CHAPTER III.
If Mr. Ilenshaw indulged in any further
curiosity regarding the interior of the
Pontiac he did not make his active re¬
searches manifest to Rosey. Nor, in spite
of her father’s invitation, did ho again
approach tho galley—a fact which gave
her her first vague impression in his favor.
He seemed also to avoid the various ad¬
vances which Mr. Nott appeared impelled
to make whenever they met in the pas¬
sage, but did so without seemingly avoid¬
ing her, and marked his half con¬
temptuous indifference to the elder Nott
by an increase of respect to the young
girl. She would havo liked to ask him
something about ships, and was sure his
conversation would have been more inter¬
esting than that of old Capt. Bower, to
whose cabin he had succeeded, who had
once told her a ship was the “devil's hen¬
coop." She would have liked also to ex¬
plain to him that she was not in the habit
of wearing a purple bonnet. But her
thoughts were presently engrossed by an
experience which interrupted the even
tenor of her young life.
She had been, as she afterward remem¬
bered, impressed with a nervous restless¬
ness one afternoou, which made it impos¬
sible for her to perform her ordinary
household duties, or even to indulge her
favorite recreation of reading or castle
building. She wandered over the ship,
and, impelled by the same vague feeling
of unrest, descended to the lower deck anil
the forward bulkhead where she had dis¬
covered the open hatch. It had rot been
again disturbed, nor was there any trace
of further exploration. A little ashamed,
she knew not why, of revisiting the scene
of Mr. Renshaw’s researches, she was
turning back, when she noticed that the
door which communicated with de Fer-
rieres’ loft was partly open. Tho circum¬
stance was so uuusual that she stopped
before it in surprise. There was no sound
from within; it was the hour when its
qpeer occupant was always absent; he
must have forgotten to lock the door or it
had been unfastened by other hands.
After a moment of hesitation she pushed
it further open and stepped into the room.
By the dim light of two portholes she
could see that the floor was strewn and
piled with the contents of a broken bale
of curled horse liajr, of which a few un¬
touched bales still remained against the
wall. A heap of morocco skins, some
already cut in the form of chair cushion
covers, and a few cushions unfinished and
unstuffed lay in the light of the port%
and gave the apartment the appearance of
a cheap workshop. A rude instrument
for combing the horsehair, awls, buttons
and tlireud heaped on a small bench
showed that active work had been but
recently interrupted. A cheap earthen¬
ware ewer and basin on the floor, and a
pallet made of an open bale of horse hair,
on which a ragged quilt and olanket were
flung, indicated that tho solitary worker
dwelt and slept beside his work.
The truth flashed upon the young girl’s
active brain, quickened by seclusion and
fed by solitary books. She read with keen
eyes the miserable secret of her father's
strange guest in the poverty stricken
walls, in the mute evidences of menial
handicraft performed in loneliness and
privation, in this piteous adaptation of an
accident to save tho • conscious shame of
premeditated toil. She knew now why ho
had stammeringly refused to receive her
father’s offer to buy back the goods he
had given him; she knew now how hardly
gained was the pittance that paid his rent
and supported his childish vanity and
grotesque pride. From a peg in the corner
hung the familiar masquerade that hid
his poverty—the pearl gray trousers, the
black frock coat, the tall shining hat—in
hideous contrast to the penury of his sur¬
roundings. But if they were here, where
was he, and in what disguise had he es¬
caped from his poverty? A vague uneasi¬
ness caused her to hesitate and return to
the open door. She had nearly reached
it when her eye fell on the pallet which it
partly illuminated. A singular resem¬
blance in the ragged heap made her draw
closer. The faded quilt was a dressing
gown, and clutching its folds lay a white,
wasted hand.
