Why Does Madge Affect Ldllian's Protege So Strangely ? | “Marion!"” Lillian’s volce sounded ecommand, the Instant that her young daughter's hands were freo to leave the wheel of our car. | “Yes, Mothe “Where is Junior? 1 can't see bim."

Tell him he mustn't move, if he wants to help his moth- or.” My child was screaming with ter- ror for me by this time, and I do not think anyone, save Marion, could have quieted him. But she is the young goddess of his haby adoration, and it scemed but a few seconds before he was quietly perched upon the running board and Marion was back In the car, listening attentively to her mather's | further directions “Kneel down on the seat, Marion, | and take hold of the hand nearest to you. Grip it tightly with both hands. Then, when I've shifted my hold to the oti® hand and give vou the word, pull with all your| might. Madgs, the second you feel this grip relax, get free and help Marion.” Her daughter obeyed her. Pres- ently I heard Lillian's “Now,” and felt the ciawing grip upon my arms relaxing. Tensing my own muscles, I tore myselt free, and turning swiftly, slezed the hand which Mar- fon was holding. “Come into the tonneau, Mlilian panted, and with Marion,” a_little teeling of panic I reallzed that her physical strength was falling to re- sepond to the goading spur of even her fron will, But even as she spoke the curlous reaction which I had noticed before came over the face of the poor victim of amnesia. | The grip of her hands relaxed and she sank back In her seat, murmur- ing monotonou “My head aches, my head aches. “Yes, I know,” Lilllan sald sooth- ingly, and her voice was as placid as it there had been no interrup- tlon to our journey. “Just put your head down in my arms here and I'll rub it. Marion, cover her up with one ot the robes, and fold the other and put it on theé floor so you an st on it. Driver, please look toward your whoe!." Madge Takes Her Cue I turned my head away swiftly, for I caught her cue as she had meant me to do. She did not wish to risk the girl's opening her eyes and seelng my face. But I had seen enough to reallze how cunning was her strategy. With the girl in a half recumbent position in Lilllan’s arms, covered closely with the restrain- Ing folds of an auto robe, there could be no recurrence of the ter- ritylng experience through which we had just gone. It seerned an eternity since I had heard that raucous, apparently meaningless cry, “What have you done with him?” and had felt that manfacal grip upon my arms, but I knew that in reality but a few min- utes had passed. I settled myself be- hind the steering wheel and waited for Lillian's next direction, not dar- ing even to speak to Junior, for fear of the possible effect of my volce upon the girl. I had not long to wait. |murmured something to Marion and the young girl called softly: “Junior, dear, You may go back to Ma-ma now. Climb up on the at beside her d sit very still | Don't talk."” Her voice broke off suddenly into | a gasping little cry of astonishment. | The next instant a small sedan, curi- ously enough the anly car we had een during our brief little taste of | melodrama, rolled slowly past us, in- | ereasing its speed as soon as it had left us behind. But I saw nothing about it which could have caused Marion’s ejaculation.

In his new role of master, Drake becomes cold and dignified in the presence of Mary. Stevens is reduced to the rank of chiet mate. Answering Mary's plea, Jake starts the Orontes through the Straits of Java, where it is be- calmed, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An hour before dawn Twining reported a rocky coast, apparently of volcanic formation, with sharp rocks rising from deep water right up to the shore. Adams found that the ship lay pinned on one solitary head of rock, with deep water all around to seaward. An anchor was laid out, with a long hawser, and led in over the ship's stern, through leading blocks to the anchor wind- | lass. Every man able to push on a handspike was mustered. If there was power enough, and the tide Stevens, whose enmity he because of a mutual love came high enough, the ship avould EAGER EARS. ladder. At halfway he stopped, for Adams was saying: “Ike isn't around, Miss Manning's cabin door is open, and she's pot there. Her bed wasn't slept in, elther; And what's more, one of the boats is gone!" Stevens dashed up the remainder of the ladder, mouthing questions. Twining had run to the taffrail, to which the boats had been tled. Abreast of the companionway door he collided with Drake coming out of the chart room. Drake had heard through the open ports what Btev- ons had heard from the ladder. Each stopped short, confronting the other. And cach flung out an ac- cusing hand, and the tense demand: “Where s she?” CHAPTER XXV Runaways— Men stood with hookpots mid- way to thelr hanging lips, They re- membered all those occasions dur- ing the early days of the voyage, when Drake, the ship's boy, dared face Stevens, the master, in man- to-man conflict. Twining”and Adams drew near; for the accusing eyes of the two angry men seemed to shoot fire at each other. “Where is she?" demanded Drake icily, The long scar down his cheek writhed like a white ribbon. “You've sent her off to mi of her, you woman buyer!” Charged Stevens with grinding teeth, The men around the gaMey were drawn 6 sure ellde oft the way she slid on, and!aft as chips are drawn by a strong It looks simple.

