CHAPTER VI. (Continued.,
I followed his directions to the porch
enclosed with glass, and found Miss Gra
ham sitting there with an elderly woman
who proved to be her aunt, Miss Corey.
She presented me, and the elder lady,
after making a few comments on tho
awful night, withdrew. Still standing, I
put my hand into my inner pocket and
drew forth the bos with tho locket.
"When I went back to the Ship this
afternoon I found you had dropped the
locket from your chain. Permit mo to re
turn it."
"Oh 1" she said. "How good of you to
bring it! I discovered it was gone and
was afraid I might not be able to find it
after the storm. Thank you so much,
Mr. Sclden."
I felt singularly cold and haughty, and
seemed to detect a certain reserve also
in her manner. The air of tho Penguin
Club was not conducive- to informality.
I had Intended to call her attention to
the fact that the locket was open when
I came upon it, but could not bring my
self to do so in the face of the chill that
seemed to have settled down upon us.
"Won't you sit down and talk to me?"
she said, but I shook my head.
"I must be getting back. The storm is
getting worse every minute. The wood
road will soon ba a swollen river."
There came a growl of thunder and a
flash of livid lightning. Miss Graham
scarcely moved a muscle. "I love
storms," she said, "but I don't blame you
for wanting to get home as soon as you
can. You must be soaked even in those
clothes."
I looked at my rough attire, and then
at the dainty white evening gown she
wore, and laughed a little sharply at tho
contrast
"It's lucky I don't often come to the
club," I said. "They would probably
warn me from tho premises as a scare
crow of ill omen."
Rodney Islip came on to the porch, in
evening dress, as though to emphasize my
own incongruities.
"Will you dance, Barbara?" he said.
"They're playing one of your favorite
waltzes." Then he discovered me. "Hel
lo, old chap!" said he. "How the deuco
came you here? You don't mean to tell
me you rode through the thick of this
etorm?"
Petty resentment got the better of me;
I barely noticed him, and bowed to the
girl.
"Don't let me keep you, Miss Graham.
My mission is over. Good nignt."
She held out her hand; I barely, touch
ed it. I was at the door wuen uoaney
spoke. "I say, old man, have you seen
the evening papers? Terrible times in
France, more trouble on the market; let
me get you the news." He was so full of
the stock exchange himself that he
thought we must all be interested.
"No. I thank you," I answered, blunt
ly, and went out, scorning myself for ray
rudeness to this chap whose only fault
lay in the fact that Miss Graham cared
bo much about him. I was to be still
more scornful of this rudeness to him in
the days to come.
I stood in the shadow while they
passed me, then I stole back to the
class-covered porch and looked in for a
moment at the dancing. I watched Islip
lead Miss Graham on to the floor and
float away with her, and I caught sight
of the locket hanging on its chain about
her throat. She looked very fuir in her
white gown, with her neck bare, und Islip
looked very happy as he danced with her
I looked again at my own rough, un-
couth garm. This was no place for me.
Suddenly I hated the Penguin Club and
nil it contained, all its civilization, all its
clothes and dances. I would be off to my
little hut in the dunes, with no one but
Charles by, and he my very humble ser
vant.
Nero was ready, and I swung myseJf
up and plunged off again into the night.
Flashes of lightning showed me the depth
of the water in the woods. I ploughed
my way homeward, caring nothing what
happened, riding as though a legion of
devils pursued.
I paid no attention to Charles' fire and
the hot grog that he had ready. I flung
off my sodden clothes and went to bed
finding my one satisfaction in the crash
ing guns of the thunder that seemed to
bombard Alastair from the sky. It was
certainly the night for any mysterious
deed, I remember thinking as I fell asleep
CHAPTER VII.
I must have been asleep for some time
when a sudden sky-crackiug crash of
thunder brought me wide awake. An in
stinctive movement made me jump out of
bed and go to the front window which
looks out upon the sea. Tho blackness
of the pit, and only tho roar of the
waves against the cliff! Then while I
peered into the night came a flash of
lightning, revealing the beach and the
waves and the open sea with startling
clearness. The scene was aver in the
time it takes to tell it, but I had seen
something a long ship's boat, oar-blades
flashing, half way between the light of
the Shifting Shoal and Alastair. There
followed blackness, and another crash of
the sky's guns.
I waited, my eyes trained on the spot.
and again came the flash, and now, out
near the Shoal, I saw a long, black
schooner, bare of canvas, pitching like
mad In the moll of an angry" sea. She
was not on the Shoal she might be some
distance off it but she was tasting a
very nasty squall. Darkness, another
peal, more lightning, and now I saw that
the long boat, snooting lurlouiiy land
ward, was heading towards me, was mak
ing straight for the beach as fast as the
waves ana the oarsmen couta anve ner.
