A young woman cast ashore on q lone
ly island, finds a solitary inhabitant, a
young white man, dressed like a savage
and unable to speak In any known Ian
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
highly specialized product of a leading
university. Her writings on the sex prob
lem attracted wide attention. The son OF
"a multkmillionaire becomes infatuated
with her and they decide to put her the
cries into practice. A few days on his
yacht reveals to her that he only pro
fessed lofty ideals to possess her. While

IL have one request to make Of
you, Kate, before I go" said Langford.

1T is very easy. VIII you stay in
this cave for two hours?"

the beach. The yacht will be gone"

don't mean to stay here on the
island?"

"Good-byei"
She extended her hand to him. He
seized 1t In his own trembling grasp
and kissed 1t. He remained a mo-
ment with his lips pressed to her hand
and she laid her other hand upon his
Bonded head. He heard her lips muir
muring words of prayer. He released
her hand, stopped lower, laid some
thing at her feet, turned and reso-
lutely marched out into the sunlight,
The woman lifted her hand, the
hand he had kissed. 1t was wet with
tears. The man had left her with a
breaking heart. She sat down upon
the sand to think her thoughts during
her two hours wait. Her bare foot
touched something metallic. She bent
over and picked 1t up. It was his
watch. He had placed 1t there. The
simple kindness, the spontaneous gen,
crosby Of the little action moved her
as had not all his pleas, and she min
gled her own tears with his upon her
hand.
She looked at the watch after Q
while and found that, lore than two
hours had elapsed, nearly three. The
latter part of the time had fed swiftly
In thoughts of him. She was hungry
and thirsty, too. 1t vas noon. She
went out on the sands. The yacht

not have gotten below the hori

around the island and away in that
direction.
There was a pile Of boxes ant

and opened one Of the e chests. I

from the sense of bereavement ever
growing more keen and nor poig-
nant as the period of bereavement
heightened and which sprang from a
consciousness of imperfections and
failures for which no after achieve
ment could atone.
1t had not been difficult to establish
his rights. Whitaker and the chap
lain, armed with the dispositions, had
taken the man across the continent
when the ship had been put out of
commission at San Francisco, and pre-
sented him to his uncle, the Charnock
in residence in that great house on
the Nansemond shore overlooking that
estuary of the James by Hampton
Roads. The old man, childless and
alone, had welcomed him gladly. The
newcomer was of the Charnock blood.
1t was a strange moment for the is
lander when they took him into the
great drawing-room and showed him
the pictures Of his father and of his
mother. He was the living image OF
the man, tempered with some Of the
mothers sweetness. This remarkable
likeness-indeed he was not unlike
his uncle as well-coupled with the
material proofs, the ring, the Bible,
the evidence Of the ship, together with
what was known, removed every lin
gering doubt from the minds of those
most concerned.
The family was reduced to those
two, the uncle and the nephew. The
old mar formally and legally recog-
nized the relationship and offered to
transfer the property rightfully his,
which since the discovery Of coal had
increased enormously in value, to the
newcomer, but Charnock would have
none of 1t then. He recognized his
unfitness to deal with such things. If
the older man would retain 1t, he
could give it to him at his death.
Meanwhile he could teach and train
him how to use 1t. Bereft Of his one
guide, his one inspiration in life, he
would need wise counsel and careful
leading indeed.
In addition to the formal recogni-
ton, the elder man legally adorted the
younger and constituted him the heir
to his own property which was almost
as extensive and as valuable as that
which rightly belonged to the nephew,
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 SUI

Starting a Rubber Plant.

Rubber plants r usually started
by a method known as messing. A
cut is made In q young branch and a
wedge put in 1t to keep the surfaces
apart. A bunch Of sphagnum moss is
then fastened around the stem over
the cut, the moss being kept wet. AS
soon as the young roots appear on the
outside Of the mos the young branch
is cut of and potted UP.
