ATIjANTIC CITV, July 22. Although ft
portion of the venom put In the waves by
tho southern hurrlcano has been taken out,
old ocean still Itnq a ponderous kick In It
and the tides continue far above normal.
Comparatively little proporty damage was
caused here by this freak storm. The
channel buoys have not yet been placed In
position, but ns few vessels will attempt
to make this port until the sea has quieted,
their absence will not cause any trouble.
Ilathlng was resumed yesterday, and from
now on tho water will be black with people
for tho rest of the summer. Thero are no
largo holes at Any point on the beach and
tho gradual shelving of the sands to deep
water will mako It even safer here this year
than It ever has been before.
Many of the feminine visitors have been
Just a little peeved by the weather dis
turbances of the last few daya, as It pre
vented them from showing new 'frocks and
gowns, fashioned expressly for the summer
promenade, and which they desired to ex
hibit before the August crush came. Dur
ing that period people are too busy with
pleasure to watch for new coBtumes, and
even dazzling garments fall to create any
enthusiasm.
From now on the midnight parade, last
ing from 12 until after 2 a. m will be a
gay feature of this resort. Many visitors
here curtail their sleeping hours to tho
smallest possible number they can, with
safety, going to bed lato nnd arising nt nn
early hour.
The Sunday nmusement question Is In a
fair way of being settled nmlcably. Yester
day nftornoon the owners of Certain places,
who had been nrrested for keeping open on
two Sundays appeared before the lie
corder. Insftead of being fined heavily, as
It vna rumored they would be, sentences
were suspended nnd they were gently ad.
monlshcd not to keep open tomorrow. It
Is almost certain that a few of the places
will close tholr doors tomorrow, awaltlngi
developments In n case that has caused a
lot of talk becauso of the seeming favorit

will be made to settle the matter In a man

CIIAPTRR VII (Continued).
HAD ono been watching him ho might
reasonably hac thought that tho man's
mind was In a muddto of confused thoughts
nnd fears, hut such was far from the case.
Billy was waltlnc to see If tho mnto would
revive sufficiently to return ncross tho deck
heforo the next wave swept tho nhlp. It was
vory Interesting he wondered what odds
O'Leary would have laid against tho man.
In another moment tho wavo would come.
Billy glanced at tho open cabin hatch. That
would never do the cabin would bo flooded
with tons of water Rhould the noxt wave
llnd tho hatch still open. Billy closed It.
Then he looked again nt Therlere. The
man was Just recovering consciousness
nnd tho wavo waa coming
Something stirred within Billy Byrne. It
gripped him nnd made him net quickly, ns
though by Instinct, to do something that no
one Billy 1ilmelt least or nil would have
suspected the Grand avenue mucker to bo
capable of dlng
Across the deck Therlere wns dragging
himself painfully to his hands and knees, as
though to attempt tho Impossible feat of
crawling back to the cabin hatch.
Tho wavo was almost upon Billy. In a
moment It would engulf him and then rush
on ncross him to tear Therlere from tho
deck and hurl him beyond the ship Into tho
tumbling chaos of tho sea
Tho mucker saw nil this, nnd In the In
stant he launched himself toward tho man
for whom he had no use, whose kind he
hated reached him as the great wave
broko over them, crushing them to the deck,
choking and blinding them.
For a moment they were burled In the
swirling maelstrom, and then, ns the Half
moon rose again, shaking the watery enemy
from her back, the two men wero disclosed
Therlere half over the ship's side, the
mucker clinging to him with one hand, the
other clutching desperately at a huge cleat
upon the gunwale.
Byrne dragged the mate to tho deck and
then slowly and with Infinite difficulty
ncross It to the cabin hatch. Through It he
pushed the man, tumbling after him and
closing the aperture Just as another wave
swept the Halfmoon.
Therlere wns conscious and but little the
worse for his experience, though badly
bruised. He looked at the mucker In aston
ishment as the two faced one another In
the cabin.
"I do not know why you did it," said
Therlere.
"Neither do I," replied Billy Byrne.
"I Bhall not forget it, Byrne," said tho
officer.
"Yeh'd better," answered Billy, turning
away.
The mucker was extremely puzzled to
account for his act. He did not look upon
It at all as a piece of heroism; but rather
as a "fool play" which he should be
ashamed of.
The very Idea! Saving th Ufa of a gink
who, despite his brutal ways, belonged to
the much despised "high-brow" class I
Billy was peeved with himself.
Therlere, for his part, was surprised at

