The Hearst campaign answered
the argument Of the friends Of the

routed their oppOnents.
They pointed out that Mr.. Hearst
organized the International News

They pointed out that half Of
the newspapers in the United States

these newspapers with their news,ss
They called attention TO the fact
that the Tnternati News Service
was d service open to every news

in a nightmare Of drink, and all the
stern magic of this land has passed
him by. But he was receptive to II
tonight.
II was such a mood as could cas-
lily hurl him into tragic regrets II ht
bad let himself go-if he had not
long ago forsworn all regrets. In
the first place, there was no par
ticular act of his-not even the
tragic outcome of the launch ride on
the Savannah River-to which he
could directly attribute his downfall
it had really been a combination OF
circumstances. many of which had
been beyond his direct control.
He had been weak, true enough
drinking rather too much than was
good for him. but no more than other
pen of his class, and not one-tenth
as hard as he was drinking now in
rorgetfulness. He had been jealous
with little cause; but this was also
a human trait. 1t was simply that
for all his suspicious beginning. his
those first ineffable months with
Dorothy-the cards of fate had been
stacked against him. So 1t was
neither wise nor fitting that he
should yield himself to regret. There
was no use of fighting when there
go home. He must always be a fugi-
tive from the world of men. He
must stay here till he died.
1t seemed to him now that this
ultimate end was nearer than he had
ever dreamed. There was a strange
sense of f1nality about this voyage.
The wind was like a whiplash out
of the northwest, singing his eye
lids, buffeting him as he braced him
self on the titlting deck, seeking
every little entrance through sleeve
and collar into his vitals. In the
loneliness Of his mood 1t did not oc-

Waterman might be likewise suffer

holler for it back as soon as feel
chilly"
Big Chris muttered, but slipped
the garment on. He could not doubt
those ringing words; otherwise wild
horses could not have forced the
coat across his brawny shoulders.
Presently he turned away, leaving
this man of cities almost unprotect-
ed in the blast of the wind.
Why ne had acted as he did, he
/ could not have told you. The dy-
ing liquor had chilled him, rather
than warmed him, nor was there
any shirt of cold-defying caribou
hide under his outer garment Of
heavy flannel.
He could not exist long in such
cold as this. The frost seemed to
penetrate his vitals. The dawn was
breaking over the sea, incredible
after this night of storm and dark
ness; but it brought no mercy from
the cold. Either he must leave his
watch and seek shelter below, or else
perish on the deck.
He turned, at last, toward the
pilot house; but it was the strangest
thing in all his strange life that he
had little real desire to go. 1t was
not that he was vitality needed on
the deck. Rather, it was an out
growth Of the nights dark mood; he
had seen the end toward which he
was drifting all to plain. At least
there would be some semblance of
decency in such a death--to be
stricken lifeless by the cold in his
keeping of his watch.
But the Remittance Man never
reached the pilothouse door. There
was one strange, bewildering, blind
ing instant of incredible stress, a
quick, cracking, explosive sound
that hardly had time to reach his
ear drums, and then the swift real
iZation, like a rockets flare, or
trrevocable disaster The ship reeIed,
rent, the cruel crags ripped, caught,
hurled it over; and the dark waves,
foam-crested. roared, plunged. and
smothered it in an instant. The
mans lips opened in one Ndesparing
cry; and then he was swept and
hurled into darkness.

Dorothy's life. Today she saw the
colored messenger boy, pedaling

She had time in plenty to watch
him, and nothing better to do. Since
tragedy had overtaken this house

she had had full cause to watchSfor

her that the boy was heading
straight toward her door.
She had no great sense of surprise
when the boy turned into her own
beautiful curving driveway, circled
to the wide veranda, leisurely
propped up his wheel, and passed
beyond the range of her vision as he
mounted the veranda steps to her
door. Dorothy got up slowly from
her chair She walked freely
through the door, took time to
glance once at a great bouquet of
flowers. and her hand was steady as
she signed for the message. Then
her flutter,ng fingers tore it open.

Of that first reading; yet when con-
seriousness streamed back to her, a
moment later. she lay half-sprawled
over the great settle in the alcove
just off the hall, and she knew the
burden. if not the exact wording, of
the message.
The yellow slip still lay in her
hand. She did not look at it at once.
Instead she lay with closed eyes, and
the world swept through space, and
time moved as in the grayness Of
half-sleep. She raised her hand
slowly, and the message came with
it; and slowly, laboriously, she read
it through again.
