When It was quite dark, WhItaker brought a lantern to the door and called her, and they went forth to­ gether. As he had promised, he had built up three towering pyres, widely apart When all three were in full, roaring flame, their illumination was hot and glowing over all the upland. It fceeined impossible that the world should not now become cognizant of their distress. At some distance to the north . of the greatest fire--that nearest the farm-house--they sat as oh the previ­ ous night, looking out over the black and unresponsive waters, communing together in undertones. B: In that hour they learned much of one another; much that had seemed strange and questionable assumed, in the understanding of each, the com- •%*' , . pletion of the normal and right. Whit- t ~X aker spoke at length and In much de- ^ tall of his Willful Missing years with- out seeking to excuse the wrong-mind- ed reasoning which had won him his fea own consent to live under the mask of death.

He looked up quickly what are you thinking of?" ,"Oh--nothing. But rye got to think of something." She came nearer. Intuitively alarmed and pleading. "Hugh, you wouldn't leave rae heee alone?" "Don't be afraid," he said evasively. "I'll be here--as always--when you wake up." She disappeared; the light of her lamp faded, flickering in the draught of the hall, stencilled the wall with its evanescent caricature of the bal­ ustrade. aud*g&& no longer Visible. "Hugh voice rang from the upper floor. He started violently out of deep ab­ straction, and replied Inquiringly. "You won't forget to lock the door?" He swore violently beneath his breath; controlled his temper and re­ sponded pleasantly: "Certainly not" Then he shut the outside door grlth a convincing bang. "If this be marriage . . . I" He smiled his twisted smile. Leaving the kitchen light turned low, he went to his own room and, as on the previous night threw him­ self upon the Bed without undressing; but this time with no thought of sleep. Indeed, he had no expectation of clos­ ing his eyes in slumber before the next night, at the earliest; he had no intention other than tQ ̂ attempt to swim to the nearest land.' An hour dragged out its weary length, and the half of another. He rose, with infinite precaution against making any noise. Slowly, on tiptoes, Whitaker stole toward the door, out Into the hall, took a single step on toward the kitchen; and then, piercing suddenly the abso­ lute stillness within the house, a board squealed like an .anln^al be­ neath his tread. In an Instant he heard the thud and patter of her footsteps above, her loud, quickened breathing as she leaned over the balustrade, looking down, and her cry of dismay: "Hugh! Hugh!" He halted, saying In an even voice: "Yes, It Is I." She had always seen him; there was no use trying to get away without her knowledge now; be­ sides, he was no sneak-thief to fly from a cry. He burned with resentment, Impatience and indignation, but he waited stolidly enough while the woman flew down the stairs to his side. "Hugh," she demanded, white-faced and trembling, "what Is the matter? Where are you going?" He moved his shoulders uneasily, forcing a short laugh. "I daresay you've guessed It. Undoubtedly you have. Else why--" He didn't finish save by a gesture of resignation. "You mean you were going--going to try to swim to the mainland?" "I meant to try it," he confessed. "I should have known!" she de­ clared passionately. "I was asleep, but I knew the instant you stirred." "It must be done," he muttered. "Please--" "But It must not be crone! Hugh!" Her voice ascended. "I--I can't let yeu. I won't let you! You . . . It'll be your death--you'll drown. I shall have let you go to your death--" "Oh, now, really--" he protested. "But, Hugh, I know It! I feel It here." A hand strayed to rest, flut­ tering, above, her heart. "If I should let you go . . . Oh, my dear one, don't, don't go J" "Mary," he began hoarsely, "I tell you--" "You're only going, Hugh, because ... b e c a u s e I l o v e y o u s o I . . . I a m afraid to let you love me . That's true, Isn't It? Hugh--It's true?" He mumbled an almost Inaudible avowal of his intention. "Hugh, you're killing me I If ,yoi love me--" He gave a gesture of despair and rapituiation. "I've done my best, Mary. I meant to do the right thing. I--" "Hugh, you mean you woh't go?