CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, FEBRUARY 12, 1903. 3 A on$mmQMJ: -: ::- t 3 s ft til : "Whlk!" cried a rolllcklnj , breeze breeza that came pJrouettlng across 4he green water ol Queenstown har bor.

" 'We're off!" rustled the paper, as tt was Jerked from Dexter1 listless Ang ers and sailed away from the Runlc'a rail aa the liner swung bravely around to begin her long westeward battle with the wintry Atlantic, Dexter made a grotesque grab at ' the ta per and missed it. As he recov ered himself he looked Into a pair of black eyes and saw that a young wo nwn not ten feet away was Inwardly mi:gning ai mm. ' "Back wld ye!" snapped the fickle Irish breeze to the dishevelled new Kheets. "Tou're' full o lies an' I'll have none o' ye!" And the wind doubling about, slapped the paper full in the face of the girl. "I beg your pardon," eald Dexter. "You are quite excusable," she re- tufned brightly, "and I suppose I am properly punisnea lor Mugning at you, You really did look very funny." So did you. when that paper stop ped your iaugn. i minx we re quits. Thank you." he added, aa she hand -ed him the crumpled paper, "but I regally don't are for it. Iet'a drop It "Oh, plevse!" exclaimed the girl. "If you tlon't want it may I have it?" Her eagerness and frankness gave Dexter a new sensation. "Certainly, you are most welcome. ior vou dnnt fear "had twn-i " ti ventured, as he say thit be looked down tha column of death notices. VN-no, not exactly. But I , always look at the death notices. It's a habit, S suppose, or a fad. If you like." Oexter's curiosity was aroused'. "Disappointed agalm Susan?" he heard a. pleasant voice say. and. he turned to see a middle aged woman of plain fe.it ures passing him address Ing the girl. The young woman smiled deprecat Jngly and explained: "A breeze from Cork snatched the paper from ' this frentlemah. I caught it and he has kindly let me keep It." . Mia EtrstHce looked at Dexter. In clining her head. He lifted his cap. "Well, my dear, I do hope you will oon And that namo la the death list, where it belong Can you tell me" (addressing- Dexter) "which 't Daunt s Rock and which Is Klnsaia in In the water and which Is on the coast. - .

"Have you ' known Mr. Bassett long?' asked Miss Wltherell. "I haven't seen you talking to , any one who looks like a financier. . What kind of s nan Is he?" Fve known Bassett a good many years. He is a first rate chap, about sixty years old, a thorough gentleman, but not a society man; apparently "In terested in business; looks more like the president of a bank In Oneonta, N. Y., than a leader of finance; has 'the reputation of never forgetting a favor or an injury. Hello! There he is now, ust back of the steward, who is coming for the tea. things." " The steward hunded Dexter a wire- Jess despatch. Basset passed along thedeck, liftigTiis cap in response to Dexter's ealute. . hTe. young man tore off the end of the envelope aa if Jt were any ordinary business note, opened out the folded sheet deliberately and read: - "Outlook black again.

The signer of the despatch waa Dexter's partner, who was left in chtirge of the great Gulf Coast - and South American Central .merger deal when Dexter, nearly broken by tho strain; of the long struggle, had been ordered abroad by his physician, for cnange and rewt after the partners thought success waa assured. . There had come sudden chanare. however. The money market had tightened and Dexter had been sum moned home in hot baste by cable.

It had tiken him only a moment to read the despatch. Smiling, and with out a trace of emotion, he turned and said lightly: Well, erhaps this wireless business Isn't so bad after all. My getting this Junt at this time .may make coasider- ble difference to several ersons In a few days." At thia moment Bassett approached the froup. . v . . ''Pardon me.

They yielded to bls persua sion finally, however, after another blow from the sea had made the liner reel ominously, and he led Miss Eus tace to the door a few feet away. Then he went bick and brought Suain WKhe-rell to the entrance. The girl stopped at the high board fitted In the doorway to keep out sud den rushes. st water and begged for a last look nt the waves and stars. She held firmly to the hand rail.

