If we offered him say 100000 he
might regain his sense. What do
you think about it, Mr.. ROCKWELL"
81 am not very hopeful" said Mr..
Rockwell. "In the event we decide
on such a course would suggest
larger amount. I will cheerfully
pledge 100000 to a $5,0O0,0o0 fund"
"That is more than your share"
said Mr.. Morton. 81 think your sug-
gestion as to q larger amount is q
wise one and will pledge half of
it."
This was objected to by all except
by Mr.. Pence, who had been busy
with pencil and announced that he
could not see his way clear to con-
tributing more than $4,000 to any
fund. He explained that money was
at SO low q rate of interest that it
was drug on the market.

"You would RETURN" said Mr..

It was another beautiful day. The
sun was to the starboard of the
yacht. This showed course about
northeast. 1t was evident that the
boat was somewhere off the New
England coast, and not headed for
any South Sea islands. Was it pos
sible that Hestor had repented Of
his rash idea and was about to re.
turn?
Mr.. Kent was the first to appear
in Social Hail." Mr.. Haven soon
joined him, and in short time all Of
the party were ON deck.
Good morning, gentlemen"
Mr.. Hestor stood before them In
the full cruising uniform of New
York yachtsman. He looked I'M
commonly well in it,, He bowed
pleasantly, stepped up to Mr.. Nor
ton, extended his arm and shook
hands cordially with that gentle
! man. He thus greeted the others
and seemed delighted at his recep-
ton.
81 trust that you enjoyed good
nights rest" he said. All had done
so except Mr.. Pence, who said he
did not like the water.
"Oh, you will soon get used to it,"
responded Hestor. "Ah, here comes
Sidney. Good morning, Sidney.
Beautiful day, is it not2 By the way,
where is Mr.. Vincent? Send one of
the boys and call him. You have
not been formally introduced to Mr..
Vincent, have you? I will present
him at the breakfast table. I will
admit that his advent was a bit in
formal don't you know, but he is
here and we must treat him as one
of u.s.
Under the spur of Hestor's good
nature, and the understanding ar
rived at between the captives the
preceding evening, conversation be-.
came general and spirited. Sidney
looked on in quiet amazement. The
stirring events of the day before had
seemingly been forgotten, and the
entire party acted as if bent on
heartily enjoying much-anticipated
pleasure cruise. Mr.. Rockwell quiet
ly explained to Sidney what had been
agreed upon.
"After breakfast" said Mr.. Hestor,
"such of you gentlemen as choose
can change your business suits for
yachting costumes. You will find
them much more comfortable for
lounging around. Mr.. Pence will
look like an old sea dog in the clothes

them placed in your rooms, and if
they do not fit have assorted sizes
from which to make selection. You
will find that I have anticipated
everything. All, here comes Mr.. Vim

invited guest to all present.
Breakfast followed, and it wa
quite a merry party. All were hun

good humor, and kept up running
fire of talk and questions. He per
suaded Mr.. Carmody to promise al
early interview with L. Sylvester Vim
cent, and that Chicago promoter saw
visions of wealth in the aromatic
vapors which arose from his coffee.
When breakfast was ended, MI
Hestor led Mr.. Carmody to the mai
saloon, and with much pride dis

seldom carry more than 500. Now,
what can we do with it?"
He looked at Mr.. Morton.
II do not suppose we can do any
thing with that amount of money"
responded the financier. "That was
not my idea. Still it is a good plan
to know just how much we have on
hand. I look at the matter in this
light: If this man Hestor is not abso-
lutely crazy he has some definite OBJ
ject in view. 1t may take the form
OF demand for ransom. The ques-
ton for us to decide is, first, shall
we pay a ransom; and second, if so,
how much? Personally regard this
in. purely business way. My time
is worth money. We have been
trapped and our time captured with
our persons. I should be willing to
make reasonable compromise.
Since am the one most to blame
for this affair, shall insist on stand
ing half of any fund which may be
agreed upon"
II have often thought of what I
would do if kidnapped and held for
ransom" said Mr.. Carmody in re-
Elective way. II have always thought
that would die rather than pay q
dollar, but now that the fact con-
fronts me believe that the thoughts
Of those at home outweigh my
scruples. I think should be ready
i to contribute to any such fund.-"
"Who are you going to give it toe"
asked Mr.. Kent.
"Why, to Mr.. Hestor," answered
Mr.. Morton.
"It will do no good" replied Mr.
Kent, with the decision of mar
who has unalterably made up his
mind. "He is as crazy as woman's

my words; it will do no good to tall,