The emigrant childhood of Rose Nott
had been more than once shadowed by
scalping knives, and she was acquainted
with death. She went fearlessly to the
couch, and found that the dressing gown
was only an enwrapping of the emaciated
and lifeless body of de Ferrieres. She did
not retreat or call for help, but examined
him closely. He was unconscious, but
not pulseless; he had evidently been
strong enough to open the door for air or
succor, but had afterward fallen in a lit
on the couch. She flew to her father’s
locker and the galley Are, returned and
shut the door behind her, and by the skill¬
ful use of hot water and whisky soon had
the satisfaction of seeing a faint color
take the place of the faded rouge in the
ghastly cheeks. She was still chafing hi3
hands when he slowly opened his eyes.
With a start, he made a quick attempt to
push aside her hands and rise. But she
gently restrained him.
“Eh—what!” he stammered, throwing
his face back from hers with an effort and
trying to turn it to the wall.
“You have been ill," she said quietly.
“Drink this."
With his face still turned away he
lifted tho cup to his chattering teeth.
When he had drained it he threw' a trem¬
bling glance around the room and at the
door.
“There’s no one been here but myself,”
she said quickly. “I happened to see the
door open as I passed. I didn’t think it
worth while to call any one."
The searching look ho gave her turned
into an expression of relief, which, to her
infinite uneasiness, again feebly lightened
into one of antiquated gallantry. Ho
drew the dressing gown around him with
an air.
“Ah! it is a goddess, mademoiselle,
that has deigned to enter the cell where—
where—i—amuse—my*eut. n is droll—
is it not? I came here to make—what
yon call—the experiment of year father’s
fabric. I make myself—ha! ha!—like a
workman. Ah, bah! the heat, the dark¬
ness, the plebeian motion make my head
to go round. I stagger, I faint, I cry oat,
I fall. But what of that? The great
God hears my cry aud sends me an angel.
Voila!”
He attempted an easy gesture of gal¬
lantry, but overbalanced himself and fell
sideways on the pallet with a gasp. Yet
there w as so much genuine feeling mixed
with his grotesque affectation, so much
piteous consciousness of the ineffectiveness
of his falsehood, that the young girl, who
had turned away, came back and laid her
hand upon his am.
“You must lie still aud try to sleep,”
she said gently. “I will return again.
Perhaps,” she added, “there is some one I
can semi for.”
He shook his head violently. Then in
his old manner added, “After mademoi¬
selle—no one.”
“I mean”—she hesitated; “have you no
friends?”
“Friends—ah! without doubt.” He
shrugged his shoulders. “But mademoi¬
selle will comprehend’ ’-
“You are better now," said Rosey
quickly, “aud nooue need know anything
if you don’t wish it. Try to sleep. You
need not lock the door when I go; I will
see that no one comes in. ”
He flushed faintly and averted his eyes.
“It is too droll, mademoiselle, is it not?!’
“Of course it is,” said Rosey, glancing
round the miserable room.
“And mademoiselle is an angel."
V— _
'vt'iirf mademoiselle is an angel."
He carried her hand to his lips humbly
—his first purely unaffected action. She
slipped through the door, and softly closed
it behind her. •
Reaching tho upper deck she was re¬
lieved to find her father had not returned,
and her absence had been unnoticed. For
she had resolved to keep de Ferrieres’
secret to herself from the moment that
she had unwittingly discovered it, and to
do this and still be able to watch over hint
without her father’s knowledge required
some caution. She was conscious of his
strange aversion to the unfortunate man
without tinderstanding the reason, but as
she was in the habit of entertaining his
caprices more from affectionate tolerance
of his weakness than reverence of his
judgment, she saw no disloyalty to him in
withholding a confidence that might tie
disloyal to another. “It won’t do father
any good to know it,” she said to herself,
“and if it did it oughtn’t to,” she added
with triumphant feminine logic. But
the impression made upon her by the spec¬
tacle she had just witnessed was stronger
than any other consideration. The revela¬
tion of de Ferrieres’ secret poverty seemed
a chapter from a romance of her own
weaving; for a moment it lifted the mis¬
erable hero out of the depths of his folly
and selfishness. She forgot the weakness
of the man in the strength of liisdrnmatic
surroundings. It partly satisfied a crav¬
ing she had felt; it was not exactly the
story of the ship, as she had dreamed it,
but it was an episode in her experience of
it that broke its monotony. That she
should soon learn, perhaps from de Fer¬
rieres’ .own lips, the true reason of his
strange seclusion, and that it involved
more than appeared to her now, she never
for a moment doubted.
