(Continued &but last week) and wringing • gasping enelaanations
The force in the height of those from those who were just straighten-
ing themselves up at her sides. Hard-
ly had this and its consequent ex-
citement passed, when the Night
Queen was struck by what appeared
to be a dangerously big sea, causing
many of the spectators to catch at
their breath and Mary to cry, "Oh!"
the while she involuntarily clung
more tightly tothe coping atones, and
the 'tenons at her elbows gave her
rapid enquiring glances. During per-
haps a quarter of a minute it was
difficult to tell whether or 'not the
boat had gone over, ,so smothered
was she in foam and flying spray.
This happening' drew from Bella a
little scream, which no-one heard ex-
cept .herself. Mary held her breath,
feeling that her senses were leaving
her; but she was jerked back to a
very live condition of affairs by an-
other icy Spray stinging her face, and
making her immediate companions
duck uselessly below the top of the
wall. Bella, at her better point of
observation, snatched at the, long,
cheap lace curtain, behind which she
partially stood, and gasped, "Thank
God!"
Then it was seen that the breaker
had scattered more in spray than
aught else. The Night Queen was
safe and still pursuing her gallant
way toward's the wreck, the leeside
of which she reached without any
real mishap. ' In a few minutes she
bad the four survivors aboard, had
turned her starboard quarter to the
freshing gale, and was running for
the harbour, like an unwinded stag
that had small feat of hounds behind.
Now a ringing cheer was carried to,
the breeze, from the outer part of the.
jetty, across the harbour to that
gathering on the road; it reached
Bella, who heeded it not, so keenly
was she watching its cause. The
great shout was also heard by Mrs.
Kingsworth, who at once turned to a
neighbor, saying, "That en be vor
Derry, 'sure enough. Oh, 'tisn't the
likes o' him az go out in a boat ev'ry
day!" But the smile on her thin
face was as false as ever; for, al-
though few persons knew, it, she was
one who never smiled without some
ironical or subtle and more sinister
meaning. Even as she turned again
towards those stressful doings in and
beyond • the harbour her secret
thought was that all the other sea-
going men j,n the place were "nin-
nies an' worse."
Still the Night Queen was not out
of danger; she might take a combat-
ing breaker over her quarter and fill
up at a sweep; However, Derreck
and one of the rescued hands were
Petting out a reef, to lift• the boat
along more lively. The seafarers
told this to others in the crowd, and
the tense feeling of them all began
to lessen.
Here -some cries and new co'inmo-
tion on the inner side of the jetty
drew most of the people there in that
direction, to' find that the hubbub was
due to the other boat having arrived
with the body of the man from the
wrecked boat. Of his- deathly face
and limp figure Mary had too close a
view, she having been carried off her
post of vantage by the surging of
the crowd in its fresh excitement.
That too significant pallor and still-
ness sent a long -remembered shudder
through her; it was a sight she •was
to recollect, in horror, at a more
tepse time than even the present one:
Instantly -he. was hurried away -pres-
ently in the full, yet unheeded, view
of Bella -to the first house at the
beam -seas and the sheer weight• of
wind was putting the stout Night
Queen unpleasantly close , to, the lim-
it of her endurance. A few inches
further heeling over under press of
sail,or a couple of oceanlurchers
higher than usual, and over she must
have gone. Those persona• who were
on the harbour -side of - the crowd
threw swift glances -from one frail
craft to another, momentarily expect-
ing that some disaster would happen
to one or both of them, Mary was
one of these, in thought. Her new
position made it easy for her "to
glance to and from boat to boat; and
while she, who had as yet but little
knowledge of seafaring matters, gaz-
ed in deep alarm at the outgoing one,
her silent prayer was as fervent as
her trust In divine .protection
great. rn the meantime the har
wall by the roadway was topped,
excited heads, arms and shoulders,
mostly belonging to persons from Up-
per Town and New Town; so were
all the windows in The Row and the •
straggling shops and houses further
on. Amongst these was the agitated
face of Bella; who had now realized
what an "exhibition she had made of
,herself" in that hysterical spell on
the jetty. Partially in consequence of
this her tears were flowing- freely, but
more because of the danger in which
the .Night Queen was threshing its
way out to the rescue; for Bella
knew, as she narrowly watched the
boat, that'it was likely to go over,at
'any moment. What if she had flirted
with Bob Aplin? What if, in weak
moments, during. Derreck's occasion-
al voyages and quite unsuspected by
him, she had even given Aplin en-
couragement, to the extent of unlic-
ensed conversation? -had she not
still "kept him at arm's length," and
always loved her husband far ' too
much ever to be unfaithful to him?
That was why she had now no eyes
for anything but Derreck's danger.
Aplin' might go to the bottom of the
harbor there and then; and Bella
would be sorry for him, his old folks
and his sister. But all her attention,
all her worry and all that half-con-
scious prayer within her would be for
Derreck, out there in that wild sea
beyond the pier -head.
At the same time, by, the further
part of the harbour -wall, Mrs. Kings -
worth stood, as closely watching her
son's boat as Bella was, upbraiding
openly everybody and thing that she
could think of, in her heart calling
all the other- men cowards for- not
going out in Derreck's stead; yet in
no -wise forgetting the open door of
her shop, across the road behind her
and quite ready' to "zlip in" to the
needs of any chance customer who
entered. Whether or nether husband

