dertaken by New York organization.
This man might be called a play drum

complete line of play Of all kinds" were
it not for the fact that he has absolutely
nothing to sell, although he is ready to
provide extensive samples OF his wares.
He has no wish to make his expenses
or salary. and all that his firm de-
mands is that at the end of the trip the
salesman" shall report that SO many
thousands Of children in the cities he has
visited have been given a place where
they can play ball or dig In the sand with
out fear of being chased by q policeman
or being killed by an automobile. This

CHAPTER XVII.

Fortune could not possibly have served
me a more scurvy trick than to bring
Beltano back to the island at that mo-
ment, and as / gazed at the onconling
boat ] could have cursed myself for hav-
ing wasted the hours In the vain search
for Drake.
1t was hopeless to think Of getting
away now. A boat lay at the landing
stage. but neither oars nor sailing gear
were in 1t, and If Molta and the men with
her had been as eager to speed my de-
parture as they were dead set upon pre-
venting 1t. could not have escaped. Be-
fore could have started Beltano would
have been near enough to have cut of all
chance OF escape.
From the high-water mark Of almost
exuberant confidence my spirits ebbed
until I was very close to despair. Barely
an hour before I had been virtually mas
ter of the position on the island: / had
gained the vital information for which I
had risked the return; Giuseppe was in
hiding in fear for his life. and no one
else. even at Molta's bidding. would have
dared to cross swords with me.
But with Beltano once more in COM
mand everything would be changed. His
influence was paramount. and even the
men who were friendly would follow and
obey him instead OF helping me. AS Breva
had declared. they were more afraid of
him than Of me- and this fear would de-
termine their action ! could not count
upon the help Of a single man on the
island save Breva, and in the crisis which
was at hand the lad. devoted as he was,
would be powerless.
Plagued by these bitter reflections. I
was thinking what to do when Molta
called Breva away and then came UP to
me. She knew what her brothers return
meant to me and the desperate mess I
should be In the instant his foot touched
the shore. and guessed should be ready
to grasp at any chance.
What am I to tell Carlo when he
lands Beppo?'
What should you tell him?'

! all but capsize. and at others he brought
her up too close, with the result that she
was taken aback. and the big sail tapped
idly and dangerously as she lost way.
| More clumsy management could not
! have been displayed. and at length. after
| a more than usually heavy squall had
all but laid her on her beam ends, the
man appeared to realize his danger He
lowered the sail altogether and took to
the heavy oars.
I could make out then that he was
alone in the boat, and almost as unskill-
full with the oars as he had shown HIM
self with the sail. He was heading for
the mainland. but his chances OF reach

an angry foam were poor enough.
Who the fool could be baffled me. The
veriest clown on the island could have
managed the boat better than he was
doing. and that Beltano should have
man was as inexplicable as that he
should have sent him away the moment
he had landed.
Presently my attention was taken from
the boat by an incident at the farmstead:
Pepita came out wringfng her hands and
hurried in the direction Of the mems hut
| Then Molta showed at the door Of the
farmstead and catching sight OF Pepita,
turned and called to some one within.
J The next moment Asapa rushed out and
speaking In evident excitement and GEES
ticulating freely. / could see that Molta
rated the girl as they all went back into
the house together.
But not a sign was there OF Beltano:
1t was plain that my first surmise had
been wrong. He and Molta were not
discussing me. Where could he be? What
could this strange inactivity betoken? AS
rule he was man of instant prompt
ness in action, and that he should daily
l. Ill e.. To- nly Nnot
What was to augur from 1t? l was
entirely at a loss.
Pepita's action suggested that some
thing was onfoot in the farmstead. which
she had stolen out to tell Breva or some
other of the men, and that the others had
discovered her and prevented the at
tempt. Then it occurred to me that Bel
tano might have discovered Breva's COM
plicity in the matter of Masita's escape.
and that Pepita had rushed out to try
disquieted me intensely. It was for my
sake the lad had run the risk. and to
leave him to bear the brunt Of 1t was
cowardly.
I must go to his help. That was GER
tain, and I was turning to go down for
the purpose when caught sight of Breva
himself coming in the direction of the
huts from the fields.

not in any immediate danger from Bel

CHAPTER XVIII.
Molta's Triumph.

