Cod-liver oil suggests consumption, which is al- most unfortunate.

Its best use is before you fear consumption; when you begin to get thin, weak, run down ; then is the pru- dent time to begin to take care,and the best way to take care is to supply the system with needed fat and strength. Scott’s Emulsion

of cod-liver oil, with hypo-

phosphites, will bring back

CABIN PASSENGER.

By xsdurard Marehall.

'

Morley's Inind Was w.own into a tur } moil by Madeline's extraordinary state- ment, nor did any part of his subsequent conversation with her relieve him of his embarrassment, She would say nathing except to deny her guilt. She would not, again, even refer to her know!e ige of the real culprit. When he left her he was sorely perplexed.

He saw only one course open to him. ‘That consisted of persnading the captain | to take no steps furtier than the quiet confinement to her cabin until the vessel reacheu Liverpool, and untiring efforts during the inverveniug time toward the solution of the mystery along some other line. He felt certain of Madeline’s in- rocence, Ile was convinced that it would be impossibie for her, had she been a criminal tu bave counterfeited the charms of mint and soul which she had revealed io him during the few days of their ac qusintance; but he ftnally realized the

placed her. He saw that she was hedged

about by evidenee that wou!d convince any disinterested person cf her gulit— ealm reflection showed him that he would nimse’f yield to it were he not her Jover. Yo her alone had he confided the fact that he wes carrying the jeweis; to her sione had the opportunity for abstracting them cecurred. Her manner during the excitement that followed the announce

ment of their loss and the efforts which were to be made to regain them had ‘een that of a person who was confused by guilty knowledge. Following this came the discovery of the jewels skilfully hidden in the cushion in her cabin

Surely no judge or jury in Christendom would fail to consider this chain of events other than convicting. And,now,as if to cap the dreadful climax, came her terril- ly incriminating statement that = she knew who had stolen the diamonds and bow, as well as the manner of and reason for their concealment in her cabin; and her refusal to reveal this knowledge, even to him—did not this make her an ac complice even if she were not the prin- cipal criminal? What powerful mative could there be behind her silence? What

aia she fear? What disaster was she trying to avert?

He was in the position of a lawyer who aad been engaged to defend an innocent person and who was forced to work with- sat the help or knowledge of his client. dad she set to work to assist him (as Sit seemed that any rational being who had wen wrongfully accused of a crime wou!d to) he feit that his task would have been somparatizely simple. But as it was, he wns in the anomalous situation of a victim who was apparently devoting him- self to clearing the reputation of the per- son who had wronged him and who was wbsolutely alone in his ideas of her in- nuocenc3,

He kept his agreemont with the captain by sending a steward to him at once with che apnouncement that his interview with Madeline had ended. Ile was greatly re ieved to have him reply that he should be busy in the chart room for-an hour. his gave him time for thought and he was giateful. He retired to a quiet corner of the smoking rcom with a cigar.

While he sat there turning desperately over in his mind each event of the voyage, each tiny circumstance, no matter how trivial it might be, which could possibly have a byaring on the casa, his mind evn- stantiy reverted to the offensive second cain passerg t. The idea which had come to him on the morning of the episode which had brought about his acjuaintanca with Madeline, the idea that there was some acjuaintance, some synipathy (perhaps of enmity, but still of sympathy) between the two, recurred tohim,. The thougnt that Madeline's life was in any way concerned with that of that uncouth and evil person, had been inexpressibly repulsive to him, and he had, at tirst, put it aside, angry with himself for thinking it. Now he caught at it eagerly asx porhaps affording a clue by means of which he might unravel the sad mystery which involved his love.

When, after an hour, ths captain sent for him, he had prepared a plan of action. Its promises were pitifully meagor, but they were the best he could obtain from any scheme he could conjure up. After much pleading he persuaded the captain to consent to a test of his new theory. Before this was finaly accom; lished, however, the captain, speaking as his father’s frienJ, strove to convinca him that his labor would be fruitless of good, and endeavored by argument to induce him to break loose from what he boldly characterized as his ‘infatuation for an sdventuress.’’ It was with difficulty that Morley controlled his temper during this part of the interview, but ho knew that without the captain's co operation he could do nothing on board ship and for that reason he assumed a_ confidence which he «id not really feel, that he would convince him of his error before they landed at Liverpool. He had only two days’ time in which to work.