the unexpected heroism of the man he had
long since rated as a cowardly bully. He
was fully determined to repay Byrne so far
as he could the great debt he owed him.
All thoughts of revenge for the mucker's
former assault upon him were dropped, nnd
he now looked upon the ,mnn as a true
friend and nlly.
For three days tho llnlfmoon plunged
helplessly upon tho Btorm-rnckcd surfaco of
the mad sea. No soul aboard her enter
tained more than tho faintest glimmer of a
hope that the ship would ride out the storm;
but during the third night tho wind died
down, nnd by morning the sea had fallen
sufficiently to make It safe for the men of
the Halfmoon to venture upon deck.
Thero they found the brlgantlne clean
swept from stem to Btern. To the north of
them was land nt a league or two, perhaps.
Had tho storm continued during the night
they would have been dashed upon the
coast.
God-fearing men would have given thanks
for their miraculous rescue! hut not so
these. Instead, tho fear of death removed,
they assumed their former bravado.
Skipper Slmms boasted of the seamanship
that had saved the Halfmoon his own sea
mtnshlp, of course. Ward cursed tho luck
that had disabled the ship at so crucial a
period of her adventure, revolving In his
evil mind various possible schemes, for turn
ing the misfortune to his own advantage.
Billy Byrne, sitting upon the corner of
the galley table, hobnobbed with Blnnco.
These choice representatives of the ship's
company were planning a raid on the skip
per'B brandy chest during the disembarka
tion which the sight of land had rendered
not Improbable.
Tho Halfmoon, with the wind down, wal
lowed heavily In tho trough of the sea. but
even so Ilnrbara Hnrdlng, wearied with
days of confinement In her stuffy cabin
bolow, -entured abovo deck for a breath of
Bwcet, clean air.
Scarce had Bho emerged from below than
Therlero espied her and hastoncdto her
side.
"Well, Miss Harding." ho exclaimed, "It
Is good to see you on deck ngaln. I cannot
tell .vou how sorry I have felt for you.
cooped up alone In your cabin without a
single woman for companionship, nnd all
thoso frightful daya of danger. There wna
scarco one of us that thought the ship
would weather so long nnd hard a blow.
Wo were very fortunate to como through It
so well."
"Wcll7" queried Barbara Harding with a
wry smllo, glancing about the deck of the
llnlfmoon. "I cannot see that wo nre either
through It well or through It at all. Wo
havo no masts, no canvns, no boats! and
though I am not much of a sailor, I can
ee that there Is llttlo likelihood of our
'effecting n landing on tho Bhore nhead
cither with or without boats It looks moSt
forbidding.
"Then tho wind has gone down, and when
It comes up ngaln It Is possible that It will
carry us away from tho land, or If It takes
us toward It. dnsh us to pieces at tho foot
of those frightful cliffs."
"I see you nro too good a sailor by far
to be cheered by any questionable hopes,"
laughed Therlero; "but you must take the
will Into consideration I wished only to
give you a ray of hope that might lighten
your burden of npprehenslon.
"However, honestly I do think that we
may find n way to mako a sfcfo landing If
tho sea continues to go down as It has In
tho last two hours. We nro not much more
than a leaguo from shore, and with the Jury
mast and sail that the men are sotting up
under Mr. Ward we can work In In com
parative safety wlth-a light breeze, which
wo should hnvo during tho afternoon. There
nro few coasts, however rugged they may
appear at a distance, that do not offer some
foothold for the wrecked mariner, and I
doubt not but that wo Bhall find this no
exception to tho rule."
"I hope you are right, Mr. Therlere," snld
tho girl, "and yet I cannot hut feci that my
position will bo less safe on land than It
has been upon the HnlTmoon. Onco free
from the restraints of discipline which tra
dition, custom nnd law enforce upon tho
high seas, there li no telling what atrocities
theso men will commit. To he quite candid..
Mr. Therlere, I dread a landing worse than
I dreaded the dangers of the storm through
which wo have Just passed."
"I think you havo little to fear on that
score. Miss Harding." said the Frenchman.
"I Intend mnklng it quite plain that I con
sider myself your protector once we havo
left the Halfmoon, and I can oount on
several of the men to help me. Even Mr.
Dlvlno will not dare do otherwise. Then
we can set up a camp of our own apart
from Skipper Slmms and his faction, and
there you will be constantly guarded until
succor may be obtained."
Barbara Harding had been watching the
man's face as ho spoke. Tho memory of
his consideration and respectful treatment
of her during the trying weeks of her
captivity had done muoh to erase the
Intuitive feeling of distrust that had tinged
her thoughts of him earlier In their ac
quaintance, while his herolo act In descend
ing Into the forecastle In the face of the
armed and desperate Byrne had thrown a
glamour of romance about him that could
not help but tend to fascinate a girl of
Barbara Harding's type.
Then there was the look she had seen
In his eyeB for a brief Instant when she
had found herself locked In his cabin on
the occasion when he had revealed to her
Larry Divine's duplicity. That expression
no red-blooded girl could mistake, and the
fact that he had subdued his passion spoke
eloquently to her of the fineness and
chivalry of his nature.
It was with a feeling of utter trustful
ness, therefore, that she gladly gave her
self Into the keeping of Henri Therlere,
Count de Cadenet, second officer of the
Halfmoon.
"Oh. Mr. Therlere," she cried, "If you
can only arrange It so, how relieved and
almost happy I shall bel How can I ever
repay you for all that you have done for
me?"
Again she saw the light leap to the man's
eyes the light of love that would not be