the harbour now surrounded by all
classes of persons. From elegant
firesides, as from tarred nets and
washtubs, they had come pell-mell,
quickly to be just so many humans,
all actuated by the same intense
feelings -wonder, fear, charity in a
passion, conflicting desires, and that
common trait of the spectator, the
absorbing wish to direct where he

with bare arms and heads, and here

the gathering was naturally exhilarat-
ed by the rush of wind and seas -a
nature -movement that never fails to
communicate some of itself to healthy
humans. •
It was a fine sight, Bella saw it
as such, and for a moment she was

those recent tears, the drink and hy-

she miserable and growing more so
as she watched Derreck and Mary at
the head of the crowd, the while she
became conscious of a dim dislike of
something in what was so .fixing her
whole attention. Yet it all seemed
to -be so natural and so simple -ex-
cept to ;Mary, who was beginning to
feel curious little touches of. guilt
and shame which was hardly shame
--that barely anyone else thought of
singling out Derreck and the tall,
fair girl as a two -fold object of spe-
cial consideration. To both of them
it was no more than just the right
thing to' do, and. he knew that her
mind was as pure on• it all as ever
had been the mind of a woman in
love. As the involuntary figure -heads
of the pier throng,• it was inevitable
that some persons, who knew them
well and had witnessed that scene
when the cork -jackets were put on,
should contrastthe wife with his
friend of wife and husband; also that
in the minds of a few of the elders,
who commonly ,spoke of Derreck in
his step -father's name, there should
be a toueh of ordinary, passing re-
gret, such as, "'Twas a pity young
Kingsworth hadn't a -married ole
Milroy's nice." Even this was most-
ly due to the physical appearance of
Mary and Derreck together. But they
did not know of that shamed wife's
face at the window there. The small
ins and outs of her mind -which was
now feeling itself snubbed in a pe-
culiar way -the believiees and the
doubtings, both of sellsand others;
the little pieces of strength today,
which became weaknesses on the
morrow; the fine resolutions, as to
self -governance and service to Der-
reck, made in times of sobriety and
penitence, to be forgotten or dubbed
foolish when drink or some natural
inconsistency came along and chang-
ed her opinion: all these traits were
unknown to those outside judges of
the situation. Yet there was no
denying it; Bella knew it and had
lately, in her weak way, cast about
her for some means of putting a new
face on the matter -she was a but-
terfly, not as far as men were con-
cerned; but in all other things, such
as aim in life, fixity of purpose, atti-
tude of mind in a given effai>;,, even
down to the pledging of her word in
trivial matters, she had always been
a piece of human thistledown.
Now she gazed particularly at
Mary, involuntarily remembering how
they had made each other's acquaint-
ance at 'the head of the jetty there,
also that' wonderful brightening of

