Over the waters raog Renee's voice,
but Guy Faunt,never ooked back. He
knew his duty, and las did it, though he
thus renounced the woman who was
dearer to him than his life.
How he ' swam, ith that strong,

We had seen Mr. aurence go under

sunk, and we held our ,e reaths with fear;
but Guy was near the e then, and, as he

"I wish to go now. I like the surf to

He flushed faintly. " No," he said,
" I am not. Go if you like, and I will
