At such times the air Is frost-la len and benumbing, even In mid-summer. Tho water Itself Is of an ominous, leaden lint, like a bnttleshlp with her war paint on. liven the foam which caps tho waves Is not white and flakey ns It Is In tho ttouthcrn zones, but Booms to have been adulterated with some refuse tint suggestive of tho dirty suds of wash day.

Deep-sea sallow dread thl region and avoid It when they can, but the nmphlbious Norwegian and tho storm born Dano lovo It ns a bavago loves the wilderness. If you should study one of tho older charts of this bad-tcmpcrcd sea you would discover that Ilfty-two miles off tho coast of Denmark, by tho compass north-northwest from Tyboron, thcro looms a rock with nn unpronounceublo Danish name, which, being translated into Kngllsh. means tho Devil's None. At tho present time it has disappeared, for upon it hail citranded bo many vessels and to It was duo tho loss of so many lives and ho much property that tho Danish and the German government united to destroy It. It Is not located on tbo chartB in uso today, nnd tho deepest draught war vessel may now pafM over tho unot in safety Originally it loomed sixty-four rest Into the air, and from tho westward had tho appcaranco of a huge none, tho moro bo when tho tide was low, for then at tho water's edge could bo sccu Indentations that had been ground out by centuries of pounding wnves, nnd theso cavities wcro tho nostrils of this mammoth proboscis. To tho eastward It ex tended from tho nummlt to tho water at an angle of 23 degrees. This part of tho rock whs enncavo In form, and it broadened as It descended until It finally disappeared bo nonth tho water llko tho tines of a pitch fork, leaving a sheltered bay about fifty feet in length by thirty In breadth, nnd as deep as tho sea Itself. Many a belated craft returning from a fishing voyago nnd overtaken by a furious nor'wester found fihetteiihero beforo tho rock was destroyed, nnd InVho llttlo bay rodo out tho gale In safety; nnd It was Just such an occasion ns thlB which ono afternoon In August com pelled two men. tho solo occupants of a Hloop-rlggcd craft, to seek tho llttlo haven of rofugo. Tho gain had como upon them nlmost without warning. They had reefed and doublo reefed their salln, but tho wind, as if it enjoyed their discomfiture, increased its strength In proportion as thoy reduced tbo rcslstaneo to It, so that at last thoy wero obliged to scud before It with only sail enough left standing to glvo them ntocr ngo way. ()ni of these men, almost a giant In stature, hold tho tiller nnd watched with unerring eyes tho play of tho savage water around them. Ho knew throo waters as the half-grown child known tho dooryard of its birthplace, and ho loved tho sea, tho leap lug waves and tho rushing wind with a pas lon that was hereditary. Ho loved It, nnd ho delighted to defy Its dangers. His com panion held tho sheet rope, which, notwith standing tho fact that ho had taken two turns around tho cleat, was, with each frish gust of wind, almost Bnatchcd from hls crasn, "Weil mnko the Devil's Nose, CraddocK" said thn big man at tho helm, "and we',1 be thcro In ten mlnuteV time.

When tho bloop was ngaln upon the Rum mlt of a wnvo Crnddock, from his potl'l-n nt tho bow, could sco tho huge rock to which his compnnlon had referred.

Hut neither of thruo men scnied to realize 'tho danger they wero In, or if they realized It, they wero carele.s con cerning It. And whllo he nt tho stern stood with feet apart, his right hand grnpplng the tlllor and his left firmly holding tho strain Ing sheet. Crnddock prepared himself fo thn leap he was to make, upon tho success of which their safety depended Krom a small thing In tho distance the Povll's Noso loomed greater and mightier m they advanced. It seemed to bo running toward them at fearful upeed. growing taller rind mightier .nnd moro ominous ns it ap proaehod. Tho wavcn bait against it with favngo fury and clouds of spray and chunks of water wero hurled almost to tho summit It seemed to Crnddock ns they drove on ward ns 1f bin friend wns steering straight for the forbidden rock: but ho nevor looked nstern. Ho knew that the hand that held thn tlllor was strrng. tried nnd sure. Then camn the mighty boom of the mad donod waters ngaliiht the barrier of rock and tho yacht was enveloped In n bhower of foam nnd mist through which, half ob scured, tho black monument towered.

It was nt thnt Instant that Crnddock mado his leap. Twenty minute later tho sloop was safely moored within 'tho llttlo bay, which was s placid as a mill pond, nnd tho two men wero snug In the cabin with nothing but thn roar of thn rushing wind nbove them nnd the booming of the water ngalnst tho western extremity of the rock to remind them of tho perils through which they had ust passed. Whllo tho ttorm raged on and daylight be came smothrred by advancing night Vy frequently clouds of spray and masses of water leaped over the summit of the rock, moment later he saw the form of hh friend to ugnln fall Into the sea many fathoms to t"""' , ' , , . l" ' ! i.....V. ..i t,, .. i , ,,. .. strokes, and clinging to his back, with her leeward.

