gone, fercnance it was
his last sight of them in this life. Three
t;:iu'3 the stalwart framework creaked,
Once it moved so perceptibly that the
curtain rings jingled. Then he remem
bered the words of Isaiah: '
"For thou hast been a strength to the
poor, a strength to the needy in his dis
tress, a refuge from the storm, a shad
ow from the heat, when the blast of
the terrible ones is as a storm against
the wall." V
The blast of the terrible ones! What
a vivid pen picture of the awesome
forces of nature! How long would this
tornado continue? Already it must
have strewed its path with havoc at
sea and on land. His physical senses
were elevated to the supernatural. He
seemed to acquire abnormal powers of
Bight and hearing. He could see the
trees bending before the wrathful
wind, hear the crashing tiles and brick
work as houses were demolished and
people hurled to death. But there was
no ecstasy of soul, no mental altitude.
In quick reaction came the fanciful
memory of the hardy old salt who
cheered his shipmates during a ter
rific gale with the trite remark:
"I pity the poor folk ashore on a
night like this."
Wh;it a curious jumble of emotions
jostled in his brain. A step from the
sublime to the ridiculous! Not even a
step. They were inextricably inter
woven, the woof and the warp of
things. He recalled the odd expression
of an officer who had passed unscathed
through the inferno of Spion kop.
"I had no sense of fear," said he,
"but my teeth began to ache."
Brand, a student, even of himself,
discovered that his dominant sensation
was one of curiosity.
"If it has to be," said his nervous
system, "let it come quickly." He felt
like a man lying on the operating table
waiting for the chloroform.
Suddenly the bright flame of the
lamp lessened. The use that was Ma
second nature caused him to raise the
wicks and admit more draft. Even
while his deft fingers arranged the
complex burner his ear . caught a
change in the external din. The shriek
of the wind dropped to a thunderous
growl. This was a gale, not a tempest
God be praised, the crisis had passed!
The hurricane had. lasted thirtyfive
minutes. A similar tornado sufficed to
wreck one-half of the city of St. Louis.
This one, as he learned afterward,
swept around the south of Ireland,
created a tidal wave which did great
damage to the Scilly isles and the
headlands of the south coast, yet spent
Itself somewhere in the North sea.
Dwellers in Inland cities were amazed
and incredulous when the newspapers
spoke of its extraordinary violence. A
truth is harder to swallow than a lie
all the time.
Up clattered Enid with the steaming
beverage, Constance, the lantern bear
er, providing the rear guard.
"I do believe it is blowing worse than
ever," said Enid, striving desperately
to be unconcerned. In reality the an
gry wind was no longer able to behead
the waves. With a rising tide and the
gale assisting there would soon be a
sea worthy of Turner in his maddest
mood. -
"Good gracious, dad,"- cried Con
stance, "how pale you are! And yout
forehead is wet. What have you been
doing?"
Brand hastily mopped his face with
a ban ".iye!::;?.
"During some of the heavy gusts,"
he explained, "I was compelled to
stand on the trimming stage. And the
micrometer valve required adjust
ment." "
She eyed him narrowly. The margin
of suspicion was wider.
"There is nothing else wrong?" she
asked.
He approached and kissed her ear.
"Since when did my little girl begin
to doubt me?" he said quietly.
Her eyes filled. Even the hint of a
reproach from him was intolerable.
For the life of her she could no longer
control the flood of terror which welled
up beyond restraint
"Forgive me, dad," she murmured,
"but I thought, and I still think, that
we were and are in a position of the
utmost peril. I can't help knowing
that it is high water about 2 o'clock.
It is now only a quarter to 1. The
worst is not over. Do you think I can
not read your dear face! Dad, If there
is danger don't send us away again."
Tears were streaming down her
white cheeks. Enid, holding the tray
in speechless bewilderment during this
outburst from her proud and. self re
liant sister, set it down on the writing
desk with a crash.
"Oh, dear." she walled, "I don't want
any cocoa if we're gug-gug-golmy to be
drowned!"
Certainly if Stephen Brand had lav
aglned two minutes earlier that lie was
about to laugh long and loudly In a gen
uine surrender to 'tin uncontrollable
spasm of mirth he would have feared
lest his wits were leaving him. Yet
he laughed now until his vision was
blurred. And the wonderful relief of
It! What a tonic after the ordeal he
had endured! . -j