*? Joy frt>m a surcharged heart rang vi­ brant in every syllable uttered In that marvelous voice. But now he dared meet tier eyes. Yes," he said. "I won't go--" nodding, with an apologetic shadow of his twisted smile. "I can't if . . . It distresses you." "Oh. my dear, my dear!" Whitaker started, staggered with amaze, and the burden of his wife In his arms. Her own arms clipped him close. Her fragrant, tear-gemmed face brushed his. He knew at last the warmth of her sweet "mouth, the dear madness of that first caress. Then through the magical hush of that time when the world stood stU\, the thin* clear, vibrations of a distant hall: "Aho-oy!" In his embrace his. Wife stiffened and lifted her head to listen like a startled fawn. "Listen I" He held up his hand. This time It rang out more near and most unmistakable: "Ahoy! The bouse, ahoy!" With the frenzied leap of a madman, Whitaker flung out Into the dim, sil­ very witchery of the night He stood staring, while the girl stole to his side and caught his arm. He passed it round her, lifted the other hand, dumbly pointed toward the northern beach. For the moment he could not trust himself to speak. In the sweep of the anchorage a small, white yacht hovered ghostlike. Oa the be&rh Itself a small bofct Disappearance. Seldom, perhaps, has a habitation been so unceremoniously vacated as was the solitary farmhouse on that isolate^ Island. Whitaker delayed only long enough to place a bill, bor­ rowed from Ember, on the kitchen table. In payment for what provi­ sions they had consumed, and to ex­ tinguish the lamps and shut the door. Ten minutes later he occupied a chair beneath an Awning on the after deck'of the yacht, and, with a blessed cigar fuming in the grip of his teeth, stored back to wher%thelr rock of ref­ uge was swiftly blending into a small dark blur upon the face of the waters. "Ember," he demanded querulously, "what the devil is that place?" "You didn't know?" Ember asked, amused. "It Is No Man's Land." "I'm strong for its sponsors in bap­ tism. And the other-- r* "Martha's Vineyard. That's Gay head--the headland with the light­ house. Off to the north of It the Elizabeth islands. If we're lucky, we'll be at anchor off East Twenty- fourth street by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Any kick coming?" "Not for me. You might better con­ sult--my wife," said Whitaker with an embarrassed laugh. - "Look here: I've told you how things were with us, In brief; but I'm hdnged If you've dis­ gorged a Single word of explanation as to how you came to let Drummond slip through your fingers, to say noth­ ing of how you managed to find us." • "He didn't slip through my fingers," Ember retorted. "He launched a young earthquake at my devoted head and disappeared before the dust settled. I came to some time later with a gag lu my mouth, handcuffs on my wrists, behind my back, and rope round my legs. Midnight the following night, the owner happened along and let me loose. "It was easy enough to surmise Drummond ,had some pal or other working with him--I was slungshot- ted from behind, while Drummond was walking ahead. And twormen had worked in the kidnaping „of Mrs. Whitaker. So I went sleuthing; traced you as far as Sag Harbor. There I lost you--and there I borrowed this outfit from a friendl an old-time client of mine. We kept cruising, looking up unlikely places. And, at that, we were on the point of throwing up the sponge when I picked up a. schooner that re­ ported signal fires on No Man's Land. . . . I think that clears everything up." "Yes," said Whitaker sleepily. « - And so strong was his need of sleep that it was not until ten o'clock the following morning, when the yacht lay at her mooring In the East river, that Ember succeeded In rousing him by main strength and good-will. His wife had gone ashore an hour ago, after refusing to listen to a sug­ gestion that Whitaker be disturbed. The note Ember handed him was brief, but in Whitaker's sight eminently ade­ quate and compensating. Dearest Boy: I won't let them wake you, but I must run away. It'a early and I muBt do some shopping before people are about. My house here is closed; Mrs. Secretan is in Maine with the only keys aside from those at Great West Bay; and I'm a positive fright in a coat and skirt borrowed from the stewardess. I don't want even you to see me until I'm decent­ ly dressed. 