Ges DAILY EDITION. —— Turspay, Noy. 21 TINKERI In precisely the same way that the Hydro-electric by-. law was “tinkered up,” the City Council last night tinkered up the trunk sewer by-law. They passed a resolution giv- ing assurances that the city council will construct a tem- porary outlet to tide water, knowing that a resolution of that nature is not binding on any future council. They are trust- ing to the generosity of the next council not to queer the project, just as they are trusting to the Provincial Govern- ment, the Tsimpsean Power Co. and the citizens not to queer the hydro-electric scheme, until special legislation is put through to validate it. While it is morally certain that no future council will take advantage of the fact that last night’s resolution, not being embodied in the by-law, is not binding on them-—any more than no one wants to upset the hydro-electric by-law —how much better it would have been to have done the work properly in the first place? THE MORNING JOURNAL. Today The Journal which has hitherto been publishing as a semi-weekly evening paper, came out as a full fledged morning daily. This in the life of a newspaper is an aus- picious occasion, and corresponds to that period in the life of a boy when he dons his first long pants. Prince Rupert is not yet a Tom Tiddler’s ground for newspapers, but in laying first claim to the morning field, The Journal is advancing to a place of increased usefulness in the community and ultimate profit.

They were ; | se Enid. at Pillar By Louis Tracy O Light “Yes, miss.” interposed a safior at the door. “The skipper’s orders are: ‘Women an’ children to muster on the lower deck.’” . Then began a joyous yet strange’y pathetic procession, headed by Elsie and Mamie, who were carried down- stairs by the newly arrived lighthous men. The children cried and refused to be comforted until Pyne descended with them to the life-boat. The we- men followed, in terrible plight, net- | withstanding the wraps sent them on |the previous day.. Each, as they pass }ed Stephen Brand, bade him farewell land tearfully asked the Lord to bles him and his. Among them came Mrs. Vansittar . | Her features were veiled more close!’ than ever. Whilst she stood behini | the others in the entrance, her glance | was fixed immovably on Brand's face. No Sybilline prophetess could have | striven more eagerly to wrest the se |erets of his soul from its lineaments. Nevertheless, when he turned to het with his pleasant smile and parting words of comfort, she averted her eyes, uttered an incoherent phrase of thanks for his kindness, and seemed to be unduly terrified by the idea that ghe must be swung into the life-boat | by the crane. | She held out her hand. {and trembling. “Don't be afraid,” he said gontiy patting her on the shoulder as one might reassure a timid child. “Sit down and hold the rope. The basket cannot possibly be overturned.” Pyne, helping to unload the tremu- lous passengers beneath, noted the Jady’s attitude, and added a fresh mem- orandum to the stock he had already accumulated. “Who is that?” asked Brand from the purser, who stood beside him. “Mrs. Vansittart.” Brand experienced a momentary sur prise. “She seemed to) avoid me,” he thought, but the incident did not lin- ger in his mind. The life-boat, rising and falling on the strong and partly broken swell, re- quired the most expert management if the weary people on the rock were to be taken off in safety. When Constance and Enid, followed by Stanhope, reached the boat after giving Brand a farewell hug, there Was no more room. The crew pulled off towards the waiting vessel, and here a specially prepared gangway rendered the work of transhipment It was cold | easy. | Mr. Traill was leaning over the bul- | wark as the life-boat ranged alongside He singled out Pyne at once, and gave him a cheery cry of recognition. At first he could not distinguish Mrs, Vansittart, and, indeed, it must be confessed that he was striving most earnestly to descry one face which had come back to him out of the dis- tant years. | When his glance fell gn Enid, his hephew who was thinking how best to act under the circumstances, was assured that the tather saw in the girl the living embodiment of her mother. He thought it would be so. His own recollection of his aunt’s portraits had already helped him to this conclusion, and how much more startling must @ flesh and blood creation be than the effort of an artist to place on canvas the fugitive expression which constl- tutes the greatest charm of a mobile countenance. Enid, having heard so much about Mr. Pyne’s uncle, was innocently cur- lous to meet him. At first she was vaguely bewildered. The sumken eyes were fixed on hers with an