The position is a hard one to fill, the problems of office being many and the city comprising several as yet, inharmonious elements. The pay $2,000 a year is not large. On the other hand, an opportunity presents itself to the right man to do a great work by putting the city’s finances on a sound footing by a successful debenture issue, by treating the city’s problems from a business, and not from a party point of view, and by bringing the several warring camps of citizens to a better mu- tual understanding. This town is chuck full of good fellows with a weakness for party politics. A good non-partisan Mayor who can help to save) DAILY EDITION.

Jewellers and Silversmiths HASTINGS & GRANVILLE STS. - VANCOUVER {Contract rates a eo THE P illar By Louis Tracy O Light Wherein Enid was completely mis- taken; she would never commit a greater error of judgment during the rest of her days. When Pyne quitted the kitchen his | ntent.was to reach Brand without de- lay. s he passed Mrs. Vansittart’s bedroom he paused. Something had delighted him immeasurably once the first shock of the intelligence had passed. He seemed to be trresolute in his mind, for he waited some time on the landing before he knocked at the door and asked if Mrs. Vansittart would |come and speak to him. “Are you alone?” she demanded, remaining invisible. “Yes,” he said. Then she appeared, with that bor- lrowed shawl still closely wrapped over her head and face. “What is it?” she said wearily. “You have had a letter from my uncle?” “Yes, a charming letter, but I can- not understand it. He says that some | very important and amazing event will {detain him in Penzance after we reach |the place. He goes on—but I will read iit to you. I am quite bewildered.” She took a letter from her pocket ;and searched through its contents un- ) ul she found a paragraph. She was }about to read it aloud when someone /eame down the stairs. It was one of | the officers, yet Mrs. Vansitiart was | 80 flurried that she dropped the sheet of paper and bent to pick it up before Pyne could intervene. “Oh, bother!” she cried. “I am | dreadfully nervous, even now that we are in no further peril. wish you to hear.” And she read: This is what “Nothing but the most amazing and unlooked for circumstances would cause me to ask you to postpone the date of our marriage for at least a month after you reach shore. This is not the time, nor are your present sur- roundings the place for telling you why I make this request. Suffice it to say that I think, indeed, I am sure, a@ great happiness has come into my life, a happiness which you, as my wife soon to be, will share.” The American, whilst Mrs. Vansit- tart was intent on her excerpts from his uncle’s letter, studied all that was visible of her face. That which he saw there puzzled him. She had suf- fered no more than others, so he won- dered why she wore such an air of settled melancholy. Throughout the lighthouse gloom was dispelled. The sick became well, the lethargic be- came lively. Even the tipplers of methylated spirits, deadly ill before, had worked like Trojans at the rope, as eager to rehabilitate their shattered character as to land the much-needed stores. What trouble had befallen this wo- man so gracious, so facile, s0 worship ful in her charm of manner and utter- ance during the years he had known her, that she remained listless when all about her was life and joyance, she, the cynosure of many eyes by her cos- tumes and graceful varriage, cowering from recognition? Here was a mys- tery, though she had repudiated the word, and a mystery which, thus far, defeated his sub-conscious efforts at solution. She lifted her eyes to his. Her ex- ression was forlorn, compelling pity by its utter desolation. “What does he mean?” she asked, plaintively. “Why has he not spoken |} clearly? Can you tell me what it 1s, this great happiness, which has enter- ed, strangely, into his Hfe and “Il have never met any man who knew exactly what he meant to say, and exactly how to say it, better than Cyrus J.’” said Pyne. “But he has written to you, surely, Does he give no hint?” “His letter is a very short one. To be candid, | have hardly made myself acquainted with its contents as yet.” “You are fencing with me. You know, and you will not tell.” Her mood changed so rapidly that Pyne was not wholly prepared for the attack. “It is a good rule,” he said, “never to pretend you can handle another man’s affairs better than he can han- dle them himself.” He met her kindling glance firmly, The anger that scintillated in her eyed almost found utterance. But this cle ver woman of the world felt that noth ing would be gained, perhaps a great deal lost, by any open display of tem: r. She laughed scornfully. “Mr. Traill is certainly the best judge of those worthy of his confi dence. Excuse me if I spoke heatedly Let matters remain where they are.’ “Just a word, Mrs. Vansittart. My uncle has written you fairly and squarely. He has not denied you hid confidence. If I understood you, he has promised it to the fullest extent.” “Yes, that is true.” “Then what are about?” He laughed in his careless way, to put her at her ease. She frowned meditatively. She, who could smile in such a dazzling fashion, had lost her art of late. . “You are right,” she said slowly. “I am just a hysterical woman, start ing at shadows, making mountains out of molehills. Forgive me.” As Pyne went up the stairs his re- flections took this shape: “The old man shied at telling her outright. I wonder why. He is chock full of tact, the smoothest old boy I ever fell up against. He thinks there may have been little troubles here, perhaps. Well, 1 guess he's right.” In the service-room he found Brand cleaning a lamp calmly and methodi- cally, All the stores had been carried downstairs, and the storeroom key given over to the purser, “I am glad you have turned up,” gaid the lighthouse-keeper. ‘“Oblige by opening that locker and taking k the articles I purloined recently, If the purser asks for an explanation, we quarreling THE DAILY NEWS | ten him the truth, ang say | am Will. | lig to eat this stuff now for my sins. Pyne noticed that Brand's own let ters lay in a small pile on the writing desk. With two exceptions, they were unopened. As a matter of fact, le had glanced at the superscriptions, saw) that they were nearly al! from stran gers, and laid them aside until night fell and the lighting of lamps} would give him a spare moment. | t} he ‘Tl do that with pleasure,” said the American, “but there's one (thing { want to discuss with you whist ther is a chance of being alone. My wn le} says he has written to you. “To me?” “Yes. It deals with a: matter too. It concerns bid “Mr. Traill has written to me about Enid?” repeated Brand stopping his industrious polishing to see if Pyne | were joking with him. “That's 80. See, here is his letter. It will tell its own story. (Guess you'd better read it right away.’ The young man picked up one of the sealed letters on the table and handed It to the other. Setting aside a glass chimney and a wash-leather, Brand lost no time in reading Mr. Traill's communication. Save that his lips tightened, and his face paled slightly, there was no out- ward indication of the tumult the written words must have created in his soul, for this is what met his as- tonished vision: important | “Dear Mr. Brand--I hope soon to make your acquaintance. It will be an honor to meet a man who has done so much for those near and dear to me, but there is one reason why I am anxious to grasp your hand which {s so utterly beyond your present know- ledge that I deem it a duty to tell you the facts, to prepare you, in a word. “Circumstances have thrown me in- to the company of Lieutenant Stan- hope. We had a kindred inspiration, He, I understand, is in effect, if not in actual recorded fact, the accepted suitor of your adopted daughter, known as Miss Enid Trevillion. I, although an older man, can share his feelings, because I am engaged to be married to Mrs. Vansittart, a lady whom you have, by God's help, res- cued. Hence, Mr, Stanhope and I have almos® lived together, ashore and afloat, during these troubled days. Naturally, he spoke of the girl he loves and told me something of her history. He described the brooch found on her clothing, and a Mr. Jones, retired from the lighthouse service, who was present when you saved the child from speedy death, informs me that her linen was marked ‘BR. T.’ “These facts, combined with the date and Mr. Jones’s description of the damaged boat, lead me to believe that | the girl is my own daughter, Edith! Traill, whom you have mercifully pre- served to gladden the eyes of a father who mourned her death, and the death of her mother, for nineteen years. “I can say no more at present. I am not making inferences not justi fied in other ways. Nor am I setting up a father’s claim to rob you of the affections of a beautiful and accom- plished daughter. I will be content, more than content, if she can give to me a tithe of the love she owes to you, for, indeed, in Mr. Stanhope and in all others who know you, you have elequent witnesses. “Yours most sincerely, “Cyrus J. Traill. “P.S. Let me add, as an after thought, that only my nephew and you have received this information. The agonized suspense which the ladies must have endured on the rock is a trial more than sufficient to tax their powers. If as | expect, Mr, Stanhope meets you first, he will be guided wholly by your advice as to whether or not the matter shall be made known to your Enid—to my Edith—before she lands,” Brand dropped the letter and placed his hands over his face. He yielded for an instant to the stupor of the In- telligence. Pyne, as Constance had done, came near to him and said, with an odd des- pondency in his voice: “Say, you feel bad about this. Guess you'll hate our family in future.” “Why should I hate anyone who brings rank and fortune to one of my little girls?” “Well,” went on Pyne anxiously, “she'll be Mrs. Stanhope, anyhow, be- fore she’s much older.” “That appears to be settled. All things have worked out for the best. Most certainly your excellent uncle and I shall not fall out about Enid, If it comes to that, we must share her as a daughter.” Pyne brightened considerably as he lcarnt how Brand had taken the blow, “Oh, bully!” he cried, “That's a clear way out. Do you know, | was beginning to feel scared. I didn't count a little bit on my respected un- cle setting up a title to Enid!” CHAPTER XVI, STEPHEN BRAND EXPLAINS They were interrupted. Elsie, with her golden hair and big blue eyes, pink cheeks and parted lips, appeared on the stairs. All that was visible was her head, She looked like one of Murillo’s angels. “Please, can Mamie 'n’ me see the man?” she asked, a trifle awed. She did not expect to encounter a stern- faced official in uniform, “What man, dearie?” he said, and instantly the child gained confidence, with that prompt abandonment to a favorable first impression which marks the exceeding wisdom of chil- dren and dogs. She directed an encouraging sotto voce down the stair: “Come right along, Mamie.” Then she answered, clasping the hand of Pyne extended to her, but eye- ing Brand the while: “The man who brought the milk.” She wondered why they laughed, but the lighthouse-keeper caught her up in his arms. “He has gone away, sweetheart,” he said, “but when he comes in the morn- Ing I shall send for you and you will see him. You are the little girl who was injured, eh? Are you getting bet- ter?” Elsie, having seen Mamie safely ex- tracted from the stair-way, became voluble, “My elbow is stiff, but it doesn’t hurt. I was feelin’ pretty bad ‘fore the milk came, but Mamie 'n’ me had a lovely lot, an’ some beautiful jelly. Fine, wasn't it, Mamie?” “'Squizzit!"” agreed Mamie, “I think I'd like being here if there was more room,” said the child, “An’ why isnt there any washin'? Mamie ‘n’ me is always bein’ washed ‘cept when we're here.” “Surely you have not kept your face clean as it is now ever since you | vened jeft the ship?” “On, fo,” put in Mamie. “We've just been rubbed with a hanky,” “And sent out to pay a call?” “Not ‘zackly,” said truthful Mamie. ‘Mr. Pyne told us to walt near the door—’ “That's an old story now,” inter. Pyne quickly. “Climb up on my shoulder and have a look at the sea. too,” “Wher did Mr. Pyne tell you?” whis- pered Brand, pretending to make a secret of it with Bisie. “There didn’t seem to be ‘nuff to eat,” she explained, seriously, “so Mr, Pyne kep’ a bit of biscuit in his pock- et, an’ Mamie 'n’ me had a chew every time we saw him.” “H'm,” murmured the man, glané- ing up at his young friend as he walked around the = trimming-staxe with the delighted Mamie. “I s: ppcse he asked you not to tell anybedy?” “We wasn't to tell Miss Constance or Miss Enid. An’ they told us we wasn't to tell him about the sweet stuff they put in our tea. That is all, Funny, isn’t it?” Brand knew that these little ones were motherless. His eyes dimmed somewhat. Like al) self-contained men, he detested any exhibition of sentiment. “IT say,” he cried huskily to Pyne, “you must escort your friends back to their quarters. No more idling, please.” “An’ you will really send for us to- morrow to see the milkman?” said Bisie. Notwithstanding his sudden gruffness, she was not afraid of him, She looked longingly