CHAPTER XII.
Down the Cape.


At four o'clock, or shortly after,
Alan was awakened by boot-heels
pounding imperstively overhead, and
went on deck again. to stand both dog
watches-saw the sun lift up smiling
over world of tumbled blue water,
crossed the wake of Cunard liner in
bound for Boston, raised and over
hauled graceful but businesslike fish
erman (from Gloucester, Barcus
opined when called to stand his trick
at eight and saw it 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 gone
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 filled the cup of day with
rarefed 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-
frmed his surmise that the Seaventure
had come up into the wind, and now
was yawing off wildly into the trough
of q stiff if not heavy sea. A third
showed him, to his amaZement, the
Gloucester fisherman overhauled
with such ease that morning and now,
by rights, well down the northern hori-
zon-not two miles distant, and stand
ing squarely for the smaller vessel.
Bewildered, he darted to the girls
side, with shout, demanding to
know what was the matter. She
turned to him face he hardly recog-
nized-but still he didn't understand.
The inevitable inference seemed a
thing unthinkable; his brain faltered
when asked to credit it. Only when
he saw her tearing frantically at the
painter, striving to cast it off and with
it the dory towing a hundred feet or
SO astern, and when another wonder
ing glance had discovered the head
and shoulders Of Mr.. Rarcus rising
over the stern of the dory as he strove
to lift himself out of the Water-only
then did Alan begin to appreciate
what had happened.
Even so, it was with the feeling that,
all the world and himself as well had
gone stark, raving mad, that he seized
the girl and, despite her struggles, tore
her away from the rail before she had
succeeded In unknotting the painter.
"Rose!" he cried stupidity. Rose!
What's the matter with you? Don't
you see what you're doing?"
Defiance inf1amed her countenance
and accents. Cant you ever say any
thing but Rose! Rose! Rose!' Is
there no other name that means any
thing to you? Can't you understand
how intolerable it is to me? / love
you no less than she-better than she
ever dreamed of loving you-because

The thing was managed with an IN
genuity that Alan termed devilish-it
was indisputaoly Machiavellian.
The lovers had come down from the
North in hot haste and the shadow of
death Two days of steady travelling
by canoe, by woods trail, by lake
q steamer-forty-eigh hours of fatigue
q and strain eased by not one instants

e vigilance upon which their very lives
: depended wore to elimination
through this tedious afternoon on the
train from Moosehead-a trap of phys
ical torment only made possible by
Alan's luck in securing, through sheer
accident, two parlor-car reservations
turned back at the last moment be-
fore leaving Kineo station
No matter-the longest afternoon
must have its evening: the pokiest of
trains comes the more surely to it's
destination; in another hour or two
they would be in Portland-free at
last to draw breath of ease in a land
of law, order and sane living.
As if in answer to this thought, the
train slowed down with whistling
brakes to the last hill-station, and as
the trucks groaned and moved anew,
lout of a boy came galloping down
the aisle, brandishing two yellow en-
veloPes and blatting like stray calf:
''Mista Lawr! Mista Lawr! Tel.
grams for aIista Lawr!"
Alan had been expecting at every
station prepaid reply to his wire for
reservations on the night express from
Portland to New York
But why two envelopes superscribed
tMr. A. Law, Kineo tYain southbound,
Oakland Sta?''
He tore one open, unfolded the in
closure, and grunted disgust with it's
curt advice, opened the other and
taught his breath sharply as he with
drew-part way only-a playing card
o trey of hearts
Thrusting it back quickly, he clapped
both envelopes together, tore them
into a hundred fragments, and scat
tered them from the window But
the fiendish wind whisked one small
scrap back-and only one!-into the
Jap of the woman he loved
Vainly he prayed that she might
be asleep. The silken lashes trembled
on her cheeks and lifted slightly, dis.
closing the dark glimmer of question
ing eyes. And as she clipped the scrap
Of cardboard between thumb and fore
finger he bent forward and silently
took it from her-one corner of the
trey of hearts, but inevitably corner
bearing the figure 80" above a heart.
"The Pullman agent at Portland
wires no reservations available on any
New York train in the next thirty-six
hours" he said with lowered voice.
Couldn't we possibly catch the New
York boat tonight"
He shook a glum head Mo-

reclosed her eyes, and apparently
lapsed anew into semi-somnolence-
but without deceiving him who could
well guess what poignant anxiety
gnawed at her heart

exasperation-the impish insolence of

their nerves on edge at the very mo-

pened, while Mr. Barcus was as good
as his word. Alan had basely set foot
on deck, following the girl, when the
gangplank came aboard with clatter,
and the Seaventure swung away from
the wharf.
Until the distance was too great for
even flying leap Alan fingered watch
fully on deck.
At length, satisfied that all was well,
he returned to the cabin
