I ' . TODAY, JULY 27, wo. " 1 TnE ARIIKVTLLE CITIZEN. ' V he ILLARof Louis Tracy, IGHT Author of Th Wings of (Ko Morning", CopyrUht, ISM, by Edward J. Clod CHAPTER IWContlnued.) Tn private Oiey discussed bun often, and a common agreement wa mad that Ua wish to remain incognito abonld bo respected. Their nickname, "too cap'n," was a tacit admission of Ilia higher social rank. Tbey feared test lnquliltlvenes should drive him from their midst, and one Bupernuraer- ary, who beard from the cook of the Trinity tender that Brand was the nephew of a baronet, waa roughly bid den to "clone his rat trap, or he might catch something be couldn't eat." Bo Jim now contented himself by re marking dolefully that bad his advice been taken "the bloomln' kid would be well on her way back to the Bcllly Isles." "Too must not say that," was the grave response. "These things are de termined by a higher power than man's Intelligence. Think how the seeming accident of a fallen sail saved the child from the cormorant and other birds: bow a chance sea fell Into the boat and kept, tier alive; how mere, kilo curiosity on my' part Impelled me to awlm out and Investigate mutters." That's ydnr way of puffin" it," Jim whs forced to say. "Ton knew quite well that there might be a shark In her wake or you wouldu't bar taken the knife. An' now yon won't hare a word said about It. At the- bombardment of Alexandria a messmate of mtno got the VNC. for less." "The real point Is, Jim, that we have npt yet discovered what ship this boat belongs to." ''No, an' what's more, we won't find out in a hurry. Her name's gone foro and aft," "Ig there nothing (eft to help ns?" "Only this." The sailor produced the brooch from Ills waistcoat pocket. It was of the safety pin order, but made of gold and ornamented with mini 11 emeralds set as a four leafed shamrock. "Is the milker's name on the sail 5" "Ves, that Is little enough to expect. Yet It is more than probable that her parents are dead. A baby would be separated from her mother only by the mother's death. There is a very real ebanee that poor -'B.-T.' will be left for years on the bands of those who take charge of ber now. The only alterna tive Is the workhouse." "That's so, cap'n," put In Jim. "You always dig to the heart of a subjec". even If It's a shark." "In a word, Jones, yon can hardly be asked to assume such a responsibility. Now, it happens that. I can afford to adopt the child if she lives and Is not claimed by relatives. It is almost duty imposed on me by events. When the doctor comes, therefore, I purpose asking him to see that she Is handed over to Mrs, Sbeppard, the nurse who looks after my own little girl. I will write to her. My turn ashore comes next week. Then I can devote some time to Jho necessary Inquiries." Jones made no protest He knew that Brand's suggestion was a good one, and he promised silence with re gard to the fight with the shark. Men lu the lighthouse service are quick to grasp the motives which cause others to avoid publicity. They . live sedate, lonely lives. The noise, the rush, the purposeless activities of exlsteneo ashore weary them. They have been known to petition the Trinity Brethren to send them back to Isolated station when promoted to localities where th pleasures and excitements of a town were available. Having determined the Immediate fu ture of little "E. T" whose shrunken features were now placid In sleep, they j quietly separated. Brand flung himself wearily into a bunk to obtain a much needed rest, and the others hurried to overtake the many duties awaiting them. Weather reports and dally journals demanded Instant attention. The oil when his brain was tirret.( "That's O. K. for tho T,' 'remarked Jim, "but what about the 'ET EUxa betb is a nice name when you make it into Beasle." "I think wa should keep up the idea of the Arthurian legend. There are two that come to my mind, Elnlue and Enid. Elaine died young, the victim of an unhappy love. Enid became the wife of a gallant knight, Oawaln, who waa "Ever foremost In the chtuM And victor at the tilt and tournament; Tbey called hint tha Brent prince and man of men. :, But Enid, whom ber ladles loved to call Enid tha Fslr, a grateful people named Enid the Good." i ' i "That settles It." crledJIm, brandish Ing bis pipe toward romance. "I hope as bow Miss Enid Trevllllon is asleep an' doln' well, an' that she'll grow up to be both fair an' good. If he does, she'll be bettor'n most women " Brand made no reply.