CHAPTER VIII.—Continued.
Her training had not been manual,
but fhe was bright enough to atipple
ntent her lack of skill and after some
hours of hard work she actually got
one oar in an upright position and se-
curely lashed Out of the heavy cloak
—more a huge circular than anything
else—she improvised a sail with the
other oar as a boom thrust across the
boat between the mast and the little
forward deck. The coat had been
heavily braided. She ripped the silk
braid from the edge, cut off the hood
of the cloak and managed a triangular
sail laced by the silk braid to mast
and boom
The boom was immobile and the
only way she could sail was straight
beiore the wind. If the wind shifted,
she would shift with it. She had some

when she finished her labors, but sh
was more than satisfied with what she
had accomplished, for the cloak was
big enough to give an appreciable
way to the boat She guessed it might
be three or four knots an hour. That
would be nearly 100 miles a day-
She could eke out her provisions and
water for five or six days longer and
she could go without for two or three
days after the last drop and morsel
had vanished Perhaps she might run
down a habitable island in that time.
Possibly, although this possibility was
more faint than the other, she might
be seen by some vessel and picked up
At any rate, all she could do was done
She felt better, too. because she had
made a human contribution to the de
termination of her fate She was no
longer absolutely at the play of
chance. For five days she sailed 1
steadily on. the breeze remaining even 1
and holding unvaryingly true for that I
period. She learned the trick of lash j
lug the wheel at night and so was ,
able to take as much rest as her tired,
worn and racked body permitted in 1
the confinement of the little boat
She had abundance of time for j
thought Titne was when she had rev j
eled in such opportunities, but there
was less enjoyment In the chances af 1
forded her now That she who had I
lived In the high realm of speculation
should suddenly become a woman of 1
action, fighting for life, struck her as 1
a strange thing. Insensibly the condi-
tions of her present existence modi-'
fled her pholosophy It seemed differ
ent. a smaller thing. She was less
aure and confident of herself alone
In the great immensity than in the
crowded city. There were no applaud
ing thousands. She breathed no air
of adulation. She was alone w ith her
boui. The man who is alone is always
face to face with Ood, though his eyes
may lie hidden so that he cannot see
the Divine. It was so with this
woman.
Never had she so craved other
companionship. She would have been
happy If she could have believed that
there was a flod. for had there been a
God she would not have felt so de
■erted. So she fought on against her
soul and her circumstances—a losing
battle
The sixth day opened dark and
gloomy. The wind had risen during
the night. The day broke heavily
overcast. Even to her inexperience
«he could realize that a storm was at
hand She had seen nothing during
the period; that is, nothing of which
she could avail herself Twice once
to starboard and another time to port,
she had passed low lying islands, dim
on the horizon She had no way of
checking the boat or of changing Its
course to run down either of them
She had to go on Just as she was. She
realized that she could never land un
less she were driven directly upon
some Island that might lie In her
c-ourBe. She knew. loo. that the
chances that might happen were very
remote. Sbe had daily diminished
the portion of food and drink she al
lotted to herself. She had husbanded
everything with the utmost care. On
the sixth day they were gone. She
awoke with a frightful craving which
Intensified as the day drew on
She was thaiikful for one thing that
the sun was veiled, although she heal
In the humid, heavy, overcast air was
something almost unbearable I'nder
the freshening breene the boat went
much more swirtly than heretofore.
She had that satisfaction, but Bhe
had the apprehension that If the wind
grew any stronger her sail, service-
able as it had proved and stout as It
was, would lie torn to pieces. The
silk braid hud done splendid service,
but she mat • il that It was now
strained 'o e breaking point
I the helplessness of her position came
upon her She could not take down
the sail. In the first place she was
afraid to leave tbe helm and In the
second place she realized that If she
•tarled to lurl It she could only do It
ly cutting the lushing and at the first
, i ul the whole thing would blow away
I So she held on. There was nothing
| | vise to do
I The li ght fell lo ■ burst of rain
that was the end and yet while she
had a remainder of strength, while
she could draw a flickering breath,
she would not give up. The boat, be-
ing water-logged, did not pitch so
much as before and she was able to
maintain her hold, although every
wave that broke over her drenched
her again ahd again.
She wondered why the boat did not
sink and then she realized that the
empty gasoline tanks which she had
closed and locked, prevented the final
catastrophe: that the boat was In a
certain sense a life boat; that It would
float so long as the water pressure
did not succeed in opening the tanks.
Therefore, she was for the moment
safe. Tbe only immediate danger
would be the capsizing of the boat
which would throw her out. Since
the launch was already full of water
the woman dtd not think this was
likely to happen.
She held on. her vitality gradually
growing weaker, hoping for the morn
ing and an abatement of the storm.
She had no Idea of time, of course.
She could not tell w hat the hour was
It was still dark, however, when a
strange sound smote her ear She
heard It above the w ild scream of the
wind and the awful heat of the waves
It was a crashing sound, a battering
sound, a fearful, protentous sound.
The boat ran forward more swiftly
now. She wondered the reason Tak
itig advantage of a brief lull, she
abandoned her grip on the thwart and
