen. And the young soldiers, when they were not In the smoking room, and when they were not picking up rope quoits for Mrs. Gra ham, had nn eye on tho many starved bints fluttering nbout. and when titer could they caught one and brought It to Miss Wlntrrliourue, who was glad to take the wild-eyed, Muttering wanderer down into (lie saloon and put Us beak lor a second or two Into a glass of fresh water. Once or twice Yolande caught one of these swallows. Day after day passes! without change. The young Master of Lynn very dili gently, and with a Jacob like modesty and patience, strove to win Yolnlide' regard; but although she was always most friendly toward hint and pleased to chat with him, or walk the hurricane deck with him, she seemed to treat him precisely ns she treated any of tho oth ers. If there was one whom she espe cially favored, It was Col. Graham, whoso curt, sardonic speeches amused her. At last they arrived at Port Said, that curious, rectnngular-strected. shanty-built place, that looks like Cheyenne painted pink and whlto; and of course there was much wonder and Interest lit beholding land again, and green water, and the swarming boats with their Greeks and Maltese and Negroes nnd Arabs, all In their various costume. Hut It was with a far greater Interest that they regarded the picture round them when the vessel had started again, and was slowly and silently stealing away Into the wide and lonely desert laud, by means of this wat er highway. The Sucx canal had been rather n commonplace phrase to Yolande; mixed up with monetary affair mostly; and suggestive of machinery. Hut all this was strange nnd new; and the vessel was going so slowly that the engines were scarcely heard; she seemed to glide into this dream-world of silver sky and far-reaching wastes of yellow sand. It was so silent, and so wide, and so lone ly. For the most part the horiton line was a mirage, and they watched the con tinual undulations of the silver-white waves; and even the strange reflections of what appeared to be Islands; but here there was not even a paint to break the monotony of the deicrt swly the little tamarisk bushes dotting the sand. From n marsh a red legged flamingo rose, slow ly winging it way to the south. Then a string of camels came nlong with forward-stretching heads and broad, slow- pacing feet; the Hednulns either perched on tho backs of the animals or striding through the sand by their side, their faces looking black In contrast to their white wide-flowing garments. Ami so they gilded through the silent, gray, silver world. Tho night saw another scene. They were anchored in another part of the canal, where the banks were high and steep; and the moonlight was surpass Ingly vivid, lrSKHH tMW& i IWX?ZJ- AWWM&Si.

Let me Introduce you to Miss Wintcrbourne lolande, dear, this U my brother Archie Mr. Winter- bourne, my brother, Mr. Leslie. Well, now, what have you to say for yourself?" "Not much," he said, smiling good naturedly, and taking some wrap and thing from her which her husband had selfishly allowed her to carry. "I went down to see some fellow at Chatham last night; and of course I stayed there and came over in the morning. Sorry I vexed you. You sec, MUs WInterbounie, my sister liken platform parade; she likes to havo people round her for half nu hour before the train start; and she liken to walk up and down, for It shows off ber figure and her dress; isn't that so, Polly V There waa a great bustle and confusion on board; friend givlu: farewell men us gen, paasvnger seeking out their cab Ins; the bare-armed and bare-footed las cars, with their blue blouses and red turbans, hoisting luggage on to their shoulder and carrying it along the pa--eageH. Yolande stole away to her own cabin, and carefully and religiously opened the little basket that held the flowers, to see whether they might not be the bet ter for a sprinkling of water. They were rather expensive flower for a poor woman Fo have bought Yolande poured oiiio water Into the wash-hand basin, and dipped her fingers Into It; and. very carefullyand tenderly sprinkled the 'flow ers over. And then she considered what was likely to be thu coolest aud safest place In the cabin for them; and hung tho basket there; nnd then came out gain shutting the door, Involuntarily, with quietness. She passed through the saloon and went up on deck. Her father was still tliero. He went down with her to the saloon, and took his place in alienee. 'olaudo sat next to Mrs. Graham, who woe very talkative and merry. Young Archlo Leslie was opposite; so wan Col. Graham. They were mostly Idling; but Yolande we hungry, and they wero all anxious to help her at once, though the silent dusky stowards knew their duties well enough. IJy and by, when they were talking about anything or nothlug, It occurred to the Master of Lynn to say: "I suppose you don't know thnt we are off?" Mr. Wlnterbourne quickly got up and went to one of tho ports; there, undoubt edly, were the river banks slowly, slow ly going astern. He went back to bis eat, putting his hand on Yolande' boulder as ha sat down. "YftUnde," said h, "do yoo ksir that tain; the trifles of flower would soon be swallowed up In the solitary sea. Hut It wa the remembrance of the mother she was thinking of. . Sho chose a moment when everyone wa down below at dinner, and the deck was quite deserted. She took the two little baskets to the rail; and there, Tery slowly aud reverently, she took out hand ful after handful of the flowers and drop ped them down on the waves, and watch ed them go floating and floating out and out on the swaying water. The tears were running down her face; and she hnd forgotten whether there was any body by or not. Hho was thinking of tho poor woman In England. Would she know? Could she see? Va she sure that her request would not be for gotten? And Indeed she had not gone so lar wrong when she bad trusted to the look of Yolande' face. the moonlight threw the shadow of the rigging nf the ship so sharply that every spar and rope was traced on the silver clear sand. There was an almost op pressive silence In this desert solitude; a dark animal that came along through the tamarisk bushes ome said It was a JaCkal disappeared up and over ths Hand-mountain liko a ghost. And in the midst of this weird cold moonlight and silence these people began to get up a dance alter dinner. I lie piano was brought on deck from the saloon. The women folk had put on their prettiest costumes. There had bes-n perhaps a lit tle begging and half promising going on beforehand. The smoking room was dis serted. From the supports of the nwn ing a number of large lanterns had been slung; no that when the ladle he ir nn to nppenr and when the first notes of the music was heard, the scene was a very animated aud pretty one; but so strange with the moonlit desert around. Tlie Master of Lynn had gut hold of Yo lande he had been watching for her ap pearance. (To le continued.) Cll A PTKIt V. "I don't believe In any such simplicity. Men may; women don't. It seems to me more thu simplicity of an accomplished flirt." The speaker was Mrs. Graham, and she spoke with an air of resentment. "You don't know her," said the Slas ter of Lynn, with involuntary udmira tiun. "I supposo you think you do," his sis ter said, with a "superior" smlie. And then perhaps she wo tired of heorlng so much in praise of Yolande, or perhaps she wished her brother to b cautious; or perhaps she was merely gratuitously ma licious he sdld; "I'll tell you what It Is I should not be at all surprised to hear that she was engaged, and has been en gaged for any length of time." He was struck silent by this fierce suggestion; It bewildered him for a sec ond or two. Then he exclaimed: "Oh, thai Is absurd perfectly absurd! I know she Is not." "It would Ik a Joke," continued his sister, with a sardonic smile, "if that were the explanation of tho wonderful friendliness that puzzles you so much. If she Is engaged, of course she has no fur ther care or embarrassment. Everything Is settled. She is as frank with Dick as with Tom and Harry. Ob, Archie, that would be a Joke I" They were away from the land per haps even forgetful that such a thing ex isted. It seemed quite natural to get up morning after morning to find around them the same bright, brilliant monotony of white-crested blue seas and sunlit deck and fair skies; and each day pass ed with the usual amusements; and then came the still moonlight night, with all Its mysterious charm and loneliness.
