attempt it seemed now doubly futile
since the mans exposure had already
begun. Beyond a doubt the path of
Bryce's love now lay open before him,
and he read success in Amy's Eyes.
The time had not come for words, but
the hearts of these two lovers spoke to
each other in the var shadows thrill
ing with wildwood scents beady as
wine.
1t happened that the Cliff was taxed
to its capacity and Bryce must seek
accommodation elsewhere. After din
ner, therefore, he took a rowboat and
pulled across to a neighboring hotel.
the Vale.
AS Bryce rowed along in the dark
ness he could see a certain light on
a veranda of the Cliff. 1t was a bright
lantern on a table before the door Of
Amy's room. If he held a true course
the corner of the hotel would cut this
light off from Bryce's view, but by
keeping a very little outside the line
he could have it to look at, and he
amused himself by just preserving his
beacon from eclipse. His m%editations
were of the most agreeable character,
but they were rudely interrupted by

that those vessels are scrap iron. while.
she, the privateering terror of the war
of 1912, is still transacting business
and will probably be doing the same
when some modern Dreadnoughts are
at the bottom Of the ocean or being
bid in by junk dealers.
Though 105 years of age, the Polly
made the trip from Boston to New
York to receive the memorial tablet
and beat out the Oliver Ames, the
largest two masted schooner afoat, in
doing so. The tablet donors, the New
York Chapter Of the Daughters of
1872, could not make the trip to Mas
sachusetts, so the Polly and her own
er obligingly came to them, stopping
for a few days the coastwise trade in
which she is now engaged.
A little trip like that is nothing to the
Polly, for she has been around the
world twice and rounded Cape Horn
six times, carrying cargoes from New
York to California during the gold
rushes of 1910.
Captain Joseph H. Weldon, the pres
ent skipper, who says he purchased
the Polly for purely sentimental rea-
sons. proudly displayed his vessel to
the Daughters. The boat is sixty-one
feet over all and is built along Dutch

LUCKY BOB'S
INSPIRATION.
How a Light In a Window Caused
a Villains Downfall.
BY HOWARD FIELDING,

copyright. 1910, by American Press Asso-
ciation.]
His name was Robert Bryce. He
was an attorney, and the law Of pat
ents was the field wherein he reaped
al excellent harvest of fees. His
friends called him Lucky Bob"
A a would naturally prefer to
have his successes credited to his abil-
ity rather than to his luck, vet it was
not for this reason that Bryce disliked
his nickname. 1t offended him because
it was a lie. The fates had done him
an ill turn, and all their favors were
but mockeries.
Three years ago, when Bryce was
t~wenty-six, he met Martin L. Randall.
who paid him well for a small profess
sional service. The money came just
in the nick of time, for Bryce was
struggling hard to get a foothold in in
dependent practice. Randall was 4
rich man. He had manufacturing inter
ests of various kinds, involving the use
of patented machinery and the making
of patented articles. He took a fancy
to Bryce, intrusted him with important
affairs, kept him in funds, advised him
yited him to his home.
Friendship sprang up between the
men despite the great difference in
their years. They We're constantly
seen together. 1t was current talk that
Bryce's fortune vas made, and his col
lege nickname, Lucky Bob, was heard
again on the lips of his associates.
On his first visit to Randall's home
Bryce dined with the family, only n
of whom had a drop Of blood in COM
mon with Randall. This was his sis
ter, a widow and childless. The others
were a Mrs. Loring and her daughter
Amy and a young man named Ballard
Dillon. Randall had been a cavalry
officer in the civil war and in those
days capable of romantic friendships.
Mrs. Loring vas the widow of a COM
rade in arms. Dillon was the son of
another. The lady had been left with
some small means in trust with Ran
dali. Dillon was a penniless orphan
who had fallen into the lap of luxury.
Amy Loring was not yet eighteen
when Bryce first saw her. She
seemed to him a very pretty and we'll
bred girl and nothing more.
The first warning that Bryce re-
ceived came from Randall at the
house one evening. Amy and Dillon
happened to be standing together in a
good light and accidentally posed with
some artistic value.
"A handsome couple" said Randall.
who was an admirer Of personal beau
ty, like most other people who have
been blessed with Il share of it.
1t was not long after this that Ran
dali conveyed to Bryce definitely the
intelligence that Amy and Dillon were
intended for each other. Increasing
misery was Bryce's portion from that
hour, and the word "lucky'' coupled
with his name was bitter mockery.
There may be many reasons why a
woman should not marry a man though
she loves him. There is no reason
why she should marry him if she

