Tho fug i-'acU* it loom into fairly gi gantic proportions, for there was little wind stirring, and it eropt up in ghost* ly fashion. Suddenly the blocks rattled and the boom creaked and groaned as it swung about. For moment the craft hung In the wind's eye There was a clatter of feet, a yawl towing astern was pull ed up under the rail, and three men in yellow oilskins and varnished sea boots tumbled Into her. "Good day to you, lads! Drop down with the tide tonight and we'll picli you up off the Hook or thereabouts." Tho hoarse voice of a broad shoul dered man bellowed this through the fog as he leaned over the rail. The yawl had *heen cast off and dropped astern. The boom croaked again, the sail flapped sharply, displaying a huge "8," and the pilotboat melted into the fog once more, leaving the yawl cour tesyiug on the gray waves. Mitchell, the pilot in charge of tho yawl, sat squarely in tfilp sternsheots, a tiller rope in each hatiti. "Give way, you fellows," he said, "if you want to get to Gurnett time enough to have a yarn with that girl." "How In blazes caa we know where Gurnett Is in this fog?" growled one of them, bending his back to the ash. The bow oar laughed. "Terry's sulky," he said, keeping stroke while he talked. "Mina didn't care mooch to see him last time he vas there—eh, Terry?" "That's a lie!" declared stroke rough ly. "She was just as glad to see me as you." "Shut up, Carl! Don't tease the fel low," admonished Mitchell. "And you needn't be so touchy, Terry." "You'd be touchy, Mitchell," declar ed stroke, swelling with his wrongs. "Those two—he aud Mlna—jabber away in their own confounded lingo, aud 1 can't understand h^lf they say. And I knew her loug before he ever came nos ing round," he added ruefully. "Pooh! I wouldn't be jealous," said Mitchell. "It's like the girl would be glad to see somebody who can talk her own language." "Well, she can't have him and me both," declared Terry, "and I'll tell her that." Carl from the bow seat chuckled and showed a broad, laughing face to the pilot. "She'll be mooch obliged for that," he said. "Then she not have to —what you call—ship you herself, eh?" The other's eyes blazed with passion, and he dropped his oar and with an oath swung about to get at the Swede, but tho steersman's voice recalled him. "What d'you mean, you swab?" he shouted. "Want to swamp the yawl? Grab that oar, quick!" With a shamed face the recreant1 stroke plunged his oar again deeply. "Confound you and the girl both!" pursued Mitchell. "You'll lose a yawl nest, and no girl's worth that. If you'd been a married man's long as me, you wouldn't get to fighting over a wom an." The stroke hung his head, and even Carl's merry face looked sober at the calamity which Ihey had so narrowly avoided, lie glanced behind him into the impenetrable fog bank. "We can nefer see where the land is, even," he grumbled. "You leave that to me," returned the pilot. "I kin smell land. I don't need eyes along this shore." It must have been by the sense of smell that Mitchell found the long pier at Gurnett. He steered the yawl al most directly in to the steps, although they couldn't see the piles twenty feet away. Carl stood up and cleared the ice drift with his oar so that they could get in without injuring the yawl. It was after noon when they landed at the pier. "Now, we haven't more than an hour to waste here," said Mitchell, settling his hat more firmly upon his head. "If 3*ou go to see that girl, Terry, don't you forget. lie back here in an hour. I'll go along up street and buy the provi sions we was sent for." "And I'll go along with you," said Carl, with a wink. "Then I'll keep out of temptation, eh?" "Just as well you do," growled Mitch oil. "I don't want you fellows to get to fighting now, mind that." I (High Patent.) O makes perfect bread—light, sweet, wholesome and nutrltous. White C°mm°n fl0Ur pri°6- Asl1 your next door QUAKER MILL COMPANY 1 He and the Swede moved away, and after a moment their companion fol lowed them. But at tho end of the pier he turned iuto a side street—a street which fronted the water, with wharfs and shipping on one hand and a row of little shops and ship chandlers' ware houses on the other. In this neighbor hood, over the shops and warehouses and In the courts and lanes behind them, lived seafaring folk, many of them of foreign extraction. Terry turned into one of the little shops where a big Swede stood behind the counter. After greetings had pass ed between them Terry looked around as though he missed something or somebody out of tho shop. "You Iookln' for Mina, eh?" said the Swede. "She vas joost gone to the kitchen. She back will be in a min ute." But the girl did not come in a min ute nor in several. Terry talked at random, listening for the girl's step or voice. Somebody came into the room directly behind the shop, but it was MIna's aunt, the big Swede's wife. He asked a question in his own language and at her reply turned to the sailor again. "She has comp'ny in the kitchen," he said. "I guess she vill be back soon. I'll haf the wife tell her you vas here." S Mina did not come. The sailor paced the floor with anxious strides, his thoughts growing the more bitter as he waited. She knew he was there and yet did not come. Ills hour's leave was fast slipping away. Finally the shop keeper's wife stuck her head into the shop and saw him. "Veil, veil!" she exclaimed, with a laugh. "Iss it you? Vy didn't you say so? Go ritlt into the kitchen if you vant to see Mina." "John said she had company there," said Terry, brightening up. "Veil, dat Iss ridt, but It iss no stran ger to you. Go in." And she waved her hand toward the passage leading to the kitchen. ft •••a.***....** I Tho sailor followed her directions, but as he approached the kitchen door his heart failed him. He could hear voices within—Mina's and a man's. They were talking In the girl's own tongue, and Terry's suspicions were in stantly aroused. lie hesitated a moment.

