A SALT WATER MIRACLE.

What's the matter with me?" was the
immediate rejoinder.
I'VE haven't much time to discuss the
question: said Steve. odd or even?''
He thrust some coins into my hand.
"Odd!' said Frank, as he put his helm
hard a-lee.
1 subsided into the bottom Of the boat
and counted the coins. There were six of
them: and I SO declared.
That settles It," remarked Steve, with
infinite satisfaction. Il take the rowboat
back"

We were flying down toward the rowboat
again; but this time Frank took more lee

manship. She tried to help US; and every

headway enough. but Miss Woodward
thought that We weren't going to fetch her
So she suddenly seized the oars, which were
still In the rowlocks. and took an amazingly
strong. stroke backward. Frank put his
helm over, but he was not quick enough.
just as We rose on a sea, the port quarter
of the rowboat hit us shuddering thump
under the starboard bow.
Steve. who had tried to fend her, grabbed
her by the rail. and hauled her along the
weather side of us. Instantly Miss Wood
ward scrambled aboard the Laura.
''0h. Walter Stevens!'' she exclaimed

on the shore? OF course 1t was. 1 went out

Yet I was not SO desolatc as he had been
for there were those who could hear my
voice though they could not help me.
We lay along the rock, and discussed one
slender chance of rescue-Alice might be
missed, and a searching party might be
sent out. On the other hand, she told us
that her absence would probably not be
noticed till morning, as she had gone to her
room with the declared intention of re-
naming there.
A single cons liberation was enough to de-
stroy our hope of assistance on her ac-
count. Her absence would have been dis
covered much earlier in the evening" If at
ALL and the searching party would be al
ready embarked upon the bay carrying so
many and SO bright lights that we could
not fail to see them. Yet not single
gleam could wepercefve. Darkness was all
around us like q wall, We could not even
make out the lighthouse on the lower end
of Ogden's Island, though on an ordinary
night 1t should have been plainly visible
The same argument proved to us that
steve had not succeeded in reaching the is
land. The squali must have blown him off
shore. If he had crossed the bay and land
ed on the head Of the cape, 1t would be
mosnfng before he could get a searching
party under way. The situation was utter
ly hopeless. and we did not pretend to re-
gard 1t In any other light.

wind flung the spray of it into my face.
l heard voice right beside me-a gasp

boat. She'll float you.''
1t was Shirley's voice. He had risen
from the depths, and not alone He still
held Miss Woodward by the shoulder as
had seen him clutch her when the squall
struck us. She was not frantic with fear
nor did she struggle and exhaust herself
as women are supposed to do in such emer-
gencies. Shirley seemed to be suffering
more, both from excitement and exhaus-
ton, than she.
Before they had fairly gotten hold of the
boat, l saw Harry Mason swimming and
cried out to him. He padded up to the
boat leisurely, it seemed to me. He was
on the leeward side and for a minute or
more he kept clear of the boat, swimming
backward as she drifted on, and sheltered
by her from the breaking sea.
will she float us all, Frank?' he asked
calmly enough.
Yes was the answer: 1.-The air tanks
will carry us. Get hold here"
When the next wave swept us toward
him, Harry flung his arm across the boat's s
keel near the bow, and clung there. 1 was
next to him. Miss Woodward was between
Shirley and me.
At first We hoped that Steve might come
to our relief, and we wasted our scanty
breath In shouting, but the wind by this
time was blowing so hard that the sound
or human voice was aSSimilated into il

and inarticulate. We soon gave up all idea
