Blue Water.

Anxiety ate like an acid at Alan's
hearts If this shift to the sea might
be thought desperate venture, he
was weathered saltwater man and
undismayed: nothing would have been
more to his liking than brisk coast
wise cruise lin an able boat under
auspices less 'forb1dding.
But when he re-entered the hotel
one surprising thing happened that
gave him new heart-momentar1l it
seemed almost as If his luck had
turned. For, as he paused by the desk
of the cashier to demand his bill, the
elevator gate opened and Rose came
out eagerly to meet him with an eager
air Of hope that masked measurably
the signs Of fatigue.

Down the Cape.

Down the Cape.
At four o'clock, or shortly after,
Alan was awakened by boot-heels
pounding imperatively overhead, and
went on deck again, to stand both dog
watches-saw the sun lift up smiling
over a world of tumbled blue water,
crossed the wake Of a Cunard liner In
bound for Boston, raised and over

opined when called to stand his trick
at eight and saw 1t a mile or two
astern when-still aching with fatigue
he was free to return to his berth
for another four-hour rest.
This time misguided consideration
induced Barcus to let his crew sleep,
through the first afternoon watch. Six,
bells were ringing when, in drowsy ap-
prehension that something had goneI
suddenly and radically wrong, Alan
walked.
He was on deck again almost before.
he rubbed the sleepiness from his
eyes, emerging abruptly from the half
light of the cabin to a dazzle Of sun
light that filed the cup Of day with
rarefied gold. even as he passed from
conviction OF security to realization OF
immediate and extraordinary peril.
His first glance discovered the wheel
deserted, the woman with back to him
standing at the taffrail, Barcus-no-
where to be. seen. The second con-
firmed his surmise that the Seaventure
had come up into the wind, and now
was yawing of wildly into the trough

showed him, to his amazement, the
