"BELOVED CASTAWAY" By MARTHA BANNING THOMAS Karen Chase leaves her home in the little town of Two Rivers to travel to a far-off place where she can forget forget the bitterness and unhappiness brought to her and her dead mother and father by a vengeful woman, Mrs. Masters, who as a girl had loved loved Karen's father and had been spurned by him, and had, in revenge, concocted a malicious scheme whereby whereby she had brought him to financial ruin. Karen goes to the little fishing village of . Smoke Mountain. There she stays with Peg OTarrfel, devoting her time to tending the villagers in their illnesses. Meanwhile, Peg's fisherman son, Job, has fallen in love with Karen, CHAPTER IV Karen sat for a long time, ' thinking thinking o'ver what she had related to Job. Of the last dreadful words of Mrs, Masters concerning her mother, she naturally had not spoken. But the pain of them stayed with her and prevented her from being wholly free of her old life. She could not forget as she wished to forget. She rose at last, from the nicht in the rock wall, and started home. The thought of living her life at, Smoke mountain as Job's wife gave new and poignant emphasis to everything. everything. The great tides forever in her ears. The fishing dories go_ ing out, at daylight. The strong winds that raked the land so that the trees were bent in one continual shudder. She would know them, hear them, see them always now. She gathered some wild roses and when she reached home, she asked peg O'Farrel, for a drinking glass. "I'm going to put these in Job's room," she said. "They're right pretty," smiled Peg. "But they'll be closed up tight by the 'time he gets home. That's the sorrow of them -- they wither quick, away from their own place-- like people that's been uprooted." During the days that followed, Karen saw little of Job. He left the house early every day, and returned late. He seemed to avoid her. Twice a week, came the packet from Mickle Bay to Smoke Mountain. And on one of these trips, a stranger arrived. Job, baiting trawl on the wharf, gave Mm a hand up the ladder. ladder. "A fine-looking man he is, too," he told his mother later. "A city chap, I'd say--not from around these parts. And right away he asked if a Miss Chase lived here." Job's lips closed firmly. "Chase?" Peg wrinkled up her forehead. "Never heard tell of such a person, have you?" Job mumbled an answer and went out to find Karen. She was sitting on the woodpile, in the clear sunshine. He came and stood before her. She looked up at him mischievously. mischievously. "I've not seen you for so long, .1 obA-T want to check up and see if I've forgotten a freckle or something." something." He did not smile. "I wanted to tell you that a stranger arrived here today. He asked asked me right away if a Miss Chase lived here." Karen turned white. ■ For seven years, no one had called her by that name. She asked what the man was like. "A. tall, good-looking feller. He brought a lot of luggage. Says he's an artist, and has come here to - do some painting." "What's his name--do you know?" "Mr. MacLeod. And he's staying down to Sandy Trew's place in the village," . / . .. Washed Ashore That afternoon, Karen walked the bluffs alone. She felt uneasy and disturbed over Job's report of the stranger. On the bluffs, she met queer old Cain Sawyer, a shriveled figure in flapping jacket and wide trousers. "How'd do, Miss Leader," he piped at her. "Fine day." "Yes, Mr. Sawyer." Always, when she saw him, she suffered a slight shock, though he iiSSi SÏ5S bastssi® R fcsssiif : V WF";. A, . 'lAto./.'

Now, he came close to her. "Ye know, dont ye," he confided in a hoarse undertone, "that they found my little feller's clothes, all tore terrible, -and washed ashore ? His sailor cap with the blue ribbon onto it, and one teenty rubber boot?" The old man did not wait for an answer. "He was drowned, the little feller, right off the old bluff here--on them rocks below. They .never found him. I was off cruising. And the little feller wandered up here unbeknownst to his ma." He gazed at Karen with intent, feverish eyes. She nodded over this familiar story that she had heard time and again. "Now, Sandy Trew's little feller," he went on, "ain't near so strong as my own lad-- but he's a-living on, and mine's drowned. That's a queer thing, ain't it?" His eyes hall: closed, closed, as if over a secret he would hide from her. Then, he trotted off, his loose jacket and wide trousers flapping in the wind.

She climbed down the bluffs to the niche in the rocks, and she sat there thinking thinking that her own bitterness was a small trouble compared to the stark suffering of this father over his "little feller." Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice, hailing her from above. "I beg pardon, but would you be kind enough to tell me if a path goes all the way around these rocks to the other side of this point?" Karen straightened up with a jerk.
