N.w Tork. Oct la.-Walter Well
nan and tb craw ot flv men In tbe
big 'dirigible airiblp America which
atarted from Atlantic City at o'clock
Saturday morning, were found in dia
trail and picked up at eea 375 mllei
cfl tbe North Carolina coait by tbe
fioyal Mail Steamship Trent, i ue
rft was Id eight ibortly before 6
'clock, hundreda of miles outside ber
course, where she waa hovering near
the water with her crew still In the
gondola. Jack Irwin, the wireless
operator, waa at his post In the life
boat euepended below tne gonuoia uui
evidently tired of calling for relief,
after having been 48 houra out of sight
and touch with land or steamer even
by the magic of his wireless, had
ceased to work his Instruments saving
his battery for the last "C. Q. D."
Thus It was that tbe Trent traveling
cut of tbe line of 'coasting sleamers
algbted the big airship and signalled
her before tbe exhausted and practi
cally hopeless Wellman and his crew
knew that succor was at band.
Anawered Wlrelesa Call.
Jack Irwin lost no time In respond
ing to tbe wlrelss call from Operator
Louis Ginsberg of the Trent and told
trim that the airship waa in distress
and that the crew wished to abandon
it '
Then followed the strangest and
most dramatic scene ever witnessed
en tbe seas that of a steamship talk
ing with aid of the wlreleas to an air
hip and trying to rescue the crew pf
ber sister vessel of the lighter ele
ments after the- fashion of taking
board the brew of a vessel of the
water in distress.
Wellman Tells the Story.
Wellman aends the following ac
count ot his trip.
On Board the Steamship Trent Af
ter passing Nantucket on Sunday
morning we made an estimated 110
miles east northeast, drifting with a
Iresh breeze without the motor.
In the afternoon, the wind was west
arly and at 9 p. m. our approximate
position was latitude 42 north, lati
tude 67 west. ,, .
Here tne winu sniueu id iub uuriu
arest and blew at 30 miles an hour,
the America drifting at 25 miles an
kour.
The equlllbrator "pulled hard while
Tiding over tbe aeas, Jerking and
hocking the airship and setting up
a railing motion that threatened the
total deatuctton of the craft. It was a
dreadful night but the entire crew
were calm and even cheerful. Wc
were greatly exhausted. One after the
other we went to sleep, expecting to
-wake up In the ocean.
At 3 a. m. we were In readiness tc
tart the motor and try to make
Europe or the Asores If the winds held
favorable. But they soon veered tc
the narthcast.
The Aiorea being impossible with
the reduced gasoline on band against
the contrary winds, it waa decided ti
ry and mkc the Bermudas.
;Ve drifted to tne sotitnwest at loom
IS miles an hour, reserving the moiort

Meanwhile a mighty struggle was
going on In Paul Worthlngton'a mind.
Had he not been born to th purple

for during his college daya he had
given evidence of an unueual talent

But now, under Marguerite'a acorn

watching with lazy Interest the spark?
dancing up the chimney like a million
golden butterflies, he waa secretly
admiring the slender gTay-eyed girl
who dared to tell him the truth even
at the coat of their friendship.
Hla farewell tbat night waa cold
and almost formal. He barely touched
Marguerite'a Icy little hand and en
tirely ignored the appeal in her wide
gray eyea. She longed to apeak some
word of encouragement to blm, but
"I Hav Found My Lit Work."

parted, ahe tremulous and frightened;
he stern and proud."
Society gossiped for the proverbial
nine days when the newa of Paul
Worthlngton'a audden v departure to
Europe became known. It looked to
Marguerite Chantry for an explana
tion, but none waa forthcoming. And
no on dared to question the heiress
of the Chantry millions, th girl who
held the social aceptcr In tbe hollow
of her hand.
Daya came and went and Marguo
rite heard no mor from Paul Worth
lngton. She tried to persuade herself
that ah was perfectly Indifferent to
his whereabouta, but bor mlaty eyes
and tremulous Hp bore evidence to
th contrary when hla flrat letter ar
rived. ' '
"I hav found my lit work," be

Marguerite quietly toesed th letter
on tb biasing log with a acornful
toaa of her head. Not a word about
ber own aac rifle In (ending htm away
from ber to make something of bla
life, but only worda of prals for th
girl who had ao lately com Into their
world.
Spring found th Clisntrya In Bu
rope. They lingered longest In fair
Italy, th land of azure akiea and
golden sunlight, and the, bom of tb
old masters. Their ancient painting
had a peculiar fascination for Mar
guerite, and sh often found herself
thinking of Paul Worthlngton with a
wistful tenderness, and wondering If
bla name would ever b classed
among th famoua palnwr ot clo
tures. -
Upon their arrival la Rom they
found th city ringing with th
pralaea ot an unknown artlat named
Clyde, who plctur w. on exhibi
tion In tb art gallry. Even tho
critics wer allent before It; there
wa not a flaw In the exquisite paint
ing. '
At th first opportunity Marguerite
Chantry visited tbe gallery and wait
ed patiently until th crowd permitted
her to atand In the line tbat viewed
lb famoua painting. Tbr wr
other picture by th earn" artlat
hanging In the room, but It was blfor
this on that the crowda lingered.
"Thla is hla masterpiece," they aa!d
softly, almost reverently.
Gradually the crowd melted away
and Marguerite stood before the won
derful picture. Like a dream sea
etretched the field of snowy daiele
with flaming hearts of gold, aa If the
dazzling whiteness of their petala bad
lured the golden sun from Ita home In
the high heavens and Imprisoned It
In their hearts, and from this atarry
carpet, like a spirit of the mist, rose
a slender gray-eyed girl In filmy
white; 'her arms were filled with the
pale, pure blossoms, and half sadly,
half tenderly, ahe gazed on their
snowy lovelinesa. A butterfly ex
quisitely tinted and flecked with gold,
poised on one velvet petal aa If ready
to take flight, and yet loved to lluger
amid aucb beauty. White wlnd-toased
clouds were overhead, and the glop
Ions light of morning tinged the en-'
tire painting with an ethereal glow.
Marguerite felt as if the ground
were slowly slipping from beneath
her feet, for the girl on the canvas
was herself. Bewildered ah eougut
her catalogue. Opposite the number
of the picture she read, "Marguerites,
By Paul Clyde Worthlngton."
x A mist swam before ber eyes and
ahe awayfed slightly. Suddenly the
crowd parted and a tall commanding
figure stood before the picture. Map
guerite felt her icy Angara caught Id
a strong warm, clasp and a voice, vi
brant with tenderness whispered,
"Marguerite."
In ilent wonder they both exam
ined th product of hla bruah and
brain; truly It was hi masterpiece.
Slowly the truth dawned on Margue
rite. It waa ahe alon who had been
his model sh alone tor whom b
had done th'la thing and white ber

the crowd to Hr waiting carriage.