- lie weiit wltb- In to attend to the lantern. In five minutes the great eyes of the LItard, the Longsblps and the Seven Stones lightship were solemnly staring at their fellow warden "of the Gulf Kock, while, In tha far west, so clear was the night, the single flash of St. Agnes and the double flash of the Bishop illu mined the sky. No. I fancy that this craft was rig- . expenditure, tho breakage of gloss ged on board ship for harbor crnisin Brand passed a band wearily across his forehead. "I wish I lind not been so precipi tate," he murmured. "That man had papers on him. in all likelihood." "You couldn't have stood It, mate. It was bad -enough for me. It must btt' been worse for you." TerhnrMl -tin tmfoy'r'5 clothes are marked." "That's a chance. She was well rig ged otit." Brand cast the shark loose. Tbo monster slid off Into the green depths. "Ah! JTwt ( very important." A noiseless procession of dim forms rushed after the carcass. The birds, shrill with disappointment, darted off to scour the neighboring sea Beyond the damaged boat, bumping against the rock, and the huge Jaws with their rows of wedge shaped teeth, naught remained to testify to the drama of the hour save the helpless baby on which the head keeper was waiting so sedulously. Alrexdv the slgnnl "Doctor wanted" was fluttering from the lighthouse flag staff. It would be noted at the Land's End and telegraphed to Penzance. The morning would he well advanced before help could reach the Gulf Rock from ashore. When Brand and Spence entered Jones" bedroom they found him hard at work washing the child's clothing. "She's asleep," be said. Jerking his head toward a bunk. "I geV her a pint of mixture. She cried a bit when there was no more to be had, but a warm, bath with some boric acid in It made her sleepy. An' there she Is, snug as a cat." The domesticated Jones was up to hi elbows in a lather of soap. "Have yon noticed any laundry marks or Initials on ber clothing r asked Brand.' "Yes. Here joa are." He fished out of the bubbles a little vest, on whtch were worked the letters E. T. In white silk. "Ah! That Is very Important. We can establish her Identity, especially If the lanndry mark l there also. "I'm feared there's nothing else," said Jones. "I've not looked very care fully, as it'll take me all my time to get everything dry afore the tug comes. As for Iro&lnV It can't be done.

Until noon each day a rock lighthouse Is the scene of un remitting diligence, aud the loss ot nearly an hour and a half of Bpenec's wa tch,' added to the presence of the baby and'the constant caro which one or other of the two men bestowed on her, made the remaining time doubly precious. About 0 o'clock Brand was awaken ed from a heavy slumber by Jim's hearty voice: "Breakfast ready, cap'n. Corfee, eggs an' haddlck fit for the queen, God bless herl An' baby's had another pint of Jones' brewLord love her lit tle eyes, though I haven't seen 'em yet! A minlt ago Jones down to mo that the Lancelot has Just cleared Cam du. The concluding statement brought Brand to his feet The doctor would be on the rock by the time breakfast was ended and the letter to Mrs. Sbeppard written. When the doctor did arrive he shook his bead dubiously at first sight of the child. "I don't know how she lived. Sbe Is a mere skeleton," be said. Brand explained matters and hinted at his theory. "Oh, the way9 of nature are wonder ful," admitted the doctor. "Sometimes a man will die from an absurdly trivial thing, like the sting of a wasp or the cutting of a finger. At others you can fling bim headlong from the Alps and he will merely suffer a bruise or two. Of course, this Infant has an excep tionally strong constitution or she would have ded days ago. However, ; you have done right so fnr. I will see to her proper nourishment during the next few days. It Is a most extraor dinary case." Jones bad managed so well that the child's garments were dry and well aired. Wrapped lii a clean blanket, she was lowered Into the steamer's boat, but the doctor, preferring to Jump, was soaked to the waist owing to a slip on the weed covered rock. the derelict and towed her to Pen zance. That evening a fisherman brought a note from Mrs. Sbeppard. Among oth er things, she wrote that the baby's clothes were beautifully made and of a very expensive type. She was fever ish, the doctor said, but the condition of her eyes and lips would account for this, apart from the effects of prolong ed exposure. Brand read the letter to his mates when the trio were enjoying an eyaa Ing pipe on the "promenade," the outer balcony under the lantern. S'pose ber people don't show up," observed Jim, "what