should ask him that question on the

because he loved her more.
And then he discovered that he
wanted her more than he had ever de-

dreamed she would be; that here was
no question Of honor or duty, indeed,
but of love. overwhelming, obsessing.

he had been neither grateful, nor kind,

wonder fearfully if, after having

nigh 30 years it had not been so
abandoned. Two days past it had re-
sounded with the cries of men scaling
its heights, crashing through its cop
pices, calling a name, beseeching an
answer. Two days before great ships
had drifted idly under it's lee. 1t had
been the center and focus of great
events. Now it lay desolate, alone.
On that morning the tide which had
drawn away from it through the long
night had turned and was coming
back. The force of the water spent
itself upon the barrier. Within the
lagoon it lay placid. rising gently inch
by inch in mighty overflow. A watcher,
had there been one, would have seen

him. Her soul had revolted because
he had failed. She had told herself
that he was not worthy of her. She
forgot these things in that profound

that she loved him. When she could

He hated Langford. and yet his sense
of justice forced him to admit that he
had played the man at last, while he,
the islander, had treated her out
rageously and in the end had played
the fool. Was there chance that
she would forgive him?
The man was in many respects still
a child. His heart in those sad and
dreary hours yearned toward her as
the weaned baby turns toward its
mother. And yet there was nothing
weak or childish in his feeling. He
recognized his own powers, his own
capacities. He knew then that she
had taught him more things than
are learned in books. She had taught
him manhood as she had tried to teach
him honor and dignity, and If he had
failed once, II he had derogated from
her high standard. he remembered
that 1t was through failure that men
achieved. He tried to comfort him
self with these thoughts, but with lit
tie success.
But by and by all these considera-
lions faded away or merged in a great
longing for her. He had never dis
turbed her in the still watches of the
night, although he had often been
tempted to do so. But now the desire
to see her, to plead with her, to beg
her forgiveness-not a low desire or
base one, he thanked God-was so
great that he could no longer sustain
it. He rose to his feet and looked out
of the open port hole. The dawn was
craving the east. Attired as he was
in the loose shirt and trousers in which
he had lain down, which were not I'M
like the tunic that he habitually wore,
save that they were of soft, luxurious
silk, he opened the door of the cabin,
stepped out through the silent ward
room-he had the natural savage art
of treadins without a sound-ran light
ly up the companion ladder and
stepped upon the deck. The officer of
the watch and his midshipman did not
notice him. Their eyes were else
where. He ran swiftly across the deck
and stopped ct the gangway. A mar
inc stood there and started forward
as he approached.

turning toward the officer of the

Aye. aye" came from Mr.. Hopkins
as he turned and started forward to
the gangway.
The next moment the man had
seized the marine in a grip which lef,
him helpless. lifted him gently out OF
the gangway. dropped him carelessly
upon the deck and had flashed through
the air into the water.
By. the time Mr.. Hopkins reached
the gangway the half.dazed marine
had risen to his feat.

MR.. MANN AND THE SALOONS.

The allegation that practically the whole
saloon and brewery influence, especially the
outlaw portion of it, was thrown against Com
missioner Mann and in favor of Mr.. Weis is
not borne out by the returns of the election.
These show that in Highlandtown, Canton
and Patapsco Neck, where the saloon influence
dominates, Mr. Mann ran well ahead of his
colleagues on the Democratic ticket. 1t was
not a case of cutting the Democratic ticket-it
was genuine return to Republicanism, the
whole ticket of that party getting fine vote.
The truth about the matter is that the Demo
cratic ring being forced to take some action in
regard to violations of the Sunday law, tried
to enforce the law in partial manner, allow
ing political favorites to escape. Those who
felt the sting of course resented the unfairness
by voting against the ring candidates, although
they could have hoped for no illegal favors
from the Republican party, and even temper
ance people and upholders.of the law were not
convinced that the police authorities were sim
cere in their manifestations of reform. This
was made plain TO watchers at the count who
saw a number of prohibition ballots on which
Mr.. Weis was marked as choice for County
Commissioner.

REPUBLICANS ENCOURAGED.

While the substantial fruits of complete
victory are always preferable to the mere glory
of splendid, though losing fight, the Repub-
licans have every reason to congratulate them
selves on the showing made last Tuesday. The
majority given against the amendment was
even beyond the expectations of both friends
and foes of the measure and will tend largely
to advertise the county as a place of federation
and to some extent will offset the unenviabe
notoriety formerly gained as place ring -ridden
by intoIerant bourbonism. The Twelfth dis
trict, especially is 10 be praised for the crafty
ingchange from about 300 Democratic plurality
last year to about 1000 Republican this year.
Considering the odds against them, the Repub-
licans made a game fight throughout the
county, and an inspection of the returns shows
that change of four votes to precinct would
have elected one Republican member of the
Legislature, while change of five votes to
precinct would have made Mr.. Gardiner County
Commissioner by a safe plurality. Mr.. Glantz,
the lowest man on the Democratic ticket for
the Legislature, is but $40 votes ahead of Mr..
Curry, the highest man on the Republican
Legislative ticket, and the plurality of DR..
Mattfeldt, for County Commissioner, is only
429 over Mr. Gardiner
1t is, of course, impossible to say to just what
extent fusion with the independent Democrats
helped the Republican ticket. Some Republic
cans declined to vote for Mr.. Weis, but these
could not have been many, as he was neither
the highest nor the lowest man on the Repub
Iican ticket. In Highlandtown, where the sole
Democratic fusionist was expected to and did
show most strength, his vote was not very
materially different from that given the re-
mainder of the Republican candidates. There
fore, both Republicans and independents were
quite true to the fusion pact or the independent
vote did not materalize very strongly. But
whatever assistance the Democrats rendered
was most credtabIe on their part, and it is to be
hoped their number will continue to grow.
There is every reason for the Republicans and
independents in this county to keep up their
spirits and put up fight next year and the
year after that will swing the county away
from the grasp ofthe Democratic organization.
