thursday skpteuber ntb 1919 the adton free press qiiff 3tor jrpsn ljnrt gturg dangerous rocks oeilge ethelbekt wa3u mv yle whitman reflected wiln jelief that tho old feud bctyrccn the two families iiad passed wltjj tho drath ol captain nehcmlali and th capo light would asaln bo simply beacon guiding vessels safely up and down the coast instead of symbol of mans spite and malice the quarrel over keeping the light had started genera tions before and had continued unabated through tho lnbervcnlng years until it was byword in tho little ilshlng town of bayswater captain nchcmlah halstead was tho last of the old line keepers jucharj halstead hla nephew who had acted as assistant would of course succeed him that was foregone conclusion for lyle had refused to carry on the fued he had withdrawn voluntarily from tho running lucliard and his sister audrey luid not exactly accepted the ollv branch of pcico tliat ho had ottered them but at least they hud tmtn on ipealdiur terms lylc decided to kip at thn cax luht on hli way from lortland to olfcr ftichard hla condolence thu cape light was on iplt of jand that liad origlnuuy been pirt of thj mainland tlui trojon of the ten and tho jihifting poutr of the tide had eventually made it an tlmul lyle now sailed to tlio bu side of the iiund and anchored hla sloop at the dock walking up the hell path to the lltfhuloui minute he rif4id no rfpoiue but ilv minuui later tlu door of the tiny housu at the foot of the toutr optnud and audrey uultc ad ttood framed in the ohlni shu una comely girl cf twenty ulth blue ejt and red hair all the hal leads

tile girl added quickly no dick hnt here hes gone to port land she turned as though xo closo the door lyle paused second and then conscious of subtle antagonism and irritated by tlie thought that audrey believed he had some tlilsh rhotlvo in tallhig he wiilrled around and walked back to hi ilooj if she wanted to think he was taking advantage of lier unrles death to renew tho old rivalry for poeslon of the light let her think no as if would giv up my job to bo keeper ha laughed to himself fev minutes later recovering ills good humor liy diligence and luurd work lyle hud built up profitable carrying trade be tuecn portland and bayswater with ills sloop three tripd week sometimes four he made carr ing lumber lime cement and even coal it was trade too small for regularly established line but very profitable for small satllnjr vessel tile young man now headed for bayn uater to discliarge ida cargo and reload for tlie return trlry once more he con cluded lie would wash hl hands of the whole affair and forget there ever was feud between his family and the hal fluads lyle made another trip to portland and return with cargo of lumber richard was good keener he renocud for the light burned with unfailing regularity lyle wandered if audrey cwoumcontnue tolhe on uiouland with her brother many keepers alonj tlto coast had women assistants and licrluips audrey would aspire to that position wlieii hbi cargo of lumber was dis charged lyle loaded up with miscel laneous assortment of merchandise and early the fallowing afternoon started for iiu return trip to imrtland when al most abreast of tile island sidney nor aon alio acted as mate cook and curo shifter suddenly remarked hey lyle soiiiohjuys waving to us reckon some things uronj tliere oil the island it took but glance for lyle to se2 tliat it as audrvy signalling to him he ordered the sloop to be put about whentliey readied the small dock he jumped ashore any thing the master audrey he asked are you going to portland ll le alie demanded when the young man nodded slie add ed quickly dicks tliere and liasnt come back yet im uorrled about him uuh ill look lillrt up when did he go the day ulur

nothing murmured audrey try ing make light of her task but tile shadows under her eyes did not support her words lylo said nothing more far ho saw mingled pride and uimillatlon in her face her brother long absence had so worrkd audrey tliat she had called upon him for help this after their last interview must have been doubly liard lylo did not ask for any reason of her brothers absence for back in his mind he was vaguely disturbed hy rumors which if true might explain the situa tion hlchard had been keeping bad com pany lately and there hod been talk of quarrels with captain nehemlah ho uas weak rather than vicious youth easily influenced and led by his com panions ajf lylo returned to tho moop and continued hli voyage he alinrcd jomo of audrey worry tlio lighthouse itrvlo doinalided of jlj employcea some thing more than loyalty they hud to have character us well what did it avail if keeper way bravo and courage oiii if hlmind uas befogged by uriuo on his uay to portland lylo doclded he nould not only hunt up richard and bring him back but try to act the part of bltf brother perhuni he could gain tome liuiia ncc over him und imprc him ulth ulu ntfed of goliu uralghl nov that he uu

aio but thej did not know vi litre he uas hanging out now hi ireful mnrch uni without avail iyle delaed hit return trip by twenty four hour and then orrou fully itarted back to biy water uithout the ntln hu dtluy caiitd him to run into norm head ulnd and lieavy teaj furthir delayed him and uhen the cape light dually came into view the njgn uat well ndvanced without the guid ance of the light he never could have reached port the sloop nt docked nt bay su ater about midnight bv lyle instead of eeking rtst hurried to the lighthouse on such dark ctormy night an assist ant una needed as toon as he landed nt the dock he hurried up to the tower tlrtd and sleepy from her long vigil audrey met him with eager expectancy in her ejes when she saw he was alone her fortitude broke you didnt find dick she faltered ulth quivering lips not this trip audrey but will on the next he promised now you can trust me know all about it ill look after the light and you go below and take sleep yes can trust you sho murmured weakly of course you know all about it some day dome day soon youll be keeper tlie old hostility flared up lyle shook his head no ill never be keeper dont want the job jdickj going to succeed his uncle its up to us to put him on his feet no one need know hes been absent for nearly week lyle was amply rewarded for all he had done by the expression in her eyes he knew that at that moment tlio old feud had been burled so deeply that nothing could revive it up there at the top of the huge tower looking across at the angry seas he prayed as lie never had before for help and guidance he uould find richard and bring him home two days later lyle was in portland again and he renewed i1l3 search but ho was forced anally to sail without hav ing accomplished his purpose tho re action had shaken and discouraged hun say ie remarked norton as they sailed out of the harbor this is the biggest tide wdvo had in years hojv about taking tho inside route plenty if water over tho rocks and well save ten hours aii right sid lay her course for tlw inside route lie inside route lay between scries of lowlying rocky islands that wero teldom visited it was dangerous except when tho tide was high taking ad vantage of the season sidney skillfully navigated tlie old route until they come to tho hpii and chickens scries of dangerous rocks tliat seemed set down there to trap vessels lylo walked aft then and stood by tho wheel to render any help needed this is tlio worst part of the channel ho remarked its pretty narrow and crooked hero yef sir and shoal too however uo can get through lylo glanced around and uttered an exclamation of nurpritc somebody was wrecked on sowm island and was fran tically trying to attract their attention anchor here sldl ho exclaimed ill lake the small boat it isnt safe to proceed nearer the anchor chains rattled and tlio tloop cuuuj to stop in mldchantii lyle jumped into thu small boat and rowed in tho direction of sows island not until ho
