CHAPTER XIII.
The Long Search.

ne Long Search.
Mr.. Valentine Arthur Langford was
YEARLY pacing the quarter deck of his
magnificent yacht, the Southern Cross

appointed and embittered man. He
had made two ventures which, by a
stretch Of language in one case at least
could be called matrimonial, and both
OF them had resulted in disaster. Death
opportunity had relieved him of one
wife; the other who had stood in the
place Of the former without the legal
ceremony or the spiritual benediction
had vanished under circumstances so
mysterious that he had no idea wheth-
er she was alive or dead. On a certain
night some three years ago he had a
dim remembrance that he had be.

remembrance was only dim as to de-
tails 1t was entirely clear as to the
fact
What had happened as a result of
his conduct he could not clearly state.
The next morning the crew had found
him lying insensible on the cabin floor
with a fractured skull. The woman
was gone, also the power boat which
had trafled astern Of the yacht in the
pleasant weather. Such was his physi-
cal condition that when he was not
unconscious, he was delirious. He had
been able to give no coherent account
Of affairs and equally unable to give
any directions as to the future move
ments of the yacht, which had been
bound nowhere in particular upon a
pleasure cruise.

much distressed by the situation and

He turned and bounded away like

through the trees, and then sat down
upon the summit of the hill and stared
toward the ship. She was glad of
course, that they were to be rescued,
but as in the joy of their love there
was sorrow. so in her gladness there
was apprehension. That test of which
she had dreamed the night before
was now to be complete She would

She rose to her feet and extended

walked, except in the greater heat OF
midday. 1.-the, free-limbed, lightly
clad, deep chested and strong, in this
emergency they headed straight
across the hill instead Of taking the
longer way around the sands. The
distance was not great. There was q
sort of rude path which they had
made and often traversed, and in a
few moments they stood painting a
little, for they had been unusually
speedy and eager, on the top of the
hill.
"There!" cried the man, pointing to
seward.
His eyesight was better than hers,
but hers was still sufficiently keen, as
she followed his outstretched arm and
extended finger, to see upon the far
horizon a dark object which was I'M

CHAPTER XII.
The Ship on the Horizon.


Yesterday morning she had been
awakened by an earthquake. To-Day
1t was the call of voice, his voice.
There was none other on the island.
1t came to her through the open door
way. By turning her head she could
see the bright expanse of sand and
sea and sky beyond. Yet no figure
darkened the entrance. He stood out
of sight, but within hearing, calling her
name. She rose to her feet, gathered
the tunic about her waist by a cine
ture of plated grass, thrust the knife
within rude sheath she had made for
it, and stepped out upon the sand. She
had an instinct that something I'M
usual had happened, for never before
had he ventured to come to the cave
and thus awaken her. The change in
their relations might have moved him
to this extraordinary course, yet she
did not believe that 1t had. She found
him in great state of excitement.
AS she cleared the entrance he ran
toward her waving his hands.
There is something" he cried, his
voice thrilling with new and strange
emotions, ION the other side of the
island"
rs it something Of enough impor-
tance," she said, softly, laying her
had upon his shoulder, ito keep you
from kissing me good morning.
Evidently whatever 1t was, 1t was
not, she thought for a happy moment,
as he swept her to his breast at once.
That had been his first instinct, that
had been his burning desire the night
long, to have her in his arms was
his constant thought; but he was new
to lovers ways, unused to loves GUS
toms, and, besides, he had sworn that
the advances must come from her.
But once the advance was made, the
signal was displayed, the permission
was given, he more than did his part.
Pressing back her head he fed his full
upon her lips. No, not that, he could
never do that, but he kissed her long,
and for moment forgot what he
had to tell. 1t was she who first re-
membered.
And what is II" she asked. "On the
other side of the island?"
81 forgot it for the moment" he an
severed, passionately, "as forget
everything with you in my arms"
She laughed at this bold assertion.
You love-" she said, "as if you had
been taught to do it from the begin
ming"
1.-THE sight of you, your touch, the
air that hangs about your person,
they have taught me, and I am only
beginning now to show you how much
i love you"
'If this be the beginning, she
laughed, what will be the end?
There is no end" he replied laugh
ting in his turn.
But you came here to tell me some
thing else.''
when 1 started from the other side
OF the island it seemed the greatest
thing that could tell. but since have
seen you"
Man, man." she cried, with pleas
ant impotence, what is 1t that you
lsaw?"
IT think 1t is a ship" he answered,
with sudden gravity.
"A ship!" she cried.

Il am different. l have been out

She looked fixedly at him. He bent
closer to her and laid his hand upon
her shoulder, not this time in caress.
She WINGED from the tightness of his
grasp, the fierce intensity of his
clutch. yet she did not draw away,
and he was not conscious of the force
he used.

would be fatal to our happiness. You
see We must call back the ship. Give
me the flint and steel, for Gods sake,
you love me, mani"
She had never adjured him in that
fashion before. He stood irresolute
a moment and dropped the box at her
feet She had conquered. conquered
by appealing to his love for her. Moth
ing else, she felt, would have moved
him.
Eagerly she opened the silver box
and took thence the tiny implements.
Fortunately they we're in the heart of
the dry season. To strike spark
was easy, to communicate it to the tin
der-like brushwood was easier STILL In
moment, catching the inflammable
wood dried out by the tropic sun, the
flames roared through the great mass.
The cliff or peak at the top Of the is
land made a background for the fame.
and soon a pillar Of fire 20 or 80 feet
high leaped and curled up into the
still air of the morning.
The woman beckoned. The two ran
around the peak of the rock until
they were sheltered from the fierce
heat Of the fire. From where they
stood they could see the ship.
do you think" asked the man,
that the people on the ship will see
the hame?"
They cannot fail to see It."
"And how will they regard it,"
"As signal"
And what will they do?"
Turn about and head for the is
land"
And how can we tell what they are
doing?"
When the smoke ceases to elon-
gate" she replied, ut will show us
that they have turned and are heading
this way"
There was no breeze, apparently,
and the smoke would follow the wake
of the ship. They watched the little
speck on the horizon with strained in
tensity for few moments.
How If she passes on?" asked the
man, at last.
II shall take 1t as a sign" said the
woman, slowly, "that-Look!" she
cried, in sudden gladness.
The ship had turned and the cloud
of smoke now rose straight above her
in the still air.
"They have seen the signal" went
on the woman. They will come here
We shall be taken away!"
1T Is your fault" said the man,
grimly. Il wanted nothing but to be
alone with you"
