animation. The watchers from the
lighthouse saw Ben relieve the steers
man and tenderly arrange the cushions
behind his back. Then Brand closed
the iron doors, and the three were left
In dim obscurity.
They climbed nearly a hundred feet
of stairways and emerged IN to the
cornice balcony after Brand had stop
ped the clockwork which controlled the
hammer Of the bell.
What a difference up here! The sea,
widened UNNECESSARILY, had changed
Its color. Now it was a sullen blue
gray. The land was nearer and high
er. The Daisy had shrunk to a splash
of dull brown on the tremendous ocean
prairie. How fierce and keen the wind!
How disconsolate the murmur Of the
reef!
Brand, adjusting his binoculars, scru-
tinized the boat.
"4All right aboard" he said. 81 think

signal noted and forwarded" he
read aloud. "That Is all right, but the
wind has changed"
Enid popped inside the lantern for
shelter. 1t was bitterly cold.
Better follow her example, Connie"
said Brand to his daughter. II will
draw the curtains. We can see just
as well and be comfortable"
Indeed, the protection of the stout
plate glass, so thick and tough that
sea birds on q stormy night dashed
themselves to painless death against it,
was very welcome. Moreover, though
neither Of the girls would admit II,
there was a sense of security here
which was strangely absent when they
looked into the abyss beneath the stone
gallery. Constance, balancing a tele-
scope, and Enid, peering through the
fieldglasses, followed the progress of
the Daisy in silence, but Brands eyes
wandered uneasily from the barometer,
which had fallen rapidly during the
past hour, to the cyclonic nimbus
spreading its dark mass beyond the
Seven Stones lightship. The sun had
vanished seemingly for the day, and
the indicator attached to the base of
the wind vane overhead pointed now
sou'west by west. 1t would not re-
quire much further variation to bring
about a strong blow from the true
southwest, a quarter responsible for
most Of the fierce gales that sweep the
English channel.

''Thpn you had better take him when

This offered too good an opening to
be resisted.
ENID has already secured the lieu
tenant" she ~murmured, with a swift
glance at the other.
Brand looked up quizzically.
Dear me-" he cried, 'if my con-
gratulatiOns are not belated"-
Enid was blushing again. She threw
her arms about his neck.
Don't believe her, dad" she said.
"She's jealous!'
Constance saw a book lying on the
table, Regulations For the Lighthouse
Service" She opened 1t. Brand stroked
Ends hair gently and resumed the
writing of his daily journal.

"And carry wands?" added the re-

"And dress In velvet cloaks and

shouted Brand. "Be off, both of you.
Keep a lookout for the next ten min

mainland or catch sight Of the. Lance
lot, call me-"
They climbed to the trimming stage
of the lantern, which was level with
the external gallery. Obedient to in
structlons, they searched the Lands
End and the wide reach of Mounts
bay beyond earn du. Save a scuddlng
sail or two beating in from the Lizard
and a couple of big steamers hurrying
from the east-one Il transatlantic
transport liner from Lo~ndon-there
was nothing visible. In the far dis
lance the sea looked smooth enough,
though they needed no explanation of
the reality when they saw the irregular
white patches glistening against the
hull of a Penzance fishing smack.
"Oh, Connie, the reef" said Enid
suddenly in a low voice.
They glanced at the turbid retreat
Of the tide over the submerged rocks.
The sea was heavier, the noise louder,
now that they listened to 1t, than when
they arrived in the Daisy, little more
than an hour earlier. Some giant force
seemed to be wrestling there, raging
against Its bonds, striving feverishly
to tear, rend, utterly destroy Its lnvisi-

course it blows hard here in a gale,
but just look at that tiny ventilator, no
bigger than a ships portfolio, with a
double storm shutter to secure 1t If
you please, for all the world as If the
sea rose so Hight"
Constance took thought for awhile.
Il suppose the sea never Ices reach
this height" she said.
Enid, in order to look out. had to
thrust her head and shoulders through
an aperture two feet square and three
feet in depth. They were in the living
room at that moment-full seventy feet
above the spring tide high water mark.
Sixty feet higher the cornice of the
gallery was given its graceful outer
slope to shoot the climbing wave crests
Of an Atlantic gale away from the Ian
tern. The girls could not realize this
stupendous fact. Brand had never told
them. He wished them to sleep peace
fully on stormy nights when he was
away from home. They laughed now
at the fanciful notion that the sea
could ever so much as toss its spray
at the window Of the living room.
They passed into the narrow stair
way. Their voices and footsteps
sounded hollow. 1t was to the floor
beneath that Bates had fallen.

house." cried Enid. 1T gives one the
creeps.'
'Surely there are neither ghosts nor
ghouls here" said Constance. 1T Is
modern, scientific, unitarian in every
atom OF its solid granite"
But Enid was silent as they climbed
the steep stairs.
Once she stopped and peeped into
her fathers bedroom.

whispered. 1T used to be Mr.. Jones'

Constance, on whose shoulders the

for an instant; then she buried her

Jack got a brother as nice as him.

Whereupon Constance laughed loud
and long.
The relief was grateful to both.
