Of MORE tnan usual importance to those of us who know her and have enjoyed her friendship, as well as to the city In general, Is the testimonial of re tpect in the form of a breakfast which is given today to Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson at the Bellevue-Stratford by a chosen commit tee of men and women representing tho greatest numbsr of cluba and societies 1 believe any one woman has ever be. ' longed to. Not only belonged to. I should lay, but who has been and Is tho Insplra tlon of them all still. The luncheon Is given ns an apprecia tion of Mrs. Stevenson's long-continued activities In this city In civics, charity and war relief work, in archeologlcal re search, museum organization and man agement, in literary tasks and the pro motion of tho city's Intellectual and social life. And I may add It has not .been the mere lending of her name which In Itself would have given weight to tnany of these activities, but the actual giving of heisolf, her time, her experl. ence and her own delightful personality ' which makes her tho valued friend and adviser of so many. The breakfast is being given under the auspices of a special committee of those who have been associated with Mrs. Stevenson in these activities, which I shall proceed to name: Acorn Club, Civic Club, Contemporary Club, Emergency Aid, French War llellef Committee, Pennsylvania Women's Dlvl lion for National Preparedness (now merged with the Red Cross), Public Ledger Company. Art Alliance, American Philosophical Society, Pennsylvania Mu teum and School of Industrial Art, Arche ologieal Museum of the University of Pennsylvania, Oriental Club of Philadel phia, American Oriental Society and the Archeologlcal'lnstltute of America. The men and-women who form the com mittee Include Mrs. Matthew Balrd, Mrs. Edward W. Blddle, Mr. Samuel T. Bodlne, Mrs. A. J. Caisatt, Mrs. J. Gardner Cas litt, Dr. Albert T. Clay, Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Dr. William Henry Furness. Dr. Morris Jastrow, Dr. William W. Keen, Mrs. Arthur H. Lea, Mrs. Joseph Leldy, v Mrs. J. Willis Martin, Mr. Leslie W. Mil ler, Mr. Harrison S. Morris, Mr. Roland 6. Morris, Mrs. W. Yorke Stevenson. Mrs. Talcott Williams and Dr. W. Powelt Wil ton. Last year Mrs. Stevenson was decorated by the, French Government, being made an officer of public instruction. She re J celved this honor, as a w-lter and advo 'cate of the French people and of their cause through the columns of the Public ledger. , A great many persons accepted the In vitation for today's luncheon, which was certainly a splendid tribute to the charm ing recipient. WHAT a good time Hope Allen has had t during her stay here. J presume she and hjr mother, -Mrs. Benjamin Allen, came on from the Wept to be present prl 1 marlly at Bessie Downs's wedding, and Incidentally attended the weddings of . t Jforton and McKean Down?, for they got "married, too, last week, you will remem- , ber. Mrs. Allen-is a sister or sirs, uowns, you know. She was Maria McKean, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McKean and sister of Tom and Harry McKean.

It eure is. well to make hay While the sun shines in the matter of dince partners, for the time Is 'coming when members of the Troop and regi ments -'will be "somewhere with the army," as I suppose It will be given out, and there won't be any partners for our little maids.

"Yes; Mr. Seeley thought It safof, fearing otherwise a dlscoery of my presence by the steward." She hesitated, and I hoped was about to make some further explanation, but instead asked: "Are you sure Mr. Carrlngton made his escape?" "As certain as I can be. I did not see him after I left the party in the after-cabin last evening. But McCann insists that ho came on deck and Joined tho othets In lowering the boats. Beyond doubt he got away safely and was picked up by tho liner." "Who were the dead men in the cabin and on deck?" "The steward and two passengers Fos dlck and a banker whose name I hae for gotten Most of the crew must hae per ished forward." She was silonffor some time, her gaze on the man sleeping In the bows He rolled oer, reeallng his face, gray and haggard In the dawn Who who is that man?" sho questioned "You call him McCann: l ho a sailor?" "No; he was one of the guests. I mej. him a year or so ago, and he seemed to bo a good fellow among the croud he was accustomed to, but I Judge Is going to maku a mighty poor hand at this sort of aden ture. He la a rich man's son, who occa sionally takes a ftyer on Wall street." "Xot not Fergus McCann?" "I believe that is his name, now that you recall it.

"He will be crlppltd for life : of course, his assailant may not have been entirely to blame It was a drunken quarrel over a W "Weli " I said quietly, "the man Is In for a'lob of sailor work here, whether It pleases him or not.

I shall need McCann to help me rig up a Jury mast: then we can sail some set course Sit down here beside me and see how you get along. That's it: all that Is needed Is to keep the bow to the surges good, you are doing fine!" I watched her for some minutes, finding little to criticize, but fascinated by the clrl's bright face and the picture she pre. Rented outlined against the dull gray of the sky. Her disheveled hair was blown back and her eyes sparkled as she leaned hard on the sieenru, . "Do you think ycu can hold her all right Si." ,, i ran." almost Indignantly. "Really.

