EGBERT ! j J ... . =it ! 1 (© by W. G. Chapman.> , had bee& sare that It I -y "’as Margery the moment he X. > se t eyes on her on board the transatlantic liner. But, not having seen her for seven years, he 1 did not know whether she v°uid rec ognize him. It is easy to play hide-and-seek on an Atlantic steamship. During the first four days lid only caught fugitive glimpses of the girl; then, on the fifth, they came face to face upon the deck. And lie saw that she knew him. “Margery!” he exclaimed, and stood looking at her dumbly. She was hard ly changed, except for a more wom anly figure and a certain wisfulness of expression which had not been there in the old days in London, j How long ago that was! The same thought occurred to both of them. What happy days those had been, un der the elms in Kensington Gardens up the river, when the world waa young and life seemed to stretch away eternally. They sat down side by side. “Tell me what you have been doing,” said -Margery, and, at her words, the years fell away and they were young once more. It was a frank story he told. Their quarrel, the upheaval of his life that followed had brought him no good. He had drifted upon the stream, he had ; awakened to the consciousness that 1h was becoming a worse man than lm had been; then he had pulled himsell i together and faced life bravely. Now i he was returning from London on a 1 mission for the firm which employed him, connected with the sale of war supplies. What he did not tell her was that it was her memory which had pulled him back from the brink when he was up on the verge of plungihg downward, i “And you?” he questioned, hungrily. I “I am married,” she answered, and there was a long silence. Presently: “You never married?” “No, Margery.” After awhile: “Are you happy?” he inquired. He saw the tears come into her eyes. J It seemed so natural that she should sit there and tell him about It. They i had always perfectly understood each ? ! other’s hearts. She had married, four , years ago, a man who had treated her badly. She had left him and gone to ! England —but he had pleaded with her to return to him, and she was going back to America, because she felt that her duty lay there. _ They parted with averted faces, be cause each knew that at a word the other would follow —follow, to the ; world’s end. And the night of the fifth day came. Gardiner slept through a confused dream of cannonade, and awakened to hear cries and stamping upon the deck above him. Women were screaming in fear. He thought the ship had struck an uncharted rock and was sinking. He was glad tills was the end. He lay still in his berth. The cries died away, and he heard the splashing of the lifeboats in the water. Then, with a shriek, something struck the vessel with a shock that made her shiver from stern to bow. Again and again. And now Gardiner 1 understood. A night attack must have been made by a German cruiser; she had given the liner time to get her passengers into the boats and was now sinking her. The thought of Margery in an open boat at sea came to the man like a blow in the face. He leaped out of his berth, flung on his clothes and rushed up on the deck. He saw Margery. She was standing at his side, under the stars, on *a deserted ship, now settling into the water, which bulked around them, a great gray waste, a primal wilderness. As they stood there a searchlight swept out of the night and enveloped them, and once more came the shriek of a shell, dropping into the water near them. Then the cruiser, evident ly satisfied with the result of her work, sailed away; the twinkling lights dis appeared. Flames and smoke were shooting up ward out of the stern, but here, to ward the bow, they were safe for the moment. But the ship was settling down! ’ “Why didn’t you go?” demanded Gardiner fiercely. n “I watched for you,” she answered. “I looked and you were not in any of the boats. They tried to put me aboard, but I escaped. Did you think I would go without you?” And suddenly she was in his arms, clinging to him, and their lips met foi the first time in seven years. It was a miracle of joy to both of them, being together there, the only human beings in that little world of smoking planks and steel that was slowly settling be neath the water. I “Dear,” said Margery, “I want to tell you now that I have always loved you, and only you.” “And I you, Margery,” he answered. And they forgot their peril, and the approach of death, and, side by side, their arms about * each other, they watched the hissing fight of fire and water until the water won. The submerged stern blazed no ! longer. Only the sea threatened them ( now. But the deck was getting lower, j ' and the bow uptilting, and, anxious j. . only to prolong those moments of Imp- I piness that had come back out of the past, too late, they sought the upper j fridge. , Silently they sat felYerey watching th© slow, up-creeping of the water. Over the horizon a faint light was creeping, and slowly dawn hung out