A sea leaping to a height of 140 feet and
more, yet their father was treating the
incident as th merriest joke of many
a month. .
No better cure for their hysteria could
be contrived. Brand was obviously not
acting. The hearty pulsations of laugh
ter had restored his ruddy color. Evi
dently they were alarmed about noth
ing. "Here, Enid, drink your parting cup!"
he crici "Have no fear. It is only
the dochan doris before many another
feast" '
Feeling somewhat ashamed of them
selves, though .smiling very wistfully,
they obeyed him. He sipped his cocoa
! with real nonchalance. Another wave
turned a somersault over the lantern.
Brand's only anxiety was to blow at
the steaming liquid and cool it suffi
ciently. Yet was he watching them and ham
mering out the right course to adopt
He alone understood that to the novice
the amazing ordeal from which the
lighthouse had successfully emerged
was as naught compared with the
thunderous blows of the waves, the
astounding reverberations of the hollow
pillar, the continuous deluge of spray
striking the lantern, which the infuri
ated sea would inflict on them.
To urge any further effort to sleep
was folly. They must remain with him
and be comforted.
Being reasonable girls, of fine spirit
under conditions less benumbing, it

was better that they should grasp the
facts accurately. They would be timid,
of course, just as people are timid dur
ing their first attempt to walk 'twixt
rock and cataract at the falls of Niag
ara, but they would have confidence in
their guide and endure -the surrounding
pandemonium.
"Here's to you, Enid. Still we live,"
he cried, and drained his cup.-
"I sup-pup-pose so," she stammered.
"Better sup up your cocoa," said
Constance. "Now I am quits with you
for this afternoon."
"I'll tell you what" went on Brand
confidentially. "In that locker you will
find a couple of stout pilot coats. Put
them on. Aa I cannot persuade you to
leave me you must sit down, and it is
cold la here. Moreover, for the first
time in twenty-one years I will smoke
on duty. I have earned a little relaxa
tion of the law." -
Out of the corner of his eye he saw
that Constance, if not Enid, had not
missed the subtle hint in his words.
But she was quite normal again. She
gave no sign; helped her sister into the
heavy reefer, and made herself com
fortable in turn.
"Neither of you will ever regret to
night's experience when it is nicely
over," he said. "You are like a couple
of recruits in their first battle."
"I am sure" began Enid.
A huge wave, containing several hun
dred tons of water, smote the light
house and cavorted over their heads.
The house that was founded upon a
rock fell not but it shook through all
Its iron bound tiers, and the empty
cups danced on their saucers. "
Not another word could Enid utter.
She was paralyzed.
"That fellow arrived in the nick of
time to emphasize my remarks," said
Brand, lighting his pipe. "This is your
baptism of fire, if I may strain a meta
phor. But you are far better situated
than the 6oldier. He gets scared out
of his wits by big guns which are com
paratively harmless, and when he has
been well pounded for an hour or so
he advances quite blithely to meet the
almost silent hail of dangerous bullets.
So, you see, in his case, ignorance la
bliss." -
"Are we In bliss?" demanded Con
stance. "You have been. The lighthouse has
outfaced a hurricane such as has not
visited England before In my lifetime.
It Is over. The wind has dropped to a
No. 10 gale, and we have not lost even
a bit of skin to my knowledge. How

