CHAPTER XXVUI.

THE perplexity into which Hazol was thrown by the outburst of his companion rendered him unable to.reduce her de- | mand at ance to an intelligible form. For some m ments he seriously employed his mind on the problem until it assumed this shape.

Firstly: I do not know where this ieland is, having po means of ascertaining either its latitude or longitude.

Secondly: If 1 had such a description of

As the wildness of Helen's demand broke upon his mind, he smiled sadly, and sat down upon the bank of the little river, near his boat-house, and buried his head in his| hands. A deep groan burst from him, and | the tears at last broke through his fingers, as in despair he thought how vain must be any effort to content or te concilliate her. Impatient with his own weakness, he started | to his feet, when a hand was laid gently | upon his arm. She stood beside him.

‘My. Hazel,’ said she, hurriedly—her voice was husky—‘do not mind what I have | said. {fam unreasonable; and I am sure 1) ought to feel obliged to you for all the——’

Hazel turned his face toward her, | and the moon glistened on the teara’ that still flowed down his cheeks. He tried to check the utterance of her apology; but ere he could master his voice the girl’s cold and constrained features seemed to melt. She turned away, wrung her hands, and with a quivering cry broke forth:

‘Oh, sir! oh, Mr. Hazel, do forgive me. I am not ungrateful, indeed, indeed, [| am not; but I am mad with despair, Judge me with compassion. At this moment those who are very, very dear to me, are awaiting my arrival in London; and when they learn of the logs of the ‘Proserpine,’ how great will be their misery! Well, that misery is added to mine. Then my poor papa; he will never know how much he loved me And to think that I am dead to them, yet living! living here helplessly, helplessly. Dear, dear Arthur, how you will suffer for my sake! Oh, papa, papa! shall I never see you again? and she wept bitterly. F

sole you, Miss Relleston. By the act of a Divine Providence you were cast upon this desolate shore, and by the same Will I was appointed to serve and to provide for your welfare. I pray God that he will give me health and strength to assist you. Good- night.’ :

She looked timidly at him for a moment, then s'owly regained her hut. He had spoken coldly, and with dignity. She felt humbled, the more so that he had only bowed his acknowledgment to her apology.

For more than an hour she watched him, as he psced up and down between the boat-house and the shore; then he advanced a little toward her shelter, and she shrank into her bed, after gently closing the door. In a few moments she crept again to peep forth, and to see if he were still there, but he had disappeared.

The next morning Helen wes surprised to see the boat riding at anchor in the

enrf and Haaol hineile annawsaAd an hael

surf, and Hazel busily engaged on her trim. He was'soon on skor:, and by her side.

‘I am afraid I must Jeave you for a day, Miss Rolleston,’ he said. ‘I wish to make a circuit of the island; indeed, [ ought to have done so many days ago.’ 1

‘Is such an expedition necessary? Surely you have had enough of the sea.’

‘It is very necessary. You have urged me to undertake this enterprise. You see, it is the first step toward announcing to all passing vessels our presence in this place. 1 have commenced operations already. See, on yonder bluff, which I called Telegraph Point, I have mounted the boat's ensign, and now it floats from the top of the tree beside the bon fire. I carried it there at sunrise. Do you see that pole I have shipped on board the boat? That is intended as a signal, which shall be exhibited on your great palm-tree. The flag will then stand for a signal on the northern coast, and the palm-tree, thus accoutred, will serve fora similar purpose on the western extremity of the island. As I pass along the southern and eastern shores, [ propose to select spots where some mark can be erected, such as may be visible to ships at sea.’

‘But will they remark such signals?’

‘Be assured they will, if they come with- in sight of the place.’

Hazel knew that there was little chance of such an event; but it was something not to be neglected. He also explained that it was necessary he should arrive at a know- ledge of the island, the character of its shores; and from the sea he could. rapidly obtain a plan of the place, ascertain what small rivers there might be. and, indeed, see much-of its interior, for he judged it to be not more than ten miles in length and scarce three in width.

Helen felt rather disappointed that no trace of the emotion he displayed on the previous night remained in his manner, or in the expression of his face. She bowed her permission to him rather haughtily, and sat down to breakfast on some baked yams and some rough oysters, which he had raked up from the bay while bathing that morning. The young man had re- gained an elasticity of bearing, an inde- pendence of tone, to which she was not at

all accustomed; his manners were always soft and deferential; but his expression was more firm, and she felt that the reins had been gently removed from her ion, and there was a will to guide her which she was bound to acknowledge and obey. She did not argue in this wise, for it is not human to reason, and to feel at the same moment. She felt then instinctively that the man was quietly asserting his superiority, and the child pouted.

