HEN Lady Pauline Lascalles returned to London. in response to a telegraphic summons she found Decima {ll with brain fever and unconsctous, Lord Gaunt had ealled for Africa on the Perensey Castle. ‘At the last moment a white-faced, sullen man, seedy from Grink, had come on board. He said his name was Jackson @né that he had been summoned to the Cape in haste. The body of Laura Dalton was found by the maid who had scen Gaunt leave the chambers, and, no one having ween Trevor, a web of proof connected Gaunt with the deed. The chain of proof seemed conclusive even to those who loved Gaunt, and the Coroner's jury held him responsivle for the woman's death. Unconscious of all that was transpiring in England, Gaunt was sailing sorrowfully away from the land of the woman he loved. Now end again Gaunt met or came across Mr. Jackson, @nd Jackson would always eye him sideways and give him @ nod, which Gaunt returned in an absent-minded way. One evening Gaunt was pacing up and down on his favor- ite part of the deck, thinking, of course, of Decima, when fhe saw Jackson coming toward him. Jackson brought up his walk within a few yards of Gaunt, and, leaning over tho vessel's side, stared out to soa with Dloodshot eyes. Suddenly he put one foot on the gunwale, then drew up the other, and stood in imminent danger of falling over. It looked to Gaunt as if the man were meditating. eulcide, and Gaunt sprang forward, seized him by the arm and Gragged him down to the deck. “What are you doing?” he asked, sternly, Mr. Jackson eyed him vacantly for a moment, -then he sald, without a smile: “I wanted to see if I could-stand there without falling ever.” rous experiment,. wasn't it?" said Gaunt, “Oh, 4t’s all right," said Jackson, with a distortion of the Ups which might pass for a smile. “I shan’t try the expert- ment again.” “Don't,” said Gaunt, quietly. bad that tt might not be wors “How for are we off the Canaries?" asked Jackson. “About two days’ sail, I should think,” replied Gaunt. Jackson moved away, and Gaunt paced up and down. Gaunt ment down to the saloon. Gome one was banging away at the piano. There was the usual laughing and tallk- ing. Some of the young people were, under the shelter of the music, flirting boldly; they all looked happy and free from care. The song proceeded, the chorus was being roared, when suddenly there came a peculiar shock and sound which struck the singers dumb. No one knew what had happened, but through every.man and woman there had run something which had sent cold fear and dread to every heart. They sprang to thelr. feat and looked wildly at one another for a moment in silence; then the first shriek rose from a woman's lips and was in- stantly followed by others. Gaunt stood near the door. He heard the captain as he passed the upper deck door pause and say calmly and sternly: 5 ‘ ‘Oblige me by keeping the passengers in the saloon, my lord!" Gaunt closed the’ door and-etood, with bis back to {t, The ship was rocking hideously like a Yving thing in pain, and some of the women fell to the Moor or were thrown there by the mad rush of the men for the door. Gaunt stood firm and square with his legs apart, Ages esemed to pass while he stood there, holding the crowd by the power of his eye and voice; but presently he heard the captain's step on the etairs and the opened the @oor and admitted him. The captain took in the situation at a glance. ‘hank you, my lord,” he eaid calmly. and quietly, as if he were thanking Gaunt for passing the salt. Then he Jooked round, ‘Ladies and gentlemen," he sald, ‘we’ struck on a #and bank." He helt up his hand as a cry of terror @rose. “There's no need to be alarmed. There's no need for & singte soul to come to harm. I always think {t best to tell the truth, and the whole truth, and here it is: We're off the coast of Mogador and not very far from the harbor. “Nothing in the world is so ‘The boats are ready and I'll have you all put ashore as! comfortable as possible; that ds if you obey orders. Now, you will please come on deck a dozen at a time; a dozen and no more. Lom Gaunt will be kind enough to point out each lot and see that the order 1s carried out. May I trouble you po far, my lord?” Gaunt nodded. He put a revolver in Gaunt'e hand and went up again. The crowd watched Gaunt with eager eyes and almost seemed to cease breathing as ho pointed out the first dozen ~nino women and three men. “The men will take chart help them into the boat Tho captain cailed out: ‘Next lot! and a aecond dozen were despatched, And oo it ‘went on. ‘There was only one place tn the boat remaining in the last boat, Gaunt looked up the gungway. Besides himself there were only two men left on deck. One was the captain and the other, to Gaunt’s surprise, was Jackson, The young fellow was very palo and his lips were apart, as if he were breathing hard. ‘Now, gentlemen,” eaid the oaptain, please, The quicker you are away the bette: Gaunt went up the steps quickly and fald his hand upon Jackson's shoulder. “Ott with youl" he said.

