The Long Search. Mr. Valentine Arthur Langford was wearily pacing the quarter deck of his magnificent yacht, the Southern Cross. Mr. Langford was an Intensely dis­ appointed and embittered man. He had made two ventures which, by a stretch of language in one case at least, could be called matrimonial, and both of them had resulted in disaster. Death opportunely had relieved him of one arlfe; the other who had stood -In the place of the former without the legal ceremony or the spiritual benediction had vanished under circumstances so mysterious that he had ho Idea wheth­ er she was alive or dead. On a certain night some three years ago he had a dim remembrance that he had be­ haved like a brute to a woman. His remembrance was only dim as to de­ tails- It waa entirely dear as to the %et What had happened as a result of Ms conduct he could not clearly state, fhe next morning the crew had found him lying insensible on the cabin floor with a fractured skull. The woman was gone, also the power boat which had trailed astern of the yacht in the pleasant weather. Such waa his physi­ cal condition that when he was not unconscious, he was delirious. He had been able to give no coherent account of affairs and equally unable to give any directions as to the future move­ ments of the yacht, which had been bound nowhere in particular upon a pleasure cruise. The old Bailing-master and captain, much distressed by the situation and the emergency in which he found him­ self suddenly plunged, decided that his best course, in fact, his only course, was to get back to civilization and a doctor as soon as possible. He had instantly put the yacht about and headed for the nearest land where he might hope to get suitable care for his terribly ill young employer. He pushed the yacht to the utmost speed, and in three weeks dropped anchor In Honolulu, Just In time to save the young man's life. Indeed, for a long time it was touch and go as to wheth­ er his life could be saved at all, and it was not until nearly a year had elapsed before the Southern Cross •ailed for San Francisco with a weak" end shaky, but convalescent owner, on ter quarter deck. ( The departure of Katharine Brenton with Valentine Langford had made a great sensation, but it was nothing to the sensation which raged when it be­ came known that Valentine Langford had returned without her. She was a woman of too much importance, she had played too large a part In the af­ fairs of the world, civilization had manifested too much Interest in her, to allow her to drop out of its sight without at least making an effort to find her. The position of Mr. Valen­ tine Langford became interestingly difficult in the face of a storm of in­ quiry. Mr. Langford's previous mar­ riage was, fortunately for him, un­ known, but the world had had a com­ plete and adequate idea of the terms of the union which had been entered upon so blithely between Langford and Miss Brenton that the first question that met him when he came back alone waa as to which one had repented. Had the woman come to her senses, had the man grown tired of her, had they parted, and where was the wom­ an? These were queries which were put to him with the direct simplicity of the American public through its impe­ rious representatives, the reporters. And to these questions Mr. Langford could return ao adequate answer what­ ever except the truth, which he could not brine himself to t«ll He de^ elared that she had left the yacht in the South seas, that he did apt know her present whereabouts, »ad rtfused to say anything further privately or in public. Miss Brenton had no near relations; what was everybody's busi­ ness was nobody's, and presently pub­ lic interest in her declined. She and her philosophy were practically .for­ gotten by 611 but LwigiOfu hiuISSlf. Fortune, which had done him some evil turns, here, however, interposed to his advantage. The lady who legally bore his name departed this life and left him a free man. Brute though he had been, Langford was not without some strong idea of honor and de­ cency. Indeed, he had enjoyed long and undistributed hours of meditation upon his sins of omission and commis­ sion during his period of convales­ cence, and the calm consideration of character and career had done him good. At heart, in spite of his brutal cdhduct, for which drink had largely been responsible, he was a gentleman, and capable of things fine and high under the stimulus of some really great emotion. He had come to real­ ize, to put it mildly, what an awful fool he had been to say nothing of his villainy. What had led bim to this realization had been the remembrance of the hours he had passed with Kath­ arine Brenton before the clouds had arisen which had culminated in that awful storm, the