tr both sensible people. I cnn hardly
imapine tbr.t any misunderstanding
can exist after an hour's talk,"; .
; Mr. Traill looked at his watch. 'A
carriage stopped at the hotel.
'; "Here's, Stanhope and hist mother,"
cried Tyne. So his unch hurried off
to receive his guests.
Z Lady Margaret was a well preserved
woman of aristocratic pose, but her
. serenity was disturbed. Although the
' land was ringing with the fame of her,
ao's exploit, and her mother's heart
was throbbing with,' pride; there, had:
boon . tearful hours of . vigil j for her.
;Kot without a struggle had she aban
doned her hopa that he would make-a
.Iwell endowed match. . '
1 When Constance and Enid arrived
ish? was very stately and dignified,'
Scrutinizing, with all a mother's incre-
dulity. the girl who had caused her to
capitulate: , ;: '" -:- , '
y Biit Enid' scored a prompt . success.
She swept aside the almost unconscious
'reserve 'with which Jack's ,, mother
greeted her. - :
l: - "You knew,", she murmured wistful
ly. "We did not. They would not tell
"Us. i How you must have suffered until
: the news came that he had escaped."
; Lady Margaret drew the timid girl
Hearer and kissed her,
"My dear," she whispered, "I am be
ginning to understand why Jack loves
. you. Ho is my only san, but you are
worthy him."
Mrs. Vansittsrt's appearance created
a timely diversion. She had obtained:
a black lace dress. It accentuated the
settled pa Hon of her face but she was
'perfectly self possessed and uttered a
nice womanly compliment to the two
girls, who wore white demitoilet cosh
tumes. ,; "''
"You look delightful," she said.
: "When all is said and done we women
should never despise our wardrobe.
That ; marvelous lighthouse , had one
grave defect in my f eyes. It was
dreadfully callous to feminine require
ments." ( Here Was a woman rejuvenated, re
stored to ' her natural surroundings.
They accounted for the subtle change
In her by the fact that they had seen
her hitherto under unfavorable condi
tions. Even Pyne, not wholly pleased
with her in. the past, found his critical
judgment yielding when she apologized
sweetly " to 'Lady Margaret .. for her
tardiness.
"There wera two children saved from
the wreck. Poor little mites, how they
reveled In a hot bath? I could not.
leave them until they were asleep." . - J
"I needed twp Jiot baths," said Pyne.
"No. 1 dug me out of the shell, and No.
2 helped me to recognize myself."
During dinner there was much to tell
end to henr, Mrs. Vansittart said litt
tie, save to interpose a word now 'and
then when Constance or Enid would
have skimmed too lightly the record
of their own services. ; ; .
, They did not hurry over the meaL
All were in the best possible spirits,
and the miseries of the Gulf Rock
might never have existed for this lively
company were it not that -four among
them bore clear tokens of the depriva
tions they hsd endured, r ,
A waiter interrupted their joyous
chatter at its highest. He bent over
Mr. Traill and discreetly conveyed
some communication.
"I am delighted," cried the million
aire heartily. "Show him in at once."
He rose from his chair to do honor
to an unexpected guest.
"You will all be pleased to hear," he
explained, "that Mr. Brand Is .ashore
and has come to see us." ,
Mrs. Vansittart stifled the cry on her
lips.;; The slight color which had crept
Into her pale cheeks yielded to a death
ly v hue. It chanced that the others
weri looking expectantly toward the
door and did not notice her.
Brand entered. In acknowledging
Mr. Traill's cordial welcome he smil
ingly explained his presence. ,
"My superiors sent me emphatic or
ders to clear out," he said, "so I had
no option but to obey. I conveyed Mr.
Emmett to suitable quarters and has
tened home, but found that the girls
.were playing truant My housekeeper
Insisted that I should eat, else she
would not be satisfied that I still lived,
but I came here as quickly as possi
ble." - - - ,.- -?,v;-'S
At that instant his glance, traveling
from one to another of those present,
fell on Mrs. Vansittart . -
He stood as one pe trifled. , The kind

glee of the' girl at bis appearance,
bled away In his ears ta hollow edwes.

nation. '- They were fixed on Mrs. Yan
sittart's face- with- an all absorbing in
tensity, and his set lips and clinched
hands 'showed how' utterly irresistible
was the knowledge that indeed he was
not deceived: that be was gazing at a
living, breathmg personality' and not
at some phantom product of a sur
charged brain.

She managed to gam "her feet The1

her and at Brand with amazed anxiety

effort. " " ' ' v .t
1 "Mr. Stephen Brand and I are old
acquaintances' she gasped. i"He mayi
misunderstand my presence here to
