CHAPTER VIII.-Continued. lat When daylight came, they found tat they bad not traveled far from the the scene of the night's disaster; or, if hay they had, the Jeanne A'Are had drift ed with them. She was still afloat, e and just as the sun rose they saw ni her, apparently not far away, tossing ea rudderless to the waves. There was the no sign of the ship's boats. At the renewed miracle of light, it a and at sight of the yacht, Jimmy's a hopes were reborn. JIis spirit bathed loi s in the wonder of the day and was pr e made strong again. The night with th L its horrors of struggle and its dark- 4 ness was past, forgotten in thb flush of hope that came with the light. , Together they struck out toward dE e the yacht, fresh with new 'courage. Nt New that he could see plainly, Jim fo " swam always a little behind Agatha. b g keeping a watchful eye. She still took the water gallantly, nose and closed mouth just topping the wave, tr d like a spaniel. An occasional side a stroke would bring her face level to as l the water, with a backward smile for F - her companion. He gloried in her tl 10 spirit, even while he feared for her 0o strength. u It was a longer pull to the yacht L II than they had counted upon, a heavy q tr tax on their powers of endurance. Jim a re came up to find Agatha floating on her tl ), back and put his hand under her e ti shoulders, steadying her easily. *a "Now you can really rest," he said. s "I've looked toward the horizon so a to long, I thought I'd look up, way up, s g for a change," she said cheerfully. , is "That's where the skylarks go, when an they want to sing-straight up into e ýy heaven!" 1; "Doesn't it make you want to b sing?" ' in She showed no surprise at the a question. i ey "Yes, it does, almost But just as 3 1i- I thought of the skylarks, I remem Ith bered something else; something that I kept haunting me in the darkpess all 1 night- i l'r "'Master in song, good-by, good-by, ht 1Down to the dim sea-line-' I us I thought something or somebody was sureiy lost down in 'the dim sea-lipe' i last night" tst "Who can tell?

'But when the fair ry haired dawn brought the third day, fly then the wind ceased; there came a In- breathless calm; and close at hand he Sspied the coast, as he cast a keen glance forward, tipborne on a great ert wave.'

He loved her anew or for that speech, but knew not how sta to meet her eyes. der "Well, Ulysses lost his raft, tool" mu he managed to say. ke: "He saw the sunrise, too, just as str we have seen it; and he saw a distant island, that seemed a shield laid far on the misty sea.'

"I shiv- Sb ered at the thought of what a fright it I must look. I always did hate to ap get my hair wet" in "You look all right to me." They were able to laugh, and so mi kept up heart. They tried to calcu- a late the direction the yacht had ca taken when she left port, and where an the land might' lie; and when they wi had argued about it, they set out to st swim a certain way. In their hearts he each felt that any calculation was wi futile, but they pretended to be in to earnest. They could not see far, but cl they created for themselves a goal hi and worked toward it, which is of ti itself a happiness. So they watched and waited, ages of long. Hope came to them again w presently. James, treading water, b thrust up his head and scented the ti air. w "I smell the salt marsh, which nD means land!" He sniffed again. "Yes, Il decidedly!" fc A moment later it was there, be- a fore their vision-that "shield laid on a -the misty sea" which was the land. si Only it was not like a shield, but a it rocky spit of coast land, with fir fi trees farther back. James made for s the nearest point, though his heart I shrank to see how far away it was. ti i Fatigue and anxiety were taking v r their toll of his vigor. Neither o r one had breath to spare even for ex- a ultation that the land was in sight. Ii tLittle by little Agatha grew more quiet, though not less brave. It took y m all her strength to fight the water ir that mighty element which indiffer- t r ently supports or engulfs the human t atom. If she feared, she made no 1 d. sign.. Bravely she kept her heart, and - o carefully she saved her strength, P' swimming slowly, resting often, and Y. wasting no breath in talk. n But more and more frequently her o eyes rested wistfully on James, mute ly asking him for help. He watched to her minute by minute, often begging her to let him help her. be "Oh. no, not yet: I can go on nicely, if I just rest a little. There-thank as you." - Once she looked at him with such at pain in her eyes that he silently took tl her hands, placed them on his slloul der and carried her along with his y, stronger stroke. She was reassured by his strength, and presently she as slipped away from him, smiling con e' fldently again as she swam along side. r "rIm all right now; but I suddenly . thought, what if anything should hap I! pen to youa and I be left alonet Or y what if I should get panicky and Seclutch you and drag you down, the s way people do sometimes!" "ButL shan't leave you alone, and t you're not going to do that!" Agatha smiled, but could only say, ir-"I hope not!" y ,She forged ahead a little, and pres a ently had another moment of fright e on looking round and finding that Jim n had disappeared. He had suddenly at dived, without giving her warning. He came up a second later, puffing and s. spitting the bitter brine; but his face F was radiant S "Rocks and seaweed!" he caed. e5 "The lasd is near.

Yet he swam on, fighting against visi the heart-breaking thought that his a a companion had perhaps gone "down T to the dim sea-line" in very truth. of She had been so brave, so strong. ing She had buoyed up his courage when layl it had been fainting; she had fought wet splendidly against the last terrible dar inertia of exhaustion. dr1 "Courage!" he told ehimself.
