Enid discovered that among the few steerage pasengers saved was a man who had gained some experience in a field-hospital during the campaign in Cuba.

The worst accident was s broken srm. the most slsrming s case of cerebrsl concussion. Other injuries consisted. for the most part. of cuts and bruises. The visiting-officer’s room. which also nerved the purposes of n lihrnry and recrention room in normal times. now held fourteen injured persons, in- cluding two women, one of them 3 stewnrdeu, end n little girl. “All I want, miss.” he explained. in answer to Constance’s question, “is some water and some linen for ban- dages. The lint outfit in the chest is not half sufficient." She vanished. to return quickly with a sheet and a pair of scissors. “Now," she said to Mr. Pyne. “it you come with me I will send you back with a pail of water." She took him to the kitchen where Enid, aided by a sailor, pressed into service. was dispensing cocoa and his- cuits. Pyne. who remained in the stairway, went off with the water and Constance’s lantern. The interior of the lighthouse was utterly dark. To move without a light, and with no prior knowledge of its internal ar- rangements. was positively danger- ous. All told, there were seven lamps 0! various sizes available. Brand had one, four were distributed throughout the apartments tenanted by the sur- vivors of the wreck. two were retain- ed for transit purposes, and the men shivering in the entrance passage had no light at all. vvc-v “All the more reason why you should not tell.

Constance took Enid's lantern in order to discover the whereabouts of Mr. Emmett, the first officer, the tray- carrying sailor offering to guide her to him. When Pyne came back he found Enid in the dark and mistook her for Gonstance. “They want some more." he cried at the door. “Some more what?" she demanded. It seemed no time for elegant diction. Her heart jumped each time the sea sprang at the rock. It seemed to be so much worse in the dark. “Water.” said he. “Dear me. I should have thought everybody would be fully satisfied in that respect." He held up the lantern. “Well. that’s curious,” he cried. “l imagined you were the other young lady. The water is needed in the hos- pital.” The addendum was a kindly one. No doubt, Mr. Pyne had meant her to convey such a message. Mrs. Vansit. tart, it was evident, had received a shock. Perhaps she was a timorous, shrinking woman, averse to the sud- den stare of others. “I know nothing," she murmured. “It was all so horrible. Oh. God! shall I ever forget that scene in the saloon. How the maple fought. They were not human. They were tigers. fierce tigers, with the howls and the baleful eyes of wild beasts." This outburst was as unexpected as her staccato question. Constance bent over her and placed a gentle hand on her forehe‘d. , “You must try to forget all that.’ she said, soothingly. “Indeed, it must have been very terrible. It was dread- ful enough for us, looking down at things through a mist of foam. For youâ€" But there! You are one of the few who escaped. That is every- thing.

She gave him a full pail and he quitted her. Constance. having delivered her father’s message to Mr. Emmett. was greeted with a tart question when she Ie-entered the kitchen: “Why on earth dld’nt you tell me that young man was attending to the injured people? Is he a doctor?" “I think not. What happened?” "He came for a second supply of water and nearly hit my head off." ~"Uh. Enit.‘ . am sure he aid not mean anything. Didn’t you recognize him?

Constance found herself wondering if the smile were not cul- tivated to hide that faintly caught suggestion of the bird of prey. But the question restored her mental poise. “Only to say that Mr. Pyneâ€"" she began. “Charlie! Is he saved?" Mrs. Vansittart certainly had the faculty of betraying intense interest. The girl attributed the nervous start, ‘the quick color which tinged the white cheeks, to the natural anxiety of a woman who stood in such approximate degree of kin to the young American. “Stephen Brand.

Mrs. Vansittart’s eyes gleamed again with that lambent light so oddly at variance with her smile. The slight flush of excitement yielded to a ghostly pallor. With surprising energy she caught the girl’s arm. "‘My {ether ‘18 the lighthouse-keep- er," said Constance. “I am here quite by chance. 1â€"" “But your name!

