CHAPTER vI-contlnued.

She began to realize how helpless
she was. Under the inspiration of a
belief, which was as honest as it was
mistaken, she had put herself in the
power of this man. Even if she were
ashore, there would be no one to
whom she could appeal, and here on
the ship she was helpless. Lingering
remains of better things had kept him
from the last resort of the tyrant--
forcel-but how long these would be
operative in restraint she could not
tell. She fancied not for long. What
should she do then?
She saw the end coming when in his
anger he resorted to drink, to drink
which exploded the last vestige of his
philosophy, however he had protested
it. She was frightened beyond meas
ure when she realized the depths to
which he had sunk and to which, In
spite of herself, he had dragged her.
What further descent was before her?
She did not even yet abandon that
philosophy which had served her so
i'll. She chung to that with the more
tenacious pride because of its very
weakness, but she loathed mankind
On that yacht he summed UP for her
the whole human race, and she hated
him and it. To what sorry pass had a
few weeks practical experience re-
duced her!
She had begged and pleaded with
him to alter the yachts course, but
he had sworn he would go farther
south into those unknown seas and
keep her there until she crawled to
his feet. So the long hours dragged
on. The inevitable rupture drew
nearer. At last it mt In its details
it was horrible, but there was in Il
a great relief after all.

were millions to nothing. At any rate,
she had done all she could. Her phil
osophy for once stood her in good
stead. There was nothing more to be
done. She was dead for want Of
sleep. The sky had been slightly over
cast since she had left the yacht, but
there had been no storm and weather
conditions looked just as they had and
seemed to be permanent.
Taking the precaution to examine
the gasoline tanks and finding that in
deed they had been drained of the last
drop, she carefully closed and locked
them, thereby assuring her salvation,
and spreading the boat cloak in the
stern sheets with her bag for a pillow
and her straw hat tied over her face
to shield it from the sun, she instantly
dropped to sleep.

he always sat a depressing lonesome
ness. 1t seemed as desolate as an old
country house when its occupants
have departed and Its windows are
nailed up.
After three days absence, the old
man entered the office. The en-
ployes expected him to take his chair
and go on with his figures. He didn't,
He walked into the private office Of

When he came out he walked to his

farewell. Then he went out.
In the last fewa days his 81 years
had at last forced him to recognize
their claim. He had voluntarily re-
tired. For the rest Of his life he Is
to get a persian of half his salary.

their wives; because what happens in
the army is as much Of a domestic
as an official affair. Both men are
surgeons and the extraordinarily rapid
rise of the two doctors has never
been regarded with enthusiasm by
those of the line. Both men are re-
markable for their executive ability,
and are regarded with great friend
illness by statesmen. Both are New
Englanders, General Wood being All
Massachusetts man, while General
.Ainsworth was born in Vermont.
Only one man who entered the
army as a medical officer has Travelled
further than General Ainsworth. That
man is General Wood. General Aims
worth is a native of Woodstock, vt,
and was graduated from the medical
school of the University of New York
in 1874. He Immediately entered the
army as an assistant surgeon. In
1892 he was made colonel and chief
of the record and pension office Of
the war department. From that time
on his advance has been by leaps and
bounds. He was made a brigadier
general in 1899, and in 1904 was made
a major general and military secre-
tary of the army. (.
1t was while serving as chief of the
record and pension system that Aims
worth first attracted the attention Of
army officers and politicians and
gave evidence Of the unusual exec
utive ability which has been largely
responsible for his rapid rise.
He was n Of the first officials of
the government to evolve and perfect
a card system. Some say that he is
an even better card indexer than
Postmaster General Frank E. Hitch
cock, who has gained fame in that
role. He did away with an infinity
Of useless red tape and abolished
many cumbersome methods that he
found in vogue. In a short time and
with apparent ease he built up a sys-
tenn Of so, 900, 900 record cards by the
use of which he could find out in two
minutes all about any man who ever
served In the United States army or
navy, either as a regular or as a vol
unteer, from the days of Bunker Hill
to the days Of Kettle Hill and later.
The fame of his system soon made
General Ainsworth popular with all
who had business with the war de-
partment. When a senator or rep
resentative receives a request from
some woman in his district for the
record Of an ancestor in the Revolu-
tionary war, upon which she depends
to get into the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, the worried legisla-
tor telephones General Ainsworth
and within an hour General Aims
worth has the record ready for him.
In consequence Of his executive abil-
ity and willingness to oblige he has
hosts Of friends in and out Of congress
who are glad to advance his fortunes
in any way possible.
General Woods most powerful po-
litica1 backing was due to his close
J friendship with Theodore Roosevelt
which greatly accelerated his rapid
rise in the army. The two met In
the west and later served together in
the Spanish war.

CHAPTER VIII.
Cast un by the Sea.

