CHAPTER 1V. THE VOICE OF THE REEF {{ There comes a time in the life of | every thinking man or woman when the argosy of existence, floating pla: cidly on a smooth and lazy stream, gathers unto itself speed, rushes swiftly onward past familar land: of custom and convention, bolls Turfously over resisting rocks, and ultimately, if not submerged in an | unknown sea, finds iiself again mean- { dering through uew plains of wider | horizon. | Such a perilious passage cian never {be foreseen. The rapids may begin | where the trees are highest and the | meadows most luxuriant. No worn fug 18 given. The increased pace of events is pleasant and . exhilarating. Even the last wild plunge over the | cascade is neither resented nor fear led. Some frail craft are shattered in | transit, some wholly sunken, some eme with riven sails and tarnished embellishments. A few not only sur vive the ordeal, but thereby fit them: selves for more daring exploits, more soulstirring adventures. Wi the two girls stood with Stephen Brand In the narrow entrance, to the lighthouse, the gravity of their bright young faces was due solely to the fact that their father had an bounced the serious accidents which had befallen his assistants. No se cret monitor whispered that fate, in her bold and merciless dramatic ac tion, had roughly removed two char acters from the stage to clear it for more striking events. Not once In twenty years has it happened that two out of the three keepers maintained on a rock station within signalling distance of the shore have become incapacitated for duty on the same day. The thing was so be wilderingly sudden, the arrival of C and Enid on the scene so timely and unexpected, that Brand, a Philosopher of ready decision in most affairs of life, was at a loss what to do for the best now that help, of a sort undreamed of, was at hand. case of Jackson, who was scalded, was simple enough. The Board of Trade medicine chest sup plied" to each lighthouse is a fac simile of that carried by every sea going steamship. It contained the ordinary remedies for such an hjury, and there would be little diffieplty or danger in lowering the sufferer to the it, . But Bates's affair was different. He where he had fallen. Brand had only lifted him into the Store-room from the foot of the stairs, placing a pillow beneath his head, and appealing both to him and to Jackson to endure their now was one of judgment Was it bet- ter to await the coming of the doctor or endeavor to transfer Bates to the boat? He consulted Ben Pollard again; the girls were already climbing the steep stairs to sympathize with and tend to the injured men. : "Do you think it will blow harder, Ben, when the tide turnh?" he asked. { The old fellow seemed to regard the question as most interesting and novel. Indeed, to him, some such query and its consideration provided the chief problem of each day. There fore he surveyed land, sea and sky : At another time Brand would have smiled. Today he was nervous, dis traught, wrenched out of the worn rut of things. "I fancy there Is some chance of the doctor being unable to land when he reaches the rock. Do you agree with me? His voice rang sharply. Ben caught ts note. and dropped his weather-wise sm . "I Wow harder, an' mebbe snaw said, "I shall need some help here in that case, 80 I will retain the young ladies. Of course you can manage the boat -aly Stouth without or "We'm run straight in wi' thiccy wind," he sald. So they settled it that way, all so simply. A men sets up two slim masts a thousand miles apart and flashes com- 'What a difference up here! The soa, its color. Now it was a sullen blue gray. The land was nearer and high er. The Daisy had shrunk to a splash | of dull brown on the tremendous ocean prairie. How fierce and keen the wind! How disconsolate the murmur of the reef! Brand, adjusting his binoculars, scrutiniged the boat. "All right aboard," he said. think we have adopted the wicer course. They will reach Penzance by half-past two." His next glance was towards the Land's End signal station. A Iltne of flags fluttered gut to their right of the SIAL, "Signal noted and forwarded," he read aloud. "That is all right; but the wind Las changed." Enid popped inside the lantern for shelter. 1: was bi'terly cold. "Hetter follow her example, Connie," sald Brand, to his daughter, "I will draw the curtains. We can see just as well and be comfortable." Indeed, the protection of the stout plate glaes, so thick and tough that sea-birds on a stormy night. dashed themselves to painless death against it, was very weicome.. Moreover, though neither of the girls would ad- jit it, there was a sense-of security Heré which was strangely absent when they looked into the abyss beneath the stone 'gallery. Constance balanc ing a telescope, Enid peering through the fleld;glasses, 'followed the pro- gress of the Daisy in silence, but Brand's eyes wandered uneasily from the barometer, which had fallen rap: ldly during the past hour, to the cy: clonic nimbus spreading its dark mass beyond the Seven Stones Lightship. The sun had vanished, seemingly for the day, and the indicator attached to the base of te wind vane overhead pointed now sou"west by west. 1a would not require much further varia tion to bring about a strong blow from the true southwest, a quarter re- sponsible for most of the fierce gales that sweep the English Channel. Nevertheless, this quick darting about of the fickle breeze did not usually betoXen lasting bad weather. 'At the worst the girls might be com: pelled to pass the night on the rock. He knew that the tug with the two relief men would make a valiant effort to reach the lighthouse at the earliest possible moment. When the men joined him the girls could embark, As it was, the affair was spiced with adventure. Were it not for the mis- hap to the assistant-keepers the young people would have enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The new airt of the wind, too, would send the Daisy speed: ily back to port. On the whole, # [ doubtful situation was greatly re- lieved. His face brightened. With a grave humor not altogether artifi clal, he cried: { "Now, Constance, I did not take you aboard as a visitor. Between us we ought to muster a good appetite, Come with me to the store-room. 1 will get you anything you want and leave you in charge of the kitchen." "And poor me!" chimed fn Enid.

The sea was heavier, the noise louder, now that they listened to it, than when they arrived in the Daisy, little more than an hour earlier. Some giant force seémeéd to be wrestling there, raging against its bonds, striving fev- erishly to tear, rend, utterly destroy its invisible fettets. Sometimes, after an unusually impetuous surge, a dark shape, trailing witch-tresses of weed, showed for an instant in the pit of the cauldron. Then a mad whirl of water would pounce on it with a fearsome spring and the fang of rock would be | smothered ten feet deep. For some reason they did not talk. They weré fascinated by the power, the grandeur, the untamed energy of the spectacle. The voice of the reef held them spellbound. They listened mutely.

"My dear child, 1 have always told you that the boat had been in collision during the fog which had prevailed for several days previously.