I cannot say that McCann was partlcu larly pleaeant sabout It ; he had a way of showing that he rather resented any assump tion of authority, and Performed what I ordered with a deliberation which was al most insolent. However, he made no open Svolt and I thought it best not to anger Si man unnecessarily. No dbubt he was hrulsed by his accident on the yacht, and stiff and sore from his night in the boat, and would feel In better humor later in the SSv We worked steadily for an hour, the fellow proving virtually useless, except to nd me the article required or to throw his weht on a rope's end.

It was a tare sea picture the Jagged cloud masses high above, somber and dark, as suming grotesque form ; nnd benenth, tho restless waters, each wave crested with white foam, inndered more conspicuous by the dark hollows One moment our boat was down In the shadow walled in by green tldgcs, the next flung high on the creamy crest and flooded with sunllnht Yet our draining uyes caught nowhere a signal of life or hope, no gleam of distant sail no black shadow of smoke We were alono In tho drear waste of water, with not even a speeding seagull to break the dull vista or waning re.i and sky I forced mvsclf to turn away from tho grim fascination, back to the boat In which wo floated McCann had sunk down ab-ift the Jury mast, and rested thero hinging over tho side, staring moodily down Into the green water His heavy face exhibited no Interest and looked almoAt brutal In the garish light Iord, how tho appearance of the man had changed Could this be tho same fellojv I had played cards with on tho. quarterdeck of the KsmeraljU only two days before? Why then he had been the life of the company, full of humor, a bit rough In speech to be sute. nnd di Inking more than was necessary et apparently a good fel low Hut now why ho actually had the aspect of a brute; aye. and likewise the manners of one A tdngle night of danger and exposure had sufficed to brlfic to tho surface his true character, had stripped off the veneer, and proved him a bullying coward, Inefficient, and unwilling I felt my teeth close tightly as I looked at him, but relief came when I turned toward the girl seated near me She was gazing out at the weird sea scene spread about us unconscious of all else, her eyes wide open with tho Joy of It, hor face glowing with eager appreciation She must hav,e felt tho Intcntness with which I regarded her for sho turned suddenly, a flush sweeping her cheeks "Isn't It wonderful. Mr. Hollls, tho way those clouds and waves blend yonder, such a marvelorts massing o.' colors? Oh, there Is no beauty like the sea'" "But alwAiya a cruelty In its beauty, like that of a tiger cat." I answered "Per haps wn had better breakfast. Miss Vera ; let me seo your bag of biscuits by day light." Sho brought them forth, together with the Jug. A little Bea water had seeped Into tho bag, and the outer layers were more or less mildewed, yet enough remained sweet and wholesome to glvo me hope of their sustaining us until wo should bo picked up by some passing vessel The water Jug, however, was only half-filled and must be sparingly used "Wo will go on short rations." I an nounced, breaking a biscuit with my knife, 'Just enough to keep us from starving. Here, McCann, Is your portion." He reached out nnd took what I handed hlmr then gavo utterance to a curse. "My God ! do you mean I am to break fast on this half biscuit?'' he exclaimed angrily. "On that or on none at all," I aiiswcred, eying him sternly "You haven't done so much work as to earn double rations. I give you the same as I take myself. All we have Is what Is In this bag, and heaven knows when we shall meet ti ship." "Ship, hell ! We aro not far from Long Island." ' "Two hundred miles nt least, and with this Jury rig we should have to mako some wide tacks on that course. We are scarcely doing three knots an hour with the wind as It Is, and a much heavier blow would strip us clean. Tako what I give you, man, and )e decent ahout it." He grumbled bomethlng' regarding his belief that I was keeping most of tho food for myself, hut I broke In, determined to end the discussion: "That's enough talk. Dat your half biscuit the same as we do, and -be thankful you have got that; and when you come to the water, one swallow each will bo all we are entitled to. You hear me?" "Yes, I hear you; but who the hell are you?C "The only seaman on board, McCann, and the life of this young lady, as weli as your own, depends on my Judgment. I am not seeking trouble with you, but you will obey my orders while we are afloat here, or take the consequences. That half biscuit Is your ration; eat it or leave It. as ycu please, but you'll cut out the profanity, and I'll not warn you again." He was too great a cownrd to force the Issue and fell to munching his biscuit, one hand gripping the gunwale as though he wished my throat was between his fingers. I cared little what ho thought, although I realized his nature by now sufficiently to understand that he would accept the first opportunity to get the advantage of me. It was treachery I had to guard against, however, and not a fair fight. As -I nib bled at my own small portion, watchful of. his movements, and thinking of how best to keep the fellow at a safe distance, the girl leaned toward me and whispered a word tn my ear. "He has. a revolver.". ''Are you sure of that?" I questioned cautiously, in surprise. "Yes, I saw the but in his pocket, while he lay asleep In the bow. You will be careful, Mr, Hollls?" "You need have no fear for me." I an svvered reassuringly, and ventured to touch, her hand where H rested' on the thwart K.tn-een ur. "I have been a bucko mate. my lady, and learned bow to hanalehla kind. If he ever.drawa ' aun'oi,"Mst A.i?l ..O' .. l-t'l. 