recollection of which fairly made him shudder. However, he had deceived her by professed ad­ herence to her wild theories and im­ possible philosophies, he had honestly loved her, and association with her had been of benefit to him. If he oaly ih&u not ^i uWiij" to his tern-' per and his appetite! If it had not beten for his former obligation! He had married his wife in a mo­ ment of boyish infatuation. The union had been impossible almost from the first She was little more than an adventuress, much older than he, who had entrapped him for his money. There had been a separation on a lib­ eral financial basis, to which the wom­ an had readily, even cheerfully, agreed, and he had no lingering re­ mains of affection to hold him back. Her death was only a relief to him. He felt that he owed reparation to Katherine Brenton, and he was more willing to pay the debt because he was honestly and genuinely in love with her BO far as a man of his tempera­ ment could be in love with a woman. He wanted to make amends for his treatment. He would have given any­ thing he possessed to have been able to say how ashamed he was of all that he had done, and to beg her to forgive him and marry him. The death of his father and the ne- ceesity for the administration of the vaBt Interests of the bonanza king's estate prevented him from at once engaging upon the search which he promised himself he would make, but he expedited matters, sometimes to his OWQ loss, as rapidly as he could, and after nearly a year's stay in San Francisco, he found himself in posi­ tion to undertake his quest For a year thereafter he and the Southern Gross traversed the unexplored, unvis- ited waters of the South seas. He had landed upon island after Island which he had examined with minute particularity. . Some he had found in­ habited by natives, whom, through in­ terpreters he had procured, he ques­ tioned unavailingly. He ran acrosa stray vessels trading among the is­ lands, and through them with con­ stantly increasing, ever widening me­ diums, he carried on his search, but without result. In thus sweeping the Pacific, he visited everything that was charted, and all that he could find that was not, and was now homeward bound, convinced that the launch must have foundered and that he would never solve the mystery of her disap­ pearance. So assiduously had xhe prosecuted his search that the crew of the South­ ern Cross, who knew nothing as to the cause of the eagerness, with the ex­ ception of the ship master, looked upon him as a harmless visionary. They had been away so long and had visited so many islands with so much hardship, oftentimes with BO much danger from uncharted reefs in the un­ known seas that they were one and all wildly anxious to return from the, to them, aimless wandering. If he had communicated to them at the first his quest, they would have shared his eagerness, but he kept it to himself, as he had kept his own counsel in San Francisco, and he straitly charged his sailing master to say nothing of it. Consequently the lookout on the fore-topmast cross-tree on a certain summer morning, catching sight of a dim, blue haze on the horizon far off to starboard, made no report of it. What was the use? It would only de­ lay matters and they were within a few weeks of Honolulu now, and an­ other fortnight beyond Hawaii would bring them back to the United States, for which they all longed with the de- aire of men who had been away from home and confined to the narrow decka of a cruising ship for over a year. Something--as to whether it was Providence or not he was somewhat doubtful in his mind afterward-- brought Langford on deck before his usual time for rising. The watch was in charge of a rather sleepy, stupid second oAeer, unimaginative and un­ observant. He had not noticed the land which it was difficult to see from the deck at any rate, especially as it did not lie between the yacht and the sun, and as it had not been reported from the masthead, he knew nothing of it. Langford had found sleep impos­ sible. The j ear of search, the constant disappointment, the pressing sense of mystery, the feeling that his conduct was indeed irreparable had preyed upon him. He was thin, worn, nervous and irritable. He walked up and down the deck in the cool of the morning thinking. For three years practically he had had this woman before hie eyes as the goal of his efforts. Now she was gone, and he must concen­ trate his life upon something else. He g£«ed Jaugukily mu iudifferastly about the horizon, his unpractical eye noticipi^ nothing fcrr a time. Sudden- lTrlK»w*y«r, starini off to starboard _ - % s ji r,9 w •'»5P /. The island waa perceptibly nearer. Capt. Harper waa forward staring through the glass. Running along the waist