TIiIm wiih true nt tho Hino the rep I'CHeiitutlon wiih made, hut Trevor, lmv liiKbeen eniiKht In tint decline of Htockn, wiih now worth nothing. NevertbelcHfl, nn ho hnd no inoro funds, ho wrote it nolo to III broker to Unit effect and roiiHcntliiK to tlm nnlo of IiIh necurlty. TIiIh ho did with n henvy heart Mure tio coiiHlderud It equivalent to tho breaking of IiIh engagement. Ho wiih nettling the nolo when n men Heiiger elilen-d with n eommunlciitlon from the enMiler of the bank where ho kept IiIh fuiidH. He xlghed iih he toio off tho envelope, Knowing that IiIh nc count wiih overdrawn nnd expecting a notification to that effect. To IiIh tiHton iHliment the note read iih followH: V linvn to notify ywj thnt thu sum of IWW tmn Ijo.ii plucwd to your credit In till bunk. Mr. Trevor'n etnolloiiH may t) better Imnglned tlinu deHcrlhed. Wiih It n mlfl tnke of the bnnl:V Hnd tho wrong per hoii been notified' He Meppcd to tho tetephono nml called up tho cnMilcr. "Who ptnctd 0,000 to my credit?" ho linked. "Hold tho wire." In n few mluutcfl came the reply, "The check wnH pnynble to Martin Conelmid. who made It paynblo to you." "Von have mndo n mistake. I don't Know hucIi n num. Who Ih be?" There wiih another request to bold the wire, mid. In live mlmitcH the Inform iiintlon came that the bank did not know Mr. Copphind nml had bo occa Blon to Know him hIiicq the check hail Im-cii certified by n bank that was per fectly good. TIiIh meant thnt the batik, nnd not Mr. Copeland, wnu rchpouslblc. "TlmiiK you. Ooodby." Hfiue one miiKt have blundered. The money could not possibly como from uny friend, for there wnn no one among tin wo Uuotcd to Trevor wlwj could or would risk nucIi mi amount for friend ship. Nevertheless hIiicc he had hojior hbly notified the bank of the probable error, be had done all that could bo ex pected of him nml, with plenty of money to IiIh credit, did not projioric to let n fortune Blip through IiIh llngcrn. He tore up the note ho had written to his broker nnd wrote another, Inclosing n check for W.00O. He stayed In hid I ofllce till ! o'clock, expecting 'to get n I notice from the broker thnt the bnuU I' bad after nil refused payment, hut no ' notice came, nor did nny ever come. Later he wiih obliged to send another j cheek for margliiH for $1,000, which ' wan a bo paid. When tho market j turned, Trevor plunged on tho remain-1 lug $10,000 to hlri credit, and In the end he not only regained what lie hud lost, ' but trebled It. He then Kent a check' for ?l!0.000 to IiIh batik for Mnrtln ' Copclnud, iiHklug the cashier to let him know what became of It. Ho wiih In- roriued that IiIh check bad been sent to tho hank on which the urlglunl check ' to him had been drawn nml bad not i been returned. It wan suppooed that Mr. Copeland had received It. Tho evening after Trevor hnd Bent the check to Mr. Copeland he called nt the house of bis fiancee, Mist) Klemior Buckley, to take her to the opera. Ho found Mr. lluckloy uud bid daughter htumllng over u number ot necklnee'H, braculets nnd other orna meiitH from which the gems bad been extracted nnd wero missing. There was it pcowi on thu father's fuci nud the daughter was evidently troubled. Tre vor wnu Informed Unit Mr. ilucktey, noticing thnt his daughter wits going out without her Jewel j, had asked whero they were. The result was the production of n good deal of gold, but no Jewels. I'or thla bhe gnvo no ex planation. 4 At this Juneturo a servant entered and handed MIsh lluckloy u package. thc opened It and dl&playcd the mls3 lug geuui. "How's this?" exclaimed Mr, nttck ley. "Those nro tho Identical Jewels on which 1 recently lent 50,000. Tho request tor a loan cnnio while btocka were tumbling, und, though I don't lend on Jewels, nt that tlmo they were better than nny BceurltleB offering." ' The secret was out. Mlsa ltucklpy, knowing that her lover was In tlunnc'lni dltlleulty, hud bent her Jewels to her father through an acquaintance whom neither knew und placed tho money borrowed on them to Trevor's credit. Mr. Ituekley fi owned. Ho hnd heard Unit Trevor wua n loser In stocks nnd feared that hla fortuno hnd ellsup Dented. "My eoiibont," bo enld,. "wns gained on conditio i of your being worth t' certain unuiuit." "Thanl.B to tho loveliest girl ln-vtli'o world, T nm worth tbreo tlilies-tlmt nmouiit, Hnd the check not been forth, 'coining I would have been julned.'' urns wnn nn nrunuiittlm cnplfnl-' st could, understand, nml his frown j 'turned Into n smile.

