perceiving that he did not like to hear
Barbados alluded to as Il one horse
colony.
What was he to do? Was he to wait
for another fortnight-he should have
returned from Jamaica by that time
before receiving his answer from Ell
lice?
What else was he to do? He said
some further very nasty things re-
garding the island and its o%verzealous
health office; but, after all, this did not
help him to see more clearly what
course of action he should adopt. He
walked slowly through the binding
white streets, through the dense mass
es of grinning negroes, to the Bridge
town club, and, standing gloomily at
one of the windows which command a
view of the harbor. he rested his hand
On a large brass telescope on a tripod
stand which was there evidently to en-
able visitors to adopt the only alterna-
tive to a visit to the guaranteed ship,
the alternative which had been sug-
gested to him by the mail company's
official.
In an instant he had adjusted the
, 1905-02-15

of a moment Godfrey sprang from his
place in the stern sheets and made for
the nearer boatman with the rudder
yoke. With a yell both men covered
under the gunwale till their combined
weight at the same side almost caused
the frail craft to be swamped. Geof-
frey saw this and knew that his mo-
ment had come. He threw all his
weight upon the same gunwale, and in
another second the boat was swamped
and he was in the water, striking out
vigorously for the hand rail of the
steamer which was flying the yellow
flag. He thought he might safely leave
the boatmen to look after themselves,
which they did. They swan like fishes
and set about righting their boat with
easy confidence.
CHANGING at the Amazon, he saw that
the lower deck was crowded. Men
were standing by II of the boats
ready to lower it, and there-there at
the foot of the hand rail stood Ellice
Townley alone. She had descended
even before the fourth officer could get
down and stood there pale and eager.
He noted with delight her paleness and
her eagerness, and then he saw two
men running down the steps, one with
a life buoy, the other with a boat hook.
They paused at the foot. They saw
that he was all right.
And so he was. He swan to the plat
form of the ladder and, waiting his OPP
portunity, scrambled up on the graf
ing, the water streaming off him III
rivulets.
He squeezed the water from his hair
and laughed, facing her.
She did not laugh. She put out a
hand to him.
"Geoffrey," she said in a low voice,
husky with emotion, you are safe,
you are safe, thank God! If you had
been drowned | should have died"
He still held her hand and looked
into her face. Then he gave another
laugh.
"Oh, I'm all right" he said. CLUMSY
r%ascals, those boatmen. Let us get on
deck; | feel like a drowned rat" Then
he turned to the officer a step or two
up the rail. saying, Il suppose may
go on deck without infringing the reg
ulations of the yellow flag"
The officer laughed, an entirely unof-
fetal laugh, and led the way up to the
crowd of congratulatory faces on the
deck.
q Il
1t was in a duck suit borrowed from
Major Norman that Godfrey half an
hour afterward heard Ellice say-they
We're alone in the saloon-"I did not
know it until that moment when saw
you struggling in the water, drowning
as l thought for a horrible
but then l knew knew the truth
knew what was in my heart, what Is
still in my heart. Oh, Godfrey, l 90
believe it was always there"

instrument and was focusing it upon
the Amazon. 1t was a powerful tele-
scope, he found out by bitter expert
ence, for at the end of the tube he per-
ceived as distinctly as though they had
been ten yards away two figures stand
ing, looking over the bulwarks. The
one was Ellice Townley; the other was
Major Norman.
There they were, just as he had seen
them last, only now she was talking
to Major Norman, full of animation.
Godfrey had never been beside her
when she had that look upon her face.
She was listening, absolutely listening
with interest, to the stuff hat that
bounder Norman was pouring into her
ear. In another instant he saw that
Major Norman was smiling, actually
smiling. while he looked into her face,
and t~hen-great heayens.-she was ac-
tually smiling in response!
He could stand it no longer. He
picked up his hat and ran down the
steps of the clubhouse, knocking down
a negro waiter who had the imperti-
hence to be ascending at that moment.
He FASTENED down to the quay side
and, without making any preliminary
contract, got into a boat and told the
~grinning crew of two men to put him
aboard the Humber. The Humber was
the name of the steamer in which he
had Travelled from Trinidad, and it
was lying about two cable lengths be-
You'd the Amazon. They took the oars
with alacrity. and it was not until the
boat was we'll outside the concrete
blocks of the breakwater that he be-
came aware of the fact that he was
aboard the smallest and the worst of
all the wretched craft in the harbor.
1t was as crank as Il "dugout' aid as
frail. Once or twice he feared that he
should neyer reach the side of the
steamer for which he was steering,
and the name of which was the ANA
zon.
When by dint of careful manipula-
ton of oars and rudder he found him
self unde the quarter of the steamer
flying the yellow quarantine flag. he
looked up to the spar deck. There they
were still. only seated now and with
their backs turned to him, and-yes,
there could be no doubt about 1.-THE
two deck chairs We're closer together
than ever; as Il matter of fact. they
could not have been closer without
overlapping.
He hailed them from below. but Il
seemed that they We're so engrossed in
their conversation as to be Incapable
of paying any attention to him. He
TAILED them again. The fourth officer
at the head of the hand rail- sternly
warned off his boat. His boatmen
were becoming nasty. They reminded
him that their contract was to put
him aboard the Humber, and this con-
tract they meant to perform. He had
said nothing about fooling round n
steamer flying the yellow flag. They
had wives and families. He got
righteously angry and shouted back at
them to lie on their oars. They made
a gesture that was full of in~solence
and began to row once more. The
boat was drifting past the Amazon
when under the force of the inspiration

