She never does let me do anything I want to. Oh, dear, I wish we could run away, don't you?" "I'm afraid we couldn't pet," I said. "You see, dear old dad didn't know how horrid everything would be. He loved Mademoiselle Grandin, and she made him think she was sweet and good. She was so nice to you, before he died, and pretended to be so zona a mn Hint in hla will she was au v ww, . - 'pointed your guardian until I should marry. Even If I could get you away from under her eyes which would be very, very difficult I should not be able to bide you, I'm afraid; and the law could take you from me, and give you back to her, for though she makes you so unhappy, sne uas never openly done anything cruel enough to Justify my stealing you. So things would be worse than before." "But if you married, you could take me with you. Oh, I wish you would. I wish you'd marry that nice, handsome sailor, Jack Tryon, who always brought me sweets, when, he used to come and see us In Lon don, before dad died." "He never asked me, baby," I an swered; and did my best to laugh. "Meanwhile, there's Mr. Barrere begging you to marry him. I heard what he was saying to you yester day in the summernouse. He s very handsome, too, but not like Jack Tryon. Hla eyes are too much like mother's; don't you think so?" Winnie's talk set me thinking of the bold step I had taken when Lady Ronald had first announced her In tention of carrying my little sister off to Cornwall: I had written to Jack, giving him our new address. Next moraine after breakfast. Lady Ronald Invited me to her room, and began to talk more openly than she had ever done before about my marriage, naming raw Barrere aa a suitable husband. "What is he to you, this man," I demanded, "that you urge him on me as a husband? What la the secret tie between your She darted at me like a snake. Mr avm snarkled: her white, ring- laden fingers twitched as If she would have scored my face with her nails. Then she broke out, volleying her words at me like bullets. In the midst of her ravings I left her, and ran Into the garden. - As I sat miserably In the summer house that overlooked the great clhT, at whose feet boiled the sea 200 feet below, I could discern a long, low hull, with four dumpy funnels. The renomous-looklBg thing came rushing in shore at the speed of an express train, a' great foaming wave under her stern; andv somehow my heart began to thump as I watched it It was a torpedo destroyer. Straining my eyes, I distinguished two dark figures on her deck, and the an cast back a glint that might have Been the resection front the work of n telescope. 1 1 m A- --'- - - kN XmO Be were w. wwmm. Letter by letter the spelled by the flattering and flan, out there at you-see-me; I-am-Jack-Tryon." I was still staring at the signal when a face popped up Into my line of sight and a man's face looking at me from the brink of the clhT. The shock of surprise seat me flying back step or two, oeiore 1 iemsiou Ma kmuct atm and nmburned face of Dan Hoster, my chief friend among the coastguard. "Excuse me, miss," he said, "but there's a torpedo boat a-making sig nals we cant quite understand up at the look-out She says" "Edna!" I Interrupted, excitedly. "That's my name you know." I hastily scribbled on tne tablet ox i chatelaine. "H3." (Want Imme diate assistance), and "NJ." (Do not abandon me), then mischievously 1 added "L." (Want a pilot. Can I have one?) and passed the book down to Hoster, telling him to go and make .these signals at once. "Certainly, miss," he answered, with alacrity. There waa a long .pause; then the pennant uppermost flying on the torpedo boat aigmnea ithat spelling signals would begin raln. Breathlessly I watched the flutter ing flags. "Will your There waa a t""'g pause. Would I what? Why did he not hurry on to the end of the sentence? There, the flags were at work again. ' "M-a-r-r-v m-e?" was the question ,that came fluttering across the water. I caught my breath. A proposal of marriage flagged from a torpedo boat to a coastguard station! It was U11 o.irtv an offer through a 'UJM3 icvnfuib " w - speaking-trumpet for all the world to hear. The grating of a "nailed boot on rock brought me' back from a world of thought to reality, and there was Hoster on the ledge, looking up with a self-conscious grin. "Yes, yes, Hoster!" I exclaimed. hastily, seeing him about to speaa. "I quite understand the message. Please answer 'C.'" I was conscious that I blushed to the temples. "That I will, miss," he said, "and my respectful congratulations. I'm glad you are marrying into the navy, miss," and he was gone again on his mission as love's go-between. Presently there came the waving of a handkerchief, and I knew Jack had seen my signal. I was engagea to be married! That night Winnie slept in my bed, pillowing her dear golden head In the hollow of my arm. At six I kissed her and she woke instantly. We dressed with noiseless speed, and went downstairs, and out into the garden, meeting no one. In a bundle I carried our Jewelry and ruch treas , .0 orn msIIv Dortable. Once n f the house, and not knowing who might be watching, we stole up a path that led away from the sea, and. when secure from observation, doubled and ran to the summernouse. 1 A low whistle at the edge of the cliff brought Hoster from bis hiding place round the curtain of rock. We gave Winnie no time to be afraid, but handing her down Into the coast gnard's strong arms, he moved cau tiously away with her along the steep track so familiar to him, so fearful Beyond the curtain of rock, the dlxxy ledge widened. From tWe point the descent, though difficult, waa not dangerous, and In a few moments we were safely seated In a boat, which, with two stalwart fishermen for arew. waa reauy f or ua. j nr t Mniiiie the curtain 01 rock, and looking apprehensively up, I saw the tall, rigid figure of Paul Berrere silhouetted against the sky. He stared down at us. made a quick, vehement gesture with his arms, and disappeared. - What if Barrere ahould try to head , us off? Our men pulled their hardest, j but In the rough and broaen sea we made only alow progress. vWinnie and I sat pale, with clasped hands. , Next moment a sailing boat came fly- lug round the point at the river mouth. j Barrere. I knew, could sail a boat, and as I looked I could almost hear the hiss of the boat's cut-water as it dashed through the waves. u. vo rew wide, for on board the destroyer waa a clergyman, In his surplice. Winnie was my bridesmaid, the engineer and the midshipman, the wit nesses. Just as the solemn words were spoken, and Jack and I had been pronounced man and wife,, the sail boat caught us up for we had been stationary 'during the ceremony. "I demand the custody of the child!" Paul Barrere vindictively shouted. "I have authority from ber step-mother and legal guardian." "Her sister Is now her legal guar dian." retorted my husband.
