In fact I expect it to be the brightest comet of the past ten years"

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.
Sir Peter Markham is yachting In the Medi-
terranean with his daughter Eve and his private
secretary, Dick Knight, a clever fellow, but with
prospects. The GIRL understanding the reti-
cence of the young man, induces him to make
love to her. Her father hears the confession,
for which tho girl takes the responsibility. The
father. who made his money In South Africa,
however, disconrages the idea, as knight is nei-
tier rich genius. 1t is arranged that the
private secretary shall leave at Tangier. In the
meantime the yacht comes a strange
craft. There appears to be one on board, and
their crew resolve to board this mysterious
sell Dick leads the way. The yacht proves to
be eNtluisitely furnished and some of the cabins
had lately been occupied by woman. There

the time being, affords no clue, but the my ystery
is deepened by the discovery OF large iron cage

He saw her, young and beautiful, and he
did not believe that she was the Eve Des-
mond whom Sir Peter Markham had loved
a quarter of a century ago. Eve Des-
mond's> hair would have been grey; she
would have been almost an old woman
now. Still, whether this woman of mys-
terry were Sir Peters lost bride or no, the
bargain would hold, He-Dick-had but
to discover what the connection had been
between the owner of the mOnOgrammed
watch and the woman whose face was in
side, and the promised reward-that
"chance" for which he was ready to sac
rifice so much-Was his.
The watch lay no longer on the dress
ing-table in the deserted stateroom. DICK
knew that Sir Peter had taken 1t away,
without speaking of it's. existence to any
one but him. He had not been allowed to
examine the hidden face inside; its
beauty had been too sacred to Sir Peter
for other eyes to see, no doubt. Every
thing else, however, had been left un-
touched in the deserted staterooms, un-
less Sir Peter had deliberately deceived
him; and Dick wondered whether, among
all the trinkets and clothing in the ward
robes, there were not something Whlch
might give clue to the trained eye OF a.
professional detective. The mans coats
for instance; the tailorss name would be
of some value as means of identification.
Nobody seemed to have thought of that
yet, though it was obvious enough And
the woman's gowns; surely, fashionable
dressmakers must put their hal-marKs
somewhere upon their choice creations
And they would remember what had gone
out of their establishments within the past
few months to important clients.
Dick half smiled at himself for his rest
lessness. Within the course of the last
two hours he had been here, there, and
everywhere on the yacht, except into the
two unused staterooms, one Of which he
had annexed for himself, during the un-
certain period of his residence on the
yacht Now he could not rest in the sa-
loon, but must have look at the, con-
tents of those wardrobes. He meant to
go first to the mans stateroom, where the
watch had been found, and the ring with
that strangely familiar motto: My honor
is my life," but something impelled him to
walk first to the door Of the woman S
cabin. He turned the handle, pushed the
door open and was dumfounded to hear
a sly, rustling sound on the other side. .

evaporated finally, without having been
wiped away. Dick rubbed the stain with
his finger and found it sticky. He smelled
it, and thought that he detected the odor
of stale claret
Perhaps the first officer was on watch,
and wine was brought to the captain here
to drink someone's health the young
man argued. AS for the man at the
wheel, and the first officer, they might
have been given their dose of death before
they went on duty.

He was not alone of the yacht. Two men
had been sent on board by the captain
Of the port to watch the derelict for the
British government, which was responsible
for her until she should be claimed by per-
sons as yet unknown. AS the galleys were
not to be disturbed for the present no
cooking could be done on board. The men
would take turns in going ashore for their
principal meals, and Dick intended to do
the same, but he was not inclined to stop
! work tonight for such a trif1e as dinner.
The men had bread and cheese and beer,

thing from them If hunger pressed. He

triumph when he found only four thick
glass tumblers. There must have been
a dozen others, for the crew alone; yet
none were to be found, after search.
Something had been drunk, Dick assured
himself, and the glasses thrown away. He
found no empty bottles, however, and
was rewarded by discovering no more
corks. Only that one little clue in the
dining saloon had been forgotten. But
there was the captains cabin. That had
not been explored since knight had begun
