CHAPTER ".
Odd COMPANIONS.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fshermans
cabin. The man, though dashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the cleepers which hold a
vine in it's upward climb.
Young as it was, only a few weeks
old, the infant posse sed more vitality
than did lite aged protector. 1t
stretched forth its little hands and legs
with surprising strength and cried pitt
fully, though in voice that showed
that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for a moment
and stared blankly into the faces of
those directly in the line of his Wis
ion, and then closed them. He was
unconscious Of all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck.
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash of the beach. But
for the slow pulsation of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
those around him.
The women were running about as
busy as only women can be when they
are doing some great act of charity,
and their devotion was increased by
the fact that some dead mother g chi d
had fallen into their hands, and each
felt double responsibility on this &C.
count.
Some were bringing dry clothing
from the wardrobe of their own chill
dren, others were warming cows milk
in small basin on the stove, white a
more thoughtful mother was sharing
the breast of her own babe with the
little waif. And those good women
smiled with tears in their eyes as the
little stranger tugged greedily at its
new found mothers breast.
ooh, it will get along all right, "
said one.
"Yee, so long as it eats, the signs are
good" said another.
"Just SO you don't give it TOO much, "

watching the proceedings.

old gent" whispered one OF the women

ing room where the men were working
with the child's elderly companion.
The men were rubbing his arms and
legs, and irons were being heated to
place at his feet. Some brandy had
been forced through his lips, but it
was slow in showing encouraging
effects.
His eyes were fixed in his head, his
features were as pale as death. His
firm lips were set as il in his last con.
scious moment he had fixed his determ.
ination upon some given object.
He was little more than five feet