Tho tip of the index finger down to the tirst Joint had been Jammed out of shape. The pain excruciating. "Oh. Mr. Dexter!" exclaimed his self-appointed nurse, "you must go right to the doctor. Hold your wrioi firmly like this to keep the blood from hlarh as vou can. If you can t nna the doctor right away get aomo crack ed Ice suid wrap It around the linger tip with your handkerchief. You will do this, won't yiu?" Dexter promlscd- and sought the doctor. "Whv. Suaan. you surprise me! What excuse could I trump up for telling him rhat you call the truth? You are my very dear friend rind I don't want vou or any one else to think of you in any other light. I couldn't poBslbly think of doing what you ask." "Very well, then, I shall tell him myself. Ifhe arks us to o to ine stern to-night to watch - the screws threw the sprny, as he said ho would, miy 1 ask him to take Mr. Bassett alone?" "Certainly; that would be Jolly." eagerly assented Miss Eustace, hop.ng that Bassett's presence would dispel all danger of Sunan'a "telling" Dexter. After dinner Dexter led the way to tie main de- k and bnk to the rail above the screws. He bore good naturedly tho bantering of Bassett and Miss Eustace over hia banuaged finger. ; Baasett found that his chances of talking to Susan about Cleveland were remote, for her manoeuvring had plac ed him with ' Miss Euntaco on one side of the stern post, while R-usan waa ieanlng over the rail with Dexter, iwenty feet awsy on the other side of It. A .Miss tCustace noticed that- not a aord of what the young people said xjuld be 'heard, and she knew why umn had wanted Bassett in the Osrty. They rode high aloft over the top of 4 billow and raxed far down as from i hilltop through clouds of spray that uilmmered In a phonphorescent fire nd glittered In tho moonlight. Then ey Mnk down, down Into the watery tbyaa and looked upward at the foaming creat they had Just iunnount d. wl.He the boiling sea writhed and lickered at sparkled ln lines of a-avering flme almost within the'.r teach. Arter a long alienee Dexter leaned 'jward the fnall girl beside him and aid: . "You will be careful not to lean too far over the rail, won't you?" "Yes, but I am not afraid. I don't llev you would let me go over board." and she amiled up at him "Tou fr.av te sure I vmiM nm She had never ea un expression ike that on his face as he said this. It both atartled and ' attracted her. fhen it recalled her rwl u ti on. "Mr. Dexter," she said, "I want to nake a confession to you. Will you Br nir .' "Why. tiwt certainly. If you wish It-" replied Dexter wonJeringly, wall hi effort to brace himself for any possible shock gave his tone a cold formality that he did not feel. "You are very kind. Well, Ivam not what I eeem." "In what respect? ... "1 am only Miss Eustace' com (anion, her servant, to be perfectly honest; not her friend and equal, as she as we have allowed you to be lieve. She insisted that we should travel in this way and would not lis ten to putting Xand maid' after her tame on the passenger list, and she refused to let any one know the truth so I resolved to tell you myself. I couldn't go on ao any longer." She "poured the words -out In a torrent and when ahe stopped short Dexter asked quietly: "Is that all?" ' . "Ye. That la all." v "Your confession surprises me, of course, but it Is perfectly plain that Miss Eustace is right in one sense, for you are not aervant in the or dinary meaning of the term, and she evidently does not ao regara you Neither shall I, for you will permit me to consider you my friend.; There must be . something back of such a Itua Hon, It would seem, but if you ay there h? not that settles 11. He yearned to pour out hl heart to her at that moment, as he had never lohged to do anything- In his life be fore, but he put a etronp restraint upon himself, and aa he turned and offered her hia hand she felt the chill of his manner without knowing its cause and waturally misinterpreted It. ' "I am happy to have you class me as a friend," she said quietly, taking his hand. - Miss Eustace saw this climax. "Dan't look at them," ahe said to Bassett. "I don't want them to think we are talking about them. - I'm aure that girl has Just spoiled It all." "Why, how ao?" . "They shook hands as solemnly as second cousins at a. funeral and I know she has told him that servant story" which Miss Eustace had Just confided to Bassett. "Sho! That won't make any differ nee to Dexter. "I'm sura he la in love with ner, and when he makes up his mind he wants anything he usual ly gets It, It it Isn't rlvlted down. So Joe Wltherell left her penniless! That eema hard 'to believe. The last I heard of him he was one of the solid men of Cleveland. We - were old friends, but after I came East we drifted apart." . "All we know," said Miss Eustace, "la that her uncle, Silas Wltherell, -ho was administrator of her father's estate, gave out that not a dollar of his brother's supposed wealth could be found. He took Susan, adopted ter and educated her. When she was Just ready to make her 'debut In so Jety two years ago Silas Wltherell told her ahe must marry hia friend, David BonsaU, who is old enough to be her grandfather. She rebelled. HI las Insisted. Bonsall seems to have ome hold on Silas. BonsaU waa Joe WlthereM's partner you remember.

