He had come out of Russia at the beginning qf the revolution, and was hailed at once as a new master of the violin. Before that time he was widely known in the theater of Petrograd and the Rus sian court, but he had not cared to seek laurels abroad. “My dear girl!” he told her, his thin lace lighting. He took her hand, bowed, and touched it' to his lips. Then they took seats, side by side, on the big divan. His voice streamed on, comforting, cheering not only with his care fully chosen though swift-flowing words, but by exquisite modulation of its tones. “I suppose you'll never forgive me,” he said at last, in a more' quiet hour. “I don’t see how I owe you any thing but gratitude—” “You know what I mean. You re member-—that morning—after th trouble. You remember that when peter wakened from his drunken .sleep and could not rementßer — of course with your help—who in duced him to flee. And his flight has ended—by that.” He pointed to the telegram, “I don’t see how it can be held, against you, in the least degree,” Dorothy assured him earnestly. “You were kind—generous—won derful all the way through.” Her voice dropped to a tone. “Besides, ’ this is no worse—better, in fact that he should die doing a decent thing—going to the help of a sinking ship—than to die—in the prison on Elbert street!” “There would have been some way out! Ljife imprisonment, at the worst —” “Life imprisonment! No, Ivar.— not for Peter. Liberty was always a passion with him—with all his race, for that matter—and he’d rather be dead than in prison. I’ve got that consolation at least.” “How amazed I am that this should come from the North when we both supposed he was in South America.” t She looked at him quickly. There was no doubt about the genuineness of this amazement. He saw her look of surprise and turned quickly in explanation. “He took such a chance, Dorothy! I had a perfect course laid out for him —one that no one could have fol lowed—but up there, in American territory, he was in hourly risk of arrest! It frightens me to think of |he risk he ran-:—” “But there is no risk now!” she . told him grimly. “He’s past all L Ithat—” j “Yes. Perhaps it’s for the best. Try not to mourn too much, little ’ girl.” To turn the current of her ■ thought he took his violin—a mar velous thing of shell-like mahog any—from its case, and standing , beside the window, he began to ' play. t He was telling her of his love— -3 a love that would go through fire - or water, triumph or disgrace. It > was a love that glorified her, but yet it some way appalled her, too. s It was not the, kind of love that ’ Peter had given her—tender, al- > most fatherly, a tolerant, protec : five love and yet strong with that i eternal strength of the Anglo-Sax , on. Peter had been bitterly jeal- - ous at last, but it had taken many ; little indiscretions—harmless, tru i ly, but yet doubtless intolerable from his point of view—toXnakc ? him so. She would not dare play 1 thus with Ivan>! His| jealousy would be like a firebrand, his hate - like a dagger blade. CHAPTER 111 Peter’s Rescued When Peter Newhall was hurled into that awful sea he had no shadow of a dream but that thia was his last conscious instant. There was no battling those moun tainous waves, and the jagged edges of the cruel rocks would de stroy him in a moment. Yet, as al ways in the last degree of crisis,- the instant was one of marvelous clarity of thought. Not merely the physical body strengthens and gathers reserve • •• ■" r THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER * When Trains Crashed ‘X - i lifel. 1 if lb ’ ■■ ' <>-. power in. a crisis. The mental pow ■ ers are likewise enhanced, encom passing a whole world in one glance, the breadth of many years in an instant. “It’s the end,” Pet pr thold himself in one flash of blinding light. In tnat instant he thought of Dorothy. Her image was just as plain, just as vivid in that eerie gray dawn as if he had just left her side. The enchanted hours shat he nad spent with her passed in instantaneous review before him —those hours before Ivan had ever appeared with his heavenly music, before the world had come to be too much with him and with her, the wife at his side. In that terrible instant his heart cried out to her as it had never done in thd fullness of their happiness. She was his own, his wife, the woman that God had given him, and lie wanted her beyond any reach of words or thought. There was an abiding quality of strength in him yet—for all these 1 