 .So I've let you in at last, Bunny at last and after all! If you knew how sorry I am. But you won't get much. I don't see why you should get any thing at all.

Some day or other you mayn't be sorry to remember you were good pal at the last"'
 There was meaning in his eye that l understood, and my teeth were set and my nerves strung ready as I wrung that strong and cunning hand for the last time in my life.
 How that last scene stays with me and will stay to my death! How l see every detail. every shadow on the sun lit deck. We were among the islands that dot the course from Genoa to Ma ples. That was Elha falling back on our starboard quarter, that purple patch with the hot sun settling over it, The captains cabin opened to star board, and the starboard promenade deck, sheeted with sunshine and scored with shadow, was deserted but for the group of which 1 was one, and for the pale, slim, brown figure aft with Raf- fes Engaged? I could not believe it, cannot to this day. Yet there they stood together, and we did not hear word There they stood out against the sunset and the long, dazzling high way of sunlit sea that Sparkled, from Elba to the Uhlan's plates, and their shadows reached almost to our feet.
 Suddenly-an instant-and the thing was done, thing I have never known whether to admire or to detest. He caught her, he kissed her before us all then flung her from him so that she al most fell It was that action which foretold the next. The mate sprang after him, and sprang after the mate

Meanwhile Il boat Was lowered and the sca secured to no purpose. as is doubtless on record elsewhere.

 For tue boat was back, the screw throbbing and the prisoner peering through his pefthoie across tue sunlit waters that lie believed had closed for ever over his comrades head.

So at last l gave it up. Ana 1 saw him next in the captains cabin.
 They had summoned him first He had gone in smiling, and smiling l found him when they summoned me. The stateroom was spacious, as befit- ted that of Il commander. Mackenzie sat on the settee, his beard in front of him on the polished table, but revolv- CT lay ill front of the captain, and when l had entered the chef officer, who had summoned ne, shut the door ana put his back to it. Von Heumann completed the party, his fingers busy with lis inustacs:e.
 Rallies greeted ne

 My eyes fell with the rest. but no pearl was there. Only the contents of our pockets-our watches. pockptbooks. pencils, penkniveS cigarette cases-lay on the shiny table along with the re volycr already mentioned.

 "On that table, by all my gods.
 Mackenzie opened tue cigarette cases and shook each particular cigarette Therennon Rallies prayed to be allow ed to smoke one, and when his prayer was heard observed that the pearl had been on the table much longer than the cigarettes Mackenzie promptly caught up the Colt and opened the chamber in the butt
 Not there, not there," said Rallies, "but you're getting hot. Try the car tridges.'
 Mackenzie emptied them into his palm and shook each one at his ear without result.
 "Oh, give them to mep'
 And in an instant Rallies had found the right one, had bitten out the bullet and placed the emperor's pearl with a flourish in the center of the table.
 After that you will perhaps show me such little consideration as is in your power. Captain, I have been a bit of a villain, as you see, and as such I am ready and willing to lie in irons all night if you deem it requi site fer the safety of the ship. All ask is that you do me one favor first

 Captain, I've done a worse thing aboard your ship than any of you know. I have become engaged to be married, and want to say goodby.a

 "I wouldna' dare," said Mackenzie gravely as he fumbled in his breast pocket, and Rallies dived his hand into his own "Haud his wrist! shouted the Scotchman. and the huge Colt that had been with us many night, but had never been fired in my hearing, clattered on the table and was raked in by the captain.
 "All right" said Rallies savagely to the mate. You can let go now. I won't try it again. Now, Mackenzie, let's see your walrant!'
 "Ye'H no bsishandle it."
 ''What good would that do me? Let me see it." said Rallies peremptorily, and the detective obeyed. Rallies raised his eyebrows as he perused the document; his mouth hardened, but suddenly relaxed and it was with smile and a shrug that he returned the paper.
 "Wull that do for ye?" inquired Mackenzie.