At t ho ended an hour she again knocked
softly at the door, carrying some light
nourishment she had prepared for him.
He was asleep, but she was astounded to
find that in the interval he had managed
to dress himself completely in his anti¬
quated finery. It was a momentary
shock to the illusion she had been foster¬
ing, but she forgot it in the pitiable con¬
trast between his haggard face and his
pomatumed hair and beard, the jaunti¬
ness of his attire and the collapse of his
invalid figure. When she had satisfied
herself that his sleep was natural, she
busied herself softly in arranging the niis-
able apartment. With a few feminine
touche; she removed the slovenliness of
misery, aud placed the loose material and
ostentatious evidences of !:L v.ork on one
side. Finding that he still slept, and
knowing the importance of this natural
medication, she placed the refreshment
she lmd brought hy his side and noise¬
lessly quitted the apartment. Hurrying
through the gathering darkness between
decks, she once or twice thought she had
heard footsteps and paused, but, encoun¬
tering i;oone, attributed the impression to
her over consciousness. Yet she thought
it prudent to go to the galley first, where
she lingered a few moments before re¬
turning to the cabin. On entering she
was a little startled at observing a figure
seated at her father's desk, but was re¬
lieved at finding it was Mr. Kcnshaw.
He rose and put aside the hook he had
idly picked up. “I am afraid I am not
an intentional intruder tills time, Miss
Nott. But I found no one here, and I
was tempted to look into this shipshape
little snuggery. \*ou see the temptation
got the better of me.”
Hi3 voice and smile were so frank and
pleasant, so free from his previous re¬
straint yet still respectful, so youthful yet
manly, that Rosey was affected by them
even in her preoccupation. Her eyes
brightened and then dropped before Lis
admiring glance. Had she known that
the excitement of the last few hours had
brought a wonderful charm into her
pretty face, had aroused the slumbering
life of her ball wakened beauty, she
would have been more confused. As it
was she w only glad that ine young
man should turn out to bo “nice." Per¬
haps he might tell her something about
ships; perhaps if die had onlv known him
longer she might, with de Ferrieres’ per-
mission, have shared her confidence with
him and enlisted his sympathy aud assist¬
ance. She contented herself with show¬
ing this anticipatory grutitude in her face
as she begged him, with the timidity of a
maiden hostess, to resume hi - ».
But Mr, Renshaw mumii- i dk only
to make her talk, and I urn ,viced to ad¬
mit that Rosey found this almost ns
pleasant. It was not long before he was
in possession of her simple history from
the day of her baby emigrate to Cali¬
fornia to the transfer of her t Idish life
to the old ship, and even of m oh of the
romantic fancies she had woven into her
existence there. Whatever ulterior pur¬
pose he had in view, he listened atten¬
tively as if her artless chronicle was filled
with practical information. Once, when
she hod paused for breath, he said grave¬
ly, “I must ask yon to show me over this
wonderful ship some day that I may see
it with your eyes.”
“But I think yon know it already better
than I do,” said Rosey with a smile.
Mr. Rensbaw’s brow clouded slightly.
“Ah,” he said, with a touch of his former
restraint; “and why?”
“Well," said Rosey timidly, “I thought
yon went round and touched things in a
familiar way as if you had handled them
before."
Tho young man raised his eyes to
Rosey’s and kept them There long enough
to bring back his gentler expression.
“Then, because I found you trying on a
very queer bonnet the first day I saw
yon,” he said, mischievously, “I ought, to
believe you were in the habit of wearing
one.”
. In the first flush of mutual admiration
young people are apt to find a laugh quite
as significant as a sigh for an expression
of sympathetic communion, and this
master stroke of wit convulsed them both.