full stern. She still retains her origi-
nal planking of three inch oak. while
her ribs are Of eight inch oak.
The tablet was placed in the outside
woodwork of the schooner's cabin, and
interested spectators Of the presenta-
ton were Mrs. Sibyl II. Lincoln, a
granddaughter of Captain Judthan Up
ton. commander Of the little privateer
during the war Of 1912. and Captain
George w. Romans Of Brooklyn,
whose uncle. Jonathan Romans, was
killed on the Polly during one of her
engagements with British vessels.
Mrs. Lincoln proudly displayed the
Polly's log book Of the war.
The Polly was one Of the fastest
craft atioat in 1912, when war was de-
clared, and is today, so far as her size
is concerned. Captain Upton hastily
QUILTED the craft with '.long TOMS"
trained over stern and bow, gave his
crew of twenty men pistols and cut
lasses and was ready for business. His
ancestors were Revolutionary fighters,
and Captain Upon thought he could
strike a blow or two for his country
as well and mako some money while
doing so.
So the Polly sailed from Salem
Mass.) harbor on Dec. z, 1872, armed
with letters of marque, and proceeded
to the coasts for British prey.
Two days later he encountered a full
rugged ship flying the union jack, and
after a short engagement the Polly
had achieved her first victory. Prizes
followed quickly after that until the
Polly's total amounted to eleven YES
sells and many thousands OF dollars.
Once the Polly was worsted by the
British frigate Phoebe, but was re-
captured a few days later by q sister
vessel.

tionary soldiers to defeat the British
was rewarded by comparative starva-
ton, he having foolishly decided his
German lands to a relative. But a mag
nifcent statue is soon to be unveiled
in his honor.
In the case of the two masted schoon-
er Polly, recently decorated with a
tablet setting forth the little priva-
teer's %conquests during the war of
1872, the original owner made money
and glory while alive, so the recent
ceremony at a New York wharf was
sentimental rather than essential.
Though born, or rather built, in 1905,
the Polly is still sailing the raging
main, Indifferent to the fact that she
could easily be blown out of the water
by warships Of wen the civil war
period. She can remember blithely

loves him not. All debts are Cancelled,
all gratitude vanishes, the wisdom Of
wise counselors is folly, the dictates
of worldly prudence are as rash as
madness, if they urge toward marriage
without love.
Such vas Bryce's philosophy, and
you may imagine his feelings at the
spectacle presented in Randall's home.
Mrs. Loring and Randall were crea-
lures Of Interchangeable decision. They
had decided Upon this marriage long
ago. The idea of it had grown into
their bones. AS for Amy, she had
know Dillon since her childhood and
had liked him and disliked him and
quarreled with him and made it up.
The girl exerted a strong attraction
upon Dillon. and there were moments
when he fancied himself deeply in
love with her. These were the mo-
ments of encouragement when he
seemed to see a way out of the trou-
bles into which he had fallen of late
years through a course of elaborate
duplicity and secret extravaganza.
For the most part he had too many
worries to think Of love. His pillow
was not haunted by images Of beauty.
He saw Shylocks and shysters and the
wolfsh faces of third rate Wall street
brokers, and even the helmeted po-
liceman and grim visaged jailer fig
ured In the worst Of his visions.
Dillon's situation and character were
unknown to Bryce, who charged his
constantly recurring doubt Of the
mans probity to the prompings OF
