present to him, he hated the man or
the men in the boat off shore.
BY the woman's directions Just be-
fore they reached the shore, the man
picked up two fallen branches of palm.
They ran to the beach opposite the
entrance and waved the palm branches
above their heads. II was too far for
the voice to carry and there was too
much noise from the breakers on the
reef IL the distance had been shorter.
But the men in the boat evidently
caught sight Of the signals and under
stood them, for she was presently
about and in few moments they saw
her prov cut the blue waters of the
lagoon through the one entrance to the
barrier. The man and woman stood
silently, a little apart, watching the
swift approach. Unerringly steered,
the boat struck the gently shelving
beach bows on, and a last sturdy
pull drove her fairly out of the water.
The man in the stern sheets rose,
stepped forward between the oarsmen
and leaped out on the sand.

past. conventional faced the uncon.

slowly set Langford down upon his
feet on the sand.

trembling with impotent anger.
There was nothing that he could
do personally. If he had possessed
weapon he would have killed the is-
lander, but he was unarmed and help
less. Therefore he turned toward the
beach and called to his men. They
had seen the sudden attack and were
already running across the sands.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture Of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
Versation.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at a dinner Of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with
story deprecating the spelling of q
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck a note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise ST.
lence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
SANDY, I'm thinking il yon fly is a
birdie or a beastie"
The other replied: Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious converse

SYNOPSIS.

A young woman cast ashore on lone
ly island, finds a solitary inhabitant,
young white man, dressed like a savage
and unable to speak in any known Lam
guage, She decides to educate him and
mold his mind to her own ideals. She
finds evidence that leads her to believe
that the man Is John Revell Charnock OF
Virginia, and that he was cast ashore
when a child. Katharine Brenton was a
highly specialized product of a leading
university. Her writings on the sex prob
lem attracted wide attention. The son of
a multi-milliona becomes infatuated
with her and they decide to put her theo-
ries into practice With no other cere-
mony than q handshake, they go away
together. A few days on his yacht re
veals to her that he only professed lofty
Ideals to possess her. While drunk he at
tempts to kiss her. She knocks him down
and leaves him unconscious, escaping in
the darkness in gasoline launch. During
a storm she is cast ashore on an island.
Three years teaching gives the man a
splendid education. Their love for each
other is revealed when he. rescues her
from a cave where she had been impris-
oned by an earthquake. A ship is sighted
and they light a beacon to summon 1t.
Lansford, on his yacht sights the beacon
and orders his yacht put in.

was prepared for an attack. He dealt
a blow at the oncoming figure with all
the force of his arm, and skill and
training enabled him to put into it
more than one would have fancied
from the slightness of his figure. He
struck the man fairly in the chest.
The blow apparently might have stag
gered an OK, II had no effect whatever
upon the other. In an instant Lang
ford was caught as If in the grasp of
a whirlwind. He was lifted from the
earth and held high in the air. For
one tense moment, unable to struggle,
he hung upon uplifted arms. He heard
q voice beneath him cry:
Woman, SHAH 1 throw him down
and kill him?"
DO him no hurt" said the woman,
for what he has said, as he sees 1t,
is true"

CHAPTER XIV.
Accusation and Admission.

Accusation and Admission.
Now that the great moment had
come-for Langford had at last recog-
nized the woman whom he sought in
spite of her strange garb-he became
suddenly acutely conscious of trivial
details and accurately responsible to
matters of no moment. He stepped,
for instance, near the bow Of the boat,
told the coxswain that he might allow
the men to land but that they must re-
main close to the beach and within
easy call and see that the boat YVES
properly secured. Then he turned and
walked slowly-singular how eager he
had been for that moment and how
tardy he was in awaiting himself Of
it when 1t came-toward the two who
stood silently watching a little dIs-
lance away.
He was dressed in a boating suit
Of white and wore a white yachting
cap. He was distinctly good looking.
His repentance, his anxiety, his disap-
pointment had refined his face to a
certain degree and he was not an I'M
worthy specimen Of humanity in ap'
pearance. The man looked at him
with vivid curiosity and a sudden
sense of dismay to find the new conner
so worthy of respect on the ground of
appearance at least
The glance that Langford gave the
man was at once casual and indiffer.
ent. His whole interest was centered
upon the woman. He found himself
trembling violently In spite Of the
superhuman efforts he put forth al
control. 1t was only the most iron
constraint indeed that enabled him tc
approach her at all. AS he drew near
to her, he took of his cap, bowed to
her and strove to speak.
Katharine" he said at last hoarse
ly, "than'r God that have found you!
Woman" said the man by her side
stepping swiftly forward and confront

you approach; that she looks at yol

been upon this island"

him.
