and running brooks until the end came,
and still the little boat drifted on. Few
and short were the prayers the living
said as day by day they cast the dead
into the sea. Desborough, the ~resolute,
with undying strength kept steadily
at the helm. Once only did he speak
to Katharine in words Of love. AS
their situation grew more and more
helpless, and even his resolute opti-
mism began to fail him, he bent down
and whispered In her ear:
II would not trouble you now, Kath-
arine, but before we die / must tell you
once again that ! love you. Will you
believe it,"

DULY, giving him her hand. Oh. he
thought in agony, as he bent over II
and kissed It, how thin and white and
feeble it was!
One morning, after hope was dead, he
was listlessly scanning the line of the
horizon as the rising sun threw II into
relief, more from habit than expect
lncy, when his heart almost stopped Its
feeble beating, for land vas there be-
fore him II his strained eyes did not
deceive him. Doubling the evidence of
his weakened senses and fearing the

the news to Katharine, the %apathetic
woman told IL to the sinking colonel.
and then Desborough cried il to his dy-
ing crew. The wind sprang up at the
moment, too, and in a few hours they
beached the boat upon a low sandy
shore, with the waves breaking gently
over 1t in long easy rollers.
D~esborough, as the strongest of the
party, started inland, finding by and by
q little stream of fresh water, and far
ther on, on higher ground, seeing a
house, the smoke curling from its Chin
neys showing that II was inhabited. To
the bubbling spring he half led, half
dragged, his shipwrecked party. They
drank sparingly by his direction and
