laughed to himself. There was a GER
tsin fitness about the proceeding that
pleased him.
Muriel had headed the Mike due
west, straight out through the narrow
channel from little Lake GlenOra into
Lake Michigan. Two arms of land
and rock stretched out TO meet Michi-
gan. On one, Rock point, stood the
big summer resort hotel. The other
was a long, barren waste OF rocks that
seemed endless when the lake was
calm. One by one, overlapping each
other, they lay from the beach far out
into the bay like some gigantic neck
lace. The windstOrm would catch the
little launch before she could possibly
reach the open channel, Tenant rea-
soned, aud blow it over on the reef.
Look out for the Chicago boat"
shouted the deck boy after him. Shes
coming down the lake now"
Tenant hardly heard him. The
storm had broken IN full force, and
the tiny shell Of a boat shivered and

he turned 1t into the channel. Straight
for the reef he headed, but the waves
were SO high he could not even catch
a glimpse Of the chain Of rocks, and
suddenly a path Of clear white light
swung leisurely across the sky and
flashed directly on the reef. 1t was
the searchlight on the White City.
Two things 1t showed Tenant In that
single wave of light. Just ahead Of
him was Cutters boat riding the
waves like a gull, dipping with every
lurching swell and showing the next
instant on the topmost crest. And it
was directly In the course Of the White
City. And clinging to the little pilot
wheel, striving to guide the launch
back safely, was Muriel, her long dark
hair loose and whipped by the. wind
across her face Just for an instant
lie saw her, then the great arc Of light
had swept back to the far end Of the
little lake and all was blacknesS ahead.
Blindly Tenant drove the little mo-
tor boat forward and suddenly side
by side it crashed into the launch. For
one instant the two touched, but in
that instant Tenant had made the
leap safely. Before he could recover
his balance the motor boat had vanish
ed like leaf In the storm, and he was
in the launch.
"Glve me the wheelp he said hoarse-
ly. And as the White City swung by
the Mike rose on her swell, wave
swept and battered, but secure, with a
strong hand on her little brass tipped
pilot wheel.
"Phil, Phil, listen to me" Down be-
side him in the boat knelt Muriel, white
to her lips, but happy, happy in spite
of the fact that they two had faced
death together but an instant before.
"Did we smash his old boat?"
Absolutely" Tenants arms tight
ened about her. The pilot wheel was
very much in the way.
II knew that you would come" she
went on. II saw you on the pier, but
l thought you would come right away
that was why l went out alone"
And light dawned slowly on Tenant
1t was his first lesson in the contradic-
tlOns of Muriel
"And was going back on that boat
tonight" he said.
Muriel laughed and pushed her wet
hair back from her face.
"AIr. Cutler took that boat, Phil"
she said.

PATERSON POLICEMEN
WANT BETTER SALARIES.
Ask the Board to Increase the Pay
from Eleven to Twelve
Hundred Dollars.

PATTERSON. Aug 16.-The patrolmen OF
this city. that is, the oder men in the
department, want an increase In pay They
are now receiving SO day, or I,100 a
year, and in a communication addressed 10
the police and fire board, give reasons
why they should be paid an annual salary
of 81, 200.
Tie communication. written on the let
terhead Of the Patrolmens Benevolent As
ISOLATION, was received by the conlinis-
sioners IN committee meeting last night,
but no action was taken. 1t viii go to
the board tonight. and then be referred
to committee for Investigation.
The police board has only sufficient
money to maintain the department as It is
running at present, and at that the board
must exercise economy. So 1t looks dark
for the police officers, for this year at least.
Maybe the officers will influence the Board
Of Aldermen next year to increase the
LIQUOR license fee. and If their efforts In
that direction he successful there may be
some chance Of the police commissioners
recognizing the petition. Most Of the ofii-
GERS in the department are capable men
and worthy of receiving the salary peti-
toned for.

like appartion Of a girl astride bicycle
fiittlng about the streets after mid
night will not startle residents In the
East End here any longer. For weeks

a crash and a scream, ran around a
corner and solved the mystery. He
found young and pretty girl clad in a
thin nightdress which had suffered Sc

He escorted her home and startled her

The girl said she had no recollection

wrong until they heard the sound of
the shot. Several Of them ran to the
assistance of McTTadden. but the rob-
bers warned them off and then made
their escape.
