MAGAZINE SECTION for October 20, 1916

Syllonge leaped to his feet, surveyed
the glass, and took the steps to the deck
in three strides. There he shifted the
heavy air and tasted the salt on the slow
breeze that swept in gusts from the
south.
you're right!' he whispered to the
mate. @Any other craft about?'
"Two-Badger's schooner and Thomp-
sons brigantine were to windward at
shutdown. l think they won't get back
very soon. Winds veering."
just before dawn the two men con-
suited again.
"If the glass tells the truth, we're in
for proper hurricane" the mate re-
marked. SIN that case, sir, it'll be-"
Syllonge nodded.
"You say the other packets We're stand
ing to windward last night? That means
that unless they're back here by sunrise
they'll stand little chance of fetching the
island again till the blows over
He leaned out over the rail and studied
the shadow, low-lying and dense, that
marked Remote.
Get your ship ready, Mr. Mate he
said brusquely.
Alone he stood and gazed at the little
ellipse of coral taking shape under the
CRAVING light watched it till the sudden
glare of day flung open its every crevice
and laid it momentarily like relief map
under his eyes. Then he looked up at
the zenith, obscured with vapor, and
compressed his lips. Beyond the island
he could see the slow seas fiinging up
great jets of spume as they hurled them
selves with strange vehemence on the reef.
Very shortly the bright sun grew ruddy,
and then went out behind bank of swirl
ing clouds. Syllonge shook his head at
the repeated suggestions Of his mate that
they send the Mercy along and out of the
lee, which would soon be dangerous

busy ashore
"We'll be too busy ashore the moment

tion,' the mate said aggrievedly "It'll

be the lee side Them
Earnest alarm was in the mates tones
now. He had no intention Of being left
short-handed on the schooner to manage
by himself through gale which might
last three or four days.
"I'll be back" Syllonge told him. II

be perfectly safe for an hour to come.n
A moment later he was alone in the
small boat, pulling for the pass. Once
inside the lagoon, he pulled to the beach
in front of the grove, hauled his boat up
way, and strobe up the sands just as
the first gust of the gathering gale howled
across the atoll, bending the palms and
scattering the white coral in dusty clouds.
Without signal of any kind, Syllonge
tramped up on the wide veranda and
through the open door.
CLOKE met him, showing establishment.
"You must be mad, Captain!"
Behind him Tiff showed face dis
tinctly worried.
"This is likely to be a hard gale," he
muttered, glazing around at the fimsy
walls of the house.
"Very likely Syllonge said briefly.
Where is Miss Iliff?"
Here" she replied in a calm voice
from the shadow
II couldn't go away without thanking
you for your hospitality he told her,
ignoring the Others and their impatience.
"Man, your schooner will be ashore in

Excuse me, Captain Syllonge said
hastily. "My crew is slower than tar
this day. l must be out of here by the
morning tide
"Where bound?"
Remote Island, sir
Four weeks later Captain Syllonge hove
his schooner to right abreast the pass
into the lagoon of Remote Island
Tiff met him on the beach, and to the
young mans astonishment greeted him
amiably.
"The news brought you, did it?" Tiff
inquired. "You're not the first Cloke
is here. Know Cloke?"
"Pearl-fsher? What news? just in
time for WHAT"
"My daughters marriage" Tiff said,
with apparent satisfaction.
Syllonge stared, and then laughed
"Is that SO? When does it come off?
To Cloke?"
: Maybe to Cloke, Tiff responded, bal
ancing his muscular body on his strong
legs. 9TH be decided by her. I've sent
the news around for four months, now,

"Count me in,' Syllonge said quietly
CYNTHIA greeted him calmly, and in
troduced him to Cloke, whom Syllonge
instantly set down to be no mean antag-
onist: full-blooded, suave, handsome
man, reputed to be extremely well-to-do.
For three days he strove to get quiet
talk with Cynthia, and failed until one
night he came upon her walking in the
darkness along the outer beach, where
the wind doomed necessarily and the
surf roared. He drew her roughly within
the shelter of a creaking palm.

bluntly. "You asked me what had to

"That is great deal, she admitted

her hand.
"It's great deal!" she answered, with

mot enough, she told him quietly.
He hung his head awhile, striving to
think of some other thing in his power to
offer this magnificent woman.
Il know you aren't looking merely for
money! he said. IL don't know that I've
got anything else to offer"
She slipped away.
WITHIN week other schooners hove
to off Remote, and smart boats came
ashore and landed men of many kinds.
Among these Syllonge found himself
edged to one side, then ignored, at last
markedly stranger. Cynthia held her
court, and smiled and spoke and looked
beautiful without reference to his presence.
He sought her out.
"If | didn't know better, I'd say you
weren't worth the trouble" he said
curtly. "But you are worth the trouble.

Again she escaped him.
With growl, Syllonge left the house,
ignored sardonic invitation from Tiff
to stay for tea, and made his way out to
the Mercy, where he took counsel with
himself till midnight.
At last he was reused by new note in
the mates voice, just down from hauling
the schooner about on the other tack.
"Blow," said that worthy.
"Blow? Nonsense" Syllonge snarled.
