cried.

this afternoon! And what will poor
Senior Suarez say? He was 80 positive
that they would never come near US
after dark"
II saw him also on the promenade
deck" answered Christobal quietly.
HE had very much the semblance of
false prophet"
The Spaniard meant to meet grim
fate with Jest on his lips. He had
seen Suarez lying dead or insensible
close to the rails. In fact, the unlucky
Argentine was only separated by the
thickness of the ships deck from the
table near which Elsie was standing.
Unless he were speedily rescued he
would bleed to death.
"Ah. heard Joey barking. He has
gone aft" cried Elsie. And what is
that?" she added, moving suddenly to-
ward the center Of the salon. She
had caught the fierce hiss Of steam,
and she was well aware that steam
would only be brought into use IL the
Indians were endeavoring to climb the
ships sides. Not yet had 1t occurred
that they could possibly be on board.

Though he was proud of the iron nerve
which had won him repute In his pro-
fession, he almost prayed now that 1t
might not fail him at the last What
a horror, to be compelled with his part
ing glance to see this bright and gra
cious woman cruMple up ON the deck.
He heard ominous sounds from the
fore part Of the vessel. The revolver
shooting had ceased. for the convlnc-
ing reason there were no more car
tridges. Courtenay's double barreied
gun was being fred as quickly as he
could reload 1t. and the sharp snap OF
one of the rides in the Indians posses
sion was recognizable as coming from
the poop. the remaining marksmen
having preferred to fire Wildly from
their canoes. But Christobal knew that
a deadly struggle was In progress on
tho fore deck. Tollemache. Frascuelo
and three Chileans were engaged in
hand to hand fight with nearly score

He wondered why the girl. with her
acute senses, did not grasp the signifi-
canoe Of the yells ana trampling on the
deck until 1t occurredtto him. with
quick pang, that she was listening for
one voice alone. Owing to her igno-
rance Of the desperate nature OF the
conflict raging overhead she had ears
for nothing further.
He placed q hand on her shoulder.
She turned and looked Mt him. There
was gravity In his eyes which star
tied her.

to think when this time Of danger has
passed that we owed something to

1t was in his mind that he must
shoot her within few seconds. and
the Unreasonable agony Of the thought
reflected itself In his face. He had no
notion that she would give his words
q more direct significance than he In
tended them to bear. But strange.

do you hear that?" she cried in a
ringing voice. There are Indians on
board. Come! We must not stay here
when our friends are fighting for their
Nves.'
Christobal knew that this active girl
would readily outstrip him in race to
the deck. She was already several feet
distant, but he must detain her, no
matter what the cost. II she fell into
the clutches Of the ghouls then over
running the Kansas she might not be
killed, but only wounded. and her suf-
ferings would be uncomfortable ere the

you at supper In ten minutes"
1t was strange and peculiar fact
that Boyle had cornered Christobal In
the salon and had insisted on telling
him various remarkable anecdotes con.
corning the one legged skipper Of the
Flower OF the Ocean brig. 1t was still
more odd that when Christobal yielded
to unwonted and melancholy silence
after learning from Suarcz that the
senior captain had been talking to the
senorita for very long time on the
promenade deck Boyle should feel in
clined to sing. And then. with chill
ing inspiration. Christobal knew why
the chief officer had caused him to
miss the hour for relieving the watch.
Boyle had seen those two together and
had planned to leave them undis-
turbed.
The Spaniard was a dignlfied man.
He had inherited from his English
mother q saving sense OF humor. 1t
was intolerable that the pleasant rela-
lions existing between the few sur
vivors on board the Kansas should be
disturbed by reason Of any failure on
his part to acquiesce in Elsle's right
to bestow her affections where she
listed. He wondered II the girl had
come on deck after supper. Her habit
was to retire early. as she rose soon
after the sun He had seen her for a
moment only In passing out Of the ga
Ion, and there was a suspicious bright
ness in her eyes for which solicitude
on the dogs behalf would hardly ac-
count Why not put his fortunes to
the test that night and have done with
it? Yes; that was the right course.
So 1t was on the cards that Elsie
would be the amazed recipient Of two
proposals in one evening. which Is q

favored with in lifetime. Christobal
