the chaplain summoned elsewhere by
their duties, babe the two farewell
and left them.
Charnock could not have fallen into
better hands. Education was his first
requirement and he applied himself
to It with a fierce energy and a grim
determination which presently, from
the splendid foundation which had
been laid enabled him to progress suf-
ficiently to take his place and hold
his own with men and women. II was
impossible to keep secret forever the
details Of such a story as his, es-
pecially when 1t was linked with q
name SO famous and still remembered
as that Of Katharine Brenton, and It
had been decided by Capt. Ashby and
Whitaker and the man himself that
such portions of 1t as would sufiice
to explain his own presence and her
fate should be given to the world. Upon
the foundation thus afforded ro-
nance builded. Charnock Immediately
became marked man. He would have
been a marked man In any event from
the financial power that he possessed.
HIS uncle's management had been wise
and prudent, he had spent little and
had saved much, SO that Charnock
found himself the possessor of vast
riches In the form of available capital.
Among the first things he learned
was the power Of money. Had he not
been steadied by the memory Of the
woman, he would probably have
learned 1t to his sorrow. As 1t was, he
was almost misery. He spent little up
on himself. His wants were astonish-
ingly few and contact with the world
did not develop extravagant ideas.
Those were things which he was too
old to learn, against which he had
been anchored. He was saving what
he had and what he could get for
some great purpose, a purpose of help,
of assistance in which he could COM
memorate her name, for which future
generations should rise up and call
her blessed.
He had long talks with his uncle
about 1t. The old man would fain
have had his nephew marry and carry
on the ancient line. Delicately, ten
derby, he preached the subject after a
time, but the suggestion met with abb
splute refusal. Women interested
Charnock as men did. Indeed his in
terest in his kind was intense. The
intellectual stimulus of conversations
with bright, intelligent people was the
most enhancing result of his contact
with the world. But none of them
touched his heart. That was buried on
that gemlike island in the far on sea.
He was a man OF unusual force Of
character, prompt and unyielding de-
cision. His uncle had not lived his
long life without being able to esti-
mate men. He recognized very early
in the undertaking the futility of ar.
gument, and though he tried finesse in
the presence of the wittiest, the cley.

She slept late the next morning. In
the first place being upon the western
side of the island, there was no flood

door to disturb her quiet slumber. In

cry, human voice calling her name.
She opened her eyes and saw within
the dimness of the cave human fig

For one fieeting instant she imagined
that 1t might be he, but that hope
was dispelled as quickly as it had
been born. She recognized the voice.
1t was Langford's.

island. Where had you hidden? Why

She rose slowly to her feet and con.
fronted him.
"You!" she said bitterly. "Why have
you come back?"