'v A tflBnsM&m& Fmm t :$& KVOAJ X m, V ' 'FuuEtsr?' Company rterrlnted by apclil rrnBfmenU nlong, as we stared out dull eyed on the raine vista of sea nnd sky. Twice we thought we caught tho gleam of a sail over tho tumbled waters, only to discover the cbJcU to be n floating cloud, Onco smoke became visible -to the southeast, a thin wisp, barely showing against the distant blue; but the steamship passed us unseen below tho horizon McCann, so far as I observed, never so much ns glanced in our direction, but faced forwnrd He found a package of cigarettes tn his coat pocket,, and smoked two without offering any to me. Flnnlly he lay down In the bottom of the boat, tossing about restlessly for a while, but, at last, falling nsleep. The girl and I talked, avoiding as much ns possible nil reference to our situation and the fate of the yacht, our conversation drifting here and there In a way I learned much about her, little hints of disposition, likes and dislikes, as well as experiences in life, yet nothing was ald which revealed her Identity rr helped to solve the mystery of her presence on board tho lmeralda. I could not feel that she purposely concealed these things, yet nothing led to an explana tion, nnd I rather avoided the subject through fcarof offending her I did learn, however, that her mind was bright and original, her 'nnguago evidencing education, while her reminiscences proved that she had traveled widely and seen much of social life. We spoke of books, of art, of drama, and she exhibited even a vvlder range of knowl edge on these HUbJects than I possessed, while her comments were keen and original not pedantic nor bookish In any way, but the outspoken frnnkness of young woman hood. Indeed, she was wholesome all through, her face n mirror of her nature. her cjes reflecting hack each mood Never before had I met one of her sex so deeply Interesting, so unconventional and plaln Fpoken. No doubt It was the way In which we had been thrown together which had broken down thus completely tho social barriers; but, be that as It may. the result was admiration on my part, which, perhaps, I did not wholly conceal. However, our conversation lapsed at last, through sheer weariness on my part. I had been at the steerlnf oar so long, staring out Into that drear expanse of ocean and sky. that very muscle of my body ached and my eyes could scarcely bo forced to re main open. In the silence-sre must have noticed this, for she exclaim. suddenly: "Why, I never thought! you must be nearly dead with fatigue. Let me take the oar whi'c you sleep." "I am afraid I shall have to," I admitted, "for I must keep awake tonight. There Is no sign of storm now and the sea is even less rough than it was an hour ago. You feel competent?" "Why, of course ; j ou saw- mo steer. If anything goes wrong I can call you easily enough Please lie down for a few hours." I looked about, permitting her to grasp the oar and slip Into my seat. "rteally I feel as lf"I must." I said re gretfully, "and there can be no danger while things keep as they are, Call me. though, if there is a changes In the weather, for that Jury mast will neyer stand any weight of wind." "I promise: but I am a better boatman thnn you think." I lay down, pillowing my head on my arm, but remained awake some little time, watching her movements. She handled the boat easily, however, and her calm coolness gavo me such confidence that, insensibly, rocked by the gentle rise nnd fall of the craft, I drifted off into unconsciousness. I must have slept for several hours un disturbed, for, when I finally, opened my e'yes once more the 6ky above us waa be ginning to turn purple with twilight, and the breeze had failed, so that the sail flapped Idly against its improvised mast. This, perhaps, was the noise which had aroused me. I sat up wide awake Instantly, and stared about me In the boat. There was little change'notlceable ; Miss Vera still clung to the steering oar, showing no out ward signs i of weariness, and greeted me with a smile and nod of her head ; but McCann had moved forward, and sat play ing Idly with an open Jackknlfc. I had a glimpse of him beneath the makeshift eall, but If he saw mo rise he exhibited no mani festation of Interest. "I bear testimony that you slept well, Mr. Hollls," the girl said cheerfully. 'T did not realize until I lay down how weary I was," I replied, ndoptlng her man ner, "but really you had no right to let me lie so long. Why, I must have been sleeping three or four hours, and you will bo tired out." "Oh, no ; It was no trick at all, The wind kept steady until Just a few moments ago. and I do not feel In the least fatigued." "And you have seen nothing? No smoke, no sail?" She shook her head, her eyes grown grave. "Not a thing; we seem to be absolutely alone In the immensity of the sen Just one great wave after the other. It it gets on the nerves." i.It certainly docs; such a sight has driven more than one Insane. But what does this mean? Why Is the biscuit bag out here?" I pointed to the bottom of .tho boat, be yond her feet. Her eyes met mine, her answer made In a whisper. "H! he crept back here while I waa ad Justing my oar, and took two." "McCann?" "Yes, he had the bag before I noticed, and I thought It best not to anger him then, for he .held that open knife In his hand." "You should have called me," "The mischief was done before I had anv time. Besides I knew you needed the sleep.' ,. I.Ut M.O ;uu sul"l lu UU , I smiled a bit grimly, glimpsing htm be neath the sail. "I am about to give Mr. Fergus McCann, late of New York, a little specimen of ea discipline which I hope may .last him for the remainder of this, voyage,' r replied quietly, "He ate the. biscuits, I preaume?" "Yea, slowly, tnoml by morsel, aa though he waa really utiry. Yt mun be carWul , you know the rnan'i arwd."