her flaming banners‘in the sky. A drizzling rain began, ami, forget ting that in .a little while they would be struggling in the waters, they moved within the shelter of the little room that had. been •ccnpied by the wireless telegrapher. There they crouched together. “If we could live ©w lives over again r* said; Gardiner. “1 never knew how sweet life was meant to be.” “We would! bo wiser, dear,” an swered Margery. Mechanical 1> sh* turned over the papers- heaped upon the little table, representing messages received for many on board, but not delivered. Gardiner stared! out into the sea.' It seemed Impossible that the ship could remain afloat more than balf an hour longer. “Margery,” he said, “1 believe there will be a chance for us. I am going to throw tlxis table overboard when the end comes, and we will spring to gether. It will keep us afloat until — until some possible rescue. And, if we live, you will come with me. You shall be mine forever, dear, and we will start our new life in a new world.” “Yes, I will come with you,” she an swered mechanically. Her face was very pale. Gardiner looked at her; he was surprised at her ready acquies cence; he had expected that the pas sion which swept him off his feet would at least be met by the plea of duty. There was no shrinking in Margery's mind. “I will come with you, to the world’s end,” she answered, slipping her hand in his. He strode out on the tilted deck, and, clinging to the rail, peered sea ward, where the ball of the sun was springing into the sky. Back against it rode a tiny craft. “Margery J” he slioutei, drawing her to the rail. It carried the hope of life. And the minutes passed and they stayed there, watching the ship grow larger. The Vessel-had been sighted, and, though/ the stranger could not know that there were living beings aboard this dere lict, she was pushing hard toward them for investigation. Half an hour had passed. The ves sel was now plainly to be seen. She was a British cruiser. It was a furi ous race between her and the sea. Clinging to the rail, Gardiner felt the deck at an angle of 60 degrees beneath him. The ship was trembling, precur sor of the final plunge under the waves. But life was looking at them again, and the war vessel was very near. lie tore his coat from his back and waved it frantically. The cruiser was now less than a mile away. Suddenly a boat shot forth from her side. And the last minutes of the fight were never clear in the man's mind, so close was the finish. But he seemed to remember that, as the ship strained and heaved, and gathered herself for destruction, they slid down the up raised side into the boat that lay be neath, manned by a dozen sturdy blue jackets. There came the hard ply of oars to escape the dreadful vortex, and suddenly where the liner had been was only a great swirl of bubbling water. * Half an hour later the two sat side by side upon the warship’s decks. Cardin r v.\;s studying his companion’s face. Would she regret? Would she change? Would life alter her willing ness to go with him, while her hus band lived? lie knew that, as she had drawn him, so she had the power to semi him out into life, hopeless. Margery turned toward him and slipped a paper into his hand. “Read that,” she said. “I found it in the wireless room.” Gardiner read: “Your husband died last night.” Watercress Pipe Food, According to Doctor Has the common watercress some real value as a food and a medicine? Evidently the answer is yes, to judge from investigations made recently by Dr. S. Monckton Crompton of London. He has experimented with both ani mals and humans. The ages of the human subjects varied widely; in all cases they gained in weight, improved in appe tite, tlieir skin became much more healthful, and constipation, if it ex isted, was entirely removed. Doctor Monckton also studied the cress itself to discover the chemical basis for its dietary virtues, and found that the residue from the extracted juices of the plant gave marked reactions with all the test solutions for alkaloids; A glucose present In the form of potas sium salt was first isolated. He found also that watercress contains the three vitamines, A, B and C, together with salts of potash and iron, in addi tion to a considerable quantity of io dine. Curious Way to Pump It is said that an English inventor has constructed a pump without cyl inders or buckets that will lift a thousand gallons of water an hour from a depth of 300 feet even when worked by hanu.- It consists simply of a spiral spring belt, a grooved weight that turns with the bottom, loop of the belt and holds the belt in place, and a driving crank and pulley for turning the belt. The coil-like cable is carried down to any depth by the grooved weight. The water is held in the meshes of the spiral spring by capil lary attraction as it is drawn up, and discharged only when the coils turn over at the top. One authority has called the improved pump “a m©. chanical impertinence.” TMP PEf’Oqp * Ju lW U ls.
