Mr.. Codd shook his head ,gravely.,
No! they certainly had no grudge.
Nothing more was to be CLEANED from
them. Whatever their connection with
George Bertram or Gideon Hayle may
have been, they were not<going to com

misery they had suffered, had, touched
the kindly white residents Of that far
off place, and: a subscription was
raised, for them, resulting#in the. col
lection of an amount sufficient to en-
able them to reach ERangoon in com

at that well-known seaport, they Wis

whom IL was plain they were well ao-
quainted. The interview waspresum-
ably satisfactory on both sides, for
when they left the house Kitwater
squeezed Colds hand, saying as he
did 50: . .t@
"we'll have him yet, Coddy,5 my boy,
mark my words, well have him yet.
He left in the Jemadar,. and He thinks
we are lying dead in the jungle at this
moment, It's scarcely his fault that
we are not, is it? But when wesget hold
Of him, well---.well, we'll let him
see what We can do, won't we,
old boy? He stole the treasure
and 2sneaked@ away, abandoning US
to our fate. In consequences u
shall never see the light again; and
you'll never speak to mortal man.
We've Mr.. Gideon Hayle to thank for
that, and if we have to. tramp, round
the world to do tiff we have to hunt
for him in every coun tryaons the face
Of the earth, we'll repaysthe debt we
owe him." ~....s...z.. Ill. ~ -. g....@.
Nj. Codd's bright little eyes. twinkled
in reply. Then they shook hands sol

prove bad day for Gideon Hayle
should he ever have the ill-luck to fall
into their hands. :, ~ . r. .....=
Two days later they shipped aboard
the mailboat Is steerage passengers
for England: They had been mission
aries in China, so it .was 1nmored on
board, and their zeal had been repaid
by the :cruelest torture On q Sun
day in the Indian ocean, Kiitt,later held
q service on deck, which was attended
by every class. He preached an elo-
quent sermon on the labors of the
missionaries in the. far east, and
from that moment became so popular
on board that, when the steamer
reached English waters, subscription
was taken up on behalf of the suffer
ers, which resulted in the collection of
an amount sufficient to help them well
on their way to London as soon as they
reached Liverpool. s.,s .3,} e. -
''Now," said Kitwater, a. they stood
together at the wharf with the pitiless
English rain pouring down upon them,
wetting them to the skin, ''what we
have to do lis to find Gideon Hayle as
soon as possible" s
