He pointed with his pipe.

They ran together and found the lit
tie circular mirror. The next wave
passed u%nheeded. Smiling, he went up
to the lamp. Even yet there was hope
they might go to bed when the respite
came.
After much talk of disordered hair,
wan cheeks, rings round the eyes,
cracked lips and other outrageous de.
fects which n pretty woman mourns
when divorced from her dressing table,
Constance called him.
Here IS a queer thing" she said.

any knowledge sounded from the OPP

He picked up a little trumpet re-
sembling the horn Of n motor ear.

It's tiny vibrator quickly brought the
needle round toward his hand.
at is improbable in the highest de-
gree that any steamer is neal enough
to affect the auriscope," he said. "On
a night like this they give the coast a
wide berth"
He quilted them again. The girls,
having nothing better to do, watched
the dial to see If any change occurred.
He heard them use the small trumpet
three times. Then Enid sang out:
"Oh, do come, dad! 1t goes back to
the southwest regularity"
He joined In. the watch. The needle
was pointing north in obedience to the
sound waves created in the room.
Suddenly 1t swung round nearly half
the circumference of the dial.
"Hush!" he said. They listened in
tently, but the roar Of wind and water
was too d~eafening. They could hear
naught else. He went to the south
west point of the glass dome, but the
lantern was so blurred with rivulets Of
water that he could see nothing save a
tawny vastness where the light fell on
the flying spindrift.
To make sure he tested the auriscope
again and with the same result.
"A vessel Is approaching from the
southwest" he announced gravely.
Evidently she is whlstling for help.

He put on an oilskin coat and tied
the strings Of a sou'wester firmly be-
meath his chin.
The small door of the lantern opened
toward the bay, SO he had no difficulty
in gaining the gallery. The girls
watched him forcing his way against
the wind until he vas facing 1t and

out of the corner of his eye he saw
that Constance, if not Enid. had not
missed the subtle hint in his words.
But she was quite normal again. She
gave no sign: helped her sister into the
heavy REFER, and made herself COM
Portable in turn.
Neither of you will ever regret to-
nights experimentation it is nicely
over he said. You are like a couple
of recruits in their first battle"
IL am sure began Enid.
A huge wave, containing several hun
dred tons of water, smote the light
house and cavorted over their heads.
The house that was founded upon a
its iron bound tiers, and the empty
cups danced on their saucers.
Not another word could Enid utter.
She was paralyzed.
THAT fellow-arrived-in the nick Of
time-to emphasize my remarks" said
Brand, lighting his pipe. This is your
baptism of fire, If | may strain Il meta
phor. But you are far better situated
than the soldier. He gets scared out
of his wits by big guns which are COM

"Are we In bliss?" demanded Con-
stance.
"You have been. The lighthouse has
outfaced a hurricane such as has not
visited England before In my lifetime.
1t is over. The wind has dropped to a
No. 10 gale, and we have not lost even
a bit of skin to my knowledge. Now
the cannonade Is beginning. Certainly
we may have the glass broken by n
rare accident, but no worse fate car

A heavy thud was followed by n
deluge without. They heard the water
pouring off the gallery.
Constance leaned forward, with
hands on knees. Her large eyes looked
into his.

You dear old humbug." she cried.
Now the quiet deadliness of the scene
which followed the temperance of
Enid and herself from their bedroom
was manifest to her. Enid, too, was
looking from one to the other In eager
striving to grasp the essentials Of an
episode rapidly grouping its details into
sequence. Brand knew that II he par

/ had the vaguest sort of suspicion,
but he hoodwinked me"
Had we known we would not have

"Yes, we would. Think of him,
sticking to his post. Was it for us to

Overcome by their feelings, they
stood in silence for a little while.
Through the thick glass they could
dimly distinguish Brands figure. A
great wave assailed the lantern, and
Enid screamed loudly.
Don't, dear" cried Constance shrilly.