In the midst of it Mr. Nott entered the
cabin. But the complacency with which ho
viewed the evident perfect understanding
of the pair was destined to suffer some
abatement. Rosey, suddenly conscious that
•he was in some way participating in rid¬
icule of her father through his unhappy
gift, became embarrassed. Mr. Ren¬
shaw’s restraint returned with the pres¬
ence of the old man. In vain, at first,
Abner Nott strove with profound levity to
Indicate his arch comprehension of tho
situation, and in vain, later, becoming
alarmed, he endeavored, with cheerful
gravity, to indicate his utter oblivious¬
ness of any but a business significance in
in their tete-a-tete.
“I oughtn’t to hev intruded, Itosey,”
he said, “when you and the gentleman
were talkin’ of contracts, mebbee; but
den’t mind me. I’m on the fly, anyhow,
Rosey dear, hevin’ to see a man round
the corner.”
But even the attitude of withdrawing
dkl not prevent the exit of Renshaw tc
his apartment and of Rosey to the galley.
Left alone in the cabin, Abner Nott felt
in the knots and tangles of his beard for
a reason. Glancing down at liis prodig¬
ious boots, which, covered with mud and
gravel, strongly emphasized lii.s agricul¬
tural origin, and gave him a general ap¬
pearance of standing on his own broad
acres, lie was struck with an idea. “It’s
them boots,” he whispered to himself,
softly; “they somehow don't eem ’xuctly
to trump or follow suit m tb;-< > <• cabin;
they don’t hitih i ..<< . m : : u jbt
»losh round ! « . .. play
it alone. And them young critters nat’-
rally feels it and gets out o’ the way.”
Acting upon this instinct With his usual
precipitate caution, he at once proceeded
to tho nearest second hand shop, and,
purchasing a pair of enormous carpet
slippers, originally the property of a
gouty sea captain, reappeared with a
strong suggestion of newly upholstering
the cabin. The improvement, however,
was fraught with a portentous circum¬
stance. Mr. Nott’s footsteps, which
usually announced his approach all over
the ship, became stealthy and inaudible.
Meantime Miss Rosey had taken advan¬
tage of the absence of her father to visit
her patient. To avoid attracting atten¬
tion she did not take a light, but groped
her way to the lower deck and rapped
softly at the door. It was instantly
opened by de Ferrieres. He had appar¬
ently appreciated the few changes she had
already made in the room, and hail him¬
self cleared away the pallet from which
he had risen to make two low seats
against tho wilt. Two bits of candle
placed on the floor illuminated the beams
above, the dressing gown was artistically
draped over the solitary chair, and a pile
of cushions formed nnother seat. With
elaborate courtesy he handed Miss Rosey
to the chair. He looked pale and weak,
though the gravity of the attack had evi¬
dently passed. Yet he persisted in re¬
maining standing. “If I sit,” he ex¬
plained with a gesture, “I shall again dis¬
grace myself by sleeping in mademoiselle’s
presence. Yes! I shall sleep—I shall
dream—and wake to find her gone?”
More embarrassed by his recovery than
when he was lying helplessly before her,
she said hesitatingly that she was glad he
was better, and that she hoped lie liked
the broth.
“It was manna from heaven, mademoi¬
selle. See. I have taken it all—every pre¬
cious drop. What else could I have done
for mademoiselle's kindness?”
He showed her the empty bow L A »wift
conviction came upon her that the man
had been s uffering from want of food
The thought restored her »elf possession
even while it brought the tears to her
eyes. 1 ‘I wish you would let me speak to
father—or some ore." she said impulsive¬
ly, and stopped.
A quj/k and half insane gleam of terror
and suspicion lit up his deep eyes. “For
what, mademoiselle? For an accident—
that is nothing—absolutely nothing, for I
am strong and well now—see!” he said
tremblingly. “Or for a whim—for a folly
you may say, that they will misunder¬
stand. No, mademoiselle is good, is wise.
