Annette saw only the ' picturesque side of Holies, and he was tentatively engaged on the sp?.^. "1 know the Newfoundland coast bottor'u 1 know the chart of me own ; face," confessed the pilot In a soft, pleading voice. "Seeing that I was horn In Straddle* Itock Cove an' lived there until I was old enough to run 1 away, 1 ought to." 1 Annette was romantic, and she anticipated Ills thoughts. "And you want to visit your <>id home again?" slio asked sympatlvotIcally. "Yes, ma'am, I'm dying to do that; been trying to get hack In the old "Oil, ISOOGLiUH! WHY L?ll> MILS HAl'PICNV" home port for well nigh twenty years, but what with huril hick an' other things I've always missed It.

Of course no one wanted a sailor with a game leg. an' I had to stay In i>ort until the season was too far advanc<Ml to go north. Then I shipped to the States ag'ln to keep from starving." Boggles limped a trllle yet from Ids broken leg, and one eye seemed to squint with dlat>olic cunning when you looked him squaro In the face, but Annette saw none of the ugly sides of the subjects she liked, and Boggles charmed her. Mr. I'lerce grumbled at the Nirgaln, but finally submitted. Pilots familiar with the north coast were scarce in Halifax, and the season was late anyway. "Well, if* for Annette's sake I'm up hero," he confessed, "and 1 suppose I shouldn't object if Annette approves." "lie looks honest, but a btt hanVtHul on the surface by too much contact with the world," ventured I)r. I^angdon, with a smile. "I think his story of !>eliig born and nurtured in Straddle Rock Cove is a myth, however. I doubt if there is such a place." "We must visit Straddle Rock CV>ve," said Annette positively one day. "Mr. Boggles"?she always dignified the old pilot with Mr.?"can guide us there. It's an immensely dangerous harbor, and no one can enter it In a storm except Mr. Boggles." "T'.nfrcrlfs m/i v br? nil " drnu'U?1 the doctor, "but I draw tho line at go!np into Straddle Rock Cove with him In a storm." Annette ignored tho Interruption. Mr. IMereo was bored with the whole trip, and ho was willing, to yield anything for peace. "You will visit tho cove, papa, where Boggles was l>orn?" Annotto continued. "You will make him happy again. lie's been dreaming of this trip for twenty years." "If you will bo satisfied to return home then we may run in the harl>or." craftily replied Mr. Pierce, anxious to shorten tho trip by striking any sort of a bargain. "Yes." rolliMn nt 1 v "nftnr o+nv there a few daj*s." Straddle Rook grow dally In Importance thereafter. It was the first definite point of entry for the yacht. Captain Reed looked the place up on tho charts. There was a group of small rocks off a dangerous point of the coast, locally known by the fishermen as Straddle rocks. They were marked "Dangerous" and "No Safe Harbor For Ships or Yachts." lie carried his Information to the owner and grumbled with mutinous intent. "Oh. It doesn't matter In the least, captain," retorted Mr. Pierce, annoyed by the now Interference. "Annetto Is persistent, and you must oblige her. Really, It's none of my affair." "But, sir, this man Boggles may wreck us." Mr. Pierce waved his hand entreatInglv. "Talk to AJinette," he murmured.