Nevertheless they both breathed more
freely when they saw him again. an
in~determlnate shape against the lumi-
nous gloom.
Constance felt that she must speak.
The sound of her own voice begat con
fdence.
81 have never really understood dad
until tonight" she said. "What an en-
nobling thing Is n sense of duty. He
would have died here quite calmly,
Enid. yet he would avoid the least risk
out there. That would be endangering
his trust. Oh, / am glad we are here.
I have never lived before this hour"
Enid stole a wondering glance at her
sister. The girl seemed to be gazing
into depths Unreasonable. Afterward
the words came back to her mind
'That would be endangering his trust"
Brand faced the gale n full Ave min
utes. He returned hastily.
"There is a big steamer heading this
way-a liner, ! fancy" he gasped, half
choked with spray. II fear she Is disa-
bled. She is firing rockets, and l sup
pose her siren Is going constantly,
though | cannot hear It."
He ran to tho rOom beneath. Flush
ed with this new excitement, the girls
donned their oilskln coats and arrang-
ed their sou'westers. When he hur-
ried up the stairs he was carrying four
rockets. He noted their preparations.
Don't come out until | have fired the
alarm signal" he shouted, "and tie
your dresses tightly around your
knees"
They heard the loud Kissing of the
rockets, and the four reports travelled
duly from the sky. Three white star
bursts and one red told the Lands End
coast guards that a ship In need Of
help was near the Gulf Rock. Proba-
bly, they had already seer the vessels
signals. In any event they would not
miss the display from the lighthouse.
Walking with difficulty, the girls
crept out on to the balcony.
Brand had already gone to the wind
ward side. The first rush of the gale
made them GREATNESS, yet they perse-
vered and reached him. They were
greeted by a climber, but their father,
with a hand On their shoulders, pressed
them down. and the spray crashed
against the lantern behind them. He
knew they would take no harm. When
the vessel passed, their boots and stock
ings would be soaked. Then he could
insist that they should go TO bed.
At first they distinguished nothing

would be on their knees by his side
forthwith, and he wished to avoid any
further excitement.
"Please attend, both Of you," he
growled, with mock severity. II am
going to tell you something that will
console you"
His voice was drowned by some part
of the Atlantic whirllng over the Ian
tern.
This kind of thing does not go on
all the time" he continued. "Other-
wise we should have five hours of spas
modic conversation. AS soon as the
tide rises sufficiently to gain an unin-
terrupted run across the reef we will
have at least two hours Of comparative

head the black pail of the sky seemed
to touch the top of the lantern. Around,
In n vast circle carved out of the muir
ky wilderness, the wOndrous beam OF
the light fought and conquered its un-
wearied foes. Constance caught the
three quick flashes OF the Seven Stones
lightship, away to the right. She fan
cied she saw a twinkling ahead, but
this was the st. Agnes light, and nell
Their girl could make out other sight
nor sound until Brand pointed stead
lily toward one spot In the darkness.
Before they could follow his indica-
ton they were compelled to duck to
avoid another wave Then, as If 1t had
just popped up out Of the sea, they di-
vined n tiny white spark swinging
slowly across a considerable area. 1t
was by that means that Brand had es-
tlmated the size and nearness Of the
steamer, and soon they glimpsed the
red and green side lights. though ever
and anon these were hidden by the tor
rents of water sweeping over her
decks. or the vessel they could see
nothing whatever.
Steadily she rolled along her fearful
path. Having nee found her, there
was no difficulty in estimating the ra-
pidlty of her approach. Enid, whose
eyes were strong and farsighted, fan
cled she caught n fitful vision of a big

Though 1t vas difficult to speak, she
crept close to Brand and screamed:
us she drifting on to the reef?"
81 fear So" he answered.
'Then she will be lost!'
"Yes, unless they manage to pass to
s'uth'ard."
Luckily for poor human nature, men,
tai stress and physical effort rarely
unite forces. The mere attempt to re-
sist the wind, the constant watchful-
ness needed to avoid the ambitious
seas, though these, strange to say, APP
peared to be diminishing In size and
volume as the tide rose, served to dull
the horror of the threatened tragedy.
Brand quilted them for an instant to
glue his eyes to the lantern after wip-
ing Il space on the glass. He must see
If the lamp needed tending. Satisfied
by the scrutiny, he stood behind the
girls, who had shrunk closely together
the moment he retired.
'"They are trying to steer clear or
the reef" he shouted. "Twice they
have got her head around. but the sea
is too strong for them. am afraid she
is doomed"
Now they unquestionably saw the
great body Of the ship. Her tunnels
showed most clearly, making sharply
defined black daubs on the heaving
desert of froth. The %plunging whirls
of the masthead light were enough to
prove how the unfortunate vessel was
laboring in what might prove to be her
final agony.
And the pity Of It! The wind was
dropping. In another hour the weather
might moderate appreciably, the tide
would sweep her away from the horri-
BILE reef and help would be forthcom-
Ing. Indeed, even then a powerful
steam trawler was preparing to fight
her way out Of Penzance harbor, with
brave men on board ready to take any
risk to save a ship in Distress ,
