 He did try. Joey scuffied little. but Suarez caught him by the neck and made shift to descend. Elsie was already on the swaying ladder when Boyle's voice rang out sharply from the spar deck:
 Below there! Who is there?"
 q, Mir. Boylew she answered.
 "You, Miss Elsie? Where are you?"
 "Here-not so far away"
 She was descending all the time. She had cast loose the rope which fas- tened the canoe alongside, and her diff ficulty was to hold the ladder and at the same time by clinging to the mast to prevent the canoe from slipping away with the tide. The revolver she gripped between her teeth by the butt
 Boyle, puzzled by the sound of her voice, ran from the side of the bridge down the stairs and across the deck He was a second too late to grasp the top of the mast as it drifted out of reach. He heard Elsie utter a low voiced command in Spanish, and the dip of a paddle told him that the ca- noe was in motion.
 "For the Lords sake, what are you doing?" he roared.

had sprung up that Courtenay was alive, it was absurd to doubt her mo- tives.
 So it came to pass that Diego Suarez, lying asleep in his bunk. awoke with a start to find a shrouded figure bend ing over him.
 "Is that you, Senor Suarez" asked a voice. which he recognized instantly as belonging to the Senorita Maxwell.
 Yes" said he drowsily.
 Have you the witch doctors clothes you wore when you came on board the ship?"
 "Yes, senOrita."
 A hand, slight. but strong. grasped him by the shoulder. He felt the rim of revolver barrel pressed against his forehead.
 "Get up thenI Dress quickly in those clothes and come out on deck. By the side of your bunk you will find tins of black and white paint to smear your face and hands. At the slightest re- fusal on your part to do as bid you if you utter a cry or make a noise to attract attention-I shall kill you with out another word"
 The soft voice had steely ring in it which persuaded the man from Argen- tina that he had better obey. In less than five minutes he emerged from the doorway. The corridor in which his cabin was situated led into the salon. Elsie awaited him. A lamp. dlmly light ing the gangway. revealed her face. Suarez thought he had to deal with a mad woman. The dog standing by her side sniffed at him gingerly. but a muttered Be quiet. Joey~ prevented any outburst. every fox terrier being a born conspirator.

 The hammer of the revolver began to rise under the pressure of Elsie's finger on the trigger. The mans hair rose even more rapidly. Ills nerve was broken. He turned along the cor ridor in front Of her. not knowing the instant bullet might crash into his head. The girl followed so closely that she almost touched bis heels.

WATERBURY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY. MARCH 2l. 1908

Every one agreed that nothing could be done that night. If the pillar of smoke were visible at sunrise and Walker could possibly manage to fire the boilers, Boyle suggested that some sailors in the jolly boat should sound a channel along which the vessel itself might steam slowly toward Guanaco hill. That in itself would be move of considerable value. If they could lessen the distance between the shore and the ship. each yard thus gained would help the prisoners and impose stronger barrier against the Alaculofs, who would probably be daunted when they found that the vessels mobility was restored.
 This proposal was deemed so excel lent that they all dined in vastly bet ter spirits than any of them anticipat- ed. Christobal. puzzled out of his sci entiflc senses by Elsie's change of manner, kept a close eye on her. He was amazed to see her eat better meal than she had eaten for days, and she was normally a quite healthy young person, with a reasonably good appetite.
 Boyle and Gray took the first watch, from 8 o'clock to midnight. Christobal and Walker shared the next one. By o'clock it would be daylight, so the doctor was retiring early to his cabin when he met Elsie, by chance, as it seemed. She was self possessed, even smiling. with a certain dour serenity.
 "The days doings have tired me-" she said. T am off to bed. Will you rap on my door soon after dawn?"
 Yes" he replied, secretly marveling at her air.
 T plead guilty to a slight feeling of nervousness" she went on. 'Is your revolver loaded? Would you mind lending it to me? I think could sleep more soundly if had a reliable weap. on tucked under ny pillow"
 A whiff of suspicion crossed Christo- bal's mind, but he brushed it aside as unworthy. At o'clock that day he certainly would not have granted her request. But now, since the new hope

