The woman of whom they were speak
Ins met him nt Ike Udder. Her face was
paler than usual, and dark circle round
her eyes gave evidence of a sleepless
night. She opened her red lips to speak,
end thea, seeing Vlrkers, stopped ab
ruptly. "Well, what la Itr
She looked from one to the other. "I
came feg Doctor Pine."
Vlckers. with the quick Intelligence
of affection, guessed her errand. "Some
no la II! r
"Miss Sylvia, air. It Is nothing to sig
nify. I think. A little feverish and hot,
and my mtstre "
Vlekers was down the ladder In an In
stant, with scared face. Pine caught the
girl's renad, firm arm. "Whero liaTe
yon been?"
Two great flakes of red came out In
her while checks, and ahe shot an Indig
nant glance at llluot.
"Were you with the child last night ?"
went on Ptoe.
"No; I have not been In the cabin
since dinner yesterday. Mr Vlckers
only called me in just now. Let go my
arm, sir; yau hiirt me."
Pine loosed his huJd as If satisfied at
the reply. "I be your pardon," he
tali!, gruffly. "I did not mean to hurt
you. Hut the fever has broken out In
the prison, and I think the child hat
caught It. You must be cartful where
you go."
Sarah Purfoy stood motionless for au
Instant, In deadly terror. Her lips part
ed, her eyes glittered, and she made a
movement as though to retrace her steps.
"Poor soul!" thought honest Itlunt,
"how the feels for the child! That
lubberly surgeon, he's hurt her! Never
mind, my last," he said, aloud. It was
broad daylight, and he had not as much
courage in love making as at night.
"Don't be afraid. Pre been In ships
with fever before now."
Awaklug. as It were, at the sound of
his voice, ahe came closer to him. "lint
hip fever! I have heard of It! Men
have died like rotten sheep In crowded
reesels like this."
Tusk! Not they. Don't be fright
ened; Mis Sylvia wou't die, nor you
neither." He took her hand. "It may
knock off a few dozen prisoners or so.
They are pretty close packed down
there. What U the matter!"
"Nothing a pain. I did not sleep
last night. I have the toothache," said
ahe, putting her band to her face.
Take some laudanum," aaya Blunt,
with dim recollections of his old mother's
treatment of such ailments. "Old Plne'll
give you some. No. PI! get It for you.
You aha'n't ask that bear for It- Come
Into my cabin."
Blunt'a cabin was In the starboard
Id of the ablp. Just under the awning,
and possessed three windows one look
ing out over the side, and two upon
deck. The corresponding cabin on the
other side was occupied by Mr. Mau
rice Frere. lie closed the door and took
down a small medicine chest.
"Here," aald he, openlug It. "I've
carried this little box for years, but It
ain't often I want to use It. Now, then,
put some of this Into your mouth, and
bold It there."
"Good gracious, Captain Hlunt, you'll
poison me! Give me the bottle; I'll help
myself, ion need not fear. I've used
it before." And she put the bottle In her
pocket.
Her tears were all dry long ago, and
bad only given Increased color to her
face. Th's agreeable woman never wept
long enough to make herself distaste
ful. She raised her dark eyes to bis for
a moment, with a saucy smile, and gain
ed her cabin. It was next to that of
her mistress, and ahe could hear the sick
child feebly moaning. Her tye filled
with tears, real one this time.
"Poor little thing," she said; "I hope
she won't die."
And then ahe threw herself on her bed
and burled her hot head In the pillow.
The Intelligence of the fever seemed to
have terrified her. Had the newa disar
ranged some well-concocted plan of hem 7
Iielng near the accomplishment of some
cherished scheme, long kept In view, had
the audden and unexpected presence of
disease falsified her carefully made cal
culations, and cast an almost Insur
mountable obstacle in her path?
"She die! and through me? How did
I know that he had a fever? Perhaps I
have taken It myself. I feel 111." She
turned over on the bed, as If In pain,
and then started to a sitting position,
etung by a auddon thought. "Perhaps
be might die! The fever apreads quick
ly, and If so, all this plotting will have
been useless. It must be ilono nt once.
It will never do to break down now,"
and taking the phial from her pocket,
alio held It up, to ace bow much It con
tained. It was three parts full. "Kuough
for both," ahe aald, between her sot
teeth. The action of holding up the
bottle reminded her of Illunt, and she
smiled,' "I'll go through with it, and,
If tho worso comes to tho worst, I can
fall back on Maurice." She loosonod the
cork of the phial, so that It would come
ouf with as llttlo uolse as possible, nnd
then placed It carefully lu her bosom.
"I will get a llttlo sleep If I can," alio
ald. "They have got the tiote, and
it shall be doue to-night."