Wo were, ns near no I enn romem- her, In tho latltudo of Mldwny Island, In tho Pacific, nnd all wan going well with tho bark HntTest Homo when wo picked up n sailor nnmed Wllllnms, who waH drifting about In n Bhlp'n und suffering which wo nftcrwnrd came to know was utterly false, nnd after a coaplo of dayu bo wnn put In my wutch and entered an an extra hand. Williams had no sooner got among tho men than bo began telling of a great treasuru burled on ono of tho Kuril Islands. Talk trcasuro to n sail or and you can bring him to muUny. Tho amount of money wob given at 1 several million dollars, nnd Williams , claimed to bo able to locato tho exact Hpot. It probably never occurred to one of tho men to ask why ho didn't go to tho captain with his story and try to arrange for the removal of tho treanure, but If It did bo bad somo unHwer at baud. He proposed taking possession of tho bark, Nailing bcr to the treasure Island, securing the great wealth nnd then using her to get to England. Ah to the oOlcers and such , men oh would not Join, they wcro to bo cunt adrift In mldoccan to take their chances. Wo bad a cargo valued at xiia.000, and I think the man'n game was to peddle It out among the Ma rlne, Caroline nnd Marshall Islands, I get what ho could and then look out , for hlmbclf. I So quietly did ho do IiIh work nmong I tho crew that not the slightest hint of what wiih going on wbh wafted aft. He enlisted eight of tho men In IiIh cause, nnd on the seventh day of bis coming aboard and while the captain and I were eating dinner the climax came. The second mate wnu seized, bound and gagged, nnd nn alarm was rnlsed that he had fallen overboard. Iloth of uh rushed from the cabin, to be pounced uion mid mndo prisoners. It was a surprise all around, nnd no Insolence was offered nny of us. When Captain Holt demanded an explana tion, WIlllauiH promptly enlightened blm. He said: "We nrc In poiRCfislon of the bark. W.i nr goltig after a great treasure, t"a .. --". ..v.. -.., wmen ih to uc equally uiviueu octwecn man and man. It was no use to talk to you, ror you wouiet nave bcoucu at my Btory. It woh agreed that none of you should be hurt, nud we have kept to the agreement." "What do you intend to do with us?" "Send you adrift within an hour." "Where Is your treasure Island?" "I will not tell you." "If you really know of n burled treas ure, why not let us sail the ship there nud share with you?" i "liccnuse that would mean less mon ey for the rest of us." , The captain appealed to the men, de-, daring that Williams had no real knowledge of u treasure und would lead them a wild goose chase, and of fered to overlook what bad happened If they would return to duty. The feeling of the crew was expressed by the old boatswain, who took off bis cap and btood In bumble attitude as be bald: "Captain Holt, we bov nutbln' ogTn ye uor the mates, but here's n chance fur every man of us to git rich fur life, nnd we feels ns If we must take It." There was more argument, but the men were stubborn. Those who bad re fused to Join In the plot now came for wuid and gave In their allegiance to Williams, and prcparaUons were begun for casting us adrift. One of tho quar ter boats wna hoisted out, and in it were stowed water and provisions buIII cleat to last three of us a fortnight We wero allowed a mast and a sail, but neither chart nor compass. We bad made 350 miles to tho cast nnd were having fair weather vbea we made a grewsomo discovery. About 3 o'clock lu the nftcrnoon wo sighted a strange object only n point or two off our course, and, running down to It, wo found our old bark floating keel up ward, with two of( her masts and a great mass of wrockago surrounding ber. There was but little sea on, nnd we scrambled upon tbo bark's bottom. Wo bad a faint hope that If sound below she might be righted, especially It we Blghtcel a craft which would give us assistance. Sho had probably been lu tbut position tor three or four days ut the least, but there was still sutllcletit ulr to buoy her up. I bud not yot walked ber length when I heard a knocking, followed by faint shouts. Tho captain came nboard to see what be could mako of It, nnd it was not lotig before wo wcro satisfied that at least two men wcro imprisoned In tho cabin. By lying down nnd placlug our ears to tho copper sheathing we could make out thnt they knew some one bad hoarded tho bark, nud they appealed to us to cut a hole through which they could eiseane Wo, had neither, ax not hatchet but If wo had been fully equipped tho chnucea would have been against us.