 q am well armed and shall admit of uo interference" she cried.
 "I promise to obey orders."
 If I wanted you, MT. Gray, l should have sought your help"
 Ut is one thing or the other, a wrig- gle down a rope or high diving act"
 You have no right to impose such an alternative on me"
 q hate it myself, and can't dive worth a cent You will hear a beastly flop when I strike the damp"
 "Mr. Boyle. call on you to hold him."
 Boyle explained luridly that the American was doing balancing act on the rail eight feet above his head. Elsie, taking her eyes off Suarez for an instant, discerned Gray's figure sil- houetted against the sky She yielded.
 "There is rope ladder fastened to the lowest rail near where the canoe was moored," she said.
 "Is there to be any catch-as-catch-can business, Boyleg demanded Gray.
 No. All this is mighty unfair to me-"
 You have my sympathy, friend, but you can't leave the ship. Now, Miss Maxwell, come alongside. Boyle is going to be good. He doesn't mean half he says anyhow"
 AS the canoe slipped out of the dense gloom of the ships shadow the Argen- tine squatted on his knees in the bows, Gray placed himself amidships, and Elsie sat aft, holding the revolver in her right hand and the dogs collar in her left. The American groped for and found d paddle, which he piled vigor- ously.
 Guess you'd better discourse" said he over his shoulder when the light craft was well clear of the ship.
 "You understand Spanish, I think"
 'Yes."
 Please tell Suarez to cease pad ding and listen. Don't move. I can trust you, but may have to shoot him."
 Best hand me that popgun, Miss Maxwell. The gentleman in front seems to have n wholesome respect for you already. Anything you say goes where he is concerned. am taking your word for it his name is Suarez, but he looks and smells more like an Indian"
 q forced him to dress in his dis carded clothes. He may be able now to scare any of the savages we come across. But why should I give you my weapon. Mir. Gray"
 Because I can hit most things I aim at, whereas you are more likely to bore hole through me as pre- llminary. Moreover, you have the dog with you. and even the wisest dog may bark at the wrong moment. You must have both hands at liberty to choke his enthusiasm"
 Do you pledge your word to go on with my scheme?"
 "That is what I am here for"

What do you think of it?' Chris kobal asked Tollemache as the latter appeared to be sauntering after the chief officer
 "Courtenay is hard man to stop,' said Tollemache, vanishing down the companion. The Spaniard was left alone on the bridge. He paced to and fro deep in thought. He scarce dared probe his own communings. So con- plex were they, such queer amalgam of noble fear and base expectation, that he could have cried aloud in his anguish. Big drops of precipitation stood on his forehead when Courtenay came to him.
 For Gods sake, don't go," said he hoarsely. Do you know you are plac ing me on the rack:"
 Your sufferings are of your OVID contriying, then. Why. man, there's no reason for all this agony. I have written to Elsie, briefly explaining mat ters. Here is the letter. Give it to her if I don't return. And now pull yourself together I want you to cheer her. Above all things, don't let her

 room, and there Elsie sat with her little while soothing her as one might comfort child in pain.
 Isobel. stupefied by some haunting knowledge which appeared to have a vague connection with the misfortunes of the Kansas, yielded to Elsie's gentle compulsion and endeavored to close her eyes.
 Through the open port Elsie heard a man walk rapidly along the deck and halt outside the door. She half rose from her knees to answer the expected knock, thinking that Mrs. Somerville had sent steward to ascertain if Miss Barring needed anything, but the new conner evidently changed his mind and turned back. Then came Courtenay's voice. low. but compelling:
 'one moment. NJ. de Poincilit. A word with you"
 Another time, m'sieu l pray you pardon me now. I find I am not strong enough yet to venture on deck"
 "0h, yes, you are, m'sieu'. want to give you the chance of your life. Mir Gray has told me of your behavior, and he charitably added that your cow ardice and treachery might have arisen from ungoyernable fear. Now. if you wish to atone for your conduct, here is an opportunity. I am taking a boat ashore to try to save some of my men who are imprisoned there. There is a fair risk in the venture.

