seemed impossible that it could long
escape repetition of the disaster, but
somehow, it always did escape, and
that by wide margin; never once
had 1t passed near enough to another
vessel to see it.
And now for more than an hour the
silence had been uncannily constant,
broken only by the rumble Of the mo-
tor, the muted lisp of water slipping
down the side, the suck and gurgle Of
the wake.
Forebodings no less portentous than
Laws crawled in the mind of Barcus.
It was as likely as not that the life
boat was travelling straight out to sea.
And gasoline tanks can and oftentimes
do become as empty as an official

weather for holiday.
More than this, Mr.. Barcus was a
confirmed skeptic in respect of ma

intimate experience with the ways of

IF only knew" Barcus protested;
but my hands are tied, my wits are
as helpless as my eyes are blind.
There's nothing to go by-except the
bare possibility that the reef she
spoke Of may be Nortons. 1t doesn't
seem possible, but we may have made
that much southing. In that case,
we're about three miles off the main

how could Judith get there-and with

Don't ask me. Going on my expe-

bet that she was picked up by the
steamer that ran us down, and pro-
ceeded to make q prize OF it-or try

CHAPTER XVI.
The Island.

Not more than twenty seconds couli
from the shock of the motors treach
cry sufficiently to reverse the wheel
throttle down the carburetor and jump
out of the engine-pit.
But in that small space of time the
lifeboat and Alan Law had parted com
pany as definitely as though one OF
them had been levitated bodily to the
far side of the earth.
1t could not have been more than
a minute after the accident before
Barcus was guiding the boat over
what, going on his sense Of location
and judgment of distance, he could
have sworn was the precise spot
where Alan had disappeared, but with
out discovering a sign of him.
And for the next twenty minutes
he divided his attention between at
tempts to soothe and reassure the
half-distracted girl and efforts to
educe a reply from Alan by stentorian
hailing-with. as little success in the
one as in the other.
"Alan!" he shrieked at the top OF
his lungs. ALAN! Give hail to tell
us you're safe!"
There was a little pause; he was
racking his brains for some more NOV
ing mode of appeal when the answer
came in another voice-in the voice
of Judith Urine, clear, musical, effer-
vescent with sardonic humor:
BE at peace, little one-bleat no
more! Mr.. Law is with us-and safe
oh, quite, quite safe!"
In dumb CONSERVATION Barcus
sought the countenaDce of Rose. Her
eyes, meeting his, were blank with
despair. He shook his head helplessly
and let his hands dangle idly between
his knees.
With no way on her, the lifeboat
drifted with current Of unknown set
and strength
What can we do?" Rose implored.

terry switch.
And the aching void created in the
silence by the cessation of that uni
form drone was startling enough to
rouse even Rose Urine from her state
of semi-somnolence.
With look of panic she sat up,
thrust damp hair back from her eyes,
and nervously inquired
Whats the matter?"
Nothing" Barcus told her. II shut
the engine off-that's ALL"
Tempers were short in that hour,
and Alan was annoyed to think that
the rest Of his beloved should need

What did you do that for?' he de.
manded sharply.
Because l jolly well wanted to-
Barcus returned in a tone as brusque.
"Oh, you did-eh?"
Eyes, l did-eh! l happen to be
bossing this end Of the boat and to
have sense enough to realize there's
no sense at all in our wasting fuel the
way we cruising nowhere!"
WELL" Law commended, struck by
the fairness of this argument, but IN
able to calm his uneasiness-" just the
same, we might"
Eyes; of course, we might" Barcus
snapped. 1--WE might whole lot We
might, for instance, be heading for
Spain, for all you or know to the
contrary. And in such case, for one
respectfully prefer to have gas enough
to take us home again if ever this
da-blessed fog lifts!"
And for several seconds longer the
stiffness strangled their spirits in it's
ruthless grasp.
Then of a sudden cry shrilled
through the fog, so near at hand that
it seemed scarcely more distant than
over the side:
Alloy! Help! Alloy there! Help!"
So insistent, SO urgent was it's ac-
cent that, coupled with the surprise,
it brought the three as one to their
feet, all a-tremble, their eyes seeking

far. That's the answer; they were
picked up, stole a boat, and piled it
up on the reef"
"And there's no hope-!"
"Only Of the fog relenting. If we
could make the mainland and get
help :"
His accents died away into discon-
solate silence that was unbroken for
upwards of an hour.
So slowly the current bore the life
boat toward the beach and so still
the tide that Barcus never appreciated
they were within touch Of any land
until the bows grounded with a slight
jar and a grating sound.
With a cry Of incredulity he leaped
to his feet t. Land, by all that's
lucky!"-and STOPPING, lent hand to-
the girl, aiding her to rise.
Hardly had Rose had time to COM
prehend what had happened, when
Barcus was over the side and wres-
Ting with the bows, dragging the boat
farther upon the shoals.
She was, however, more than one
man could manage; and when her
stem had bitten a little more deeply
into the sands, Barcus gave over the
attempt and, lifting Rose down, set
her on dry land, then climbed back into
the vessel, rummaged out her anchor
and cable, and carried them ashore,
planting the former well up towards
the foot Of the cliff
And as he rose from this last labor
he was half blinded by the glare of the
westering sun as 1t broke through the
fog.
In less than five minutes the miracu-
lous commonplace was an acorn
plished fact; the wind had rolled the
fog back like scroll and sent it spin
ming far out to sea, while the shore
on which the two had landed was
deluged with sunlight, bright and
beautifully warm.
He showed thoughtful and consid-
crate countenance to the girl.
You're about all in?"
She nodded confirmation of this,
which was no more than simple truth.
Where are WEI" she added.
He made her party to his own per-
plexity.
You're not able to travel" he pur-
sued. do you mind being left alone
while I take turn up the beach and
nave a look round? We can't be far
rom some sort Of civilization; even
f it's an island there are no desert
sizes along this coast. I'll find some

