CHAPTER XIV.

nREWSTER'S heart almost ceas-
ed beating and every vestige
of color left his face. Clear
~ and distinct in the light from
the yacht the Arab and his burden
were outlined against the black
screen beyond There was no mistak-
ing the earnestness Of the threat, nor
could the witnesses doubt the CHASTITY
intention of the long cruel knife that
cleaned on high. Peggy's body ssrv-
ed as Il shield for that Of her captor
Brewster and Bragdon recognized the
man as one of Mohammed's principal
retainers, fierce looking fellow who
had attracted more than usual atten-
ton on the day of the sheik's visit.
For Gods sake, don't kill her"
cried Brewster in agonized tones.
There was a diabolical grin on the
face Of the Arab, who was about to
shout back some defiant taunt when
the unexpected happened.
The sharp crack Of gun sounded
In the stern of Brewster's boat, and
an unerring bullet sped straight for
the big Arabs forehead. 1t crashed
been instantaneous. The knife flew
from his hand, his body Strengthened
and then collapsed, topping over, not
among the oarsmen, but across the
gunwale of the craft. Before hand
could be lifted to prevent. the dead
Arab and the girl were plunged into
the sea.

Americans and something surprising
ly like shout Of triumph from the alb
ductors. Even as Brewster poised for
the spring into the water a flying form
shot past him and into the sea with a
resounding splash. The man that fired
the shot had reckoned cleverly, and he
was carrying out the final details of an
inspired plan. The Arabs position as
he stood in the boat was such as to
warrant the sailors belief that he
could fall no other way than forward,
and that meant over the side of the
boat. With all this clearly in mind
he had shot straight and true and was
on his way to the water almost as the
two toppled overheard.
Monty Brewster was in the water an
instant later. striking out for the spot
where they had disappeared. little to
the left OF the course in which his
boat was running. There was a rattle
of firearms. with curses and cheers,
but he paid no heed to these sounds.
He was length or two behind the
sailor. praying with all his soul that

lost no time in telling his
4 guests. who were at break
fast. Although he had misgivings about
their opinion Of the scheme, he was not
prepared for the ominous silence that
followed his announcement.
Are you in earnest, Mr.. Brewster?.
asked Captain Perry, who was the frs.
of the company to recover from the
surprise.
"Of course 1 am. L chartered this
boat for four months, with the privi-
lege of another month. | can see no
reason to prevent us from prolonging
the trip" Monty's manner was full Of
self assurance as he continued, You
people are so in the habit of protesting
against every suggestion l make that
you can't help doing it now"
But, Monty" said Mrs. Dan, what
II your guests would rather go home?'
Nonsense; you were asked for a i've
months cruise. Besides. think Of get
ting home in the middle of August,
with every one away"
Brave as he was in the presence Of
his friends, in the privacy OF his state
room Monty gave way to the depres-
sion that was bearing down upon him
1t was the hardest task of his life to go
on with his scheme In the face Of oppo-
sition. He knew that every man and
woman on board was against the prop
osition, for his sake at least. and ii was
difficult to be arbitrary under the cir
cumstances. Purposely he avoided Peg
gy all forenoon. His single glance at
her face in the salon was enough to dis
turb him immeasurably
The spirits of the crowd were sub
dued. The North cape had charms, but
the proclamation concerning it had
been too sudden-had reversed too
quickly the general expectation and de-
sire. Many of the guests had plans at
home for August, and even those who
had none were satlated with excite
ment. During the morning they gath
cred In little knots to discuss the situa-
ton. They We're all generous, and each
one was sure that he could cruise in
definitely if on Monty's account the
new voyage were not out of the Ques-
ton. They felt 1t their duty to take
desperate stand
The half hearted little gatherings re-
solved themselves into ominous groups.
and in the end there was call for a
general meeting in the man cabin.
Captain Perry, the first nate and
the chief engineer were included in
the call, but Montgomery Brewster
was not to be admitted Joe Brag-
don loyalty agreed to keep him en-
gagged elsewhere while the meeting
was in progress. The doors were
locked, and a cursory glance assured
the chairman of the meeting, Dan De-
Mile, that no member of the party
was missing save the devoted Brag-
don. Captain Perry was plainly nerv-
GUS and disturbed. Tho others were
the victims of suppressed energy
that presaged subsequent eruptions.

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 exultation
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
great and relentless eye
The Filters boats were in the water
and manned by sturdy oarsmen before
the glad cry went up that the rob-
Der fleet had been discovered. They
were so near the yacht that 1t was
evident the dusky tribesmen were
poor oarsmen. In the clear light from
the ships deck they could be seen pad
ding wildly. their white robes flutter-
ing as though inspired by fear. There
were four boats, all of them crowded
to the gunwales.

Kill every one Of them. Mr.. Brew

tired behind boat when he became
aware of the presence of women on
deck.
Three boats shot away from the side
of the yacht. Brewster and Joe Drag
don in the first. both armed with rifles.
Lets take a shot at EN- cried a
sailor who stood in the stern with his
finger on trigger.
Don't do that! We don't know what

ster. Keep cool, boys. and be ready to
scrap If we have to-" He was half mad
with fear and anxiety, and he was de-
termined to exterminate the band of
robbers if harm came to the girl in
their power
"She's in the second boat came the
cry from the yacht, and the searchlight
was kept on that particular object al
most to the exclusion of the others
But Captain Perry saw the wisdom Of
keeping all of them clearly located in
order to prevent trickery
Brewster's brawny sailor boys came
up like greyhounds, cheering as they
dashed among the boats of the fugi-
tives Three or four shots were fired
into the air by the Jealous American
lads. and there were loud cries from
the Arabs as they veered off panic
stricken. Monty's boat was now in the
path of light and not far behind the
one which held Peggy. He was stand

Arabs. Stop. or we'll kill every one of
you.' His boat was not more than fifty
feet from the other.
Suddenly tall, white robed figure
arose in the middle of the Egyptian
craft, and moment later the pursuers
saw Peggy's form passed up to him
She was instantly clasped by one of
his long arms. and the other was lift
