Helen did not speak. . It wes the box of létters—those innocent little notes which Willard Rudd bad sent her from time to time and which her father had contrived to get into her keeping without het mother's knowledge. In all things Helen and her father were allies, and be approved of Willard as much as her mothér disapproved. Not that ‘her mother had any reason for her disapprnvll except the fact— “Did you hcar me speak to you Helen?” demanded Mrs. Wilcox stern- Iy. “Yes, mother. What is it?” Mrs., Wilcox brought her hand out of her apron' with ‘a jerk.

'The conversation seemed to be con- fined' to Evelyn and Mr. Ellsworth, thotight John to himself after an hour or s0, and in order to let the newly acquainted couple know that he felt “out of it,” John suggested going be- low for a smoke. “Be back later,” he called to them when he had walked a few feet, but his promise was unheeded, for Evelyn and Paul E were very mich interested 1n saeh otber. horror. She left the room, holding the bottle at arm's length, her nose turn- ed the other way. Helen buried her face in the folds of gingham. Sobs and giggles came on the same breath. Poor father! “If only he dared assert himself,” she thought. “If only I dare! I wonder what she'd do if we did. I fear to Contemplate it. But it's terrible to live like this. There's no peace in this house day or- night.” She reached into the pocket of her blue serge dress and took out a fold- ed note which had come to her under cover of her father. “Dear Helen,” it said. “I'm coming home in a few days, and 1 want 1o see you. I'd like to have this 'thihg settled. They've raised my wages and 1 can marry easy as not. And‘I want you. 'You know that. WILLARD.” The sobs ceased and the smiles came. She kissed the letter passion- ately. At that instant a hand from be- hind grasped her shoulder #nd the let- ter was isnatched away. With a cry she looked up into her mother’s accus- ing face, “I've been watching you, too, young For days after Evelyn seemed to for- get that there ever existed such a per- gon as John Ramsay. Confidently, John was terribly in loye with Evelyn, and her lack of in- terest in him seemed to be wrench- ing ‘his heart of all its natural glow. ‘Then suddefy one afternoon the old ‘but ever 'ttde law 'of compensation arose to its zeaith for John, Luncheon had just been served and the guests were idliag ' about, some ceming up the companionway from the dining salon and ‘others at their cus- tomary places g the steamer chairs on deck, Evelyn was just coming along the deck with Paul Ellsworth. She stopped, the fizst time in many days, and the three begam a meérry chat— @8 merry as John could possibly make himself be. “Wonder who invented this subma- rine scare they tell us about,” Paul Ellsworth remarked as he struck a match and held it to his cigar. “Never can tell,” John answered. “They are about somewhere and—" ‘Just then like & shot from & pistol & lady,” she said, calmly. “And now T've caught you. Ha!" She read the note while Helen squirmed in agony, her head in her hands. “Ha he wants you! Well, he can want. No daugh- ter of mine shall marry Degl Rudd's son. I'll put this note with your fa- ther's—that thing. Oh, I'll'iave some- thing to say to himi when he comes home, and don't you forget it. And I want to tell you right' now that such goings on are going te'stop or I'll know the reason why. Now, yoi fiark your noise and finish that apron right away. I'm going out to stir up a johnnycake for supper.” When-Mrs. Wilcox wished to add the last stroke to the punishment of her husband or daughter she always made johnnycake, because she knew they both hated it. As Helen wiped her face and continued sewing she heard & spoon clapping against the gydes of the big yellow mixing bowl. Through her fresh trouble trickled a sense of painful amusement. “She’s making a big one this time,” she thought, “and we'll have to edt it, every crumb.” Behind her the door that led into the hall opemed tentatively and her father’s cautious whisper reached her acrpss the room. he asked. Helen swung round and looked ut him, He was a stout, loosely put to- gether man, in large, untidy clothes. He had a mild, sweet face and eyes that would have been humorous if they were not so anxious, “Where?” he asked agaisn, putting a hand behind the best of his deaf ears. Helen iotioned toward the kitchen. Then she ran to him, put her lips to his ear, and told him what had hap- pened. He nodded with an occasional “Um “She did, eh? Pshaw!” he sai He flumbled in his pocket. “Here’s some- thing for ye. Willard’s here and he wrote this in my office. I told him warn’t no chance of his sceing you right off, so he better send you a line.” Sba had just time to slip her treas- ure into the neck of her dress as her mother lesked into the room, “Ha!” You've come, have you?” she said, glaring at her husband. “I was on the lookout for you., I've got something to say to you, Fletcher Wil- cox.” Helen fled. “Where's she In her own room she By Elsie shut the door, flung hersclf on the bed and covered her head with a pillow. Her mother’s righteous wrath was ap- palling. Sometimes even the neigh- bors heard it. After a while she un- covered her head. There was quiet below. Now and then she heard her father's voice with a new note in it, and a feeble murmur that might have been her mother’s. She sat up on the bed, palpitating. What had happened? She was terrified. Had her mother thrown somethinz, perhaps, and struck her father? Her dear, patient old fa- ther! She must sce. Fairly tumbling down the long flight of carpeted stairs she rezched the sitting room door. Her mother sat on the couch, a little less upright than usual, looking down her nose. Her father stood beside her, very flusded, but with all the mildness of his face suddenly congealed into de- termination. He saw Helen and beck- oned. » “Come here, daughter,” As she slid toward him he passed his arm about her and ' drew her nearer. “Your mother and I've been having a little talk,” he said, in his slow, gentle voice. “We've—we've come to an un- Endicott derstanding.

