The Spaniard was a dignifed man.
he had Inherited from his English
mother a 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 Elsie's right
to bestow her affections where she
listed. He wondered If the girl bad
come on deck after supper. Her habit
was to retire early, as she rose soon
after the sun. He had seen her for
moment only in passing out Of the sa-
lon, and there was 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 it was on the cards that Elsie
would be the amazed recipient Of two
proposals In one evening, which is a
better average than most women are
favored with in lifetime. Christobal
had entered the chart house with the
fixed intent Of warning Boyle that he
was going below for moment to ask
Miss Maxwell to come on deck when
hurried step on the bridge companion
caused the imminent words to be with
held.
1t was Courtenay, who had run up
from the salon to procure those fate
full letters which had so nearly parted
Elsie and himself. He had laughingly
refused to tell her their history. That
would spoil their effect, he said. She
must take them to her stateroom and
read them at her leisure. Then she
would see their true inwardness, and
his feelings would be spared, as he
could not deny that the majority of
them had been written by ladies.
On his way he looked into the wheel.

terror. Boyle, wrapped in a heavy
coat was seated in the most sheltered
corner. ~
"All quiet?" asked the captain IL
his brisk way.
"Nothin' doin', SIR" answered Boyle.

tired. Tollemache and I propose to re-

CHAPTER XIV.

VVYHEN Christobal descended to
wv the salon he found Elsie hold
w ing the excited dog. 1t was
instantly perceptible that she
was not aware Of the grave position
Of affairs on deck. She knew, of
course, that the Alaculof menace had
become active again, but the first at
tack had been beaten off so easily that
she was sure this later effort would
fail.
The dog was better Informed. His
alert ears told him that there were
strange beings on board. He struggled
so resolutely that Elsie freed him just
as the Spaniard reached the foot Of the
stairs. Forgetting his wounded paw

Of his race. Joey galloped up the com.

much distressed by her four footed

said, "and am afraid he runs some
risk Of being hit Do you think he

mo. I left him a moment ago close
to the salon entrance"
She listened intently. Her imagina-
ton led her astray, it was so hopeless
ly on the wrong tack.
There does not appear to be so
much stone throwing now, but sup
pose l ought not to go on deck" she
cried.
1T is not to be thought of, Miss
Maxwell. Indeed, the captain asked
me to come and bear you company"
Just fancy those horrid Indians ven
turing to approach the ship tonight
after the dreadful lesson they received
this afternoon! And what will poor
Senor Suarez say? He was so positive
that they would never come near US
after dark"
Il saw him also on the promenade
deck" answered Christobal quietly.
He had very much the semblance of
a 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

They were not yet clear of the door.
way when an extraordinary burst OF
cheering and shouts in English and
Spanish assailed their wondering ears
The sounds seemed to come from the
sea, from some point very near to the
ship. A loud hubbub arose among the
Indians. Courtenay, clubbing his gun
rushed past, with the dog at his heels
and ran up the bridge companion
They could follow his progress as he
raced toward the port side. and they
heard his amazed cry:
What boats are thoseY'
"Your own, captain" came the an.
swering yell, plainly audible above the
din.
THAT is Mr.. Grayv' screamed Elsie,
and she, too, ran toward the bridge,
with the doctor close behind.
"Sink every canoe you can get along
side Of and knock those fellows on the
head who are swimming! roared Cour-
tenay, who was so carried away by the
fierceness of the fight from which he
had just emerged that he would have
given the same directions to the arch
angel Michael had that warrior spirit
come to his aid.
He seemed to have eyes in the back
Of his head, he turned so suddenly
when Elsie neared him.
"Ah. thank God, you are safer he
said, drawing her to him for an in
stant. "Stand there. dear hearth"
He placed her in the forward angle
of the bridge rail and leaned out over
the side She understood that she must
not speak to him then, but great Joy
overwhelmed her, and her eyes melted
into tears.
Christobal, who had missed no word
Of Elsie's frenzied protest in the salon
nor failed to note the manner Of Cour-
tenay's greeting, seemed to take the
collapse Of his own aspirations with
the unmoved stoicism he had display
ed in the face of danger.
"The ships boats he began, but
the captain raised his gun and fred
twice aft alongside the side of the YES

splashing in the sea proved that he
had expedited the departure Of several
Indians who were perched on the rails

"The ships boats" went on Christie

mysterious manner, just in the nick of
time. A few minutes more and they
would have been too late"

1t was not easy to bear when IL
came, although he had guessed the
truth already. But he choked back
the wrath and despair which surged
up in him and said. with his stately
courtesy:
'T do wish you well, Elsie. No man
can hope more earnestly than l that
you have made the better choice"
Then he turned with q certain abrupt
ness which reminded her of the change
in his manner she had noticed once OF
twice during recent days and quilted
the bridge. She sighed and was sorry
for him, knowing that he loved her.
Courtenay, who had been far toe
busy to pay heed to anything beyond
the brief fight between the boats and
the canoes. perceived now that the
gangway was In position. Lights were
shining on both the upper and lower
platforms.
He stretched out his hand and drew
Elsie to him.
"Are you alone. sweetheartY' he
asked.
"Yes."

her. "P'raps you'll believe what I tell
