The News submits that the council’s conduct in regard to the tenders is without precedent, and challenges the council to cite an instance where, after tenders have al] been opened and read in public, a city engineer has been then invited to put in a tender. The council’s action eliminates every atom of fairness from the procedure, and makes a mockery of the hardships, expense and inconvenience which the workingmen went to in order to figure on the jobs. As one man scathingly put it: ‘‘They sent enough of us up there to figure on the job, to have clkared the Jand while we were there. Now it appears that our work was all in vain. There was no intention to award it to the lowest bidder.” If the city engineer's department is to be put in possession of the men’s figures before being asked to tender it makes a mockery of the whole business. PASSING COMMENT In undertaking the erection of an $18,000 church building, the Methodists of Prince Rupert display their faith in the future of Prince Rupert as wel! as their faith in Methodism. An investigation shows that Mr. Borden’s Cabinet does not con- tain a Presbyterian representative. Neither has it a farmer. Martin Burrell who grows fruit, calls himself a horticulturalist. With the Presbyterians and the farmers, Jeft out, how can Mr. Borden look on his Cabinet as representative of Canada. t~~—~— Letters to the Editor ~~~~+ A STATION MAN'S PROTEST AGAINST A RAW DEAL Dear Sir,—As one of a gang of twelve men who bid on the clearing of Woodworth Lake, I wish the people of Prince Rupert to understand the kind of a deal the council gave us, and the public as well. The city council invited us to Jook the work over and many of us made the hard trip to Woodworth Lake, sleeping out in the open over night and came back and put in our tenders on this work, believing the council] intended to Jet the work to the Jowest bidder. We have no fault to find if Shreiber & Co., or anyone else, underbid us, but, from their procedure at the meeting at which they opened | the bids, we are very wel] satisfied that they did not intend to Jet the work to station men or anyone else in order to cover up their tracks. They have been willing to sacrifice the station man element and the contracting public by inviting them to Jook over this work, organize gangs, figure upon it, and submit tenders. There were many of us who bid on this work. It took more than half an hour to open and read all the tenders, during which time the City Engineer and Alderman Hilditch sat at the council table. When the Jast tender was finally opened and read, an inquiry was made of the City Engineer as to where his tender was. He did not reply, but Jooked in the direction of Alderman Hilditch, who rese to his feet with the amazing explan- ation that they had forgotten to bid. We ask if it is possible for a man to listen to the reading of thirty-five competitive bids and not realize until the Jast bid was read that he had, intended to bid but had for- gotten? And, mind you, Colone! Davis did not commit himself to the statement that he had forgetten. If he forgot, we believe he was instructed to forget. After this they passed a resolution asking the Engineer to submit a tender as to what the city can do this for in days’ labor on Tuesday next. We believe that they fully intended to do this on days’ labor al] the time and that they were afraid to bid themselves unti) they knew our figures and that the whole thing is a farce and the whole proposition of bidding was a put up job on the public and at our expense. There was absolute harmony among them al] which is unusual. We are largely citizen laboring men of this town, but we prefer to take work-on contract where we are paid for what we do rather than the time it takes to do it, but we do not Jike to be made monkeys of by asking us to bid when there was no intention of Jetting a contract.

It was of the safety-pin order, but made of gold and ornamented with small emeralds set as a four-leafed shamrock “Is the maker's name on the s¢ “No. I fancy that this craft was rigged on board ship for harbor cruis in.” Brand passed a hand wearily across his forehead “I wish I had not been so precipi- ltate,” he murmured. “That man had papers on him in all likelihood.” “You couldn't have stood it, mate. It was bad enough for me It must ha’ bin hell for you.” “Perhaps th baby’s clothes are marked.” “That’s the chance. She was well rigged out” Brand cast the sh loose. The monster slid off into the green depths. A noiseless procession of dim forms rushed after the carcass. The birds, shrill with disappointment, darted off to scour the neighboring sea. Beyond the damaged boat, bumping against the rock, and the huge jaws, with their rows of wedge-shaped teeth, naught remained to testify to the drama of the hour save the help- less baby on which the head-keeper was waiting so sedulously. Already the signal “Doctor wanted” was fluttering from the lighthousé flagstaff. it would be noted at the Land’s End and telegraphed to Pen- zance. The morning would be well advanced before help could reach the |}Gulf Rock from ashore. | When Brand and Spence entered | Jones's bedroom they found him hard | at work washing the child's clothing. “She's asleep,” he said, jerking his |head towards a bunk. “I gev’ her @ pint of mixture.

