When consciousness came in the full flood, Cotton
found himself staggering toward the fire, with some
ones support. From the ickering circle of light
an angel came to meet him. She seemed thing born
of the wedding of radiance and shadows The white
OF her face ric-hued where the blood flushed the
cheek enhanced by the dusy masses of her hair.
Her lips were parted and her rounded chest and
fell palpably with her swift breathing Her eyes,

into his

vantageous encounter The human fotsam was far
beyond his grasp now: but an approaching surge
sweeping them in shOreward again would give him
his chance, the only chance for the recession in all
probability would carry them beyond help. He must
meet them feet forward as trained player meets and
falls upon football rolling toward him. thus he might

against the back-draft If he could not-well there
'ndterid nedfod bottles there bevond the
surf ANYHOW, and ocean lullaby would be the sure
cure for all seeplessness
Fortunately the coming wave was a broad hacked
one, on which the tangled figures rode in plain view

being which courage wakes in the courageous that

the young man, with rush and a leap he plunged
feet forward to the onset.

His heels sunk in the sand The surge spread stood

Cotton he set the muscles which had helped to

if all the might of the unbounded ocean was
straining to drag away his prize of lives. He set
his face gTi1nly toward the savage His chest

heart-throb sledged against his ribs, passed, and
found the bulldog grip unrelaxed. One more,

A sob of compressed breath burst from Cotton
Oh how good was the full, deep inhalation that fol-

CHAPTER III
The Death i'm the Buoy

Ime Death i'm the Buoy
uALF an hours sleep is hardly enough for a man
L who hasn't experienced untroubled uncon-
sclousness for five weeks Cotton struggled angrily
against the flask
Il don't want it, tell your Take it away! Take
1t to the deuce and go with it, will you? tell you
Oh-h-h-hl"
His voice tailed away into groan of disnay as he
opened his eyes Helga Johnston.
You must get up" she said firmly Swallow
some of this brandy
I'm sorry said Cotton penitently. Did I curse
you out? Please let sleep"
The girl quick-witted. I'VE want your help"
she said.
Cotton sat up. She had struck the right note
Docilely he took the brandy, and got to his feet
Haynes up and steaded him. Miss Johnston
and have lives to thank you for he said briefly.
You'd better get home. Some of the 1fe-savers will
help YOU"
mo, I'm all right" declared Cotton. Where's the
Miss Johnston saved? Let's have peep at him.
I'm physician"
Are your" said Haynes eagerly Then I want
you to look at of the men on the cliff,
you've finished with Helga's waif
Cotton looked around him, memory now aroused.
Professor Ravenden!" he said Il want to thank
him for getting OUT
He and Miss Ravenden have gone to the station"
said Hega, ito help care for the rescued men, The
Captain and the Mate have been washed in, dead
Oh" said Cotton blankly His mind still
blurred. He looked at his tightclutched left hand
and wondered if there something inside Cautiously
he opened it, looked, started, choked down
camaon and thrust the hand into the pocket of his
dripping trousers. Then he walked over to the man
whom Miss Johnston had saved
Some had stripped the life-preserver from the
castaway's body, and he lay sprawed upon the
ground Cotton noted the breadth and depth of the
chest, remarkable in small He swart,
swart obviously to be of Southern European
extraction in spite of the seas terrific battering
he apparently had escaped any serious injury, and
already had regained consciousness; but Colton's
surprise, kept his head buried in his arms. From
time to time a convulsive shudder through
him.
Seems to be kind of crazy-liIe" volunteered old
Johnston, who stood beside him. Begged me, with
his hands casped, help him out of the light of the
fire. first thing
How do you feel, my friend?" asked the young
DOCTOR bending over the survivor.
The lifted dark and haggard face "To
house! Take me to a house, l weesh to go inside!"
His voice was a mere wheeze of terror.
We'll get you house presently" Cotton assured
him, presenting the brandy flask to his lips. Can
you make out to climb that cliff"
up there? So plain to be see? No, mol" cried the
vehemently, rowing the dark heavens with his
eyes.
Cotton looked at him in perp1exity. The got
painfully his feet and cupped hand to his wndward
Il tink l have hear eet again" he whispered, and
shook like rag in the wind
What are you talking about?" asked Cotton.
'Somesing up zere," said the stranger, thrustng
both hands in uncouth and fearful gesture upward
and outward.
"Oh, you're not quite yourself yet" said Cotton.

motion as of a winged creature swooping-"I fear
an L jump into re waves" harsh tremor went
through his form and left him painting.
Some one must go with him to the station, said
Cotton.
Let me-" Helga Johnston volunteered
The stranger faced the girl, and advanced swift
step. 1t was a meeting of satyr and goddess, Sud-
denly the satyr himself the goddess feet and
kissed them. Startled she drew back.
Eet is you that safe mel" he cried, lifting wild and
adOring eyes to her. Il you just before all go
black You walk out to reach me-"
Come along, you" cried old Johnston, lifting him
to his feet. mo such heather gOinson for my
Helga. Not that think you know what you're doin', >,
he added.
You mustn't go along with him alone princess
said Haynes quickly. He seems to be insane"
Father will go along with me-, she replied; though
I'm sure the poor fellow would not hurt anyone. He
more frightened than dangerous"
As they led their outlandish charge away toward
the Sand Spit fe-Savng Station, Haynes called after
them Get into dry clothes you can
princess. Oh, and get me that chaps name and adj
dress and who he is
And charge it to your account" came back the
girls laughing tones. 4 will, petit Psre."
Haynes and Cotton climbed the height to see the
man of whom the former had spoken He lay at full
length the brow of the cliff Another of the wrecked
sailors and two lfe-savers stood over him. One of
the e-savers Cotton recognized the guard who had
to speak to Helga Johnston a hulking
handsome fellow named Serdholm from the Sand
Spit station. The other a quiet-looking young
fellow of the Blue Hill corps, Bruce by As
Haynes and Cotton approached, Bruce drew away
coat which spread over the PROSTATE figure, and
lifted his lantern.
He is dead, said Cotton at once.
YES" replied Haynes but see how he came by
his death"
Rolling over the body, he exposed a deep, broad
Cean-driven wound through the back. What do
you make of that? he asked.
Cotton examined it carefully Il don't make any
thing of it, he said frankly, Except that the poor
fellow never knew what struck him.
What did strike him?"
"A very large blade, sent home with tremendous
force, apparently
BY other person?'
Certainly not by himself and it doesn't
like accident. Was he washed ashore this way?'
''Supposng I told you that the left the ship,
alive and sound in the breechesbuoy and got here in
this condition"
1T isn't possible"
"Well, there's plenty of evidence to his arrival.
Now let's about his departure Were you aboard
when this man left the schooner" Haynes asked,
turning to of the two sailors at hand
Yes, sir Me an 'Darky' John after him.
We helped fasten him in.
"Who else there?'
The old man. an Buckley the Mate, an that
queer Dago feller."