I told her she' could be my companion at so much a year.

Silas Wltherell began going into traction deals about that time. I believe I know a man who can straighten this tangle out. Hello! That looks like a steamer's smoke. Perhaps It's the Oimpanla, If It is there ought to be something doing In the wireless line, though I hate to break up this charming party." The "party" was broken up and Bassett sent this despatch via the Campania: "Wililnm H. Ferrett, attorney, Cleve land, Ohio; "Suopect Silas Wltherell and David ftnnsall consprredtd loot Joseph Witherell estate and for Bonsall's aid and silence Silas promised Mm Joe's' daughter, Susan.

The next day dawned with a hurri cane shrieking through .the steel shrouds of the liner and lashing the sea. Into u fury.' Doors were locked and passengers were not allowed on dec!.. MIks Eustace was 111 and Susan Wltherell remained with her 'in her stateroom. Rarred from the deck. Dexter wandered almlossly through the long passageways. At the end of every one of his turns about the ship he found himself at the door of t!e wireless office gating at the muto In struments. The day dragged its weary length to Its close at last. Morning brought a havy snowstorm and smother nerve racking day. The snow fell In the" next night, and on the morning of the lxth day out from Queenatown and the third nln.ee Bassett and- Dexter . had sent their wireless messages to Wall Street the Runic rln Into another hurricane, more violent than tha first. - Dexter had worked himself Into a state of mind In which he hardly cared whether the liner ever vtot to port or not. The only thlnsr in life hs wanted was s wireless message. Bassett was as placid as an unruffled pool in a forest. In mldafternoon, when the gale was shrieking at its topmost pitchS the two men met at the Inside door of the wireless office. "Well, we'll hardly get anything off this ticker to-Jay," said Bassett. "What's the use of our lining up here?" "Don't be too sure, gentlemen; we may run close enough to the Carman la to get a few messages even In this storm," the operator volunteered. "There comes something now'" he cried a moment later, and he quickly adjusted the telephone headpiece that held a receiver to his ear so that no the faintest buzs would escape him. Tick-tlckety. tick, tick; tlckety tlck. tick; tlckety-ttck." went the In strument. "It, is the Carman la. and a mes sage Is coming!" the operator called out triumphantly. Dexter felt as if every pora In bis body was an ear and was straining to catch every "tick.' " "The message Is for you. Mr. Dex ter," the operator said. "It ought to be all in hortly If we have good luck. No! It's stopped In the ml. I. lie of a sentence. Something must have broken. Here is what has come." and the man tore a sheet from his pad of hlanks-and handed Jt to Dex ter, who ffctuir "Bouiht i. C. and S. A. C. at 50. Sold at 7 5 yefiterday. " To-day, how ever, a slump" "Great God. man! Can't you ! anything to get the rest of this."' cried Dtxter. . "I don't know. I'll send word to the captain." Presently the Captain appeared. "We won't get any more wirel.-s for a time," he said coolly. "The gale has cut your wires from th mast. Mr. Baldwin, as clean as a knife would do it." "Can't the line be replaced at once, captain?" asked Dexter. "I was Jut getting a most Important message." "No, sir. We will have to wait till the wind .goes down. It would ho dangerous to attempt repairs now." "I'll give one thousand dollars to tho man who will do itl" exclatmed Dexter. - "I wouldn't risk tho Hfe of one of my men In this' gale for ten times one thousand-dollars, air!' snapped the captain and walked off. Amid heavy snow the gale ceased the next day, but as tho wind fell the pent up tempest in Dexter's heart rose by leaps and bounds. It reach ed hurricane force late In the after noon. When the sky cleared the passengers were allowed on the snow covered deck and he vatc1611 the men run. new wires