PE eww. nn ands The girls agreed that this was a cap- fal fdea. Constance went upstairs. in the first room she inquired: "Is* Mrs. Vansittart here?" "Yes," said a sweet but rather quer lous voice. : A lady, who Lad already appropria ed the lower bunk, ra sed hers:if o Wt elbow. The little apartment, like every Part of the building, suve the rooms reserved by Brand's directions was packed almost to suffocation. This, "if harmful in one respect, was benefi cial in another. The 'mere animal warmth of 80 many human beings wae grateful atier the freezing effect of the gale on people literally soaked to the skin. The girl, not unmoved by curlosity, held the light so that it illumined Mrs' Vansittart. A woman of forty, no matter how good-looking and well preserved she may be, is in a sorry plight under such conditions. Con: stance saw a beautiful face, deathly White and haggard, yet animated and iclearly chiseled. The eyes were large and lustrous, the mouth firm, the nose| and chin those of a Greek statue. Just now there were deep lines across the base of the high forehead. The thin lips, allied to a transient hawk-like 'gleam in the prominent eyes, gave a momentary. glimpse of a harsh, per haps cruel Wisposition. A charming smile promptly digpelled this fleeting dmpression. Instantly Constance was ware. of having seen Mrs. Vansittart before. So vivid was the fanciful idea that she became tongue-tied. { "Do you want me?" asked the ptranger, with a new interest, and still}. smiling. Constance found herself {wondering if the smile were not cul itivated to hide that faintly caught uggestion of the bird of prey.

"Don't you know that all of you ewe your lives to his daring? He asked me to--to say he was all right, and----tbat he hoped you were not utterly collapsed." The addendum was a kindly one. No doubt, Mr. Pyne had meant her to convey such a message. Mrs. Vansit: tart, it was evident, had received a shock. Perhaps she was a timorous, shrinking woman, averse to the sud: den stare of others. "I 'know nothing," she murmured. "It was all so horrible. Oh,' God! shall I ever forget that scene in the saloon. How the people fought. They were not human. They were tigers, { fierce tigers, with the howls and the baleful eyes of wild beasts." This outburst was as unexpected as her staccato question. Constance bent over her and placed a gentle hand on her forehead. "You must try to forget all that," she said, soothingly. "Indeed, it must have been very terrible. It was dread: {ful enough for us, looking down at things through a mist of foam. For you~~ But there! You are one of the few who escaped. That is every: |{to a ghostly pallor. hing.

She gave me such a queer look, and then smiled quite pleasantly, ayologh. ig for troubling me." Constance lsughed. "Perhaps she knew dad years ago," she said. "What do you think Mr. Pyne said About her?" ! "How can I tell? her to him?" "1 told him she had fainted when you delivered his message. He said: 'Guess she can faint as easy as I can fall off a house.' Isn't he funny?" "I think he is splendid," said Con- stance. , The wresf was-mow wholly demol Ished. The first big wave of the re treating tide enveloped the lighthouse and smote it with thunderous silence. Screams came from the women's quar ters. "Go, Enid," sald Constance. "Tell them they have nothing to fear. They must expect these things to happen for nearly two hours. 'Tell them what dad said. Twenty-five years, you know." : Brave hearts! What infinite pene tration inspired the man who first said "Noblesse oblige!" Constance looked in at the kitchen. Pyne loomed through a fog of 'steam. "Pay no heed to these--" she was Interrupted by another mighty thump and cataract roar-- "these blows of Thor's hammer," she © "Play me for an anvil," he returned. She descended to the depths, to re- assure the men. Talking with shrill cheerfulness at each doorway was easy. It helped her to go down, down, jesiing stone snd iron trembling as surge was hurled many feet above her head. At last, she stood n the lowest floor. Beneath her. feet was naught but granite and iron bars. Here was solidity. How ful to Did you speak of know of this firm base, in the very a, a rap to det mouth, but not of the lighthouse, stro the wledge of its majestic ngth. , Nevertheless, in - this place, the source of her own sense of security, she found uneasiness among the men. They were all sailors in this lowest habitable regisn. Their pre-conceived ideas had been rudely reversed. The ship, the noble structure which defied the storm by yielding to its utmost fury, had for them no terrors. But the stark piilar which flinched from no assault bewildered them. It was impossible to helieve that it could withstand the strain. Ha! Listen to that. The battering-ram of ocean ap- plied to a thin shaft of stone. Surely it must be pounded into fragments. Said one, with indefinite bellow amidst the black: turmoil: "I can't stand this, mates." "Up aloft for me!" cried another. "Let's die with our eyes open, any- how," chimed in a third. But a light flashed in the rolling orbs of the man who was siready on the stairs. Astounded, he drew back. Constance stood in their midst, a mere girl, radiant, smilingly uncon- cerned, addressing them in calm wards, broken only by the [fitful noises. "Sorry your quarters--so very um- pleasant. Only last a--couple 'of hours. Twenty-five years--far worse gales. Want any more cocoa?" "Thank you kindly, miss, we're quite comfortable." This from the y chance.
