By this time two men were observed aft on the "Zelda," their gaze turned steadily on the "Benson." "Take the wheel for two or three minutes, Eph," begged the young captain, on whom the strain was beginning to tell.

"I just wondered," said Zelda, "if she was going to marry into the army." Katie saw Major Darrett's smile. "If she did," she said, "the army would gain something that might do it good." Major Darrett was staring at her speechlessly. Harry gratefully. "You're very fond of her?" said Caroline Osborne in her sweet-toned way. "Very," said Kate in way less sweet.
ZELDA DAMERON. With portraits of the characters by John Cecil Clay. "A picture of the new West, at once startlingly and attractively true. * The heroine is a strange, sweet mixture of pride, wilfulness and lovable courage. The characters are superbly drawn; the atmosphere is convincing.
That inward chuckle showed no disposition to dissolve into anything; it fought hard to be just a live, healthy chuckle. Moved by an impulse half serious, half mischievous she asked: "You would say then, Wayne, that Ann seems to you more of a lady than Zelda Fraser?" Wayne's real answer lay in his look of disgust. He did condescend to put into words: "Oh, don't be absurd, Katie."
They returned to the sick room. Zelda seemed calmer. The daughter was crouched upon the floor at the side of the bed. Sanselme spoke to her gently. "My child," he said, "I will take care of your mother to-night. You are tired, and a room is ready for you." "No! no!" cried the child. "I cannot stay here to-night, unless I am in my mother's room."
Enid had not noticed me and I somehow failed to shake off the feeling of fear that the glance of Millard had given me. Faint heart I was, and the answer was that I had yet to win the fair lady. To excuse myself I pretended she was different under the lights. It was really true that, as Zelda Remsen, Enid was not the fascinating creature I had met in Werner's office.
The pitiful little sum that was saved soon went, and Peter with his blacking box became the sole support of the family. When they had buried Zelda, and Gloria was kneeling by her grave softly weeping, Philip touched her shoulder and said, "Let us go, she needs us no longer, but there are those who do.
Watching her as she bantered with Major Barrett it grew upon Katie as one of the grotesque things of the world that Zelda should be within and Ann without. Major Barrett had remained. It was Ann who had gone. Yet it was Ann had dreamed the dream. He who had made the "excursion" despoiling the dream. It was Ann had been "called." He who had preyed upon cheated that call.

The "Benson" began to crawl up on the "Zelda." "What are you doing now, Jack?" called Jacob Farnum sharply, as he and Pollard moved forward to stand by the young captain. "I'll tell you, in a few minutes, if our move seems to be any good, sir," Jack answered. By four o'clock half the space between the Rhinds boat and the Pollard craft had been covered.