aboard. Having had, however, SOME
previous experience of the barbarian
Barhadian boatmen. he Thought II bet
ter to make certain before concluding
TO accept any of the kind offers. lie
left the men clamoring on the Drldge
and FASTENED down to the mail packet
office. There he learned that the
steamer would not be in for at least
another hour. He felt it very hard 10
have to return to breakfast at his no
tel.
When he next got back to the beach
he had his binoculars in his hand, and
by their aid he had no difficulty in dis
covering the stately form of the ANA
ZOn swinging at anchor in the bay.
Fastening back to the quay side to get
a boat, he met an official of II mail
packet company who wore il grave
face. but not nearly so grave as was
Geoffrey's own when be was quietly
Informed that the newly arrived Anna
zon was flying the yellow flag, having
been at Martinique, where a case of
yellow fever had been reported.
"What does this mean?" he inquired.
1T means that no one here will be
permitted to go aboard and return to
the island" said the official.
Godfrey was dumb. The Amazon
was in quarantine for the day, and in
the afternoon the steamer which was
to take him to Jamaica would leave
the anchorage.
The terrible truth was forced upon
him in a moment: it would be impossi-
BILE for him to have the interview with
Ellice TO which he was looking for
ward-which had sustained him
through the trying fortnight of their
separation.
WAS there ever Il more ridiculous
system than this of the quarantine?'
he inquired of the official. "Ihe stu
pidity of it! The antiquity of it! The
barbarity of it"
The official shook his head. 1t was
Il great nuisance, he admitted, but
there was nothing for it but to sub
nit.

Heavens above. The whole affair is

will submit to the ridiculous red tape

The official shrugged his shoulders
and smiled gently, irritatingly.
You may see them as much as you
please said he, but it will have to
be through a telescope. Red tape or
yellow bunting. any color you please,
will be sufficient to prevent your hav-
ing any communication with the ship
that is in quarantine"

BEAUTIFUL WILDWOOD
By an Old Citizen
vkTILDWOOD, thou gem of all the coast,
Why should we not of your beauties boas

WILDWOOD, thou gem of all the coast,
w Why should we not of your beauties boast;
For where in this wide world are such charms as these
The ocean, the woodland, the flowers and trees.
Where the weakly may come and regain their good health,
Where those with little may come and gain wealth,
Where pleasure and profit are sure to abide,
IT'S in beautiful Wildwood by the wild ocean side.
Where fishing and grabbing and cunning are fine;
If you're fond of such sports you will fall in the line,
And with baskets O. erhowing you re sure to come home,
And from beautiful Wildwood you vii. not care to roam.
If of bathing you're fond you will find with delight
You can battle in the morning and as well, too, at night
For so safe is the beach and SO gentle the slant
You may plunge in the breakers but get drowned you can't.
If to sail you enjoy you can go without fear,
For there is plenty of boats at the lake and the pier.
If to Wildwood you come you will not regret,
And the pleasures you see you will never forget.
A stroll in the park meath the trees and mid flowers,
Where the spreading grape vine forms deep shady bowers,
Reminds one of dreamland SO bright and SO fair;
If you once visit Wildwood you re sure to stay there.
Our people are friendly and our Mayor so kind,
And the equal of our Board of Trade is very hard to find,
And with all of these advantages we all should happy be
Who live in dear old Wildwood by the wide rolling sea.
