him coming and went into the saloon.

mat the men had been in Reilly's ga

was owned - a man named Olson,

had lost his at the scene of the hold

would make the trip to Worthing after
all.

you keep STILL"
The swimmer rose on the crest Of a
long green swell, travelling s~horeward.
A terrible explosion had occurred In
the engine room of the Spray. She
had sunk in less than fifteen minutes,
with her return journey but half &C
complished. There had been no panic,
but her two boats were filed to the
very gunwales with their human
freight. Six men were venturing to
swim to meet the boats, putting off
from the shore. Godfrey Mannering
was n Of them. He had assured
Verna of his ability to save her if she
would trust herself to him rather than
to the overladen boats.
Verna kept perfectly still. Her feet
trailing in the water gave her a terri
flying sensation as of floating upon in
finite depth.
The strong frame of the swimmer
supporting her moved forward with
its steady strokes. How calm he SEEM
ed; how confident! At hat moment she
loved him most: yet at that moment
she knew that she might never be
his.
On the return Journey to Brighton,
Godfrey had told her all: had made
his confession. He had said: 81 love
you; loved you from the day that we
met. THAT is all my defence"
There had been a long and dreadful
pause, while she wrestled with her
pain, with her temptation. Then she
had answered: 1--WE must say goodbye.
We must never meet again. When we
land, we must shake hands for the last
time. You could not help loving me
any more than | could help loving you.
Yes, l love you; but this is a barrier
which we cannot overcome"
And then, almost Immediately after

sea was very cold; the warm suns of
summer had not yet penetrated its
chilly bosom. He was becoming stiff

Greater Bravery Shown By the
Smaller Animal.

The owner of a one-ring circus trav-
cling through the West this summer
found himself in lore straits through
the death of a much advertised lion
which was the star attraction of the
show. With a fertility born of ne
cessity he advertised in the nearby
papers for a brave man." A good.
strapping Irisnman applied for the po-
sition.
"My pet lion has just died." said the

assented to the proposition and being
of bright wit and intelligence soon
learned all that was required Of him.
The first afternoon of the show he
went through the PAGES well. enclosed
in a large iron cage and occasionally
emitting a roar to startle the guileless
countrymen. In the evening the man.

by announcing to the audience that he
would place the lion in the tigers
cage. On hearing this the son of Erin

However, with trembling steps he went
into the tigers cage, but at once crept
up into a corner, praying to himself.

a furlong from the shore he was seen.
A boat turned his way. Then came
a final struggle to keep afoat. He was
dragged on board with his burden
when at the point of utter exhaustion.
The journey shoreward gave him
time to recover strength. With his
own hands he lifted Verna into a cab
They were driven to her lodgings in
Old Steyne. He took her in his arms
and gave her one long, passionate kiss.
Then. with a repressed sob, he left
her. He was never to meet Verna
again. She had pointed his way of
duty. and he must follow it.
Geoffrey turned his steps toward his
hotel.
1t was afternoon. A procession of
every conceivable kind of carriage
rolled along the Kings Road. BY the
Brunswick lawns. tearing along the
front at a mad speed, came a powerful
motor car. The driver was a man, and
at his side, closely yelled. sat 4 lady.
Scarcely perceiving the rushing car,
Godfrey crossed in front of it. A loud
shout and a furious below from a horn
made him look up as he dashed for

Surely he knew the driver? And that

her body suggested a name-but no,
