CHAPTER K.
The Past q Blank


It was perfectly true that Florence
had cast herself into the sea- It had
not been an act Of despair, however.
On the contrary, hope and courage
had prompted her to leap. The night
was clear, with only q moderate sea
running. At the time the great ship
was passing the Banks, and almost
within hail she saw a fishing schoofl-
err riding gracefully at anchor. She
quite readily believed that II she re-
manned on board the George Wash
ington she was lost. She naturally
forgot the marvel of wireless teleg-
raphy No longer may q man hide
at sea.
So, with that quick thought which
was a part of her inheritance, she
seized the lifebuoy, climbed the rail
and leaped far out. As the great dark
tossing sea swooped up TO meet her
she noted a block Of wood bobbing up
and down. She tried to avoid it. but
could not not, and struck IL head on.
Despite the blow and the shock of the
chill water she instinctively chung to
the buoy. The wash from the mighty
propellers tossed her about, hither
and yon, from one swirl to another,
like a chip of wood. Then everything
grew blank.
EOTIundI6lY IDT Hef TIC UidbLcF Oh
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
master lean forward suddenly, lower
the glass, then raise it again.
Lord almighty"
whats the matter, Cap'n?"
Jake, in Gods name, come ere an

The mate jumped and took the
glass. where away, sir?"
"A pint off tn sta'board bow. See

the master. Hi, y lubbersl' he
yelled to the crew. Lower tn dory.
They's a woman in tn water out

The crew dropped their tasks and
sprang for the davits, and the star
board dory was lowered In shipshape
style.

TO haul body out of the sea into q

ment 1t is climbing frantically heav-
onward and the next heading for the
bottomiess pit. They were very ten
der with her. They laid her out In
the bottom of the boat, with the iife-
buoy as a pillow. and pulled energeti-
cally for the schooner. She was alive
because she breathed, but she did not
stir SO much as an eyelid. IT 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
strangled her by forcing raw brandy
down her throat.

Curtain Calls

Today marks the opening OF the
regular theatrical season In Newark,
when at a matinee, the Forsberg
Players at the orpheum will present
the popular success Bought and
Paid For"
This new company of players, or
ganized and directed by the we'll
known director, Edwin Forsberg,
comprises an excellent array of ar
lists, including Frances McHenry,
leading woman: Charles Dingle, lead
ing man; Isadore Martin, ingenue;
Charles Schofield, comedian. Besides
these Helen Courtney, Ruth Bonair,
in the company
New productions with every atten-
tion to detail will be made , eekiy,
and the stage settings will be es-
pecially elaborate.
Daily matinees are the rule of the
orpheum, and the prices are of the
scale called popular, including the
best orchestra seats at twenty cents,
while the nightly scale Is but slight
,y higher.
This. however, is the only cheap
thing about the company, as the most
expensive royalty plays only will be
produced.
Seldom do such popular personages
appear on one bill, as those who
grace the program at the Lyric, the
first part Of this week.
Clarice Vance, the idolized Southern
{ singer, is one OF the stars OF this
bill. Miss Vance has been abroad
for the last three years, and her APP
pearance at the Lyric today and the
first part of this week is her first in
this country prior to her reappear-
ance on Broadway.
Another noted star of the bill is
Katheryn Osterman. who will be re-
membered as starring with Louis

Either there is discrepancy between
