"HE scene of this story is laid in
 the Isle of Man, two centuries
 ago, and it is filled with the weird superstitions of the Manx peO- pie.
 Thorkell Mylrea, the Deemster, was c violent, cruel and crafty judge, who dwelt among the sturdy fisher-folk dis pensing whatever justice suited his purpose. Being accustomed to bend ing all others to his will he was bit terly disappointed when his scholarly son, Evan, refused to fulfill his world ly ambitions and retired into the min istry. In anger, he cast him off and took into his household his illegitimate son, Jarvis Kerruish, a worthless flop.
 Those qualities of strength and lead ership which he longed to see in his son, Evan, the Deemster found in his daredevil nephew, Dan Mylrea, son of his gentle and God-fearing brother, Gilcrist, Bishop-of-Man. Dan was a handsome, fiery young giant, who ex- celled in every manly sport, and Evan and his lovely sister, Mona, adored their stalwart cousin, whose wild ex- ploits among the fishermen gave the bishop much anxiety. From time to time Dams impulsive nature ran away with him and he committed some reck- less act that he sorely repented later.
 In a moment of thoughtlessness, when bounded for a debt, which he feared would worry the bishop, Dan forged his cousins name, feeling sure that Evan would willingly have ad- vanced the money, and Evan, being confronted with the signature, de- clared it to be his own, telling lie to save his cousin from prosecution.
 Dams prompt expressions of sorrow and gratitude were checked by Ew- ans announcement that Dan should be from this time a stranger to him. self and sister. Crushed and humiliat- ed,, Dan rushed to Mona's home

forever, let no tongue speak to him. Alone let him live, alone die" AS the people shrank away from him Dan passed from among them to the south of the island, where boat, con- taining supplies and provisions, was awaiting him.
 For a year Dan dwelt in this boat stunning his kind, but at last, unable to endure the loneliness of the sea, he erected a rude shelter on a rocky island not far from shore, where he could look upon the habitations of men. On the first night that he slept ashore, a frightful storm swept his boat, leaving him a prisoner on the island.
 Here, for seven years, he spent a solitary life striving to make his peace with God, until at last it seemed to him the curse was lifted.
 TAen at his cabin door appeared . dying priest, who had landed half fainting from a blow received from the boom of his boat. The priest had come from Ireland, at the Bishop-of- Mans request, to succor the people from a dreadful scourge, called the sweating sickness"
 The priest told Dan that he should carry on his own unfinished work, con- vey his message to the bishop, and help to stay the plague. Before he died the saintly man outlined the methods to be followed in order to check the epidemic.
 And then at last Dan knew the op- portunity had come to make complete atonement Able once more to reach the shore, he went among the suffer CTS, ministered to their needs and taught them how to cope with the dis ease. Soon the epidemic was stayed, while all the people were loud in praise of the strange priest whose"face seemed to many a familiar one.
 The Deemster was among the last stricken, and Dan, summoned to his bedside, arrived in time to ease his final sufferings and to be recognized with superstitious horror before his uncle died. Even as Mona entered the house to reach her fathers bedside, Dan slipped away, and hastening to the bishop gave him the dead priests message, and also the assurance that his son lived and had made atone ment for fiis sin.
 And now, word went abroad that thu strange priest, proven to be Daniel Mylrea, had been appointed to sue ceed his late uncle as Deemster, or judge of the island.
 This message read by Mona, filled her with hope and a belief that Dan should at last come to his own. Ac- companied by one faithful fisherboy, she journeyed to seek him out, only to find him unconscious and i'll unto death. in bare cabin, where he had fallen victim to the disease he had so bravely combated.
 Mona watched beside him until in his last moments he looked upon her with joyful recognition. She mur- mured the Lords prayer, and as he echoed the words, "Deliver us from evil" his spirit passed.

tSpeCldl 10 nc al SuS.J
Washington, Dec. 30.-The Brit
Ism and American delegations are
determined to circumvent the
French position on the building OF
eubmarines by Offering such set
az rules for submarines in time or
war as to render them useless as
a weapon of offensive power.
The French hs@e protested so
violently against the German meth
DDS of submarine warfare and their
record on the subject is SO recent
that the Americans and British
have now taken another tack III
the conference and are endeavorinS
to see whether the French, who alb
horred the submarine when the
Germans used it, will defend it as
a humane and legitimate instru-
ment of warfare.
The rules of warfare being drawn
\ are such as TO make it Impossible
for a submarine to attack a mer-
chant ship for obviously the under
sea craft cannot take care OF the
lives of either crew or passengers
and one of the new rules provides
that the merchant ship can't be
sunk unless that is done. OF course,
the submarine would still be use
full in naval battle against an in
vasion by a feet but then Destroy
ers usually accompany the larger
ships anyway and destroyers mean
sure death TO a submarine.
America Loses Patience.
For the moment the effort to
make France agree to build a small
tonnage of submarines has been
sbandoned but it is questionable
whether the issue has been perma-
nently disposed of. The French
are playing Washington against
Cannes, which Is only another way
Of saying that when Prime Minister
Lloyd George meets PremlSr BRAND
at the supreme council at Cannes
some bargaining may take place
which will modify the French at
titude at Washington. So far as
the Washington government is con-
cerned, it is plainly losing faith
in and patience with the French.
The talk is that the French have
completely mi3conceiVed the spirit
Of the Washington conference. In
stead OF coming here with the no
ton of giving up naval strength,
the French have attempted to bar
b gain all along the line. In the
Swords of man who ought to know,
the French attitude is described as
one Of offended vanity from the
start" He attributes French pique
TO an accumulation of minor in
cidents which would sound incred-
ible if the details were EIblished
He represents Premier BRAND as
exasperated in the first days OF
the conference because Of some me-
chanical defect in the seating of the
French delegation at the plen-
airy sessions. Another incident
was the fact that the French
were not invited to participate as
observers in the conversations be-
tween China and Japan and over
Shantung. Rumor has it that the
Japanese didn't want the French
because of the possibility of OBJ
struction. Still another episode in
which French 0ispleasure was in
Cured arose out of the converse
nons preceding the negotiation OF
the four-power pact. While France
