Stakes began to climb. Frog bids 'vanished. Onlookers edged in from other groups to watch the play —a- mong them a burly red-faced man who stood ebseurly at the rine of the circle with his eyes fixed intently on Speed's face and hands. The gatii- bier remained calm and composed as a deacon, playing good bands and bad with equal devoutness—or rather making bad ones good, for the cards were running hard against hint. "Wouldn't surprise Inc a whole lot to near you'd played this game afore" the man declared, as he lit a cigar before picking up a uew hand.

His earliest memory was of a small schoonerwhich his grandfath- er had managed to salvage out of the genezai wreck. ,From the old man he had learned, along with a knowledge of ships and water. After .his .grand- father's death, he had found employ- ment with a firm of msderwriters' ag- ents, reporting on wrecks and sal- vage. It had: led him into the study of admit alilty law—+a vocation his sea -going father's would not have ad- mired. He was sent west to investigate a wreak off the Rarrallones, near San Francisco --chis first important cam - mission'. But he had found the own- ers in a position rather like that o;: his own people when they crashed. His. sympathy and the rights of the ease were ,with the stranded adven- turers as against the bankers. He had wired a report as fair to both sides as he could'make it. The return wire had virtually ac- cused him of being bought by the owners. In a gust. of anger he had resigned, though the whole structure of his plans went foundering 'on •that reef. Hp was unwilling to return home until he had regained his foot- ing; but his career was .not an easy wreck to salvage. Jobless, and with his small capital dwindling, he had been roving tate wharves of that misty western port of adventure when the news of the. gold strike on Bonanza Creek .burst on the world like a rocket--prortee- ing him a means of recovering more than he had lost. "If you -wasn't a gansbler, Bud .." Something the Westerner had said re OLD e.UTOCASTER SEA Ings in the fog. It seemed more probable that :he had drowned. FIe halted to tread the water in the icy swell and shouted. The cry rasp- ed in his throat. This time he seem- ed to hear an answer, but, in the same instant his !body was pierced by a searing stab. The muscles of his back twisted- in a paralyzing knot that stopped his breath. Though the cramp was unshakable, he fought' it with every reserve of will, as it drag- ged him down, - impotent; into shad- owed, swirling, freezing depths,' His lungs heaved; drums Jeered in his oars; his heart seemed to wedge in his throat. Shadows dissolved a round hint in- to misty daylight. Something wae supporting hint, choked and numb, on the . sumanit of a swaying world of waters, .and.he heard a voice saying between breaths: - "Well, I'll be doggoned, So its You . . , you ornery young son of a sea dog. Lastdive most got me .. . winded . . Reckoned you was the deputy." Even the sight of the gambler's dripping faee ;failed to make thin clear. "Don't :figure I could swim ye a- slrore," the voice continued. "And I'm locoed if I call that boat." Yet this was exactly what Maitland heard bite do a few moments later, but there was no answer. Maitland knew too well the disad- vantage of. a .biuoy as 'a refuge for drowning men in a fog. Passing ships give it as wide .a berth as possible. With this thought he realized the full irony of what had happened. His at- tempted rescue was worse than use- less; he was actually dragging down the'inan he had tried to save. That final detail str•wok hien as unfair. He tried to wrench himself free. But though the gambler's hold waver- ed, he could not loosen it. When he struggled to speak the arm only grip- ped him tighter. Then everything I was drenched in a fantastic ether, through which floated images of boyhood things long forgotten, and CLINTON COLLEGIATE AFFAIRS Interestingly Written Up By A Student On Tuesday, Goderich sent clown their Collegiate hockey team to, try their luck. against the Clinton boys,' and the few spectators who were pre- sent saw a fast, even game of hockey. In the first period, C.C.I. seemed to be playing a .defensive game, and appeared to be contentedwith sending the puck to the far :end with long shots. MicCail got a bit impatient, and taking the puck in his usual flashy style, broke through Goder- ich defence alone and fooled the God- erieh goalie for the first goal of the. game. ' Then McInnes, of Goderieh came through, drew out "Frenehie" Mon- teith and tied up the score,, a few minutes before the end of the first period. The score was 1-1 at the end of the first. In the second . period, both teams settled down to work MlclMannis and Riley Johnson both showed a tendert cy foe wanting to play forward in- stead of defence, and this gave both sides opportunities at times. Neither team seethed to get very far without being 'checked, and Dixon and Douere played a stone -wall defence game in this period.' There was no scoring done by ei- ther Clinton or Goderich in the se- cond, and it closed with the score standing ane all, The first period was very clean, but in the, second both MclMannis and McCall were sent to the penalty box, In the third period, the C.C.I. team settled down to play' real hockey. "Hack" Johnson, who formerly had been rather in the background, start- ed off alone with the puck, evaded the Goderieh defence and drew out W'orthy to put C:C.I. one up for the second tune that night. At this time Meelannis and McCall were sent for their second session of the evening, in the penalty box. Dint. Batten', taking advantage of the defenceman'e absence, weaved his way beyond the Goderieh forward line, passed Lane, and scored again, to make it 3-1 for Speed was busy arranging his eutzetl to him now.

Swiftly as beet/ea, the sound receded. He stopped again. Hearing a sound once more, he shouted. There was no answer, and he kept on, losing count of the space he was putting between himself and the steamer.