up to the mast-head. On the following morning Dexter and Susan stood near the port rail far forward, where the promenada deck, carried over the main deck, formed a small lookout Just large enough for two and protected from the wind and spray by canvas on tha front sides. For a time they wera as gay and happy as children, en joying with zest the exhilaration of dodging below the. canvas to escapa tha torrents of spray that were hurl ed against It when the prow of tha snow-crusted liner . burled Itself deep In the overhanging cliffs of water that seemed ever ready to engulf them. They had tobogganned down one) particularly long mountain side . of see a huge wave lifting its giant top ahead of them. ' - The liner rose gallantly, as usual, toward the Impending height, but tha wave broke over the prow before tha crest was surmounted and the two young people were drenched by tha flood that was hurled upon them de spite their canvas shield. They look ed at each other and tha sight was aa ludicrous that they burst into hearty laughter, Turning Instinctively to see If any one was looking, they saw a steward picking his way over. the deck's coy ering of-ttnow. "Miss . Witherell." said Dexter, be coming suddenly serious, "before that fellow reaches us I want to say something. I'm afraid he Is coming; from Miss Eustave to call you in." Susan's answer was a quick glance of -grave expectancy. "First, I want (a tell you that evert If my manner toward you has seemed altered since you told ma about your relations with Ml.w Eustice, Jt has not been due to any change in my regard for you. The contrary Is the case. I have been greatly troubled by bus iness matters and they have been In volved with the very thing I want to talk to you about." i urn giaa my story nas not cnang ed you," she said simply. "I hope your business affairs' have ceased to longer worry you." "They do not, but not because they are any better. It was this fact that decided me to speak to you." Hit manner , left no doubt In Su san's mind as to the nature of what he was goln to sav. "Miss Wltherell." he began, "I" The crunrhlrvy-frf-the steward's feet In the snow grated harshly on Dex ter's ear. But he and Susan turned at the sojind.and aaw two envelopes In the man's extended hand. "Beg pardon," he said. "Dlspateh ea One for Miss Witherell, one for Mr. Dexter." They tore open their envelopes ex citedly and plunged into the text without noting the inside addresses. This Is what they read: Dexter: Uncle confessed. Turned over 1500,000, your father's estate. BonsaU died heart attack few min utes after accused of plot. I hold money for you. Have Informed Baa sett. FERRETT. Susan: Both deals success. Profit 22.000,000. All cleared up. Bassett crown jumped in at the slump. Bought without limit Got out at top. tAWSON "Why, this Is for you!" they both cried simultaneously and exchanged messages. '"They put the dispatches In the. wrong envelopes," said Dexter with out taking a glance at his own paper. "I congratulate you , with all my, heart," extending his hand. "And I you!" fcju&an exclaimed, Joy, ously, returning his grasp warmly. "It's splendid, but I don't see why -you congratulate m Why don't you read your dispatch?" The liner gave a great lurch and stagger. They bad not noticed a bi oncoming wave. Dexter seized tu san to keep her from falling. Ha drew her close to him and they d.H ed behind the canvas, but not In timo to escape the shower of spray, which drenched them anew and soaked thelt telegrams. "Weil read them together,' Doxt3i whispered. He kept his arm about her. They spelled out the words on the dripping dispatches. As they finished si. turned In his arms, yielded gentty to his embrace and looked- up al him with unspeakable happiness in her. eyes. He could not tell whether it was spray -or tears that Kllstenid on her lashes and Jewed hr gl-wui cheeks. "Bless you, my SarU-i fh!'drs! Bless you!" they heard Bassett's voice shouting cheerily.
