CHAPTER VII.
It may be reality imagined with what im patience I waited to be toll Jackson's scheme. What it was gould not even conjecture. When all was said and done he was the last man from whom I expected to receive any sort of beip.
Well, what can you do for me?" I asked
wh: impatiently, I am afraid. 'can poò a way ont of the difficulty. I can asseny you you're a cleverer man than I am. Let me hear what you have to say"
IIe scratched his hand, and paused for a min- nte before he replied. He was evidently tuning something over in his mind. Having summer him up by this time I did not interrupt him.
"Well, you san, it's this way," be began, rather bashfully. My mother's a widow,"
I did not quite ses what this had to do with the case-but I let him ge on his own way and Well the story according to his own fashion.
"As I say, mother's a widow," he went on. "Sho lives at Hataplon Conit-oleas to the Palace, and she's got nobusly but my sistar and a rained okl brute of a servant with her. She'a welcome a girl like Miss Alexandra with open arms, and I'd stuke my life she'd look after hor like a mother. Of course she condu't af. ford to keep her for nothing-but I guess we could make the Firm contribute something to. wards it. Why shouldn't she go down to the Matur-if only for a time, and until you kaew what you're going to do with her?"
This certainly seemed to be a way out of my difficulty, and I jumped at it as you may sip. pose. Nathing could have suiled my purpose better.
"But are you quite sure that your mother would care to take her in?" I onquizod.
I'm perfectly sure of it," was his answer, and be added quickly, as if on an after-thought, "Of course you could go down and so her whenever you wanted to.”
"
To this gouerous suggestion I do not pretend that, I offered any, reply. At last we reached Plymouth and brought up inside the Break- water. When the cable ran through the hawso hole one of the most orentfal voyages of my life was at an end. We made the Harbour batween seven and half-part in the morning the water like glass and scarcely enough wind to bring us to our nuchaga. Before me was the historic Hos, to the left Mount Edgcombo, and to the right the fort-clad heights of Station. When all is said and draw there are few places mora beautiful than the Metropolis of the West,
a long as na it is called by admirers. And voyage, with all its attendant trombles, is just the thing to make one apprecisto its beauties.
"Mr. Bramwell,” I believe, said a fall, well- dressed gentleman. My name is Braithwaite, I am one of the diventare of the "Hallket" We had a telegram feon you this worn- Lino.

"I am afraid it is a mattor that will require a good deal of explaining." I replied. In th" first place, it seems to me that I should tell you

A short pause ensued. While it lasted I took stock of his immaculate top hat and frock cost- patent leather boots and diamond searf pis, Then I proceded to let him know the cirrus stances of the cast. I wil do bina the jastic of
iug that he listened attentively to what I had to say, but I had arrived at the conclusion that the Firma would do nothing for me,

Larity was not to be expected of thou.
* enpose in that case you expect me to provide for her," I said, feeling as if I could knock him dowu.
That is a matter for your own considera. fint," he replied-with a song smile that "From what roused me almost to a frenzy. you have told me I gather that you took the whole responsibility upon your own shoulders, Of conces we should be only too glad to do any thing we can, but you must see that we sta placed in a very invidious position. We know thing of the lady-yon admit that murder was committed on board-you accept command, and the first thing you do is to destroy all taneos of the odme. Yet you expect as to take avory- thing for granted, and de just as you wish.”.
"But I give you my word.".
He raised his hand as if iu protest, "You must forgive me, lint my word is my word, and when I have said that I've said everything. If you're going to throw this poor girl over, you deserve to be hung, and by the Lord Harry I'd willingly do it for you."
I suppose in all b's life he'd never been talked to like that. I certainly did not agree with bim-but little I cared! I wasn't his servant, and had no desire to be.
We'll have to light this matter oat" mid 4 You're ho, as he went towards the gangway. insulted me!"
*Havo I?" I replied "at off my boat, or I'll take my book tɔ you."
Before I could ray any more he was down the gangway, and into the launch alongside.
"You'll hear from me about this," he shouted "I'll teach you that you can't insult up to me. people with impunity, my line gostomu,”
To this threat I offered no reply, bat walked
to the other side of the deck, where Jackson was standing/grinning from ear to ear,
"I don't envy you your employers, if that's a ample," I remarked. "I shoull have liked to manbayl him a bit, It would do bin good.”
"You're not the only one," he replied. "It's just that surt of man who makes a sea life the bell it is. Poor pay, cheap stores, and clear out and flul souther berth if you're not satisfied. It's a paying game from their point of view but not from ours."
“Now what about Miss Alexandra " I asked, We must think about her."
"Why not do what I suggested, and let her go to my mother," be answered. "I'll tell you what I will do. I've got a few pou de saved, and if you like to go tuto it I'll do what I can to help."
His offer touched me more than I can say: He was a typical sailor, full of generosity and kindness of heart-willing to surrender anything he'd got to help another in distress. I told him that there was no need for him to do any thing of the kind--bit that if he would ask his mother ta taks the poor girl in, it woukl not only be As soon as I arrived I despatched a telegramdoing a service to her, but would be laying me to the "Hullkot's" owners, advising them of under an everlasting obligation.

However, in duo sourso, a reply reached me to the effect that a member of the Firm was starting for Plymouth, and would be with m that night.

The rest and quiet of the last wook had worked wendors with her. The colour had come back to her cheeks, and the light into her eyes. How much this pleased me I leave you to guess but why did
not her memory return too? You can have no ides how miserable this made me. Never could
there have been a sweeter woman. That she was grateful for each little services as I could do for her was apparent and yet, try how I might, I could not lift the veil that hid the
secret of the last few weeks.
Accordingly next morning, having, for the time being, severed my connection with the ill fated veggel, I left her in Jackson's charge, and went ashore, taking Miss Alexandra with me, From the manager of ono of the principal hotals I obtained the address of a doctor who was a

life.

It seemed as if the mystery that surrounded har was not to be solved. She sat in her corner of the com partment I had reserved for ourselves, looking straight before her, never glancing out of the window and apparently oblivious of all that went on around her.
On reaching Waterloo we had time to have a eng of tea before catching the train for Hampton Court. It had been a long and tiring journey, but sho hud not once complained. While we were standing on the platform at Waterloo I noticed the way in which people looked at her. Yet she was quite unconscious of any admiration she excited As a matter of fact I really do not beliers that she had any She wus knowledge of bow beatiful she was, the first woman I had ever loved and, in consequence, you must forgive me if I am a iltio conceited, though I can assure you I have not the least intention to be.
