SYNOPSIS.

A young woman cast ashore on a lone
ly island, finds a solitary inhabitant, a
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 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
mult-millionaire becomes infatuated
with her and they decide to put her theo-
ries Into practice. With no other cere-
mony than a 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 q 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 beacon to summon it.
Langford, on his yacht, sights the beacon
and orders his yacht put in. The woman
recognizes the yacht and tells her COM
panion that a man on board had injured
her in the greatest way. Langford recog-
nizes Katharine. He tells the man that
she had been his mistress, and narrowly
escapes being killed.

mo, by heaven!" cried Whitaker.
Now, this conversation had been
carried on with three auditors, or
groups of auditors, besides those par
ticipating; Langford's yachtsmen, the
marines and seamen from the Chey-
enne, for the boat was against the
shore, and the man of the island
Whitaker first awoke to the situa-
ton.
81 beg your pardon" he said, but
would it not be better to continue this
conversation priyately?"
II think So" returned Langford.
mo" said the man of the island,
addressing the lieutenant commander
for the first time, you and these men
are the world. / want the story told
where all the world may hear"
Whittaker's surprise at this remark
was scarcely less than he had expe-
rienced when the woman addressed
him. Who was this splendid, godlike
form of man standing glooming by the
womans side, a silent, eager listener
TO all that TRANSFERRED? What had he
to do with the question that he as
sumed this tone and manner of au-
thority? The officer turned toward the
woman.
81 think said he quietly, that the
lady should be allowed to decide"
my wish is my friends WISH" said
the woman laying her hand softly
upon the mans arm.
Whitaker observed that the man
shook 1t on nervously, but the point
being settled. there was no further APP
peal.
Pray proceed with your story, Mr..
Langford," he continued.

this juncture. She, too, would be
frank. This grave and middle-aged Of
ficer should hear all. HE had pro
fessed his belief in those views, which,
if you have read Fate and Destiny
you realize that I entertained"
The officer bowed.
And have you abandoned them
now?" he asked.
Absolutely" was the firm answer.

THANK God, say I, too" continued
Langford. yet l was not altogether
a sham or lie. 1t was true that

The lieutenant commander flashed a
contemptuous look at him at which
Langford WINGED, but he went on. He
was determined to make an absolute

but l was under the spell Of Miss

the officer, gravely, as matter Of
course.

late now. She summoned her cour-
age, and realizing that dignity, after
all, is not made of clothes or conyen-
lions, once more addressed him.
Sir" she said, my name is Kath,

we'll think, savage, but castaway."

ture; sis it possible that you are the

He was very much embarrassed. II
was Langford who took up the tale.
"Since you know so much, Mr.. Whit
taker, you may as well hea" the rest
Indeed, l am anxious that the world
should hear it. Miss BreDton and l.
we-er-dld not believe in marriage
and we went away--together."
Every word was agony to Langford
who was a proud man; It was worse
than agony to Katharine Brenton, who
was a proud woman; and II was worst
agony of all to the man of the Is
land. But Langford persisted. He did
not care how he hurt himself. Indeed
he rather luxurlated in the conscious
ness of his own pain. 1t WAS part OF
his expiation. He realized that he
would have to hurt Karnarine, but per
haps the very keenness Of her pain
would make her realize her position
and he wanted to win her. now that
he had found her and seen Der, more
than ever. Nor was his passion q
base one. Again he was ashamed OF
what he had already said, so he spoke
the more frankly. He gave noCthought

simple, natural and primitive Whit.
takers glance fell upon a well-nigh per.
feet woman. The constraining infiu.
ences of civilization had been SO long
absent that nature had time and op-
portunity to reassert its claim. She
was tall, exquisitely modelled. Her
bare arms might have supplied those
missing from the Venus of Milo; her
limbs, which the short tunic to her
knees left exposed, were perfect in
their symmetry and strength; her feet
were such as those to which ancient
Greece had bowed; her hands were
shapely, graceful, yet strong; her dark
eyes looked at him fearlessly; her
dark hair rose like a somber, cloudy
crown above her brow. The fierce sun,
the open air, the wild wind had not
materially altered the clear, slightly
olive pallor of her face. The woman
had been. beautiful before. Now that
nature had had free sway, she was
nobly lovely. She had stood a little in
the rear Of the man at first and the
lieutenant commander had not partic.
ularly observed her When she spoke,
she stepped into the open. He stared
and stared amazed
Indeed, the direct intensity Of his
glance added a sudden new percep.

missing years and caught her in its
arm. The red flashed into her cheek;
beneath her rude vest her bosom rose
and fell. Her instinct for the moment
was to fly. She wished that she had
put on those treasured garments which
she had kept for a scene like this in
that cave all those years. 1t was too

Opportunity Of suffraglst.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
of the magazines how the women OF
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.