astmonths of debauchery—and his last impulse was in prayer for her. He wanted her destiny to be serene; his last breath of vivid consciousness before he felt the first, shattering impact of his body against the crags was given to her, wholly and without reservation. The first blow against the crags almost knocked him unconscious; the struggle in that tern pestuous sea was like a gray dream. Instinctively he threshed about in the water to save the killing im pact on his head, but he was only partially able to break the force of the blow. The knife edge of the crag sliced down across his face, gouging and tearing as it went, and through the inner passages to his ears he had heard his jawbone crack apart.' Again the waves caught him, lifting him high, and Ogain he was sped forward swift as a dolphin dashing through green water. Half-conscious, ha waited for the shattering blow that would mean the end. But it did not come. The wave HE WAS STAGGERING ON THE SHORE. spent itself; then, as it rolled back dropped him on gray, smooth rocks that were lifted above the water. In that dim instant he saw the gray line of the shore not a hundred feet beyond. The waves had carried him, as if by miracle, through a gap ip the reefs. Instantly a fighting Spirit welled back in him: if he could hold on, or keep consciousness a mpme.-t more, he might easily be washed MAE MURRY IN Mademoiselle Midnight Monday and Tuesday RYLANDER THEATRE Eleven were killed ; n thia wreck on the Wabash Railroad near Attica, Ind. It occurred when a passenger train side swiped a freight train after crashing through an" unlocked switch, according to railroad of ficials. This picture shows two of the cars, from which most of the dead and injured were tak en. .shore. The waves caught him again lifted him up, and he fought hard against them to avoid the full pow r of the shattering blow when they laid him down. He was fifty feet nearer now, and as the wave went >ut, he struggled ahead to avoid be ing inundated by the r.ext wave. And almost at once he was stag gering on the shore, saved as if by miracle, in the icy, brightening dawn. Still in his half-dream he shook the salt from his eyes and looked about him. It did not surprise him that a ship should be lying just without the reefs, tugging at her strong anchor chain, or that closer view should reveal a stout dory manned with a full crew that had. evidently been launched in an at tempt to rescue drowning men. At first no reasonable explanation for her presence occurred to him: it was simply part of the miracle that had borne him alive through the Round Trip Summer Fares from Americus, Ga.

Yet in a moment he had guessed the truth; that this war a wandering trader who had answer ed the same appeal for help that had sped the Jupiter to her de struction. The ship they had come to save was beyond the reach of help. She was a small, auxiliary schooner; the dawn showed part of her stern and her broken, floating masts where she had gone down. Os the Jupiter there was nothing whatever to be seen. He did not believe his r-’scue could be accomplished for soma moments at least, so he took the only possible course to keep the blood moving in his veins—he got to his feet and struggled up and down the shore. The fact that the exercise caused a more active flow from his wounds could not be tak en into consideration; it was better to risk death from loss of blood than to die swiftly and surely fro’n freezing. But already the men in the dory had seen him and were try ing to push into the little cove be tween the reefs. Still he ran back and forth, only half-conscious. Blond, rugged men gathered about him and were ministering to RE-MILLING PLANT lam prepared to re-mill lumber in large quantities and solicit the patronage of the sawmill men wanting lumber dressed.

When li<- opened his eyas he was on a clear) bunk, and a little group of men—t hone of whom he cbuld ever remem ber seeing before —were working about him. One of them, he guessed present ly, was acting as ship’s doctor; his hands were scrubbed till the skin wa pink, he wore a white apron, and his look was very businesslike. He was talking quietly with two of the ship’s officers as he sterilized a set of villainous-looking surgeon s tools. The conversation drifted faintly to Peter’s ears. “Dis is quite a fe’der in your cap, Bill,” one of the) sailors was saying in the good-hu mored, subdued voice that is the pe culiar characteristic of a certain great breed of seafarers.
