A Tale iRcd Heart Black Arrow oT the Rolling Wave gethor uncommonly well, sir." "Oh, he is all rightâ€" up to date," CUArXKU VII. The uext morning every one vras glad to hour thiit Zuvertr.l's predicr lion had been verilioil, ami t»at Lord Parranmoro was not much, the worse for his faint ut the dinncr- tftblc. It got to be generally known throughout the ship that the boy's heart was nllected ; and when he rame on deck during the morning, looking pale and seedy, he became the victim of a universal sympathy which didn't best r)lcase him. "It's all rot," was his indignant reply when I met him and remarked that he would have to "go easy" and take care of himself. "There's iiothing the matter with me â€" at least, I never had anything the mat- ter before. I expect 1 had coo uiuch of that meringue cream." The weather continued fine and sunny, with just enough breeze to revive the jaded among the passen- gers without making them uncom- fortable. Being now clear of the Channel, my i>rcscnce on the bridge Was seldom required, and I contrived to have several delightful chats with Aline, Mrs. lirinkworth discreetly making opportunities for a portion - of them to bo tete-a-tete. At the same time 1 did not allow my love aflair to obscure my duties to the other passengers, and I worked hard to add to the general yacht-like life on board. All sorts of amusements in the musical and theatrical line were being jirojected, the doctor showing untiring energy in discover- ing amateur talent where it might least have been expected. He even laid an embargo on General Waldo to give a character recitation , from Kip Van Winkle at a variety enter- tainment that he was planning for the succeeding night, The Yankee veteran was discussing Zavertal's en- terprise in a constitutional we took together before tilTin. "Wonderful pushing fellow, this doctor of yours. Captain," he said, us wo paced the deck. "You and he are just cut out for running a mar- ine hydropathic show like this, lie's an old partner of yours, I reckon." "On the contrary, I've only known him a week," 1 replied. "This is my »first voyage In the Queen, you Tiiust remcmlier." "Ah. but friend Zavertal hasn't always been at this game, I opine," returned Waldo, with an imjiatient gesture and one of his quizzical glances. "You can bet he qualilied in a wider .school than thi.'i. I guess- ed you might have pulled together previously." "No, General," I said, wondering a little at his persistence after my first denial. "The doctor and I arc quite new acijuaintanccs, though I must say that 1 hope wo shall one day be old ones. lie is a pleasant comjianion to sail with, and about the best man (or the berth of ship's- Burgeon I ever came across." "A responsible positionâ€" that of ship's doctor," roiiiarkcd Waldo, more thoughtfully than as yet I had heard him speak. "It entails the jjower of life and deathâ€" the perfect- ly unchecked jiower of life and death." On the top of this conversation I was rather amused when Zavertal on the same afternoon took an oppor- tunity of inentioning Waldo to me from much the same point of view. "Fine specimen of the globe-trot- ting American, tiiat neighbor of ' yours at the saloon table," he said. "You and he seem to hit it olY to- I replied. "Perhaps one might get bored in time with his everlasting yarns of Western life." "I thought you might have met him beforeâ€" you seemed so friendly," 'Zavertal said in the careless tone of one who really wants to know. "No, X never saw the General be- fore on sea or land," I -said. "Ho is not the sort of man one would forget either. He has a peculiarity. He strikes mo as being a little more 'twangy' than most Americans of his class nowadays." •You are right," replied the doc- tor, "and it is bound to be genu- ine. That is about the only thing an American wouldn't exaggerate purposely." I had got pretty intimate with Zavertal during the four or five days we spent together before the ship sailed. I had told him of the Am- erican, Kennard, who had called at Nathan's oflice while I was waiting t'o be engaged, and I had since dis- cussed with him his strange for- feiture of his passage, Zavertal - re- mnrking playfully that perhaps the gentleman wixh the pistol had met him again and had not been so for- bearing. I was now on the point of mentioning casually how for half a second on the previous night Wal- do's expression had reminded me of the absent passenger, but some one hailed me from the bridge and the subject dropped. A little later on the afternoon of that third day out Zavertal propos- ed a game of "hide-and-seek," and was soon surrounded by a number of younger passengers eager to join. Several of them hid in turn, and were found in more or less probable hiding-places â€" under the companion stairs, behind the piano in the music room, while one adventurous maiden gave a longer chase than usual by stowing herself in the flag-locKer be- hind the aft wheel-house. Then it was Lord Darranmore's turn to hide, and the searchers all retired to the dome over the Saloon-stairs while he concealed himself. Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth, in common with a number of other non-players, were sitting under the awning watching the game when it chanced on to tlie upper decjc, and chatting to myself and to General Waldo, who by this time was on speaking terms with every living soul on the ship. Thus wo four were together when Lord Darrenmore came out of the deck-house to hide. The best places on the upper deck having already been exhausted by other players, the ladies expressed the opinion that ho would have to go below if he was to show good sport. "With due submission, I guess not, " remarked Waldo. "The young'un has got a best bower to play, to judge by his manoeuvres." It seemed to mo that the General was right. The boy did not hesitate for an instant, as if doubtful where to go, but turned and went forward on the port side till ho camo nearly abreast of the doctor's cabin, op- posite which our steam-launch was slung. The davits supporting it were turned inwards over the deck to prevent any risk of losing the launch in heavy weather, so that it was ac- cessible without danger of falling overboard. It was covered with a tarpaulin, and to reach it would bo necessary to swarm up the davit, but these difTicultics were not going Kidney Trouble and Lumbagfo. Thirty Years of Backache and Rheumatismâ€"Winter Season is Especially Severeâ€"Attributes Cure to DR. CHASE'S KIDNEÂ¥-LSyER PILLS. This season of the year is especial- ly trying on the older people. Tho pains and aches grow more severe in the cold and changiahle weather, |thc kidneys got out of order, rheu- rmatism and lumbago torture their K'ictims, there are aching liacks and limbs, stomach derangements, iirin- 'nry and bowel disorders and serious, painful, and fatal maladies. , Dr. Chase's Kidnoy-Ljver Pills are particularly suited to the needs of .persons of advanced age. Tliey re- iffulatc and invigorate tho liver, kid- Seys, and bowels and prove effectual hen oixlinary medicines fail. This etter from Mr. Uobcrt Jackfion gives some idea of what this treat- ment i.s accomplishing every day. â-  Mr. Robert Jackson, ship carpen- ter, Port Uobinson, Ont., states :â€" "I was afflicted with kidney trouble «nd lumbago for about thirty years. The winters were always very severe on mc, av4 I was many times in- •capacitale<l with ail the serious symptoms of both troubles. I had baduLcUe, i^Iiousness, TheumatlbUi, headache, and constipation, and was wrecked i>hysicnlly. I used all sorts of medicines, and have been treated by tho medical profession to no pur- pose. "In tho spring of l'J02 I began using Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and from tho start received great benefit. I continued the treat- ment until I fully recovered good health and vigor, my old trouble being a thing of the past. I am seventy-five years old, and if, at my advanced age, I have received such grand results from the ur:e of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills after years of unnecessary suffering, there can be no doubt of their efficacy in the treatment of younger persons.

Zavertal was standing in the door of the comi)anion-way ready to give the word to the searchers, and he smil- ed and winked at us as the young Earl began to shin up the davit hand-ovcr-hand. Uarranmore soon got a grip on the bulwarks of the launch, and we watched him raise the edge of the tarpaulin, duck his head beneath it, and slowly wriggle out of sight. As soon as he had disappeared Zaver- tal gave the word to the seekers, und they came trooping out of the com- panion-way to commence the search. The quest had ha'ixlly begun In earnest when Lord Darranmore's head reappeared from under tho tarjiaulin, and it was seen that his face wore a comic expression of alarm and excitement. "I say, this game's off," he cried, clambering out of the launch. "There's a chap hiding in there al- ready." "Nonsense," said Zavertal, going up to him as he reached the deck. "You must be mistaken. Lord Dar- ranmore. There caoi't by any one there." "I tell you I'm not mistaken," re- torted the lad hotly. "There's a man lying huddled Up In the bows. I heard him breathing first, and then I put my hand out and felt him." "We'll soon settle it," I said, joining the group with Waldo and a number of other passengers. "Here, Smith," I added to a quar- termaaster who was passing, "just take a look under that tarpaulin, and see if you can catch a stow- away." But before the order could bo exe- cuted tho boy's statement was veri- fied in a dillerent way. The tar- paulin over the bows of the launch was raised, and a head covered with touzled black hair appeared, pre- senting such a ivoebegone figure of fun that some of the possengers laughed. The apparition looked like a foreigner, and certainly did not be- long to the ship. As for myself, I felt considerable annoyance, for a stowaway was a pest against which I had taken no precautions, it not occurring to me that any one would try to sneak a passage on a ship not known as a regular "liner." "Come down out of that," I said. "We will see if we canjt find you better quarters in the hold with a brace of anklets to steady you." But the threat fell fiat. "No spik Ingleese. Angry," moaned the stow- away. "Poor fellow, he means that he is hungry. Don't be hard on him," pleaded Aline, who had come up with the rest, and to that sweet inter- vention the stranger owed the treat- ment that was meted out to him. By signs he was at length induced to leave