There was a rather unusually large
crowd in town yesterday when the
fact is taken into consideration that
it was the day after Thanksgiving
and what is usually duh day in trade
circles. The fact that it was the first
day of the month helped to iven
things up, but trade was very vigorous
and promising, as is shown by num-

CHAPTER TX.
Waiting for Dawn.

Cayley wheeled so that he headed
up into the wind and dropped, facing
me girl and with his back to her re-
treating assailant He had to drop al
most vertically in order to avoid be-
ing blown out into the sea after he
struck the ice. Even as it was, he
went slithering down the CLASSY slope
toward the water, and only managed
TO check his impetus by throwing him
self fiat on his face and clutching at a
hummock which CHANGED to offer him
a precarious hold. He had come down
all adr1ft' as sailors say, and his
monstrous wings, powerless for fight
put instinct with tapping perversity,
cost him momentary struggle while
he was getting them bundled into con-
trollable shape.
But, thanks as much to luck as to
skill, he presently found himself upon
his feet uninjured He at once set
out, making what haste he could,
across the ice toward where he had
last seen the girl, shouting up the
gale to her at the same time, to know
If she were safe. He heard no an
swer, but presently made her out, dim
", only pace or two away. His first
act then, even before speaking, was to
take out his pocket electric bulls-eye
and turn it full upon her.
Its just to make sure you're not
hurt-that | really got down here in
time" he apologized 81 wish might
have saved you the terror, but it
wasn't until you cried out that
knew"
I'm not hurt" she assured him.
I'm little dazed, that's all.-No,
not with fright, with wonder. | hard
ly had time to be frightened. But
thought you'd gone this morning, that
you had abandoned us just as you said
you would. And yet, when / cried
out just now, for help, it was you that
called to. And then you
came, out OF the sky, just as l was
sure you would For l was certain,
with the same certainty one has in
dreams. Now, that it's over, I find
myself wondering again if you are
real I'm not hurt at all"
Before he could find anything to say
in answer. they heard another shot,
muffled in the fog, from the direction
of the Aurora, and in prompt reply to
it, another volley.
Wasn't there firing before?' she
asked. Can any one be attacking the
yacht? There is no one there but
Tom, you know, and he's disabled
Can't we-can't I, get out there any
way? The boat came ashore in is
right here"
Without making her any answer, he
carried the unWieldly bundle his wings
made into the hut and left it there,
then returned to her and offered her
his hand.
We'll go down and look for your
boat" he said.
Along the waters edge they
searched, aide& by the little beam from
his bulIs-eye, the SOUND Of intermit-
tent f1ring from the yacht urging haste
all .ae while But it did not take long
to force the conviction upon them that
the boat was gone. Blown adrift,
most likely was Cayley's explanation.

What the Dawn Brought.

what the Dawn brought.
The man rose from his seat at the
foot of the bunk and, with restless
strides, began pacing back and forth
in the narrow limits of the little hut.
The girl lay still, but her eyes follow
ed him Her thoughts were keeping
step with his.
There's not much faith in the
world, that's true" she said presently.
And yet, that's not exactly the
worlds fault. When people haven't
anything else to walk by, they have
to walk by sight" she hesitated a
little there, feeling for the words she
wanted. ut was SO easy" she went
on at last, ito clear you of the thing
they thought you did yesterday.
Couldn't you give them chance to
believe the truth about the other
thing too? There must be something
you could reveal about that old charge
that would wash out the stain of it
something that would make Tom see
the falsity of it as clearly as / do"
No" he said; that was never pos
sible. It's less possible than ever
now"
That involuntary admission told her
much. If the thing she suggested
we're less possible now than it had been
before, then, somehow or other, the
vindication must have rested in Perry
Hunters hands. But the fnality of
his voice and the dumb agony she saw
in his face, as he paced back and
forth beside her, prevented her from
following up the admission, or urging
him any further.
He pulled himself up sharply and
looked at his watch ut will be day

take you away-you and this precious
find you've made In the meantime,
you must go to sleep. You hardly
slept at all while / was reading
II hardly dare go to sleep--not
really deep asleep. If did I'm afraid
you'd turn out to be all a dream, and
I'd find myself back in my stateroom
on the yacht" She was speaking half
in mockery, but there was an under
tone of seriousness in her voice.
Think how unlikely it is that all this
can have happened" she went on.
You said this morning you were go
ing to leave us, and l watched you
go.-How can it be anything but
dream that you were hanging aloft
there in the sky, above the fog, ready
to come plunging down when | cried
out for help?"
81 told you once he said not very
steadily that one Of us might be
dreaming, but that one was not you
You will promise, then she asked,
that if l go to sleep, I'll wake up
here and not on the yacht, and that
you won't have disappeared?

He seated himself once more at her
feet, switched off the fading light
from the bulls-eye and drew the
sleeves of her coat across his Shout

As he did so, he heard ragged vol

not fear, helped restore TO equilibrium