11 shall put up at the Waldorf; come there toniftht, and we will dine to­ gether. Every fiber of my being loves you. MART. Whitaker took a serene and shining face to the breakfast in the saloon, under the eyes of Ember. Toward noon they parted as.,ore, each taking a taxicab to his lodgings. The under­ standing was that they were to dine together--all three, Whitaker proutis* lng for his wife upon the morrow. (TO BE CONTINUED.) COMBINATION SURE TO WIN There are. some dressmakers who are still holding out that, they will" not re­ duce the width of the hems in frocks or suits, but isn't it rather. foolish to hold out against a Paris fashion that lias been accepted by the American buyerg? Naturally 4 change Ih the silhouette of the skirt is a drastic thing. It can­ not be lightly regarded by dressmak­ ers, tailors or the public. It is in this garment that fnshion ,takes its most seriouss somersaults. The wrong cut of a skirt puts one more completely posing color, and again, they are of another material and color. A" dignified house like Worth has put emphasis upon sharply tailored skirts to be worn with separate blouses and topped by jackcts that are shorter than any we have worn for two years. These Jackets are not fitted to the fig­ ure, but are a compromise between a cape and a coat. Worth uses a great deal of serge, also gaberdine and the nevv kind of alpaca which France has been exploit­ ing for two years with little success in out of the fashion picture^ than one i America. He also uses a very thin likes. Even the stole and the phlloso- voile and several kinds of Chinese pon- pher among women cannot success- gees under their various names, such^ fully stand this test. If a woman can- ns shantung and tussah. not buy a new skirt cut according to Worth never goes in for an eccentric W the new pattern, she will cook up some scheme In the sewing room by which ah old skirt can be let out or drawn in. The voice of the prophet was lifted early in the winter, foretelling the in­ coming of narrow skirts in the early spring, i)ut few listened. The dress­ makers shrugged their shoulders, the ready-to-wear manufacturers; kept on making skirts with four and five yards With fcieas and Industry Ninety Men Out of Every. Hundred Will Achieve Success. Some self-conceited philosopher haa said that genius is nothing but an in­ finite .capacity for untiring application, it would seem that this attempt to de­ fine genius would apply more appropri­ ately to talent. It Is also an obvious fact that many people, thoughtful oth­ erwise, use language loosely. We would think the remark quoted abova a case In point observes the Los An. geles Times. There Is no doubt that talent to make Itself effective, requires untiring effort and unlimited application. Giv,- en talent and application, success Is sure to follow In any man's career. Many of us are very much inclined to find fault with society and lay all our failure to succeed at Its door. Eocletj is not a concrete fact It is simply ao abstraction Invented to represent hu: inanity in the aggregate* Nature ha* been very niggardly in her gifts to many of us, and where this Is so no amount of effort, no matter how con­ tinuously it Is applied can lead to large success. Those who find fault with society as the cause of their failure are wrong, Given a fair amount of talent--that Is, brains--and untiring application, and success will be achieved, ninety-nino times out of every hundred. This may be proved by reference to any walk/lc life to which human beings apply them selves to reach success. Eliminating Possibilities.

