and yon, from one swirl to another,
like a chip of wood. Then everything
grew blank.
Fortunately for her the master OF
the fishing schooner was at the time
standing on his quarterback by the
wheel, squirting through his glass at
the liner and envying the ease and
comfort OF those on board her. The
mate, sitting on the steps and smok-
ing his turning-in pipe, saw the mas
ter lean forward suddenly, lower the
glass, then raise 1t again.
Lord a'mighty!"
whats the matter, cap'nf"
Jake, in Gods name, come ere an
take a peek through this glass. I'm
dreamin!"
The mate jumped and took the
glass. Where away, sir?"
"A pint on tn sta'board bow. See
somethin' white bobbin' up?"
"YessirI Looks like some one
dropped a bolster r a piller over
board. Gods whiskersi" he
broke on.
Then 1 amt really SEEM things"
cried the master. eli, y lubbers!" he
yelled to the crew; Tower tn dory.
They's a woman in tn water out there.
/ seen her leap tn rail. Look alive!
Sharp's tn word! Mate, you go
long"
The crew dropped their tasks and
sprang for the davits, and the star
board dory was lowered in shipshape
style.
It takes a good bit of seamanship
to maui a body out OF the sea, into
a dancing bobtailed dory, when one
moment IL is climbing frantically heav-
onward and the next heading for the
bottomless pit. They were very ten
der with her. They laid her out In the
bottom of the boat, with the life buoy
as a pillow, and pulled theoretically
for the schooner. She was alive, be-
cause she breathed; but she did not stir
so much as an eyelid. 1t was stir
bit of work, too, to land her aboard
without adding to her injuries. The
master ordered the men to put her in
his own bunk, where he nearly stran-
gled her by forcing raw brandy down
her throat.
well, she's alive, anyhow"
When Florence finally opened her
eyes the gray of dawn lay on the sea,
dotted here and there by the schooners
of the feet, which seemed to be hang
ing in midair, as at the moment there
was visible to the eye no horizon.
Don't seem T. recognize nothin'."
"Mebbe she's got fever" suggested
the mate, rubbing his bristly chin.
Fever nothin'! Not after bein' in
tn water half an hour. Mebbe she hit
one o. them wooden floats we left
Them dinged liners keep on crowdin'
u.s." growled Barnes, with fisher
mans hate for the floating hotels.
Went by without a toot. See 'er,
jes' like tn bankers wife goin' t
church on Sunday? A mile minute;
fog or no fog, it's all the same t
them. They run us down an never
stop. What tn tarnation we goin'
to do? She'll half t stay aboard till
tn run is over. / can't afford t yank
up my mudhook this time o. day."
Guess she can stand three r four
days in our company, smellin' oil

The mate stepped over to the bunk
and gingerly ran his hand over the
girls head. Gods whiskers. cap'n,

s:.5siEyiag Jones what had hap
pened. The outlook was anything but
cheerful. But vague hope awoke in
his heart. If they were still after him
might it not signify that Florence
lived.
Meantime Braine had not been idle.
According to Vroon the girls memory
was in bad shape; so he had not the
least doubt of bringing her back to
New York without mishap. Once he
had her there the game would begin
in earnest. He played his cards ex-
ceedingly well. Steaming up into the
little fishing harbor with a handsome
yacht in itself would allay any dis
trust. And he wore capital disguise,
too. Everything went well till he
She gave startled cry and ran over
to Barnes, clinging to him wildly.
"No, mol" she cried.
Now what, my child?" asked the
sailor.
She shook her head. Her aversion
was inexplicable.
Come, my dear; can't you see that
it is your father?" Braine turned to
the captain. "She has been like this
for year. Heaven knows if she'll
. ever be in her right mind again."
sadly 81 was giving her an ocean
voyage, with the kindest nurses pos
sible, and yet she jumped overheard.
Come, Florence"
The girl wrapped her arms all the
tighter around Barnes neck.
An idea came into the old sailors
head. "Of course, sir, we got proof
thet she's your daughter?"
PROOF" Braine was taken aback.
Eyes; somethin' t. prove that you're
her father. 1 got skinned out of a
sloop once because 1 took a mans
word at its face value. Black an
white, an on paper, says I, hereafter"
But 1 never thought of such a
thing" protested Braine, beginning
to lose his patience 81 can't risk
sending to New York for documents.
She is my daughter, and you will find
it will not pay to take this peculiar
stand"
I'm black an white, r y can't have
her"
Braine thereupon rushed forward to
seize Florence. Barnes swung Flor
ence behind him.
Il guess she'll stay here a leetle
longer, sir"
Time was vital, and this obstinacX