Now it happens that I can af- ford to adopt the child, if she lives, and is not claimed by relatives. It is almost a duty imposed on me by events. When the doctor comes, therefore, I purpose asking him to see that she is handed over to Mrs. Shep- pard, the nurse who looks after my own little girl. I will write to her. My turn ashore comes next week. Then I can devot. some time to the necessary inguiries.” Jougs made no protest. He kuew that Brand's suggestion was a good one. And he promised silence wit regard to the fight with the shark Men in the lighthouse service are quick to grasp the motives which cause others to avoid publicity. They live sedate, lonely lives. The noise the rush, the purposeless activities of existeuce ashore weary them. They ve been known to petition the Trin- ty Brethren to send them back to lated stations when promoted to ties where the pleasures and ex- citements of a town were available. , Having determined the immediate future of little “EH.

The doctor would be on the rock by the time breakfast was ended and the letter to Mrs. Shep- pard written. When the doctor did arrive he shook his head dubiously at first sight of the child. “I don't know how she is a mere skeleton,” he said Brand explained matters, an at his theory. lived.

Of course, this infant has an exceptionally strong constitution or she would have died days ago. How- ever, you have done right so far. will see to her proper nourishment during the next few days. It is a most extraordinary case.” Jones managed so well that the child’s garments were dry and aired. Wrapped in a clean blanket, she was lowered into the steamer’s boat, but the doctor, preferring to jump, was soaked to the waist owing to a slip on the weed-covered rock. The crew of the tug boat bailed out the derelict and towed her to Pen- zance. That evening a fisherman brought a note from Mrs. Sheppard. Among otb- er things, she wrote that the baby’s clothes were beautiful's made and of a@ very expensive type. She was fev- erish, the doctor said, but the condl- tion of her eyes and lips woud ac count for this, apart. from the effects of prolonged exposure. Brand read the letter to his mates when the trio were enjoying an even ing pipe on the “promenade,” the out er balcony under the lantern. “S'pose her people don’t show up,” observed Jim, “what are you going to yn,” said Brand. hers gazed at him with sur- prise. The prompt announcement was unexpected. “I have told you about the fabled land of Lyonnesse lying there beneath the sea,” he went on, pointing to the dark blue expanse on whose distant confines the Scilly Isles were silhouet- ted by the last glow of the vanished sun. “Well, the name of the only person who escaped from that minor deluge was Trevillion. It is suitable and it accords with the initial of her probable surname.” “Oh, I see,” piped Jones. His voice always high-pitched, became squeaky when‘his brain was stirred. “That’s O.K. for the ‘T,’” remarked Jim, “but what about the ‘E’?” Eli- zabeth is a nice name when you make {t into bessie.” ot “1 think we should keep up the idea | of the Arthurian legend.

He went within to attend to the lantern. In five minutes the great eyes of the liz ard, the Longships and the Seve: Stones Lightship were solemnly star ing at their fellow-warden of the Gul!

CHAPTER IIL THE SIGNAL At the foot of a long flight of step: leading from the boat quay to the pla cid waters of Penzance harbor a stoutly built craft was moored.

