“At 6?” Helen turned from the rail

"They'll put us of whenever we. get

“A tender is that the small boat
which comes out to meet u»?"
"That's it. Now, you hustle down
and get things into shape. I'll hate a

It trait the last night of the voyage,
•nd Helen longed to stay up on deck
Every one xvjus standing around watch
ing the far-off light and talking of the
extreme eonthern course the ship had
taken to avoid the iceberg*, and the
time they had lost.
They all seemed imbued with the
reatleas anticipation that comas with

Reluctantly Helen went down to the

At length there was a heavy step
ibirn the pnasagewaj’, and he threw
open the state room door.
“All through?" as he began to lake
off his collar
'Why, yes, dear, almost an hour ago
It's nearly 12, isn't ft? You know you've
everything to pack, and those steamer
rugs to strap up?"
"Now , don't you worry about me. I'll

Well, see that you are and don't go off

And he turned out the light and
(•limbed heavih into the upper herih.
It seemed to Helen that she had
hardlv fallen asleep when the steward
pounded loudly on the door
Bath ready, sir Four o'clock!"
While Helen was dressing and before
Warren eame back from his bath an
other steward knocked at the door.
Luggage ready for Rylmouth,
ma'am ?'
Helen opened the door and pointed
to her steamer trunk and bag "These
are ready—but Mr. Curtis hasn't quite
finished tacking yet "
"Hell have to hurry ma'am," as he

her* already—and they’re putting on

Warren grunted something under
his breath, but he began to hurry
"Can't I h'-lp you" Isn't there any
thing I can do?"
"Yes just get out and let me have
what room there is "
Helen gutnered up her hat and veil
and went out Into the passage to put
them on She could hear Warren
moving hastily about.
"Luggage ready, ma’am"" It was the
( hlef steward till- time.
"I 1 think so." she faltered, and
he knocked at the stateroom.
"Luggage remix, sit " Everybody's on
now, sit Site's ready to pull off
The words struck terror to Helen,
but Warren threw' open the door with
a rough:
"Well. If you -put jteople off at this
outlandish hour you'll have to wai'
till they get ready. Heim, you can
take this trunk "
Through the open door Helen could
see Wnn-en thrusting things into his
suit case with more haste than she
had ever seen him exert His lint was
on the back of bls head and he was
unmistakably worried She longed to
go in and help him, but feared he
would only rosr at her to keep out of
the way. Suddenly he called.
"Where's the shawlstrnp?"
"Why. Isn't it there?" rushing In to
find him struggling with the big roll
of steamer rugs and coata and looking
desperately about for the shawlstrap.
"Where'd you put it?" he shouted.
"Why dear, I didn't see it. you un
rolled the ruga.”
Yea, and I put II right there on top
of that wardrobe.”
Helen climbed up on the berth to
look on top of the wardrobe but only
a life preserver was there In the
meantime Warren was ringing wildly
for tbe stateroom steward -swearing
under his breath
Here the chief steward appealed
again at the door "They're waiting,
sir. The captain says the'll have to
put off in a moment."
"Well, thay'll not go without us!
Were booked for London and they've
got to land us here. It’s the line's
fault for putting passengers off at this
Indecent hour Here, you!" as tin
stateroom stewaid rushed up. "We put
a shawlstrap on lop of that war v,be
whnt did you do with It?"
"Horry, sir; didn't see It. sir," and he
began a hurried search.
Now they were all searching Helen
Warren, the room steward and the
chief steward At any other lime fl
would have struck Helen as Irresisti
bly funny these four people falling
over each other in their frantic search
for a shawlstrap In that tiny state
room
But with the tender waiting and no
wax to take the rugs und coats the
situation was far from humorous.
Now the second officer came to tln
door to find out what was the trouble,
and to say the captain could hold the
tender onl.v three minutes longer.
"He'll hold her Illi we get on." al
most shouted Warren, "or I'll raise a
row at your London office that yout
whole blame line will hear from!"
Then to the room steward. "Get a rope
and rope up those rugs! No use look
ing for that strap!"
The steward dashed out for a rope
and In a second two of them were on
their knees tying up the rugs The
chief stew,'cd caught up the rest of tin
hand baggage and fairlv swept them
down to the tender
Although only n few of the passen
gers were-landing at Plymouth, numv
of the others were up to see them off.
And now as Helen hurried on. she
flushed hotly under the many disap
proving eyes. All these people kn»-w it
was for them that the boat had been
kept waiting
The lender Itself was something like
a fetryboal, and the other passengers,
who with their baggage had come on
board In plenty of time, stood in a little
group at the boxx- Helen bowed and
smiled to a fexx she had met on the
trip, but she felt they were talking of
her and Warren, and wondering xvhat
had kept them
Already the sailors were pulling up
the ropes in a moment they would bo
off I here was a heavy morning mist
which obscured the shore and even the
masts of the big s-ilp that still loonie I
up beside them
• lust as she began to put off a shout
of "Hohl!" went up from the dock, and
Warren’s stateroom steward came
rushing down to the railing.
It's for Mt f'urtis Mi. Curtis!" he
(tied, tts ho leaned fat i»>. and gave
something to one of the tender office s
Just as they swung axvay.
Every one tinned to look at Wat ten
as the officer handed It to him. Helen
caught the glint of gold it was his
watch'
Quickly Warren slipped It into his
pocket, but.not before thex had all seen
or guessed xvhat It was. There xvas a
general laugh. In which ho was forced
to join, as he waved back his thanks to
the steward
Your watch!" cried Helen untßCl
fully "Oh, xvhete did you leave it?"
'I nder the pillow. I suppose," he
snapped "Now, you'll have something
to harp on for the next six months."
"Why. Warren, you knoxx 1 never ’id