By tacit consent both avoided men

bought was uppermost in the others

cave. You'll be warm and dry enough,
and secure from observation overhead.
Maybe you can even snatch a few
winks of sleep. :"
She negatived that suggestion with
a weary smile; no sleep for her until
sheer exhaustion overpowered her, or
she knew of Alan's fate.
And SO, reiterating his promise to
be gone no longer than absolutely
might be needful, he left her there.

The Masked Voice.

For matter of twelve hours the
fog, leaden, dank, viscOus, as inexOr-
able as the dominion of evil, had
wrapped the world in an embrace as
foul and noxious as the coils Of some
great gray, Shiny serpent.
Through it's sluggish folds the pom
derous, power-impelle lifeboat crept
at a snail's pace, its stem parting and
rolling back from either flank heavy
hearted sea Of gray.
In the bows a young woman rested
in a state of semi-exhaustion, her eyes
closed, he head pillowed on cork
belt life-preserver, her sodden gar
ments modelled closely to the slender
body that was ever and again shaken
from head to feet with the strength
OF long, shuddering respiration.
Seated on the nearest thwart, Alan
Law, chin in hand, watched over the
rest of this woman whom he loved
with a grimly hopeless solicitude. He
was in no happier case than she, so
far as physical comfort went-he was
in worse, since he might not rest.
Premonition of misfortune darkened
his heart with its impenetrable
shadow.
In the stern Tom Barcus presided
morosely over the steering gear; and
Law was no more jealousy heedful of
his sweetheart than Barcus of the
heayy-duty motor that chugged away

"And that" Barcus pursued sadly
"just proves she did come up-blame

"Ahoy! Where are you? Where

How does my voice bear?" Alan
called back.

Barcus 1nterpolated suspiciuosly.
ITO port" the response rang through
the fog. "Ctarboard your helm and
come in SLOWLY"
"Right-o! Half minute!" Alan re-
piled reassuringly.
Like hell" Mr.. Barcus muttered in
his throat as he jumped down into the
engine pit and bent over the fly-wheel.I
Leaping on the forward thwart and
balancing himself perilously near the
gunwale, Alan strained his vision
vainly against the opacity of the fog.
Cant make out anything" he
grumbled, looking back. "Start her
up-but slows the woodland ware

Nothing doing" Barcus retorted

retorted, shaking his arm impatiently

At this juncture the motor took
charge of the argument, ending It in

Then = boathook caught the back of
his shirt and dragged him for some
distance, until two strong hands caught
him beneath the armpits and held his
head above the water.
He looked up witlessly into the face
of Barcus, and, still bewildered, strug-
gled feebly.
The others voice brought him back
to his senses. Easy, old top! Take
it easy! You're all right now-rest q
minute, then help me get you aboard"
He obeyed, controlling his panic as
best he might; and presently, with
considerable assistance from Barcus,
contrived to scramble In over the gun
wales OF a boat which proved to be
the stolen lifeboat
Aside from Barcus and himself It
held one other person only-the wom-
an he loved, crumpled up and uncon-
scious in the bow.
He strove to rise and go to her, to
make sure that still she lived. Barcus
restrained and quieted him.
There! Easy, l say! She's all
right fainted-that's ALL She and
took the water in practically the same
spot and luck threw this blessed boat
my way within half a dozen strokes.
No trouble at all-in a manner of

But the steamer"
why fret about her? At the pace
she was making she couldn't have
stopped within half mile. Well be
all right now-with power to fetch us
to land"
But the others-Judith!" Alan sat
up and leaned over the gunwale,
searching an oily, leaden expanse spot
ted only with few splinters and bits
OF wreckage. Il left her out there
unconscious-shel drown, l tell you'll"
"And I'll tell you something" said
Mr.. Barcus severely. You'll lie quiet
and shut up or I'll dent your dome with
the shaft of an oar. Let her drown
and good job, l say! Don't you know
the meaning of enough? Merciful
heavens, man, you're the most insa-
table glutton for punishment ever!"
But Alan wasn't listening. His face
was as lightless as the waters that
swan beneath his lack-luster gaze.
There was a horror in his heart that
numbed even the sense of relief, of
deliverance, that penetrated his being
like shock of mortal pain.
Dead! Judith dead! Back there, in
the fog and the cold dead by
his hand!