Another lifting of night, and I saw a tall
joanJis seemed strangely, uncannily tall
half standing, half stooping In tho
stern sheets, tho ends of a capo flying
past him in tho galo.
hcn I could see again tho long boat
was making ready for tho dash Into tho
roaring Biirf. Tho oarsman there woro
somo twelve were laboring to keep tho
bow straight on. Tho tall man was stand
ing up to see where ho should go, and I
caught sight of his white and storm-dis
torted face. I could not move, I could
not utter a cry ; I stood transfixed, scarce
breathing, my body taut, waiting to seo
what would happen next.
Seconds passed In the darkness, then
a flash, and I saw that the boat had
weathered tho worst of tho surf, and was
grinding on the shore. Four of the men
had leaped out and were hauling hard
at the sides; the steersman, gaunt and
black, still clutched the tiller, half
crouching, and was shouting. Succeeding
darkness gave me a chance to wonder
what manner of men were these making
for Alastair, deserting their ship on tho
coast, and landing whore thero was no
harbor, and only a shingle beach, dight
again, and I stood dumfounded, trans
fixed, for I saw a little procession march
ing up the beach to the pines east of me:
first the tall man in the long, black, Hap
ping cloak, then two men bearing a good-
sized box between them, and then two
others, carrying what looked to mo
like shovels. Darkness, a terrible roar
of thunder, and I pinched myself to make
sure that I was awake.
I struck a match and held it behind my
hand in order that no signal should be
given. My watch told me the hour was
half past one. I found that I was shiv
ering from the cold, and slipped into my
coat. At every flash of light I was back
at the window, raking the beach with my
eyes. I saw nothing but tho grounded
boat, with a number of men standing by,
and far off the tossing hulk of the schoon-
I did not even dare step into the hall
to call Charles, so afraid was I of losing
something of this remarkable sight. Min
utes passed. I kept my watch in my
hand. Flash succeeded flash at greater
Intervals, but the scene was still the
same: the boat evidently waiting, the far
ther reaches of the beach empty.
Half an hour had gone when my pa
tience was rewarded. The same, proces
sion appeared from tho pines, minus only
so far as I could see the box that two
of them had carried. There was a long
interval of blackness, and then I saw the
long boat plunging again through the
breakers, and the crew struggling to keep
her righted with their oars. I could see
the boat was sharp at either end, and the
men no novices at the dangerous work
of beaching. They were gone, going back
to their schooner, and I felt that the
spirit of mystery was lifting from Alas
tair.
Still I Waited, and in time the scene
lighted, and I saw that the boat had left
something: the tall, cloaked man still
stood upon the beach, gazing seaward as
though to catch the last of his mates. I
remember that even in that brief in
stant I felt there was something strange
about him, something fantastic, some
thing out of keeping with the New Lng-
land shorer
Darkness shut in, the roar of thunder
lessened, the lightning passed; the outer
world only sent me the deep, distant
booming of the sea upon the cliff.
stumbled back to bed and pulled tho
clothes about me, full of wonder at what
my eyes had seen.
I lay there for a long time, thinking.
conjecturing what all this strange mat
ter meant. Somehow, my quiet beach had
been transformed ; the space between the
cliffs now shadowed forth a mystery, and
yet, preposterous as the Idea seemed, I
felt in pome way that I had always ex
pected a remarkable something to happen,
my dreams in some way to come true, for
Alastair was no common place and was
fit for some surprising history.
In time I dropped asleep, to dream of
queer things.
CHAPTER VIII.
When I awoke in the morning I was
more than half of the mind that I Imd
dreamed of the lightning's singular pic
tures, or at least that, being suddenly
startled from sound sleep and dazzled by
successive flashes and stunned by the
rnnr nf thunder, my imagination had
played some trick on me. Anything else
seemed too remarkable to be believed. Yet
I mnlfl not nuite convince myself that I
had not seen the tormented schooner, fho
landing on the beach of the long boat, the
march into the pines, and the final pic
ture of that tall, caunt figure gazing sea
ward. I could not believe that my imagi
nation or my dreams could be so vivid as
my remembrance of those scenes.
I nuestloned Charles closely at break
fast as to how he had passed the night.
It seemed that he had slept stolidly
through all the uproar. Even had he not,
he would probably have Been nothing, for
his room was at the back of the house.
The storm continued, though with les
nenwl violence. After breakfast I ven
tured out, dressed for a wetting, and
went first to the place where, as I re
membered, tho long boat had been bcach
ri. The waves had done away 'with all
traces of the keel. Then I followed as
nwriv HH I could the oath which the
strangers bad taken to the pines j but
the wind and rain nau oDiiceratea ine
footsteps, If there bad ever been any
T naked Into the Dines, only to
bo drenched by waterfalls for my pains.
