IIU manner was constrained nttil nbrupt. Ill eye wandered uneasily, anil he teemed bur dened with thoughts which he dared not utter. "I want you to thank her for me, Mr. North," ald Da we. "Thank whom?" "Mr. Frew." The unhappy priest shuddered at hear ing the name. "I do not think you owe any thank to her. Your Irous were removed by the commandant'a order." "But by her persuasion. I feel sure of It Ah, I was wrung to think she had forgotten me. Ask her for her forgive ness." "Forgiven!"' Raid North. rccallinp the scene In the prlon. "What hare you done to need her forglvnt" "I doubted her." said Ktifu Daw. "I thought her ungrateful and treach erous. 1 thought he delivered me again Into the bondage from whence I had escaped. I thought she had betrayed me betrayed me to the villain who, bate life I saved for her awcet aake." "What do you Meant" asked North. "You nerer spoke to me of thl." "No, I had vowed to bury the knowl edge of It li my own breast; It I too bitter to apeak." "Sated hi life'." "Ay. and hers. I made the boat that carried her to freedom. I held her In my arms, and took the bread from my own lips to feed her!" "She cannot know this," said North, In an undertone. "She ha forgotten It. perhap. for t,he wa but a child. But you will re mind her, will you nott You will do mo Justice In her eye before I diet You will get her forgiven for met" North could not explain why such an Interview a the convict desired was lui oslhle, and so he promIed. "She I going away In the schooner," said he. "I will see her before she goes, nnd tell her." "God bless you, air!" said poor Dawes. "Now, pray with me;" and the wretched priest mechanically repeated one of the formula his church prescribes. The days passed swiftly, and Blunt't preparation for sea were completed. On (he morning of tho ll)th of December, tie declared himself ready to set sail, and In the aftrnoou. Uufus Dawes, .gazing from hit win dow upon th schooner that lay outside the reef, thought nothing of the fact that after the comtuaudaut'a boat had taken away the commandant's wife, another boat should put off with the chaplain. The hot afternoon passed away In a sultry tunset, and it was not until tho shades of evening had begun to fall that Uufus Dawes distinguished a boat de tach itself from the sides of the schoon er and glide through the oily water to (be Jetty. The chaplain waa returning, and In a few hours, perhaps, would be with Mm. to bring him the message of comfort for which his soul thirsted. lie stretched out bis unshackled limbs, and throwing himself upon bis stretcher, fell (o recalling the past his boat building. he newt of his fortune, his love and bis self-sacrifice. North, however, was not returning to tiring to the prisoner a message of com fort, but he was returning on purpose to nee him, nevertheless. The unhappy jiuu, torn by remorse, had resolved upon n course of action which seemed to him a penance for his crime of deceit. lie liad determined to confess to Dawes that the message he brought was wholly ficti tious, that he himself loved the wife of the commandant. "I am no hypocrite," lie thought. In bis exaltation. "This Ioor wretoh, who looks up to me as an angel, shall know me for my true self." lie bad Ingeniously extracted from IJIuut the fact that he "didn't expect a wind before dark, but wanted all ship shape and aboard," and then, Just as darkness fell, discovered that it was im perative for him to go ashore. Blunt ea Id If the chaplain Insisted upon going, (hero was no help for It. "There'll be a breero In loss than two hours," aald he. "You've plenty of time, but If you'ro not back before the first puff I'll anil without you, as sure at you're born." North assured hlra of lilt punctuality. "Don't wait for me, captain, If I'm not here," said he, with the lightness of tone which men use to mask anxiety. So the boat aet off. Frere observed with some astonishment that the chaplain wrapped himself In a boat cloak that lay In the stern sheets. "Does the fellow want to smother himself In a ulght like thlst" was the remark. The truth waa that, though hit hands and bead were burning, North's teeth chatter ed with cold. Perhaps this waa the reason why, when landed aud out of eyo shot of the crew, he produced a pocket llask of rum aud eagerly drank. The spirit gave him courage for the ordeal