The Sweetest Music in the World—For Him.
“The Gates of Silence”
By Meta Simmins, Author of "Hushed Up"
I ....
TODAY’B INSTALLMENT.
» He nodded dismissal to the clerk and
opened the telegram almost slowly.
Then, as he stared at the blue-pasted
printed slips on the flimsy sheet before
him. his face* whitened:
"Dieppe
"Poor Lumsden died this morning.
Break news to his daughter. All particu
lars when we meet this afternoon at
usual place. JEX.”
The paper fluttered in Saxe's hand.
The fool, the mad. clumsy fool, to send
such a telegram as that! Furious rage at
Jex flamed up in Saxe’s heart. His face,
as he sat there buddled over the broad
desk, was pot pleasant To send that
insane telegram that would set every
tongue in England wagging No doubt,
for all he knew, it already was common
knowledge in the office outside; he had
not the least doubt that his telegrams
were opened, even though, as this one |
was. they were addressed In full with a
"Private" regally added to the address.
Hid the old idiot wish to draw alien
i tion to the matter?
Just for a moment the thought flashed
through Saxe's mind ’hat Jex perhaps
had sent the news In this odd. public
’ way out of sheer malice He sometimes
had his doubts of Jex. Suppose the cur
should turn and try to bite?
At the thought a sound escaped from
Paul Saxe's lips that, sounding In his
own ears, brought him upright, lie raised
his head and looked about the room with
» bright, furtice eyes His nerveless cow

over him that he should have suffered that

He stood up and. crossing the room.
’ glanced at himself in the strip of mirror
I set above the mantelpiece. For a mo
ment his aspect startled him; his face
was almost livid, and 11 ere were drops
of sweat glistening on his brow As he
stared al himself it almost seemed as
though his piqued vanity came to his
| j aid. helping him to draw himself to-
i erthe* He went through his private door
into the elaborate dressing room across
the corridor Ten minutes later, when he
came out, there was no trace of his agi
tation visible about him
f Indeed, as he walked through the outei
cftic-'s, the clerks glanced after him. he
carried himself so erect and walked with
such a swing, wearing his silk hat set
at a rakish angle.
"There's something good in the wind

1 one of the typists who sat near him.

