the girl following close behind. Three
sharp little whistles came from above
and behind them, but before they had
time even to speculate as to their
meaning the result was in evidence.
Over the sides of the ship came shad-
owy forms as IL by magic; at their
backs panther-like bodies dropped to
the deck with stealthy thuds, az II com.
Ing from the inky sky above. There
was an instant Of dreadful calm and
then the crisis. A dozen sinewy forms
hurled themselves upon Brewster, who,
taken completely by surprise, was
thrown to the deck in an instant, his
attempt to cry out for help being check
ed by heavy hands. Peggy's scream
was cut or as quickly, and, paralyzed
by terror, she felt herself engulfed in
strong arms and smothered into silence.
1t all happened so quickly that there
was no chance to give the alarm, no op-
portunity to resist

with all his weight and fell back with
a crash to the deck. Afterward he
found that the effort to throw him
overheard had failed only because his
assailants in their haste had hurled
him against an unseen stanchion.
Peggy was borne forward and low
cred swiftly into arms that deposited
her roughly upon something hard.
There was a jerky, rocking motion,
the sudden splash Of oars. and then
she knew no more.
The invaders had planned with
craftiness and patience that deserved
success. For hours they had waited,
silently, watchfully and with deadly
assurance. How they crept up to the
Filter in such numbers and how the
more daring came aboard long before

couple or retainers out of his path and
facing the beaming suitor. An inter-
prefer took hand at this juncture, and
the doughty captain finally was made
to understand the object of the visit.
He laughed in the sheik's face and told
the mate to call up a few jackies to
drive the 'dagoes" off. Rip Van Win
kle interfcred, and peace was restored.
The cruise had changed Rip into hap
pier and far more radiant creature, SO
it was only natural that he should have
shared the secret with Mary Valen-
tine. He had told the story of the
sheii'S demand to her as soon as he
came aboard, and she had divulged it
to Peggy the instant Rip was out Of
sight.
Brewster found the shek sitting In
state on the upper deck impatiently
awaiting the appearance of his charm
er. He did not know her name, but he
had TRANQUILITY commanded Rip to pro.
duce all of the women on board so that

now was in the secret, were preparing
to march the ladies past the ruler when
Monty came up.
Has he seen Peggy?" he asked Of
Van Wrinkle.
Not yet She is dressing for the &C.
casion."
We'll, wait and see what happens to
him when she gets over the first
shock" laughed Monty.
Just then the sheik discovered Peg
gy, who. pretty as picture, drew
near the strange group. To her amaze
ment, two slaves rushed forward and
INSTRUCTED her passage long enough to
beat their heads on the deck few
times, after which they arose and ten
dered two magnificent necklaces. She
was prepared for the proposal, but this
action disconnected her. She gasped
and looked about in perplexity. Her
friends were smiling broadly, and the
sheik had placed his hands over his
palpitating heart.
"Lothario has a PAIN" whispered
Rip Van Wrinkle alphabetically, and
Brewster laughed. Peggy did not hes
itate an instant after hearing the
laugh. She walked straight toward
the sheik. Her cheeks were pink, and
her eyes were flashing dangerously
The persistent brown slaves followed
with the jewels, but she ignored them
completely. Brave as she intended to
be, she could not repress the shudder
of repulsion that went over her as she

he began pouring forth volumes of

tortions so intense that they were lit

the blow was struck no one ever ex-
planned. So quickly and so accurately
was the abduction performed that the
boats were well clear Of the yacht
before alarm was given by one Of the
watch, who had been overlooked In
the careful assault.
Sleepy sailors rushed on deck with
promptness that was amazing. Very
quickly they had found and unbound
Brewster, carried couple Of wound
ed shipmates below and had Captain
Perry in his pajamas on deck to take
command.

While swift hands were lowering
the boats for the chase others were
carrying firearms ON deck. The search
light threw its mighty white arm out
over the water before many seconds
had passed, and eager eyes were look
ing for the boats of the pillagers. The
Arabs had reckoned without the
searchlight. Their fierce exultatdon
died suddenly when the mysterious
streak of light shot into the sky and
then swept down upon the sea, hunt
ing them out Of the darkness like q

The Filters boats were in the water

the glad cry went up that the rob-

THE FIREMEN.

The city council Of Anderson has
voted an appropriation Of $4,000 to
pay the expenses Of the local fircmcn
who will go to Ashcvillc in july to
take part in the tournament. The ap-
preparation passed without any OBJ
lection on the part Of any Of the
members OF the council. This tour
namcnt will be held on the 9th, 10th,
and nth, Of July.
Our Ncwbcrry fire department
should be represented in this tournn-
mcnt, but we suppose it is scarcely
necessary to suggest it even, innsmucl
as the council would not pay tho cx-
pcnscs OF our Delegates to the George
town meeting, and to pay ~ much as
two or three hundred dollars to per-
nit the fircmcn to enter the tourna-
mcnt at Ashevillo might give some
member OF tho council temporary
paralysis. Still it has always been
our position TINT our local fire depart
mcnt should be encouraged in every
Legitimate wny. They arc paid moth
ing, and whenever we have fire
they arc rs faithful and rs prompt
as if they were paid department.
If it should happen that we would be
forced to have paid department tho
cost would be II great deal more than
these small sums which should be ap-
proprntcl and which, if they were,
would cause the volunteer fircmcn to
feel that the property owners apprc-
rintcd their work and their efforts
whenever II fire occurs.
