Clode f j That she was "a young person ot some maritime experience was visible to the connoisseurs above at a glance. She was busily engaged in packing the spacious lockers of the Daisy with cer tain stores of apples, oranges and veg etablesranging from the lordly new potato (an aristocrat at that time of the-year) to the plebeian cabbage and her lithe, active figure moved with an ease born of confidence in the erratic principles of gravitation as codified and arranged by a rocking boat. Pollard, too, was overhauling his gear, seeing that the mast was secure ly stepped and the tackle ran free. While they worked they talked, and, of course, tne critics listened. "Do you think the weather will hold, Ben?" asked the girl over her shoulder, stooping to arrange some clusters of daffodils and narcissus so that they should not suffer by the lurch of some heavy package when the boat keeled j over. , , . .

Any reflection on the spanking powers of, his pilchard driver would rouse Ben instantly, i ' ' "As if I didn't know all you could teach me," she cried, "and as if any one in all Cornwall could teach me bet ter." The old fisherman was mollified. He looked along the quay. "Time we'm cast off," he said. "Miss Constance be a plaguy long time fetchin them wraps." "Oh, Ben, how can you say that? She had to go all the way to the cot tage. Why, if she ran" "Here she be," he broke In, "an she b'ain't runnin', neither. Hcr's got a young man In tow." What announcement would straight en the back of any girl of nineteen like unto, that? Enid Trevillion turned and stood upright. "Why. it's Jack!" she cried, waving a delighted hand. 'So it be," admitted Pollard, after a surprised stare. "WTien I look land ward my eyes b'ain't so good as they was." He stated this fact regretfully. No elderly sea dog will ever acknowledge to failing vision when he gazes at the level horizon he knows so well. This is no pretense of unwilling age; it is wholly true. The settled chaos of the shore bewilders him. The changeful sea cannot. Meanwhile, the dawdlers Hninsr the wharf, following Enid's signals with their eyes, devoted themselves to a covert staring at the young people hurrying along the quay. Constance Brand, being a young and pretty woman, secured their Instant suffrages. Indeed, she would have won the favorable verdict of a more 6evere audience. Taller than Enid, she had the brown hair and hazel eyes of her father. To him. too. she owed the frank, self reliant poise of head and clearly cut, refined features which con veyed to others that all important first good impression. Blended with Ste phen Brand's firm Incisiveness, and softening the quiet strength of her marked resemblance to him, was an essential femininity which lifted her wholly apart from the ruck of hand some English girls who find delight In copying the manners and even the dress of their male friends. Her costume was an exact replica of that of Enid. She walked well and rapidly, yet her alert carriage had a grace, a subtle elegance, more fre quently seen in America than in Eng land. Her lively face, flushed with exercise, and, it may be, with some little excitement, conveyed the same transatlantic characteristic. One said at seeing her: "Here Is a girl who has lived much abroad." It came as a sur prise to learn that she had never crossed the channel. The man with her. Lieutenant John Perclval Stanhope, R. N., was too fa miliar a figure in Penzance to evoke muttered comment from the gallery. A masterful young gentleman he looked, and one accustomed to having his owa way In the world, whether in love or war. True type of the British sailor, he had the physique ot a strong man and tho adveotaroosr cheerful JXbt JktorotbJta face, and band.xUT tin tea witri exposure, his uarK hair and the curved eyelashes, which drooped ' over his blue eyes, no less than the ar- ' tistic proclivities suggested by his well j chisled features and long, tapering fin-' gers, proclaimed that Stanhope, not- j withstanding his Saxon surname and ; bluff bearing, was a Celt. His mother, J ,a 1 II' . iitworuieu m ornwuii, in local society. One may ask, "Why should a youth of good birth and social position be on such terms of easy familiarity with two girls,one of whom was the daugh ter of a lighthouse keeper and the other her sister by adoption?" Indeed a great many people did ask this pertinent question. Among others, Lady Margaret Stanhope put it often and pointedly to her son without any cogent answer being forthcoming. If she were denied enlightenment, al though her maternal anxiety was justi fiable,: the smokers on the pier, as rep resenting the wider gossip of the town, may also be left unsatisfied. "This is a nice thing," he cried when he came within speaking distance of the girl in the boat. "I manage to bam boozle the admiral out of three days' leave and I rush to. Penzance to be told that Constance and you are off to the Gulf Rock for the day. It is too bad of you, Enid." Eyebrows were raised and silent winks exchanged among the human sparrows lining the rails. "So Master Jack came to see Miss Trevillion, eh? Wliat would her lady ship say if she heard that?" "Why not come with us?" The au dacity of her! "By Jove," he agreed, "that would be jolly. Look here. Wait two minutes until I scribble. a line to the mater" "Nothing of the sort, Jack," inter posed the other girl quietly, taking from his arm the waterproof cloaks he was carrying for her. "You know Lady Margaret would be very angry, and with very good reason. Moreover, dad would be annoyed toO" "The old girl is going out this after noon," he protested. 