tho launch, and on reaching the deck he stood revealed as a tall, finely-built fellow with features that, despite their extreme swarthincss, were by no moans ill-looking. Za- vertal, who was a master of many languages, tried him with several, and nt last pronounced him to be a Spaniard and a ship's steward by calling, who, failing to find a berth on a ship going to Spain, had taken this way of getting home. "Very well," I said ; "we will al- low him to work his way, but he shall not get off too easy, lie must go the round trip with us, and we will leave him at Gibraltar or Lis- bon on the homeward voyage. Off with him forward and give him some food." My verdict having been translated to him, he was taken in charge by tl'.o quartermaster, bowing and scraping his thanks. The excitement lasted the iiasseiigers tho rest of the afternoon, Lord Darranmorc creating much amusement by taking all the cre<lit of the capture. I heard Waldo drawing him on the subject of his discovery. "I guess you were never smart enough to think of the launch to hide in yourself ?" sold the General. "Well, not quite," admitted the boy reluctantly. And who might have been respon- sible for that bright idea ?" asked the old gentleman. "It was the doctor who put me up to it," said Darranmore. Waldo did not pursue tho matter further, but walked away with a iiueer shrug of his shoulders. That night at dinner the swarth.v Spaniard, washed and brushed u]), took his place among tho assistant stewards who waited at Zavertal's table. CHAPTER VIII. Tho run across the Bay of Biscay was accomplished in line weather, and on tho morning of tho fifth day out, when the passengers came on deck, Gibraltar was in sight right ahead. By tho time breakfast was over we had threaded our way through tho coal-hulks, and the Queen of Night lay at anchor a quarter of a milo from the New Mole. In a twinkling she was sur- rounded by tho usual medle.v of shore-Boats, manned by the jabber- ing hucksters of water-melons and grapes. Away on the liock the bugles were sounding merrily for aaorning parade, and even from our anchorage tho great grey mass, with the straggling town at foot, was seen to be as gay as a geranium bed with the blaze of British scar- let. My instructions from the owners were to allow a clear twenty-four huurn at this port, to enable the passengers to go ashore and explore it thoroughly. Numerous parties had already been -formed for the purpose, and our boats were soon busily engaged in transporting sight- seers to tho landing-place. Among the first to start was a boat-load personally conducted by Zavertal, comprising Lord Darranmore and his tutor, Mr. Orlebar being also with the party. The latter had been drinking heavily ever since he came on board, and I heard the doctor trying to induce him to remain quietly on the ship under the pre- text that the excitement of a day's outing would be injurious to him. But this representation only had the effect of increasing • his determina- tion to go, and Zavertal yieldedâ€" somewhat too readily, I thought. Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth had ar- ranged to join a party which was going under the escort of General Waldo, and at the last moment, finding that there was nothing to keep me on board, I decided to ac- company them. On landing we strolled through the main gate and up the steep street to the post office for letters and telegrams. On en- tering the building we were met by the doctor's party just leaving after making a similar call. His convoy were mostly busy with their corres- pondence, but Zavertal himself crammed a cablegram ho was read- ing into his pocket, and came up to me, looking worried and anxious. "That infernal fellow, Orlebar, has given us the slip," he said. "Per- haps I ought to have been more careful, but as he gets all he wants on the ship and I didn't think that ho would seize upon the chance of a shore racket. I expect he's soaking himself in some wine-shop by this time." "I shouldn't trouble about it," I replied. "The man is a free agent, and so long as he doesn't make him- self personally offensive to others we can't very well control him." But, as it turned out, the con- tingency I mentioned was just what we had to reckon with. Zavertal's party and mine separated again, his to go through the galleries and mount to the flagstaff ; while we preferred to loiter away the day in the Spanish shops and among the quaint byways of the old town. We lunched at the hotel, and later on we were sitting in the public gar- dens, having what Waldo cal'.ed "a high old time," when that worthy veteran, who was next me, touched me on the arm and whispered' â€" "Here comes tho black sheep. Look out for squalls. Captain ; he ap- pears to be on a thundering out- West tear." Following the direction of his eyes, I saw Orlebar coming toward us, and his demeanor certainly war- ranted the General's warning. His blood*>»at eyes glared with drunken ferocity, and his wild gesticulations as he maUe straight for us were al- ready causing alarm to the half- dozen ladies of our party. Mrs. Brinkworth especially, who was sit- ting on the other side of the Gen- eral, went as white as a sheet, and I remembered the recognition of- her by Orlebar which I had noticed on the first day out.