rpind or stronger heart would at once
have known to be jealousy --and of
the strong nature; that lay behind the
meeting ofthose t%vo crowds at the
juncture of the roadway and the jet*
ty. Bella saw the surging of the ex-
cited' people; she took in all that
was spectacular in the affair. But
instantly all her faculties were fixed
afresh on the handsome pair, about
whom, es they now talked to each
other, the gathering moved so heart -
fully, and at whose heels the drip-
ping rescued came -trophies of his
courage and skill brought as guer-
dons .to her high, awarding sense of
duty and commendation of his action.
Yes,' to her; in a hurried, muddled,
heaped-up sort of 'manner Bella saw
all this -saw that Mary was getting
what •ought to have been •hers; was
carrying it in that "lady -like: way of
hers," as she (Bella) could not have
carried it, and (the wife thought,
with a flash of generosity which of-
ten marked her doings and opinions)
was more deserving of it all than she
herself could ever be now. It was
such a biting draught of the gall -
dregs of loss and conscious impot-
ence as Bella had never before Last:
ed, as no happening of less.spectacu-
lar and dramatic , power could have
carried into her mind. The ,wild,
foam -ridden sea; the 'spray -washed
pier; the turbulent harbour; the wind
battering at the window -panes; the
neutral browns, greys and blue -
greens of it all; the two parts of
that converging spread of human
eagerness and enthusiasm; that re-
cent passing of death, almost close
enough to chill the unheeding - all
were alike unnoticed by Bella, as
were those deeper significances
which did not touch her personally.
During some two or three minutes
she was a strong woman centered on
the most vital point in her life.
Yet it was not Derreck's fault, nor
was it Mary's, that they should be
together at such, a time, in such cir-
cumstances, side-by-side and con-
spicuous to all, although loosely
shouldered by others, when Bella
ought to have been, in her friend's
place. Despite Mary's subdued pride
in the moment and the occasion and
Derreck's returned pleasure in the
whole affair, it . was not in their
thoughts that they were "makinga
show of themselves" -as some per-
sons said afterwards -nor that the
shameful wife was peeping obliquely
at them from between the edge of
her bedroom -curtain and the window -
frame, the while her heart burnt as
she saw herself vaguely injured and
aggrieved by what was . ,going for-
ward.
In the waning light, for gloaming
was •, beginning to deepen, Bella
watched the roadway crowd mingle
with those who came from, the old
pier, as the latter made their way on
to• the quay -road, without a thought
that they were. making a triumphal
procession; although Derreck now
felt, in a way, that this was the very
stuff of which life was made in its
heights. Bella heard a great shout
of praise and approbation go 'up from
near her own front -door to the foot
of the jetty, then spread along the
jetty itself, behind those centre piec-
es on whom her eyes were so intent-
ly fixed that - even while she was
again vividly conscious of the w)iole
concourse of animated faces. flying

from the schooner, knew that 'there
was not much weight to be attached
to this oft -used phrase of Mrs- Kings-
-worth's; not but that she was glad,
very glad in her way, to see Derreck
still safe on his feet. Her drawback
in all such matters was that neither
religion, reverence nor gratitude had
much share in her composition. In
some proof of this it was often re-
marked afterwards that "although
her long-sufferin' husband had gone
through the zame dangers and dez-
arved the zame praise as her zon,
zshe had neether look nor word vor
him." No, to her first son, her only
surviving child, she had given her
all; and the wormwood of her life
was that "'ee was ztill may a bit of

Mrs. Kingsworth could never forget
and always had near her tongue in
one form or another. Even now, be-
fore that six -worded, half -meant
"thanks" had more than died off her
lips, the sight of Mary at Derreck's
side was enough to make his mother
lean sd'ine way across- him, towards
Mary, and exclaim in that quick, in-
cisive manner of hers, to the sudden

"Oh, me dear, that
you ought to bin in

"Mother." It was one of
rarely uttered sharp cautions; and,
together with his eye -signals that
strangers were at their• elbows, it
had the desired effect. He had stop-
ped his mother's utterance entirely
for Mary's sake; but not soon en-
ough to prevent a sharp flush in the
girl's pale cheeks. And Bella saw
that 'glow; she knew her mother-in-
law very well, and a right prompting
that came of this knowledge, that
flush and the situation generally -and
abrupt instinct, springing from be-
yond the reach of her intelligence,'
made her divine somewhat the cause
of Mary's agitation. Like a flash the
incident set Bella's mind off at a
tangent. That quick brewing of vine-
gar was in abeyance; the budding de-
termination became as nought and
was trust into the background. Bella
was her true self again. She might
resent Mary's being so much one
with Derreck on such an occasion;
but, side-by-side yvith some real love
far the girl, there was in her heart
far too much stropgej hatred of Mrs.
Kingsworth for her to allow the old
woman even the briefest and simp-
lest of triumphs where she was con-
cerned. Besides, she had been out
of this pageantry all too 'long; a few
minutes more and it would apparent-
ly all be over. Here was a chance
to snatch a small share at the last
moment -a theatrical share. So, true

were set up last winter in each of
the thirteen mobilization divisions of
the Dominion, under the sponsorship
of the, Agricultural Employment Divi-
sion of his Department; have been
doing a good job. The. Committees
have close contacts with the armed
forces and have been -successful in
seeuring the release of men. • Since
July lst of this year, more than 5,000
applications for the release of farm
workers have been reviewed.
The Committee consist of provin-
cial directors of Farm Labour, Re-
gional Employment Advisers, repre-
sentatives of Mobilization Boards, • •
and representatives of the armed
forces, and are thus aided by men-
who
enwho are conversant with, the prob-
lems of agriculture, including those
of farm labour. -
While the • Committees deal mainly
with farm workers, they also advise
in some areas on the release of men
for logging, fishing, and food process-
ing plants. The Committees also ad-
vise farmers and others in basic in-
dustries on the procedures involved '
in securing men from the Services
who are anxious to take up work in
any of these dines.
