For a time they sailed the sea in silence. 3 The clouds had broken and left a clear I sky, whence the moon had flooded the i ocean with her silvery light. But the [breeze came fltfully and gradually f died away where they were now under the lee of the land. It was such a ; night as lovers dream of. They loved E and they were together, side by side, Salone, in the soft autumnal night, ‘ adrift on a summer sea. There was i that in the past which kept them 3 silent, and yet in their very proximity, Q in the hands that touched and clasped {each other, the head that nestled on ?his shoulder, the arm that encircled 3 her waist, the lips that met, the eyes j that spoke-there was a sweetness i which neither had ever known he- fore. The gentle wind whispered of I love. The curling, lipping waves ca- _ ressed the keel with sounds like kisses, fand to it all their hearts kept time. - It was a respiteâ€"a lull between two phases of the conflict. There was love 5 and there was peace in the little boat, E and war and tumult were far at on i the horizon. in the boat at his feet. O’Neill held the tiller with one hand. the other lightly stroked her golden head. She was perfectly content. Everything was out of her heart but he and the pres- ent. She was very still. He could see the soft curve of her cheek resting upon her sweet white hand in the moonlight After one of the little in- tervals of silence he looked down upon her again. She made no motion, and did not reply to a word he said softly, and he discovered that she was asleep. He did not wonder. The experiences of the past few days would have killed The white Serapis and her consort were far. far ahead, going fast and leaving a long white wake across the sea. They seemed to have kept the breeze which had failed the small boat. Coming up from the southward he could see the black shapes of the Rich- ard and her attendant ships. What would he have given to be upon the deck by the side of that dauntless cap- tain! But even could he approach the two ships that privilege would be de- nied him, for honor demanded that he present himself upon the deck of the Serapis without delay. It might be that it would be too late even then to save Coventry, but he would go and do his best. When the boat lost way'he sat a moment in indecision. He was so loath to waken the tired girl. but it was necessary. Gently he raised her head. “What advantage would that be to me?” he asked her. “Well, mufifiltmlnourdm- cussing it amt m”jho~answered. “We do not advance!” she cried, a note of joy in her voice as her ear de- tected the flapping of the Ball. “The wind has died out. She laughed trl- umphantly. “We shall never reach them." ,“And poor Coventry?” said O’Neill. “I cannot help it,” she answered sim- ply. “I think only of you. Now. If 1 could go back alone and take his plum and let you :0 tree I would cheerfully do that." “Why, my dearest,” she said, “was I asleep? What has happened?

She drew away from him and knelt down in the boat and buried her face in her hands2 leaning upon the weather gunwale. He looked at her a moment, and before, the pathetic abandonment of her grief his anger melted. She was a woman. With her, love was all. “Elizabeth," he laid tenderly, “the bitterness of having caused that good man's death, his apparent dishonor, overwhelmed me. I love you, as you know, more than life itself. You are a woman. You see things dilierently. There is nothing above love in a woman’s heart. Come back to me.

He was a handsome, dashing young sailor, the picture of sea gallantry as he ran lightly up the ladder from the main deck and stopped before the little captain of the Bon Homme Richard, standing on the weather side of the poop surveying the scene. “Very good, sir,” said the little m... nodding his head, but not turning toward his executive omcer. “Look yonder,” he'added, pointing ahéa’d and toward the shore.

She was right. It was a perfectly hopeless task. The nearest ships were now ten or a dozen miles away, and going farther, when a flash of light pierced the darkness on the horizon, followed some time after by the roar of a heavy gun. mast and thrusting out the oars, which he handled with the skill of long prac- tice and strong arms. The difference of speed between the boat and the two ships was now of course greater than before. “I must do it alone as best I can, then,” said O'Neill, leaving her side and going forward and nnstepping the “I will not, I tell you!” she sald. “Frankly, I do not wish to.