In the first room she inquired: “Is Mrs. Vansittart here?" “Yes.” said a sweet but rather quer- ulons voice. The girl, not unmoved by curiosity, held the light so that it illumined Mrs. Vansittart. A woman of forty, no matter how good-looking and well- preserved she may be, is in a sorry plight under such conditions. Con- stance saw a beautiful face, deathly white and haggard. yet animated and clearly chiseled. The eyes were large and lustrous, the mouth firm, the nose and chin those of a Greek statue. Just now there were deep lines across the base of the high forehead. The thin lips, allied to a transient hawk-like gleam in the prominent eyes. gave a momentary glimpse of a harsh, per- haps cruel disposition. A charming smile promptly dispelled this fleeting impression. Instantly Constance was aware of having seen Mrs. Vansittart before. So vivid was the fanciful idea that she became tongue-tied. will take charge of that put of the business. if I may.

The mere animal warmth of so many human beings was grateful after the freezing effect of the gale on pe0ple literally soaked to the skin. “How stupid of me!” she explained. whilst a delighted giggle from Enid did not help to mend matters . So Constance became very stately. “I will as]: Mrs. Vansittart to come out and speak to youâ€"" she began. “No, no!" I don't wish that. You might tell her I am all right. That is the limit.

Only last aâ€"couple of hours. Twenty-five yearsâ€"far worse gales. Want any more cocoa?” But a light flashed in the rolling orbs of the man who was already on the stairs. Astounded, he drew back. Constance stood in their midst, a mere girl, radiant, smilingly uncon- cerned. addressing them in calm wards, broken only by the fitqu noises. Said one, with indefinite bellow amidst the black turmoil: “I can't stand this, mates.” “Up aloft for me!” cried Mother. “Let's die with our eyes Open, any- how," chimed in a third. “Pay no heed to theseâ€"” she was interrupted by another mighty thump and cataract roarâ€" “these blows ot Thor’s hammer,” she cried. “Play me for an anvil,” he returned. She descended to the depths, to re- assure the men. Talking with shrill cheertulness at each doorway was easy. It helped her to go down, down, feeling stone and iron trembling as every surge was hurled many feet above her head. At last, she stood Nevertheless, in this place. the source of her own sense of security, she found uneasiness among the men. They were all sailors in this lowest habitable region. Their preconceived ideas had been rudely reversed. The ship, the noble structure which defied the storm by yielding to its utmost fury, had for them no terrors. But the stark pillar which flinched from no assault bewildered them. It was impossible to believe that it could withstand the strain. Ha! Listen to that. The battering-ram of ocean ap- plied to a thin shaft of stone. Surely it must be pounded into fragments. Said one, with indefinite bellow on the lowest floor. Beneath her feet was naught but granite and iron bars. Here was solidity. How grateful to know of this firm base, rooted in the very world. Her heart leaped to her mouth, but not with fear. She was proud of the lighthouse, strong in the knowledge of its majestic strength. “Go, Enid," said Constance. “Tell them they have nothing to fear. They must expect these things to happen for nearly two hours. Tell them what dad said. Twenty-five years, you know.” “Yes. But when I went in just now to give her her clOthes, she said to me: ‘Are you the sister of the otherâ€"- of Constance Brand?’ It was no time for explanations, so I just said ‘Yes.’ She gave me such a queer look. and then smiled quite pleasantly, apologiZ- ing for troubling me." Constance laughed. ” “Perhaps she knew dad years ago, she said. “What do you think Mr. Pyne said about her?” “How can I tell? Did you speak of her to him ?” â€""-‘I"told him she had fainted when you delivered his message. He said: ‘Guess she can faint as easy as 1 can fall off a house.’ Isn’t he funny?” “I think he is splendid.” said Con- stance. The wreck was now wholly demol- ished. The first big wave of the re. treating tide enveloped the lighthouse and smote it with thunderous silence. Screams came from the women’s quar- te r8. 'Brave hearts! What infinite pene- tration inspired the man who first said “Noblesse oblige!” “How thoughtless at me," she cried. “Is she better?" Constance was kept busy fly up and down to the kitchen. whilst id. having met all immediate demands in the matter of a hot beverage and something to eat. supplemented her labors. Pyne worked like a Trojan. As each pile of sodden garments was delivered to him he squeezed out as much water as possible with his hands and then applied himself to the task of baking them dry. He did this, too, in a very efficient way. Speedily converting the kitchen into a miniature Turkish bath. At the end of an hour, he had succeed- ed so well that more than one-half of the females were supplied with toler- ably dry and warm under-clothing. With their heavier garments. of course. nothing could he done. Once, on the stairs, Enid detained Constance for a moment's chat. “Mrs. Vsnlsttart is odd," she said.