Langford joined him on the forecastle. "Can you make out anything?" said Mr. Langford Was an Intensely Dis­ appointed and Embittered Man. listlessly during a pause in his steady tramp, he thought he caught a glimpse of light. He looked idly In the direc­ tion whence the reflection had come for a few moments and saw it again; a thin cloud of smoke, or was it haze, rose above it He was puzzled by it of course, and stood staring. The con­ centration in his gaze, he thought, dis­ covered to him a cloudy blink in the gray of the dawn which might mean land. He knew there was no land charted in those seas, for he had care­ fully studied the chart the night be­ fore, saying nothing to anyone, for be had become somewhat sensitive about the matter. He ran down the companion ladAer into his cabin and fetched thence a new and powerful glass, which, upon his return to the deck, he focused upon the distant point of light. By the aid of those powerful binoculars he made out what it was. He was a man of quick decision and purpose. He called the officer to him, pointed to the light, and handed the glasa to the man in question. "What do you make of that, Mr. Holtaman?" The officer took a quick look through the glasses, handed them back to their owner, and said laconically: "Land! Fire! Smoke, sir." "Head the yacht to that island at once." "Very good, air," said the officer, turning to the man at the wheel and ordering the helm to he put aport The yacht's bows swung slowly round until the island and the light were both dead ahead. "Now, Mr. Holtzman," said Lang­ ford, when the maneuver was com­ pleted, "who is at the masthead?" "I'll see, sir," answered the second officer, stepping forward. "Bring him to me," said the owner as the officer turned away. In a few moments- the officer came back to the quarterdeck followed by one of the seamen. The man looked very much frightened, for Langford was lh a towering passion, and when he was in a passion he waa not a pleasant spectacle. "Did you see that laland yonder?" began the owner, fiercely. "I--er--" "Answer me!" "Yes, sir," said the man, desperately. "You did?" "Yes, sir." "Why didnt yon report it?** The man hesitated, shifting from <me foot to another, muttered some­ thing about a wild goose chase. Car­ ried away by anger, Langford sprang at him, and would have done him bod­ ily violence, had he not been quickly restrained by the second officer. "Mr. Langford, sir," said Holtzman, grasping him tightly, "recover your­ self, sir." The check was sufficient. "Go forward!" cried Langford, con­ trolling himself With difficulty. "Mr. Holtzman. send for Capt Hanper." "Very good, sir," answered the offi­ cer. "And meanwhile you are to keep straight for that island until further orders." In a few momenta the old captain presented himself before the owner. "Harper," began the young man, im­ periously, "the lookout this morning deliberately failed to report that land, that island yonder. I want him disrat­ ed and his pay stopped. Put him in the gig and set him ashore at the first civilized port** "Very well, sir," said the old sailing master, not daring to rontons trate un­ der such circufnstances. "Do you know that island?" contin­ ued Langford. -No, sir,' answered Harper. "Tie not set down in any chart I have never heard of it before. "Harper," said the other, laying his hand upon the old man's arm, "it** our last chance. We are passing out of the region of these islands. If she be not there, we shall never flnfl hey," "I am afraid not sir." "I have an idea that our quest Is going to be successful this morning." He Focussed Upon the Distant Point of Light. returned Langford, eagerness flushing his thin face. "I hope so, sir," answered the other. "There is somebody on the Island, evi­ dently, for they have lighted a fire. It should be a signal. It might be say- ages of some kind." "It's not likely. Why should they signal a ship? And how should there be savages on a lonely island like this, 500 miles away from any other land? You may depend upon it captain tis some castaway who wants help, and why not she? Indeed, I am aure it must be." Something of the man's confidence infected the old sailor. He took up the glass from where it lay on the cabin skylight and going forward stud- led the Island. " Tis one of those volcanic islands, I take it," he said as he came back. "It seems to be covered with trees. There is a hill rising from the midst of it The fire is on the top. There should be an encircling reef round about it, and deep water up to the very barrier.'* "Could you see anything else?" "No, sir. No glasa would reveal any­ thing more at this distance. Try for yourself. Mr. Langford." He handed the binoculars to the owner, but his own scrutiny revealed nothing more than the captain had told him. "How are we going now?" he said, looking over the side. "About eight I should judge, air," answered Harper. 