OHAPTKK VL
The folon, Ilufus Dawes, bad stretch
ed himself In hU bunk and tried to
Bleep, But though he was tired and core,
and his bead felt like lead, he could not
bat-keep broad awake. Tbs Jong pull
through the pure air, If It bad tlrsd
ktm, had revived him, and he felt strong
er! but for all that the fatal sickness
that was on him maintained Its hold:
his pulse beat thickly, and his brain
throbbed with unnatural heat. Lying in
his narrow space. In the snnl-d.irkness,
he tossed his limbs about and closed hU
eyes In vain; he could not sleep. His
utmost efforts Induced only an oppress
ive stagnation of thought, through which
ho heard the voices of his fellow-convicts;
while beforo his eyes was the
burning Hydaspes that vessel whose
destruction had destroyed forever all
trace of the unhappy Hlchard Devlne.
As yet there had been no alarm of
fever. The three selsurc had excited
some comment, however, and had it not
been for the counter excitement of the
burning ship, It Is possible that Pine's
precaution would have been thrown
away. The "old hands," who had been
through the passage before, suspected,
but said nothing save among them
selves. It is likely that the weak and
sickly would go first, and that there
would be more room for those remain
ing. The "old hands" wero satisfied.
Three of these old hands were con
versing together just behind the parti
tion of Dawes' bunk. The berths were
five feet square, and each contained six
men. No. 10. the berth occupied by
Dawes, was situated In the corner made
by the Joining of the starboard and cen
ter lines, and behind It was a slight re
cess. In which tho scuttle was fixed.
HU "mates" were at present but three
In unmber, for John Ilex and a cockney
tailor had been removed to the hospital.
The threo that remained were now In
deep conversation In the shelter of the
recess. Of those, a giant seemed to be
the chief. Ills name waa Gabbett.
He waa a returned convict. The other
two were a man named Sanders, known
as "the Moocher," and Jemmy Vetch,
the "Crow." They were talking In whls
pere. but Rufua Dawes, lying with his
head close to the partition, was enabled
to catch much of what they said.
At first the conversation turned on the
catastrophe of the burning ship. From
this It gTew to anecdote of wreck and
adventure, and at last Gabbett said
something which made the listener start
from his Indifferent efforts to slumber
into sudden, broad wakefulness.
It was the mention of his own name,
coupled with that of the woman he had
met on the quarter-deck.
"I saw her speakln to Dawes yester
day," said the giant, "we don't want
no more than we've got. I ain't goln' to
risk my neck for Ilex's fancies, and
so I'll tell her."
"It waa something about the kid."
saya the Crow, In his elegant slang. "I
don't believe she ever mw him before."
"If I thort she was agoln' to throw
ns over. I'd cut her throat as soon as
look at her." snorts Gabbett, savagely.
"Jack nd have a word In that," snuf
fles the Moocher; "and he's a curious
cove to quarrel with." ,
"Well," grumbled Mr. Gabbett. "and
let's have no more chaff. If we're for
bizness, let's come to bhtness."
"What are we to do now?" asked the
Moocher. "Jack's on the sick list, and
the gal won't stir a'thout him."
"My dear friends," said the Crow,
"my keyind and kerlstian friends. It Is
to be regretted that when natur' gave
jou such tremendously thick skulls, she
didn't put something Inside of 'em. I
say that now'a the time. Jack's In the
'orapltal; what of that? That don't
make It no better for him, does it? Not
a bit of It; and, If he drops his knife
and fork, why, then It's my opinion
that the gal won't stir a peg. It's on
bis account, not ours, that she's been
manooverlng, ain't It?"
"Well!" says Mr. Gabbett, with the
air of one who waa but partly con
vinced. "I s'pose It la."
"All the more reason of getting it off
quick. Another thing, when tho boys
know there's fever alioard, you'll see
the rumpus there's be. They'll be
ready enough to Join us then. Once get
the snapper-chest, and we're right as
nine-penn'orth o'hapenee."
This conversation had an Intense In
terest for ItufusDawes. Plunged Into
prison, hurriedly tried, and by reason
of his surroundings Ignorant of the death
of his father and his own fortune, be
had hitherto held aloof from the scoun
drels who surrounded him. He now
aaw his error. Ha knew that the name
he had once possessed waa blotted out.
that any shred of bis old life which had
clung to him hitherto was shriveled In
the fire that consumed the Hydaspea.
Richard Devlno was dead lost at sea
with tho crew of the ill-fated vessel In
which deluded by a skillfully sent let
ter from the prison his mother believ
ed him to have sailed. Itufus Dawes,
alone should live. Itufus Dawes the
convicted felon, the suspected murderer,
should live to claim his freedom. With
his head swimming, and his brain on fire,
he eagerly listened for more.
"Hut wo can't stir without the girl,"
Gabbett aald. "She's got to stall off the
sentry."
Tho Crow produced a dirty scrap of
paper, over which his companions eag
erly bent their heads.
"Where did yer get that?" asked Gab
bett. "Yesterday afternoon Sarah was
standing on the deck throwing bits o'
toke to the gulls, and I saw her a-Iook-Ing
at me yctt bard. At last sho came
down as near the barricade as she dared,
and throwod crumbs and such-like up In
tho air over the side. By and by, a pret
ty big lump; doughed up round, fell close
to my foot, and, watching a favorable
opportunity,' I pouched It, lustdo was
this bit o' rag-bag."
