Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
Holbrook, her niece, were entrusted to
the care of Laurance Donovan, a writer,

Patricia confided 10 Donovan that she
feared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
bank failure, had constantly threatened

women. He learned of Miss Helen's an
noying suitor. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder, who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie, suitor for the hand OF
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie disap-
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
! Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her ia
ther meet on friendly terms. Donovan
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, a canoe-maker.
After short discussion Donovan left
surlily. Gillespie was discovered by DON
ovan presenting a country church with
$1,000. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged

well, what shall we do with the
dago?" he asked, rubbing his arms and
legs briskly.
I'VE ought to give him to the village
constable"
That's the law Of It, but not the
| common sense. The lords of Justice
would demand to know all the why
and wherefores, and the Italian consul
at Chicago would come down and make
fuss, and the man behind the dago
would lay low and no good would
come"
When will Holbrook be back?-
that's the question"
We'll, the market has been very
feverish and my guess is that he won't
last many days. He had a weakness
for Industrials, as I remember. and
they've been very groggy. What he
wants Is his million from Miss Pat,
and he has own chivalrous notions of
collecting it,
We decided finally to leave the man
| free, but to take away his boat. Giles
pie was disposed to make light of
the whole affair, now that we had got
off with our lives. We searched the
hut for weapons and ammunition. and
| having collected several knives and
belt and revolver from the trunk, we
| poured water on the Italian, carried
him into the open and loosened the
ropes with which Gillespie had tied
| him.
The man glared at us fiercely and
muttered incoherently for few min
utes. but after Gillespie had dashed
| another pail of water on him he stood
| up and was tame enough.
Tell him. said Gillespie, that we
j shall not kill him to-day Tell him
that this being Tuesday we shall
| spare his life-that we never kill any
one on Tuesday, but that we shall
come back tomorrow and make shark
meat of him. Assure him that we are
terrible villains and man-hunters-"
When will your employer return 30

He shook his head and declared that

he had been hired in New York to

demanded
"Holbrook- 1 sail his boat, the StilIet-

But it was not he who was with
you on the houseboat in the creek. Mr..
Holbrook was not there. Do not lie
to me. Who was the other man that
wanted you to kill Holbrook?"
He appeared mystified, and Giles
pie, to whom had told nothing of my
encounter at the boat-maker's, looked
from one to the other OF us with a
puzzled expression on his face.
"All he knows is that he's hired to
sail boat and, incidentally, stick peo-
pie with his knife" said Gillespie in
disgust. I'VE can do nothing till Hol-
brook comes back; let's be going"
We finally gathered up the Italians

went to the east shore. where we put

There was no mistaking that voice,
and l now saw two legs clothed in
white duck that belonged, was sure,
to Gillespie. My head and shoulders
filled the window and so darkened the
room that the prisoner thought his
jailer had come back to torment him.
Shut up. Gillespie" l muttered.
This is Donovan. That fellow will
be back in minute. What can l do
for you?"
What can you do for me-" he splut-
tered. "Oh, nothing, thanks! l

In turning over, the better to level
his ironies at me, he had stirred up

sneezed and cor9hed in a ridiculous
fashion. AS l did not move he added:
You come in here and cut these

room that contained a fireplace, a

"On the west side"
Then we're in for a scrap. That

he'll see that there's another man on

he added mournfully.
He stamped his feet and threshed
himself with his arms to restore circu-
lation, then we went into the larger
room, where he dug his own revolver
from the trunk and pointed to the shot
gun in the corner.
You'd better get that. This fellow
has only knife in his clothes. He'll
