After what seemed AN age to- Monty
the Filter, in tow 0fthe freighter Glen
coe, arrived at Southampton. The cap
tam of The freight boat vas IA thrifty
Scotchman, whose ship was travelling
with IA light cargo, and he was not
therefore averse to taking on a tow
But the thought of salvage had caused
him to ask a high price for the service,
and Monty, after IA futile attempt at
bargaining, had agreed. The price was
$50 900, and the young man believed
more than ever that everything was
ruled 10y a wise Providence, who had
not deserted him. His guests were
heartsick when they heard the figure,
but were as happy as Monty at the
prospect of reaching land again.
The Glencoe made several stops be-
fore Southampton was finally reached
on the 28lh of August, but when the
English coast was sighted every one
was too eager to go ashore to begrudpe
the extra day. Dan DeMille asked The
entire party to become his guests for a
weeks shooting trip in Scotland, but
Monty vetoed the plan in the most
decided manner.
I'VE sail for New York on the fast
est boat" said Monty and hurried off
to learn the sailings and book his par
ty. The first boat was to sail IN the
Both, and he could only secure accom-
modations for twelve of his guests.
The rest were obliged to follow a week
later. This was readily agreed to, and
Bragdon was left to see to the neces-
sary repairs on the Filter and ar
range for her homeward voyage. Mon
ty gave Bragdon $4,000 for this pur-
pose and extracted a solemn promise
that the entire amount would be used.
but it won't cost half of this" pro-
tested Bragdon.
You will have to give these people a
good time during the week, and-well,
you have promised that l shall never
see another penny of 1t. Some day
you'll know why l do this" And Mon
ty felt easier when his friend agreed to
abide by his wishes.
He discharged the Filters crew,
with five months pay and the reward
promised on the night of Peggy's res
cue, which vas productive of touching
emotions. Captain Perry and his Off
GERS never forgot the farewell of the
prodigal, nor could they hide the re-

1t was decided to make for the
Canary islands, where repairs could be
made and the voyage resumed. But
where the wind had ragged a few days
before 1t had now disappeared alto
gether, and for a week the Filter toss
ed about absolutely unable to make
Roadway. The LIST of August had ar
rived and Monty himself was begin
ming to be nervous. With the fatal
day not quite two months away things
began to look serious. Over 100000
would remain after he had settled the
expenses of the cruise, and he was
helplessly drifting in midocean. Even
IL the necessary repairs could be made
promptly, it would take the Filter
fourteen days to sail from the Canaries
to New York. Figure as hard as he
could, he saw no way out of the unfor-
tunate situation. Two days more
ELAPSED and sill no sim If a breeze.
He made sure thai Sept. % would find
him still drifting and still in possession
of On ,000 supeIinous dollars.
AT The end of Ten days the yacht had
progress d but 200 miles, and Monty
was beginning TO plan the ret of his
existence OF a capital of 500 600. He
had given up all hope of the Sedgwick
legacy M was trying to he resigned
to his fate when "a tramp steamer wa
suddenly sighted. Brewster ordered
the man on watch to fly a flag OF dis
tress. Then he reported TO the captain
and told what he had done. With Il

tore The flag from the sailors hand.

"If they get "A line on us in response

days before the 23d, and it did not come
until after the secondhand store men
had driven away from her door with
the bulk Of his clothing in their wag-
on. She and Peggy had seen little of
Brewster, and his nervou restlessness
alarmed them. His return was the
talk of the town. Men tried to Shun
him, but he persistently wasted some
portion of his fortune on his unwilling
subjects. When he gave $1,000 in cash
to a home for newsboys even his
friends Jumped to the conclusion that
he was mad. 1t was his only gift to
charity. and he excused his motive in
giving at this time by recalling Sedg-
wick's injunction to give sparingly to
charity" Everything was gone from
his thoughts but the overpowering
eagerness to get rid of a few trouble-
some thousands. He felt like an out
cast, a pariah, a hated object that In
fected every one with whom he came
In contact. Sleep was almost impos-
sible; eating was a farce. He gave
elaborate suppers which he did not
touch. Already his best friends were
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of putting
him in a s"anitarium, where his mind
might be preserved. His case was
looked upon as peculiar in the history
of mankind. No writer could find a