to which he had condemned himself, aud, with ateadled step, he reached the door of the old prison. To his surprise, Olm blett refused him admission. "Hut I have come direct . from the commandant," sold North. "I can't let you in, your reverence," Bald Olmblett. "I want to see the prisoner Dawes. I have a special message for him. I Lave come ashore on purpose." "Upon my honor, sir, I daren't," said Olmblett, who was not without his good points. "You kuow what authority is, air. as well as I do." North was In despair, but a bright thought struck him a thought that In hi sober moment. would never have en tered hi head he would buy aduilslon. Ho produced the rum tlak from beneath the sheltering cloak. "Come, don't talk nonsense to me, Olmblett. You don't suppose I would come hero without au thority. Here, take a pull at this, and let me through." Olmblett' featnr relaxed Into a smile. "Well, sir, I sup pose It' all right, If you say so," said h. And, clutching the rum bottle with one hand, he opened tho door of Dawes' cell with the other. North entered, and as the ooor cloed behind him, tho prisoner, who had been lying apparently asleep upon hi bed, leaped up and made as though to catch him by the throat. North, paralysed no l by the ud denne. of the attack, than by the words with which it wa accompanied, let fall his cloak, and stood trembling before the prophetic accusation of the man whose curse ho had come to cam. "I was dreaming," said Kufu Dawe. "A terrible dream! But It has passed now. The message you have brought me a message, have you nott Why, what all yout You are pale your kne tremble. DM my violence " North recovered himself with a great effort. "It Is nothing. Let u talk, for my time i short. You have thought me a good man one blessed of Ood, one consecrated to a holy service; a man kontst, pure and truthful. I have re turned to tell you the truth. I am none of these things." ltufu Dawes sat star ing, unable to comprehend this madness. "I told you that the woman you hived for you do love her sent you a mes sage of forgiveness. I lied." "Whatf "I never told her of your confession. I never mentioned your name to her." "Aud she will go without knowing Oh. Mr. North, what have you donet" "Wrecked my own soul!" cried North, wildly, stung by the reproachful agony of the tone. "Do not cliug to me. My task I done. You will hate me now. That Is my wish I merit It. Let me go, I say. I shall be too late." "Too late! For whatf He looked at the cloak through the open window came the voice of the men In the boat the memory of the rose, of the scene In the prison, flashed acres him, and he understood It all. "Oreat heaven, you would follow hert" "Let me go," repeated North, In a hoarse voice. Hufut Dawe tppd between him and tho door. "No, madman, I will not let you go." North crouched bewilder d against the wall. "I say you shall not go. You love her! So do I; and my love is mightier than yours, for It shall save her!" North lifted agonlxed eyes. "But I love her! Iive her, do you heart What do you know of lovet" "Love!" cried Uufus Dawes, his pale face radiant. "Love! Oh, it Is you who do not know It! Love I the sacrifice of self, the death of all desire that Is not for another's good. I.uve 1 godlike! Listen, I will tell you a story. North, luthralled by the other's over mastering will, fell back trembling. "What do you meant" "I will tell you the secret Cf my life, the reason why I am here. Come closer." CH.VPTEIt XXIX. The houso of her husband was duly nt.....! at Oia ftlarwianl nf Mrs. Ulchard Devlue. It only remained that the lady should bo formally recognlxed by Lady JJevlue, me rest oi me wKcmuui in gram would follow a a matter of course. John Uex was well aware of the posi tion which, In his assumed personality, he occupied In society. He knew that by the world of servants, of waiters, of those to whom servants and waiters eofuld babble; of such turfites and men about town asiiad reason to Inquire con cerning Mr. Uichard's domestic affairs, no oplnlou eould be expressed, save that "Devlne's married somebody, I hear." He knew well that the really great world, the society, whoso scandal would have beeu socially Injurious, had long ...... a.1 n trnnliln Itself with Mr. ltlch- ard Deviue's doings In any particular. If It had been reported that the Leviathan )f the