denied much longer, other than through
the agency of a mighty will.
Iie she thought It; but the eyellghts
of lote and lust nro twins between which
It takes much worldly wisdom to differ
entiate, und Barbara Harding wns not
worldly wise In the wnya of sin.
"Mlsi Hnrdlng." said Therlere, In a voice
that he eldently found It difficult to con
trol, "do not ask me now how you may
repay mo ; I " . . , ,
But what he woutd have said he checked.
With an effort of will that wns almost
appreciable to the eye, he took a fresh
gtlp upon himself and continued:
"I am amply repaid by being able to
scre you. and thus to retrieve mself In
vour estimation I know that jou haye
doubted me: that yr-u have questioned the
Integrity of my acts that helped tolad
up to the unfortunate affair of the Uitus.
When you tell me that you no longer doubt
that yott accept me as the friend I would
wish to be. I shall be more than amply
repaid for anything which It may havo
been my good fortune to have been able
to nccotiipllsli for your comfort and safety."
Then I may partially repay you at
once," exclaimed tho girl with a smile, "for
I ran assure you that yott possess my
friendship to tho fullest, and with It. of
roure. mv entire confidence. It Is true that
I doubted you at' llrst I doubted every
one connected wlh the Halfmoon Why
shouldn't I? Bui now I think that I am
able to draw a very clear line between my
friends and my enemies. Thero Is but one
tilir.n tho right side of that line you, my
friend" and with an ImpultlNO little gesturo
llarbara Harding extended her hnnd to
Therlere. . , , ,
II uns an expression nlmost sheepish
that the Frenchman looked nt the proffered
ringers There had bieti something In tho
fm tits avowal of confidence and friendship
which smoto upon a chord of honor In the
man's bouI thnt had not vibrated In icsponso
to a chivalrous Impulse for manv long
vears It had all but atrophied from disuse.
" Then of a sudden, the second officer of
the llnlfmoon straightened to his full
height. HIb head went high, nnd ho took
tho small hand of tho girl In his own
strong, brown one.
Miss Hnrdlng," he said. "I have led a
hiird. hitler life. I have not always dono
thoso things of which I might bo most
proud; but thero havo been times when I
havo remembered that I am tho grandson
of one of Nnpoleon's greatest field mnr
nhnls, nnd that I bear a name that has
been honored by a mighty nation. Whnt
jou have Just said to me recalls these facts
most vividly to my mind hope, Miss Hard
ing, that you will never regret having
spoken them." To the bottom of his heart
tho mnn meant what he, said at the time;
for Inherent chivalry Is as difficult to sup
press or Uproot ns la iiincrciii. . iti-juaui-us.
The girl let her hand rest In his for a
moment, and as their eyes met Bhe saw In
hln a truth and honcBty and cleanness
which revealed what Therlere might have
been had fate ordained his young man
hood to different channels. And In that,
moment a question sprnng, nil unbidden
and unforeseen to her mind; a question
which caused her to withdraw her hand
quickly from his. nnd which sent a slow
crimson to her cheek.
Billy Byrne, slouching by, cast a bitter
look of hatred upon tho two.
Tho fact that ho hod saved Therlere's
life had not Increased his love for that gen
tlemnn. Ho was still much puzzled to ac
count for the ntrango Idiocy that had
prompted. him to that act; and two of his
fellows had felt tho weight of his mighty
fist when they had spoken words of rough
prnlso for his heroism.
Billy had thought that they wcro kidding
him.
To Billy the knocking out of Therlere and
the subsequent kick which ho had planted
In the unconscious man's fnco wcro true
Indications of manliness. He gauged such
matters by standards purely Grand Ave
nuesque. Now It enraged him to see that the girl
before whose very eyes he had demon
strated his superiority over Therlere should
still look with favor upon tho officer.
Then the mucker, unseen by tho officers,
approached the girl. In his heart were rage
and hatred, and as the girl turned at tho

