While earthly justice was balked and tbe pursuit of man rendered vain relatives, friends and acquaintances oi tbe three forbear to ask whe be: TTaawnn dirt not P*?C5 an awful DUt' ishmeat npoa them. Oa that terrible night, when the stanoh ship, carried far from he C3nrse by fierce storms and hopilessly lost in the densest of fogs, struck on the treacherous and ragged rooks oi - Sea Bird reef, none fought harder mere desperately and mote persistently to save tbeh o#n lives than tut young man and the two women. In those boon of terror, whio': seemed centuries long to all who pass ' ed through them and li"td to relate - - * tt their experience#, ajy aat^wu, nn bel and Lulu Rowland struggled f ji their lives as taough they dared nut die. With almost fcuporbuman might they, inexperienced as they were with easels, climed the wind-whipped rigglng and clung with the tensity ol despair and horror to tbe ropes until their senses were benumed and on? by one they were beaten by tbe piti less gale into the hungry, leaping sea wbioh engnlfed them. Was their terrible fate a fitting flaal to tbe olosing chapters of tbeir lives? those who are acquainted have asked one another. "Well, I guess it is for the best that it happened thai way, for I was going to disinherit them both any way," H L. Rowland, a prosperom business man of Oznard, father of tbe fugitive girls, is said to have declared when In his grief and shame he was Informed of tbe flight of bis children and of their tragio death at almost the same time. The same day lie received a tele gram reading', "Girls' bodies here, come and identify them," he had ' been hapj&ed a letter from Boy Haz sud tettfog him that Mabel and Lulu had fltd northward from San Francis oo with htm on the Valencia.

Both men hastened to Seattle anc thence to Vlotona, where tbe real:zi Hon of all of their fean was experiecoed in tbe identification of the deid Both knew at a glacci tbe body o( Mabel Rowland. Though death had sealed her lip; her father knew m >re surely tban il she herself had confessed lb chat she had plotted wltb R >y Hazz ird to takt Lila fiom Loi Angeles and from the jurisdiction of California courts thai #E.

Too late the father learned thai Mabel, two years Lulu's senior. itstead of befriending her sister, lr fl 1 enced her to flight rather thin remair in Lot Aogeles and give her tesiimooj against her empkyerin a suit whicb had been brought against him by the ?

The oo operation of Mabel was early securer^ R)y accomplishing this him lelf. It was represented to her that Lulu might fl;e the country with him and that they might live in British Columbia or anywhere their fancy sboulr cioose. They would have money in plenty.

In thelr modest, oomfortable home, DU 1j do ouutiu nups ju -cin xj .'o n.u geles, M*bel persuided Lulu to consent to flight with Boy Hazzard. She was youog end romantic, and tbe elder sister painted a bright future for the girl. They should go, the three of them, to the north; a splendid ocean Toyape awaited them and Bights aud scenes 1q lands they had only dreamed of. The younger girl was soon brought to content, and UDy Hazzird made tbe (lsns for tbe journey that was to save Ms father from proseoution an j possible rnln and dlsgraoe.

Wltb no witness I to inform the father of the flight of bis girls, on January 18 they left Los e ADgeles for San F -ancisoo, where they r were joined by Hrzzird, who bad gone d on the dav previous to secure passage u no the Valencia, which, he knew f would carry them far beyond pursuit t by human law in a few hours. * Oa the ship's register their names j i were entered as Mr, West, M ss Mar t tin and Miss Sampson. Mabel, for t the purpose of concealmsnt, was '"Miss t Sampson" and Luiu was "Miss Mar- i tin." Their relationship to Hazzird, i 1 or '"West," was not discovered by their fellow passengers until the Yal- < encta bad struok the rooks and was I pounding herself to pieces upon them i The Rowland girls occupied state ( room 18, next to that occupied by ; Professor Bunker and his family.
