myself back in the shanty on the vacant lot
again. Ali what's that"
1t was hard bunch in the lower hem of
the trousers leg, and Nat, detecting it as he
sought to trim the ragged tear, ripped the
seam near it, and drew forth-the one hum
dred dollars he had missed the evening of
starting for Rio Janeiro on the Brazilian
freight steamer.
He could scarcely believe his eyes, yet there
it was, hattened into wad from pressure,
the very bills Sam Taylor had given him.
He had never lost them at all, but they
had slipped down the lining from the pocket,
to reappear at a most auspicious hour in his
strange destiny.
1t was like a drink of cold water in de-
sert, the CLEAN of a star amid a tempest.
Hope revived. Money was a potent element
to success in his undertaking Just now, and
Nat slept the sleep of satisfaction in a com
Portable bed that night and was off on his
search for Tom Carberry with the earliest
dawn.
Before noon his perseverance was reward
ed He had obtained trace Of Carberry by
pertinacious questioning, then of 10 Morris,
then of both together.
These clues he followed down. At the hour
mentioned Nat knew that the sailor and
10 had left Rio that very morning on the
China-bound vessel Star
How they had come to meet be could not
surmise. How to oyertake them was the
problem he now set himself to solve.
A man with a small steam-yacht was ap.
pealed to. Twenty dollars for three hours
use of his boat did not tempt him-ffty did,
and for three hours craft after craft was

murmured lightly "Well, there was no use
getting into a row. They might keep me, to
work out the damage l did"
That would not suit him. He had expert
enced all the sea adventure he cared for just
then; and besides, all his thoughts were on
the object of his visit to Rio Janeiro.
He wandered around aimlessly, for some
time. If he had not lost the money he would
have known just what to do-advertise IN
the newspapers, employ some detective or
agent to search the shipping headquarters for
trace of the sailor, Tom Carberry.
As it was, and late as it was, Nat made
some inquiries. The language generally used,
however, was Spanish, and he found it diff
cult to convey his ideas to most Of the sail
OTIS he spoke to.
Then he thought of the circus company
At midnight Nat had learned something.
He had traced the passengers and employees
from the wrecked steamer Pilgrim to a hotel,
and had ascertained that they had left for
various points two weeks previous, and that
no one remembered having seen a boy an
swering to 10 Morris description among them.
Nat was tired enough when he left the
hotel; he sat down to rest on a fencebase
surrounding beautiful garden.
The moon shone brightly, and he was almost
tempted to lie down there and sleep.
'1'm afraid i shan't make so much head
way as ] thought" be reflected quite CON
cernedly. 81 seem to be IN new world"
No; his coat was torn in a dozen places
and the knees of his trousers were shiny and
worn. One leg had caught on nail and

row was four feet lower. He dropped down
and lit match. "A
fectly solid even to the floor overhead.
Nat paused there. 1t would be some, trou-
BILE to reach the top row of casks, and even
then he might not be able to bulge one OF
them; and if he did, the Succeeding row, if
There was. one, might be of still less nova
II can't stand it. I've got to get some
thing to drink. My throat's just burning
up" thought miserable Nat. There's a lot
of boxes here, and two casks just under the
sacks. They may have something to eat or
drink in them. I'll pile the sacks to get up
to those barrels, anyway"
The casks seemed to contain some kind of
seeds, for they were light but shifty,
Nat tumbled them down or piled them up,
and finally came to a rounding board sur
face.
"a caskl" He breathed hopefully. "Oh,
if it's only drink l don't care if it's vinegar.
How good it sounds! just like the pung of
the lineup on the old waterbarrel at home!"
He felt over the surface of the cask The
ragged edge of a canvascapped stopper of
wood met his touch. He was prying and cut
ting at it with the blade of his pocket knife
the next minute.
He poked his finger in az the stopper came
out. Moisture was there, but the cask was
not full, and he could not reach its contents
He approached his nose to the aperture.

ter. Oh, if it's only water of any kindi"
1t was; but Nat had some difficulty In ind
ing it out.
The swish Of the fluid made him frantic as
he tugged at the cask to get it to a position
sideways. Then the warm, musty- tasting
water laved his lips and throat, and he kept
his mouth to the everhowing hole till he
could drink no more.
He found later that it was some kind Of
mineral water, from noted Western spring,
and this accounted for it's peculiar taste.
To follow Nat, after that joyous relief from
suffering, through the experience of the next
twenty-five days, would be to detail stow
away's career, that has come to more than
one venturesome boy, with sameness of
main themes of thought and action.
Among the merchandise Nat found box
of ships biscuits, and, LATER some hams Day
by day he worked his way from tier to tier
of the freight. He had ample to eat and
drink, and, except for severe handling during
storm, he knew but few terrors during
the monotonous voyage in the dark:
One morning, he saw a streak OF daylight
beyond some crockery crates. He burrowed
toward it, piling the intervening freight be
hind him, reached clear spot just beneath
hatchway, and, discerning flight of steps,
could see through an interstice the deck of
the steamer.
He did not reveal himself, however, for
an overheard conversation of the captain and
the mate informed him that the Alcazar was
near moorings, and would be IN dock at Rio
Janeiro by nightfall.
The matches were opened about dusk. Nat
lurked in the shade of the hold for some
time. ventured to steal on deck at last, and
few minutes later stood once more on dry
land.

overhauled, only to find that it was not the
Star.
The yachtman had refused to venture
further into open waters, when Carberry,
from the deck of the Star, noted his strange
actions
At that very moment Nat had seen in the
distance what he took to be the flag and
fgure,h of the Star as they had been
described to him at Rio.
The wind was light and battling, and she
scarcely made any progress at all, the har-
Dor shipping being still plainly visible from
her deck.
Nat insisted on going to her. The yacht
man refused. He did not believe it was the
Star.
The time bargained for had expired, and
as he had the boys money, and that was
about all the interest he had in the business
anyway, he announced his determination to
abandon the search and to return to Rio with
out troubling himself further in the matter
To this Nat would not agree by any man
ner of means. There was a struggle, dive
overheard, and it was not long before daunt-
less Nat knew that he had not been mistaken.
Thus it was that the two friends, long
parted, came to meet again under circunl-
stances that no one would have thought pos
sibe an hour previous to its actual occurrence.