at the great lamp and the twinkling diamonds of the dioptric lens. “Yes. I will not forget. now, dearie.” The visit of the children had given him a timely reminder, As these two were now, 80 had his own loved ones been in years that might not be re called. The nest would soon be empty, the young birds flown. He realized that he would not be many days ashore be- fore the young American to whom he had taken such a liking would come to him and put forward a more endur- ing claim to Constance than Mr. Traill made with regard to Enid. Well, he must resign himself to these things, though no man ever lost two daugh- ters under stranger conditions. When Pyne returned, Brand was ready for him. The struggle was sharp, but it had ended. “I would like you to read your un- cle’s letter,” he said. “I am clear in my own mind as to the right course: to adopt. If Mr. Traill wishes to win! Enid’s affections he will not take her} by surprise. Indeed, he himself re-| cognizes this element in the situation, | You will not rush away from Pen | zance at once, | take it?’ “No, sir,” said Pyne, with a delight- ful certainty of negation that caused) a smile to brighten his hearer’s face. ‘I may not get clear of the rock for) several days. Thé6re is much to place in order here. When the relief comes, | 1 must help the men to make things ship-shape. Meanwhile, Stanhope—or Constance, whom you can take into! your confidence-—will smooth the} way—” “No, sir,” interrupted Pyne, even more emphatically. “When you come | to know my uncle you will find that | he plays the game all the timo. If} Enid is to be given a new parent the! old one will make the gift. And that’s a fact.” Brand waived the point. | Good-bye, “The girls have plenty to endure} here without having this surprise! sprung on them,” he said. “I will write to Mr. Trail), and leave events ashore in his hands.” So, for a night and the better part) of a day, the pillar locked in its re-| cesses some new doubts and cogita- | tions. As between the two men a| stronger bond of sympathy was cre: | ated. Pyne, in those restless hours, | was admirably tactful. He talked a} great deal of his uncle. Soon, not only | Brand, but the two girls, seemed to be) well acquainted with a man they had | never met. With the morning tide the anarchy | of the waves ceased. The children! were brought to the lantern to wit-| ness a more majestic sight than the arrival of the “milkman,” With the} dawn the sun appeared, and the sea) seemed to sink into long-deferred slumber under his potency. The flood tide of the afternoon brought the unfailing tug; tewing the| Penzance life-boat. The crane was | swung out ard Jack Stanhope, as was! his right, was first to be hoisted to} the entrance and to exchange a hearty | hand grip with Brand. | Behind the lighthouse-keeper were | ranged many faces, but not that which} th@ sailor sought “Where is Enid?” he asked, after | the first words of congratulation were | spoken. “Have you told her?” i “No. Here is Mr. Pyne. He will| take you to the girls and tell you| what we have decided.” The two young men looked other with frank friendliness “When we have a minute to spare) you must take me to the gallery and} explain just how you worked trick,” said Stanhope. phore was to the point, but it omitted | details.” “That is where I have the pull of you,” responded Pyne with equal cor. | diality. “I don’t require any telling | about your work yesterday.” “Oh, people make such a fuss. What is there remarkable in guiding a boat through a rough sea?” “I may be wrong, but it looks a heap harder than swarming up a pole.” In such wise did young Britain and young America pooh-pooh the idea that they hac done aught heroic. Indeed, their brief talk dealt next with Enid, and Lieutenant Stanhope, R.N,, did not think he was outraging conventionality when he found Enid in the kitchen, and took her in his arma and kissed her. Constance and Pyne discovered that the tug as seen through the win- dow was a very interesting object. “You don’t feel at all lonesome?” he murmured to her, “Not in the least.” “It must do a fellow a heap of good to meet his best girl under such cir cupmstances,” “Mr. Stanhope and my sister have at each “Is it possible to catch up? The last few days on the rock ought to figure high in ayerages.” “Jack,” cried Constance, finding this direct attack somewhat discon certing, “did my father say that any arrangements were to be made for landing?"
