LEXINGTON. KY, Oct. 13.-Lee
Axworthy set up a new wagon rec.
ord yesterday for trotting stations.
Evening star., 1916-12-10

When the shock came, Monte, in his
red sweater, was sitting with his back to
the door of Marjory's state-room, half
asleep. He was permitted to be there be-
cause he had engaged the accommoda-
tions in the name of MIR. and Mrs. Cow
ington, and then had tipped every one in
sight for the privilege of sleeping outside
instead of inside. The explosion and the
lurch of the ship threw him some five feet,
but he picked himself up and made run
ming jump at her door, striking it with his
shoulder. The lock gave.
@Marjory!" he shouted.
"Here, Monte
She opened her door. Already she had
flung on some clothes.
Snatching two life-preservers from be-
low the bunk, he called to her to stand in
front of him. There in the dark he ad-
justed one about her warm, trembling form
The other he slipped over his own head as
he seized her hand and dragged her after
him. 1t was free-for-all fight to reach
the deck; but, holding her hand in grip
of iron, he pushed his way through. Then,
upon his hands and knees, still holding
her, he crawled up to the rail to where a
frantic squad of men were lowering
boat. STOPPING, he lifted her and threw
her in. He heard her wild cry above the
cries of hundred others. The sailors,
crazed with excitement, were accomplish
ing nothing. Then the ship lurched again,
Evening star., 1916-12-10

this time toward the boat, and the crazed
squad leaped for the water, now only a
few feet below them. The motion loosened
the tackles, and the boat swung free
Monte jumped for the water. AS he came
up he called her name.
"Here, Monte, she answered, within
few feet of him.
A COUPLE of strokes toward her voice
brought him to the boat He pulled
himself over the side. He fumbled about
in the bottom for oars, found them, and
adjusted them in the oar-locks. In the
shrieking confusion about him, his only
thought was to pull away far enough from
the sinking ship to keep out of the sue
ton. He could not see foot before his
face, but dozen times he rowed toward
some appealing voice, only to have it
vanish. 1t was useless to try to save any
one in that inky hell. So he put his back
into the oars, and rowed and rowed and
rowed out into the silence. Soon it was
as if they were in pit. There was no light
above them; none below them; none
about them. No sound came to them.
"Are you there, Marjory?' he called.
Here, Monte she anwered:
"Are you cold?' he demanded.
mo But her teeth chartered.
He peeled off his sweater.
"Put this on, he ordered.
"No--no. You need it,