She was lost to sighygn @ minute, and the cap- tain and Gaunt, after straining thelr eyes after her, turned instinctively amd looked at each other. The captain held 1s hand. ovreeuive @ brave man, my Loni!" he sald, and for the first time there was @ slight tremor in his voice. Gaunt smiled as he shook the hand. a “One might finish up in a worse way than this, captain, he said. “I suppose there's not much chance for us?” ‘he captain sbook his head. “Not much, my Lord," be said. ‘The wind's getting up; there's a hole in her tottom—don't-you hear the water!rush- ing in?—she'll heel over before long""—— There wes no need to finish the sentence. “It's @ pity,” he added, after’a mo- ment, “a pity! She was a Sine vessel, and I'm—fond and roud of her. Piguddenly a big wave, which seemed mountains-high, struck the side, the vessel heelod over, end Gaunt was thrown on his back. When ho looked up, half-blinded by the spray, he could not see the captain. The brave man had gone. ‘Another wave smote the vessel, and Gaunt felt himself swept against the deck-house so violently that he was half- stunned by the contact. A spar from the rigging lay across his chest, and instinctively he clasped it. He lay thus, for it was impossible to stand, for some minutes; then there came another wave, and, still grasping the'spar, he was swept overboard. (How long he ‘retained consciousness after he had been Gashed into the sea cannot de told. To swim'was imposs!- ble; the ground-awell was too violent. Mechanically he still clung to the spar. The tile was setting out to sea, and «@ he floated, he saw that the fog waa gradually lifting, and as he was borne on the top of a wave, he looked around for the vessel. She had disappeared. When he came to, he found, to his amazement, that he was lying in a comfortable terth in a luxurious cabin. ‘Two men were standing beside him. They exchanged a lodk, and no@ded as Gaunt opened his eyes. Gaunt looked round and alghed. At that moment he was not particularly glad to come back to life, “Allright now?” said one of the men who was-watching him. He was a young fellow with a pleasant voice end a pleasant smile, Ho was dressed in yachting costume and was amoking a cigarette. “Where am I?" asked Gaunt, with am effort, “On board the Gea Wolf,” replied the young fellow, “my yacht. We picked you up early this morning. You've been wrecked, I suppose “I was a passenger on toard the Pevomney Castle,” eald Gaunt. ‘She drifted on a sand bank.” He spoke with dim- culty, and Mr. Dobson had sense enough to stop him. “All right," he said. ‘Tell us all about it when you're more fit. Try and go to sleep again. There's nothing lke sleep for your case, #o the doctor says. I've brought you some books and papers {f you can't manage a doze. He left the cabin, and Gaunt tried to sleep; but his head ached too much, amd presently he took up one of the papers, He turned it over mechanically, and was putting It down again, when his eye was caught by a heading tn large type “The tragedy at Prince's Mansions. Verdict of wilful murder against Loni Gaunt.” He read the account in a kind of stupor, and had the paper still in hts hand when Mr. Dotison re-entered the cabin. “How have you been getting on?” eading the paper?

That was perhaps the old idea, for with us doctors once thought that certain compounds of tnsects or bones of animais were strengthening to the human system. But they gave that up long ago. “Modern Chinese medicines consist of certain ‘herbs, many of them used by American and Buropean doctors, But you have a good many minerals and acids that we do not esteem of use. Chinese medicine 1s, however, superior to yours in that It {8 made fresh for every pa. tient, We do not keep liquid medicines as you do.” ‘The doctor opened several of the drawers with which the walls of the little shop are lined and displayed sev- éral varieties of dried herbs, “I keep my medicines tn the herb state, and when a patient comes to consult me I decide what compounds are good for him and put them in a kettle and boll them, When it has cooked suf™fictently I give tt to the patient and he drinke it hot. “Your medicines are extracts tested by law to seo that they are the right strength. And of course when they are fresh they are very good. But when they are kept a long time in drug stores, as they muat he, for your phar- macists buy in large quantities to save money, they lose some of their strength and consequently their value, By keep- ing medicines in the dried herb state| we are able to estimate exactly what thelr strength fs at the time they are taken.
