CHAPTER II.

In the latter part of May, during a
violent and protracted northeast storm,
the hermaphrodite brig Fannie B., of
Liverpool, was cast upon the Barnegat
sands. not an eighth of mile from the
home of tho Kings. She had aboard a
number of passengers, several of whom
were drowned, but among the saved
were two, Il young mother and her child.
who were rescued by Janet King, or, to
give her the name that properly was
hers, Mrs Janet Rangely. The woman,
with her little daagnrer clasped in her
arms, essayed to reach the shore on a
hatch. in company with couple Of sail
ors who launched it after both the brig's
boats had been swamped and lost ln
Che surf the great unwieldy hatch was
tunbled over and over, whirled and
tossed about like q feather in cyclone,
so that all who were upon it were swept
off and engulfed in the roaring breakers.
One of the sailors never reappeared,
and the other was hurled ashore more
dead than alive seemingly. AS for the
woman, the tiger of the surf seemed to
play with her like a cat does with
mouse, one moment bearing her i'll as If
to leave her on the sand, the next carry
ing her out again IN wild swirl of the
white spume and froth of the angry sea.
Courageous Janet, standing on the
beach, saw her so being done to death, and
without a moments hesitation plunged
into the waves after her, seized her by
the hair and dragged her to land, uncon-
scious but alive, In all her struggles
with death the mother had not loosened
her hold upon the child, pretty little
golden blonde maid of two years or there
about. Both were resusoitated with
little difficulty and sheltered in the house
of David King.

ruI1ess unaU sne was rar from feeling
she kissed him good-by and he departed.
The fortnight passed, and more fort
nights after it, yet he returned not. And
no letter came from him. He certainly
should have written. Even if none of
the King family could read writing he
might have known they could get some
friend to tell them what was in his let
ter. That was what David King said
But Janet excused him.
He would not" she said, write a
letter to Inc for somebody else 20 read,
and SO long us he might not write to his
wife he would write to nobody"
But her heart was sore; she felt very
lonely and an indefnable anxiety dis
tresSed her.