The writing, though feminine In ciar-
' ncter, was bold and d'tlnet. Ssrah hid
evidently been mindful of 'tho education
of her friends, nnd had desired to give
them as llttlo trouble as possible,
"All Is right. Wntch me when t come
up to-morrow evening at threo bolls. If
I drop my handkerchief, get to work
at the time agreed on. The sentry will
bo safe."
Itufus Dawes, though his eyelids
I would scarcely keep open, nnd n terrible
lassitude almost paralysed his limits,
I eagerly drank In the whispered sentence.
There was n conspiracy to seise the ship.
Sarah Purfoy was In league with the
convicts. She had come on board armed
with a plot, nnd this plot was about to
be put In execution.
I True, that the head of this formida
ble chimera John Hex. the forger was
absent, but the two hsnds. or rather
I clawa the burglar and tho nrlson break-
' er were present, and the sllmly made,
effeminate Crow. If he had not the brains
of his master, yet made up for hU tlac
cM muscles and nerveless frame by a
cat-like cunning and a spirit of volatility
that nothing could subdue. With such
a powerful ally outside ns the mock
maid servant, the chance of success was
enormously Increased. There were one
hundred nnd eighty convicts and but fifty
soldiers. If the first rush proved suc
cessful, the vessel was theirs. Ilufus
Dawes thought of the little brlght-halr-ed
child who had run so confidingly to
meet him, and shuddered.
"There!" said the Crow, with a sneer
ing laugh, "what do you think of that?
Does the girl look like diapoltttlug us
now?"
There was silence for a minute or two.
The giant was plunged In gloomy ab
(fraction, and Vetch and the Moocher
Interchanged a significant glance. Gab
bett had been teu yesrs at the colonial
penal settlement of Macquarle Harbor,
nnd he had memories that hn did not
confide to his companions. When he In
dulged In one of these fits of recollection,
his friends found It best to leave him
to himself.
Ilufus Dawes was no longer stimulat
ed by outward sounds, bis senses appear
ed to fail him. The blood hushed Into
his eyes and ears. He made a violent,
ttln effort to retain his consciousness,
bnt with a faint cry fell back, striking
his head against the edge of the bunk.
The noise roused the burglar In an In
stant, There was Home one In the berth!
The three looked Into each other' eyes.
In guilty alarm, and then Gabbett dash
ed round the partition.
"It's Dawes!" satd the Moocher. "We
had forgotten html"
"He'll Join us, mate, he'll Join us!"
cried Vetch, fearful of bloodshed.
Gabbett. Hinging himself on to the
prostrate figure, dragged It, head fore
most, to the floor. The sudden vertigo
had saved Itufus Dawes' life. The rote
ber twisted one brawny hand In his
shirt, and pressing the knuckles down,
prepared to deliver a blow that should
forever silence the listener, when etch
caught hi arm. "He's been asleep," he
cried. "Don't hit him! See, he's not
awake yet."
A crowd gathered round. The giant
relaxed hts grip, but th convict gave
only a deep groan, and allowed his head
to fall on his shoulder.
Gabbett took another look at the purp
ling face and the bedewed forehead, and
then sprang erect, rubbing at his right
hand, as though be would rub off some
thing sticking there.
"He's got the fever!" he roared, with
a terror-stricken grimace. "I've seen
It before to-day. The typhus I aboard
and he's the fourth man down!"
The circle of beast-like faces, stretched
forward to "see the fight," widened at
the half-comprehended. 111 omened word.
It was as though a bombshell had fallen
Into the group. Ilufus Dawes lay on tho
deck motionless, breathing heavily The
savage clrele glared at hi prostrate
body. The alarm ran round, and all the
prison crowded down to stare at him.
All at once he uttered a groan, and turn
ing, propped his body on his two rigid
arms, and made an effort to speak. Hut
no sound Issued from bis convulsed Jaws.
"He's done," said the Moocher, brutal
ly. "He didn't hear nuffln'."
The noise of the heavy lotta shooting
back broke the spell. The first detach
ment were coming down from "exercise."
Tho door was flung back, and the bayo
nets of the guard gleamed In a ray of
sunshine that shot down tho hatehway.
This glimpse of sunlight sparkling at
the entrance of the fetid and stilling
prison seemed to mock their miseries.
It was as though heaven laughed at
them. By one of those terrible and
strange Impulses which animate crowds,
the mass, turning from the sick man,
leaped toward the doorway. The Inte
rior of the prison flashed white with
suddenly turned faces. The gloom scin
tillated with rapidly moving hands. "Air,
air! Give us air!"
"That's it!" said Sanders to his com
panions, "I thought the news would
rouse 'era."
Gabbett all tho savage In his blood
stirred by the sight of flashing eyes and
wrathful faces would have thrown him
self forward with the rest, but Vetch
plucked him back.
"It'll be over In a moment," he said.
"It's only a fit they've got."
(To be continued.)
