Captain Stocking, pulling, sputtering,' sput-tering,' spitting out odd bits of con rersntlon, led the way rapidly into a dark room and lighted a bracket lamp upon the wnlL In one corner a stair, unusually steep, arose through the celling." The keeper lighted the way with shining brass lantern that he took from a wall cupboard by the dour The angular outline of steps lifted Into the nlr, converging toward the top. "Never. , mind countin'l" Captain Stocking grunted. "They 's ninety-one," "Ninety-one?" "Steps." lie pushed open a trap-door. Norman Nor-man followed him Into 4 snug whlte-palnted whlte-palnted room with black trim upon doors and casements, resembling the chart room of a vessel. "The lamp room, when we burnt oil wicks,'-'- Stocking explalUed. "Use It for spare parts now we got the new generating lamp. Them gauges there, you got to watch, them keep the kerosene kero-sene reservoir filled for the lamp - . . here, I'll show yon now." On. the. watt- a ship's - chronometer ticked wltb melancholy precision Lockers ranged three sides. In the center a circular iron staircase wriggled wrig-gled up to a round bole in the celling, through which protruded an Iron ladder lad-der that vanished perpendicularly above. Captain Stocking climbed ahead up the ladder, talking, kicking out his heels. Above, In the lantern case Itself, Norma n saw bis owlish little chief open a brass-bound door In the rear of a great lens, saw the flare of a glorified bonfire In the thick rejecting re-jecting glass, heard the sputter of vapor, end Blind Man's Eye swallowed np the world In Us glare of light Norman thought that, his duties would be simple. The lamp must be cleaned each day, the tower steps scrubbed, brass sblned, lenses polished, the oil tank filled and charged, a day and night look-out kept for fogs and thick weather; and whenever a mist obscured the horizon the fires must be touched off under the boilers In the signal bouse, to make steam and set the automatic Jog whistle blowing. Alternate days would be free of responsibility. re-sponsibility. The night Jvatch he would divide with Captain Stocking. At supper Captain Stocking sparred occasionally with his daughter. It developed that she liked to talk. "Where you tailed, Erlckson?" Captain Cap-tain Stocking aeked the question suddenly, sud-denly, his knife and fork pointing sldawise like thejiands of a weather-vane. weather-vane. Norman saw Susan and Steve Sutton both turn their eyes toward him Inquiringly. "Out of Madrid Bay," he answered, "fished a little with my dad." Madrid Bay, eh? Well, there's good sailors out o' that port Madrid Bay fishermen's the best on the lakes." -vVhere do I come in 7" -Steve button but-ton demanded. Nornvin. looked at him appralslngly. He did not know exactly what to make of this man Sutton. He seemed sulky to Normaa Before her father could answer, Sue spoke. "I know two or three men from Ma drld," she said, and looked at Norman critically, as If she were comparing him wlthjhem. ' - Norman flushed His feelings still were sore from his father's beruting Time enough to tell them of the man ner In which he left Madrid Bay. . . "Where'd you sail." the captain in Isted, "'sides out of Madrid?" "Nowheres," Norman admitted. He felt that he was not telling the whole truths Ills fatlier would have denied that he ever sailed out of Madrid "Nowhere?." he repeated. I fished In my father's boat I onlj fished a few weeks. Don't eara for fishing." T - .... r ... A recollection of Madrid Day flashed across his mind.

"Bless my soul, that was 'a hoatl" Voices sounded In the corridor. The door opened. . Nonnnn felt a chilllneps nt the roots of his hair, felt hot suddenly, sud-denly, felt angry, felt beaten and ashamed. Grinning nt him, by the side of Sue Stocking, who looked Just as disturbingly sure of herself as ever, stood Ed Baker, bearer of tales from Madrid Bay. CHAPTER III Cowardl - - Norman stared Incredulously at Baker's Ba-ker's robustious presence. There was .something threatening In bis assurance, assur-ance, In his smiling face. Like an emissary out of the past be came to harass Gustaf Erlckson's son whose single desire was to forget the past Baker spoke first. "It's you, is It?" He showed no surprise, "You're the new assistant? Sue didn't tell be that 1 Tour old man's kind of broke up, you runnln' away from him. . . "What's that?" Captain Stocking demanded. "What's that you say? Kun away?" be repeated. Baker laughed. "You flgger on holding hold-ing on to this boy?" he asked Captain Stocking. . 7 "Aye. Assistant keeper. And what about It?" Daker lighted a cigarette. This Is Gustaf Erlckson's son," he said. . He addressed Captain Stocking. "Gus-taf's "Gus-taf's a fisherman down at Madrid. His boy run out on him early this morning. The old man nigh bad a stroke. "Gustaf s been sick." be explained. ex-plained. "He asked this deep-dlvin' mariner to take him out to the banks today. He needed to lift his nets. The boy wouldn't go. His old man's all broke up tonight Says this fellow's fel-low's always been a cargo of trouble. Always been scart o' the water. . . ." "Well, well, welll" Captain Stocking Stock-ing murmured. "Baker, you're a liar I And a thief I And a . . ." "Here, here I" Stocking interrupted. "None, 0' such talk goes aboard my light" Baker laughed again. Ills eyes glowed unpleasantly .... Sue Stocking, who bad 'been listening In silence, glanced from hlra to the new assistant assist-ant keeper. Norman's pale blue eyes were filled with anger but she saw no fear In tbem. "Let's get this straight," she said. "If this boy's not going to fit we'd better know It now. What's this about always being afraid of water?" "Nothing I" Norman again spoke sharply. "My father . . . was unreasonable. un-reasonable. Going out in that storm would have killed hrm todny.No one went out r His voice raised. "You didn't go . out I" he challenged Baker "1 didn't have any nets set." the other answered lightly "AuiLlts .not me that's calling you scared. All I'm tellln' these folks Is what your old man says. He ought to know He says you was no son to him. Says you had the green scares at goln' oui In a bit . of breeze. . "A bit of breeze?" put In Steve Sutton. Sut-ton. "I'M say It wns a bit!" . - Baker Ignored him- "You never wns hankering to go afloat was you. Norm?" he asked. "No," Norman answered slowly, "no 1 never was. And I'm not now. Most thing I'm hankering for now Is to see j how much punishment -you and come through alive. .-. . ! tnrvnrd. I "Sit down, Erlckson I" Captain Stock-, log commanded.

He stamped down the steps and across the sand. Captain Stocking turned distractedly to Norman, "You've never sailed anywhere?" he asked, . Norman shook his head firmly. Cap tain Stocking was shaking bis also as he went to the door. He opened It for his daughter and Baker. "Was that the brave boy running r Bnker-asked. "No? Still here?