AS raced in the direction Of the farm
stead / began to understand the reason
why Beltano had been content to take no
steps against me on his arrival. With
Masita once more in his hands he could
we'll afford to leave me alone until he had
carried through his purpose with her.
Molta had probably told him on his ar
rival that had gone to the old fort. and
his object now was to conceal the fact of
Masita's presence from me until It would
be too late for me to interfere. I had
little doubt that he had brought priest
with him. and the strange quiet which
had so perplexed me probably meant that
he and Molta had been hurrying forward
the preparations for a marriage. I knew
how glad she would be to help on such a
thing.
fact that Agapa was apparently lending
her help as we'll. The very last thing she
would do! And at this thought was as
completely mystified as ever.
One thing was quite clear. however. !
would do my utmost to stop any mar
riage. There would be a fight for 1t, of
course. Beltano was the last man in the
world to yield to anything but force. and
he would stake his life to carry his pur-
pose / should have the advantage of
surprise. however. and must therefore
make the most OF It.
With this idea I approached the farm
stead from the back, and. finding the door
locked, forced one Of the windows with as
little noise as possible and gained an en-
trance that way.
AS / stood a moment in the passage
listening for Beltano's deep voice, Pepita
crossed from one room to another and
caught sight of me. She started and put
her finger to her lips, to enjoin silence,
and then pointed to the floor above, indi-
eating a room at the right Of the house.
I ran up to the room. holding my re-
volver In readiness-for it was a case In
which the first advantage might decide
everything-and knocked at the door.
After a slight pause some one came and
turned the key In the lock. / pushed the
door wide open and rushed in. expecting
to como face to face with Beltano, and
was ready to fire If the need came.
But there was no need, and only
laughed at my needless precaution. Bel
tano was not there. No one. except Molta
and Masita.
With a half shamefaced air pocketed
my weapon and looked from one to the
other of them in questioning surprise.
Masita sprang to her feet at my en-
trance. and her look OF alarm gave way
to one OF intense relief. I judged that
she had been expecting Beltano. and that
this was the cause Of the change in her
look. But I learnt the real reason after

For q few seconds neither of US spoke.
where is Beltano?' asked. at length.
To my surprise the question discon-
certed Molta. She hesitated and then
stammered out: Ion the other side of
the island. have sent for him."

"The quarrel that is alleged to have

Mr.. Linville intimates that the
whole matter has been egregiously
exaggerated by men who hate or fear
him. 1t is known that stories OF the
matter were carried to police head
quarters with much glee by some
men, who themselves perhaps drink
as much daily as, the average police
officer does in a month
Apparently the whole matter is
deprecated among the members Of
the police department, as there is a
disposition to look upon il as an
issue that has been brought about
mainly by the influence of outsiders
whose motives, perhaps, may be
questioned, and who apparently are
not coming into court with clean
hands"

drunken gangs, the same noisy pianos

HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.

The announcement in the Astorian
yesterday morning Of the suspension
Of Patrolman Linyille pending the
investigation Of charges by the police
commissioners was the source OF
much comment around the city.
Commissioner Martin Foard is out
of town and as far as is known the
other two members of the board have
taken no action in relation to the
matter.
Patrolman Linville is taking the
matter good-naturedly. He admits
he had words with brother police
officer on the night in question, but
denies that there was any public or
noisy alteration and denies with
an emphasis that leaves no doubt Of
his meaning that he was drunk or
under the influence of liquor.
Yesterday and last night the big
police officer walked around town
and chatted freely with friends. With
eyes clear and complexion like a

FOOT BALL FEVER.

NEW YORK, Oct. l0-The foot
ball schedule for to-day contains
games that have several of the big
eastern teams worried. Last Satur-
day it was Yale's turn to be worried,
Syracuse being the opponent, while
to-day Pennsylvania takes on Penn
sylvania State team not to be held
lightly. The state men scored a
touchdown against the Indians week
ago and were beaten solely because OF
the drop kicking skill Of the red men.
Probably the most gruelling game in
the East to-day will be at Buffalo,
where the Carlisle Indians and SYRIA
cuse meet.
1t was all Yale could do to beat
Syracuse a week ago and the SYRIA
cuseans are heavier than the Indians
Princeton will meet Lafayette, the
latter being something Of an unknown
quantity. Harvard's opponent to-
day is Williams who in past years
has given the crimson more than one
lively afternoon and is expected to
prove tn toughest foe faced so far
this season.
The freshment teams Of Yale and
Princeton will get under way this af-
ternoon, Yale at Andover and
Princeton at Exeter.