Turf had married his washer woman, society would only have Inti mated that "it was Just what might have been expected of him." To say the truth, however, Mr. Ulchard had rather hoped that Laiiy Merino woum nave nothing more to do with him, and that the ordeal of presenting his wife would not be necessary. Lsdy Devlne, how ever, had resolved on a different line of conduct. Tho Intelligence concerning Mr. Ulchard Derlno's threatened pro ceedings nerred her to the confession of the dislike which had been long grow ing In her mind; aided the formation of those doubts, tho shadows of which had now and then cast themselres upon her belief In the Identity of the man who called himself her son. "His conduct It brutal," said she to her brother. "I cannot understand It." "It Is more than brutal; It Is unnat ural," returnod Francis Wade, and stole a look at her. "Moreover, ho Is mar ried." "Married 1" cried Lady Devlue. "So he says," continued tho other, pro ducing a letter sent to him by Uex at Sarah's dictation. "He writes to me stating that his wife, whom he married last year abroad, has come to England, and wishes us to receive her," "I will not receive herl" cried Lady Devlns, rising and pacing the room. "But that would be a declaration of war," said poor Francis, twisting an ' Italian onyx wnicn auorneu nit irreso lute hand; "I would not ndvlio that." It was with somo trepidation that Mr. Ulchard, sitting with hi wife, awaited tho arrival of hi mother. He had been very nervous and unstrung for some, days past, mid tho prospect of tho com ing Interview wn, tor some reason ho could not explain to himself, weighty with fear. "What doc she wnut to eomo alone fort And what can sho hnve to sayt" ho akcd himself. "She cannot suspect euythlug after all these years, surelyt" lie endeavored to reason with himself, but In vain; the knock at the door which announced the arrival of hi pretended mother made hi heart Jump. "I feel deuced shaky. Sarah." he said "You arc quite sure that jou nr ready with your story t" He rose with affected heartiness, "My dear mother, allow me to present to you " He paused, for there wa that In Lady Devlne' face which confirmed hi wort fear. "I wlh to poak to you alone," she said, Ignoring with steady eye the woman whom she had ostensibly come to see. John Uex hcltatcd. but Samh aw the danger, and hastened to confront It. "A wife should be n husband's best friend, madam. Your ou married me of hi own free will, and even hi mother can have nothing to sny to him which Is not my duty and privilege to hear. I am not a girl, a you can see, and I can bar whatever news you bring. Lady Devlue bit her xil Up. She saw at once that the wonun before her wa not gently born, but she alo felt that she was a woman of higher mental calllier than herself. Preiwred a she was for the worst, thl sudden and open declaration of hostlUtlc frightened her. as Srah had calculated. She began to reallxe that If she wa to prove herself equal to th task she had t herself, she must not waste her trngth In skir mishing Steadily refusing to look at Uichard's wife, she addressed herself to Ulchard. "My brother will be her In half an hour." she said, a though tho mention of hi name would better her position In come way. "But I begged him to allow me to come first. In order that I might speak to you privately.' (To be continued.) THE USE OF DOGS IN WAR. ImporlNiK r'netora In Mlllmrr Affairs III Dark ,lf.

They were frequently used to defend convoys and luggage nnd to bring con fusion to the runka of tho enemy's cavalry. Even, fire were placed on tho dojrs' backs to set Are to the enemy's camps. In tho fifteenth and sixteenth cen turies several military towers hod enormous packs of dogs nnd It wns not uncommon for the aiilmnls to meet In skirmishes nnd between themselves) fight out big battles. Naoleon, In his Itnllan cnmpntgn, used dogs as hcouih, nnd In IfW". the Austrlans trained dog to scent iimbushcN. More recently the Oerinans liaro liecii training nnd cxicrlmentlng with dogs, while Itnly, Uwodn nnd Franco hnro also tnken them up. Of the Hit roiienu powers only Hnglnnd has left dogs entirely out of consideration In military affairs. Although changes In warfare have gn'ntly lessened tho opportunity for employing dogs they still may bo ued to ndvnntnge In many ways In mili tary oporntlons.
