But Tomasso's words make them
feel they have little time to lose. Be-

with white lips: This tower is
mined!" Together they go up the
stairs, carefully examining every orr

Anstruther has thrown of his coat

taken off his stockings. Toes will
cling to the rough stonework better

make him crazy. He springs to the
window and muttered oath parts his

Whiffs in the Air.

Some time after midday, Mr.. Barnes,
in pursuit Of Anstruther, reaches
Ponte-alla-Lecchia, where the people
are now crOwding about the polling
house. He doesn't stop here and con-

turned back and followed him last
night, not to-day"
This makes him hurry all the more,
and his horse is quite exhausted when
he descends the hill past the convent
and pauses at the little inn near the
famous water Of Orezza.
The American has heard of their
curious powers, and asks for some, as
he gazes languidly on the communal
of the little village, around which the
men are still clustering.
The heat has been tremendous: his
speed has been quite great; the hills
have been precipitous. Barnes face is
again covered with lines of fatigue.

Three large buildings on the estate
of Count Moltke at Marienborg, near
Siege, were burned to the ground in
the middle of the day. The stock
was saved. The loss is $4,000. The
fire is supposed to have been started
by sparks from the creamery.
The reports from the fisheries of
Denmark for the year 1906 have just
been elaborated. They show that the
total returns were s3,351, 91446. There
were 81 more fishermen than in 1905,
and the value of the craft was 1885,
900 larger. The value Of the fishing
gear was $4,000 larger. The fishing
fleet of the Farce islands consisted
of 12S craft, and the returns were
$37S, 600.

This is very extraordinary. This
branch, which supposed Marina drop
ped out of the carriage yesterday, was
certainly cut this very morning"
Suspicion flashes through him as he
questions: Can these flowers have
been strewn in the road by Cipriano's
agents to lead someone on?" and what
had been no warning to the easy-going
sailor becomes a danger signal to the
man of the world.
Yet, twist it how he will, Barnes can
see no reason why Danella should
want anyone near him save Marina.
II the Corsican's passion for that
young lady is what he thinks it is, he
will prefer free hand to deal with
her alone. "And yet it is evident some
body wanted somebody to follow this
cyclamen trail, and whether somebody
wants it or not, am here anyway"
thinks the American grimly. And
thanks to the divine Orezza water,
am rather fit for fighting" Then care.

way over the path marked by the eye.

BY the time he has come out on the
hills looking down toward the Tuscan
sea, it is very dark. There is no moon
yet, but the light from the lone watch
tower attracts him. The cyclamen
flowers he occasionally picks up make
him know this is the road Anstruthe1

Suddenly, but quietly, he :urns hia

the Shore
The men have no sooner passed
than Barnes STARTS quickly down the
road. The lady," he guesses, means
either Marina or his own bride, though
OF the last he has slight hope.'' A sub
dued light from the town guides him
in the darkness.
But when he is within less than a
hundred yards of the building, his
horse, with sudden snort of terror
draws up right in the path, crouching
on his launches, and Barnes peering
over his steed's head, gazes into the
deep chasm that descends sheer to'the

bling horse, the American finds that
the bridge, which is light, swinging
one not over IS feet in length, has
been swung to the other side.
The scent Of a fresh cyclamen bloom
enters his nostrils. He looks at the
removed bridge and remarks acutely:
It's evident Cipriano has got on the
other side the person he wished to fol.

So Barnes gazes across the chasm
he cannot pass. The night being very
still, he hears over the soft murmur
OF the waves beneath him the sweet
romantic music of Corsica rising from
boat. IT'S the playing of strlnged in
struments accompanying sweet ma
tive love song, each stanza ending in
that curious prolonged note peculiar
to these island ditties.
What the deuce is that bizarre,
crafty devils game?" wonders the
American. Then he hears voices from
the low Corsican house. Beyond the
crevices he sees Marina in white robe
amid the lights and flowers of the
veranda. Her sweet tones are scarce
audible. Then Danella's voice reaches
him family in the soft night air.
He begins to understand and NUT.

The speaker, a Russian cigarette

"Oh, yes" he said, 1T is no doubt

"Oh, hang it, what have they done
to you, smarty?" growls the detective
angrily. Then he cries: GLORY halle

run down the ladder and is busy try

Americans legs.

strikes another match and on the
ground story finds, after some little de-
lay, bunch of keys hanging on the
wall.

which are rusty, Elijah's legs are re-

their Internal vessel dashed about the
Mediterranean after you. When they
gave up chasing you they stopped
here and put me away carefully in
that hole down there"
Suddenly he cries: What are YOU
doing?" for Edwin has his hands in an
iron riag and is trying to pull up an.
other trap door in the flooring.
Il want tools by which we can break
enough masonry from one of these
embra@;lres to get OUT" says the
sailor.
But pulling up the trap door, both he
and tho American gaze astounded into