Day was just breaking again when
the woman awoke. Reference to her
watch which she had taken the pre-
caution to wind just before she re-
tired disclosed the fact that 1t was
four o'clock in the morning. She had
slept unbrokenly since IL O'CLOCK the
morning before. Her sleep had been a
stupor of utter and complete exhaus-
ton. Added to the tremendous physi-
cal strain of keeping awake and at
tending to the duty to which she had
enforced herself had been the further
strain of the terrible events on the
night in which she left the yacht, and
the apprehension of pursuit which had
| been continually with her. Her first
motion, indeed, was to rise to her feet
and c the horizon. With relief in
describable her scrutiny discovered
nothing. She was still alone. Neither
the yacht nor any other vessel nor
any smallest speck of land was sill
houetted against the circling sky line.
She sat in the boat musing a long
time and then woke to the fact that
she was hungry. Again she satisfied
her appetite sparingly from her scanty
and rapidly diminishing store of food
and drink, and then putting the past
resolutely behind her, hoping and per-
haps fancying by some exercise of her
will power finally she could put it be-
i hand her forever, she gave serious
thought to her condition.
She realized at last that she in
the hands-another would have said
of God! she said Of chance. The TACT
that she was so helpless; that all her
learning and all her training, and
all her skill and all her power were
of no avail, made the situation the
more CALLING. Was there nothing
that she could do? She reflected
deeply and as she did so the
; breeze sprang up. She judged thai
the period during which she had slept
had been calm and still. Any violent
rocking of the boat would have awak
ened her. Indeed, she felt bitterly
Il cramped and stiff from having lain SO
long on the hard floor, which only the
boat cloak, thick and heavy, made a
tolerable bed.
> The coming of the breeze stimu
lated her imagination. 1t was a gen
: tie breeze. She noticed that it blew
: from the direction whence she hac
: come by her compass course. II she
only had a sail of some kind the boa
y would be driven along. She mus
y move somewhere. She had heard o
. ocean currents and drift but sht
doubted whether the boat was moving
. at least sufficiently fast or in an!
3 definite direction to make any differ
ence. Unless she got somewhere, sh'
would slowly starve and die jus
where she was. She stepped forward Il
= the boat and examined the oars. Ther
y was a sort of a deck forward owe

u she might make shift with the remain

= good length, to fasten one of the oar
~ in an upright position against !
y There we're bolts and rings of variou
y sorts on this little deck. She coul
:. step the handle of the oar betwee
cleats or ribs at the bottom. At leas

was high out of the water; else her
weight would have pressed 1t down
and the back wash from the yacht
would perhaps have swamped the
launch.
At any rate, she succeeded, although
after she got her foot in the bows she
slipped and fell. But that she fell
straight aft upon the cloak and bun
dies she would have hurt herself Sc
verely. If she had not fallen that way,
If she had pitched to the right or the
left she would have gone overheard
and that would have been the end,
for she knew that she would have died
rather than appeal to that ship for
help. She was fearful that the noise
of her fall might have attracted the
attention Of some one on the deck,
but the poop Of the yacht was u.s.
ually deserted at night and it was un-
likely that any one would be up there.
Scrambling to her feet, she drew
her knife and severed the taut rope
that held the launch to the yacht. 1t
parted instantly. She vas whlrled
backwards and sideways with a sud-
denness that again almost threw her
out of the boat. For one agonizing mo
ment the launch lay full in the broad
beam of light that proceeded from the
bright cabin window she had left. For
one agonizing moment Of suspense she
hung there and then the swirl Of the
, wave carried her into the darkness.
She lay directly in the wake of the
yacht, and the launch was pitched up
and down by the waves made by the
/ rapidly moving ship with a violence
Of motion that was sickening. There
were a pair of oars in the boat, but
she did not break them out. She just
drew herself Down in the stern sheets
and lay there waiting. She knew that
the clatter Of the motor could be heard
a long distance in so still a night and
over so still a sea, and therefore, al
though her impulse was to start it at
once, she restrained herself and
waited, watching the yacht rapidly dis.
appear. She could mark her course
easily by the light from that cabin
window. Her ear was keen and she
listened until she could no longer de
tect the beat and throb of the steam
er's engines. Then she rose and
started the motor.
The boat was provided with a com
pass, and although she could see M
!, star, she was able to set a course
: which was directly at right angles t
} the course Of the yacht. She realized
or at least she thought so, that sh,
| would be pursued. She believed tina
I the yacht would retrace its course
She decided that those aboard he
| would reason that she would endeavo
+ to put as much distance as possible
. between herself and the yacht, an,
!. therefore she would sail straight ava,
from 1t. Consequently, she went broa'
off to ~starboard at right angles to tn
r other course. The gasoline tanks wer
9 both full. Inasmuch as the boat ha

fuel to keep the motor going for owe
