thing that Logotheti and Nine. Anna
proposed, after putting their heads to-

great deal about it.
It was nearly dark when the naph-
tina launch took them out to the yacht,
which lay under the mole where the
big English and German passenger
steamers and the men-of-war ate
moored.
Logotheti had at last received Mar
garet's telegram asking him to meet
her at once. 1t had failed to reach
him in Gibraltar, and had been tele-
graphed on thence to Naples, and
when he read it he was considerably
disturbed. He wrote a long message

tripling the number of words she had

came, for Margaret was herself at
sea and nothing could reach her. He

He took Baraka ashore and placed

night He had the effrontery to say
that Baraka was q niece of his from

Anna, grave and magnificently calm
under all circumstances, had q vague

owner and party on board"
Well" said Mr.. Van Torp, lets
get to Naples, quick. How long will it
take, captain?"
About eight hours, sir, counting
our getting under weigh and out of
this crowded water, which won't take
long, for the tide will soon turn"
Go ahead" said Mr.. Van Torp.
Capt. Brown prepared to get under
weigh again as quickly as possible.
The entrance to Messina harbor Is
narrow, and it was natural that, as he
was in hurry, huge Italian man-of-
war should enter the harbor st that
very moment, with the solemn and
safe deliberation which the move
ments of line-of-battle ships require
when going in and out of port. There
was nothing to be done but to wait
patiently till the fairway was clear.
1t was not more than a quarter of an
hour, but Capt. Brown was in hur-
ry, and as there was fresh morning
breeze blowing across the harbor he
could not even get his anchor up with
safety before he was ready to start.
The result of all these delays was
that at about nine o'clock he saw the
Erinna right ahead, bows on and only
half mile away, just between Scylla
and Faro, where the whirlpool is still
a danger to sailing vessels and slow
steamers, and just as the tide was
turning against her and in his own
favor He did not like to leave the
bridge, even for moment, and sent
the second mate with an urgent mes
sage requesting Mr.. Van Torp to come
up as soon as he could.
Five minutes earlier the owner had
sat down to breakfast opposite Lady
Maud, who was very pale and had
dark shadows under her eyes for the
first time since he had known her. AS
soon as the steward left them alone,
she spoke.
1T is Leven," she said, "and he
wants me to take him back"
Mr.. Van Torp set down his tea un-
tasted and stared at her. He was not
often completely taken by surprise,
but for once he was almost speech
less. His lips did not even move 81.
lently
II was sure it was he," Lady Maud
said, but did not expect that"

his voice. ''he shan't. That's all"

Il can't help It, Maud" said Van
Torp, almost in whisper, Il don't be-
lieve it. I don't believe in impossi-
bilities like that beard Of his. 1t may
sound ridiculous in the face of your
recognizing your own husband, but
it's solid fact, and you can't get
over it. l wish could catch the Erin
ma and show him to that Tartar girl.