intensity that gave her a momentary sense ot embarrassment. Luckily the exigen- tiles of the hour offered slight scope to emotion. All things were unreal, |out of drawing with previous experi- ences of her well-ordered life. The Irregular sway'"% of the boat and the tug seemed to typify the new phase. Pyne swung himself to the steam- er’s deck before the gaugway was |made fast, thereby provoking a loud | outcry from the deserted children, Grasping his uncle's hand, he said: “Wait until you read Brand's letter. No one else, knows.” So, Mr. Traill, with fine self-control, greeted Mrs. Vansittart affectionate- ly, and handed her over to a steward- ess, who took her to a cabin specially | prepared for her. Her low-spoken |Wwords were not quite what he ex- | pected. | “Don’t kiss me,” she murmured, |“and please don’t look at me, In my | present condition | cannot bear it.” | Relatives of the shipwrecked pas- | pengers and crew, many of whom were | waiting in Penzance were not allowed | on board, This arrangement was made by Mr. Traill afier consulting a | local committee organized to help the |}unfortunates who needed help £0 | greatly. The unanimous opinion was | expressed that a few lady members |}of the committee, supplied with an isp abundance of clothing, ete., would af- | ford prompt relief to the sufferers, | whilst the painful scenes which must follow the meeting of survivors. with % | their friends would cause confusion | and delay on the vessel. Pyne watching all these things, saw | that Mrs. Vansittart did not meet his /uncle with the eagerness of a woman restored to the arms of the man she was about to marry. She was distraught, aloof in her y ynanner, apparently interested only in w his eager assurance that she would find an assortment of new garments in the cabin. The millionaire himself was too flustered to draw nice distinctions be- tween the few words she spoke and what he expected her to say. When he quitted him he waiked towarda aughingly exchanging news and ban- | ler as if all that had gone before were events of a lively picnic. At last, Pyne introduced his uncle, and it a trying experience for this man eB fo wean face to face with his daugh- » In each quick flash of her de ot her smile tone nsome lighted eyes, in every | sweet voice, in every \' and graceful gesture, /« and| vivified long-dormant memories of his greatly loved wife of nineteen years) Ago. y a | Somehow he was giad Mrs. \ ansits | tart had not lingered by bis side The discovery of Enid’s identity involved | considerations so complex and utterly unforeseen that he needed time and | anxious thought to ar: tis plang for the future. | The animated bust! leck pre | vented anything in th: of sus tained conversation. Luckily, Mr. Traill himself, whos pen-handed | generosity had made n rs easy for] the reception committ was in con- Btant demand. Mrs. Sheppard had s a portmany teau for Constance and d, so they, too, soon scurried below with others. The lifeboat returned to the rock, where the four lighthouse men sent to relieve Brand were now helping the sailors to carry the injured men down- stairs and assisting the sick to reach the entrance. As soon as this second batch was transferred to the tug, the vessel started for Penzance; the Trinity ten der would land the others There was 4 scene of intense enthu- siasm when the steamer reached the dock. The vociferous cheering of the townspeople smothered the deep agony of some who waited there, knowing all too well they would search in vain for their loved ones among these whom death had spared. The two girls modestly escaped at the earliest moment from the shed used as a reception-room. All the in- habitants knew them personally or by sight; they attracted such atteftion that they gladly relinquished to other hands any further charge of the ship- wrecked people. So, after a few words of farewell for the hour, Stan hope piloted them to a waiting car riage and drove away with them. Mrs. Vansittart did not emerge from her cabin until the deck was deserted, She found Mr. Traill looking for her, In a neat black dress and feather hat she was rehabilitated. “Why didn’t you show up earlier?” he asked in good-humored surprise. “The breeze on deck was first-rate, It brought the color into many a pale cheek. And the way in which the crowd let itself go was splendid. Look at these waiting thousands—quivering yet with excitement!” “If am worn out,” she said quietly; “take me to your hotel. You have en- gaged rooms there, I suppose?” “Of course.” “When do you purpose leaving Pen- zance’?” “Well—er—that is part of the ex- planation | promised you.” “We can talk matters over in the hotel. Where is your nephew?” For the first time he marked her air of