Separate Sports Skirt From France. of material at the hem, and the high- class shops offered to women the skirt that was gathered at the waist and elaborately trfmmed' from the knees down. Hard to Convert. The reporters kept hammering at the fact that the woman of wisdom should not indulge In bargains that were of­ fered in full and flaring skirts, but a great number of women insisted that if the silhouette changed, it was easier to take the fullness out of a skirt than to put It in. Even as late as the middle of Febru­ ary high-class shops were offering skirts that measured from five to sev^n yards at the hem. True, these hems did not flare; they hung limply against the figure, but they were not cut ac­ cording to the prophesied silhouette which has come true. It may also come about that the greater number of women will not take up the narrow skirt when it appears in most of the French models, but If the past Is any forecast of the future, the narrow skirt will grow In strength as the spring advances and will be­ come the accepted silhouette of the summer. Women of Judgment and ad­ vance taste In gowns already consider the five-yard hem a second-class fash­ ion. The openings In Paris, as they have been outlined to this country, can be summed up briefly as advance infor­ mation to those who are already look­ ing for new spring clothes. A. vast number of separate skirts were turned out by the best designers, through the request of the American buyers, it is said., This fact argues that the American woman will take up the separate skirt with a sports jacket or sweater or a separate coat, as she once Indulged in a tailored suit. Fewer Tailored Suits. There are fewer tailored suits turned out than usual. The deficit is due to the fact that the men who do this kihd of work ore under the colors. The one- piece frock, the three-quarter top coat, the separate skirt and the chemise blouse are the garments that are of­ fered Instead of the usual coat and skirt of doth or silk. The majority of one-piece gowns carry loose wraps with them. These cjipelike garments are made of the same material and faced with an op- Tie Rack. No master how careless that man of yours, there Is one thing that he Is very apt to be careful of, and that Is his necktie. He will actually take the trouble to string it on one of the many wooden and metal tie racks if one is placed conveniently near his bureau or chiffonier. The trouble that most women have to find with such racks is that they allow the ties to collect dust, and present an untidy appearance to the room. Here is an idea that both the man and his tidy womenfolks will appreciate: It is a small wooden tie rack, with a linen cover, which folds over the hanging ties and suaps into place. Anyone can make one of these affairs, and ca^ add embroidery or steQclllng of a mon­ ogram to the cover, too, If she likes. Don't muke it too hard to adjust, or you will find the lucky man railing against it rather than blessing It • Vr New Umbrellas., The latest umbrella shows a tiny watch in the strap handle. The con­ servative umbrella is disappearing. Colored umbrellas are the vogue and silhouette, but this season he has thrown in his lot with tho«e who are making narrow skirts. He has pro­ duced the peg-top skirt, as we are be­ ginning to cail it over here. The American buyers are doubtful concerning the fullness that is put Into the waistline of this skirt to make the barrel effect at the hips; the older American wofturo does not care for a thick, bulky waistline, sp our shops over here are working on the idea of eliminating the plaits which are used now at the waist belt and are thinking out a scheme of substituting yokes and applying the fullness to the lowvr edge of them. The High Waistline. Jenny, Doeuillet, Worth and several of their colleagues have 'Introducer! the high waistline Into afternoon and eve- ning frocks. This is almost as seri­ ous a change In the silhouette as the narrowing of the skirt hem. If one is adopted, the other must be, for the low, medieval waistline, which is at the hips, connected with a melon- shaped skirt, is too ugly to think about. Whenever A skirt has been full be­ low the hips and narrow at the ankles, it has been high-waisted. This waist­ line has been obtained in many ways; sometimes the material Is cut to fit a deep Inner belt and corded or bound to its upper edge; again,-it is plaited In small groups at sides and back. Today the plaits are more universal than the plain effect. The high waistline on evening gowns has to do with the incoming of the First Empire and Directoire periods, both of which have been suggested In several of the costumes that Jiave been turned out by the French designers during the last six months, It was ex­ pected that some definite move in this direction would be made at the spring openings, but, evidently, the designers have contented themselves with a few touches from the fashions of those two periods and have let it go at that Large revers, a high, turnover collar at the back, long, tight sleeves that flare over the hand, and the hlgh-walst- ed skirt beneath the short jacket are features of the Director period. The evening gown with the negligible bodice, the round decolletage and the high waistline, with the skirt that hangs limply against the figure are features taken from the First empire. The Round Decolletagt. It is quite evident from the unity shown by the different dressmakers in Paris that they inteqd to bring In the round decolletage of the First and Sec­ ond empires. Doeuillet Is one of the designers who Indorses the court decolletage, as it used to be known. This displays the top of the shoulders and arms, some­ what after the 1840 method which be­ came so well known through the Em­ press Eugenie, who never failed to dis­ play her famous drooping shoulders. With these bodices there are orna­ mental straps that go across the upper part of the shoulder. Few evening gowns have any other kind of decol­ letage but the round one. The difficult line of the Renaissance is not again attempted. None of the Paris gowqs shows any especial or striking novelty in fabrics, although Rodier has been working hard at the production of silks, serges and soft Chinese fabrics. There Is no one thing, however, that stands out vividly from the rest and proclaims Itself as a desirable. (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspa­ per Syndicate.) L.
