with a start and springing to his feet,
he saw a ray Of sunshine splashed
golden upon the opposite wall Of the
hut. It must have been light for
hours.
Very silently. very cautiously he un'

his revolver and spun It's cylinder un.

He pulled the outer door little way
open and glance slantwise up the
beach. The brilliant light dazzled him
and made II hard to see: but appar-
emily there was no one there. Step
ping outside. he turned his gaze in
land. along the foot Of the cliff. His
mind was entirely preoccupied with
the danger OF a sudden rush Of enc

That is how 1t happened that. for

door and stepped outside. he did not
cast n single glance seaward. He
did not look in that direction. until

And she cried out: this time In ter

him to do. he started back suddenly.
and himself cried out!
For faint circle Of light. waving.

Looking up. he saw overhead a

Then from up there. overhead. he
heard q voice-a quiet voice. I'm

Al he did 20. he heard q ragged vol.
ley Of shots from the direction Of the
Aurora. This sound Of plain human
fighting. which he understood and did
not fear. helped restore to equilibrium
his mind. which a moment before had
been tottering to absolute destruction.
Once he could get back to his boat
and feel the oars under his hands
again-once he found himself pulling
out toward the yacht, no matter how
desperate the odds awaiting him there
might be against him, he would. he
felt, be himself once more.
He ran on and on down the beach.
He had not passed his boat. he knew: !:
but he finally realized that he had
passed the place where he had brought

Il hardly dare go to sleep-not
really deep asleep. II did I'm afraid
you'd turn out to be all 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 I watched you
go.-How can 1t be anything but a
dream that you were hanging aloft
there In the sky. above the fog. ready
to come plunging down when I cried
out for help7"
Il 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 II I go to sleep. I'll wake up
here and not on the yacht. and that
you won't have disappeared?"
Il PROMISE" he said seriously.
He seated himself once more at her
feet, switched OF the fading light
from the bulls-eye and drew the
sleeves of her coat across his shoul-
ders. Good night" he said.
She answered drowsily.

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. 1T was so easy" she went
on at last, ito clear you of the thing
they thought you did yesterday.
Couldn't you give them a chance to
believe the truth about the other
thing too? There must be something
you could reveal about that old charge
tha: would wash out the stain of it
something that would make Tom see
the falsity OF 1t as clearly as I do"
NO" he said: that was never pos
sible. It's less possible than ever
now"
That Involuntary admission told her
much II the thing she suggested
were less possible now than 1t had been
before. then. somehow or other, the
vindlcation must have rested in Perry
Hunters hands. But the fnality of
his voice and the dumb agony she saw
In his face. MS 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. 1T will be day
light in two hours now" he said.

Cayley wheeled so that he headed
up Into the wind and dropped. facing
the 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

he was getting them bundled into con-

But, thanks as much to luck a. to

his feet uninjured. He at once set
out, making what haste he could.
across the ice toward whore he had
last seen the girl. shouting up the
gale to her at the same time. to know
II she were safe. He heard NO an

act then. even before speaking. was to
take out his pocket electric bull's-eye
and turn It full upon her.
Its just to make sure you're not
hurt-that I really got down here in

Along the waters edge they

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

Il know girl who once spent q
vacation with a victim of this weak
ness. and she says she came home
absolutely exhausted from deciding
everything, from what Marion should
put on in the morning and what she
should eat for breakfast to whether
she wanted to go to bed early or stay
up and write letters.
This last illustrates one of the
aueerest quirks about these folk.
They don't simply ask other peoples
| opinions on questions in which a
third persons judgment and viewpoint
| is valuable, but they help in decisions
whether the only doubtful quantity is
their own need and desires.
To be so pigheaded that you never
take advice on any subject is weak
ness. of course.
/ But to be so lazy that you are al
ways trying to make other people do
your own legitimate work of making
| up your mind for you is as great one.
1 OF course. few people do this to the
| extent l have described. but every one
| is acquainted with people who have
| milder cases of this kind of atrophy.
Look before you leap" is good
motto. but it doesn't mean to take a
dozen looks and ask all your friends to
look, too. before every little leap.
Learn to make all small decisions
promptly and silently and not bother
a busy world with questions you are
quite capable of answering yourself
and you will have acquired a habit that
will strengthen both your Judgment
and your will power.