constraint. “Believe me, Etta,” he said hurried- ly, “that what I have to tell you will come as a great surprise, but it should be a pleasant one.” “Anything that gratifies you will be welcomed by me,” said simply. “You have not said where Charlie {s.” “Hiding in that shed. He refused Mr. Stanhope’s offer of a rig-out on board. In his present disguise he passes as a stoker, and everybody wants to see the man who saved all of you.” “Have you a closed carriage here?” "Feu," “Let us go. Charlie can come with us.” Again he was conscious of a bar rier between them, but he attributed her mood to the strain she had under gone. In the shed they found Pyne; with him were the orphaned children; there was none to meet them. Kind offers were made to care for them un til their relations should be forthcom- ing, but the man ‘o whom they clung would not listen to any such pro posal. “I guess they're happy with me,” he said. “I will see them through their present trouble.” Childlike, they had eyes and ears only for the prevalent excitement. At last Elsie asked him: “Where's mamma? You said she was sick. But the men haven't carried her off the ship, an’ she wasn’t in the boat.” “Don't you worry, Elsie,” he said, “I’m going to take you to a big house where you will find everything fixed just right.” His uncle and Mrs, Vansittart ap proached. The lady’s face was no longer hidden. . “What are you going to do with those children?” she inquired. “There’s none here to claim them,” he said. “I can't let them leave me in that haphazard way.” “Let me help you. privilege.” She stoop.d towards the tiny mites. “You dear little babes,” she said softly, “I can take mother’s place for a time.” They knew her quite well, of course, and she seemed to be so much kinder and nicer now in her smart clothes than she was in the crowded disorder of the bedroom, Mamie looked at Elsie, and the self- reliant Elsie said valiantly: “Mamie ‘n’ me ‘ll be glad, if Mr, Pyne comes too,” Mr. Traill, who had never before seen tears in Mrs, Vansittart’s eyes, found a ready excuse for her womanly sympathy. “It seems to me,” he said genially, “we are all of one mind. Come this way, Etta, And mind you stick close to us, Charlie, or the hall porter will throw you out if you attempt to enter the hotel in that costume.” He rattled on cheerfully, telling them how clothiers and milliners, and all the storekeepers in the town if they were needed, would wait on them at the hotel, “In a couple of hours,” he said, “you both can obtain sufficient things to render you presentable for a day or two, Don't forget we dine at eight. We ought to be a jolly party. I have asked Stanhope and his mother and those two girls to join us.’ “Oh,” cried Mrs. Vansittart faintly, “you must excuse me, I—” “Now, Etta, my dear, you will not desert us to-night. Why, it seemed aught she It is a woman's the} te Tie Was not mistaken. She did not teply at once. When she spoke it was with a sigh of relief. “[ will not be very entertaining, | fear, but the young people will have plenty to tell you. ” “For goodness’ sake, Etta, don't class yourself among the old fogtes,’ cried Mr. Traill, “Look at me, fifty five and lively as a grasshopper.” “Please, is Mamie ‘n’ me ‘vited, too?” whispered Elsie to Pyne. “You two chicks will be curled up among the feathers at eight o'clock,’ he told her. “Don't you go and worry about any dinner-parties. The sooner you go to sleep, the quicker you'll wake up in the morning, and then we're going out to hunt--for what, do you think?” “Candies,” said Mamie. “Toys,” cried Elsie, going one bet- r. “We're just going to find two of the loveliest and frilliest and pinkiest cheeked dolls you ever saw. They'll have blue eyes as big as yours, Elsie, and their lips will be as red and round as yours, Mamie. They'll talk and say—and say all sorts of things when you pinch their little waists. So you two hurry up after you've had your supper, say your prayers and close your eyes, and when you open them you'll be able to yell for me to find that doll-store mighty sharp.” “Say, Charlie,” cried his uncle, “I never heard you reel off a screw like that before. Now, if I didn’t know you were a confirmed young bachelor, I would begin to have suspicions. Anyhow, here's the hotel.” Two hours later, when unele and nephew met in the private sitting: room where busy waiters were mak- ing preparations for dinner, Traill drew the younger man to the privacy of a window recess. “Charlie,” he confided, “affairs are in a tangle. Do you realize that my marriage was fixed for today?” “That's so,” was the laconic an- swer. “Of course the wedding was post- poned by fate, and, to add to my per plexities, there is a new attitude on Mrs. Vansittart’s part. It puzzles me. We have been friends for some years, as you know. It seemed to be a per. fectly natural outcome of our mutual liking for each other that we should agree to pass our declining years to- gether. She is a very beautiful and accomplished woman, but she makes no secret of her age, and the match | was a suitable one in every respect.”