Mi na, her face full cf laughter, sat upon a bench beside and hor hand w::a hold by—Carl Jansen! "Oh!" she cried and sprang up as she saw her lover's frowning visage at the door. Carl sat still and laughed in the jealous lover's face. For a single instant Terry stood with out motion or Fpoech. Thou ho turned swiftly and was out of the lioui-v he fore either Carl or Mina regained breath. When Mitchell came down to the pier to which yawl No. 3 of the Halcyon, officially known as pilotboat 8, was tied, he found Terry there before him. The sailor stood like a statue on the strlngplece of the wharf, looking oflf in to the fog. Mitchell had to speak to him twice before he could arouse him. Then the provisions came down on a truck. They put them aboard, distrib uting them so that the yawl rode even ly, and then Carl appeared. Terry took his oar with a set, white face and wait ed for the pilot's word to give way. "We've a nasty Job before us," said Mitchell gloomily, casting off. "I hear there's a lot of loose ice coining down the bay. Attend right to business, boys, and don't have any such skylark ing as you did coming over. Are you ready?" "Aye, aye. sir!" from Carl. Terry was silent, but dipped his oar deeply, and In an Instant the pier was out of sight. It seemed as though it had drifted away from them and had been smothered by the fog. not that they had been swept away from It. The tide had turned and was running out fiercely. Occasionally tho yawl crunched through a little Ice drift "Look alive, boys," said Mitchell. "Be ready to back water on the in stant if I tell you. Some of these cakcs we pass might smash yawl 3 like an eggshell if we give 'em the chance." Mitchell bent low, his sou'wester shading his eyes, striving to peer ahead, but it was all he could do to see the boat's nose. Beyond was a blinding curtain of fog. The wind, too, had increased. The tide was with them, but the wind drove across the yawl's bows and sometimes made her stagger. The fog signals of the few craft belated in the cuter bay sounded as though from a great distance. The only other sound besides the swish of the choppy waves was a low, crooning noise, which seem ed to grow momentarily. "What is that?" shouted Carl, still tugging at his oar. Mitchell's face, such of It as was not covered by beard, was white. "That is ice, boys!" he exclaimed. "I've heard it like that up north. It must be a big jam coming down the bay." Terry did not appear to hear him. His face was set and his thoughts seemed far away. "Are we in the vay?" bawled Carl. "Whether we are or not, 1 reckon we'd better run in shore. I guess the Halcyon won't look for us tonight." But as he spoke a change had taken place. The wind began to whip a cloud of fine sleety snow across their He caught the rough coat sleeve just as the hand slipped. course. The snow stuck to the boat and to their clothing in heavy, soggy patches. "I kin stand fog," growled Mitchell, "but hang me if I like this. I duuno which way we're headed. We might as well go out with the tide, I reckon, and risk the ice. Don't pull too hard, boys. Just keep her steady." He was obliged to speak again to Terry to get him to reduce his stroke. It seemed as though the turmoil in his mind had shut out all appreciation of the battle of the elements. ArMlng to their danger were the Ice cakes which now thickened around them. Carl broke his oar short off upon one, aud only by the quick action of the pilot were they saved from capsizing. "Pull in your oar, Terry, and let me have it," commanded Mitchell. "An oar's enough sight better than a rud der at such a pass as this." Almost instantly, It seemed, the yawl was in the midst of the Ice pack. The snow swept down with fury upon them. They could scarcely see the wa ter for the whitocapped cakes. Mitch ell growled maledictions on his mem ory for not putting an extra pair of oars in the boat. Terry sat amidships without speech or motion, and finally the pilot's vexation turned against him, aud he cursed him roundly. "You might be a stock or a stone!1 he said. "Are you dumb, man?" "Will talklug mend It?" replied the sailor aud fell into silence again. Suddenly there was a shout from the bow, and almost