A heavy thud was followed by , a
deluge without They heard the water
pouring off the gallery.1 .V -"V-'--'
N Constance leaned forward, with
-fcands on knees. Her large eyes looked
inta his. - . ' . . v: -- . '
"This time. clad, you are not choosing
your words. she said. . .. ,
. "I ptn- sorry yo! shordcl thin that,"
was the reply. "I selected each phrase
with sispmlar care. Never be misled
by the apparent ease of a speaker. The
best impromptu is prepared before
!ia:i(l." ' ' ; ' .
"You dear old humbug," she cried. ' ;
Not.- t quiet dcadliness of the scene
which followed the, reappearance of
Enid and herself from their bedroom
was manifest to her. Enid, too, was
looking from one to the other in eager
striving to rrrasp the essentials of an
e!!soc!e rapidly grouping its details into
sequence. Brand kpew that if he par
ried his daughters' questioning they
would bo on their knees by his side
forthwith, and he wished to avoid any
further excitement.
"Please attend, both of you," he
growled, with mock severity. "I am
going to tell you something that will
console you."
His voice was drowned by some part
of the Atlantic whi ling over the lantern.
"This kind of thing does not go on
all the time,' he continued. "Other
wise we should have five hours of spas
modic conversation. As soon as the
tide rises sufficiently to gain an unin
terrupted run across the reef we will
have at least two hours of comparative
quiet. About 4 o'clock there will be a
second edition for an hour or so. I sup
pose that any suggestion of bed"
"Will be scouted," exclaimed Enid. -
"A nice pair of beauties you will be
In the morning," he grumbled artfully.
Not even Constance was proof
against this new burden of woe. She
glanced around. " : ;
"You say that" she cried, "knowing
that the nearest looking glass is yards
away." -
He pointed with his pipe. '
"In the second drawer of the desk
you will find a heliograph. It is only
a toy, but will justify me." "
They ran together and found the lit
tle circular mirror. The next wave
passed unheeded. Smiling, he went up
to the lamp. Even yet there was hope
they might go to bed when the respite
came. -
After much talk of disordered hair,
wan cheeks, rings round the eyes,
cracked lips and other outrageous de
fects which a pretty woman mourns
when divorced from her dressing table,
Constance called him. "
"Here Is a queer thing," she "" said.
"Have you heard any steamer hoot
ing?" . :"V
"No," he answered. Bending between
the two of them, he saw that the point
er of the aurlscope bore due southwest
though the last siren of which they had
any knowledge sounded from the op
posite direction. 7 - -! "
He picked up a little trumpet re
sembling the horn of a motor car.
"I use this for tests," he explained.
Its tiny vibrator quickly brought the
needle round toward his hand.
"It Is Improbable In the highest de
gree that any steamer is near enough
to affect the auriscope," he said. "On
a night like this they give the coast a
wide berth."
He quitted them again. The girls,
having nothing better to do, watched
the dial to see If any change occurred.
He heard them use the small trumpet
three times. Then Enid sang out:
. "Oh, do come, dad! It goes back to
the southwest regularly!"
He joined In the watch. The needle
was pointing north in obedience to the
sound waves created in the - room.
Suddeply it swung round nearly half
the circumference of the dial.'
"Hush!" he said. They listened in
tently, but the roar of wind and water
was too deafening. They could hear
naught else. He went to the south
west point of the glass dome,' but the
lantern was so blurred with rivulets of
water that he could see nothing 'save a
tawny vastnes where the light fell on
the flying spindrift
To make sure he tested the auriscope
again and with the same result
"A vessel is approaching from the
southwest" he announced gravely.
"Evidently she is whistling for help!
I hope she will not attempt to approach
too near the reef. I must have a look
out" .
He put on an oilskin coat and tied
the strings of a sou'wester firmly be
neath his chin.
The small door of the lantern opened
toward the bay, so he had no difficulty
In gaining the gallery. The girls
watched him forcing his way against
the wind until he was facing It and
gazing in the direction of the Scilly
isles.
"Perhaps some poor ship is in dan
ger, Connie," whispered Enid. "It
makes me feel quite selfish. Here was
I, thinking of nothing but my own
peril, yet that little machine there was
faithfully doing its duty."
' "It was not alone in its self aban
donment We shall never know, dear
est bow much father suffered when he
sent us off with a jest on his lips, I
am sure he thought the lantern would
be blown away."
- "And he with it! Oh, Connie!"
"Yes. He believed if that awful
thing took place while we were below
we might escape. I can see It all now.
I had the vaguest sort of suspicion,
but he hoodwinked me."
"Had we known we would not have
left him!" cried Enid passionately.
"Yes, we would. Think of him,
sticking .to his post Was it for us to
dlSObey?" . " .-.-.w.:-'.-

stood In silence for a little while,.

dimly distinguish Brand's figure. A

"Father would not remain there if it

"There i3 a big steamer heading this
way a liner, I fancy," he gasped, h:tif
choked with spray.- "I fear she is disa

pose her slwn is going constantly,

He ran to the room beneath. Flush

donned their oilskin coats and arrang

ried up the stairs he was carrying four
rockets. He noted their preparations.

If you have 125 loads of manure to spread and yon are eoing f o plant 25 acres'of corn or wheat,
or have a 25 acre meadow we will tell you how you can increase the value of your crop this year
from S4.00 to $8.00 per acre or mote than enough to pay for a spreader. We issue! a 48-page book
entitled "Practical .Experience With Barnyard Manures," which explains the whole situation.
Our Plan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed op by actual experiments extending over
a period of 18 years. To give you an idea of what this book contains, we show results of experi
ments made with various crops where 5 loads of manure were spread per acre by the old method,
and 5 loads by the new method, on corn ground. The latter sh?vs a eaia of 54.80 per acre. On
another field and in another state, it shows a gain of $5.60 per u.ve, aad oc a clover and timothr
meadow, a gain of $8.00 per acre.
This Book will be sent free to anyone writing us. It is worth $100.00 to yon, but it won't cost
