BOOK THREE.
CHAPTER XI. Beware the Path Ahead of You!"

The American paces the deck more buoyantly; reflection shows him what prodieious aid Marina's knowledge of her native island, it's proud, venge- full race and curious customs. will be to him in his search for his lost bride
 The mists of the morning are slowly rising from the bluff headlands of Cape Rosso; before the vessels bow rises the old Genoese watch tower that guards the little harbor of Porto, from which is shipped the pine timber of the great Naldoniello forest.
 The alert Graham. who has gazed from the stern astounded at the sud den appearance of Mrs. Anstruther on board his craft, leaving the wheel to a jack tar, now comes forward and touching his hat to tbe lady, says: Pleased to see you on board. ma am. though I'm afraid. MT. Barnes. you'll

 For the wife of Anstruther, with some wraps thrown over her fete cos tune of the night before, stands before him, the fresh breeze twining the gar ments about her figure till she seems risen from the mists of the morning.
 My God, why have you come here?"
 ITO try and save your wife, the sis ter of my husband!" cries the Corsi- can girl. You couldn't have done it. You know too little of this curious island and its customs. To you, a stranger. every one of that jealous, suspicious race would be an enemy-to me, born with them-the name of my family adored-some will be friends. You would surely fail, may succeed."
 You should have told your hus- banh" The Americans voice is al most stern.
 T dared not, Edwin would not have let me go. My darling values me too highly to risk a hair of my head on such venture" answers the Corsican bride proudly.
 Why didn't you tell me when l came on board? You lay here unsheltered all night save by the bulwarks," utters Burton synpathetically
 The night was warm the wind. though strong was balmy. Besides, l waited till you were near enough to Corsica not to turn back from 1t, even to restore me to my husband. There is the island. There I will help you find your bride, Enid shall not die nor suffer because she is the sister of my husband or because she is your wife"
 Great Scott, you're the Marina of old!' he exclaims in astonished ad- 1 miration.
 "Of course l am" she answers buoy antly. My darling husband is for the moment safe. Their letter which branded me as traitor to my race for marrying Edwin, says if l desert my husband they will spare him. Cor sieans keep their devilish promises, These assassins will think l have abandoned the husband of my heart and will spare him till return to again nestle in his arms and shield him with my very life against these fiends of the blood feud"

of the Bay of Villefranche.
 The illuminations of Nice fade away in the darkness of the night to the American upon the deck of the fishing vessel, which now, under fresh and increasing breeze, is bounding through the water.
 Graham is still at the wheel, Barnes pacing the little deck of the silent craft. His steely eyes peer into the gloomy blank ahead of him. His life seems a blank also Tonight he had expected the lovelit eyes of his fairy bride to be beside him on a honey moon cruise. Now! He smites his hands despairingly together.
 He turns to Graham at the wheel and asks: How long before we reach Corsica?"
 With this breeze, I dinna think be- fore early tomorrow"
 You are carrying all the sail possi- ble?"
 Every cloth she has"
 Barnes turns to step into the cabin.
 You're going down to t.y and get a wee bit O sleep, ha' hopes," remarks the Scotch mate sympathetically.
 Sleepy" the American laughs as if in mockery of the idea, yet goes below and tries to force his mind to the com mon sense of this strange abduction.
 The next morning with the first rays of the sun, Barnes is on deck again, peering toward the east. and before him Is a blue haze that Graham, who is again at the wheel, says is Corsica.
 But now some few feet from the stem of the little vessel, figure that has been crouching under the low bull

More Lioht Needed.

People are now demanding more powerful lights, using 30 condlepower electric lamps"where few years back they would have been content with eight The reason appears to be that the pail over our towns is increasing in general intensity, though actual fogs are fewer.