The mystery was as aeep as ever wnen
I finally desisted and went back to abel-
After some thought, I determined to
keep my secret to myself. Charles would
respectfully listen to my statement, but
without further evidence hi irouia t
only too apt, taking tho facts In con-
unction with my inystoriouB rldo to tb
club in tho evening, to bellove I had
dreamed it all. What would a schooner's
crew bo doing on our lonely beach la
the hoight of a midnight storm? A sen
sible man would naturally bo inclined to
doubt.
I settled down to work. and. shutting
my mind both to tho mystery and to Miss
Graham, succeeded In getting a good deal
done by night. Tho next day 1 passed In
similar fashion, living in quiet comfort
so long as the storm lasted.
The third day broke fair, and early in
the morning I swept the Bea and tie
bench with my binoculars. Nover wero
sea and land more peaceful; the tempest
appeared to have cleared the atmosphere
and brought It to a now Berenlty. Mj
work accomplished, I set out for tho little
river to tho west of tho cliff, to seo how
my catbbat had weathered the gale. I
found thero was soma balling to be done,
and then, called by a gentle breeze, I ran
up Ball and for an hour bent up the cnan
nel. Tho hot sun of noon sent mo home,
and I sat down to my mid-day dinner.
Charles had brought mo papers and a
note from tho club. I ran through the
papers first, to prove to myself how llttlo
I oared for tho note, but at laft I broke
Its seal.
"I am eolng to hold you to your invita
tion for sun'ner In the Ship now that th
storm Is over. May wo have it to-day
about 0?"
That was all, without even a signa
ture.
I was In two minds as to what to do.
I could not disappoint her without seom-
Ing more than churlish, without writing
myself down onco and for nil as no gen
tleman, and yet the sight of her note
roused much of my sleeping resentment.
If I went, I would at least show her that
two could play at her game.
I visited the larder and decided on a
menu. Then I startled Charles half out
of his senses, though to his credit bo it
said lie never showed It. "You will pack
these things" I iminted out certain pro
visions "in the wheelbarrow, and take
them on to the Ship on tho bench. Yon
will also take tho folding-table from my
study, nnd two folding-chairs, and set
tflie table on the deck. I am going to
take supper there with a lady at 0. You
can leave the iced tea in a bottle. Have
the supper ready at a quarter before tho
hour, and then leave. We will not re
quire any service."
"Yes, Mr. Felix," said Charles, sedate
ly. I frowned ns though tho wholo pro
ceeding bored me, nnd returned to my
work.
As half past 5 I dressed carefully and
left the house. As I walked up the beach
I could not help but contrast this sunny
scene with tho night of the storm. What
ever that night had brought to Alastair,
it was clear I was not to know much
about it.
I waited on the shore until Miss Gra
ham" appeared, and crossed the path with
her to the Ship. I pulled tho snort rope-
ladder over tho side and helped her on
board. Wo beheld a supper table immac
ulately set, and places for two.
Miss Graham was delighted, and I
could not help relenting a little when I
saw how very pleased sho was More
over, I was the host, nnd sho my guest,
and I could not cast a shadow over my
own feast. I tried, therefore, ns best I
could, to forget Islip and the locket, and
to think only of what a beautiful late
afternoon it was, of how fresh the smell
of the sea came to the old Ship's decks,
and of the beauty of the girl who sat
across from me. I think she detected
that at first I was making an effort, and
so tried to help me, for she was very
lively and talkative, making much sport
of the supper, all the courses of which
were spread before us at once, and ol
our having to wait upon ourselves.
When we had finished supper, I asked
Miss Graham's permission to light a clg
nrette, and pushed my chair a little back
from the table. There was a new moon
in the sky. and I pointed it out to her.
"This is the finest hour of the day,"
I said. "If only the Ship would up an
chor and take us for a sail !"
"If your pirate doesn't come now, just
after sunner. with a crescent moon nane-
ing right side up, I don't believe he erer
will." nut in the girl pensively.
Her playful words, combined with the
incenuous voice and the far-away, child
like dreaming of her eyes, aroused some
thing of my old resentment. Almost be
fore I knew what I was doing l had lai
len a victim to an impulsive temptation,
and was leaning on the table with my
eyes fixed on her.

Acidity nnd Ilullcr Flavor.
It has been a generally accepted
theory among teachers of and writers
on dairy subjects that tho production
of cood butter necessitates tho devel
opment of a certain amout of acid In
the cream, for two reasons, to develop
i desirable flavor and to Improve the
keeping quality. Recent Investiga
tions by the United States Department
3f Agriculture Indicate, however, that
butter made from Pasteurized Bwect
ream has better keeping qualities and
remains free from objectionable flav
ors for a longer time than butter
mado from sour cream. If these facts
ire established it might seem that In
the years to como only Bweet cream
would be bought for butter making.
