for The Term of His Natural Life
? By MARCUS CLARKE
CHAPTER XXVIII.
Unfits Dawes Mt In a new cell. On
(ho third day North came. 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

throwing himself upon bis stretcher, fell

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.'
