point and walking TO the village from
there. They became bewildered in the
fog. lost their oars in the rough water
beyond the point and had drifted across
the bay over 10 the light.
They said their sister would not be

they had run away TO go TO the fire and
would suppose they had siaid 10 din

began TO grow weary CT these anuse-

At o'clock the fog was as thick as
ever. but the surf had subsided. and
the sea was comparatively smooth.
The boys and the two keepers were
out on the gallery arranging the last
pieces of red fire. Then Luther said
suddenly:
Listen! Either ! amt got over this

The boys wanted their sister to re

the fireworks. Abner certainly did moi
attempt to dlssuade her, and Luther
warmly advocated her remaining.
"The fogs llftin a leetle now" he
said. WYATT until by and by, and Ab'l

SO she decided to remain, and Mr.

no time in telling Miss Ainsworth OF
Abner's heroism in saving her broth
ers. He also kept discreetly out of the
way and insisted that the boys should
| be with him, thus leaving the young
couple alone.
The fog lifted after supper. and il
was time for the fireworks. The boys
and Luther were out on the gallery
The sea was shining smooth in the
starlight, and putting tug was com.
ing up the harbor.
Abner, with face shining with JOY
till 1t looked like full moon, rushed
up the stairs and grasped the head
keepers hand in mighty grip.
''It's al right, old man." he whisper

The tug had come abreast Of the light
house. Her skipper leaned out of the
pilothouse and hailed the keeper.

"No. What newsT'
"WEy. from Santiago! The Spaniards
tried Ter run out of the harbor yester-
Cay, and our feet sunk every blessed
ship Of 'em. We didn't lose a vessel
and only one man."
Mr.. Payne stood like a statue for a
moment Then he dashed into the light
house and returned with a kerosene
lamp. Knocking the chimney from the
latter, he applied the blazing wick to a
spot on the gallery rail. There was
sputter of fire, crackle. and the light
house burst into halo Of glory. Rock
cts whizzed from the windows. blue
lights, red lights and white lights
shone everywhere; fowerpots blossom
ed on the roof, and Roman candles
sent their stars upward.
"Great Scott" shrieked the astound-
ed tugboat captain. II thought you

II hadn't?' Luther was dancing like
a madman.
"Then how on earth did you happen
