CHAPTER XI. j
FRANCES GOES TO SEA.


"HREE months had passed fol.
lowing the casting of the Som.
mers gun, three months that
had brought many changes to
those whose lives had been for short
time tangled in the intricate maze Of
pride, love and ambition. Il
The gun had been taken to the prov
ing grounds and there had stood the
test. The naval board was enthusi
astics over it. All that remained wa
for the weapon to prove it's efficiency
on shipboard at target practice and it
would be adopted by the government.
Orders on the Rhinestrom gun were
still held up pending the result of tar
get practice.
Lieutenant Sommers had been or
dered back to. sea duty. Apparently
he had achieved his ambition. The
future looked bright for him in his
chosen profession. Fellow officers en-.
We'd him. He was considered won
derfui young man. and bright future
in the service of his country seemed in
store. Al :
All this on the side Of ambition. but
on the other side life was not sc
bright He knew that no matter how
high he might rise in his profession
happiness could not be his. He had
lost irretrievably the girl he loved,
and satisfied ambition meant little to.

~On the eFmorning afterlthe sensational
events in the furnace room Sommerss
had, called at the lDurant house. Fran
ces had refused to see him. He wrote
her a letter. and it was returned to,
him unopened. Finally he managed to,
meet her on the street. but she passed
him by without speaking.

each other, both at first unable
Q to speak. Perhaps speech was
unnecessary, for the face of
each told plainly how much this chance
meeting meant
Of course 1t was the girl who recov-
cred first. With an arch smile that
was very close to tears of happiness
she held out her hand.
80 you haven't quite forgotten me,
have you? You do know my name.
Won't you shake hands?" SIS
The man came to her eagerly, seizing
her hand and holding it with a grip
that almost crushed it, while she looked
all the things that he could not just
then say.
Il can hardly believe it's really you,"
he exclaimed. It's so strange to find
you away off here"
Frances heart was pounding with
great throbs of happiness. He loved
her! That was plain, very plain. Every
look, every gesture. showed it. And
with the knowledge there came to the
heart of the girl great confidence,
content that made her able, woman
like, to hide all her feelings and make
him work for everything that in real
ity already belonged to him.