Chairs were vacat- ed with lightning speed. The people were frightened, drawn looks on their faces became frantic with fear. Wom- en and men were scurrying hither and thither, trying all at once to get be- low to their staterooms for their valu- ables, Paul Ellswerth of all the men was most excited. “Wait,” John Ramsay said in his de- cisive, commanding tone. *“Wait nothing,” returned Paul tremblingly. “I've got too much at stake to take any chance with my life,” he added, as he rushed into the cabin. John was about to lead Evelyn up to the top deck, where the lifeboats were being prepared, when she scampered away from him and out of sight like a shot, The ship was surely in distress. Ev- ery passenger aboard knew within a few minutes there ' wag danger, and their animal instinct was M itselt, Be £ The only cool, calm and collected man aboard outside the officials was John Ramsay. With cheering words he assured the women there was no danger, The life boats were filled, women first, as the first mate commanded; then the Hfe preservers were handed to the remaining women on the deck. Evelyn’ was nowhere to be found on the deck. She must already have been taken in one of the lifeboats, John thought to himself. As he turned to look through the crowd behind him he spied a figure disappearing in the doorway. John left his post at the lifeboats and hast- ened after the figure. He followed Paul Bllsworth down below, deck by deck, until he came to the bottom. A grim picture formed in Jobn's mind as back into the steerage he followed him, It was true! So true that all the instinct of manhood came surging to John's clenched hands as he saw Paul snatch a life preserver from a wom- an’s arms. He nhad just taken it from her and was about to run upstairs when John Ramsay swung on him with all his might. “Never while I live will you do that, you eur,” John seethed at him, while he grasped him by the throat and turned him to the floor. He hurled the life preserver back to the little dark Italian woman who had stood with hollowed eyes and face as white as death looking dt the beast of a man. “You'll die right here before you drown,” John Ramsay promised as he strove to remove Ellsworth’s clench from his wrists, Suddenly like a shadow from the sea John saw a dark figure emerge from behind some barrels. “John! John!” screamed Evelyn hysterically, “don’t do it, don't—I saw it all too. I followed him, but I never knew what a beast he is—John, please release him for my sake"—and at the sound of Evelyn's voice John's fingers automatically relased the death grip he held on Ellsworth's throat. “But Evelyn, hurry; dear girl, you'll not get into the lifeboat—hurry,” he was saying now, as he took her by the By Phil Moore arm and rushed her at breathless speed up the companionway to the top deck. “What's wrong?” queried Jonn per- plexed. “Nothing wrong,” thank God,” the captain answered. “It was only a United States submarine coming up to say how d'ye do, but the word alone spreads terror and the passengers got to the lifeboats without my orders.” Late that afternoon, as the sun dozed on the horizon before going to rest, John and Evelyn were sitting to- gether on deck in a secluded little spot. Paul Ellsworth walked past, his head hung low. They ignored him en- tirely. “John,” Evelyn breathed a few mo- ments later, “I never knew what white brick idealists were made of.’ * “Nor I how yellow those bricks turn under the shadow of gold,” he answer- ed cleverly, but the look that flashed from one to the other was like & searchlight into each other’s soul—as Evelyn remarked a few weeks later when she was Mrs. John Ramsay, 3 : ;
