CHAPTER XVII.

AS Natalie and Lydia were conversing
after their lunch, Dolores, who had gone to
the window, called out:
Little mamma there is our steamer come
to take us away. Come and lock at it."
The two women, locking up, saw yacht
anchored off the shore. Natalie instantly
exclaimed
at is the 'Namovna.' Oil hope it has
come for us. If it has, shall go now-at
oncen
But, my dear child, it isn't possible to
start so quickly. Can't you wait until to-

Blanche soon appeared, saying that the
captain was waiting, and the ladies' must
be ready to start by five o'clock sharp"
"Do you hear, LydiaW said Natalie tri-
umphantly. There is no alternative. We
must 60"
Every thing is ready, too, Madamoiselle,"
remarked Blanche. "Medji is being taken
on board, and the sailors are soon coming
for the baggage"
"Well, Natalie" said Lydia with unusual
compliance, "if we must, we must Only
shall be obliged Immediately to go to Desert
Rock and explain matters to the Gulnares,
and send our baggage down here"
Precisely at ten minutes to five O'Clock the
entire party-Natalic, Lydia, her aunt,
Dolores, Blanche and the servants-was at
the landing place of Eld-Fied, awaiting the
arrival of the boat from the "Namovna."
Some discussion had arisen as to the dis
posal of Max. But line from Fairfax to
Lydia said
'Do me the favor of taking Max with you

The boat came for its last load. In silence
they stepped into it, even little Dolore:

that he was leaving his master and home

! bow.
As the boat left the shore a detected

he did, finally, with very poor grace,
sullenly watching the train roll out of the
depot
Louvait knew well that so clever a follow
could not fail to clear himself, and in very
short time, too.
"Then he'll hire an engine and go flying
down to the Terminus. l know that he can't
retaliate upon me in the same way--at least,
between here and the Ferry-because we
make no stops. The Ferry's mere colles-
ton of railroad houses, and there are no
policemen there. The only place where he
can stop me is Bar Harbor itself, and if
can only get within swinging distance Of
the island, I'll defy al law and policemen.
So, guess, Pm all right"
At the Ferry lay the elegant transfer
steamer Sappho. She had lately been fur
nished with new propeller-wheel and was
speedier than ever.
Going into the engne-room, Louvait en-
gagged the engineer in conversation.
"What time are you due at Bar Har-
borl"
"Five fifty-fve.'
give fifty-fve, Ell! That run of near
ly forty minutes. What time could you do
it in if you let on all steamm
ION, about twenty-nine minutes"

great deal about this Sanpho, anG nave como
here to look at her. II sho's what they sag
she is I'm going to build one like her. Now
here's tive-dollGr bill If you can make
Bar Harbor In twenty minutes from
the time we leave, this is yours"
Precisely at $40 p m, twenty-five min
'utes after leaving the Ferry the Sappho
touched the wharf at Bar Harbor, and Lou
wait was five dollars poorer,
During this time Jean Leroi had been
achieving wonders at Bangor He had in
duced his captors to make Immediate in
Quiries about him. A telegram from Port
land revealing the true state of affairs, the
Bangor officials realizing that they and
their prisoner were the victims Of a cruel
joke, not only set the latter at liberty, but
used every effort to remedy the evil un
Willingly done to him
Mr., Payson Tucker, superintendent of the
road, CHANGED TO be at Bangor. For mere
nominal sum he procured Leroi one of the
heetest passenger engines on the Mt.
Desert branch.
But" inquired Leroi, show can I get
across the Ferryi The transfer steamer
will not Of course, wait for me-"
'Oh, that's easy enough" said Mr..
Tucker. 'Of course, as you say, can,
hold the Sappho from her regular time. But
we've another small boat there which makes
trips to neighboring mainland villages. I've
photographed her to wait and take you
across. don't think you'll be over half
hour behind the Sappho in arriving"
While awaiting the arrival of his engine,
Louvait inspected the telegram which had
caused his arrest 1t was dated Portland.
Now Portland" had positively denied send.
ing any such message.
Who did send it, thenl
Just here ''Waterville, y who had accident
ally gotten an inkling of the conversation
between Bangor and Portland clicked
out that he had sent it
