Langford to the figures, and suggest,

show an opening through the barrier.

it. The men bent to their oars, and
soon parted the quiet waters of the
lagoon. The two figures stood in
plain view upon the beach still too far
for those in the boat to make out who
they were. Langford could only see
that one was taller than the other;
that both were dressed in some sort
of loose tunic that fell to the knees
and left the arms bare. He was dis
appointed, and yet hopeful. The sus.
pense was almost unbearable. The
men were doing their utmost, seeing

CHAPTER XIII.
The Long Search.

Mr.. Valentine Arthur Langford was
YEARLY pacing the quarter deck OF his
magnificent yacht, the Southern Cross.
Mr.. Langford was an intensely dis
appointed and embittered man. He
had made two ventures which, by q
stretch of language in one case at least
could be called matrimonial, and both
Of them had resulted in disaster. Death
opportunely 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
dim remembrance that he had be.
haved like n brute to a woman. His
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
MIN lying insensible on the cabin floor
with a fractured skull. The woman
was gone, also the power boat which
had tTailed 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.
The old sailing-master and captain.
much distressed by the situation and
the emergency in which he found him
self suddenly plunged, decided that
his best course, in fact, his only
course, was to get back to civilization
and doctor as soon as possible. He
had instantly put the yacht about and
headed for the nearest land where he
might hope to get suitable care for his
terribly Ill young employer. He
pushed the yacht to the utmost speed
and in three weeks dropped anchor in
Honolulu, Just in time to save the
young mans life. Indeed, for a long
time it was touch and go as to wheth.
'er his life could be saved at all, and
# was not until nearly a year had
elapsed before the Southern Cross
sailed for San Francisco with weak
and shaky, but conyalescent owner, on
her quarter deck
? The departure of Katharine Brenton
with Valentine Langford had made a
great sensation, but 1t was nothing to
the sensation which ragged when 1t be-
came known that Valentine Langford
had returned without her. She was
woman Of too much Importance. she
had played too large a Part n the af
fairs Of the world, civilization had
manifested too much interest in her
TO allow her to drop out of its sigh
without at least making an effort tt
find her. The position of Mr.. Valen
tine Langford became Interestingly
dificult in the face of a storm of in
quiry. M Langford's previous mar
qiage was, fortunately for him, un
known, but the world had had a com
;plete and adequate idea of the terms
of the union which had been entered
upon so blithely between Langford anC
