It lay In deeper water. nearly mile
out, and no one seemed to know much
about the man in charge except that ne
was named Hughes and was married
He very rarely came on shore, but when
he did so returned Immediately to his
ship without speaking to anybody, ana
il was generally believed on the island
that he often had his wife with him.
That he had some one--wife or other
wise-on board i soon satisfied myself,
and that by very simple means.
The man whose duty it was to wait
upon the hulk keepers was, l found,
methodical sort of fellow and kept
memorandum book, in which he wrote
down the different articles he was in
structed 10 obtain. This book Quickly
managed TO get hold of for me, and, on
looking over it, | saw that from a GER
tain time-dating some months back
the supply of provisions ordered by
Hughes had doubled in quantity. This
might OF course be due to the fact that
his wife was on board, and indeed
Quickly reported that the hulk attendant
had remarked TO him: "Hughes have
cot his old woman on the Cuban Queen.
L sec her a-rowing about one night in the
dingey." But | had made another and
much more significant discovery when
looking over the book-a discovery
which the presence of Hughes wife did
not altogether explain. This was that
not only had the quantity of food sup
piled to Hughes been largely increased,
but that the quality, too, was vastly
superior
The man in attendance on the bulk
had probably failed TO notice this fact,
and did not deem it advisable to arouse
his suspicion by making further inqui-
ries. But at once decided that before
| put against the name of the Cuban
Queen the little tick which signified
that might henoeforth dismiss 1t from
consideration l should have to make
the personal acquaintance of MRS.
Hughes. "

that if you knew it you'd be with me
is right the person we have just seen
dressed like woman isn't woman at
all, but man. He isn't going to Hole
Haven, for he's just turned down the
path that leads to the ferry at Benfeet.
1t looks as if he meant catching the 9
o'clock train for London from Southend.
He must be followed, but not by me,
and for two reasons. The first is that
while he's away must get by hook or
by crook upon the Cuban Queen. The
second is that don't want him to see
me, as in that case he'd know me again.
Will you trust me that all square until
l can tell you the whole story, and in
the meantime will you let Quickly fol-
low that man and try to find out for me
where he goes? 1t is most important
that / should know"
"All serene, my boy" said Muir,
slapping his great hand into mine too
vigorously to be altogether pleasant,
and too loudly to be discreet under the
circumstances. "All serene. I'll trust

l turned to Quickly. "Can you get
round to the station without being seen
before that person gets there, so that he
shan't suppose he's followed?"
GEES zur," said Quickly, "if I go
through the churchyard and cross yon
field. "
"Of you go, them" said. "Here
is e3 for expenses. Get to the station
before he does and keep an eye for him
from the window of the mems waiting
room, where he can't see you. II he
goes into any waiting room. it will
have to be into the ladies' while he has
that dress OH. So you go into the gen.
eral room. But take tickets before he
gets there, one to Shoeburyness, which
is as far as the line goes one way, and
the other to London, which is as far as
1t goes in the opposite direction. If he
waits for the next down train, you wait,
too. and go where he goes; but if he
takes the up train to London slip out
and into the same train when his back
is turned. Wherever be goes, up or
down. you're to go, too, and when he
gets out shadow him, without being
seen yourself, and make q note of any
place he calls at. Then, when you've
run him to earth, telegraph to Mr.. Muir
at the inn here-not to me-saying
where you are, and I'll join you next
train. But keep your eyes open at all
the stations the train stops at to see he
doesn't get out and give you the slip.
Do this job well and carry it through
and there'll be couple of e10 notes for
you when you get back. And now be
off,"

I BOARD THE CUBAN QUEEN.

The opportunity to pay a surprise
visit to the Cuban Queen in the absence
OF Mrs. Hughes" had come at last,
and as l had already hit upon plan by
which l might carry out my purpose
without giving Hughes cause to suspect
that my happening upon him was other
than accidental proceeded at once to
put it into effect.
Telling Muir that would rejoin him
at the inn before long, slipped off my
clothes, tossed them together in n heap
on the beach, with big stone atop to
keep them from being blown away, and
plunged into the water. I am q strong
swimmer, and the tide was running out
30 swiftly that when I reached the Gu
ban Queen, which was moored about a
mile from shore, / was not in the least
"winded." and indeed felt more than
at to fight my way back against the cur
rent. But in order that the game should
work out as ] had planned Il was neces.

conversation. "But I remembe the
man who objected so to the fusee," he
went ON, with smile. "He did get ex-
cited over it, didn't he?"
/ said that he certainly had done so
and asked, with apparent unconcern,
whether the man in question was a
friend.
"No, can't say that he's FRIEND"
was tho answer, "but I've Travelled
down with him several times and al
ways found him very pleasant COM
pany."
Twas glad to hear this, for it satisfied
me that the fact of my having seen
Mullen in the Southend train was not
due to chance visit which might never
have been repeated. Had it been so the
difficulty of my undertaking would
have been enormously increased, for
should then have held clew only to
his identity, whereas bad now q clew
to his whereabouts as we'll.
"But, now you mention 1T" (Which,
as l had nothing to mention, was not
the case), my companion went on
"now that you mention it-though it
had never struck me before-it is rather
strange that though I've seen our friend
several times in the train l have never
once seen him anywhere in Southend.
In place like that you are bound to see
any one staying there, and, in fact, I've
often knocked up against the same peo-
ple half dozen times in an evening,
first OH the cliffs, then on the pier, and
after that in the town. But can't re-
call ever once seeing our fusee friend
anywhere. 1t seems as if when he got
to Southend he vanished into space.
looked closely at my companion,
lest the remark had been made with in
territorial significance. and indicated
that he himself entertained suspicious
of Mullen's object in visiting Southend.
Such was apparently not the case, how
ever, for after two or three irrelevant
observations he got upon the subject of
politics and continued to bore me with
his own very positive ideas upon the
matter for the rest of the journey.

with evil designs upon "Mrs. Hughes"
and shared his masters sentiments.
Him, too, / was strongly moved to
strangle. and that l resisted the temp

had present need of his services.

"Never, my boy" he responded
promptly.