 Courtenay's voice was raised little.
 ''Mr. Boyle" he said, give orders that if this skunk shows his nose in- side the salon again he is to be kicked out. He can eat his meals in his state room or in the fore cabin with the oth- CT savages."
 Elsie heard every word She fancied, foo. that Isobel was listening, though she gave no sign. But the unknown cause of the captains anger was as naught compared with the statement that he was about to leave the ship She had heard the lowering of the boat without needing He was already climbing down the ships side Soon fe would he far from her. perhaps nev- CT to return. for he was not one to paint imaginary ills. and had he not told De POincsit what the outcome Of the undertaking might be: She found Isolei looking at her with frightened eyes.

0 OYLE was very angry. IL was N a situation which demanded
 earnest words, and they were
 forthcoming. Elsie understood them to mean that she need not be in such a purple hurry to disappear into the darkness without the least ex- planation. Thereupon she bade Suarez back the canoe little.
 q am sorry it is necessary to steal away in this fashion," she said, and the coolness of her tone was highly exasperating to man who could no more detain her than he could move the Kansas unaided. T have plan which requires only bit of good for tune to render it practicable. l have two assistants-SuareZ, whose aid l am compelling, and Joey, who is quite eager. There is no use in risking any more lives. If do not return you may be sure the worst has happened"
 "But what is your plan" roared Boyle. Tt may be just sheer non sense. Tell me what it is, an l swear by the nautical almanac l shall not prevent you from carryin' it out if it has any reason behind it."
 "I am going to ce.lect all the Indian canoes" was the amazing answer. T know it can be done from what Suarez has said. Once we have the canoes in midchannel we can set most of them adrift and bring Captain Courtenay and the others back to the ship in four or five, which we will tow to Guanaco hill. And now goodby again"
 "One moment, Miss Maxwell" broke in Gray's quiet voice from the upper deck. You can't engineer that scheme with a one man crew and he sick and unwilling am going with you. You

filling 1t in the dark, give 1t to me if you have occasion to empty it."
 "You seem to have thought this thing out pretty fully"
 q intend to succeed. Now, please, must explain what want Suarez to do."
 Speaking in Spanish, slow and clear, while the canoe drifted steadily up the bay with the rising tide, Elsie unfold ed her project Behind the guardian cliff of Otter creek ridge of rocks created n small natural harbor. It was the custom of the Alaculofs when the weather was calm and they meant to use their craft at daybreak to an- chor most of their vessels in this shell tered breakwater. At other times the canoes were drawn ashore but she req soned that such precaution would not be taken during the present excite 'nent
 That was the first part of her pro ,ramme-to capture the entire fleet, in-
 uding the lifeboat. In any event, she intended to SC next to the hidden cleft tt the foot of Guanaco hill, trusting to he dogs sagacity to reveal the re- reat where she believed that her lover nd many of his men were hidden. If squad of Indians mounted guard here, the reappearance of Suarez in lis war paint, backed by the alarm of night attack from the sea. might mys tify the enemy sufficiently to permit of a landing, while the frequent reports of the revolver would certainly lead to a counter demonstration by Courtenay.
 Gray listened to the girls cool state ment with growing admiration. The plan began to look feasible. It came within the bounds of reason. The dds were against 1t, of course, but the aw of probability is seldom in favor ,f a forlorn hope. Suarez, too, making the best of a situation which gave him no option, agreed that they had fair chance if once they got hold of the canoes. Nevertheless he warned them that he knew nothing of the surround ings of Guanaco hill. He believed there were no reefs on that sJe of the inlet, but he had never visited it. Their greatest peril lay amid the al- most impenetrable trees which grew down to the waters edge. On his ad- vice Gray unshipped the mast and threw it overheard. Then silence be- came imperative. If aught were said, they must speak in the merest whis- per.