rose to her knees Immediately In
front of her she saw a white wall dis-
closed to her by the lightning flashes.
She did not know what it was. The
roaring sound came from thence Sin-
was being borne rapidly toward It |
| She was nearing it with astonishing
sw iftness. The boat was moving more
quickly now than at any time since
slie had been in It. At last it broke
upon her consciousness that the white
wall was a mass of foam; that the sea
was crashing against some hidden
I shore and that great breakers were
there
The land that she had longed for
indeed lay athwart her course. In
another moment she would be in that
I mass of boiling foam Well, she had
I fought a good fight The end was at
hand. With some instinct of the
I heroic, death would not find her lying
I down Desperately she struggled to
| her feet and st(Kid, balancing herself
to the wild onward rush of the boat.
The wall of foaui was cltise at hand
Eor one second she threw out her
arms and the next moment, with a
crash which she could feel if not
hear, the boat beneath her feet was
lifted up and burled on something
fearfully solid. Sbe was thruwn
through the air like a bolt from a cat
apult. A wave struck her in the back
and beat her almost into insensibility.
She was tossed and drlv
he, and she washed white she hoped
und prayed in spite of spots, they lived
a life of Idyllic Innocence. Yet be-
cause he was a man und she was a
woman, strange fires glowed beneath
the outward calm, strange Ideas aud
desires and thoughts rose from both
hearts. This was Inevitable. Her
original relation to the man had been
oiie of so great superiority as to be
fatal to the early development of any
feeling but the maternal. Even now
she possessed the superiority which
association with her kind, her longer
training and her greater opportunities
had given her. And yet she could only
recognize that to the impartial view
considering his abilities and oppor-
tunities he stood quite on a level with
her. Perhaps had he enjoyed her
chances he might have stood higher.
She began to idealize him. to dream
about him. to wonder. She trembled
on the verge of passion. She knew his
to be a brilliant mind. She divined
his to be a knightly soul. Physically,
in lace and figure, no more splendid
man. untrammeled by base convention,
ever stood upon the earth's surface.
Grace and. strength mingled In har-|
mony that was as striking as It was
full of charui. She had no opportuni
ty to test his courage, for no physical
duniter ever menaced them. But she
believed in his manhood thoroughly
The woman had had bitter experi-
ence with love. Following what she
believed to be the highest inspiration
she had wrecked her life and brought
herself to this pass The revolt In
her soul at the thought of the man
w ho had so degraded her, or w ho had
so taken advantage of her Ignorance
and Innocence—the more, complete
since they were covered by a confi-
dence of knowledge and sophistication
- us to allow her to degrade herself,
convinced her that what she had mis-
taken for divine light was only a false
lire, an Ignis fatuus which had led her
into the marsh and slough of sllme
and shame She loathed the thought
of that man. She had loathed, when
she bad been thrown upon that Island,
trembling that used to take him when-
ever he touched her. but she could
leel his pulse beat and throb when by
chance there was any contact even
of the casual between them. Some-
times he had asked her strange que*
Hons which she bad put by. and some-
times she caught him looking at her
In strange ways that sent the blood to
her skin, and sometimes turned her
pale. Yet she lived in the fool's para,
dlse. She did not awake to the possV
bllltles of that which she had made
him because her apprehension of him
had not kept pace with his apprehen-
sion of her. To her be was still In
some degree the creature that he bad
been and sometimes she thought upon
her growing love for him with a feel-
ing of shame as If H were a conde-
scension, a derogation.
She did not know what blood wag
leaping in the vein* of the man and
how he taught himself, because she
had instilled In him honor and de
cency and t'hrlstllke self control, to
repress these things. She did not
know how much faster he had learned
certain things than she had intended.
She did not know how Instinctively
he had leaped to conclusions whlcb
she Imagined were still latent In hit
mind. This was a good man, this
was an honest ni".n, this was a gen
tleman, this was a Christian man.
There was no question about his faith.
It was as simple and abiding as It wag
sincere. The early Christians whg
had been brought In personal touch
with the Master and his men were
not more faithful, acceptant and de
voted. Yet this wag a very human
man in apite of all these thing*, a
man of splendid vigor and health with

and aspirations. And he loved her.

whether that confidence were war-
ranted or not because of him. Sti|H

the world, what would happen? Was
he. too. capable of breaking a wo-
man's heart? Would he do it? Wat
her's the heart? What would the soli

j der which life was lived, as she hac
known it, do for him? Would he still
be unspotted? Would he think her
the same? She had taught him many
things But how should he learn to
fight temptations, temptations with
which he had no experience, which
never came to him, she fondly
dreamed.
Yet she had confidence In him. She
had confidence in (Sod. and we cannot
have confidence In llod without some
confidence In man. The converse, too.
Is true. Therefore she believed. She
was confident that he would rise su-
preme In the face of every test She
wondered If the test would ever be aie
plied to him. If she would be there to
see She found herself praying for
affirmation In both matters. Her be-
lief In him would only be belief
founded upon hope until he had been
tried. There was a doubt about hlin
that must be resolved; she must re-
solve It. she could never be satisfied.
In spite of her belief, until she had
done so. The very fact that she
