most Cue west. 1t was night before
the ragged coast of Cuba faded in
the eastern sky. The day was warm,
but it was pleasant under the avn
ings and the six passengers thor
oughly enjoyed the afternoon.
Mr.. Seymour told some of his news
paper experiences, and kept the party
in laughter and good spirits. In the
evening Mrs. White took her place
at the piano, and persuaded Miss Car
mody to sing. Her voice was singular
ly sweet and sympathetic. Capt.
Baldwin and several of his officers
stood in the doorway and enjoyed
the musical treat. Then Mrs. White
played some familiar airs, and all
joined in the chorus.
1t was midnight when the voyagers
retired to their rooms. The weather
continued fine the following day,
which passed without incident worth
recording. Mr.. Chalmers seemed to
have no difficulty in monopolizing
most of Miss Carmody's time. This
did not escape the attention of Mr..
Seymour.
fThat will be the next kidnapping
case" he remarked to Jack Stevens
as Chalmers and Miss Carmody prom
enaded past them.
Tuesday morning the snow-capped
peaks of Mexico lifted their crestsi
out of the ocean, showing faint and
purple in the distance. 1t was late
in the afternoon when the yacht
dropped anchor in Tampico harbor.
/ Col. Mcintyre, Seymour and Stevens
went ashore in search of the pilot,
and Mr.. Chalmers escorted Miss Car
mody and Mrs. White through the
streets of the quaint old Mexican
town. Col. Mcintyre made the dis
covery that the pilot had been in
Vera Cruz, and would not return UNI
til late at night. There was nothing
when the schooner on which the Mex
lean pilot had shipped dropped into
the harbor, and to the delight of all
he was found on board. Col. Mcintyre
explained what he wanted, and when
Chalmers offered the necessary finan-
cial inducements the pilot consented
to make the trip. 1t was three o'clock
in the morning before the "Helen
Carmody'' was headed in the direc-
ton of Vera Cruz.
An early breakfast was served
Wednesday morning. The pilot an
nounced that they should be at their
destination between II and 10 o'clock
that forenoon, and all were excited.
Miss Carmody was pale but composed.
The hour was fast approaching when
her hopes would be crushed or her
happiness made complete. Her heart

Helen. "All did was to hope and
pray and trust that God would be

"You are brave little girl" said
Mr.. Carmody. ITO whom are we in
debted for this splendid service? All,
here is Mr.. Chalmers! How do you
do. Mr.. Chalmers? Am 1 to thank
you for this reunion with my dear
daughter?"
"Not at ALL" said Mr.. Chalmers, as
he shook hands cordially with the
great capitalist. ''You may thank the

Mr.. Chalmers is too modest to tell
you the truth about what he has
done, papa" said Miss Helen, giving
the young journalist look which
made him supremely happy. "He has

Again the whistle sounded it's well
come note, and the screw churned the
gulf as the signal was given to back
water.
There's papa!" exclaimed Miss
Carmody. Her hand frightened con-
yulsively on Chalmers arm, but she
did not faint or go into Mysteries.
This was not Carmody trait.
.sThere he is God bless him!" she
exclaimed, as Mr.. Carmody waved his
hand and shouted: "God is very good
to us; they are all safe!"
The sun broke through the haze,
and every figure on the raft showed
sharply in the flood of light. AT the
forward end of the craft monkey
tugged at his chain and jabbered
in excitement Sidney Hammond and
Mr.. Kent were cutting away the LASH
ings of the dingy. The raft was now
so near the yacht that Capt. Bald
win gave the order to go slowly
ahead, so as to avoid collision.
The boat-boom swung into place,
and the gig was lowered. Four sail
ors leaped into the boat, and with
lusty strokes were speeding to the
raft. There was quite a sea on, and
the gig had difficulty in approach
ing "The Jumping Jupiter" But in
"a few minutes Mr.. Carmody, Mr..
Rockwell, Mr.. Haven and Mr.. Nor
ton were on board the dancing gig
and on their way, to the yacht.
AS the gig neared the "Helen Car
mody," the crew and it's guests lined
up along the rail and gave cheer
after cheer. A stalwart seaman
helped them to fra foothold on
the gangway. A moment later, a
big, sunburned man held in his arms
his brave, beautiful daughter.

asked Miss Helen. rather Indefinitely,

hopes might crumble into nothing
ness. There was no positive proof
that Hestor had taken his captives
to the bungalow. The tears came to
her eyes several times, but she
checked her emotions, and laughed at
some of Seymour's characteristic re-
marks.
The yacht was running almost due
south, and was about is miles off
shore. There was faint haze over
the water, but it was lifting in the
quickening west breeze. Mr.. Seymour
was seated near the bow of the yacht.

''Do not get excited. 1 think we have

Miss Carmody turned pale for. an
instant. and almost staggered as she
started to rise. She took Chalmers

The motion OF the engines ceased,

Mr.. Carmody greeted these gentle
men heartily, and was introduced to
Col Mcintyre. Mr.. Rockwell, Mr..
Haven and Mr.. Kent joined the group.
In the democracy of joy or peril,
formal introductions are unneces-
sary. Everyone talked and laughed
at once. Mr.. Rockwell so far for
got his dignity and the polite con-
ventionalities as to hit Mr.. Carmody

liberty not in the least resented by
that gentleman.
Mr.. Haven proposed three cheers
for Miss Helen Carmody. AS the
sturdy yell was given there came
an answering cheer from ''The Jump

what I want to know is this"
said Mr.. Rockwell, as they watched
the gig approach the raft. "What is
the name of that island over there?"
Mr.. Rockwell waved his hand to the
west. The haze was lifted SO that
the shore was clearly visible.
"What island do you mean, Mr..
RockweH?" asked Capt. Baldwin.
"The island we have been occupy
ing for the past two weeks re-
piled Mr.. Rockwell Eve tried all yes

Mr.. Carmody laughed heartily.
So we have been on the mainland
all the time, have we?"- he said. "Well,
that is pretty good. But we might
as well have been on an island. A
rabbit could not get to 'Morton's
Bay unless he knew how to swim.
Well, we had good time if we were

Mr.. Carmody explained the discovery
of the gold idols in the old ruined

Mr.. Carmody formally introduced

catch the name exactly"
''yincent-L. Sylvester Vincent, Of

'oh yes, you are the man arrest

HALCOMBE FAMILY
 HAS NARROW ESCAPE
HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT OF THE RESIDENCE AT WOODLAWN WHEN ROOF FELL lN-HOUSE IS COMPLETELY BURNED.

J. H. Holcombe and his family barely escaped from being burned to death yesterday morning by fire, which destroyed their residence in Woodlawn. The flames had gathered such headway before the family was aroused that they had just gotten outside the front door when the roof fell in. and had they been a moment longer they would probably have been caught under the falling tim bers.
 The house was completely destroyed, and the total loss on building and furni- ture was s45OO, on which there was only s14Oo insurance. The fire was discovered about o'clock yesterday morning by MT. Holcombe, who was aroused by the flames. He walked the other members ot the family and they ran out of the house without being able to save anything. Neighbors gathered and tried to save some of the furniture but were unable to en- ter the house on account of the heat
 The house is on Fifth avenue in Wood lawn and near Velma station on the Gate City car line The origin of the fire and in which portion of the building 1t caught Is unknown.
