second officer
Look below" repeated Brand hope
lessly. and indeed. when they obeyed
him. craning their necks over the rail
to examine the seething caldron from
which the granite tower tapered up to
them, no man could say that the light
house keeper deplored Stanhopes de
ciSion without good reason.
They understood matters a little bet
ter, perhaps, when, one by one, they re-
entered the lantern, the Falcon having
fitted away to make her final prepare

Pyne alone remained. He wondered
why one man should be called on to
| endure so much.
Though each of those present on the
gallery was loyal to Brands sorrowful
request. it was impossible to prevent
others from seeing that something of
exceptional interest was in progress
afioat and on the rock.
| Brand did not know that the officials
| of the Trinity house had only agreed
to help Stanhope's hazardous project
under compulsion. The sailor inform
ed them that he was determined to
carry out his scheme with or without
their assistance. So when the Falcon,
the tender and strong tug hired by
Mr.. Trail rounded the distant earn du
headland at II o'clock the lighthouse
keeper felt that further protest was
unavailing. 1t behooved him to take
all possible measures to help the men
who were about to dare so much to
help him.

whispered these words of foreboding.
Although the lamp needed no attention
juT then. he climbed to the trimming
stage merely to find relief in mechan-
zeal action. He carefully examined the
adjustment. and, TO judge how the
weather was shaping. went out into the
gallery to look at the distant lights.
The three quick flashes of the Seven
Stones lightship were very clear. That
was n good sign. The wind came from
that quarter. and, clustering though it
was. driving gigantic waves before it
into the loud embrace of the reef, it
maintained the good promise Of the
last few hours.
Seeking the comparative shelter Of
the east side. he gazed steadily at the
Lizard. Its two fixed electric beams,
nearly in line with the Gulf Rock, were
dull and watery. A local squall of rain
was sweeping down from the land.
Changeable, threatening, unsettled
the meteorologist might apply any Of
these terms to the prevalent condi-
tions
Far out in the channel he saw the
twinkling masthead lights of several
steamers. Blow high or low, mails
must travel and vessels put to sea. On
such a night at other times he would
re-enter the lighthouse with a CHEEKY
sense of its comfort and homelike as

"Who was that?' be asked.

Brand smiled.
Poor lady, he said "She, like the
rest Of us. is perturbed and uneasy. l
imagine she is of somewhat hyster-
zeal temperament"
That's So" agreed Pyne
There were puZzling discrepancies in
Mrs. Vansittart's explanation of her
untimely appearance. Evidently she
did not expect to meet him there She
thought she would find the lighthouse
keeper alone. The ready deduction
presented itself that when she did en-
counter Brand she did not wish any
third person to be present at the inter
view
That Constances father had no cause
to look at matters in the same light he
was quite certain. Anyhow, it was
not his affair, and he declined to trou-

in. He lifted his eyes to the somber
arch of the heavens. Men said the age
of miracles had passed. Pray God it
might not be so!
When Brand went out the sudden
rush of cold air through the little door
leading to the balcony aroused Pyne.
That young gentleman was rudely
awakened from a seriously vivid
dream. He fancied that Constance and
he were clinging to the tail of an enor-
nous kite. which had been made to
hover over the rock by a green imp
seated in an absurdly small boat.
They were solemnly advised by other
gnomes. imps with sparkling, toadlike
eyes, to intrust themselves to this pre-
carious means Of escape, but the in
slant they dropped off the ledge of the
gallery their weight caused the kite
to swoop downward. The resultant
plunge into the ocean and Constance's
farewell shrek were nothing more ter
rifying than the chill blast and whistle
of the air current admitted by Brand,
but Pyne did not want to go to sleep
again. He did not like emerald hued
spirits which arranged such unpleasant
escapades.
He Strengthened his stiff limbs and
| sat up.
He was about to feel in q pocket for
