"Well, what is your charge against Strong?" asked Judge Penfold, impatiently, probably tired of being so utterly ignored in the discussion. The merchant hesitated. "I prefer to speak to you about the matter in private," he said sourly. "That isn't fair. He ought to tell me what I am accused of," I cried, "Every one who is arrested has a right to know that.
Then he set his mainsail too, and stretched boldly out across the great Pacific Ocean. Time seems to wear out everything, even bad luck. It ran strong against Robert Penfold for years. But, when it had struck its worst blow, and parted him and Helen Rolleston, it relaxed, and a tide of good luck set in, which, unfortunately, the broken-hearted man could not appreciate at the time.
But she came prepared for a sore trial of her feelings, and she clinched her hands and teeth, and would not give way an inch. "Tell me how he saved your life, madam." "He was in the ship, and in the boat, with me." "Ah, madam," said Michael, "that must have been some other Robert Penfold; not my son. He could not come home. His time was not up, you know."

And he held her at arm's length and gazed at her, and then drew her to his bosom; and for him Robert Penfold ceased to exist, except as a man that had saved his daughter.
