How long do you think it will be

man, after they had sat silent on the
hill to windward Of the fire watching
the trail of smoke.
I should think that it would be per-
haps an hour or little more. Why?'
she returned. after a moment pause.
Are you anxious to have them here ?"
For the life Of her she, could not
keep the bitterness out Of her ques-
ton. The man looked at her in sur

before him ia the years they had been

singularly simple, free and unre-

She drew her hand away from his
and ran rapidly to the beach. Nat
urally he followed, overtaking her in
a few swift steps and running as was
his won't by her side. II he had
stopped to indulge in the luxury of
determination, he would have found
his feelings in such a turmoil of such
strange emotions as would have defied
classification and description OF but
two things was he very clear; that he
loved this woman, and that in some
way. for causes unfathomable and not

By the woman's directions just be-

They ran to the beach opposite the
entrance and waved the palm branches
above their heads. It was too far for
the voice to carry and there was toe
much noise from the breakers on the
reef if the distance had been shorter
But the men in the boat evidently
caught sight of the signals and under
stood them. for she was presently
about and in few moments they saw

lagoon through the one entrance to the
barrier. The man and woman stood

hatred and resentment in which the
man Of the island participated. What
sorry jest had blind fate played upon

She moved farther away from her
companion under the constraint OF
these thoughts. and when he would
have approached her nearer, she
famed upon him in sudden anger that
left him appalled,. But under the in
fiuenee Of it he kept his distance. She
saw the way Of the yacht checked, She
saw the boat dropped from the dayits
and manned by the men. She saw a
figure, too far on to recognize, but
which she OWNED must be his. de
scend the battens from the gangway.
She saw the little boat headed toward
the shore. Then she turned to the
man. He was standing with folded
arms, his brow black as midnight,
staring out to sea- He knew nothing
understood nothing, comprehended
nothing, suspected nothing. His only
realization was that she. his gentle
goddess. whom he had loved. was
angry with him, so far as he was con
cerned, without rhyme or reason or
cause.
The stoppage of the ship. the lower
ing OF the boat, It's approach to the
island were now matters Of indiffer-
ence to him. She was angry. He
could think Of nothing else and there
was bewilderment in his dismay
Nothing had given him power to solve
the enigma OF her conduct. Where she
gazed with serious intentness. he
looked listlessly. Her heart smote
her again. The sense of justice upon
which she prided herself came to her
rescue. She stepped close to him and
laid her hand upon his arm.
Forgive me-" she murmured and
her heart leaped within her bosom to
meet the great flush of pleasure in his
face as he responded instantly to her
caress and her appeal.
You said you knew men," the man
asked as they threaded their way
through the trees and won the hill
along the familiar path. do you know
anyone on that ship. do you think?"
The question was an absurd one IN
der almost any other circumstances
than that. Yet chance had shown him
the one point in her armor and his
innocent and casual question had
driven into her soul a stab. Evasion
should have been easy. Indeed. his
trust in her was so great that deceit
would have been simple. But she had
always told him the truth and she
could not begin now.
Yes" she said, Il think do"
He stopped abruptly, illumination
and anguish, the light Of pain in his
soul.

'Why?" asked the man sternly.
Had he injured you in some way?"
In the greatest way" she answered
with deepening gravity. And here her
sense of justice pricked her. But It
was partly my fault
And have you forgiven him?" he
asked with little softening of his
voice.
To him forgiveness was as natural
and inevitable as breathing. In his
ethics there was no other course. He
had never had anything to forgive. be

they parted and where was the won

put to him with the direct simplicity Of
the American public through its impe
riOus representatives, the reporters
And to these questions Mr.. Langford
could return no adequate answer what
ever except the truth. which he could
GOT bring himself to tell He de

her present whereabouts. and refused
TO say anything further privately OF
in public. Miss Brenton had no near
relations; what was everybody's bust
ness was nobody's, and presently pub
lie interest in her declined. She and
her philosophy were practically for.
gotten by all but Langford himself.
Fortune, which had done him some
evil turns, here, however, interposed to
his advantage. The lady who legally
bore his name departed this life and
left him free man. Brute though he
had been. Langford was not without
some strong idea of honor and de-
cency. Indeed, he had enjoyed long
and undistributed hours of meditation
upon his sins of omission and commits
sion during his period of GONZALES
cence. and the calm consideration of
character and career had done him
good. At heart, in spite of his brutal
conduct, for which drink had largely
been responsible, he was a gentleman,
and capable of things fine and high
under the stimulus of some really
great emotion. He had come to real
ize. to put it mildly, what an awful
fool he had been to say nothing of his
villainy. What had led him to this
realization had been the remembrance
OF the hours he had passed with Kath-
arfne Brenton before the clouds had
arisen which had eliminated in that
awful storm, the recollection of which
fairly made him shudder However,
he had deceived her by professed ad-
herence to her wild theories and i'm

There had been a separation on lib

agreed, and he had no lingering re-

Her death was only a relief to him.
He felt that he owed reparatiOn to

willing 70 pay the debt because he was

he had done, and to beg her to forgive
him and marry him.
The death of his father and the ne
eessity for the administration Of the
vast interests of the bonanza kings
estate prevented him from at once
engaging upon the search which he
promised himself he would make, but
he expedited matters. sometimes to
his own loss, as rapidly as he could,
and after nearly a years stay in San
Francisco, he found himself in posi-
ton TO undertake his quest For a
year thereafter he and the Southern
Cross traversed the unexplored, unvis-
tied waters Of the South seas. He
had landed upon island after island
which he had examined with minute
particularly. Some he had found in
habited by natives, whom, through in
terpreters he had procured, he Ques-
toned unavailingly. He ran across
stray vessels trading among the is
lands. and through them with con-
stantly increasing, ever widening me-
diums, he carried on his search, but
without result. In thus sweeping the
Pacific, he visited everything that was
charted. and all that he could find
that was not, aud was now hOmeward

cause of the eagerness, with the ex-