'And she expects you to go with her. Now, Jack, don't let us quarrel before we have met for five minutes. We will see you tomorrow." He helped her down the stone steps. "Enid," he murmured, "Connie and you must .promise to drive with me to Morvah in the morning. I will call for you at 11 sharp." "What a pity you can't sail out to the rock with us today! Tomorvah is so distant" The minx lifted her blue eyes to his with such ingenuous regret in them that Stanhope laughed, and pipes were shifted to permit the listeners aboye their heads to snigger approval of hei quip. "Dad will wig us enough as It is, Enid," said the other girl. "We are bringing him a peace offering of the fruits of the earth. Jack." "Will you be able to land?" "One never can tell. It all depends on the state of the sea near the rock. "Tomorvah is so distant." Anyhow, we can have a chat and send up the vegetables by the derrick." "We'm never get there thiccy tide if we'm stop here much longer," inter rupted Ben. "Hello, old grampus! How are you? Mind you keep these young ladies off the stones." "And mind you keep your tin pot off the stones," growled Pollard. "They was a-sayin' larst night her were aground at Portsea." ."The;.- s:::d right. Father Ben. That i:5 why I am here." Enia ;vnced at him with ready anx iety. 'Ihei- was nothing of the flirt in her now. "I lir you had no mishap," she said, ' Connie muteiy echoed the in quiry. Both girls knew well what a serious thing it was for a youngster to run his first boat ashore. "Don't look so glum," he chuckled. "I am all right Got a bit of kudos out of it, really.

"It sounds unconvincing," said Con stance. "You must supply details to morrow. EuiJI. that horrid pun of yours ruins the word." "Are we r.lso to supply luncheon?" chimed in Enid. "perish the thought. I have lived on l Eandvv-icls ;:ud bottled beer for a wecli. There! Cff you go." He gave tlie -boat a vigorous push and stood for a Uttla while at tie foot of tho steps, ostensibly to light a cicjar. lie watched Constance shipping the rudder while Enid hoisted the sail and old Ben plied a pair of oars to carry the boat into the fair way of the chan nel. They naaroj the harbor lighthouse. ; TJle ur0Wn sail filled and the Daisy Then she sped round the end of the solid pier and van ished, whereupon Lieutenant Stanhope walked Slowly to the promenade, whence he could see the diminishing speck of canvas on the shining sea un til it was hidden by Clement's island. At last the devotees of twist and shag, resting their tired arms on the railing, were able to exchange com ments. "Brace o' fine gells, them," observed the acknowledged leader, a broken down "captain" of a mine abandoned soon after his birth. "Fine," agreed his nearest henchman. Then, catching the gloom of the cap tain's gaze after Stanhope's retreating figure, he added: "But what does that young spark want, turning their ' pretty heads for them, I should like to know?" "They didn't seem partie'lar stuck on 'im,'? ventured another. "The ways of women is curious," pronounced the oracle. "I once knew a gell" ' But his personal reminiscences were not of value. More to the point was the garbled, but, in the main, accurate account he gave of the rescue of an unknown child by one of the keepers of the Gulf Rock lighthouse on a June morning eighteen years earlier. Stephen Brand was the name of the man, and there was a bit of mystery about him too. They all knew that a light keeper earned a matter of 70 to f SO a year not enough to maintain a daughter and an adopted child in slap up style, was it? A small villa they lived in, and a governess they had, and ponies to ride when they were big enough. The thing was ridiculous, wasn't it? Everybody agreed that it was. People said Brand was a swell. Well, that might or might not be true. The speaker did not think much of him. He was a quiet, unsociable chap, though Jones, a Trinity pensioner, who kept the "Pilchard and Seine" now, wouldn't hear a wrong word about him and always called him "cap'n." A pretty sort of a captain! But, then, they all knew what an old slow coach Jones was. They did. Jones' pints were retailed on the premises for mon ey down. Then there was Spence, lame Jim, who lived at Marazion. He told a fine tale about a fight with a shark before Brand reached the boat in which was the blessed baby that very girl, Enid, they had just seen. Was It true? How could he say? There was a lot about it at the time in the local papers, but just then his own mind was given to thoughts of enlisting, as a British ex pedition was marching across the des ert to relieve Khartum, and cause Gor don's death. No, Brand and the two girls had not dwelt all the time in Penzance. The light keepers went all over the king dom, you know, but he had hit upon some sort of fog signal fad Brand was always a man of fads; he once told the speaker that all the Polwena mine wanted was work and the Gulf Rock was the best place for trying it. At his own request the Trinity people sent him back there two years ago. Some folk had queer tastes, hadn't they? And talking so much had made him dry Then the conversation languished, as the only obvious remark of any im portance was not forthcoming. Meanwhile the Daisy sped buoyantly toward the southwest. Although she was broad In beam and stanch from thwart to keel, it was no light under taking to run fourteen miles out and home in such a craft But old Ben Pollard knew what ho was about. Not until the granite pil lar of the distant Gulf Rock opened