and they've kidnapped her right under
your nosel What was the number OF
that carp
"Cut out that line of talk, young fell
1ah; I know my business. They had
the proper documents"
but you hadn't brains enough to In
uuire whether they were genuine or
not! You waitl" shrilled the chauf-
feur. III have you broken for this
work" He wheeled and ran back to
his car, to find Susan and the countess
in a great state of agitation They
got her, they got her! And 1 swore
on the book that they never should, so
long as I drove the car"
Susan wept, and. the countess tried
In vain to console her.
And when Jones was informed he
frightened even the countess with the
snarl OF rage which burned across his
lips. He tore into the hall, seized his
hat, and was gone. Not word OF re-
proach did he offer to the chauffeur.

made Braine furious. He reached
again for Florence.
Clear out O. here. r show your aus
thority," growled Barnes.
She goes with me, or you'll re-
gret it."
"All right But 1 guess tn law
won't hurt me none. I'm in my rights.
There's the door, mister"
Il refuse to go without her!"
Barnes sighed He was on land a
man of peace, but there was limit
to his patience He seized Braine by
the shoulders and hustled him out Of
the house.
Bring your proofs, mister, an
nothin' moreIl be said; but till y
bring em, keep away from this cot
tage."
And, supplemented sailor that he
was, he thought this settled the mat
ter.
That night he kept his ears open for
unusual sounds, but he merely wasted
his nights rest. Quite naturally, he
reckoned that the stranger would
make his attempt at night. Indeed,
he made it in broad daylight, with
Barnes not a hundred yards away,
calking a dory whose seams had
sprung aleak. Braine had Florence
upon the chartered yacht before the
old man realized what had happened.
He never saw Florence again; but one
day, months later, he read all about
her in newspaper.
Florence fought; but she was weak,
and so the conquest was easy. Braine
was kind enough, now that he had
her safe. He talked to her, but she
merely stared at the receding coast.
"All right; don't talk if you don't
want to. Here" to one of the men,
take her to the cabin and keep her
there. But don't you touch her. I'll
break you if you do. Put her in the
cabin and guard the door; at least
keep an eye on it. She may take it
into her head to jump overheard
Even the temporarily demented are
not without a species of cunning
Florence had never seen Braine till
he appeared at the Barnes cottage. Yet
she revolted at the touch of his hand
On the second day out toward New
York she found box of matches and
blithely set fire to her cabin, walked
out into the corridor and thence to
the deck. When the fire was discov
| cred it had gained too much Roadway
to be stopped. The yacht was doomed
They put off in the boats and for halt
day drifted helplessly.
Fate has everything mapped out like
a game of chess. You move a pawn
and bang goes your bishop, or your
knight, or your king; or she lets you
almost win a game, and then check
mates you. But there is one thing to
be said in her favor-rail at her how
we will, she is always giving odds to
the innocent.
Mike Bannock was in the pilothouse
looking over his charts, when the look
out in the crows nest sang out: 1.-TWO
boats adrift off the port bow, siri" And
Bannock, who was a first-class sailor
although a rough one. shouted down
the tube to the engine room. The
freighter came to halt in about ten
minutes. The castaways saw that they
had been noted, and pulled calamity
at the oars.
There are some things which sci
ence, we'll advanced as it is, cannot
explain. Among them is the shock
which cuts off the past and the coun.
tershock which reawakens memory.

in truly getting beyond that dark wall
Of mystery.
At the sound of Jim Norton's voice
and at the sight of his face-for sub
consciously she must have been think
ing of him all the while-a great blind
ing heat-wave seemed to burn across
her eyes, and when the effect passed
away she was herself again. A wild
glance at her surroundings convinced
her that both she and her lover were
in danger.
Keep back" whispered Jim. Don't
recognize me-
'"They believe that I've lost my
mind, and I'll keep that idea in their
heads. Sometime tonight I'll find a
chance to talk to YOU"
1t took good deal of cautious ma
neuvering to bring about the meeting.
"They shanghied me. And / thought

dent voice again.
Norton looked about desperately for
some weapon of defense. He saw an
engineers spanner on the floor by the
bunk across the way, and with no
small physical effort he succeeded IN
obtaining it. He stood up, his hand be-
hind his back.
