derstood, and run was made to the

half away. When finally reached the
fire was beyond control.
The south wing, children's dining
room and the kitchen were damaged
by smoke. All the school furniture
was saved, tho Engineer Balch and his
wife lost all their property.
Nineteen babies domiciled in the
south wing were removed safely.

For a few minutes they ran on without further
words. both staring ahead at the bright glow that
danced up and down in the sky. making the intervening
spars and rigging stand out sharply. The air was
fairly filed with the scream of whistles. and the
north wind drove the smoke in a cloud away from the
city.

Captain Morain hesitated. still ewing the man
before him suspiciously, doubtfully. Just then a
great tongue of flame shot up into the air and decided
the matter. We'll take a run down and look, any
way. - he said. Mind, l don't say I'm in on the deal.
A million dollars worth. did you saw"
The little man did not wait to answer: he skipped
off to the boat and had the moorings loosed by the
time the captain reached the float. The captain
himself wasted no time, now that he had decided to go.

wriggled into an exceptionally comfortable
position. Outside 4 cold. wet. north wind howled
Gismally and made the timbers of the vessel creak
noisly as they rubbed against each other; but the
cabin was tight. and no wind could penetrate to its
interior. The old waterman was very comfortable
and very drowsv; he smiled contentedly to himself at
the thought Of the long sleep before him.
When 4 violent pounding at the door informed him
that even on such 4 night his services were required,
he snuggled a little more comfortably in his cot and
swore that whoever it was might hammer till he was
tired and then 60 and get another launch.
More violently, more insiStently raincd the blows on
the door; the patron was not to be easily put off. and
the waterman wondered how long he would keep it up.
Ben. Benz" called a voice. high pitched and tremu-
lous. Ben, come on, hurry up. There's a fire.
hurry up"
Fire! At that word the old waterman forgot his
comforts, and sprang out of bed.
"Firel Where?" he called. slipping on his trousers.
He breathed hard as he partially dressed. for fire was the
one magic word to stir his old blood to a quicker flow.
He threw open the door, to find an understood
figure. bundled to the ears. standing before him; but
he gave it only a glance at first and looked anxiously
to the wharf where his own launches lay Then he
breathed 4 sigh OF relief: they. at least, were safe.
where the fire. he asked. turning iercely upon
the intruder. What did you lie to me for?"
80 help me. Ben, l didn't liel' piPed the little
man eagerly. Look, don't YOU seer" He pointed
in a southcrly direction. IT'S the Mail dock is afre,
and | run all the way here to tell YOU"
The Waterman looked as directed. There was a
redness in the sky: not a great blaze as vet. to be sure.
but a blaze. and one never could tell what a fire would
do when it once got 4 start on the waterfront, and
with such 4 wind as this, too.
But old Captain Morain was a wary man; had he
discovered the blaze for himself it would have been
different, but this man had not run a long distance
for the mere pleasure of calling his attention to a
bright light in the sky.
Yes, it's a fire" said the captain. there's no
doubt o that. But what about it, What's it to
me?" Without switching on the lights he proceeded
to invest himself with more clothing. for the wet wind
was nibbling at his bones.
Don't stand here talkin', Ben. /" pleaded the little
man. Don't you hear EN- screechin' for the tug
and all the bells in the town n ringin'. Get the
Flyer out, and lets be maxim down that way.
Don't you know there's near a million dollars worth o
silk piled up on the dock,'
Docs us no good" - said the captain discreetly. his
old eyes studying the little man as best he could in
the light from the arc lamp. What's the blasted
silk got to do with mel I'm no pirate" he concluded
sharply.

The smaller man did not wait for more, but with an
agility born of practice swung himself from the roof Of
the cabin TO the dock above and disappeared. In a
few minutes he was back again, calling down frCn
above. Then he threw down 4 small bale.
Wait" said Captain Moran. He took out a
knife and slit the cover, when a wealth of co!ored
softneSs bulgCd out of the opening. Though the cap
tain said nothing. a sudden CLEAN of avarice lighted
his eyes, ne gave one more glance that comprehended
every surrounding. then threw the bale into the cabin.