up beyond Carn uu was it necessary to turn the boat's head seaward. Even then, by steering close to the Runnel stone, they need not during two-thirds of the time, be more than a mile or eo distant from one of the many creeks in which they could secure shel ter in case of a sudden change in the weather. Thenceforward there was nothing for it but a straight run of six miles to the rock, behind which lay the Scilly isles, forty miles away, and well be low the boat's horizon. So, when the moment came for the final decision to be made, Pollard cast an anxious eye at a great bank of cloud mounting high in the north. There was an ominous drop in the temperature too. The rain he antici pated might torn to snow, and snow Is own brother to fog at sea, though both are generally, absent from the Cornish littoral in winter. "Ben," cried Enid, breaking off a vivid if merciless description of a new disciple who had joined the artistic coterie at Newiyn, "what are you look ing atr He scratched bis bead aod gaaed fixedly at the white battattooa weep ing u aeffua coooaest arts tie land. "fihejdejook Ilka aria w. aadmlttto. "Well, what does that ier5" Without waiting for orders,' Con stance had eased the helm a trifle. The Daisy was now fairly headed for the rock. With this breeze she would be there in less than an hour. "It be a bit risky," grumbled Ben. "We will be alongside the lighthouse before there can be any serious down fall," said practical Constance. "Sure ly we can make the land again no mat ter how thick the weather may be." Ben allowed himself to be persuaded. In after life he would never admit that they were free agents at that moment . "It had to. be." he would say. "It wur in me mind to argy wi' she, but I just couldn't An' how often do us zee snaw in Caruwall? Not once in a blue,--7 moon." And who would dispute him No west country man, certainly. " At a distance of five miles one small fishing craft is as like another as two .lilliputians to the eye of Gulliver. In a word, it needs acquaintance and nearness to distinguish them. As it happened, Stephen. Brand did happen to note the Daisy and the course she was shaping. Rut, during the short interval when his telescope might have revealed to him the iden tity of her occupants, he was suddenly called by t'phone from the oil room to the kitchen. When next he ran aloft in a wild hurry to signal for assistance, he found, to his despair, that the Land's End was already blotted out in a swirling snowstorm, and the great plain of blue sea had shrunk to a lead en patch whose visible limits made the reef look large by comparison. With the mechanical precision of habit he set the big bell in motion. Its heavy" boom came fitfully through the pelting snowflakes to the ears of the two girls and old Ben. The latter, mas ter of the situation now, announced his intention to 'bout ship and make for Mount's bay. . "'Ee doan ketch me tryin' to sail close to Gulf Rock when 'ee can't zee a boat's length ahead," he said emphatic ally. "I, be sorry, ladies both, but 'ee knaw how the tide runs oyer the reef, an'.'tes easy vto drive to the wrong side of the light. We'm try again tomor row. On'y the flowers '11 spile. All the rest" Crash! A loud explosion burst forth from the dense heights of the storm. The Daisy, sturdy as- she , was, seemed to shiver. The very air trembled with the din. Pollard had his band on the sail to swing it to starboard when Con stance put the tiller , over to bring the boat?s head up against the wind. For an instant he hesitated. , Even he, vers ed in the ways of the se."., was startled. Both girls positively jumped, the sud den bang of the rocket was so unex pected. . "Mr. Brand must ha' zeed us," pro nounced Ben. "That's a warnin' to we -to go back." 4 The words hady scarce left his lips when another report smote the great silence, otherwise unbroken save by the quiet plash of the sqj. against the bows and the faint reverberations of the distant bell. ' "That is too urgent to be intended for us," said Constance. "We were just halfway when the snow com menced." "I did not notice any vessel near the rock," cried Enid tremulously. "Did you, Ben?" Pollard's slow utterance was not quick enough. Before he could an swer a third rocket thundered Its over powering summons. "That is the 'help wanted signal," cried Constance. "Ben, there Is no question now of going back. We must keep our present course for twenty minutes at least and then take to the oars. The bell will guide us." "Oh, yes, Ben," agreed Enid. "Some thing has gone wrong on the rock itself. I am quite sure there was no ship near enough to be in trouble already." "By gum. we'm zee what's the mat ter," growled Ben. "Steady it Is, Mis Brand. Ef we'm in trouble I'd as soon ha' you two gells aboard as any two men in Penzance." At another time the compliment would have earned him a torrent of . sarcasm. Now it passed unheeded. The sitr.tlon war? !?ilc1.ei-ing, alarm ing. There were three keepers in the lighthouse. The signal foreboded ill ness, sudden and serious illness. Who could it be? In such a crisis charity begins at home. Constance, with set face and shining eyes, Enid, flthed and on the verge of tears, feared lest their own beloved one should be the sufferer. To each of them Stephen Brand was equally a kind and devoted father. He never allowed Enid to feel that she was dependent on his bounty. Only the other day, when she hinted at the adoption of an art career as a future means of earning a livelihood, he ap proved of the necessary study, but laughed.at the reason.
