He advanced to her side and said
in a low but earnest tone:
do not cry out, or all is lost! We
have come across the water to save
you. He is close at hand-your hus-
band. Come to him now, and please
utter no sound above a whisper"
Then she suffered him to lead her
out, not sure that it was a dream or
some delusion.
There stood the captain awaiting
his own, and with a cry she could not
repress she threw herself into his ex-
tended arms.
The marquis rightly feared that dis
covery was now sure to come, and
realizing that not a second must be
lost he begged Fedora to tell him If
she had a companion in her captivity.
Unable to speak, she pointed to a
door opposite to the stateroom she
had occupied, and as Jack turned to
it he saw Mazette standing there, with
pale face and disheveled hair-but Ma
zette, alive, thank Heaven!
Another instant and he had clasped
her to his heart-it was one of those
moments when words are useless to
convey the sentiments of the soul, for
Mazette knew he loved her, even as
she had for years adored her former
eomrade and instructor in Bohemia.
Just as the marquis, overwhelmed
by his sentiments, threw the mask
aside and betrayed his love for Ma
zette by straining the miniature
painter to his heart another door flew
open and there issued forth a figure
that in its warlike demeanor might
have stood for a modern Joan of Arc
"a figure that, at sight of the mar
quis and Livermore, uttered savage
little cries in Spanish, and with blaz-
ing eyes and heaving bosom rushed
toward the former, waving desperate
ly in her hand a revolver, which he
knew full well she had learned how to
use under the palms of Gautarica,
since he himself, as wretched luck
would have it. had taught her the first
principles of craftsmanship.

CHAPTER XIV.

hCAC 1OlQ lONtQ
Luckily the detective was prepared
for just such move as this, and as
she came within reach, not noticing
his presence, he caught her and with
a quick movement wrested the revolv-
er from her grasp.
The movement was successful, but
it cost him dear, for the frenzied wo-
man, baffled in her design, scratched
his face after the manner of a tiger
cat, all the while screaming as might
an escaped maniac-doubtless, for the
time being, she was out of her senses,
so fearful hold upon her mind had
this idea of Corsican revenge taken,
that the prospect of losing her prey
rendered her mad.
He threw her from him with a
curse, for she would very likely have
dug his eyes out.
1t was now high time they departed.
Already the alarm was given and
they could hear the shouts of Spanish
sailors as they ran to and fro, or
came tumbling up from their quarters
forward
Already the captain was leading his
wife to the deck; the old warriors
fighting blood was up, and woe to the
man who dared bar his path.
The marquis followed with Mazette.
AS for the detective, finding a key
in the cabin door he whipped this lat
ter shut and, having secured it, plac-
ed the key in his pocket, hoping that
by thus separating Juanita from the
unscrupulous captain and crew he
might lessen the danger.
1t was a polite move and did him
credit.
They could hear her pounding at
the door while her shrieks arose; then
came several shots from her recovered
revolver, whether as signals or fred
in the hope of demolishing the lock
that held her prisoner none could say.
No sooner had Livermore issued
forth upon the deck than he was set
upon by couple of men, one of them
possibly the captain of the steamer,
who recognized in him a stranger.
At least here was an opportunity
for Livermore to prove that he had
not become rusty in his five years re-
tirement from the field of adventure
and travel, and right royalty he en-
phasized this point under the eyes of
his wife.
He threw out his right hand and
sent the fellow on that side headlong
into the scuppers. At this his other
antagonist drew a shining knife, with
which every Spaniard loves to go
armed at all times, and uttering fear
full imprecations he made a wicked
pass at the stout captain.
Fedora's scream was deadened by
the report of the captains weapon,
and then the sailor mans tune chang
ed, for, dropping his blade, he ran
down the deck with a bullet in his
shoulder, shrieking in pain in man

That is cheering news, marquis. If
true it relieves our minds of one dread
ful fear-the boat survived the storm,
at least. Please heaven, she is safe on
board, and that we may succeed in res
cuing herl When shall we go?"
Let us have a council of war;" the
marquis said with energy, land take
the opinions of our detective and the
captain as to the advisability of max
Ing an immediate advance on the en-
emy's works"
A plan of action was decided upon.
Steam should be kept up by the com
mander, so that an immediate depar-
ture from the harbor could be made in
case 1t was deemed necessary.
The three others entered a boat,
which was manned by several of the
stoutest and most expert sailors on
board--men whose muscles were capa-
BILE of enormous work should there be
need of haste.
If an Indifferent watch were kept
aboard the craft there would be little
or no difficulty in accomplishing the
hrst part of their scheme, at least.
This was to temporarily disable the
screw of the steamer, so that such a
thing as pursuit would be out of the
question.
Nearer they drew, and those who
were SO deeply interested held their
very breath. for fear lest sudden hail
from on board might bring about dis
rovery and possibly ruin for their
plans.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Search for a Wife.

1t was already arranged that in case
such a contretemps occurred they
were to advance to the side of the
steamer, addressing the man on guard
in Spanish, which the marquis was
easily capable of doing, announcing
themselves officers of the port, bent
upon their duties, who wished to come
aboard.
Once alongside, they would speedily
Chamber over the low waist of the
little steamer, whether invited or not.
AS to the rest, they were armed, and
meant to carry out their object though
the heavens fell.
The sailors were to manage the task
of using the chain which they had car
ried, so that it would be wound about
the propeller with the first few revolu-
tions made.
1t was well done.
Not a single clanking sound be-
trayed them.
Their next task required an abun-
dance of nerve, which, fortunately,
was not lacking.
The marquis had been using his eyes
as well as the darkness allowed, and
he saw that the steamer was built in
a manner that made the task of board
ing her more difficult than he had an
ticipated.
They might be compelled to rely
upon some chance rope dangling over
the side.
The sailors knew what to expect.
and foot by foot the boat was worked
along close to the hull of the steamer
until the cropping hand of the man
whoa searched came in contact with
what they sought. rope, by means
of which any sailor ashore could, upon
arrival at the vessel, Chamber aboard.
The marquis was the first to take
hold of it after the sailor had fastened
one end to a thwart, and he passed
over the rail of the steamer in a jiffy.
Then came the man from Scotland
Yard, who also made the passage cas-
lily enough.
With Livermore it was a serious
business, for he had accumulated much
avoirdupois since his last equatorial
tramp through the African wilderness.
However, the same game spirit as of
yore resided in his body, and while
he puffed considerably, making sounds
that Jack feared would draw attention
from the watch. the discovery did not
come, and he was given the privilege
of assisting his friend aboard.
Fortune favored them in that they
were able to reach the cabin without
meeting any one.
Once at the saloon door, they looked
its length without discovering a living
soul.
Evidently those whom they sought
must be in their staterooms opening
off the cabin, and there was nothing
left to them but to open these, one at
a time, to discover the truth.
This was the crucial time.
The marquis, bold enough to take
advantage of the slender opportunity
fortune had granted them, stepped to
the first door and opened it.
The light from the cabin entering
disclosed Fedora seated on a chair,
having refused to retire to the berth
after the terror of the last two nights.
She was awake, and the astonish
ment felt at seeing the marquis al
most caused her to faint.
