Jessie shed tears of vexation. but

John with a wistful little smile on her
lips.

she said. Lets get as far as we can

stepped on board. The wind had
scarcely filed the sail when Morris
came running down the pier. He stop

and glared at them as they glided
away, brute rage showing in every
feature of his flushed face. His
friends followed and led him back.
Little was said between the two
as the boat moved swiftly along. Each
was busy with thoughts. and both
seemed under the spell of threatened
trouble. John pointed the boat for
Minot's Light. and having passed in

When the launch approached. Ar
thur Morris was seen in the bow.
There were several richly dressed
young women in the party. John Burt
saw at glance that Morris and some
of his companions were under the in
fiuence of liquor. Jessie guessed as
much, and her suspicious became a
certainty when Morris stepped un-
steadily to the landing and came
toward her, a vacant smile mantling
his face.
"A thousand pardons, Miss Garden"
he said, his voice husky and his body
very erect, but wavering. "A thou
sand pardons, Detention unavoidable,
assure you-un' 'void'ble detention, as
sure you! Sail right, though; sail
right now. Allow me, Miss Garden"
and he stepped forward to offer his
arm. John Burt remained by Jessies
side.
DO not dare to speak to me, sir!"
cried Jessie. shame and anger driving
the crimson to her face. Don't let
him come near me, John!' she ex-
claimed, clinging TO Burts stalwart
arm.
a low. clear tone, glitter in his dark
gray eyes. You are in no condition,
sir, TO meet Miss Garden"
The hashily-dressed throng of
guests was grouped behind Arthur
Morris. One of the young women
grasped Arthur Morris by the lapel
of the coat.
Come on, you fool" she said with
a vindictive little laugh. Don't you
see you're not wanted?" She turned
him half round and Kingsley grabbed
him by the arm.
Come along. commodore" said that
young blood. You are in the wrong
pew. commodore. Cheer up. sad sea
dog; we may be happy yeti" And with
laughter and taunts the guests of the
Voltaire led the yachts befuddled
owner along the pier into the grove.

Like panther. Burt leaped under
the leveled arm. A second shot struck
the ceiling. In a writhing, struggling
mass, amid overturned chairs and
tables. and the flight of panic stricken
spectators both men lurched heavily
to the floor. John Burt uppermost. AS
they fell, third shot was fired. the
report being muffied as the shell ex-
ploded within their close embrace.
The smoking weapon fell to the
floor from the nerveless grasp of Ar
thur Morris. John Burt seized it and
thrust 1t into his pocket. but the pre-
caution was unnecessary. Morris lay
on the sanded floor of the inn. stark
and deathlike. a frown upon his face.
On the white flannel shirt above his
heart was an ominous smear of REQ,
slowly widening in a circle with each
respiration. before the eyes of the
men who bent over him. A froth
tinged with blood oozed and bubbled
from his mouth.