instantly the yawl crashed into a huge cake and was driv en back by the force of the collision. As though it was a signal for a general attack, the Ice advanced upon the doomed boat upon either side. She was crushed between two grinding, shoul dering walls of driving cakes, and the sea began to spurt between the strain ed seams. "We vas lost!" cried Carl, leaping up. The shock which followed threw him upon the ice pack. "Overboard with you!" sang out Mitchell. "She'll sink in a minute. Got on a big cake, boys." But only Terry heard him. Carl had disappeared. The pilot and stroke of the wrecked yawl found themselves clinging side by side upou a huge cake of ice. "Where is he? Where Is he?" gasped the sailor, at last aroused. "Poor Carl! Poor boy!" groaned the pilot. "He mustn't drown!" cried Terry, standing upright upon the tetering ice. "He must be saved! Mina"— The yawl disappeared, sucked under by the tide. In the swirl of gray water where it went down was a man's up raised arm. The hand clung an instant to the ragged edge of the ice. Terry swooped down upon it instant ly. He caught the rough coat sleeve just as the hand slipped and with a mighty heave brought Carl's head and shoulders out of tho Icy water. In a breath ther had drazsud their comrade ....-V,.«?..-•«.4.. ...-»...jr.ci... r-f jTS out of the jaws of death. The Swede spat out the water he had swallowed and recovered his breath. "That vas noble of you, old man," he said to Terry. "Stow that!" was the rough reply. Carl's teeth began to chatter, and Terry aud Mitchell hugged him up be tween them that the warmth of their bodies might In some measure counter act the chill he had received. The snow, which still fell, packed around and over them until they might have been a part of the ice cake to which tliey clung. Mitchell raised his head occasionally the better to listen. "Can't honr a single horn," he de clared. "We might as well be in the middle of the Atlantic Instead of a mile or so offshore. I duuno but we'd better shout." "What for?" grumbled Carl. "To keep you from going to sleep, youuker," returned the pilot sharply. "Are you cold?" "X-not very," chattered the Swede. "It's death, lad!" cried the pilot. "Rouse up aud keep yourself warm." "I won't let him go to sleep, sir," said Terry. "You're very good, both of you," de clared Carl. Then he added In his mate's ear, "She don't care nottin' 'bout me, Terry." "Who?" exclaimed the other, with a nervous start. "Why, Mina. We vas joost teasin' you. It vas her sister I lofe, not her— her sister in the faderland. She vill be ofer here in a mont', and we vill be marry." Suddenly Mitchell commanded si lence. "I hear something yonder," he said. After several minutes the dull bark ing of a foot power foghorn reached their cars. "The old Halcyon, for a dollar!" cried the pilot. "Let's shout." A quavering, long drawn "Aho-o-y!" arose from the crow of yawl 3. Again and again it was repeated. Occasion ally through the falling snow and ever present fog the deep, grinding note of the horn clieered them. It drew nearer. "If we don't pass 'em!" groaned Mitchell, standing ercet in his eager ness. Then a hail through a trumpet readi ed them iu the very teeth of the storm. "Aho-o-y!" "Help! Help!" roared the pilot. "We're starb'd of you—iu the Ice!" The foghorn kept snorting to cheer them, but they soon heard something else—that rattle of oars approaching. Of a sudden the bow of a four oared boat pushed into view. A man stood upright in the boat, a coll of rope in his hand. Instantly the rope was flung to them, and by its aid all three were drawn into the lifeboat. "So this is the way you go ashore for provisions, is it?" growled the cap tain of the Halcyon as the yawl's crew scrambled in. "Well, cap, you come darn near los ing us as well as the yawl and the store truck," remarked Mitchell, calm ly taking the tiller and steering un erringly for the pilotboat, whose fog horn growled at Intervals to guide them. But Terry put his lips close to the Swede's ear and asked: "Is it true?" "Iss vat true?" "That about Mina?" "Of course It Iss, and if you a chump don't be you vill marry her when I marry Sophie next mont'—eh?" The Aromutlc Clove Tree.
