The greater danger would come after

skin. The sharp bow of the dOry ran
up on the soft sand of the beach, and
l stepped ashore.
Then there came to me the first real
consciousness of the reckless nature
Of this adventure. AS | faced then
the probabilities there scarcely seemed
one chance in a hundred And yet |
must admit there was the one chance
and in no other action could l per-
ceive even that much encouragement.
If Dorothy Fairfax was already in the
hands of these men. then my only OPP
portunity for serving her lay in my
being close at hand. No alternative
presented itself; no other effort could
be effective. 1t was already too late
to attempt the organization of a res
cue party. No, the only choice left
was for me either to accompany the
girl or else abandon her entirely to
her captors. I must either face the
possibility of discovery and capture,
which as surely meant torture and
death, or otherwise play the coward
and remain impOtently behind. So l
drove the temptation to falter away
and strobe on up the bank into the
black shadow of the trees.

advanced through tangled under
brush. Fortunately the distance was
even shorter than l had anticipated.

force of the incoming sea, yet making
fair progress. Some unconsidered cur

FOUNDATION OF ALL SUCCESS
Energy Has Been Well Defined as tho
Very Central Power of Charac-
ter In Man.

Energy enables man to force his
way through drudgery and dry de-
tails, and carries him onward and up
ward in every station in life, says
Smiles. 1t accomplishes more than
genius. Energy of will may be defined
to be the very central power Of charac-
ter In man-in word. it Is the man
himself. True hope is based on it
and 1t is hope that gives the real per-
fume to life. No blessing is equal to
the possession of stout heart.

believer In the power of will, even In
youth. Laying his hand on the head
Of his youngest son, when engaged up

Nothing that is Of real worth can be
achieved without courageous working.
The timid and hesitating find every
thing impossible, chiefly because 1t
seems so. 1t Is pluck, tenacity and de-

tie.
The reply of the Spartan father who
said to his son, when complaining that
his sword was too short, add step

Ay, but this knew there was only one

tapping ragged edges in the gusts of

l became aware that two men we're
working their way out along the foot
ropes, and, as they reached pint al
most directly over my head, became
busily engaged in tightening the gas
kets to better secure the loOSening
sail. The foot of one slipped and he
hung dangling, giving vent to stiff

My boat had drlfted considerably far
Their out into the bay than had sup

hour of steady toll at the oars before
sighted ahead of me the darker out
lines of the shore. At first l could
identify nothing, but finally there sud-
denly arose, clearly defined, the gaunt
limbs Of a dead tree, bearing a faint
resemblance to gigantic cross, that
had been pointed out on the sloop.
This peculiar mark was at the extrem-
ity of the first headland lying north
of the point itself, and consequently
a straight course across the bay would
land me within five hundred yards of
where the Namur had last been at
anchor.

action had been definitely mapped out