are you goln' to call ber?" "TrevHllon." said Brand. The others gazed at bim with sur prise. The prompt announcement was unexpected. , ' I bave told you about the fabled land of Lronnewte lying there beneath the sea," he went on, pointing to the CHAPTER m. T the foot of a long flight of steps leading from the boat quay to the placid waters of Penzance harbor a stoutly built craft was moored. It had two occu pants this bright January morning, and .they were sufficiently diverse In appearance to attract the attention of the local squad of that great army of lounger which seems to thrive in to bacco blessed content at all places where men go down to the sea in ships. The pair consisted of a weather beat en fisherman and a girl. The man was scarred and blistered by wind and wave until be had attain ed much outward semblance to bis craft Nevertheless, man and boat looked reliable. Tbey were sturdy and atrong; antiquated, perhaps, and greatly In want of a new coat, but shaped on lines to resist the elements together ftir years to come. Ben Pollard aud his pilchard driver, Daisy, were Cornish celebrities of note. Not once, but many times, bad tbey been made Im mortalwith the uncertain immortal ity of art by painters of the Newlyn school. The girl, an animated cameo, to which the shabby plcturesqueness of old Ben in bis patched garments and old Daisy In her unkempt solidity sup:, piled a fitting background, merited tit tacit approval she received from tho pipe smokers. Flaxen haired, blue eyed, with a face of a delicate, flowerlike Ufa lit y, which added to Its mobile charm by the healthy glow of a skin brightened and deepened In tone by an abiding love of the open air, she Suggested, by her attire, an artistic study of the color ef fects derivable from the daringly trust ful little plant which gave the bout Its name. She wore a coat and aklrt of green cloth, lightly hemmed and cuffed with dark red braid. Her large white bat was trimmed with velvet of a tone to match the braid, and her neatly fit ting brown boots and gloves were of the right shade. Beneath her confjl there was a glimpse of a knitted Jersey of soft white wool, this being a tribute to the season, though a .winter In Lyounesse can usually shrug its com fortable shoulders at the deceitful vagaries of the Riviera. 4 That she was.. a young pcrsop of some maritime, experience was visible to the connoisseur above at a glance. Sbe was busily engaged In packing the spacious lockers of the Daisy with cer tain stores of apples, oranges and veg etablesranging from the lordly new potato (an aristocrat at that time of the year) to the plebeian cabbage and her lithe, active figure moved with an ease born of confidence in the erratic principles of gravitation as codified and arranged by a, rocking boat. Pollard, too, " was overhauling his gear, seeing that the mast was secure ly stepped and the tackle ran free. While they worked they talked, and, of course, the critics listened. "Do you think the weather will hold, Bent" asked the girl over her shoulder, stooping to arrange some cluster of daffodils and narcissus so that tbey should not suffer by the lurch of some heavy package when the boat keeled over. "The glass be a-fallln', sure, missy," said the old fellow cheerily, "but wl' the wind backln' round to the norrard it on'y means a drop o' wet." "You think we will make the rock In good time?" "We'm do our best. Miss Enid." :"She!Mruf:'Bnd(l "Don't you dare tell me, Ben Pollard, that after all our preparations we may have to turn back or run for Inglorious shelter Into Lamorna." Her mock Indignation Induced a mass ive grin. "A mahogany table break ing Into mirth," was Enid's private de scription of Ben's face when he smiled. '"Ee knaw the coast, as well as most," be said. "Farther go, stronger blow, 'ee knaw." j "And not so slow, eh, Bent confines the Bcllly isle were silhou etted by the last glow of the vanished sun. "Well, the name of the only per son who escaped from that minor del uge was Trevllllon. It is suitable, and It accords wltb the initial of her prob able surname." , "Oh, I seer piped Jonea. Hi voice, always bb?B pttcbef, Mrtni squeaky Really you and the Daisy look more tubby every time I see you. Thus 'disparaged, Pollard defended himself and bis craft. "Me an' Daisy '11 sail to Gulf light qulcker'n any other two tubs in Pen zance, missy. Her be a long run at this time o' year, but you'm get there all right, I 'xpect. Wl' a norrard breeze we'm be safe enough. If the wind makes 'ee c'n zee et comln', ee knaw." She laughed quietly.