| “You can see as far through a stone wall as most people.” | Pyne knew that his uncle’s sharp; eyes were regarding him steadily, but | he continued to gaze into the street. There was a moment's hesitation | before Mr. Traill growled: | “You young dog, you have seen it,/ too. Mrs. Vansittart avoids me | Something has happened. She has changed her mind. Do you think she! has heard about Edith?” “Edith! Oh, of course—Enid must} be christened afresh. No; that tan’t it. It would not be fair to you to say} that I think you are mistaken. But,| from what | know of the lady, I feel! sure she will meet you fairly when the| time comes.” “Ah, you agree with me, then?” | “In admitting a doubt—in advisin the delay you have already suggeste | —yes.” “She told you what I had written?"| “More than that, she asked me if 1 was aware of its explanation.” “And you said?” “Exactly what I said to you. are both sensible people. I can hardly | imagine that any misunderstanding! can exist after an hour's talk.” | Mr. Traill looked at his watch. Al carriage stopped at the hotel. “Here’s Stanhope, and his mother,” | cried Pyne; so his uncle hurried off to receive his guests. Lady Margaret was a well-preserved! woman of aristocratic pose, But her| serenity was disturbed. Although the! land was ringing with the fame of her | son's exploit, and her mother’s heart | was throbbing with pride, there had been tearful hours of vigil for her.| Not without a struggle had she aban: | doned her hope that he would make a well-endowed match. When Constance and Enid arrived) she was very stately and dignified, scrutinizing, with all a mother’s in! credulity, the girl who had caused het! to capitulate. . But Enid scored a prompt success | She swept aside the almost uncon | scious reserve with which Jack's mo ther greeted her. | “You knew,” she murmured wist | fully, “We did not. They would not! tell us. How you must have suffered until the news came that he had es caped.” | Lady Margaret drew the timid girl nearer and kissed her. | “My dear,” she whispered, “I am beginning to understand why Jack loves you. He is my only gon, but you are worthy of him.” : Mrs. Vansittart’s appearance crea: | ted a timely diversion. She had) obtained a black lace dress. It ac- centuated the settled pallor of her face, but she was perfectiy self-pos-| sessed, and uttered a nice womanly compliment to the two girls, who wore white demi-toilette cotsumes. “You look delightful,” she said | “When all is said and done, we women should never despise our wardrobe, That marvelous lighthouse had onq grave defect in my eyes. It was! dreadfully callous to feminine require- | ments,” | Here was a woman rejuvenated, res- tored to her natura! surroundings. | They accounted for the subtle change | You) in her by the fact that they had seen | her hitherto under unfavorable con: | ditions. Even Pyne, not wholly | pleased with her in the past, found his | critical judgment yielding when she apologized sweetly to Lady Margaret for her tardiness. “There were two saved from the wreck. Poor little mites, how they revelled in a hot bath! I could not leave them until they were asleep.” “I needed two hot baths,” said Pyne. “No. 1 dug me out of the shell, and No, 2 helped me to recognize myself.” During dinner there was much to tell and to hear, Mrs. Vansittart said little, save to interpose a word now and then when Constance or Enid little children to me to be the only way in which we could all come together at once, I am only too sorry that Mr. Brand can- hot be present. Surely he might have) been spared from further duty at the lighthouse after what he has endured.” “They offered to relieve him at bnee, but he declined,” said Pyne. } He looked out of the window of the) carriage in which they were driving! to the hotel, Constance had told him| of the dinner arrangement, but he | wisped to ascertain if the definite ah- pence of the lighthouse-keeper would tend to reassure Mrs, Vangittart, would have skimmed too lightly the record of their own services, They did not hurry over the meal, All were in the best possible spirits, and the miseries of the Gulf Rock might never have existed for this lively company were it not that four among them bore clear tokens of the deprivations they had endured, (TO BE CONTINUED) ADVERTISE IN THE NEWS | missioner of Lands for a licence to and | Broderick of Prince Rupert, B.
