the coastguard station. But step
mother wouldn't let me. 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

good. She was so nice to you, before

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

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

"Edna!" I Interrupted, excitedly.
"That's my name you know."
I hastily scribbled on tne tablet ox

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

Breathlessly I watched the flutter

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

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