The Settled chaos of the shore bewilder, him. The changeful sea canuot,..' -. ..... Meanwhile, the dawdlers lining the wharf, following Enid's signals wltb their eyes, devoted themselves to a covert staring at the young people hurrying along tha quay. Constance Brand, being a young and pretty woman, secured their Instant suffrage. Indeed, she would hva won the favorable verdict of a more sever audience. Taller than Enid, ah had the brown hair and hazel eyes of her father.

It may be, with ome little excitement, conveyed the same transatlantic cuaracteistlc. Ope said at seeing ber: "Here Is a girl who ha lived much abroad." It cnuie as a sur prise to learn tliut she bad never crossed the chaunel, The man with her, Lleuteuant John Perclval Stanhope,-' R. N., wa too fa miliar a figure la Penzance to evoke muttered comment from the gallery. A masterful yottng gentleman b looked, and one;, accustomed to having his own wayUuith wW-M, whether lu love or war, True type of the British sailor, be had tb physique of a strong man and .ttheuflyenturously cheerful expression of a hoy. The skin of his face aud bands, olive tinted with exposure, his dark balr and the curved eyelash, which drooped over his blue eye, tio less than the ar tistic proclivities suggested by his well cbisled feature and long, tapering Au gers, proclaimed that Btanhope, not' wlthHtaudlng'hl Shxon surname And bluff bearing, wa a Celt. His mother, In fact, was Tregarthen of Cornwall, daughter of a peer and a leading figure in local society. One may ask, "Why should a youth of good birth and social position be on such terms of easy familiarity with two girls, one of whom wa the daugh ter of a lighthouse keeper and the other her sister by adopt ton V" Indeed a great many people did ask this pertinent question. Among others, Lady Margaret Stanhope put It often and pointedly t her son without any cogent answer being forthcoming. If she were denied enlightenment, al though her maternal anxiety was Justi fiable, the smokers on the pier, ns rep resenting the wider gossip of the town, may also be left unsatiBfled. "This is a nice thing," he cried when he came within speaking distance of the girl lu the boat. "I manage to bam boozle the admiral out bf three days' leave and I rush to Penzance to be told that Constance and you are off to the Gulf Rock for the day. It Is too bad of you, Enid." Eyebrow were raised and silent Winks exchanged among the human sparrows lining (he rails. "So Master .Inck came to see Miss Trevllllon, eh? What would her lady ship sny if sbe beard that?"

"What a pity you can't sail out to the rocK Witn us today: -lomorvuli in so distant." The minx lifted lier blue eyes to his with sncb Ingenuous regret in them that Stanhoiw lnu.'ld, and pipes wi-re shifted to penult the listeners above their beads to sTilKtfer approval of , Ber qnip. "Dad will wig u enough as it Is, Enid," said the otljer girl. "We are bringing bim a peace offering of the fruits of the earth. Jack." "Will you be able to land?' ,, "One never ran tell.

"It sounds unconvincing," said Con- tance. "You must supply details to morrow. Kuld, thnt horrid pnu of your rulu th word." "Are w alxo to npply luncheon?" chimed lu Enid, , 'Perish tha thought. I have lived on sandwiches and I tot tied beer for week. There! Off you go," . He gave the boat a vigorous push and stood for a Utile while at the foot of the steps, ostensibly to light a cigar.

Then she Sed round the end of th solid pier and van ished, whereupon Lieutenant Stanhope walked lowly to the promenade, whence he could see the diminishing speck of canvas on the shlulug sea un til It was hidden by Clement' island. At last the devotees of twist and shag, resting their tired arm on the railing, were able to exchange com incuts, ' "Brace 0 One gells, them," olworved the acknowledged loader, a broken down "captain" of a mine abandoned soon after his birth, "Fine," agreed hi nearest henchman, Then, catching the gloom of tha cap tain's gnxe after Stauhopa's retreating figure, he added: "But what does that young spark want, turning their pretty head fur them, I should like to know?" "They didn't seem partlc'lar tuctt on Ira," ventured another. "The ways of women Is curlou," pronounced the oracle. "I once knew a gel!" But bis personal reminiscence were not of value.
