Collier laughed.

right, sahib, but will try" returned
the Hindu.
Suddenly the Hindu began to intone
monotonously and seemingly without
end:
"Ynath, come! Ynath, come! Ynath,
GOMEZ"
My eyes were glued to the face on
the skull. Could it be? Yes, the skull
gradually was fading from view and
the silver bust was rising and grow
ing, larger, larger, and nearer, until
I stole a glance at the inspector; he
saw it as well-a glorious figure stood
before us, the eyes flashing, the nos
trils distended, and the breast heav.
ing with sentient life.
The power Of description is palsied
at the attempt to picture her. Loosely
clad in folds of shimmering silk,
through which every line and curve
showed as in bas-relief, she was the
living presentment of the face on the
skull; but added to the cold beauty
of line she had the warm loveliness of
life and color that even the ghostly
gaslight could not conceal. A diamond
flashed from her right upper incisor
when she opened her red lips in q
smile. Two other diamonds were set
in the sides of the nostrils, after the
fashion of the dancing girls in the
temple Of Trichinopoly.
Then she spoke, doubtless in her
native Hindustani The words were
unintelligible, but the sweetness of the
voice was as of q maid singing in the
twilight.

Sir Charles heart leaped at this con-
firmation of his hopes and dreams.
"An' give you my word" continued
the captain, that they amt nowhere
else in the ship. I was down here
just before dark, thought I'd fetch
them some supper, and they was both
asleep, an I didn't have the heart to
wake 'em up. think it's just as this
gentleman says, somethin' must have
alarmed them, maybe they heard your
hail; their boat was draggin' astern,
and they made off in her.
Il have no doubt that you are speak

Captain Tuggles startled violently.
Nay" said the soldier, Il mean no
offense at all, but you don't know
Lady Ellen Darlington, and it's quite
possible that without your knowledge
she's concealed herself in some other
part of the Ship
IF produce her will you take of
your men and your ship and lemme

"Instantly," returned Seton.
1t did not take the sailors long to
search the ship. They found no
trace of Ellen and Deborah whatso-
ever and so reported to Collier.
Il am sorry for you, Sir Charles" :"
said Collier, ''but they have evidently
escaped you. They're cruising around
somewhere in these waters in that
boat. Perhaps we can overhaul them
at daybreak if we have good luck, :"

the money. examined it critically,
walked to the side of the vessel and
dropped it overheard.
What do you mean by that?" cried
Sir Charles, angrily.

for the trouble you've caused and the
insult you've put upon me, but that

Slowly the vision faded Through
the hazy folds of the silken robe
again appeared the dim outlines of the
skull on the table. Clarke released
my hand and the electric lights flashed
up. The inspector sat as in a trance,
his eyes still glued to the skull.

Then I told him what had seen and
what was sure the inspector had also

asked.

we arrived, Inspector Ship met us with
lugubrious countenance and mys.
teriously ushered us into his private
Office and closed and locked the door.
When he had assured himself that
no unbidden ear was listening he
turned to US and said:
Hes gone!"
"Gone!" exclaimed Clarke. "You
don't mean to say you allowed him tn
escape hand-cutted, between our place
and the station?"
"No, got him here safely enough.

There had been several impatient
taps at the inspectors door and so we
departed. AS We were leaving the

to seats in his spacious cabin, whats

What do you mean?" exclaimed the
admiral in bewilderment.

Il wish we knew" answered Sir
Charles with very melancholy air.
But my dear Sir Charles, where
could they have gone? Did you search
