from the lighthouse and consulted @ chart on the seat beside him. The coast of Northumbra lay 200 miles away. With pencil and par allel rulers, he marked his course.
 Night came, and the land had fallen away to an indistinct smudge on the horizon. The sea was empty. and the breeze blew strongly. unfalteringyly. a fair wind to bring a king back from his rovings in far countries. And as the light failed, and the world shrank to the small circle of the boat itself. with the tiny light in its pinnacle, the fiIckering red and green reflections of It's running lights on the water, and the vague paleness of itS sails rising aloft, Paul Tegained once more the feel ing that he had in the first days of his exile-the feeling that free- dom, that evanescent thing which men found only to lose, was his at last.
 T ought to know better than that" he said aloud. There B no such thing as freedom; or, If there B, it's just the reverse of what we think it is. The surest way to lose 1t is to go hunting for 1t; the one way ot find 1t is to forget all about 1t, to do the things you have to do with all there B in you, to forget yourself entirely and trust to luck that in the pro- cess of serving something higher than yourself freedom will come to you"
 Jona8 Coffin had not, lied about the little sloops qualities. In a steady wind She would stick re- markedly close to her courge with a lashed tiller. Paul was following course well out of the steamer lanes; 50 at last he made the tiller fast and went below, to throw him. gelf on bunk and sleep. He was up again at dawn. jubilant at the emptiness of the sea, the clean bluencss of the sky; and all that day he guided the sloop across q trackleSs ocean.
 Another night came, and the sloop sped on. At midnight rain Squall blew up, and Paul came on deck for three hours. to shorten sail and guide his craft through q welter of flying spray and howl ing wind. Then the gquall was left behind, and in It's place there came gentle and steady wind from the west. He laShed the tiller again and went down to his bunk, lulled by the steady. recurrent dip and lift of the boat across the long swells.
 And the night wore away to a new dawn, as the sloop went on, and at dawn the white sails were touched with pink, like the prom ise of new day and new world. Paul came on deck again, to look ahead for his first glimpse of the coast of his native land. He stood by the mast, one hand gripping g backstay, erect and lonely in the early light a king without 8 country. borne in on strong sea- wind from the open ocean, peering out for the land which he had deSerted and which was reclaim ing him.

THE STORY so FAR

gmrrenAering IsIs throne for the lovo of ARDATH RICHMOND, Canadian born actress, PAUL l. King Of Northumbra, becomes psivate. citizen PAUL FERRONE, buys . charming villa on the Bay ee SC. Francis and believes he is . free man at last.
 But quickly he finds he has made . bad bargain. The world pfys in on him. Tlercilessly; week after week of association with the vivacious COUNTESS DI MARCO, REGGIE VAN TWYNE, pIayboy, and the other interna- sional set, proves pretty boring.
 So Paul takes the advice of his old tutor. DIR. SONDERS; he travels, buys sailing ship, travels some more. But ever the shadow of the lost throne foIoIws him. Eventually he and Ardath quarrel over her friends. Paul takes more and more tO his boat.
 Then one day he suggests tO Ardath they have child. Angrlly, she replies; Paul, are you in- sane?" Paul Is badly shaken. A week later. at a party at his villa, Paul overhears Van Twyne talk ing familiarity to Ardath. He tells her to leave Paul. She admits It's . sorry affair but swears she must stay by Paul. Well" sayS Reggie, "sooner or later and when you do, little Iteggie1l be on deck"

Dawn was breaking, at last, when Paul finally went up to his dress ing room. The last of the guests had left, the orchestra and the paid en- tertainers had gone. and the taw- dry equipment of the party -- the rows of Japanese lanterns, the dance floor on the lawn, the fiimsy platform for the rchestra--lookcd 1orlorn and dingy in the clean morning light.
 The sun came up over the water and turned the bay and it's flank ing shoreline to place of en- chantment and mystery. It gave the water richer. deeper blue than any sailor had seen, 1t made the red roofs and white WalB of the villas gleam with a radiance of their own, and 1t lighted the far tip of rock Cape Roman aa If 1t were lighting a beacon on the sea-road back to a lost king dom.
 Paul took last look from his balcony and went into his dress ing room. There was a tap on hlg door, and Ardath came in. She wore a negligcc over her night robe, and her face was anxious.
 There you are" she said. Paul where have you been? You wor- ried nc"
 Paul looked at her. Ills face was pale and his eyes were tired; and he looked for long time at the woman whom he had followed and loved through a year of exile. He sat down, at last, and turned woArily away.
 I've been long way off-a very long way" he said slowly. "So far that 1 could see us as I never was able to see us be- fore"
 Her brow wrinkled with worry. Paul, dearest, what do you mean?"
 "It,s a funny country I went into" he mused. "A country where all the shams and pretenses fall away, and you zee yourself and other people as you and they really are. IL isn't really very plehbhnL, hTuhUl'
 She came and sat down beside him. What Is 1t, dear? don't un- derstand."
 T suppose" he went on, as if he were talking to himself, that we aren't meant to do that. We aren't meant to Bcc ourselves aB we really are. We must have our illusions. We aren't strong enough to get along unless we trap our selves and our lives up in a little glamour. When we get to a place where the illusions dissolve and the glamour fallS away. we don't have anything left"
 He gave her rueful smile.
 You see, my dear" he said. T saw a weakling and romantic coward where I had always seen a king and I looked at the queen of all the earth. who wore the stars on her cloak and had q wonder and marvel in her eyes. and saw"
 He took her hand and stroked it gently. And I saw mortal woman" he said.