But the tide had fallen considerably since the stranding, and all the com- bihed strength of the crew could accomplish was to get a terrific strain on the hawser and satisfy Drake that the anchor had taken firm hold. . I The waters lapped softly around the impaled ship. The air was soft and cool. Morning was not far away. The east already had a pearly | gray gleam stealing up across the velvet black of night, Drake sat in the chart room, restless, yet know- ing the need of rest. He had operd | the log hook to enter up the strand ing. But after awhile he threw down his pen without making the, entry, and lay down to strive for a long time fruitlessly to drive Mary | Manning and Jake Stevens from his mind, and to, in the end, fal into a troubled doze. which gave | little of rest | And while the gray curtain stole | over the cast, Mary sat hunched up on her-unopened bed. As the light brightened, she heard ke moving in | his pantry, getting toast and coffee r for another day's beginning. | | She could see the dark loom of the "land grow clear cut. From her port- hole the coast of a sizable island ran away into distance; it looked | barren enough, but there were lit-| {tle stretches of beach, and here and there some wood. It was the first | time she had seen a tree since leav- | ing Table Bay. The colors were mostly gray and slate at that hour; but never had stunted and gnarled verdure seemed to her so much like the gardens of Paradise. She surprised Tke by suddenly appearing In his pantr; “Ike, T am S0 hungry, at him. The little Cockn went on his knees to give her the first toast and the freshest coffce. “I hate the ship now,” she re-| marked. The steward glanced up at | her. She was flushed and her blue eyes were dark. Ike thought she was a bit feverish. He went on| toasting at his charcoal stove. With | one hand he took down from a locker a pot of marmalade, and| €lid it along to her. He never gave marmalade to anybody. Not even to, the captain. She thanked him with a smile that set his scalp tingling. “Thank you, Tke,” she said, “You | shouldn't do this. Pcople who do things to please me ®et knocked | overboard, Tke. It's very, very dan- | gerous, my friend.” |~ *T'a git knocked overboard, too, it you wanted me to, Miss" stut- tered Tke with a rush. She stared at | | the littie man, wide eyed; then| langhed softly, and spoke into his| eager car. At five o'clock men clustered about the galley with their hook- pots, getting coffec and hardtack. Ou the poop Twining and Adams stood at the lapdward rail. Stevens watched them from his place on the skids. He had debated whether to get coffee with the men, or to g0 without through pride. He had no | quarrel “with Twining or Adams: 1t he went to talk with them Ike would no doubt bring him cofee. gotto feed me If I'm a pas- " he grinned:. two officers were talking “I have no boat for that purpose. Miss Manning chooses to take a | boat and go ashore without my per- mission. She may stay until she is tired, then-come back as she went,” | said Drake; and without giving the matter further apparent notice called away a crew and rowed around the | ship to see for himself the daylight position. The two mates got their coffce at the galley; and pretty poor it was. It started them off on their day's work in less than their customary good temper. When Drake returned from his inspection, a grumbling rew and frritable officers awaited his word. “Take one watch to the windlass, and keep a strain on the hawser,” he said. “The tide {is rising, and the hip only hangs by an isolated boul- der on the round of her biige. If the ea rose a little she would slip off. Take the other watch, and heave up all the chain from the locker. Bring if all aft, along with the spare an- chors. I think she will slip off under strain at high water.” Twining and Adams drove their gangs to work, and the cfinking mon- | otony of the captstan pawls began to stab the still air. Stevens paced back and forth in the waist, his blond face red with shame, the glitter of cold fury in his blue eyes, Drake paced the poop coldiy aloof. He watched the sweating sailors drag up great lengths of red dusted cable and flegt them along the maindeck on plank gkids. Heavy spare anchors wer: swung dowh from the forecastle head. They all came aft. And Drake Leenly calculated the place for the weight to be placed in order that so small a difference might make for he most advantage. At the top of the tide, in an hour ‘of so, a very little alteration in weight might de- cide whether Orontes returned to her natural clement agaih, or remained fettered to the shore until sprng tides.
