Mrs. Dan DeA1ille was keen enough
to see how the land lay, and she at
once tried to set matters straight. She
was far too clever to push her cam

lions and then built cunningly and Sc
curely with the most substantial mate

day. Her subjects were taking them

steamed off to the west A cablegram
that came the day before may have
had something to do with Brewster's
depression, but he was not the sort to
confess it. It was from Swearengen
Jones Of Butte, Mont, and there was
something sinister in the laconic adj
monition. It read:
Brewster, L. S. Consulate, Alexandria:

His brain was almost bursting with
the hopes and fears and uncertainties
that crowded it far beyond it's ordinary
capacity. It had come to the point, it
seemed to him, when the brains Of
dozen men at least were required to
operate the affairs that were surging
into his alone. The mere fact that the
end Of his year was less than two
months off and that there was more or
less uncertainty as to the character of
the end was sufficient cause for wor-
~, but the new trouble was infinitely
harder to endure. When he sat down
to think over his financial enterprises
his mind treacherously wandered off to
Peggy Gray, and then everything was
hopeless. He recalled the cOura pc and

were now poured forth upon the unfor-

the remuneration of the others was so
decisive that Reggie sought refuge in
the chart house. But the atmosphere
had been materially cleared, and the
leaders of the mutiny were in a posi-

consider the matter. The women wait

They were unanimous in the oDinion
that the affair had been badly man.
aged.
"They should have offered to stay by
the ship provided Monty would let Mr..
DeMille manage the cruise" said Miss
Valentine. ''That would have been a
concession, and at the same time it
would have put the cruise on an eco
nomical basis"
In other words, you will accept a
mans invitation to dinner if he will
allow you to order it and invite the
other guests said Peggy, who was
quick to defend Monty.
"Well, that would be better than
helping to eat up every bit of food he
possessed" But Miss Valentine al
ways avoided argument when she
could and gave this as parting thrust
before she walked away.

Bragdon had reached the stage where
he dared not speak and was busying

lessly. '"T'his smoke is getting thick.

One Whit of the sweet smelling
cologne was enough for Bragdon and
he bolted up the companionway, leav-
Ing the stateroom door wide open and
the prisoner free to go where he pleas
ed. Monty's first impulse was to fol-
low, but he checked himself on the
threshold.
Hang that bet with DeMille," he
said to himself, and added aloud to the
fleeing guard, "The key, JOEL dare
you to come back and get it!'
But Bragdon was beyond recall and
Monty locked the door on the inside
and passed the key through the ven
tilator
On deck small part of the company
braved the spray in the lee of the deck
house, but the others had long since
gone below. The boat was pitching
furiously in the ugliest sea it had en-
countered, and there was anxiety un-
derneath Captain Perry's mask Of I'M
concern. DeMille and DR.. Lotless talk
ed in the senseless way men have
when they try to conceal their nerv-
BUSINESS. But the women did not re-
spond; they were in no mood for con-
versation.
Only one Of them was quite oblivious
to personal discomfort and danger
Peggy Gray was thinking Of the pris-
Oner below. In reflection Of her own
terror she pictured him crouching in
the little stateroom like a doomed
criminal awaiting execution, alone,
neglected, forgotten, unpitied. At first
she pleaded with the men for his re-
lease, but they insisted upon waiting
in the hope that scare might bring
him to his senses. Peggy saw that no
help was to be secured from the other
women, much as they might care for
Brewster's peace of mind and safety.
Her heart was bitter toward every one
responsible for the situation, and there
was dark rebellion in her SOUL 1t cul-
minated finally in a resolve to release
Monty Brewster at any cost.
With difficulty she made her way to
the stateroom door, clinging to sup
ports at times and then plunging vio-
lently away from them. For some
minutes she listened, frantically clutch
ing Brewster's door and the wall rail.
There was no guard, and the tumult
Of the sea drowned every sound with
In. Her Imagination ran riot when her
repeated calls were not answered.
Monty, Monty' she cried, pound
ing wildly on the door.
"Who is it? What is the trouble?"
came in muffled tones from within, and
Peggy breathed a prayer of thanks.
Just then she discovered the key which
Monty had dropped and quickly open
ed the door, expecting to find him cow
ering with fear. But the picture was
different. The prisoner was seated on
the divan, propped up with many pill
lows and reading with the aid of an
electric light '"The Intrusions Of Peg
U."

"Of course I am. 1 chartered this
