Of all the changes fate could bring this she had never dreamed of, that she should be robust, and he sosick and in pain.

She passed an uneasy, restless night, and

long before morning she awoke, for the sixth or seventh time, and she awoke with a misgiving in her mind; and some sound ringing in her ears. She listened and heard nothing; but in a few moments it be- gan again. It was Hazal talking—talking in a man- ner 8o fast, so strange, so loud that it made her blood run cold. It was the voice of Hazel, but not his mind.

She drew near, and, io her dismay, found him fever-stricken, and pouring out words with no sequence. She came close to him and tried to soothe him, but he answered her quite at random and went on flinging out the strangest things in strange order. She trembled and waited for a lull, hoping then to soothe him with words and tones of tender pity.

‘Dens and caves! he roared, answering an imaginary detractor. ‘Well, never mind, love shali make that hole in the rock a palace for a queen; for the queen. Here he suddenly changed characters and fancied he was interpreting the discourse of another. ‘He means the Queen of the Fairies,’ said he, patronizingly; then, re- suming his own character with defiance, ‘I say her chamber shall outlive the glories of the Alhambra, as far as the lillies outshone

and he seemed to be puzzling hard over something.

The result came out in a clear articulate senten¢e that made Helen recoil, and, holding by the mast, cast an indescribable look of wonder and dismay on the speaker.

The words that so staggered her were these to the letter.

‘She says she hates reptiles. marries Arthur Wardlaw.”’

Yet she f

CHAPTER XXXIX,

Tue very name of Arthur Wardlaw startl- ed Helen, and made her realize how com- pletely her thoughts had been occupied with another.

But add to that the strange and bitter epigram ! Or was it a mere fortuitous con- course of words ?

She was startled, amazed, confounded, puzzled. And, ere she could recover her composure, Hazel was back to his problem again; but no longer with the same energy.

He said in a faint and sleepy voice: ‘He maketh the winds His messengers, and flames of fre His ministers. Ah! if 1 could do that! Well, why not? Ican do anything she bids me—

‘Greeculus esuriens ccelum jusseris ibit.’

Aud soon after this doughty declaration he dozed off, and forgot all his troubles for awhile.

The sun rose, and still he slept, and Helen watched him with undisguised ten- derness in her face; undisguised now that he could not see it.

Ere long she had companions in her care. Ponto came out of his den, and sniffed about the boat; and then began to scratch it, and wimper for his friend. Tommy swam out of the sea, came to the boat, diseovered, Heaven knows how, that his friend wes there, and, in the way of noises,
