Then there have been the efforts of
the galaxy of our sweet young society
girls, who for the past week have
given up social engagements to work
for the success of the society ball
given in the interest of the play
grounds movement and philanthropic
objects taken up by the State Fedora

gratifying TO know that their labors

be drawn that their own consciences
were their best reward.
There IS also another phase Of the
subject that speaks of future posi-

fitting themselves in time TO take the
burden of charitable enterprises
upon their own shoulders IN years to

The boat was provided with a com.
pass, and although she could see no
star, she was able to set course
which was directly at right angles to
the course of the yacht. She realized,
or at least she thought SO, that she
would be pursued. She believed that
the yacht would retrace its course.
She decided that those aboard her
would reason that she would endeavor
- nut as much distance al possible
between herself and the yacht, and
therefore she would sail straight away
from IL. Consequently, she went broad
of to starboard at right angles to the
other course. The gasoline tanks were
both full. Inasmuch as the boat had
been designed for extended cruising
in shallow waters, there was enough
fuel to keep the motor going for over
30 hours at full speed. The motor
was capable of developing at least ten
knots per hour. BY the same time
tomorrow night she would be 240
miles away from the present spot. The
yacht was going IL knots an hour. Her
escape would probably not be discov.
cred for ten hours. By that time the
yacht would be 100 miles away. They
would be $50 miles apart by morn
ing, measured on the hypotheuse. and
by night, who could tell? At any
rate, she had now done all that she
could.
Her condition was desperate; hel
prospects gloomy beyond expression
She was alone in q small power boat

which would be helpless, the sport o!
wind and waves, after perhaps 81
hours. That boat was alone in the
great expanse Of the Pacific ocean
Somewhere about there were islandi
probably. Indeed, on the charts those
seas were dotted with points Of land,
but they were small, inconsiderable
uninhabited, unknown. In that little
boat she might pass close by many
of them without seeing them. She had
provisions, such as they were, and
water sufficient perhaps for a weeA
or ten days. After that unless she
landed somewhere she would drift on
until she starved and died. If storm
came, the launch probably would not
survive it. Her chances Of escape, in
any event, were worse than problem.
atical. The end was almost certain.
But she was happy. The first real
ray of happiness which had entered
her soul since the beginning Of the
great awakening, which had culmin
ated in the frightful scene Of the
night, illumined her being. AS she sat
in the stern sheets, her hand on tbs
steering wheel, listening to the steady
drumming of the motor, seeing the
black water broken into foam by the
boats bows flash by her, keeping the
launch steady on her course by the
aid Of the compass needle. her eyes
turned ever and anon to the fast d.
minishing point Of light which marked
the rapidly disappearing yacht, and
she realized that she was free. She
had hurled out of her path-and how
she exulted in her own prowess; II
was something of a salve to her soul
for the wretched humiliations which
had been heaped upon it-she had
hurled out Of her path and stricken
down as any other animal might have
done him who had brought her to this
awful pass. She was away from him.
free from him. She was once more
so far as wind and wave allowed, the
master of her fate, the mistress Of hel
destiny.
She was glad in her heart, too, that
there were to be no physical conse
quences from her brief alliance. She
did not realize that there were to b.
other consequences which not even al
the water of the seas over which sht
foated could wash out. There was ,
> strange citation in her soul. She fel
as If in some way she had vindicatet
her right to be. There was something
yet in her philosophy and did oppor
tunity serve, could she get free from
tine dangers that encompassed her, sh,
! vowed that she would prove 1t.
All night long she stayed awake
keeping the launch in her course
~ When morning broke she was abse
lutely alone upon the ocean. Standing
erect upon a seat, from her low var
tage point she could see nothing bu
smoothly undulating sea. She break

tasted sparingly from her scanty store
and resumed her post at the wheel.
She was tired and sleepy, but while
the little engine was alive she could
not leave 1t to its own devices. She
must hold on her chosen course as
long as the motive power remained.
She could not lose moment while
that motor throbbed and beat. She
must be alive with 1t. There would
be time to sleep when it was ex.
hausted. She must put as many
leagues between her and pursuit by
holding the direct course as long as
was possible.
And so she sat there grimly, hands
clutching the wheel through the long
day and through the longer night and
we'll into the following morning. 1t
must have been half past ten on the
morning of the second day before the
motor stopped. The silence, after the
ceaseless drumming of a night, long
day, longer night and a still longer
morning, struck her with the same
strange sense Of shock. She calculated

3S hours and that she had gone $50
miles at least on her course. She had
seen nothing whatever Of the yacht
The chances that it would pick her
up, even II 1t came about and cruised
for her, lonely speck in the ocean,
were millions to nothing. At any rate,
she had done all she could. Her phil
Iosophy 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 pillow
and her straw hat tied over her face
to shield 1t from the sun. she instantly
dropped to sleep.

CHAPTER Viii.
Cast Up 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 it was
four o'clock in the morning. She had
slept unbrokenly since II o'clock the
morning before. Her sleep had been
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 scan 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 circllng sky line.
She sat in the boat musing 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 1t be-
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 fact
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 az she did so the
breeze sprang up. She judged that
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
cramped and stiff from having lain so
long on the hard floor. which only the
boat cloak, thick and heavy, made a
tolerable led,
The coming Of the breeze stimu-
lated her imagination. 1t was a gen
tie breeze. She noticed that 1t blew
from the direction whence she had
come by her compass course. If she
only had sail Of some kind the boat
would be driven along. She must
move somewhere. She had heard OF
ocean currents and drift but she
doubted whether the boat was moving
at least sufficiently fast or in any
definite direction to make any differ
ence. Unless she got somewhere, she
would slowly starvs and die jus,
where she was. She stepped forward In
the boat and examined the oars. There
was a sort of deck forward ovel
the gasoline tanks. She thought tina,
she might make shift with the remains
Of the painter, of which she had &
good length, to fasten one of the oar.
In an upright position against 1t
There were bolts and rings of various
sorts on this little deck. She could
: step the handle Of the oar between
cleats or ribs at the bottom. At leas
she would try.

grew any stronger her sail, service
able as 1t had proved and stout as it
was. would be torn to pieces. The
silk braid had done splendid service,
but she marked that 1t was now
strained to the breaking point. Again
the helplessness OF her position came
upon her. She could not take down
the sail. In the first place she was
afraid to leave the helm and in the
second place she realized that II she
started to furl it she could only do 1t
by cutting the lashing and at the first
