The cereli~uysr Ita2ls place at the
lovely country home of tic bti;aa< g

whole house was beautifully decor

softened lights Of many lamps made
the scene exceedingly lovely. In con

terror, tho whole outside world was
montled in the exquisite whiteness
of sleet, fringed Hiih icicles.
The bride had often expressed tho

Clad in pure white without olna,

looked lovlier than on this occasion.
The bride came iD leaning on the
arm of the groom, and in a few i'm
pressive words they were made one.
Immediately after the ceremony re
freshments of cake and wine were
served.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of MIR. w. S. Fleming of Honca
Path, and one of the best farmers oil
Anderson County. She ia a young
womaA possessed of many rare quail
tiles of truo womanhood. Her bright
and sunny disposition has made fol

The groom is tho youngest son o
Rev. j. II. Lewis of Pickens, and is
one. Of the best young men in thu
comfy. Ho has an ideal country
home ready for his bride, and in a
few weeks they will go TO house keep

On Friday the happy couple board

home of the groom's father, wher'
an elegant reception awaited them.
Tho number of uscfnl presents re

creek upon their left they would come
out directly upon the house.
A few minutes later Charlie held up
his hand, and the men halted. The
noise Of the creek chattering into the
tidewater Of the bay was plainly au-
dible just beyond. A ridge Of sand
covered thinly with sagebrush and a
faint column of smoke rose into the
air over the ridge itself. They were
close in. The coolies were halted, and
dropping upon their hands and knees.
the three leaders crawled to the top OF
the break. Sheltered by a couple of
sagebushes and lying fat to the
ground, Wilbur looked over and down
upon the beach. The first object he
made out was a crazy. rOofiess house.
built Of driftwOod, the chinks plaster
ed with adobe mud, the door fallen in
Beyond, on the beach, was a fat bot
toned dingey, unpainted and foul with
dirt But all around the house the
sand had been scooped and piled to
form low barricade, and behind this
barricade Wilbur saw the beachcomb-
ers. There were eight Of them. They
were alert and ready. their ha atchets
In their hands. The gaze of each Of
them was fixed directly upon the sand
break which sheltered the Bertha Mill
neFs officers and crew. They seemed
to Wilbur to look him straight in the
eye. They neither moved nor spoke.
The silence and absolute lack of mo-
tion on the part Of these small, half
naked Cinnamon. with their apelike
and twinkling eyes. were ON
inous.
There could be no longer any doubt |
that the beachcOmbers had known Of /
their enemies movements and were |
perfectly aware of their presence be- /
hind the sand break. Moran rose to
her feet. and Wilbur and Charlie fol
lowed her example.
"There's no use hiding" she said.
-They know we're here"
Charlie called up the crew. The two

the two beachcombers caught the flash
Of the points Of the spades. They halt
ed and glanced narrowly and suspi-
ciously at the group.
Beasts muttered Moran. "They
are up to the game. There's no sur
prising them now. Talk to him.
Charlie. See what he wants."
Moran, Wilbur and Charlie came
part Of the way toward Hoang and his
fellow and paused some fifteen feet
distant, and a long colloquy ensued.
1t soon became evident. however. that
I'm reality Hoang wanted nothing of
them, though with great earnestness
he asserted his willingness to charter
the Bertha AIillner back to San Fran
cisco.
THAT'S not his game at ALL" said
Moran to Wilbur in a low tone. her
eyes never leaving those Of the beach
comber "He's pretty sure he could
seize the Bertha and never pay US a
silver. They've come down to spy on
us. and they're doing it too. There's
no good trying to rush their camp now.
They'll so back and tell the crew that
we know their lay"
1t was still very dark. Near the
hulk of the beached Bertha Millner
were grouped her crew, each armed
with a long and lancelike cutting-in
spade, watching and listening to the
conference Of the chiefs. The moon.
almost down. had flushed blood red.
Violently streaking the gray, smooth
surface Of the bay with her reflection.
The tide was far out, ripping quietly
along the reaches of wet sand. In the
pauses of the conference the vast, muf-
fling silence shut down with the abb
ruptness Of a valve suddenly closed.
How it happened, just who made the |
first move, in precisely what manner |
the action had been planned or what |
led up to it Wilbur could not after !
ward satisfactorily explain. There |
was a rush forward-he remembered |
that much-a dull thudding Of feet
over the resounding beach surface, a
moments writhing struggle with a
half naked brown figure that used
knife and nail and tooth, and then the
silence again, broken only by
the sound of their own painting. In
that whirl of swift action Wilbur
could reconstruct but two brief pic
tures-the Chinaman, .Hoang's COM
panion, flying like one ! bssessed along
the shore; Hoang himself flung head
long into the arms of the Bertha's
coolies, and Moran, her eyes blazing,
ler thick braids flying brandishing
ler fist as she shouted at the top of
ler deep voice, We've got you, any

did not exactly know, and, even If I'M
fair means had been used, he could
not repress a feeling Of delight and
satisfaction as he told himself that in
the very beginning Of the fight that
was to follow he and his mates had
gained the first advantage.
As the action of that nights events
became more and more accelerated VIII
bur could not but notice the change in
Moran. 1t was very evident that the
old Morse fighting blood of her was all
astir-brutal merciless, savage beyond
all control A sort of obsession seized
upon her at the near approach of bat
tie, frenzy of action that was check
ed by nothing, that was insensible to
all restraint. At times it was impossi-
BILE for him to make her hear him, or
when she heard to understand what he
was saying. Her vision contracted. 1t
was evident that she could not see dis
tinetly. Wilbur could no longer con- !
ceive Of her as a woman of the days
of civilization. She was lapsing back
to the eighth century again-to the
vikings, the sea wolves, the berserk-
ers.
"Now you're going to talkP' she cried
to Hoang as the bound Chinaman sat
upon the beach, leaning his back against
the great skull. Charlie, ask him if
they saved the ambergris when the
junk went down-if they've got It
now" Charlie put the question in
but the beachcomber only
twinkled his vicious eyes upon them
and held his peace. With the full
sweep Of her arm, her fist clinched till /
the knuckles whitened, Moran struck
him in the face.
Now will you talk?" she cried. Ho-
ang wiped the blood from his face upon
his shoulder and set his jaws. He did
not answer.
You viii talk before I'm done with
you. my friend Don't get any wrong