'Let us have foil speed until we get nearer." "Very good, sir." The captain turned and spoke a word to the second officer, who sig­ naled to the engine room, and in a few moments the motion of the great vessel through the water was percep­ tibly accelerated. "Have you had your breakfast Mr. Langford?" asked the captain, at last. "Not yet." "Then if youll allow me, air, I think you would better get It. We won't be within landing distance of that Island for an hour or an hour and a half. In fact, we'll presently have to slow down. I don't like to dash in full tilt so near land through these unknown waters, and you will do well air, to go below and get a bite to eat" "Your advice is good," said Lang­ ford, turning away and altering the cabin- Never had man less appetite than he. Somehow, he could not tell why, he felt certain that this which would be his last attempt would not prove fruitless: that his search hitherto un­ availing would now be rewarded. He took time to re-examine the chart of those seas. It was quite possible he thought, for the woman to have made that particular laland before them from the point at whleh she had left the ship. The more he studied it, the more sure he became. He forced him­ self to break his fast, but in a short' time he waa on deck once more. J VUUQ Iiinu, watCuiug the old Cue by the arm. "Aye," was the answer. "Is she there?" he asked, hoarsely, his heart in his mouth. "There is a figure on the weather side of the fire yonder." "A figure!" asked^Langford, trem­ bling so he could scarcely control him­ self. "Is it a woman?" "1 can't tell. It's too far off." "Give me the glass." "I make out, another figure, There are two of them," returned Harper slowly lowering the glass and hand­ ing It to Langford. 'Two!" cried the other, rapidly fo­ cusing" the glass, disappointment In his tone which he strove to keep out of u« heart. "You are right," he said at last, "there are two figures, but 'tis impossible to make them out." He handed the glass back to the captain, who in his turn fixed it again upon the i3)and. "They are going down the hill," said Harper. "I have lost them among the trees. We are approaching swiftly," he continued. "Mr. Holtzman, half Bpeed, if you please." Bells jangled below as Mr. Holtz­ man rapidly set the Indicator and the speed of the yacht WBB quickly checked. She still approached the is­ land with sufficient rapidity, however, and after perhaps 15 minutes of easy going, Capt. Harper signaled her to stop, fearful of any nearer approach. "What now?" asked the owner. "I think we had- better not chance tt nearer, sir," Bald the captain. "It is not more than a half-mile to the shore. Shall I call away the launch, or will you be rowed?" The launch was stowed amidships; the gig swung from the davits. It would be quicker to take the gig. "I'll be rowed," said Langford. And in a moment the voice of the boatswain's mate could be heard call­ ing away the crew. All hands were on deck. The conversation between the captain and the owner had been hq|rd by many, and their tenor com­ municated to all. Consequently when the gig manned by six of the best oarsmen in the Bhip dropped alongside and Langford descended to the stern sheets and took the tiller In his hand; the crew spontaneously manned the rail end sent him off with three ring­ ing cheers. It did not take the men long to cover the distance between the mo­ tionless ship, and the island. As they approached the latter, they perceived the barrier reef, which, unless they could find an opening, would effectual­ ly prevent their getting on the shore Langford swung the boat about at a Judicious distance from the reef, over which the sea always broke with more or less force, and closely scrutinized the line of foam. The coxswain of the boat who rowed the stroke oar also followed with his eyes the jagged reef. It was he who detected the two figures on the beach of the island wa­ ving palm branches and apparently pointing. He called the attentlop of Langford to the figures, and suggest­ ed that the Inhabitants were trying to show an opening through the barrier. • Following the indicated direction presently smooth water was discov­ ered. Langford headed the boat for It The men bent to their oars, and soon parted the quiet waters of the lagooii. The two figures stood In plain view upon the beach still too far for those in the boat to make out who they were. Langford could only see that one was taller than the other; that both were dressed in Bome sort of loose tunic that fell to the knees and left the arms bare. He was dis­ appointed, and yet hopeful. The sus­ pense was almost