Crnddock shrugged his shoulders, and, without reply, turned toward tho dlngoy which had nlrendy been launched nnd was moored on tho port sldo of tho sloop. Thoy sculled It quickly to the head of tho bay. and scon began the precarious nscent of tho Devil's None. Two-thirds of tho distnnco to tho summit they enmc upon a level space no bigger than n dining table, which in the center wns cleft apart, leaving a space not moro than two feet wide, and ns dark as midnight within; and Into this forbidding placo tbo big mnn, without explanation or hesitation, dropped. Crnddock followed, and a mcoicnt later they stood In a natural cavern that wns crcntcd when tho rock was formed "I doubt," said tho leader, "If thcre lives another man today who knows of tho ex Istenco of this cavern. Hark! Do you hear that whistling moan? It Is like tho vlbra tlon of a hundred ueollnn harrs. I havo n tern here; wait till I ntrlko a light and I will show you something grander than you over saw before." Then, presently, ho led tho way up tho slippery rock, and as they ad vanccd tho weird moaning and whistling became loudor and shriller until It seemed ns if thero wcro living things hovering nrouml them nnd shrieking In their enrs. It wan tho voice of tho gale as It rushed through nn opening In tho rock high over their hcuds; nnd niter they had mounted to It Craddock saw his friend put the Ian tern down; then his arm was solzed In a linn grnsp nnd ho was led nround a Jutting boulder Into the light of day Tho wind struck them llko a blow, and for a moment forced them back ngnln, but they hold their ground and presently stood upon a ledgo formed by an Indentation which Nature had left In the mighty mass, with tho summit of tho Davit's Nose n scarce thrco fathoms abovo their heads on tho table. If there Is moro that I can do, you have but to coll through tho hatch. Ho turned then to leavo her, but she de tained him by a gesture. Tell me," she demanded, with nervous prlnccts. "No, Ralph ;" nnd Craddock turned nnd faced his friend. "I am not angry; that Is not the word; but I havo grave misgivings. I wish that you had not taken me to the summit of the ro;k." Tho brond shoulders of the Norwegian gavo expression to a ohrug. He raised his head proudly, nnd smiled at the clouds, the sky, and tho world nround him. "I d'd not take you there, old chap," he Tha' der'iny whUh s!i.prs our enl' in whoio conlr.il our cntltic.i are as lucre feathers in n gale, brought us through the tcmprst. fnce to face, and you, Cnrlctta-- you sco I know your name and you and I will remember and will live up to this hour, henceforth.

Sho raised her eyes to his nnd looked nnd looked nnd looked. She did not spenk, thcre wns no need. And whllo their soula communed together In silence, Craddock leaped Into tho hatchwny and called nloud: "Pall, ho!" Once more the Norwegian touched tho forehp.nl of the prlnccn with his Him, nnd then he left her nnd hastened to the deck. Not thrco miles uway to tho eastward n Danish cruiser was steaming toward them. Craddock wns nt the stern of the sloop wildly ccstlculatlnc to attract tho ntten tlon of those upon the! ship of war; nnd from the starboard bow thcre presently Is sued a puff of smoke followed by n distant report, nnd tho cruiser gilded Into the less tumultuous waves beneath the shelter of tho Devil's Noso. Davits swung outward, n cutter dropped Into tho sea, was manned nnd presently pulled under tho stern of the sloop. Tho cruiser had been sent from Tyboron In search of the belated yacht of tho Prin cess Cnrlotta. Twenty minutes later tho princess had departed. Tho cruiser, with black smoko spouting from her funnels, wns coursing with nil speed for Dcnmnrk with tho Joyous news of the princess' snfoty; nnd Thor stool silently lenning ngalnst the tiller of the sloop, with ono hand shading his eyes, watching tho war ship while Bho became smaller In the distance. Prercntly he turned and motioned t- Crnddock to como nearer. Then, resting ono hand upon the shoulder of his friend, he snld, slowly: "The daughter of a king, Craddock, but only a woman nftcr nil. 1 lovo her, nnd sho love3 me; nnd wero sho the daughter of a hundred kings, she were no less mine The daughter of n king, Craddock. but also tho sweetheart of Thor. the Norwegian. pro!-at ly paid s for thn gallon to (Ml the .an and we io'd it for "n a bottle I it we dldn t get a blamed cent for the th,rt nine gallons, ir.ore or lens, of water that filled tho rist of the Irtrrel.