His plan was this (and before advane- ing it he frankly explaired to the captain his first idea that there was some con- necting link between the lives of Made- line and the second cabin passenger); to have that unpleasant person brought aft under arrest and formally accused of the crime of theft. averring for the sake of the effect it might have on him that one of the jewels had become loosened from the necklace and had fallen in his berth before hoe had hidden the diamomis in Madeline’s room, ‘Ihen while the man was yet dumbfounded by this unexpe: t)1 charge (and Morley asserted that he bad no doubt of his guilt) and by the begus evidence, to offer him partial immunity if he nade a full and fre confession and explained how it had been possible for him to get round the ship unseen.

‘This was bold working ona bold guess. Morley realized that he hai small excuse for suggesting it, and knew that the captain never would have consented to its operation had not the second cabin pas- senger already aroused his own distrust and ire by defying the discip!ine of the ship and creating a disturbance. The captain finally consented, he said, only because he wished to leave no stone un- turned which would help to set the son of his old friend right at a time when he was being carried to melancholy extremes through his sentimental admiration fora

peaUtIIUl DUEL UNPrincipiea Woman. As for the second cabin passenger—he felt no consideration fur him, wha.ever, He did not believe that the man had stolen the jowels—he considered «that another persom had been proved guilty of that

He considered him to be a disreputable person, very like:y of unsettled mind, >o within an hour two saflors were de- spatched to the second caliin.

No offi cers of the law ever had a mors

He demanded, with much pro‘anity ad in a loud votoe, the reason for the summary procceding, but of course the wflors could tell him nothiny. Fora few moments there was 1 @ iaring ainong the passengers who had Gevn at- tracted by the disturbance, at the rough treatment which the sailors were obliged to give him, but soon some one putting two and two together, whispered that the man bad been arrested as the culprit in the jewel robbery and the exp'anation was quickly accepted by the otbers.

All along the promenade deck and up the stairway leading to the captain’s cabin abaft the bridge the nian writhed and struggled in the sailors’ hands and continually cursed. But just outside the captain's door he changed his manner yuickly and entirely. Instead of the dis- orderly character, resisting arrest, it was the insulted innocent, full of a nazed dignity, that stepped into the presence of the captain and Morley.

The captain bade the sailors releasa him and wait outside until he called them. When they had gone he said.—

‘Thacmpson,”’ (that was the name the man had given), ‘‘you know why you were brought here. Now, what haye you to say for yourself?"’

The man’s dignity melted somewhat. When he spoke he mixed with it a suave oOlliness which was not preposses- sing. His manner was almost, but not quite, cringing. He evidenced the most complete surprise at the captain's state- ment. His reply was given in the best English well enunciated,

“You are wrong, sir,’’ he replied, ‘I have no idea of the reason for the out- rageous treatment to which I have been subjected.’’

*‘Come, come now,’’ sald the captain, and Morley was surprised and pleased at the way in which the old officer acted his difficult role, ‘‘none of that, You know that you have been arrested for the theft of Mr. Morley's jewels. Now, theft at sea is even a more serious offence than is theft on Jand. There are reasons, how- ever, why I am willing to make your punishment less severe than you deserve. Since you have been on board you have plainly exhibited a desire to injure one of my passengers, a most estimable lady who is under my especial protection. You carried this, to me, inexplicable devilishness, to its extreme, when you concealed the stolen diamonds in her cabin daring her absence, not knowing that you had in the meantime, droppe in your berth incontrovertible evidence of your own guilt whers it was discoy- ered by an officer of this ship.’’

Morley’s heart leapt within him when he saw the man turn ashy pale after this speech. The captain, not waiting for him to speak, however, went on:—

‘*WereI so disposed I could secure, when we reach Liverpool, twenty years of penal servitude for you, which is the penalty for such a crime when commit- ted on the high seas, I am aware, how- ever, that there must have been a screw locse in the management of this ship, or you could not have left the second cabin and entered this lady’s room with- out interference. Now, ‘Thompson, I offer to make the charge against yon so much Jess serious thet the most severe penalty which you can be made to pay shall be ten years inatead of twenty, and promise not to protest should it be even less than that, if you will explain to me in detail, the way in which you secured entrance to the calin of a salton passen- ger

EPPS'S COCOA

BREAKFAST — SUPPER,

“ Dy a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well selected Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided for our breakfast and supper a delicately flavored beverage which may save use many heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished fame.” Civil Service Gazette
