PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE

marty was party of promise. To-day
IL is "a party of performance. During
all the time that the party wa out
OF power the most that the Dcmo,ra-
cy could do WAS to give tn" people
assurance with regard to what IL
would do IL It were allowed the OPP
portunity. II required sixteen year
to demonstrate to the country the IN

vince the public that Its prosperity
md welfare would best be subscrHcd
by placing the rcins of government
again in the hards OF the party Oh

During al that time the enemies
Of the Democratic party were contin-
uoualy making the charge that the
Democratic party was not Il constric-
tive party: that il was incapable OF
preparing and carrying into effect
definite policy and program OF leg
islution. The record OF one year

"Nothing-wind too fresh. Make
yourself easy on the soft side OF a
plank here. I'll land you a kick in
the Stats when so minded-or when
it's your trick at the wheel"
With chuckle. Alan obediently
stretched himself out on the deck.
Il say-Law!"
'Well?"
you seem pretty easy in your mind
about this young woman below. To
me, she's the same that tried to send
me to Davy Jones' locker. How does
she explain her presence aboard?"
Much as l surmised," Alan replied.
Il fancy they chloroformed her while
she slept In that hotel In Portland.
Whether or no, Rose woke up In q
closed motor car-bound and gagged,
of course-and was brought aboard at
Gloucester about midnight"

did say that truth was stranger to

talk you insensible."

"Then--let's go to It'll Give wayi"
A dozen lusty strokes brought them
alongside the schooner, and as the
dory scraped the waist of the larger
vessel the two young men dropped
oars, rose, and selling the low gun
wales. lifted themselves to the deck.
Nothing opposed them; the deck was
ignorant OF other footsteps than their
own. the schooner as silent as only a
becalmed ship can be.
Without further consultation, Alan
led quickly aft and down the compan.
ionway to the cabin, where dim light
burned-a smoky lamp swinging in
'gimbals above cluttered table.
OF the two stateroom doors one dis

fancied he heard sound within. Paus

The respone was cry OF increduloui
delight: "Alan!"
BY way of answer Alan hurled him

He caught an miscellaneous glimpse
er towering above the two-master-i
sweeping toward 1t at speed which,
raised smart jet OF white under the
cutwater.
Someone aboard the schooner. with
the voice of stentor, beloved ter
rffied appeal:
stop your engines! Shut on your
propeller! Stop your"
Then, like the wrath OF God. the
steamship overwhelmed the lesser
ship; Its bow seemed to slice through
the schooner as a knife through
cheese. And the two halves we're fairly
driven under water by the frightfui
force of the blow.
Thunders deafening him. Alan was
hurled bodily through the air fully
twenty feet.
When he came up he struck out at
random, blindly tormented by the
vision of Rose caught in the suck of
that gigantic wheel, drawn under,
crushed and mangled by the propeller
of the vast black hulk whose flank was
sliding past, like the face of Cliff,
ten yards behind his shoulders.
Aware of several dark objects dot
ting the surface within radius OF
several yards, he swan for the near
est; the head was woman's, the face
turned toward him, the face Of Rose.
He gasped wildly: Keep cooli Don't
struggle! Put one hand on my shout

What happened then was never quite
clear to him; he only knew that he
was forced to fight for his very life
that the woman, as soon as he came
within reach, flung herself upon him
like some maddened animal, clutching
his throat. winding her limbs round
his, dragging him down and down.
Primitive instinct alone saved him.
He remembered later, most vaguely
the elimination of that duel beneath

CHAPTER XIV.
A Double Escape.

~ Douuic Escape.
On Nauset Beach, in the shank OF a
midsummer night, two men sprawled
en- the sands, some distance back from
che water, and listened to the heavy

and painted.
Now and again one would lift his
head and stare out over the black face
Of the waters at little line OF red
dish flames about mile off shore, all
Hfat remained to witness to the fact
that, an hour since, these two had
been in command of as trim small
schooner as ever ventured the coast
wise trip from Portland to New York.
As far out again shone the star
hoard light Of a becalmed schooner
whose people had been directly respon
asble for the disaster which had over
taken the smaller vessel.
In the course of time, beginning &c
breathe with more ease. one OF the
1wo marooned gentlemen said:
@Tell me. Barcus, what's the near
est symptom of civilization"

six miles to the no'th'ards, and cut of
by an inlet mile or so wide at that.
Mr.. Law groaned soulfully.
Then there's the lighthouse or
Monomoy point" Mr.. Barcus pursued
~three miles to the south"
Mfr. Law said nothing whatever tt
this.
"of course his companion reflected
anerosely, this had to happen in mid

arm, drawing 1t back. delivering a
blow from his shoulder, with all his
strength, finding himself free, strug-
Cling back to the air.
Then a 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 bewiidered, strug-
gled feebly.
The others voice brought him back
to his senses. Easy, old topi Take
1t easy! You're all right now-rest
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 boat which proved to be
the stolen lifeboat.
Aside from Barcus and himself 1t
held one other person only-the WON,
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, | say! She's all
ht-fainted-that's all! She and /
took the water in practically the same
spot and luck threw this blessed boat
my way within half dozen strokes.
No trouble at all--in manner OF
speaking"
But the steamer"
why fret about herr At the pace
she was making she couldn't have
stopped within half a 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.

of wrecksge. Il left her out there
unconscious--she'll drown. / tell youl''
"And I'll tell you something!" said
Mr.. Barcus severely. You'll lie quiet
and shut up or I'll dent your dome with

and good job, say! Don't you know
the meaning of enough? Merciful
heavens, man, you're the most insa-
table glutton for punishment everi.
But Alan wasn't listening. His face
was as lightiese as the waters that
swan beneath his lack-luster gazs
There was a horror In his heart that
numbsd even the sense Of relief, Of
deiiverance. that penetrated his being
like shock Of mortal pain.

descended upon Alan's overwearied
faculties.
He woke mutinously, with yawn
and shiver In the gray of furnished
daybreak, to find that fog pressed
heavily upon the face of the waters, q
mist so thick that from the stern the
waist of the vessel was almost invis-
ible, the bows completely so.
Barcus stood over him, at the wheel,
fairly Keeling with WEAKNESS, his eyes
blood-shot, swollen, and half-closed In
face like mask Of fatigue.
Cant keep this up much longer"
he apologized thickly; stood 1t about
as long as can. Take your trick and
give me forty winks."
Grateful solicitude brought Alan In
stantly to his side. though he himself
was sluggish and stir and sore in all
his limbs.
You're brick!" he protested. why
didn't you call me sooner?"
mo good; l knew the way-you
didn't. That is, l did until this &C

Grasping q small brass handle
affixed to the wheel box. he jerked it
sharply three times. and the automatic
horn blared raucously threefold re-

interval-and IL the devil takes care

With sigh. relinquishing the wheel.
he collapsed upon the deck and was
almost instantly asleep.

A silence commenced eloquently on
shis assertion, broken only when Mr..
Law voiced thought bred of long and
malignant observation of the schoon-
er's green eye:
