a thousand leagues of ocean
now divided him from the old Breton
tower; five years filled with high en-
deavor ami honorable enterprise. He
had risen to the rank of post-captain
some years since and had been suc-
cessfully engaged in his profession in
many jeas. His father had died mean-
while and he was alone in the world.
To no woman among the many who
had looked love in his eyes had he
given his affection, and his friends re-
garded him as a confirmed bachelor.
Was he still dreaming of Anne? It
is enough to say he had not forgotten
her—perhaps that is all.
It was evening on the 12th of Sep-
tember, 17.r>!), a clear though moonless
night. The wind fell as the sun set,
and the ships slowly drifted up the
river with the heavy flood-tide. On
the shore to the left lay the camp of
Bougainville. The white tents of the
soldiery on the heights of Cap-Itouge
could be dimly detected In the soft il-
lumination from tlie irradiating stars
overhead. Lights twinkled here and
there on the heights, or moved along
on the crest of the bluffs, showing
that, as usual, the French were on
the alert and watchful.
There was much unwonted but sub-
titled bustle on the English fleet as
well. Men were being paraded and
mustered on the decks, arms and
equipments looked to, ammunition
pouches filled to repletion, and the
haversacks and canteens of the men
provided with food and water, for it
was hardly known when and where
they would get anything to eat after
they let I the ships.
Far down the river the distant lights
on Cape Diamond were almost hidden
in clouds of smoke, and the muffled
yet continuous roaring of the heavy
guns from Admiral Saunders' ships
f the line and tlie batteries at Point
<evis, with the answer of the French
Mademoiselle Anne?"
"By standing in your way, so!" she
answered, stretching out her slender
arms and barring the window with her
slight figure. "A feeble barrier, you
say; yet you were my knight—even
though only in play—and I, at least,
do not forget it Gentlemen do not
pass to freedom over the bodies of
their ladles," she continued quaintly.
"Ah!" he cried, looking at her with
mingled pride and vexation, "I could
brush you aside in a moment."
"But you would not, Sir Philip," she
•went on, lapsing into the old style
of address. "Besides, I should scream,
and then—and you cannot go down
those rocks at night. The danger—
it would kill me—the thought hurts
me here."
She laid her hand innocently upon
her heart.
"The baron of old did it," he an-
swered.
"Oh, yes; but lie went for love."
'And I for liberty."
"And is liberty stronger than love,
monsieur?"
"By heaven. Little France," he an-
swered impulsively, calling her by a
name which she loved to hear. "1 know
not it' it be! 1 am afraid 'tis not,
since "
"Since what, monsieur?"
•"Since l stay here with you," he re-
plied decisively. "Now, you must
to bed. I want not your death upon
my hands."
He stepped forward and lifted he;

"You promise me on your word of
lionor that you will not .seek to escape
when I am gone to bed, Sir Philip?'
*he asked, nestling against him, he
arms around his neck, her head on hi
shoulder, as he carried her toward he
chamber.
"I promise you, Lady Anne, on thr
faith of a knight your knight."
"And you are not playing this time
"Not this time," he answered,
ting her down at the door of the
room. "Good-night." lie added, press-
ing his lips as of old to the little brown
hand.
"I trust you, Sir Philip." she an-
swered. "Good-night, and we will
never play together as we have.'
"Yes, yes, to-morrow!" he cried after
her, as she shook her head sadly and
disappeared.
"Good God, man!" said Grafton to
himself, as he sat down in his room to
think it over, "you had a glorious
chance for liberty, an I h< re you had
to go indulge in theatrics with that
little Rohan girl! And you are fool
enough to be satisfied with the situa-
tion, my boy," he soliloquized. ' Are

it adel of Quebec, told a tale of furious
i-inmmaile. The admiral \va.. certainly
tlolnu his part. As he had promised,
lie would keep them busy at the end
of the line.
Four bells In the first night watch
bad just been struck on the r>0-gnn
ship Sutherland, carrying the flag of
Admiral Holmes, commanding the
squadron of Cip-Kouge. when a boat
was seen making its way Uirougti ine
water approaching the starboard gang-
way (if the ship. Hails passed between
the Sutherland and the approaching
cutter.
"Boat ahoy!"
"The Porcupine!" promptly an-
Mvcred a rather small man in the
stem-sheets of the boat, giving the
name of the vessel he commanded
and following his reply with the sharp
command, "Way enough! In bows!"
As he spoke he motioned to a mid-
shipman who sat beside him. Follow-
ing bis officer's direction, the helm
was put over and the boat swept gent-
ly alongside the gangway, the men
unshipping the oars at the same time.
"Leave a keeper in the boat and let
the men go aboard the ship.' con-
tinued the officer, rising, "then have
the boat dropped astern. You w'ill
follow me on deck, Mr. Hobison," he
added, as he seized the manropes and
ran rapidly up the battens to the gang-
way.
"Good evening. Capt. Grafton." said
the officer of the deck, removing his
cap and bowing low to the newcomer
as he stepped aboard "The general
has been asking for you."
"All. good evening, Hatfield! You
say the general is waiting for me?
Where is he?"
"In the cabin yonder, sir."
"That's well. Will you have me an-
nounced?"
"Mr. Giles," said Hatfield, turning to
Ids midshipman, "present my compli-
ments to the general and say that
Capt. Grafton Is here to see him.
"Ay, ay, sir!" replied the boy. touch-
ing his cap and springing art toward
the cabin.
'"Tis a line night, Hatfield." re-
marked Grafton, as they stood wait-
ing.
"Indeed yes, sir."
•Anil a good time for our enterprise.
I believe it is set finally for this even-
Indeed I would, sir."
"Very well, I'll speak to Capt Rous.
I shall doubtless set? you again in a
few moments."
Presently Grafton entered the cabin
"Ah, Grafton, glad to see you!" said
a tall, thin man seated at a table, who
appeared to he very ill. "Prompt as
usual. I see."
"You salil nine o'clock, general, and
yon know we sailors can he quite as
punctual as you gentlemen of the ar-
my—winil and tide permitting, of
course."
"Well, captain, I—but stay! You
will excuse us, Monckton, and gentle-
men all, I am sure," said the general,
turning to his most trusted subor-
dinate and three or four staff officers
with whom he had been in consulta-
tion, "I have something of a private
nature to say to Capt. Grafton, and
with your permission—no, no, keep
your seats!" he added, as he saw
them rising, "we will withdraw to the
inner cabin. You see, I have two
rooms, Grafton, by the courtesy of
Capt. itous, luxurious quarters for a
coldler in the course of an active cam-
paign."
The two men, bowing to the officers,
who returned their salutations with
elaborate courtesy, withdrew into the
inner cabin. Motioning the sailor to
seat the general sank down on a
transom, rested his elbow on the post-
sill, leaned his head upon his hand,
and gaged through the open port to-
ward Cap-Rouge. Grafton did not
presume to break the silence.
"Philip." he said at last, turning
about and leaning forward toward his
friend, "we try it to-night."
"Yes, James."
"And you are to have charge of the
boats."
"Thank you for that."
"I wanted a good man upon whom
I could depend. There must be no mis-
carriage here if we can help it. 'Tis
our last chance. You saw Admiral
Saunders, as I requested?"
"Yes, and he delays sailing for a
short time longer, though he takes a
great risk."
"A noble fellow!" exclaimed the
young general heartily, "if he fails
to take the town, I will ever bear testi-
mony that our want of success was
not due to any lack of co-operation
on his part."
"Shall we succeed, think you.
Wolfe?" asked Grafton.
"What think you of the prospects
yourself?"
"I am a sailor, I know little of such
things. Give me the deck of a shir
and I am at home. I fear nothing
there -unions it be a lee-shore—but on
land I prefer your views."
"Shall we fail? God knows!" mur-
mured Wolfe softly, half soliloquizing.
I tried to turn their flank on the
Montmorenci and failed there. I tried
a direct attack on the Beauport lines
and failed again. This time 1 know
nut. The path's a poor one at best.
A hundred men at the top might hold
an army." suddenly, as if awakened
from a dream. "Of course not! We
shall not fall! We can't fail! Philip,
I must have Quebec! And now, ai
that! 'Tis our last chance, and mine'
Tis sure a hard fate, but this body
of mine is done for. I may last lor
i few days longer, but my rac
about run."
"Don't say that, James!" exclaimed
his boyhood friend, protesting even
the bitter assurance in hi
heart of the truth ot the dying soldier'
words,
"It isn't the saying, old friend, but
the fact, that makes it hard to b
—and 'tis true. This poor frail body
not equal to the demands I hav
perhaps the tide may turn and luck
may serve."
"You are too wise a man to be lucky,
Wolfe." responded the naval officer.
"Well, perhaps the luck will be with
England, then. In fact, It is. Two
deserters from Cap-Rouge have ap-
prised us that a flotilla of provision
boats is to be sent down to Quebec
to-night. We will be that flotilla."
"Yes," laughed Grafton, "and give
tlie French such a breakfast as they
will find it difficult to digest, I'll war-
rant."
"Quite so," said Wolfe, smiling.
"But now that you have your official
instructions, Philip, there is another
thing I want you to do for me."
"Anything on earth, old friend."
"I know that, I know that," an-
,\v< red the soldier. "You have always
hern a friend to me since we were
boys together in old England. No
one could be truer or better than you
have been."
"Oh, that's all right," answered
Grafton, hastily, with the Anglo-Saxon
inclination to the avoidance of a scene.
"We have been friends since my father
sent me to the English school, where
we met. I was a little colonial lad
from Massachusetts, and mighty lone-
ly I was, Jimmie. until you took me
tip and championed me."
But you fought your own battles,
Phil."
You saw that I had fair play, any-
way. I'll tell you what it is, Wolfe,
if your body only equalled your spirit,
what a knight you would have been!"
"Well, it's about that body that I
want to speak. As I told you, I am
doomed. 1 shall never get back to
England alive; the sickness upon me
is mortal. The physicians have said
so, and I feel that it is true. Look at
me, you can see for yourself! If it
were not for the fight 1 should be on
my back now, and if I have to die 1 d
atlier do it on the field yonder—after
we have won, of course—but that s as
oil pleases. This is what I want you
to do."
As he spoke the young general un-
buttoned bis waistcoat, loosened his
tie, and drew from his neck a little
ild chain to which was attached a
golden locket Inclosed in a tight
leather ease. He slipped the chain
over his head, drew the locket from
the case, opened it and held it toward
the light. He looked long and earnesl-
ly at the picture it contained—the por-
trait of a young and lovely woman.
Observing that his friend had consid-
rately turned his head, he raised it
oftly to his lips. A single tear fell
upon the ivory miniature as he closed
the locket, slipped it back in the
leather case and extended it to Graf-
ton. Dee. tribute of affection lies In
the tear of a soldier—of a soldier like
Wolfe.
When you get back to England,

you to give this to Katharine Lowther

To Emperor William, of German),
and Sir Thomas Lipton belong the
credit for the re-
vival of ocean
yacht racing in re-
cent years. Large-
ly through their
interest and exam-
ple the sport bids
lair to be placed
during tae coming
summer on a basis
which will make it
far more worthy
of the world's at-
tention than it has
been for many
years, and restore to it those
elements of genuine seamanship
which have been so conspicuously lack-
ing in the races for the America's cup.
Every lover of honest sportsmanship
awes them a debt of gratitude for the
stimulus they have given the game. A
race of 15 miles against the wind and
back in racing machines useful for
no other purpose Thatsosver certainly
has its picturesque features, and as a
trial of skill between designers and of
courage in meeting bills between weal-
thy yacht owners it has an unques-
tioned value and importance, but com-
pared with the coming race across the
Atlantic from Sandy Hook to the Liz-
ard, to be sailed at a fixed date regard-
less of wind or weather, and by swift
cruising yachts of any nation and of
any number, the former class sinks in-
to comparative insignificance in the
popular estimation. In the one case,
the purely theoretical problems of de-
sign, the solution of which is one of
undoubted benefits of the costly con-
tests over the America's trophy, the in-
creasing similarity of type of chal-
lengers and the very large element of
luck in the actual races have com-
bined to limit that keen international
interest in the races which once was
manifested. On the other hand, a race
for vessels built for service and rules
which put almost no limit on shape or
rig and which make swift sailing tin- j
der every condition of sea and wind
the one desideratum contain those ele-
ments of practical common sense
which must fire the popular imagina-
tion the worltl over. Entries in the
race for the Kaiser's cup have already
been made from Germany, England
and America, and all the prospects
point to a contest the like of which
has never before been seen. This trans-
Atlantic race in May will be. of course,
the spectacular event of the yachting
year, but other contests . ave been ar-
ranged which will test the seagoing
qualities of the pleasure craft of Amer-
ica and the skill of their skippers. Sir

CHAPTER X.
ItEIJINMNa OF TIIE HAZARD.
| IX bells were striking on the
Sutherland as Wolfe and
Grafton came out of the
cabin. As the sound of the
mournful couplets rang out through
the night the bells of the other vessels
caught up the slow refrain and the
sound was repeated from ship to ship
over the dark river. The character of
the night had changed slightly. Faint
clouds were drifting athwart the star-
lit heavens, and there were heavy
banks to the southward which looked
like rain.
"Will you show the signals, Admi-
ral Holmes?" askpil Wolfe, as he
stepped on deck. "We are all ready,
I believe, sir."
"Very well, general." responded the
admiral, turning to Capt, Itous and
giving hint an order. A moment later
two lanterns were hoisted, one above
the other, at the spanker-gaff end.
The signal was immediately repeated
throughout the squadron. Shrill
whistles rang out as the boatswain's
mates of the different ships bawled
out hoarse commands.
Instantly the soldiers and sailor?
came swarming to their stations.

The young man had pleaded elo-
quently. But the sweet young thing
had been obdurate. Again and again
he entreated her to give him some
room for hope. But she would not.
At last as his final plea he said:

can yachtsmen by offering: a c;ip f()t
40-foot yachts in a race from Sandy
Hook to Marblehead and back, the
course to be outside Nantucket light-
ship. Here is a test worthy the most
daring and hardy of our sailorB.
Napoleon Lajoie, the giant captain-
manager of the Cleveland American
league team, is
easily entitled to
the appellation of
champion batsman
of the world. For
nine years' service
in the major leagues
he has a grand
average of .363,
and, all things
considered, it is
probably the great-
est achievement in
the way of hitting
the ball on record.
The only man
whose grand av-
erage eclipses that of the French-
man is Anson, who, during his U
years record on the diamond, had a
general batting average of .386. But it
must be remembered that during the
years Anson was piling up this record
the art of pitching was in its infancy,
and the grand old man had none of
the puzzling delivery to confront him
like Lajoie had to contend with. The
"spit ball" that Chesbro has made fa-
mous had not been discovered, and
famous other inventions of the wily
pitcher were still in embryo. There-
fore, everything considered, Lajoie'a
performance is quite, if not more cred-
itable than that of Anson. Lajoie'a
record for nine years is truly a won.
derful one. His lowest average during
that time was .328, which he made in
1890, and his highest .422. which was
made in 1901. In the nine years he
went to bat 4,025 times and made 1,161
hits. He also scored 340 runs, stole 2 a
bases ami got 43 sacrifice hits. He haa
participated in 970 games, taking part
i 140 last season. The admirers ol
ans Wagner, of Pittsburg, have at-
tempted to make it appear that he ia
the superior of Lajoie as a batsman,
but the figures do not support the con-
tention. Wagner's grand average for
eight years is .346, and in no single
year has he reached an average of .:>63,
which is I^ajoie's grand average for
nine years.
