"Quite right. but Prunella Chartris
shan't hear of a vendetta. Well turn
up at Villefranche, Edwin. in about
four days, leave the ladies there, amply
guarded. and then you and |. my jolly
seadog, viii turn our attention to our
Corsican friends. We viii be footloose,
and can do the hunting and killing. if
necessary, and settle the affair in some
way definitely and forever" Barnes
manner is lighter than his heart.
You'll find me with you." answers
the English lieutenant, his eyes blaZ-
ing as if he were on the bridge of his
ship in action. This is the second
time, because she loved me. that my
bride has been driven to despair. But"
here his tone becomes very anxious
'how do you think we can make our
dear ones safe? How do you expect to
get Enid and Marina from Marseilles
unnoticed by the people that are al
ready hunting US, to the villa near
Nicer"
What do wild animals do when they
are hunted? Take to the water" re-
marks Burton. That leaves no trail
Do YOU think, Anstruther, that you can
navigate a yacht?"
do you think that you can shoot a
pistol straight?" growls the British ma
val officer.
Every we'll yacht will be waiting
for US, engaged by Emory. 1t wasn't
difficult at this season of the year; a
good many are going out of commits
sion in these waters. There will be
nothing but English seamen on board,
not over many of them. She is a
schooner, / believe; reasonably well
found, reasonably fast and with cabin
accommodations for our limited party.
Well put the girls on board tonight.
We're both armed and our party will
not be noticed driving on the PradO,
where everybody drives. In a little
bay, as / have arranged it, off the
Corniche road, near the Bains du Rou-
cas- Blanc, a boat viii be waiting. There
we'll put the ladies on board and sail
away. Then who'll be able to tell
where we go to-"
with a quadrant and compass on
board. why shouldn't 1 take you
through the Bay of Biscay to London %
replies Anstruther.
AS a physician, I doubt if Marina
could stand the tossing she might get
in the Bay of Biscay and the Atlantic.
AT this season the waters are generally
quiet here" remarks Barnes.
You think my bride is as ill as all
that?" Edwin clasps his hands togeth-
er with a gesture of alright.
Il think as a physician without prac-
tice," remarks Barnes. in professional
tone that the French doctor is per-

would avoid brain fever she requires
absolute rest and mighty good. nurs-

on to London by the morning train
properly attended and, guarded, of
course"
It's just as well you didn't make
that suggestion" replies Miss An
struther, decidedly. II shouldn't have
gone"
Yes, II know you always like to
be at the front of the scrimmage,
Enid" remarks Barnes. so just keep
an eye out, Edwin. that no one intrudes
upon your wife, and I'll finish up all the
arrangements about the yacht with
Emory"
Edwin rises, but at the door. which
had been left open so that the gentle
men could keep their eye on the pass
age to Marina's room, he turns. and
noting Barnes longing eyes directed
toward his sister, says with sailor
bluntness: ''Old man, you seem to think
of everybody but yourself in this mat

cruise won't permit you and Enid to
