They clung ta the railing, then fought their way to the hold., Hidden by the darkness and the slest, no one saw them carry up the heavy liquor cases and drop them into the sea. The noise of the storm con- cealed the little sound they made, Finally only two bottles remained, the last of a broken case. “You take one of it in your room,” McNabh advised “T'll keep the other.

For another instant she seemed to hang suspended, as if sud denly taken wing, and then there was a sheer drop, a sense of falling out | of the world, A queer ripping, tear-| ing sound, not loud at all, not half so | terrifying as the bluster of the wind, reached them from the hold. | Cold sober, Knutsen turned in his place and gonged down certain orders | to ‘Forest.

Of| |the three women, Bess alone moved | torward, out of the shelter of the| cabin, to be of what aid she could.| | Her drawn, white face was oddly | childlike in the lantern light.. Mrs. | Hardenworth had been stricken and silenced by the nearing visage of death; Lenore, almost unconscious | with terror, made strangling, sobbing sounds that the wind carried away. And in this moment of infinite travall Ned Cornet felt his manhood stirring within him. Ned came up, and Knutsen's cold gazé leaped over his face, ‘““Help me here,” he commanded. “McNab, you help Torest and Julius launch the| larger boat.” . There was not much launching to do. Waves were already bursting over the deck. Knutsen turned once more. “We want four people in each boat,” he directed sharply. ‘‘Cornet, you and 1 and Miss Hardenworth in this one. The other girl will ha\:e | to get in here, too. The other boat's slightly larger-—Mrs. Hardenworth get in with McNab, Forest, and Julius.” “put Mrs. Hardenworth in your | boat, so* she and lLenore can be to- | gether,” Bess told Captain Knutsen. “I'll get in the other.” The captain did not seem to hear. | He continued to shout his orders. In the work of lowering /the lifeboat he thad cause to life his lantern high, | and. for a moment. its yellow gleam was bright upon Bess' drawn, hag- | gard face. Farther off it revealed Ned, white-faced but erect in the heat | of the storm. In one instant's insight, a glimpse between the storm and the | sea, he understood that she was tak-| ing him at his word, “Giet in with us" he said shortly. “Don't be silly—as 1 was.'' Then, Jest she should mistake his senti-| ment: “Mrs, Hardenworth is twice | your weight, and this boat will be | overtoaded as it is." ’ | The girl looked at nodding her head. He helped her into the dory. Jul- ius, who at the captain's orders had been rifting the cabins, threw blankets | to her. Then tenderly, lending her | | nis strength, Ned heiped Lenore over the wind-swept deck into the bow seat of the life-beat; nearest to the geat he would take himself. “Buck single | him quietly, |and the storm had already dropped |PATENTS ISSUED TO "CONNECTICUT PEOPLE| Store, 211 Main street, New Britain.)
