men not to be sought for and found il
that distant country to which he was
bound. Would they, in spite of his pre-
cautions, suspect that he had planned
this evasion and insist on his return
or would he be allowed to slip away
and drop out of sight like the white
froth he was watching on the top OF
the ever-shifting waves? He had boast
ed of possessing a witness. Would they
believe that boast and send detective
in search of him, or would they take
his words for the bombast they really
were and proceed with their investiga-
tons in happy relief at the loss of his
intrusive assistance?
AS this was d question impossible for
him to answer, he turned to other
thoughts and fretted himself for a
while with memories of Amabel's dis
dain and Frederick's careless accept
ance of a sacrifice he could never know
the cost of, mixed strangely with relief
of another life. AS the dark settled.
his head fell further and further for
ward on the rail he was leaning against,
till he became to any passing eye but
a blurred shadow mixing with other
shadows equally immovable.
Unlike them, however, his shadow
suddenly shifted. Two men had drawn
near him, one speaking pure Spanish,
and the other English. The English
oil hot for
stand, and this half of the conversation
was certainly startling enough.
Though he could not, of course. know
to what or whom it referred, and
though it certainly had nothing to do
with him, or any interest he repre-
scented or understood, he could not help
listening and remembering every word.
The English-speaking man uttered the
first sentence he comprehended. 1t was
thus:
Shall it be tonight"
Again the English voice:
He has come up. 1 saw him dis
tinctly as he passed the second mast"
More Spanish; then English:
You may if you want to, but I'll
never breathe easy while he's on the
ship. Are you sure he's the fellow We
fear?"
A rapid flow of words from which

and distinctly in the sinister tones he
had already begun to SILVER at:
Very good. The r. F. A. should pay
well for this with the quick addition

lied that something awful, unheard of
was about to happen. and would have
uttered yell of dismay, but that the
very intensity of his fright took away
his breath. The next minute he felt
himself launched into space and en-
veloped in the darkness of the chilling
waters. He had been lifted bodily and
flung headlong into the sea.

and found it. as he had been warned he
should, empty.
Approaching the table he laid down
the packet just as he had been direct
ed, in front of the big armchair, and
then, casting a hurried look towards the
door and failing to find anyone watch
ing him, he took up a pencil lying near
by and scrawled hastily across the top
of the packet the word, suspicious.
This, he calculated, would act as a
warning to Mr.. Clifford, in case there
was anything wrong about the package,
and pass as a joke with him, and even
the sender, if there was not. And sat
isfied that he had both earned his
money and done justice to his own ap-
prehensions. he turned to retract his
steps. As before, the corridors were
alive with hurrying men of various
ages and appearance, but only two at
tracted his notice. One of these was
large, intellectual looking man, who
turned into the room from which he had
just emerged, and the other short
fair man, with a countenance he had
known from bOyhOod. Mr. Stone of
Sutherlandtown was within ten PAGES
of him, and he was as well known TO
the good postmaster as the postmaster
was to him. Could any one have fore

Turning his back with slow SLOUGH,
he made for rear door he saw swing
ing. though he cast swift look behind
him. He had not been recognized. In
great relief he rushed on. knocking
against man standing against one of
the outside pillars.
"Halloo," shouted this man.
Sweetwater stopped. There was a
tone of authority in the voice which he
could not resist.

three magazines at the same time. the
most terrific explosion followed.
Flames flashed over the sea, the win
dows ratified as if from an earthquake
shock, the inhabitants of the town
rushed out-of-doorS, expecting to see
their houses fall to pieces. Strange to
say, with the exception of the breaking
of a few window panes. not the least
damage had been done in the town.
The English were not so fortunate At
least $50 of the men on board the shall
lops were blown to pieces or drowned
by the premature explosion of the ma
chine which had proved so Internal to
its inventors. The Individual who had
arranged the whole plan and built the
boat was a recreant Frenchman named
Fournier. and he was one of the VIC
TINS of the disaster. So ended one of
the most famous attempts to use an
Internal machine, and had it not been
for the accident of striking on the rock,
it is certain that much of the town Of
St MaiO would have been destroyed by
the explosion. while the English would
have escaped in safety. An attempt
with a similar machine was made
against Dunkerque by the English at a
later date, but with like results.

that was when he thought he heard
a laugh. a laugh. here in the midst OF
ocean, in the midst of STORM laugh,
Were demons a reality. then? Yes;
but the demon he had heard was of his
own Imagination. 1t had face of
Medusa, sweetness and the laugh. Only
Amabel's rang out so thrillingly false;

Amabel. who might be laughing in her
dreams at this very moment of his SUI
preme misery, and who asSuredly
would laugh if conscious of his suffer-
ing and aware of the doom to which
self-sacrifice had brought him. ANA
bel. the thought of her made the night
more dark, the waters more threaten
ing. the future less promising. Yet he
would hold on, If only to spite her who
hated him, and whom he hated almost
as much as he loved Mr.. Sutherland.
1t was his last conscious thought for
hours. When morning broke he was
but nerveless figure, with sense
enough to cling, and that was all.

TIE LLArMAs OF PERU.

burro trains to go from Cerro del Pssco

carried over that interval on the backs of
llamas. That docile animal, which was
the beast of burden in Peru in prehistoric
times, and played the part that was as
signed to his cousin, the camel, IN Egypt
and Arabia, is still seen in large num-

The Incas used the llama exclusively
for transportation purposes, and the
animals were very numerous through
the country, but bad treatment has re-
