The keeper offered him only short commands and asked only official questions. The men divided the watches evenly day and night. Each stood his trick, called the other promptly, and did not mention again the matter of the oilskin package or Norman‘s collapse the evening of the storm. Norman did not resent silence. He knew that the other was not a man who bore grudges; Stockâ€" ing considered him a coward . .. he had told him so plainly . . . but in regard to the bundle of papers, Norâ€" men felt ily that Delong had conâ€" vinced th?;eeper. "So long as she holds like this," Captain Stocking grumbled as he clanged down the coal stoop, "it‘H be twentyâ€"four hour trick and no watch below. Nor‘eas‘! A nor‘easter‘s a dirty wind, always." It fell with a persistent spatter, broke off, suggesting that it was finished forever, and recommenced with refreshed vigor. Day and night its fingers drummed an intermittent tattoo upon the slate roof of the house, upon the drenched sand graes of the gullied beach, upon the inclinâ€" ed and slippery sides of the white tower. Now and then, when the lower mists parted, frenzied clouds were seen streaking out of the northeast, for the wind bad returned to that quarter. CHAPTER XHI Jim Nelsons says "no" James Delong spent four days at Blind Man‘s Eye. For seventy damp, almost windless hours, a pasty fog hung about the coast, shutting out land and watgr, magnifying all sounds until even Sue Stocking‘s voiâ€" ce possessed the bravado of a seâ€" cond mate‘s bellow. The fog signal cannonaded faithfully in a windâ€" mouthed uproar. Between times rain fell. D. Bohlender 21 Erb Street West THE MARKED MAN A Romance of the Great Lakes BY KARL W.

"How‘s it look on my reports?" he demanded of Captain â€" Stocking. "How‘s it look, lighthouse getting out first to a wreck in the coast guard‘s territory? He had no busiâ€" mess piling up out there!" He had asked Captain Parish to telephone his brother Fritz from the lifeâ€"saving station. The coast guardsâ€" man did it grudgingly. He blamed Delong for many of the week‘s unâ€" reasonable happenings. Captain Stocking agreed with that. The whole neighborhood of Blind Man‘s Eye would have been spared much unpleasantness if this Jim Delong had stayed ashore in Grand Haven in the first place. He supâ€" ported Captain Parish fully when the latter refused to use the woast guard boat for taking the lawyer to Madrid ‘‘Daren‘t leave the post in thick weather," the keeper explained. "Noâ€" body dares, Parish or anybody else. Except Sutton. He ain‘t liable to the gover‘ment. Whyn‘t you ask Sutton to take you?" _ "L will toâ€"morrow." It was Tuesday night. "IIF get away toâ€"morrow if 1 have to walk." "Tut!" Captain Stocking answered. "So you don‘t like it here? Well, it‘s no place for white pants, that‘s a fact. Folks around here got to work." . â€" _ Delong had sat idly the first day after his wreck, unable to stand beâ€" cause of his sprained ankle. Captain Stocking remained stiffly polite to his guest; Sue made up for it with a pronounced cordiality. It was only after she demanded it on the second day that the keeper cut two straight cedar staffs, stripped them of bark, rubbed them down with beach sand, and presented them ungraciously to Delong for crutches. Delong managed to use themâ€"a part of that afternoon. The third day, as a result, he conld not walk at all. While Sue Stocking read aloud, he sat impatiently in the lighthouse parlor. ‘"Thanks," Delong answered, "let her lie where she is now. Ill find a canpenter in Madrid Bay. He can make her fit to fMat, then tow her to the harbor." "There she be," Captain Parish said sourly when his men completed their job, "that‘s all my crew is sup posed to do, according to law . . all and a lot more . . . just drag her up on land." Her upper workings hung badly smashed. "I often work," Delong answered , Jsilence, addressed hor fathor‘s helper only when such practical needs as "I‘ve come up her to ask you someâ€" thing. And I expect a decent answer." "A decent look‘s more than I‘ve got for a week." the boat put off!" "Why talk?" He faced her furiâ€" ously, his blue eyes hard as pebbles. "I‘m not putting my self up for a hero. 1 tried to go. I missed the boat. I may be ashamed, God knows I am, but it‘s no business of yours or anyâ€" body else." "Erickson, where did you find Mr. Delong‘s packet?" "Up the beach." "Was it buried?" "What makes you ask that?" "You told Mr. Delong that some one else found it, and he told me. He told me more than that. He said that he knew who did it. Did you tell him?" Norman was surprised when Sue Stocking walked out on the castiron deck beside him. Her face had colorâ€" ed from climbing the stairs, a dis tinct amiability had come back to her voice. "Hello," she said briskly. "Hello!" Norman answered. Her nonchalance angered him, afâ€" ter all this time. He returned his attention to the lake. A low black freighter smoked greasily along the skyâ€"line. He watched it pass under the dropping sun. "Norman Erickson," Sue began. "More than you deserve, Erickson. Do you expect me to fall on your neck?" It‘ll be a long time before 1 forget the fadeâ€"out you did when "Who did bury it?" "You try td find it out, Miss Sue. Ask your father, or Sutton, or Parish, or Baker . . . maybe some of them know!"* * ? "I did ask Baker." "And\ what did he say ?" + "He saw yow hide it. Then you became scared . . . . nothing unusual in that . .. and you dug it up again." Norman looked unsurprised. "That‘s a real neat explanation. What does Delong think of that?" "You‘re a fussy boy, Erickson:. I ruined my young ankles climbing ninetyâ€"one steps to talk to you. Heaven knows I‘ve stood enough . . ." "You have? What‘about me? What have I stood?" Norman saw that Sue‘s face flushed, and not from the climb. When she spoke again, herâ€" voice was calmer. ‘"Think? He thinks you‘re a little tin skipper on wheels." "I‘m glad some one does." .‘But he‘s a lawyer. Lawyers al ways have funny ways of working things out. They ‘beat â€"around the compass and don‘t get anywhere. What he thinks make no difference.

He would tell her she was a meddâ€" ling young woman, a chunk of Janâ€" uary ice, a girl no Erickson would. take a second look at. And some day before he left Blind Man‘s Eye, he would bring Julie Richaud, and ask Sue Stocking to look at a nice, agreeâ€" able, redâ€"cheeked farm girl out of the Canadas. Catâ€"eye McGoogan had been right when he said it was poor lighthouse business to clutter up the reservation with a woman. Half the difficulty since he came here began with Sue Stocking.