This was used In emergencies for the for ward searchlight. "We've got to keep a sharp lookout for leolrergs now." Captain Uecd had w-arnod, "and that forward searchlight must Ik? fixed up." Boggles dldu't know innch about u?vtylene gas. Neither did the first mate. Tltey tampered with the plant for two hours, and then a mullled explosion forward alarmed every memlier of the crew. It was the tirst unite who exclaimed IneotHM'ently: "The thing the tank exploded right In our faces. It was so sudden that I could not say how.'* Boggles couldn't explain, for 1k? was blinded and hts Ixxly was blazing like a human torch covered with pitch.* The eaptatn and Dr. Langdon squelohtxJ the flames, so the yacht was safe, and Annette, with two sailors, rescued Boggles from Incineration. Mr. IMerce was angry and IhxxxI to the point of saying: "IIow annoying! Any one tmrt?" "Boggles is pretty well done up," the doctor replied, scraping tlH* charred skin from the blackened face. "He's blind as a tmt for one thing, and"? Boggles groaned arsl stammer**! In a hoarse whisper: "I knew I'd never see Straddle Ilock Cove agMn. I might have knowed something would hapiK'u. (Jb. why didn't I stay away?" Captain 11?m*1 culled another meeting to consider the question of changing the yacht's course. "Mr. Boggles Is now iiM-upm'iiiuou,' no exclaimed, "and of course no mvo elm? Is familiar with tills coast." "That's ho," retorted Mr. Pierce, with sudden enlightenment. "Then we must return?at once." ' A malevolent light of >03' illumined hLs features. "Exactly," replied tin* captain. "1 shall order the eon rue changed." "Not today, captain," Interrupted Annette sweetly. "It siH'ins like-?like sacrilege to turn around and run home so soon after Mr. Haggles Is laid up. l?I think we slioukl keep on a day or two. There is some hope, l>r. I#ang?lon, Isn't there?" The doctor shook his head. "I'm sorry to dlsappoiirt you, Annette, but there's none. Boggles Is blind?totally blind, lie may in six months or a year recover some of his sight, but it Is a forlorn hope." Annette's face darkened. Mr. Pierce thought she was about to cry, and lie hastily said: "We might keep on tlx? same course for a day or two, captain, out of respect for Boggles, and"? "Yes, yes. certainly." Annette gave them I Kith a grateful smile, and the conference was ended. Boggles absorlied more attention now than before the nccUlcnt. Every one paid him deference, but that was partly because all, from the humblest to the highest. knew tliat the trip was to be abandoned tn a day or two. Hut Boggles didn't know, uud lie kept moaning: "I'll never see the Strnudle rocks ug'ln! If I could see 'em I'd die la peace! Ah, there tl>ey are! Are you here, ma'am? Ix>ok at 'em! Scb the sun oti 'em! Tlvere's where I was born?twenty, thirty, forty, lifty yours ago, ma'am!" "Oh, Iloggles!" moaned A in vet to in return. "Why did this happen?" New, the meeting of the cold breath from the north coast and the warm wind of the southern summer plays havoc with the sea at many points between Newfoundland and Labrador. Fierce elemental struggles of tin? atmosphere shake the sea and earth, and for days and nights ivo ship Is safe In those far regions. The Grayling was a stanch yacht, tint rather undersized for a cruise so far from port. When the wind struck her she danced lightly In the choppy seas, lsit as the storm develoi>ed she grew troubled and frightened. Boggles had recovered from his feverish delirium and was rational, lie hoard the storm and found an atom of consolation In It. It relieved his mind of tho weight pressing upon It. For a night and day the yacht drifted. Then In tl?e blackness of the second night the vortex of tho frightful storm was reached, with the craft ill prepared to meet It. The forward watch reported breakers ahead, and the Jagged outline of rocks was seen In vhe distant Imckground. The Grayling was drifting steadily toward them. It was a matter of an hour before she would strike. Annette heard the summons to propare for the worst. The two boats which were left would hold the crew and passengers, and there was no alternative Imf to trust their lives to the tender mercies of the breakers In them. "Hollos, you must rise and go with me," Annette said. "I'll lend you. We're drifting on the rocks." "What rocks?St raddle rocks?" "I don't know." laughed Annette hysterically. "It would be funny If they were." "No. ma'am, It wouldn't, for they're dangerous?very dangerous In a storm like this." "Oh. If yon could only see, Mr. Boggles, you would save us!" -fen, rd Mve you.

"Isn't Ik' blind?" snorted tlx> owner. "Y??s, we're all blind," answered the doctor meekly. Tt?o oriksh of the breakers on their right drowned all further conversation.

They're worse, much worse In this weather." "<?ood (Jod! TIhmi we're lost," groaned Mr. Pierce. "We can't live In anything worse than that." "Hush, pupa!" whispered Annette. "I think Boggles may know." The yacht yawed and swung wide of i the next line of breakers, tlxm faced the black towering rocks. Boggles held ber steadily toward them. There was l no ojHMilng. The s?ii dashed mountain high against their precipitous face. Tlx' white foam spattered the Ik>w of tlx? hont.