Hazel went about his work briskly; the

boat was laden with every requisite. Helen _watched these preparations askance, vexed , with the expedition which she had urged him to make. Then she fell to reflecting } on the change that seemed te have taken place in her character; she, who was once so womanly, so firm, so reasonable—why jhad she become so petulant, childish, and capricious? _ The sail was set, and all ready to ron the )cutter into the aurf of the rising tide, when, taking a sudden resolution, as it were, Helen came rapidly down, and said;

‘I will go with you, if you please,’ half jin command, half in doubt. Hazel looked a hittle sutprised, bat very pleased, and

jthen she added: ‘I hope I shall not be in

‘your way.’

CURRENT NOTES.

The Standard affirms that England is protecting the commercial interests of the world in Panama.

Mr, Labouchere, in the Christmas nomber of London Truth, ‘‘drops into poetry” to remark that ‘‘the ‘poet’—now flouted by fame—Who was once Oscar Wiide, has become Oscar tame.”

A very sigeificant idea of the extent of the ranch business in the Northwest is afforded by a copy of the Fort McLeod Gazette. One page of the paper is taken up with weod cuts of animals belonging to different ranches, the object being to show the brand or trade-mark belonging to each. Of horses there are eight different owners engaged in the horse business, and of cattle there are no less than forty-three. It is difficult to realize the extent of this growing business,

, M. DeLesseps had not been many days in Paris after his English visit when an English correspondent was able to record a formidable list of occupations that he had been engeged in. He had been to the Italian opera, to three dinver parties, and had gone out daily to ride with eight of his ten children. aaa he had ‘‘got through all the office work that accunylat- ed in his absence, been interviewed by

Journalists from all parts of the world, given

cues to friendly editors, checked house- keepers’ accounts, and embraced a poetess who called on him Thursday to rad a poem in 400 lines of which he is the hero.”

Perhaps the wealthiest woman in the world is the Rassian Grand Dochess Catherine, widow of the Duke George of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She. inherited, through her mother, one-half w the fabul- ous wealth amassed by the Empress Catherine IL. and her son Paul, the other half having descended to the reignin family. The Grand Duchess makes g use of her riches. She is not only a pat- roness of science and art, but maintains, at her own expense, several hospitals in St. Petersburg, providing also talented physi- cians with means tor scientific journeys and investigations. Near her palace she has established an eating-house for indigent students.

The city of Liverpool is gradually buying up its rookeries and replacing them with houses at least fit to live in, properly drained and ventilated. A persistence in this policy for the last ney Yyoere "has “cut. down the death rate from thirty-seven to twenty-seven per thousand. The improved dwell- ings have been supplemented by an im- proved water supply and the construction of over 200 hundred miles of main sewerage. The removal of bad dwellings and the sub- stitution of better ones have been accom- plished under the authority of acts of Par- liament, based upon the uecessity of muni- cipal supervision of cleansing, draining, scavenging and caring for the public health. — Record.

The ruddy glow at sunrise and sunset has been observed in ail parts of the world which have been heard from, and has con- tinued now for several weeks. We have it just the same when it is warm or cold, when the air is dry or moist, when the sky is clear or cloudy, and these facts show that it is from some causes of more genial opera- tion than ordivarily give colors and form to the eastern and western sky at the times of the rising and setting of the sun. Dr. Nichols, of the Beston Journal of Chemis- try, says that the spectroscope shows that the phenomenon does not come from mois- ture im the air, as has been asserted. The cause, as he and Professor Young, of Princeton, think, is to be found in higher regions of the atmosphere than are affected by moisture, and they believe it comes from the extraordinary volcanic disturbance in the island of Java. Thousands of tons of volcanic dust were thrown to high elevations by this greatest volcanic disturbance record- ed, and the wind currents have distributed them over the world. If the smoke from a burning forest. distributes itself over thousands of square miles. as we see it almost every year, it ia not improbable that Dr. Nichols and Prof. Young are right in their explanation of the curious spectacle which the world has witnessed during these weeks, — Ex.