She will say to herself, ‘I understand, my
friend Monsieur de Ferrieres for the mo¬
ment has a secret. He would seem poor,
he would take the role of artisan, be
would shut himself up in these walls—
perhaps I may g».e"s why, but it is his
secret. I think of it no more.’” He
caught her fc..nd in his with a gesture that
would nave mane one ot gallantry, but.
in its tremulous intensity became a
supplication. will
“I have said nothing, and say
if you wish it,” said Roeey
“but others may find out how

You seem to be a—a gqpUeman.
You ought to Iks a lawyer, or a doctor, or
a bank,” she continued timidly, with a
vague enumeration of the prevailing de¬
grees of local gentility.
He dropped her hand. “Ah! docs not
mademoiselle comprehend that it is l>e-
canse I am a gentleman that there is
nothing between it and this? Look!” he
continued almost fiercely. “What if I
told you it is the lawyer, it is the doctor,
it is the banker that brings me, a gentle-
tnan, to this, eh? Ah, bah! What do I
say? This is honest, what I do! But the
lawyer, the banker, the doctor, what are
they?” 11c shrugged his shoulders, and
pacing the apartment with a furtive
glauce at the half anxious, half frightened
girl, suddenly stopped, dragged a small
portmanteau from behind the heap of
bales and opened it. “Look, mademoi¬
selle,’’ he said, tremulously lifting a hand¬
ful of worn and soiled letters and papers.
“Look—these are the tools of your banker,
your lawyer, your doctor. With this the
banker will make you poor, the lawyer
will prove you a thief, the doctor will
swear you ure crazy, eh? What shall you
call the work of a gentleman—this”—he
dragged the pile of cushions forward—“or
this?”
To the young girl’s observant eyes some
of the papers appeared to be of a legal or
official character, and others like bills of
lading, with which she was familiar.
Their half theatrical exhibition reminded
her of some play she had seen; they might
he the clew to some story, or the mere
worthless hoardings of a diseased fancy.
Whatever they were, de Ferrieres did not
apparently care to explain further; in¬
deed, the next moment his manner
changed to his old absurd extravagance.
“But this is stupid for mademoiselle to
hear. What shall we speak off Ah!
what should we speak of in made¬
moiselle’s presence?”
“But are not these papers valuable?”
asked Rosey, partly to draw her host’s
Uionghts hack to their former channel.
” “Perhaps.” He paused and regarded
the young girl fixedly. “Does mademoi¬
selle think so?”
“I don’t know,” said Rosey. “How
should I?”
“Ah! if mademoiselle thought so—if
mademoiselle would deign”— He stopped
again and placed his hand upon his fore¬
head. “It might be so!” he muttered.
“I must co now,” said Rosey hur-
rtedlj', with an awkward sense of
constraint. “Father will wonder where
I am.”
“I shall explain. I will accompnny you,
mademoiselle.”
“No, no,” said Rosey, quickly; “he
must not know I have been here!” She
stopped. The honest blush flew to her
cheek, and then returned again, because
she had blushed.
De Ferrieres gazed at her with an ex¬
alted look. Then drawing himself to his
full height, lie said, with an exaggerated
and indescribable gesture, “Go, my child,
go. Tell your father that you havo been
alone and unprotected in the abode of
poverty and suffering, but—that it was in
the presence of Arniand do Ferrieres.”
He threw open the door with a bow
that nearly swept the ground, but did not
again offer to tnko her hand. At ones
impressed and embarrassed at this crown¬
ing incongruity, her pretty lip trembled
between a smile and a cry as she said,
“Good night,” aud slipped away inti the
darkness.
Erect and grotesque do Ferrieres re¬
tained the same attitude until the sound
of her footsteps was lost, when he slowly
began to close the door. But a etrong
arm arrested it from without and a large
carpeted foot appeared at the bottom of
the narrowing opening. The door yielded
and Mr. Abner Nott entered the room