returned home a few hours ago and was
very tired. Saxe sent In his card, on
which he had penciled a few’ words.
Betty had not been in the Croft many
hours, having only left the Chantrey, at
Kenilworth, that morning. There had
been strange happenings at that lonely
house set In a cleft of the downs, hap
penings that had left her tired in mind
and body. She was weary, too, with
apprehension as to what the future might
hold for the man and woman she had
left behind her —the blind man raving In
delirium now. who was being nursed by
the wife he had repudiated, and whom he
would never again see.
She had been thankful to find that her
father had not yet returned from the Con
tinent - and now\ for Caul Saxe’s card to
he sent in! She glanced at the pencilled
words.
I am more than sorry to disturb you, 1 '
Saxe had scribbled, "but 1 am afraid I
must ask you to see me." The girl felt
as though a hand of ice had been laid
on her heart Had some harm come to
Jack? That was her first thought.
"Tell Mr Saxe I shall be with him
presently ." she said.
Paul Saxe, waiting in the pleasant
drawing room of the Croft, found the
waiting more than usually tedious He
did not relish the task before him. After
leaving his office he had driven down to
Westminster and found Jex now’ returned.
The news the man had given him had
been more disquieting than the telegram,
which had been oddly delayed in its de
livery Jex had given rather an ugly
account of Sir George Lumsden's last
hours. The man had died by his own
hands, it seemed, there w r ere ugly for
malities there might be inquiries. Paul
Saxe felt as though Fate, with a giant
hand, had broken those fine-spun fila
ments of his webs in an utterly wanton
destruct ion
Then Betty came She looked wan and
harassed, and. to do the man justice,
his heart smote him that he must harass
her more. He looked at her anxiously
and solicitouslv If this life of strain con
tinued much longer she would lose her
looks; she belonged to that fine-grained
type which shows the ravages of grief too
cleat I vw
"Miss Betty ' Even as he took her hand
and spoke her name the girl had an ap
prehension of some evil. She shrank
away from him, looking at him with fur
tively searching eyes
"What is it —has anything happened*’
Oh. I see it in your face!, Tell me. Don’t
try to make things easy for me '
"Your father." he began, and he could
hear her give a short, quick breath of
relief He knew what that relief be
tokened. She thought he had come to
speak of her lover of the man in prison.
His save darkened
Almoat as though she were ashamed of
t tba moment of relief. Hetty turned and
questioned him
j "What of m.' father*'" she asked. M
“I won't beat about the bush. Miss
Berry.” he said. “Your father is dead.”
The dusk was falling—the cruel, early
gray dusk of a January afternoon, when
Betty Lumsden slipped down the drive
of the Croft. In all that lonely house be
hind her there was no one to say her no,
to question her comings or goings, and
yet as she went she felt like a fugitive.
She was flying—from what? She hardly
’knew. From the vague terror that Paul
Saxe's news had left behind it. So far
she had shed no tears for her father;
there was grief for him in her heart, a
dumb, tearless grief— not so much because
he was dead, but because of what he had
become—of what had led up to that death.
Still, he bail been her father, and they
had loved one another dearly. In the old
days, the days before Edith's marriage,
they had been a very happy family— and
at least he had been her protector.
Her protector! As she ran she stum
bled and nearly fell. Heaven knew how
badly she stood in need of a protector—
bow desolate she was! Paul Saxe had
hinted at unutterable things; but she did
not need his hints —her imagination had
been quick to leap to the position in which
she would find herself as the daughter
of a discredited suicide who had left her
no heritage save shame and the harvest
of his debts.
That could have been faced, she told
herself. But Saxe had hinted at other
things. As she listened to him she
seemed to feel herself caught in a net
that was being pegged down on evert
side of her by relentless fingers. He had
spoken, with the utmost delicacy—she
conceded so much to him—of his desire
to aid and save her, of how he wished
her to look upon him in the light of an
elder brother until such time as her af
fairs had straightened themselves. or
until her brother-in-law was able to offer
her a home. It was that touch which
had frightened Betty Paul Saxe must
have known it. so well, the true state of
the relations between herself and her
family and Anthonx Barrington