INSTAftTI,Y Barbara Harding looked Into
tho face of the mucker she read her dan
ger. Why tho man should hate her bo Bhe
could not Rtiefts; but that he did was evi
denced by the malevolent expression of his
surly countenance.
For n moment he stood glaring at her,
nnd then he ppoko.
"I'm wise to wot youso nn' dat guy tras

here to tell youso dat you don't wantA try

here words failed Billy.
To hla surprise tbs girl showed not tho
slightest Indication of fear. Her bend was
high, and her level gaze never wavered
from his own eyes
Presently a sneer of contempt curled her
lip.
"You coward."' she said quietly. "To In
sult and threaten a woman! You aro
nothing but an Insufferable bully and cow
ardly murdTer. You murdered a man on
tho Iritis whose little finger held moro true
manhood, bravery nnd worth than the

and contempt that ft real mfth--a. kentle

As she spoke Billy's eyes narrowed but
not with the cunning of premeditated at
tack He was thinking.
For the first time In his life he vim
thinking of how hi appeared In the eyes of
another. Never had any human being lot
Billy Byrne thus coolly and succinctly what
sort of person he seemed to them.
Though the mucker thought that he still
hated her, the realization came to him that
he must not raise a had against her that
for tho life of him he could not, nor ever
agnln against any other woman.
Why this change Billy did not knots' J he
simply knew that It waa so. With a grunt
he turned his kack upon her and walked
away.
A slight breeze had risen from tho south
west since Therlero had left Barbara
Harding, nnd now all hands were busily
engaged In completing the jury rigging
that the Halfmoon might take advantage
of the wind and make the shore that rose
abruptly from the bosom bf the ocean
three miles away.
Before the work was completed the wind
Increased rapidly, so that when the tiny
bit of canvas was hoisted Into position It
bellied brnvely, and the Halfmoon moved
heavily forward toward tho land,
"We gotta mnke a mighty quick run ot
It," said Skipper Slmms to Squlnt-Eya
Ward, "or we'Jl go to pieces on them rocks
afore ever we find a landing."
That wo will If this wind rises much
more," replied Ward: "and s far as I can
see, there ain't no more chance to make a
landing there than there .would be on the
side ot a house."
And Indeed, ns the Halfmoon ncared the
towering cliffs It seemed utterly hopeless
that anything but a fly could find a toot
hold upon that sheer and rocky face which
rose abruptly from the ocean's surface.
The crew stood huddled and cursing along
tho starboard side nenr the bow. All that
could be done two sailors were doing at
the wheel under theeprofane direction of
Skipper Slmms, while Ward nnd Therlere,
with a handful of others, altered the
meager aall from time to time In an effort
to keep the ship oft the rocks for a few
moments longer. ,