unbearable. The men were doing their utmost, seeing the anxiety in his face, but their ut­ most was too slow for the impatient WHO HAVE t -Mif ,i.v CHAPTER XIV. Past and Present. "How long do you think It will be before they will be here?" asked the man, after they had sat silent on the hill to windward of the fire watching the trail of smoke. "I should think that it would be per­ haps an hour or a little more. Why?" she returned, after a moment' pause. "Are you anxious to have them here?" For the life of her she could not keep the bitterness out of her ques­ tion. The man looked at her in sur­ prise. /She had never lost her temper bofore him in the years they had been together. There had been something singularly simple, free and unre­ st rained in their life. Nothing had ever occurred to vex her, at least cot after the man had known enough to notice it. She was a woman of suuny, even temper under any circumstances, and shf> had felt it incumbent upon her to be as nearly perfect as possible, since she represented humanity to him, nor had it been a difficult task for her to be gentle. This flash of re­ sentment, therefore, struck him as something entirely novel. In his amazement for a moment he forgot the injustice of ft, the unklndneBS of it He looked at her strangely and said to her, \with a little touch of se­ verity: ^ "You know^that It is not that woman." 1 He had no terms of endearment He had never heard the words that lovers use, and although he knew that her name was Katharine, and he be­ lieved that his was John, and though sometimes they made use of these names, generally they called each oth­ er by the broad generic terms which stood for sex. Names are only for differentiation and identification in any event, and here was ho need for such appellation. She loved to call him "Man," and she loved to hear him call her "Woman." "You know," he said, "that 'tie not 1 who brought the world upon us." "I was unjust unkind," she an­ swered quickly enough, stretching out her hand to htm. "You must forgive me. You see even the approach of yonder ship brings bitterness, into apt hearts and into our speech." "I guessed that it would .be SO whea I aaw you weep," said the man- "I wish now that I had not given jrou the flint and steel; that I had not allowed you to light the beacon." "My friend. It had to tie.' Qpn't ?#> proach yourself for that. Sooner or later this island would have been Ited by, some one. Soonejr or later the ship would have coma t?- fetch ua off." ' ' "But We were so happy here," hi protested. "Yes," she answered, "but not aliis yesterday." "Are you unhappy because I lore you?" "Because," she made swift to reply, "I, am no longer aura that you win love me always." .' • „ "But you love me, do you not?" ha questioned, eagerly. "Yes." "Are you sure of yourselfV "Absolutely." "Why not of me, then? Am I leaa true? Do I love leas than you?" "Not now." "What is the difference between us, then?" "I have seen the world and you have not" "But I tell you that will make no difference; that--" "No man can say that who haa no experience to draw upon." "You are my mentor," said the man, gently, "You have taught me all I know, but sometimes I think that about some things I know more than you, and this is one thing of which I am sure." "Yes," said the woman, "you caa be sure so long as conditions remain as they are at present, but other times, other manners--" "You have something to tell meT" Interposed the other, swiftly. The woman nodded. "You said yesterday you would tell me to-day. Why not tell me now?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Head-on collisions on railroads are commonly caused by disregard of sig­ nals; this head-on collision on a side­ walk was due to quite another cause. It was between two baby carriages, the engineers being two mothers, and each vehicle containing one small pae- senger. ' These two baby carriages in a shop­ ping street were being propelled from opposite directions on the same line. Usually in such circumstances baby carriages turn out to pass when they meet, bat on this occasion the two mothers propelling the baby oarriages had both become engrossed in the dis­ play In a shop window they were pass­ ing and so engrossed they both kept on advancing, with no thought of wbat they were doing, with the space be­ tween the carriages tsteadily narrow­ ing. narrowing, narrowing, until the first thing you know, kerbunk! They bumped right into each other in a headon eollision. Both engineers bad seen so wrapped up in what they saw In the window done, and now with their attention brought back by the shock of the col­ lision they both smiled and pulled their carriages back enough to free the interlocked wheels and then each turned out and passed on.
