Lite ihat ni^bt she knoll by the opan win dow of her bodvuom, and icokcJ out upon the a'.onny. hoavutiH, upon the ejuiob sea. Ilorin loomed dear tho liorison, a dark aud bliapulcH inarm upon the sleeping ocean. The roiitb>H oyo of thu lighlslup opened and shut; a bat fit tin rod noiselessly past, and vniii.tliod in the velvet diirkucun. "Three days more," Feuella naid, "only three daya. Oh, my uon, rny littlo son 1 Does tlie time aeorn as long to you aa itdooa to your moilicr?" Shu cb>oed tho window aud went to hor bed. Sloop would not coma at first. Hut touard tho time of tho flnod tide ho ulupt and dreamed. Sho dicamctl thai ahu naw a great ahtp an ocean Bteatnnr plowing home ward through a wusto of water. She know that the vesnel carried thosu three lives that wro ho dear to her. Friend, hudhand, child lay abiL-pinjy in. tho cabins, hilled by the throbbing of. the ineoanant ncrow. All piiacu, all.security^apparently. . And yet a voice kept whispering in hor ear, "Watch, watch 1 Danger !" It atomud to tho dreaming woman than that, sho aioed upon the vessel's quiet deck: Not a Kouud broke the quiet except that throbbing of the aorew. >Jot n, sign of lifo appeared, until from the dark companion- hatch of the Hteurage dockhouao a solitary figiiro crept tho figure of a woman. And tho white face it turned upon her, illumined hy the palo rays of tho moon, waa the face of Mine, do Vigny. And tho voice kept whispering, "Watch, wntch 1 Danger I" Sho strove to iihriek aloud and warn thoao on board; lint hor lips were sealed. Sho followed the creeping figiim aft. Followed it down a narrow In iiHa-bnuml stairway, with no conscious movement ol her feet. Followed it through dtihky passages, lighted by dim, swing ing lanterns, and down stairways narrower still. Thon it oamo to a halt and ubo stood behind it, listening and watching. A faint raoping sound. Tho striking of a match. A flickering light that revealed the pla^o in whicli thoy Blood togothor to bo u place imed for the keeping of ship's Rinrett. Oil and tallow, firewood, and can- tiles, coils of dry rffpo,' bundles of inrUehca and other inflammahlo articled wero gather ed ther*. Aud then aho knew, as another match struck and tirod, and the pale blue flame lighted that evil face, the deadly purpose of hor enemy. And oven aa aho Htrovo to burst the handa of silence that held her, datrknrsM fell upon th Rcene. When she opened her eyes, still dream ing, the ntutoly voaael was mill eliding through tho waters, herself removed from it by a distance that seamed impassable. But Htill tho throbbing of tho screw min gled with tho whisper that warned her of danger, to come. Sho at rained her eyes and held her breath, and watched ts she wan bidden. Thon a littlo smoko began to curl upward fr 'in ope of tho aft hatch ways. Thin nnd white, a narrow oolmnii of vapor aluiiiing in the freshening hret-zo. Thou a, forked tongue of yellow flame shot out menacing ly. And then a great, bell began to clang furiously. And mingled with othor sounds catne the sound of voicos ahoutiug together.. Only ono word they kopt repeat- inc. "d that word "Fire." Fire ! fire 1 first ! The vlurknesn wao ban,i"hed now by the fiorco red c[lare that came from the burning vessel. Her dock was alive with orderly gangs of men who eame and went with hose und uuckatH, pouring water down the hatoh- waVH upon tho roaring flames. Forward the pimsengeru crowded together. Aud among thoao white fatieswhich thsqulot stars shone down upon, and the leaping flume a illumi nated with their own fiorco glare, the dreaming woman naw the faon of hor child. Ho was held, not in Ida father's amis, lint in thoso of Jacynth. Frank was stand ing with hia hand upon the ahmildorof that truo friend and stanch companion. Tho men apoko together with stern, gravo look*; tho child laughod and clappod his hands aa the hutting ions of uea water fought with the fire that guawod at tho- vital* of tho brave voaaid, deop below the w'ator-liue.
