When the conflagration was first discovered the lifeboats containing the women and children and many men, were launched, but three of these, owing to the heavy seas, capsized, spilling the passengers In the water and causing the loss of nine lives. Three men, waiters on the vessel, were suffocated before they could reach the outer air in safety from their bunks In the "glory hole" in the aft part of the ship, and one woman died later from exposure. According to the stories told by passengers and crew of the Queen, which arrived In port at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, the vessel was off Tillamook and about thirty miles from land when the fire was discovered. There was a heavy sea on and the ship was pitching badly. When smoke was dis- covered coming out of the social hall on the after main deck of the vessel, the ciew was Immediately rousted out and the hose manned, while the stewards went from cabin to cabin waking up the passengers. There was no disorder, either among the crew or passengers. When Captain Cousins, commander of the vessel, discovered the extent of the fire, which embraced practically all the rear portion of the vessel, he Immediately ordered the life boats launched. Four, filled with women and children and sufficient men to man them, were dropped over from the windward of the vessel, each containing about sixteen people. The first boat capsized almost as soon as it touched the water, by cetting under the stern of the ship. All the passengers In this wer rescued by the other small beats, with the exception of a s Miss Steiner. a passenger, who was drawn under the ship when the boat cansizod. The second boat capsized while being lowered. There wore no passengers In this at the time, but the crew of four men who wero aboard was spilled out and lost. A third boat filled about half a mile from the Queen, and all but four of Its passengers and crew were rescued by the other small craft In the vicinity. first-clas- CHAPTER. XV. The Fate of Lord Cluny Neville. On tides of glory England was borne the next three years, to a national honor and strength which bad never before been dreamed of. Never in her whole history had the government been at once so thorough and so penetrated with a desire for honesty For the first time, the sense of social duty to the state took the place of the old spirit of loyalty to the sovereign. For the first time and only time in the history of Europe, morality and religion were the qualifications insisted on by a court. In the meantime Spain was helping Charles with money which was spent in plots to assassinate the Protector. The effect of this was several petitions and addresses offered In Parliament begging Cromwell to assume the ancient office of King, if only for the settlement of the nation. He was quite Etrong enough to have taken It, and there was nothing unmanly either In his desire for the crown or In his refusal of It, One thing he knew well, that the title of King would take all meaning out of the Puritan revolution, and he could not bo break with his own past, with his own spiritual life, and with the godly men who had so faithfully followed and so fully trusted him. Why should he fret himself about a mere word? All real power was In his hands; the army and the navy, the churches and the universities, the reform and administration of the law, and government of Scotland and of Ireland. Abroad, the war with all Its details, the alliance with Sweden, with France, with the Protestant princes of Germany, the Protestant Protectorate extend irg as far as Transylvania, 'the "planting" of the West Indies, the settlement of the American Colonies, and their defense against their rivals, the French all these subjects were Cromwell's dally cares. "To be a king Is not In my commls- and capacity. effort to consummate their long en gagement was furiously indignant il she spoke of ending It, Then, also, she had fears connected with Cymlin, When Very yOurg be bad begun to save money in order to make himself a possible suitor for Matilda's hand, In the Irish campaign he had been exceedingly fortunate; he had bought and sold estates, and exchanged prisoners for specie, and In other ways so manipulated his chances that in every case they bad left behind a golden residuum. Jr.nc had told Matilda two years previously that Cymlin was richer than his father, and she might have said more than this and been within the truth. But In this rapid accumulation of wealth, Cymlin had developed the love of wealth. Matilda knew that if she would carry out her Intention of making over de Wick house and land to Stephen, it must be done before she married Cymlin. Yet if she surrendered it to Stephen under present circumstances, everything would go, In 6orae way or other, to the needy, beggarly Stuart Court. She was fretfully thinking over this dilemma in its relation to a new plot against Cromwell's life, when Jane S waffham visited her one morning In February of 1G58. Jane's smiling serenity aggravated her restless temper. "Does nothing on earth ever give you an unhappy thought, Jane?" she asked. "You look as if you dwelt in Paradise." "I only have to tell you there is another plot." "I have nothing to do with It" "Some one you know may bs In danger." "Stephen is at Cologne. If you are thinking of Stephen, thank you. I will write and tell him to keep good hope in his heart, that Jane Swaffham remembers him." "Dear Matilda, do not make mock of my kindness.

She wrote word a hour that every letter, Rupert of which was flame and tears. When it was finished, she sent a man with it on the instant to catch the Dover mall packet, and all this was accomplished before she had any opportunity to talk over the affair with her uncle. When she did so, he regretted her precipitancy, and refused to move in the matter at all. "It would be the height of Imprudence," he Eald.

No one can tell how Charles this reputedly will act, when his hands are able to serve bis will. I will not then make an enemy of so powerful a man as Prince Rupert Is like to be." It was rarely Sir Thomas spoko with such decision, and Matilda was much Impressed by his words. They made her hesitate suil more about her marriage with Cymlin. During the first hours of her discovery, Matilda had wondered if she ought to tell Jane what proof of Cluny's death bad come to them; for In ber heart she scoffed at the Idea of Cluny returning to Paris to sell tho Jewels. But Jane did not visit her for some time, and she was daily expecting an answer from Trince Rupert. This lctler might be of great importance, one way or another, and she rewdved to wait for IL It came more rapidly than she had anticipated, and its contents temporarily fanned to flame her dying Illusions cona fe-blcerning her first lover. In this letter Rupert "on his honor" reiterated his fift statement. He declared that he left Neville In health and safety, having at the tart moment urged upon him his own swift Barb, which offer Neville refused. He said he should seek mar'emolsfcne'a presence until he sa ber wear; s the Jewels, and then. makoque!,tioa concerning them;and If not satisfied, u at once to her Uncle Mazarin. He was sure It was cow only a few weeks ere the truth would be discovered. These promises were blended with bis usual protestations of undying devotion, and Matilda was pleased, though she was not satisfied. For to Rupert's letter there was a postscript, and In that postscript one word which sent the blood to hsr heart, cold with terror "P. 8.

"Yes," replied Lady Jevery. "And what you say is also very curious, for I once possessed a necklace, brooch and two bracelets like the one I am now wearing. All the pieces were lost excepting this bracelet." "But how? let me inquire; where were they lost?" "Somewhere near Paris. I had Intrusted them to a friend who has s never since been heard of.

"But this is most strange most " strange "Most strange and most suspicious," said Matilda indignantly. "I should say it was evidence that Lord Neville was murdered, and that bis Eminence bought jewelry for Hortense Mancinl in some irregular way. If I were Lady Jevery, I would insist on knowing from- whom." "Oh, you do make one great mistake, I do assure you! Mademoiselle Mancinl is impeccable. You must rest content that the Jewels came into her possession In the most correct manner." Barely listening to these words, Matilda curtsied and abruptly left th room. All now seemed plain to hei Intelligence. Rupert had lied to hen Ho had Elain and robbed Neville, and the jewels had been sold to Mazarin. A sudden passion of pity for the handsome young lord came over her. "It was too mean, too Eavagely cruel for anything!" she almost sobbed. "Men who can do such things are not fit to be loved by women. They are brutes. I will write to Rupert at once. I must know the truth of thl matter.
