Then' he heard behind him d piercing
shrek. Turning he saw Gertrude throw her,
self on the form of McCary, just as he sent
bullet whizzing by his head. In moment
he tore himself from the girl and put off in
full flight, and Thorndyke after him. They
met on the verge Of the cliff, from which by
mighty effort the doctor was thrown head.

Then, turning, Donald hurried to where
the motionless form of Gertrude lay. His
passion broke against all restraint, and he
poured into her deaf ears the story of his
love, and kissed her white lips. Her eyes
opened slowly, and he knew she had not
been deaf to all he had said. She looked him
squarely in the eyes and said: Donald, have
you only courage while in the grip of muir
derous monster and over the body of a
lfeless woman? My poor boy-my hero-oh,
my love-"

Edgartown, was called

Donald, Saving the disease of old age. You
may have her with you for awhile yet, but

Next morning the British landed on the
island, with but little warning of what was
to come. Capt. Scammell with several ma
rines was at the house. DR.. Phillipse and
Rachel Thorndyke We're in the main room.
Donald had had time to hide himself to
await developments. No one seems to have
known at the moment what had become
of Gertrude. Ames, of course, was still con.
fined to his room.
Without knocking, Scammell entered and
demanded that Gertrude King, Beverly
Ames and Donald Thorndyke be surrendered
to him. AT that moment the hall door
opened and Gertrude entered. Her face was
flushed as though just awakened from a nap
Seeing Scammell, she uttered scream,
and turning, fled through the door by which
she had just entered, slamming the portal
behind her. Rachel placed herself against
the door, but one of the marines pulled her
rudely away and sprang up the stairs, with
Scammell close behind.

Of Small Value.
A young man eating fried oysters
the other night in restaurant in the
business section made several rather
CHASTITY grimaces, and finally extract
ed a small gray pellet from between
his molars. "Ah, ha! I've found q
pearl" he said, triumphantly, and
wrapped the treasure trove carefully
in a scrap Of margin from a news
paper. That's the fifth have run
across" he added to friend. I'm

An expert jeweler happened to be

ceeded to unburden himself of little
lore on the subject.

q gentleman vis-a-yis, ito know how
many folks drop in at the jewelry

They get suspicious at once and think

cent Of the men who take their meals
at restaurants are carrying around lit
tie packets of what they suppose to be
pearls in their vest pockets. AS mat
ter of fact, they are not pearls at all
at least not in the commercial sense
Of the word, although suppose their
origin and composition is the same.
But they lack the something or other
that gives the real gem its peculiar
luster, and you would look in vain to

many years and during that time l
have seen Just two real pearls found

CHAPTER XVI,
CONCLUSION.

The series of adventures in which Donald
Thorndyke played SO well the part of the
hero have now been nearly told. We will
record only two more incidents, one when he
learned thai he was loved by the best WON.
an on earth, and the second, that which
brought Gods just retribution down on the
head of Donald's bitterest enemy.
DIR. McCary was allowed to roam in and
about. Donald thinking he might yet be need
ed for his skill. Thorndyke was anxious for
the return Of the Phantom, and was now
in the habit Of daily taking walk up the
gently sloping cap Of the cliff, which sud-
denly breaks away to the sea in an almost
sheer precipice, to get, if possible, glimpse
of his craft. Oftentimes on these occasions
Gertrude would be with him.
One day Ames asked him to give McCary
an overhauling for some papers taken by
his sister from Mrs. Badely's desk, which
were now missing. Accordingly, when next
he met the doctor, he asked him for the
papers. McCary had his gun with him, and
his gray eyes were bloodshot, betokening a
free use Oh liquor. He started, and the gun
slipped from his hand. If there were any
doubts before that he was the thief, they
were now dispelled. Before he could formu-
late an answer Thorndyke leaped for and
laid hold of him. With one hand he twist.
ed him around, with the other drew from his
breast pocket mass of papers, then with a
finishing push thrust him backward. BY the
time the surly redcoat had gotten to his feet,
Donald had found what he wanted, and then
walked off with the gun over his shoulder
without even looking to see what might be
McCary's next move.
A few days later when Donald walked to
the cliff Gertrude was with him. He was O
hundred feet in advance of her as he reached
the brow Of the promontory. He gave q
shout as he sprang forward, for there
stretching out for miles, vessel after vessel