The man was scarred and blistered by wind and wave until he had at- tained much outward semblance to his craft. looked reliable. They were sturdy and strong; antiquated, perhaps, and greatly in want of a new coat; but shaped on lines to resist the elements together for years to come. Ben Pol- lard and his pilchard-driver, Daisy, were Cornish celebrities of note. Not once, but many times had they been made immortal — with the uncertain immortality of art—by painters of the Newlyn school The girl, an animated cameo, to which the shabby picturesqueness of Old Ben in his patched garments and old Daisy in her unkempt solidity sup- plied a fitting background, merited the tacit approval she received from the pipe-smokers, Flaxen-haired, blue-eyed, with a face of a delicate, flower-like beauty which added to its mobile charm by the healthy glow of a skin brightened and deepened in tone by an abiding love of the open air, she suggested, by her attire, an artistic study of the color effects derivable from the daringly trustful little plant which gave the boat its name, She wore a coat and skirt of green cloth, lightly hemmed and cuffed with dark red brajd. Her large white hat was trimmed with vel- vet of a tone to match the braid, and her neatly fitting brown boots and | Ben?” Nevertheless, man and boat| j gloves Were of the right shade, Be- neath her coat there was a glimpse of a knitted jersey of soft white wool, this being a tribute to the season, though a winter in Lyonnesse can usu- ally shrug its comfortable shoulders at the deceitful vagaries of the Rt viera. That she was a young person of some maritime experience was visfble to the connoisseurs above at a glance. She was busily engaged in packing the spacious lockers of the Daisy *with cer- tain stores of apples, oranges and vegetables—ranging from the lordly new potato (an aristocrat at that time of the year’ to the plebeian cabbage and her lithe, active figure moved with an ease born of confidence ip the ‘atic principles of gravitation as codified and arranged by a rocking boat. Pollard, too, was overhauling his gear, seeing that the mast was secure ly stepped and the tackle ran free. Whilst they worked they talked, and, of course, the critics listened. “Do you think the weather will hold, asked the girl over her shoul der, stooping to arrange some clus- ters of daffodils and norcissus so that they should not suffer by the lurch of some heavy package when the boat heeled over. “The glass be a-fallin’, sure, missy said the old fellow cheerily. “but wi’ the wind backin’ round to the norrard }it on’'y means a drop o' wet.” At others, you | “You think we will make the rock /in good time?” | “We'm do our best, Miss Enid.” She sat up suddenly. | “Don’t you dare tell me, Ben Pol- |lard, that after all our preparations we may have to turn back or run for inglorious shelter into Lamorna.” Her mock indignation induced a }massive grin. “A mahogany table | breaking into mirth,” was Enid’s pri- vate description of Ben's face when he | smiled. |; “Ee knaw |} most,” he said. | blow, ’ee knaw.” | “And not so slow, eh, Ben? Really, you and the Daisy look more tubby every time I see you.” Thus disparaged, Pollard himself and his craft. “Me an’ Daisy 1] sail to Gulf Light the coast as well as “Further go, stronger defended quicker’n any two other tugs in Pen- zance, missy Her be a long run at this time o' year, but you’m get there all right, I ‘xpect.

Any reflection on the spanking powers of his pil chard-driver would rouse Ben instant ly “As if I didn’t know all you could teach me,” she cried, “and as if any- one in all Cornwall could teach me better.” The old fisherman was mollified. He looked along the quay. “Time we'm cast off,” he sug- “Miss Constance be a plaguey long time fetchin’ them wraps.” “Oh, Ben, how can you say that? She had to go all the way to the Cot- tage. Why, if she ran—” “Here she be,” he broke in, “an’ she b’aint runnin’ neither. Her’s got a young man in tow.” What announcement would straigh- ten the back of any girl of nineteen like unto that? Enid Trevillion turn- en and stood upright. “Why, it's Jack!”’ she cried, wav- ing a delighted little hand. “So it be,” admitted Pollard, after a surprised stare. “When I look land- | ward my eyes b'ain’t so good as they | Was.” He stated this fact regretfully.
