"I'm doing this because | know it's
what you want, Marjory," he said.
"Yes, Monte"
"In little while you'll be rested and
then"
Hechecked himself and held out his hand.
"Slong, he said.
She felt her hand in his. Then she saw
him smile.
"You'd better go to bed right away"
Then he went. For a moment she
could not believe it. He had gone and
left her alone here. She staggered to her
bunk and sat down. He had gone and
she did not know where. She had not
even asked him. She could not ever
write to him now. There was no way of
getting word to him, no matter how badly
she needed him.
She stumbled from her cabin in panic.
She made her way through the crowd that
filled the cabins and stairs. On deck were
other crowds. She pushed on to the gang
plank, and looked down into the faces of
those upon the pier. His was not among
them
He had gone!
ONE of the many early events of the
great war, the news of which was sup
pressed for diplomatic reasons, was the
blowing UP of the Italian liner Santa l.,

torily. an keep warm rowing.
He began to row again.
During the night the clouds cleared
and the moon came out. He could
see her, dishevelled heap in the stern.
His heart leaped for joy.
At last the sun came above the hori-
zon and began to warm her. He thanked
God for that. But nowhere was there
either land or ship in sight. He turned
his bow toward the sun-toward the east.
If there was fresh water aboard he had
chance. He told her to search the stern,
and drew in his oars and searched the
bow. He found keg holding gallon.
Also box of sea biscuit. His chances
for saving her were more than doubled.
He carried the keg to her side and, making
dipper of his hands, poured out little
and ordered her to drink. She was glad
enough for the sip. Then he pretended
to pour more for himself, but his hands
went to his parched lips dry. He had
none to waste upon himself
Then he went back to his oars and
rowed.
ON the third day, at about noon, she
was sitting with her chin in her hands.
watching his strong arms swing back and
forth. His eyes We're heavy and there
was little power in his stroke. For the
hundredth time she begged to be allowed
to relieve him. He shook his wabbly
head.
"Land-before night" he murmured.
Then he Topped over into the bottom
of the boat and lay sprawled out his full
length. The crash had come sooner than
he expected. His system was burned out
for lack of water.
She fell to her knees beside him.
"Monte!' she shrieked.
He made no answer With supreme
effort she turned him upon his back His
lips looked shriveled. She picked up the
keg, and found it half full. Then she
guessed. He had been saving it for her!
He had made the supreme sacrifice that
a man can make for the woman he loves.
He had challenged death for her
But to what end if he died and left her
alone? Good God in heaven, to what end
if he left her alive?
Frantically she moistened her handker-
chief, and put it to his lips In response,
nature opened his clenched lips while he
lay unconscious. She lifted the keg and
SSHNtN pouItu tHS water Ilto HIS Iloutu.
Automatically he swallowed. She gave
him more. He should have all What
mattered it whether she lived or not. if
she could give him few more hours of
life? She bathed his forehead and face with
the precious liquid, his head in her lap.
AT length he opened his eyes. He found
her own above them. They came nearer
-nearer-until her lips brushed his own
"Husband of mine,' she breathed.
Again she moistened her handkerchief
and squeezed the water upon his lips.
"What-what are you doing?" he cried
hoarsely. "You must save that-for--"
He struggled to get to his feet Again
she stopped and kissed his lips
"My mani" she whispered. "My own
big, brave MANI
"Wife, he breathed.
Then he closed his eyes and slept
1t was late that day when he awoke.
His head was still in her lap. She too
had slept, but as he stirred her lips
bent over his again. He was light
headed.
